Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

June 30, 2013

 

Note 1: Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

Hamilton Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on June 7, 2012 to serve as the stock holding company for Hamilton Bank (the “Bank”), a federally chartered savings bank. On October 10, 2012, in accordance with a Plan of Conversion adopted by its Board of Directors and approved by its members, the Bank converted from a mutual savings bank to a stock savings bank and became the wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The conversion was accomplished through the sale and issuance of 3,703,000 shares of common stock at a price of $10.00 per share, through which the Company received proceeds of approximately $35,580,000, net of offering expenses of approximately $1,450,000. In connection with the conversion, the Bank’s Board of Directors adopted an employee stock ownership plan (the “ESOP”) which subscribed for 8.0% of shares sold in the offering, or 296,240 shares. Accordingly, the reported results for the three months ended June 30, 2013 relate to the consolidated holding company and the results for the three months ended June 30, 2012 relate solely to the operations of the Bank.

In accordance with Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the “OCC”) regulations, upon the completion of the conversion, the Bank restricted retained earnings by establishing a liquidation account. The liquidation account will be maintained for the benefit of eligible account holders who continue to maintain their accounts at the Bank after conversion. The liquidation account will be reduced annually to the extent that eligible account holders have reduced their qualifying deposits. Subsequent increases will not restore an eligible account holder’s interest in the liquidation account. In the event of a complete liquidation of the Bank, and only in such event, each account holder will be entitled to receive a distribution from the liquidation account in an amount proportionate to the adjusted qualifying account balances then held. The Bank may not pay dividends if those dividends would reduce equity capital below the required liquidation account amount.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and with instructions for Form 10–Q and Regulation S–X as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the preceding unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial condition and results of operations for the periods presented. We derived the balances as of March 31, 2013 from audited financial statements. Operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2014, or any other period. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2013. Certain amounts from prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.

Nature of Operations

The Bank provides a full range of banking services to individuals and businesses through its main office and five branches in the Baltimore metropolitan area. Its primary deposit products are certificates of deposit and demand, savings, NOW, and money market accounts. Its primary lending products are real estate mortgages and commercial business loans

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the parent company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Hamilton Bank. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

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 date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Subsequent Events

Management has evaluated events and transactions subsequent to June 30, 2013 through August 14, 2013, the date these financial statements were issued. The Bank closed its Belmar branch in Baltimore City on August 2, 2013. Management felt it made sense to close the Belmar branch due to its close proximity to one of the Bank’s other four branch locations. The Bank owns both the land and building and has the property listed for sale. The property is expected to be sold at a small gain based upon the current book value of the property. There were no other significant subsequent events that would affect the presentation of the financial statements.

 

Note 2: New Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

ASU 2011-11, “Balance Sheet (Topic 210) – Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities.” ASU 2011-11 amends Topic 210, “Balance Sheet,” to require an entity to disclose both gross and net information about financial instruments, such as sales and repurchase agreements and reverse sale and repurchase agreements and securities borrowing/lending arrangements, and derivative instruments that are eligible for offset in the statement of financial position and/or subject to a master netting arrangement or similar agreement. ASU 2011-11 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning on April 1, 2013, and is not expected to have a significant impact on our financial statements.

ASU 2012-02, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) – Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment. ASU 2012-02 gives entities the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, an entity determines it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired, then the entity must perform the quantitative impairment test. If, under the quantitative impairment test, the carrying amount of the intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an entity should recognize an impairment loss in the amount of that excess. Permitting an entity to assess qualitative factors when testing indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment results in guidance that is similar to the goodwill impairment testing guidance in ASU 2011-08. ASU 2012-02 became effective on January 1, 2013, and did not have a significant impact on our financial statements.

