1.Presentation of Interim Information

 

First Savings Financial Group, Inc. (the “Company”) is a financial holding company and the parent of First Savings Bank (the “Bank”) and First Savings Insurance Risk Management, Inc. (the “Captive”).

 

The Bank, which is a wholly-owned Indiana-chartered commercial bank subsidiary of the Company, provides a variety of banking services to individuals and business customers through fourteen locations in southern Indiana. The Bank attracts deposits primarily from the general public and uses those funds, along with other borrowings, primarily to originate commercial mortgage, residential mortgage, construction, commercial business and consumer loans, and to a lesser extent, to invest in mortgage-backed securities and other securities. The Bank has two wholly-owned subsidiaries: First Savings Investments, Inc., a Nevada corporation that manages a securities portfolio, and Southern Indiana Financial Corporation, which is currently inactive. At September 30, 2016, the Bank had a third wholly-owned subsidiary, FFCC, Inc. (“FFCC”), which was an Indiana corporation that participated in commercial real estate development and leasing.

At June 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, the Company did not have any securities held to maturity with an unrealized loss.

 

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such evaluation. Consideration is given to (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

The total available for sale debt securities in loss positions at June 30, 2017, which consisted of U.S. government agency mortgage backed securities, agency CMOs, privately issued CMOs and municipal bonds, had a fair value as a percentage of amortized cost of 98.88%. All of the agency and municipal securities are issued by U.S. government-sponsored enterprises and municipal governments, and are generally secured by first mortgage loans and municipal project revenues.

 

The Company evaluates the existence of a potential credit loss component related to the decline in fair value of the privately issued CMO and ABS portfolios each quarter using an independent third party analysis. At June 30, 2017, the Company held fifteen privately-issued CMO and ABS securities, acquired in a 2009 bank merger, with an aggregate amortized cost of $1.8 million and fair value of $2.5 million that have been downgraded to a substandard regulatory classification due to the security’s credit quality rating by various nationally recognized statistical rating organizations.

 

At June 30, 2017, two privately-issued CMO were in loss positions and had depreciated approximately 12.92% from the Company’s carrying value and were collateralized by residential mortgage loans. These securities had a total fair value of $126,000 and a total unrealized loss of $19,000 at June 30, 2017, and were rated below investment grade by NRSROs. Based on the independent third party analysis of the expected cash flows, management has determined that no other-than-temporary impairment is required to be recognized on the privately issued CMO and ABS portfolios. While the Company did not recognize a credit related impairment loss at June 30, 2017, additional deterioration in market and economic conditions may have an adverse impact on the credit quality in the future and therefore, require a credit related impairment charge.

 

The unrealized losses on U.S. government agency mortgage-backed securities and CMOs and municipal bonds relate principally to current interest rates for similar types of securities. In analyzing an issuer’s financial condition, management considers whether the securities are issued by the federal government, its agencies, or other governments, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred, and the results of reviews of the issuer’s financial condition. As management has the ability to hold debt securities to maturity, or for the foreseeable future if classified as available for sale, no declines are deemed to be other-than-temporary.

 

During the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2017, the Company realized gross gains on sales of available for sale securities of $96,000 and gross losses of $66,0000. During the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2016, the Company did not realize any gross gains or losses on sales of available for sale securities.

 

Certain available for sale debt securities were pledged under repurchase agreements and to secure FHLB borrowings at June 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, and may be pledged to secure federal funds borrowings.

The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, public information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, and current economic conditions and trends, among other factors. The Company classifies loans based on credit risk at least quarterly. The Company uses the following regulatory definitions for risk ratings:

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Loss: Loans classified as loss are considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance on the Company’s books as an asset is not warranted.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

 

Modification of a loan is considered to be a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) if the debtor is experiencing financial difficulties and the Company grants a concession to the debtor that it would not otherwise consider. By granting the concession, the Company expects to obtain more cash or other value from the debtor, or to increase the probability of receipt, than would be expected by not granting the concession. The concession may include, but is not limited to, reduction of the stated interest rate of the loan, reduction of accrued interest, extension of the maturity date or reduction of the face amount or maturity amount of the debt. A concession will be granted when, as a result of the restructuring, the Company does not expect to collect all amounts due, including interest at the original stated rate. A concession may also be granted if the debtor is not able to access funds elsewhere at a market rate for debt with similar risk characteristics as the restructured debt. The Company’s determination of whether a loan modification is a TDR considers the individual facts and circumstances surrounding each modification.