ASU 2012-06, Business Combinations (Topic 805) – Subsequent Accounting for an Indemnification Asset Recognized at the Acquisition Date as a Result of a Government-Assisted Acquisition of a Financial Institution (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). ASU 2012-06 clarifies the applicable guidance for subsequently measuring an indemnification asset recognized as a result of a government-assisted acquisition of a financial institution. Under ASU 2012-06, when a reporting entity recognizes an indemnification asset as a result of a government-assisted acquisition of a financial institution and, subsequently, a change in the cash flows expected to be collected on the indemnification asset occurs (as a result of a change in cash flows expected to be collected on the assets subject to indemnification), the reporting entity should subsequently account for the change in the measurement of the indemnification asset on the same basis as the change in the assets subject to indemnification. Any amortization of changes in value should be limited to the

contractual term of the indemnification agreement (that is, the lesser of the term of the indemnification agreement and the remaining life of the indemnified assets). ASU 2012-06 became effective on January 1, 2013, and did not have a significant impact on our financial statements.

ASU 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) – Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive income. ASU 2013-02 amends recent guidance related to the reporting of comprehensive income to enhance the reporting of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income. ASU 2013-02 became effective on January 1, 2013, and did not have a significant impact on our financial statements.

 

Note 3: Earnings per Share

When presented, basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity. Because the mutual to stock conversion was not completed until October 10, 2012, per share earnings data is not meaningful for prior comparative periods and therefore is not presented.

Both the basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended June 30, 2013 are summarized below:

Note 4: Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

On December 4, 2009, the Bank acquired a branch office in Pasadena, Maryland from K Bank. The Bank paid premiums of $653,000 and $92,000 for the certificates of deposit and loans that were acquired, respectively. The premiums are being amortized over four years, which is the estimated lives of the certificates and loans. The Bank also purchased $757,432 of premises and equipment, which includes the building, land, and equipment. In addition, the Bank recorded goodwill totaling $2,664,432 and identifiable intangibles (core deposit intangible) totaling $434,000. The goodwill is deductible for tax purposes. We evaluate goodwill and other intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis.

The activity in goodwill and acquired intangible assets related to the branch purchase is as follows:

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

 

Residential lending is generally considered to involve less risk than other forms of lending, although payment experience on these loans is dependent on economic and market conditions in the Bank’s lending area. Construction loan repayments are generally dependent on the related properties or the financial condition of its borrower or guarantor.

Accordingly, repayment of such loans can be more susceptible to adverse conditions in the real estate market and the regional economy.

A substantial portion of the Bank’s loan portfolio is mortgage loans secured by residential and commercial real estate properties located in the Baltimore metropolitan area. Loans are extended only after evaluation of a customer’s creditworthiness and other relevant factors on a case-by-case basis. The Bank generally does not lend more than 90% of the appraised value of a property and requires private mortgage insurance on residential mortgages with loan-to-value ratios in excess of 80%. In addition, the Bank generally obtains personal guarantees of repayment from borrowers and/or others for construction loans and disburses the proceeds of those and similar loans only as work progresses on the related projects.

The following tables set forth for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 and for the year ended March 31, 2013, the balance of the allowance for loan losses by portfolio segment, disaggregated by impairment methodology. The loan portfolio is segregated by amounts evaluated for impairment collectively and individually. The allowance for loan losses allocated to each portfolio segment is not necessarily indicative of future losses in any particular portfolio segment and does not restrict the use of the allowance to absorb losses in other portfolio segments. There were no recoveries during the year ended March 31, 2013.

Credit quality indicators

As part of the ongoing monitoring of the credit quality of the Bank’s loan portfolio, management tracks certain credit quality indicators including trends related to the risk grade of loans, the level of classified loans, net charge offs, nonperforming loans, and the general economic conditions in the Bank’s market.

The Bank utilizes a risk grading matrix to assign a risk grade to each of its loans. A description of the general characteristics of loans characterized as watch list or classified is as follows:

Special Mention

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

Loans that would primarily fall into this notational category could have been previously classified adversely, but the deficiencies have since been corrected. Management should closely monitor recent payment history of the loan and value of the collateral.

Borrowers may exhibit poor liquidity and leverage positions resulting from generally negative cash flow or negative trends in earnings. Access to alternative financing may be limited to finance companies for business borrowers and may be unavailable for commercial real estate borrowers.

Substandard

A substandard loan is inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Substandard loans have a well defined weakness, or weaknesses, that jeopardize the collection or liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. This will be the measurement for determining if a loan is impaired.

Borrowers may exhibit recent or unexpected unprofitable operations, an inadequate debt service coverage ratio, or marginal liquidity and capitalization. These loans require more intense supervision by Bank management.

Foreclosed real estate will be treated as a classifiable asset. Generally, foreclosed real estate will be classified as substandard, except if the property is subject to an agreement of sale or if the asset is generating sufficient income. An appraisal may be performed on the asset to estimate its value. When the property is transferred to foreclosed real estate, a sufficient amount will be charged off against the allowance for loan losses in order to account for the property at its fair value.

Doubtful

A doubtful loan has all the weaknesses inherent as a substandard loan 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. A loan classified as doubtful exhibits loss potential. However, there is still sufficient reason to permit the loan to remain on the books. A doubtful classification could reflect the deterioration of the primary source of repayment and serious doubt exists as to the quality of the secondary source of repayment.

Classified loans also include certain loans that have been modified in troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) where economic concessions have been granted to borrowers who have experienced or are expected to experience financial difficulties. These concessions typically result from the Bank’s loss mitigation activities and could include reductions in the interest rate, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance or other actions. Generally, TDRs are classified as nonperforming at the time of restructure and may only be returned to performing status after considering the borrower’s sustained repayment performance for a reasonable period, generally six months.

The recorded investment of the commercial TDR loan is of June 30, 2013 reflects a partial charge-off of $47,060 recorded during the quarter ended March 31, 2013.

In the normal course of business, the Bank has various outstanding commitments and contingent liabilities that are not reflected in the accompanying financial statements. Loan commitments and lines of credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition to the contract. Mortgage loan commitments generally have fixed interest rates, fixed expiration dates, and may require payment of a fee. Other loan commitments generally have fixed interest rates. Lines of credit generally have variable interest rates. Such lines do not represent future cash requirements because it is unlikely that all customers will draw upon their lines in full at any time.

The Bank’s maximum exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the customer is the contractual amount of the credit commitment. Loan commitments, lines of credit, and letters of credit are made on the same terms, including collateral, as outstanding loans. Management is not aware of any accounting loss to be incurred by funding these loan commitments.

The Bank had the following outstanding commitments and unused lines of credit as of June 30, 2013 and March 31, 2013:

Note 7: Regulatory Capital Ratios

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency has adopted risk-based capital standards for banking organizations. These standards require ratios of capital to assets for minimum capital adequacy and to be classified as well capitalized under prompt corrective action provisions. The capital ratios and minimum capital requirements of the Bank at June 30, 2013 and March 31, 2013 were as follows:

 

     Actual     Minimum
capital requirement
    To be well
capitalized (1)
 
     Amount      Ratio     Amount      Ratio     Amount      Ratio  
     (dollars in thousands)

Total risk-based capital (to risk-weighted assets)

   $ 47,115         26.54   $ 14,204         8.00   $ 17,754         10.00

Tier 1 capital (to risk-weighted assets)

     44,895         25.29     7,102         4.00     10,653         6.00

Tier 1 capital (to adjusted total assets)

     44,895         14.33     12,535         4.00     15,669         5.00

Total risk-based capital (to risk-weighted assets)

   $ 46,956         26.70   $ 14,068         8.00   $ 17,586         10.00

Tier 1 capital (to risk-weighted assets)

     44,885         25.52     7,034         4.00     10,551         6.00

Tier 1 capital (to adjusted total assets)

     44,885         14.13     12,707         4.00     15,884         5.00

 

(1) – Under prompt corrective action provisions

Tier 1 capital consists of total shareholders’ equity less goodwill and intangible assets. Total capital includes a limited amount of the allowance for loan losses and a portion of any unrealized gain on equity securities. In calculating risk-weighted assets, specified risk percentages are applied to each category of asset and off-balance-sheet items.

Failure to meet the capital requirements could affect, among other things, the Bank’s ability to accept brokered deposits and may significantly affect the operations of the Bank.