 

Loans modified in a TDR may be retained on accrual status if the borrower has maintained a period of performance in which the borrower’s lending relationship was not greater than ninety days delinquent at the time of restructuring and the Company determines the future collection of principal and interest is reasonably assured. Loans modified in a TDR that are placed on nonaccrual status at the time of restructuring will continue on nonaccrual status until the Company determines the future collection of principal and interest is reasonably assured, which generally requires that the borrower demonstrate a period of performance according to the restructured terms of at least six consecutive months.

 

The following table summarizes the Company’s recorded investment in TDRs at June 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016. There was no specific reserve included in the allowance for loan losses related to TDRs at June 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016.

Total   9   $461   $594 

 

For the TDRs listed above, the terms of modification included deferral of contractual principal and interest payments, reduction of the stated interest rate and extension of the maturity date where the debtor was unable to access funds elsewhere at a market interest rate for debt with similar risk characteristics.

 

At June 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, the Company had not committed to lend any additional amounts to customers with outstanding loans classified as TDRs.

 

There were no principal charge-offs recorded as a result of TDRs during the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016. There was no specific allowance for loan losses related to TDRs modified during the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016. In the event that a TDR subsequently defaults, the Company evaluates the restructuring for possible impairment. As a result, the related allowance for loan losses may be increased or charge-offs may be taken to reduce the carrying amount of the loan.

 

During the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company did not have any TDRs that were modified within the previous twelve months and for which there was a payment default.

Loan Servicing Rights

 

The Company originates loans to commercial customers under the SBA 7(a) and other programs. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2016, the Company began selling the guaranteed portion of the SBA loans with servicing retained. Loan servicing rights on originated SBA loans that have been sold are initially recorded at fair value. Capitalized servicing rights are then amortized in proportion to and over the period of estimated net servicing income. Impairment of servicing rights is assessed using the present value of estimated future cash flows.

 

The aggregate fair value of loan servicing rights approximates its carrying value. A valuation model employed by an independent third party calculates the present value of future cash flows and is used to estimate fair value at the date of sale and on a quarterly basis for impairment analysis purposes. Management periodically compares the valuation model inputs and results to published industry data in order to validate the model results and assumptions. Key assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the loan servicing rights include the discount rate and prepayment speed assumptions. For purposes of impairment, risk characteristics such as interest rate, loan type, term and investor type are used to stratify the loan servicing rights. Impairment is recognized through a valuation allowance to the extent that fair value is less than the carrying amount. Changes in the valuation allowance are reported in net gain on sales of loans in the consolidated statements of income.

 

The unpaid principal balance of SBA loans serviced for others was $45.1 million, $13.6 million and $10.7 million at June 30, 2017, September 30, 2016 and June 30, 2016, respectively. Contractually specified late fees and ancillary fees earned on SBA loans were $1,000 and $45,000 for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2017, respectively. Contractually specified late fees and ancillary fees earned on SBA loans were $35,000 and $62,000 for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2016, respectively. Net servicing costs (contractually specified servicing fees offset by direct servicing expenses) related to SBA loans of $41,000 and $110,000 for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2017, respectively, and $34,000 and $69,000 for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2016, respectively, are included in other noninterest income in the consolidated statements of income.

 

An analysis of SBA loan servicing rights for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 are as follows:

On October 15, 2014, the Bank entered into an agreement to participate in the rehabilitation of a certified historic structure located in Louisville, Kentucky with a regional commercial developer. As part of the agreement, the Bank committed to invest $4.2 million into a limited liability company organized in the state of Kentucky by the commercial developer, for which it received a 99% equity interest in the entity and will receive an allocation of 99% of the operating profit and losses and any historic tax credits generated by the entity. The tax credits initially expected to be allocated to the Bank include federal rehabilitation investment credits totaled $4.7 million available under Internal Revenue Code Section 47. Subsequently, during the quarter ended March 31, 2017, the estimate of tax credits increased to $5.0 million and the Company’s investment in equity increased to $4.5 million, or 90% of the anticipated credits to be received.

 

The Bank’s investment in the historic tax credit entity is accounted for using the equity method of accounting. In conjunction with receipts of certificates of occupancy for the project and estimates of historic tax credits to be received, the Company recognized losses in noninterest income of $4.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and $226,000 and $4.3 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The Company recorded historic tax credits in income tax (benefit) expense of $4.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 and $249,000 and $4.8 million in the nine months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

 

At June 30, 2017, there were no unfunded capital contribution commitments. At September 30, 2016, the Bank’s remaining unfunded capital contribution commitment of $118,000 was included in other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

8.Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements, provides the framework for measuring fair value. That framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under FASB ASC Topic 820 are described as follows:

 

Level 1:Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices, unadjusted, for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. A quoted market price in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of fair value and shall be used to measure fair value whenever available.