In its regulatory report filed as of June 30, 2013, the Bank exceeded all regulatory capital requirements and was considered “well capitalized” under regulatory guidelines. Management is not aware of any events that would have caused this classification to change. Management has no plans that should change the classification of the capital adequacy.

 

Note 8: Fair Value Measurements

Generally accepted accounting principles define fair value, establish a framework for measuring fair value, and establish a hierarchy for determining fair value measurement. The hierarchy includes three levels and is based upon the valuation techniques used to measure assets and liabilities. The three levels are as follows:

Level 1: Valuation is based on quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;

Level 2: Valuation is determined from quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active or by model-based techniques in which all significant inputs are observable in the market; and

Level 3: Valuation is derived from model-based techniques in which at least one significant input is unobservable and based on the Company’s own estimates about the assumptions that market participants would use to value the asset or liability.

The following is a description of the valuation methods used for instruments measured at fair value as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the applicable valuation method.

Fair value measurements on a recurring basis

Securities available for sale – If quoted prices are available in an active market for identical assets, securities are classified within Level 1 of the hierarchy. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics or discounted cash flows. As of June 30, 2013 and March 31, 2013, the Bank has categorized its investment securities available for sale as follows:

Fair value measurements on a nonrecurring basis

Impaired Loans – The Bank has measured impairment generally based on the fair value of the loan’s collateral. Fair value is generally determined based upon independent appraisals of the properties, or discounted cash flows based upon the expected proceeds. These assets are included as Level 3 fair values. As of June 30, 2013 and March 31, 2013, the fair values consist of loan balances of $12,791,810 and $13,604,446 that have been written down by $591,309 and $508,585, respectively, as a result of specific loan loss allowances.

Foreclosed real estate – The Bank’s foreclosed real estate is measured at fair value less estimated cost to sell. As of June 30, 2013 and March 31, 2013, the fair value of foreclosed real estate was estimated to be $755,659. Fair value was determined based on offers and/or appraisals. Cost to sell the assets was based on standard market factors. The Company has categorized its foreclosed assets as Level 3.

General

Hamilton Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) is a Maryland corporation incorporated on June 7, 2012 by Hamilton Bank (the “Bank”) to be its holding company following the Bank’s conversion from the mutual to the stock form of organization (the “Conversion”). The Conversion was completed on October 10, 2012. On that same date, the Company completed its public stock offering and issued 3,703,000 shares of its common stock for aggregate proceeds of $37,030,000, and net proceeds of $35,640,000. The Company’s business is the ownership of the outstanding capital stock of the Bank. The Company does not own or lease any property but instead uses the premises, equipment and other property of the Bank.

Founded in 1915, the Bank is a community-oriented financial institution, dedicated to serving the financial service needs of customers and businesses within its geographic area, which consists of Baltimore City, Baltimore County, and Anne Arundel County in Maryland. We offer a variety of deposit products and provide loans secured by real estate located in our market area. Our real estate loans consist primarily of one-to four-family mortgage loans, as well as commercial real estate loans, and home equity loans and lines of credit. We also offer commercial term and line of credit loans and, to a limited extent, consumer loans. We currently operate out of our corporate headquarters in Towson, Maryland and full-service branch offices located in Baltimore City, Cockeysville, Towson and Pasadena, Maryland. The Bank is subject to extensive regulation, examination and supervision by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, its primary federal regulator, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, its deposit insurer. The Company is subject to regulation and supervision by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

The Company and the Bank maintain an Internet website at http://www.hamilton-bank.com. Information on our website should not be considered a part of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Critical Accounting Policies

We consider accounting policies involving significant judgments and assumptions by management that have, or could have, a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets or on income to be critical accounting policies. The following represent our critical accounting policies:

Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is the amount estimated by management as necessary to cover losses inherent in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date. The allowance is established through the provision for

 

21


Table of Contents

loan losses, which is charged to income. Determining the amount of the allowance for loan losses necessarily involves a high degree of judgment. Among the material estimates required to establish the allowance are: loss exposure at default, the amount and timing of future cash flows on impacted loans, value of collateral, and determination of loss factors to be applied to the various elements of the portfolio. All of these estimates are susceptible to significant change. Management reviews the level of the allowance monthly and establishes the provision for loan losses based upon an evaluation of the portfolio, past loss experience, current economic conditions, and other factors related to the collectability of the loan portfolio. Although we believe that we use the best information available to establish the allowance for loan losses, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if economic or other conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the evaluation. In addition, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, as an integral part of its examination process, periodically reviews our allowance for loan losses and may require us to recognize adjustments to the allowance based on its judgments about information available to it at the time of its examination. A large loss could deplete the allowance and require increased provisions to replenish the allowance, which would adversely affect earnings.

Fair Value of Investments. Securities are characterized as available for sale or held to maturity based on management’s ability and intent regarding such investment at acquisition. On an ongoing basis, management must estimate the fair value of its investment securities based on information and assumptions it deems reliable and reasonable, which may be quoted market prices or if quoted market prices are not available, fair values extrapolated from the quoted prices of similar instruments. Based on this information, an assessment must be made as to whether any decline in the fair value of an investment security should be considered an other-than-temporary impairment and recorded in noninterest revenue as a loss on investments. The determination of such impairment is subject to a variety of factors, including management’s judgment and experience.

Goodwill Impairment. Goodwill represents the excess purchase price paid for our Pasadena branch over the fair value of the net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. The Bank is considered the Reporting Unit for purposes of impairment testing. Impairment testing requires that the fair value of the Bank be compared to the carrying amount of the Bank’s net assets, including goodwill. If the fair value of the Bank exceeds the book value, no write-down of recorded goodwill is required. If the fair value of the Bank is less than book value, an expense may be required to write-down the related goodwill to the proper carrying value. We test for impairment of goodwill during February of each year. We estimate the fair value of the Bank utilizing three valuation methods including the Comparable Transactions Approach, the Public Market Peers Approach, and the Discounted Cash Flow Approach.

Based on our impairment testing during February 2013, there was no evidence of impairment of the Bank’s goodwill or intangible assets.

Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2013 and March 31, 2013

Assets. Total assets decreased $6.1 million, or 1.8%, to $325.9 million at June 30, 2013 from $332.0 million at March 31, 2013. The decrease was primarily the result of a $6.7 million decrease in cash and cash equivalents and a $2.5 million decrease in total securities, partially offset by a $1.8 million increase in net loans receivable and a $1.1 million increase in deferred income taxes due to the recent increase in interest rates and its impact on unrealized gains and losses within the investment portfolio.

Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $6.7 million, or 19.7%, to $27.3 million at June 30, 2013 from $34.0 at March 31, 2013. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents is largely due to a $2.6 million decrease in overall deposit balances, as well as a $1.8 million increase in net loans receivable.

Securities. Total securities decreased $2.5 million, or 2.2%, to $113.7 million at June 30, 2013, as U.S. government agency securities decreased $1.5 million and mortgage-backed securities decreased $1.1 million. The decrease in securities is due to the sale of two mortgage backed securities with proceeds of $3.5 million and $96,000 in gains with no losses on the sales. The remaining decrease was caused by $500,000 of securities having matured, $5.2 million in principal repayments and a $2.8 million decrease in the fair value of securities resulting from the recent increase in interest rates. The decreases were partially offset by the purchase of $11.6 million in mortgage backed securities and collaterized mortgage obligations during the quarter ended June 30, 2013.

Table of Contents

Loans. Net loans receivable increased by $1.8 million, or 1.1%, to $160.9 million at June 30, 2013 from $159.1 million at March 31, 2013. The increase in loans receivable for the three month period ended June 30, 2013 was primarily due to an increase of $4.5 million, or 12.4%, in commercial real estate loans and a $1.4 million increase, or 38.7%, in construction loans. These increases were offset by a $2.2 million, or 2.7%, decrease in total residential mortgage loans, a $1.1 million, or 4.2%, decrease in commercial business loan and a $659,000, or 4.8%, decrease in home equity loans and lines of credit. The increase in commercial real estate and construction loans reflects the settlement of several large loans and the Company’s continued focus on originating these types of loans. The decrease in residential mortgage loans was primarily due to normal principal reductions, prepayments, pay offs and the sale of newly originated residential mortgages in the secondary market.