 

Level 2:Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted market prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or inputs that are derived principally from or can be corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

 

Level 3:Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using discounted cash flow methodologies, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

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 carried at fair value or the lower of cost or fair value. The tables below present the balances of financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring and nonrecurring basis as of June 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016. The Company had no liabilities measured at fair value as of June 30, 2017 or September 30, 2016.

Fair value is based upon quoted market prices where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based on internally developed models or obtained from third parties that primarily use, as inputs, observable market-based parameters or a matrix pricing model that employs the Bond Market Association’s standard calculations for cash flow and price/yield analysis and observable market-based parameters. Valuation adjustments may be made to ensure that financial instruments are recorded at fair value, or at the lower of cost or fair value. These adjustments may include unobservable parameters. Any such valuation adjustments have been applied consistently over time.

The Company’s valuation methodologies may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. While management believes the Company’s valuation methodologies are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date. There have been no changes in the valuation techniques and related inputs used for assets measured at fair value on a recurring and nonrecurring basis during the nine month period ended June 30, 2017.

 

Trading Account Securities and Securities Available for Sale. Securities classified as trading and available for sale are reported at fair value on a recurring basis.  These securities are classified as Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy where quoted market prices from reputable third-party brokers are available in an active market. If quoted market prices are not available, the Company obtains fair value measurements from an independent pricing service.  These securities are reported using Level 2 inputs and the fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, U.S. government and agency yield curves, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information, and the security’s terms and conditions, among other factors. For securities where quoted market prices, market prices of similar securities or prices from an independent third party pricing service are not available, fair values are calculated using discounted cash flows or other market indicators and are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Changes in fair value of trading account securities are reported in noninterest income. Changes in fair value of securities available for sale are recorded in other comprehensive income, net of income tax effect.

 

Impaired Loans. Impaired loans are reviewed and evaluated on at least a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly. The fair value of impaired loans is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

 

Impaired loans are measured at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan's effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is a collateral-dependent loan. Collateral may be real estate and/or business assets, including equipment, inventory and/or accounts receivable, and its fair value is generally determined based on real estate appraisals or other independent evaluations by qualified professionals. The appraisals are generally then discounted by management in order to reflect management’s estimate of the fair value of the collateral given the current market conditions and the condition of the collateral. At June 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of impaired loans included discounts from appraised value ranging from 0.0% to 15.0% and estimated costs to sell the collateral ranging from 0.0% to 6.0%. During the three month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company recognized provisions for loan losses of $139,000 and $3,000, respectively, for impaired loans. During the nine month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company recognized provisions for loan losses of $181,000 and $3,000, respectively, for impaired loans.

Loans Held for Sale. Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or market value. The portfolio is comprised of residential mortgage loans and SBA loans. The fair value of loans held for sale is based on specific prices of the underlying contracts for sale to investors, and is classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

 

Loan Servicing Rights. Loan servicing rights represent the value associated with servicing SBA loans that have been sold. The fair value of loan servicing rights is determined on a quarterly basis by an independent third party valuation model using market-based discount rate and prepayment assumptions, and is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. At June 30, 2017, the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of loan servicing rights included discount rates ranging from 8.41% to 12.93% with a weighted average of 11.41% and prepayment speed assumptions ranging from 3.34% to 8.78% with a weighted average rate of 6.81%. At September 30, 2016, the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of loan servicing rights included discount rates ranging from 8.54% to 14.46% with a weighted average of 12.27% and prepayment speed assumptions ranging from 4.25% to 8.71% with a weighted average rate of 6.75%. Impairment of the loan servicing rights is recognized on a quarterly basis through a valuation allowance to the extent that fair value is less than the carrying amount. The Company did not recognize any impairment charges on loan servicing rights for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016.

 

Other Real Estate Owned. Other real estate owned held for sale is reviewed and evaluated on at least a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly. The fair value of other real estate owned is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

 

Other real estate owned is reported at fair value less estimated costs to dispose of the property. The fair values are determined by real estate appraisals, which are then generally discounted by management in order to reflect management’s estimate of the fair value of the property given current market conditions and the condition of the property. At June 30, 2017, the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of other real estate owned included a discount from appraised value (including estimated costs to sell the property) ranging from 16.1% to 34.2% with a weighted average of 28.6%. At September 30, 2016, the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of other real estate owned included a discount from appraised value (including estimated costs to sell the property) ranging from 15.0% to 34.2% with a weighted average of 24.6%. The Company recognized charges of $3,000 and $13,000 to write-down other real estate owned to fair value for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2017, respectively. The Company recognized charges of $21,000 and $100,000 to write-down other real estate owned to fair value for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2016, respectively.

 

Transfers Between Categories. There were no transfers into or out of Level 3 financial assets for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016.