Deposits. Total deposits decreased $2.6 million, or 1.0%, to $257.5 million at June 30, 2013 from $260.1 million at March 31, 2013. The decrease is attributable to our on-going efforts to reduce the Bank’s reliance on certificates of deposit as a funding source. We continued to allow higher costing certificates of deposit to runoff at maturity during the first three months of fiscal 2014, as we focused on increasing the level of core deposits. During the three month period ended June 30, 2013, certificates of deposit decreased $9.0 million, or 4.6%, to $187.0 million, while money market accounts increased $310,000 or 1.1%, to $28.5 million. NOW accounts increased $1.2 million or 13.7%, to $10.1 million, while non-interest bearing deposits increased $4.7 million, or 41.0%, to $16.3 million and statement savings accounts increased $709,000, or 4.7%, to $15.7 million at June 30, 2013 from $15.0 million at March 31, 2013.

Borrowings. We had no borrowings outstanding at June 30, 2013 or March 31, 2013.

Equity. Total equity decreased $1.7 million, or 2.6%, to $65.7 million at June 30, 2013 from $67.4 million at March 31, 2013. The decrease is primarily attributable to a $1.7 million decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income resulting from decreased market value in the investment portfolio due to higher market interest rates. The decrease was slightly offset by net income of $18,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013.

Comparison of Asset Quality at June 30, 2013 and March 31, 2013

Our non-performing assets decreased $967,000 to $4.9 million at June 30, 2013 from $5.9 million at March 31, 2013. Our non-performing loans decreased from $5.1 million at March 31, 2013, to $4.2 million at June 30, 2013. The decline in non-performing loans for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 was a result of $704,000 in nonperforming loans paid in full, $91,000 in non-performing loans that were brought current by customer payments and the charge off of $169,000 in nonperforming loans. The charge-offs consisted of $139,000 associated with two commercial equipment loans to the same borrower and $30,000 for one residential mortgage loan sold through a short sale.

The provision for loan losses totaled $304,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 compared to a provision for loan losses of $58,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 2013. The increased provision was primarily related to charge offs totaling $169,000 and $115,000 in specific reserves established for one commercial business loan.

The allowance for loan and lease losses at June 30, 2013 totaled $2.2 million, or 1.37% of total loans, compared to $2.1 million at March 31, 2013, or 1.28% of total loans. The $159,000 increase in the allowance for loan losses was primarily the result of the $304,000 provision for loan losses, partially offset by the $145,000 in net charge-off of loans for the three months ending June 30, 2013.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 (unaudited)

General. Net income decreased $206,000, or 92.1%, to $18,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $223,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The decrease resulted primarily from a $246,000 increase in the provision for loan losses and a $229,000 increase in noninterest expense, partially offset by a $26,000 increase in net interest income, an $80,000 increase in noninterest revenue and a $163,000 decrease in income taxes.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $26,000, or 1.2%, for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2012. The increase in net interest income primarily resulted from a decrease of $238,000 in interest expense, partially offset by a decrease of $212,000 in interest and dividend income. The decrease in interest income was primarily driven by declining market interest rates and the accelerated amortization of premiums on mortgage-backed securities during the three months ended June 30, 2013. During fiscal 2014, the average cost of deposits (the Bank’s only interest-bearing liabilities), in particular certificates of deposit, declined slower than the average yield earned on our interest-earning assets. As a result, our interest rate spread for the three months ended June 30, 2013 declined 11 basis points to 2.59% when compared to the three month period ended June 30, 2012. Although our interest-earning assets increased by $9.2 million, or 3.1%, our interest income did not increase because more of these assets were in lower yielding interest-earning assets when compared to the period ended June 30, 2012. The decrease in interest income was offset by lower interest expense associated with lower interest bearing deposits and lower cost of funds, which had a positive impact on net interest income.