GAAP requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments for interim reporting periods, whether or not recognized in the consolidated balance sheet. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the instruments. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of the Company. The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments are as follows.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For cash and short-term instruments, including cash and due from banks and interest-bearing deposits with banks, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

 

Investment Securities and Interest-Bearing Time Deposits

 

For debt securities and interest-bearing time deposits, the Company obtains fair value measurements from an independent pricing service and the fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, U.S. government and agency yield curves, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information, and the security’s terms and conditions, among other factors.

 

Loans

 

The fair value of loans, excluding loans held for sale, is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and terms. Impaired loans are valued at the lower of their carrying value or fair value, as previously described. The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable approximates its fair value.

 

The fair value of loans held for sale is estimated based on specific prices of underlying contracts for sales to investors, as previously described.

 

FRB and FHLB Stock

 

It is not practical to determine the fair value of FRB and FHLB stock due to restrictions placed on transferability.

 

Loan Servicing Rights

 

The fair value of loan serving rights is determined by a valuation model employed by an independent third party using market-based discount rate and prepayment assumptions, as previously described.

 

Deposits

 

The fair value of demand and savings deposits and other transaction accounts is the amount payable on demand at the balance sheet date. The fair value of fixed-maturity time deposits is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the rates currently offered for deposits with similar remaining maturities. The carrying amount of accrued interest payable approximates its fair value.

 

Borrowed Funds

 

Borrowed funds include borrowings from the FHLB and repurchase agreements. Fair value for FHLB advances and long-term repurchase agreements is estimated by discounting the future cash flows at current interest rates for FHLB advances of similar maturities. For short-term repurchase agreements and FHLB line of credit borrowings, the carrying value is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

9.Employee Stock Ownership Plan

 

On October 6, 2008, the Company established a leveraged employee stock ownership plan (“ESOP”) covering substantially all employees. The ESOP trust acquired 203,363 shares of Company common stock at a cost of $10.00 per share financed by a term loan with the Company. The employer loan and the related interest income are not recognized in the consolidated financial statements because the debt is serviced from Company contributions. Dividends payable on allocated shares are charged to retained earnings and are satisfied by the allocation of cash dividends to participant accounts or by utilizing the dividends as additional debt service on the ESOP loan. Dividends payable on unallocated shares are not considered dividends for financial reporting purposes. Shares held by the ESOP trust are allocated to participant accounts based on the ratio of the current year principal and interest payments to the total of the current year and future years’ principal and interest to be paid on the employer loan. Compensation expense is recognized based on the average fair value of shares released for allocation to participant accounts during the year with a corresponding credit to stockholders’ equity. Compensation expense recognized for the nine month period ended June 30, 2016 amounted to $628,000. The ESOP loan was repaid in full during the quarter ended December 31, 2015 and all shares have been allocated to participants in the plan therefore no compensation expense was recognized for the three month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 and the nine month period ended June 30, 2017. The ESOP trust held 161,987 and 172,870 shares of Company common stock at June 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, respectively.

 

10.Stock Based Compensation Plans

 

The Company maintains two equity incentive plans under which stock options and restricted stock have or can be granted, the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (“2010 Plan”) approved by the Company’s shareholders in February 2010 and the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (“2016 Plan”) approved by the Company’s shareholders in February 2016. At June 30, 2017, all available awards had been granted under the 2010 Plan. The aggregate number of shares of the Company’s common stock available for issuance under the 2016 Plan may not exceed 88,000 shares, consisting of 66,000 stock options and 22,000 shares of restricted stock. At June 30, 2017, 19,440 shares of the Company’s common stock were available for issuance under the 2016 Plan, consisting of 14,705 stock options and 4,735 shares of restricted stock.

Stock Options

 

Under the plans, the Company may grant both non-statutory and incentive stock options that may not have a term exceeding ten years. In the case of incentive stock options, the aggregate fair value (determined at the time the incentive stock options are granted) which are first exercisable during any calendar year shall not exceed $100,000. Exercise prices generally may not be less than the fair market value of the underlying stock at the date of the grant. The terms of the plans also include provisions whereby all unearned options and restricted shares become immediately exercisable and fully vested upon a change in control.

 

Stock options granted generally vest ratably over five years and are exercisable in whole or in part for a period up to ten years from the date of the grant. Compensation expense is measured based on the fair market value of the options at the grant date and is recognized ratably over the period during which the shares are earned (the vesting period). The fair market value of stock options granted is estimated at the date of grant using a binomial option pricing model. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The expected term of options granted represents the period of time that options are expected to be outstanding. The risk free rate for the expected life of the options is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the grant date.

 

The fair value of options granted during the nine month period ended June 30, 2017 was determined using the following assumptions:

 

Expected dividend yield   1.75%
Risk-free interest rate   2.13%
Expected volatility   14.6%
Expected life of options   7.5 years 
Weighted average fair value at grant date  $6.13

On August 11, 2011, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) with the United States Department of the Treasury, pursuant to which the Company issued 17,120 shares of the its Senior Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A (“Series A Preferred Stock”), having a liquidation amount per share equal to $1,000, for a total purchase price of $17,120,000. The Purchase Agreement was entered into, and the Series A Preferred Stock was issued, pursuant to the Small Business Lending Fund (“SBLF”) program, a $30 billion fund established under the Small Business Jobs Act of 2010, that encouraged lending to small businesses by providing Tier 1 capital to qualified community banks with assets of less than $10 billion.

Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock were entitled to receive non-cumulative dividends, payable quarterly, on each January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1, beginning October 1, 2011. The dividend rate in effect during the last fiscal year in which the Preferred Stock was outstanding was 1.0%.

 

The Series A Preferred Stock was redeemed by the Company for the full liquidation amount of $17,120,000 on February 11, 2016.

 

12.Regulatory Capital

 

The Company and Bank are 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 consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Company’s and Bank’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company’s and Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

 

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total, Tier 1 and common equity Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and Tier 1 capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). The final rules implementing the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision’s capital guidelines for U.S. banks (“Basel III rules”) became effective for the Company and the Bank on January 1, 2015, with full compliance with all of the requirements being phased in over a multi-year schedule through 2019. Under the Basel III rules, the Bank must hold a conservation buffer above the adequately capitalized risk-based capital ratios disclosed in the table below. The capital conservation buffer is being phased in from 0.0% for 2015 to 2.5% by 2019. The capital conservation buffer is 1.25% for 2017 and 0.625% for 2016. The Company and Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject as of June 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016.

 

As of June 30, 2017, the most recent notification from the Federal Reserve Bank 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 I risk-based, common equity Tier 1 risk-based and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the table below. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s category.

13.Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The following are summaries of recently issued or adopted accounting pronouncements that impact the accounting and reporting practices of the Company:

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326). The update replaces the incurred loss methodology for recognizing credit losses under current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. Under the new guidance, an entity will measure all expected credit losses for financial instruments held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The expected loss model will apply to loans and leases, unfunded lending commitments, held-to-maturity debt securities and other debt instruments measured at amortized cost. The impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities will require the recognition of credit losses through a valuation allowance when fair value is less than amortized cost, regardless of whether the impairment is considered to be other-than-temporary. For the Company, the amendments in the update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted as of fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently assessing the impact the guidance will have upon adoption, but management expects to recognize a one-time cumulative-effect adjustment to the allowance for loan losses as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the new standard is effective.

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) – Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The update simplifies the measurement of goodwill impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Instead, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. However, the loss should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. The amendments in the update are effective for the Company for its annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim and annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The adoption of this update is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-08, Receivables – Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20) – Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. The update shortens the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium. Specifically, the update requires the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. The update does not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount; the discount continues to be amortized to maturity. The amendments in the update are effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. An entity should apply the amendments in this update on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. Additionally, in the period of adoption, an entity should provide disclosures about a change in accounting principle. The Company is currently assessing the impact the guidance will have upon adoption, but the adoption of this update is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

 

14.Subsequent Event – Pending Acquisition

 

On July 21, 2017, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Dearmin Bancorp, Inc. (“Dearmin”) and its majority owned subsidiary, The First National Bank of Odon (“FNBO”) pursuant to which FNBO will be merged into the Bank. The all-cash transaction is valued at $10.6 million, subject to possible adjustment. The closing of the transaction is subject to certain customary conditions, including shareholder and regulatory approval. Closing is expected to occur in the fourth calendar quarter of 2017. As of June 30, 2017, FNBO had $99.2 million of assets, including net loans of $35.2 million and securities available for sale of $47.5 million.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Trading Account Securities. Trading account securities decreased $3.5 million, from $9.3 million at September 30, 2016 to $5.8 million at June 30, 2017. Trading account securities are comprised of investment grade municipal bonds and the portfolio is managed by an investment advisory firm registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Securities Available for Sale. Securities available for sale increased $3.5 million, from $174.5 million at September 30, 2016 to $178.0 million at June 30, 2017, due primarily to purchases of $26.4 million, which slightly offset decreases in net unrealized gains/losses on securities available for sale of $2.3 million, sales of $4.3 million, calls and maturities of $2.8 million and principal repayments of $13.0 million.