Interest and Dividend Income. Interest and dividend income decreased $212,000 to $2.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 from $2.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The decrease resulted primarily from a $211,000 decrease in interest income on loans and a $4,000 decrease in interest income on federal funds sold and other bank deposits, partially offset by an increase of $3,000 in interest income on U.S. government agency and mortgage-backed securities.

Interest income on loans decreased $211,000, or 8.9%, to $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 from $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The decrease resulted from a 23 basis point decrease in the average yield to 5.39% for the three months ended June 30, 2013 from 5.62% for the three months ended June 30, 2012, reflecting decreases in market interest rates for loan products. The decrease was also due in part to an $8.3 million, or 4.9%, decrease in the average balance of loans, net, to $159.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 from $168.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012.

Interest and dividend income on total securities increased $3,000 to $513,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 from $510,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The increase resulted from a $43,000 increase in interest income on U.S. government agency securities and a $40,000 decrease in interest income on mortgage-backed securities. The increase in interest income on U.S. government agency securities was primarily due to a $9.0 million increase in the average balance of U.S. government agency securities to $27.1 million and an 8 basis point increase in the average yield to 1.76% for the period ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same period last year. The decrease in interest income from mortgage-backed securities was primarily due to a 54 basis point decrease in the average yield on mortgage-backed securities to 1.71%, partially offset by a $14.8 million increase in the average balance of mortgage-backed securities to $92.0 million.

Interest income associated with federal funds sold and other bank deposits decreased $4,000, or 24.4%, to $12,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 from $15,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The decrease is primarily attributable to the average balance of federal funds sold and other bank deposits decreasing $6.3 million, or 18.3%, to $28.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 from $34.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012.

Interest Expense. Interest expense, consisting entirely of the cost of interest-bearing deposits, decreased $238,000, or 30.2%, to $548,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 from $785,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The decrease in the cost of interest-bearing deposits was due to a decrease of 28 basis points in the average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits to 0.90% for the three months ended June 30, 2013 from 1.18% for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The decrease in interest expense was also due to a $20.9 million, or 7.9%, decrease in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits to $244.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 from $265.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The decline in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits was primarily due to our strategy to allow higher costing certificates of deposit to runoff at maturity and gradually replace them with lower-cost core deposits. The balance of certificates of deposit decreased $27.0 million to $187.0 million at June 30, 2013 from $214.0 million at June 30, 2012.

Provision for Loan Losses. We establish provisions for loan losses that are charged to operations in order to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level believed, to the best of management’s knowledge, to cover all known and inherent losses in the portfolio both probable and reasonable to estimate at each reporting date. We recorded a $304,000 provision for loan losses for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to a $58,000 provision for loan loss for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The allowance for loan losses was $2.2 million, or 53.5% of non-performing loans at June 30, 2013 compared to $2.1 million, or 42.1% of non-performing loans at June 30, 2012. The increased provision for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 reflects management’s view of the losses inherent in the loan portfolio. During the three months ended June 30, 2013, loan charge offs totaled $169,000 with recoveries of $24,000, compared to $1.5 million in charge offs and no recoveries during the three months ended June 30, 2012. During the three months ended June 30, 2012, most of the $1.5 million in charge offs were already established as of March 31, 2012 in the allowance for loan losses as specific reserves and thus had no impact on the provision for loan losses during that quarter. During fiscal year 2014 we will continue our emphasis in growing commercial real estate and commercial business loans, which are generally considered to bear higher risk than one-to four-family mortgage loans and could contribute to higher provisions going forward.

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income increased $80,000 to $265,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013, compared to $185,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase of $44,000 in gain on sale of investment securities, a $15,000 increase in service charges and a $23,000 increase in earnings on bank-owned life insurance (‘BOLI’), slightly offset by a $3,000 decrease in gains on sale of loans held for sale. Other noninterest income did not change significantly for the three month period ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the period ended June 30, 2012.