 

Securities Held to Maturity. Investment securities held to maturity decreased $211,000, from $3.2 million at September 30, 2016 to $3.0 million at June 30, 2017. There were no purchases of securities held to maturity, and partial calls and principal repayments on mortgage-backed securities and municipal obligations totaled $211,000 during the nine-month period ended June 30, 2017.

 

Deposits. Total deposits increased $94.4 million, from $579.5 million at September 30, 2016 to $673.9 million at June 30, 2017, due primarily to increases in interest-bearing deposit accounts and non-interest bearing demand deposit accounts of $78.7 million and $15.7 million, respectively. The increase interest-bearing deposit accounts is due primarily to increases in cash management accounts and brokered certificates of deposit of $25.1 million and $31.4 million, respectively, partially offset by a decrease in certificates of deposit of $6.0 million.

 

Borrowings. Borrowings from the FHLB decreased $21.6 million, from $121.6 million at September 30, 2016 to $100.0 million at June 30, 2017 due to a reduction in the Bank’s line of credit.

 

Stockholders’ Equity. Stockholders’ equity increased $4.7 million, from $86.6 million at September 30, 2016 to $91.3 million at June 30, 2017. The increase in stockholders’ equity is primarily due to retained net income of $6.0 million which was partially offset by a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income of $1.5 million due a reduction in the unrealized gain on securities available for sale.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2017 and 2016

 

Overview. The Company reported net income and net income available to common shareholders of $2.4 million, or $1.04 per diluted common share, for the three month period ended June 30, 2017 compared to net income and net income available to common shareholders of $2.2 million, or $0.97 per diluted common share, for the three month period ended June 30, 2016. The annualized return on average assets, average equity and average common stockholders’ equity were 1.14%, 11.01% and 11.01%, respectively, for the three month period ended June 30, 2017. The annualized return on average assets, average equity and average common stockholders’ equity were 1.15%, 10.87% and 10.87%, respectively, for the three month period ended June 30, 2016.

 

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $1.2 million, or 19.4%, for the three month period ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016. Average interest-earning assets increased $96.8 million and average interest-bearing liabilities increased $59.9 million when comparing the two periods. The tax-equivalent net interest margin was 3.97% for 2017 compared to 3.78% for 2016.

 

Total interest income increased $1.2 million, or 16.7%, when comparing the two periods due primarily to an increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets of $96.8 million, from $703.5 million for 2016 to $800.3 million for 2017, and an increase in the average tax equivalent yield on interest-earning assets from 4.41% for 2016 to 4.54% for 2017. The majority of the increase in average interest-earning assets was attributable to loans which increased $91.4 million compared to 2016.

 

Total interest expense increased $17,000, or 1.5%, due to an increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities of $59.9 million, from $603.4 million for 2016 to $663.3 million for 2017, which more than offset a decrease in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities from 0.74% for 2016 to 0.68% for 2017.

Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses was $321,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 2017 compared to $303,000, for the same period in 2016. The increase in the provision for loans losses for 2017 as compared to the prior period was due primarily to growth in the loan portfolio.

 

The Company recognized net charge-offs of $44,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 2017 compared to net charge-offs of $85,000 for the same period in 2016.

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income increased $4.7 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016. The increase was due primarily to a $4.3 million impairment loss on a historic tax credit investment during the 2016 quarter that was not repeated in 2017 as well as an increase in net gain on sales of loans guaranteed by the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) of $515,000. The aforementioned increases in noninterest income were offset by decreases in real estate lease income and net gain on trading account securities of $170,000 and $101,000, respectively. The decrease in real estate lease income was due to the sale of the Company’s commercial real estate development in September 2016.

 

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expenses increased $715,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016 primarily due to an increase in compensation and benefits of $622,000, which more than offset a decrease in data processing of $113,000. The increase in compensation and benefits was attributable to the addition of new employees to support the Company’s SBA lending activities as well as normal salary and benefits increases. The decrease in data processing was primarily due to new contracts signed in 2017, which resulted in lower monthly processing fees.

 

Income Tax Expense. The Company recognized income tax expense of $586,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, for an effective tax rate of 19.3% as compared to income tax benefit of $4.4 million for the same period in 2016. The tax benefit for the 2016 quarter was due to the recognition of $4.8 million in historic tax credits during the period.

Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended June 30, 2017 and 2016

 

Overview. The Company reported net income and net income available to common shareholders of $7.0 million, or $2.98 per diluted common share, for the nine month period ended June 30, 2017 compared to net income of $5.1 million and net income available to common shareholders of $5.0 million, or $2.19 per diluted common share, for the nine month period ended June 30, 2016. The annualized return on average assets, average equity and average common stockholders’ equity were 1.12%, 10.70% and 10.70%, respectively, for the nine month period ended June 30, 2017. The annualized return on average assets, average equity and average common stockholders’ equity were 0.90%, 7.69% and 8.49%, respectively, for the nine month period ended June 30, 2016.

 

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $3.1 million, or 16.8%, for the nine month period ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016. Average interest-earning assets increased $83.4 million and average interest-bearing liabilities increased $59.8 million when comparing the two periods. The tax-equivalent net interest margin was 3.95% for 2017 compared to 3.78% for 2016.

 

Total interest income increased $3.2 million, or 14.7%, when comparing the two periods due primarily to an increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets of $83.4 million, from $688.8 million for 2016 to $772.2 million for 2017, and an increase in the average tax equivalent yield on interest-earning assets from 4.38% for 2016 to 4.50% for 2017. The average balance of loans increased $82.3 million for the nine month period ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016.

 

Total interest expense increased $75,000, or 2.4%, due to an increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities of $59.8 million, from $583.5 million for 2016 to $643.3 million for 2017, which more than offset a decrease in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities from 0.71% for 2016 to 0.66% for 2017.

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income increased $5.7 million for the nine month period ended June 30, 2017 as compared to 2016. The increase was due primarily to a $4.3 million impairment loss on a historic tax credit investment during the 2016 period as compared to $226,000 in 2017. Additionally, the Company recognized net gains on sales of SBA loans of $2.7 million in 2017 compared to $513,000 in 2016. The increases in noninterest income described above were partially offset by decreases in the net gain on trading account securities and real estate lease income of $600,000 and $496,000, respectively. The decrease in net gain on trading account securities was due to volatility in the municipal bond market during the nine months ended June 30, 2017. The decrease in real estate lease income was due to the sale of the Company’s commercial real estate development in September 2016.

 

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expenses increased $1.2 million for the nine month period ended June 30, 2017 as compared to 2016. The increase was due primarily to increases in compensation and benefits of $1.5 million, which more than offset decreases in net (gain) loss on other real estate owned and data processing fees of $182,000 and $178,000, respectively. The increase in compensation and benefits expense was attributable to the addition of new employees to support the Company’s SBA lending activities as well as normal salary and benefits increases. The decrease in net (gain) loss on other real estate owned was due primarily to the recognition of previously deferred gains for properties sold and financed by the Company. The decrease in data processing was primarily due to new contracts signed in 2017, which resulted in a decrease in monthly processing fees.

 

Income Tax Expense. The Company recognized income tax expense of $1.7 million for the nine month period ended June 30, 2017, for an effective tax rate of 19.4%, as compared to income tax benefit of $3.5 million for the same period in 2016. The tax benefit for the 2016 period was due to the recognition of $4.8 million in historic tax credits during the period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Liquidity Management. Liquidity is the ability to meet current and future financial obligations of a short-term nature. The Bank’s primary sources of funds are customer deposits, proceeds from loan repayments, maturing securities and FHLB borrowings. While loan repayments and maturities are a predictable source of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by market interest rates, general economic conditions and competition. At June 30, 2017, the Bank had cash and cash equivalents of $41.1 million, trading account securities with a fair value of $5.8 million and securities available-for-sale with a fair value of $178.0 million. If the Bank requires funds beyond its ability to generate them internally, it has additional borrowing capacity with the FHLB, borrowing capacity on a federal funds purchased line of credit facility with another financial institution and additional collateral eligible for repurchase agreements.

 

The Bank’s primary investing activity is the origination of commercial real estate and one-to-four family mortgage loans and, to a lesser extent, consumer, multi-family, commercial business and residential and commercial real estate construction loans. The Bank also invests in U.S. government agency and sponsored enterprises securities, mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations issued by U.S. government agencies and sponsored enterprises, and municipal bonds.

 

The Bank must maintain an adequate level of liquidity to ensure the availability of sufficient funds to support loan growth and deposit withdrawals, to satisfy financial commitments and to take advantage of investment opportunities. Historically, the Bank has been able to retain a significant amount of its deposits as they mature. If these maturing deposits do not remain with the Bank, we will be required to seek other sources of funds, including other certificates of deposit and borrowings.

 

The Company is a separate legal entity from the Bank and must provide for its own liquidity to pay its operating expenses and other financial obligations, to pay any dividends and to repurchase any of its outstanding common stock. The Company’s primary source of income is dividends received from the Bank and the Captive. The amount of dividends that the Bank may declare and pay to the Company in any calendar year cannot exceed net income for that year to date plus retained net income (as defined) for the preceding two calendar years. At June 30, 2017, the Company (unconsolidated basis) had liquid assets of $1.6 million.

 

Capital Management. The Bank is required to maintain specific amounts of capital pursuant to regulatory requirements. As of June 30, 2017, the Bank was in compliance with all regulatory capital requirements that were effective as of such date, with Tier 1 capital (to average total assets), common equity Tier 1 capital (to risk-weighted assets), Tier 1 capital (to risk-weighted assets) and total capital (to risk-weighted assets) ratios of 8.77%, 11.01%, 11.01% and 12.19%, respectively. The regulatory requirements at that date were 5.0%, 6.5%, 8.0% and 10.0%, respectively, in order to be categorized as “well capitalized” under applicable regulatory guidelines. At June 30, 2017, the Bank was considered “well-capitalized” under applicable regulatory guidelines.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

In the normal course of operations, the Company engages in a variety of financial transactions that, in accordance with GAAP, are not recorded on the Company's financial statements. These transactions involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, interest rate and liquidity risk. Such transactions are primarily used to manage customers’ requests for funding and take the form of loan commitments and letters of credit. A further presentation of the Company’s off-balance sheet arrangements is presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2016.

 

For the nine months ended June 30, 2017, the Company did not engage in any off-balance sheet transactions reasonably likely to have a material effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES

ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Qualitative Aspects of Market Risk. Market risk is the risk that the estimated fair value of our assets, liabilities, and derivative financial instruments will decline as a result of changes in interest rates or financial market volatility, or that our net income will be significantly reduced by interest rate changes.

 

The Company’s principal financial objective is to achieve long-term profitability while reducing its exposure to fluctuating market interest rates by operating within acceptable limits established for interest rate risk and maintaining adequate levels of funding and liquidity. The Company has sought to reduce the exposure of its earnings to changes in market interest rates by attempting to manage the mismatch between asset and liability maturities and interest rates. In order to reduce the exposure to interest rate fluctuations, the Company has developed strategies to manage its liquidity, shorten its effective maturities of certain interest-earning assets and decrease the interest rate sensitivity of its asset base. Management has sought to decrease the average maturity of its assets by emphasizing the origination of short-term residential mortgage, commercial mortgage and commercial business loans, all of which are retained by the Company for its portfolio. The Company relies on retail deposits as its primary source of funds. Management believes the primary use of retail deposits, complimented with a modest allocation of brokered certificates of deposit and FHLB borrowings, reduce the effects of interest rate fluctuations because they generally represent a more stable source of funds.

 

Quantitative Aspects of Market Risk. Potential cash flows, sales, or replacement value of many of our assets and liabilities, especially those that earn or pay interest, are sensitive to changes in the general level of interest rates. This interest rate risk arises primarily from our normal business activities of gathering deposits and extending loans. Many factors affect our exposure to changes in interest rates, such as general economic and financial conditions, customer preferences, historical pricing relationships, and re-pricing characteristics of financial instruments. Our earnings can also be affected by the monetary and fiscal policies of the U.S. Government and its agencies, particularly the Federal Reserve Board. Furthermore, the Company does not engage in hedging activities or purchase high-risk derivative instruments and also is not subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk or commodity price risk.

 

An element in our ongoing process is to measure and monitor interest rate risk using a Net Interest Income at Risk simulation to model the interest rate sensitivity of the balance sheet and to quantify the impact of changing interest rates on the Company. The model quantifies the effects of various possible interest rate scenarios on projected net interest income over a one-year horizon. The model assumes a semi-static balance sheet and measures the impact on net interest income relative to a base case scenario of hypothetical changes in interest rates over twelve months and provides no effect given to any steps that management might take to counter the effect of the interest rate movements. The scenarios include prepayment assumptions, changes in the level of interest rates, the shape of the yield curve, and spreads between market interest rates in order to capture the impact from re-pricing, yield curve, option, and basis risks.

Results of our simulation modeling, which assumes an immediate and sustained parallel shift in market interest rates, project that the Company’s net interest income could change as follows over a one-year horizon, relative to our base case scenario.

(100)bp   (695)   (2.38)   (668)   (2.61)

 

At June 30, 2017, our simulated exposure to an increase in interest rates shows that an immediate and sustained increase in rates of 1.00% will increase our net interest income by $312,000, or 1.07%, over a one year horizon compared to a flat interest rate scenario. Furthermore, rate increases of 2.00% and 3.00% would cause net interest income to increase by 2.14% and 3.04%, respectively. Conversely, an immediate and sustained decrease in rates of 1.00% will decrease our net interest income by $695,000, or 2.38%, over a one year horizon compared to a flat interest rate scenario.

Based on their evaluation, the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective for the purpose of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act with the SEC (1) is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s Rules and Forms and (2) is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

During the quarter ended June 30, 2017, there were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