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense increased $229,000, or 12.0%, to $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 from $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The largest components of this increase were salaries and benefits, which increased by $145,000, professional services, which increased $160,000, and data processing, which increased $16,000. These increases were partially offset by a $29,000 decrease in advertising, a $17,000 decrease in deposit insurance premiums, a $15,000 decrease in foreclosed real estate expense and a $48,000 decrease in other operating expense. The hiring of new staff contributed to higher salaries and benefits compared to the same period last year. Also contributing to higher noninterest expense were the costs incurred for professional services relating to being a stock institution and the workout of problem loans. Advertising expense decreased as a result of the rebranding effort that was undertaken last year.

Income tax Expense. We recorded a $66,000 income tax benefit for the three months ended June 30, 2013 after a net loss before income taxes of $48,000 and $97,000 of income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The effective income tax rate was a negative 136.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 30.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The reason the effective tax rate in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 period was negative is a result of the net loss before income taxes, as well as tax-exempt revenue totaling $125,000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is the ability to meet current and future financial obligations of a short-term nature. Our primary sources of funds available to meet short-term liquidity needs consist of deposit inflows, loan repayments, and maturities and sales of investment securities. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions, and competition. We regularly adjust our investments in liquid assets available to meet short-term liquidity needs based upon our assessment of (i) expected loan demand, (ii) expected deposit flows, (iii) yields available on interest-earning deposits and securities, and (iv) the objectives of our asset/liability management policy. We do not have long-term debt or other financial obligations that would create long-term liquidity concerns.

Our most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents and interest-bearing deposits. The level of these assets depends on our operating, financing, lending, and investing activities during any given period. At June 30, 2013, cash and cash equivalents totaled $27.3 million and securities classified as available-for-sale amounted to $113.7 million. Our liquidity has increased as a result of the $35.6 million received in net proceeds from the mutual-to-stock conversion completed on October 10, 2012. In addition, at June 30, 2013, the Bank had the ability to borrow a total of approximately $65.2 million or 20% of total assets from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta. The Bank also has two lines of credit totaling $6.0 million with one large financial institution. At June 30, 2013, we had no Federal Home Loan Bank advances outstanding or borrowings on the lines of credit.

Certificates of deposit due within one year of June 30, 2013 totaled $101.5 million, or 54.3% of certificates of deposit. We believe the large percentage of certificates of deposit that mature within one year reflects customers’ hesitancy to invest their funds for longer periods due to the current low interest rate environment and local competitive pressures. If these maturing deposits do not remain with us, we will be required to seek other sources of funds, including other certificates of deposit and borrowings. Depending on market conditions, we may be required to pay higher rates on such deposits or other borrowings than we currently pay on certificates of deposit due on or before June 30, 2014. We believe, however, based on past experience that a significant portion of our certificates of deposit will remain with us. We have the ability to attract and retain deposits by adjusting the interest rates offered.

In the normal course of operations, we engage in a variety of financial transactions that, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, are not recorded in our financial statements. These transactions involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, interest rate and liquidity risk. Such transactions are used primarily to manage customers’ requests for funding and take the form of loan commitments, unused lines of credit and letters of credit. At June 30, 2013, we had $29.1 million in commitments to extend credit outstanding.

We are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, including a risk-based capital measure. The risk-based capital guidelines include both a definition of capital and a framework for calculating risk-weighted assets by assigning balance sheet assets and off-balance sheet items to broad risk categories. At June 30, 2013, the Bank exceeded all of its regulatory capital requirements and was considered “well capitalized” under regulatory guidelines.

In July 2013, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the other federal bank regulatory agencies issued a final rule that will revise their leverage and risk-based capital requirements and the method for calculating risk-weighted assets to make them consistent with agreements that were reached by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision and certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act. Among other things, the rule establishes a new common equity Tier 1 minimum capital requirement (4.5% of risk-weighted assets), increases the minimum Tier 1 capital to risk-based assets requirement (from 4% to 6% of risk-weighted assets) and assigns 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 unless a one-time opt-out is exercised. 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 final rule becomes effective for the Company and the Bank on January 1, 2015. 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.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

For a discussion of our market risk, please refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2013 filed on June 28, 2013. The Company’s market risk has not changed materially from that disclosed in the annual report.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the period covered by this report. Based upon such evaluation, the principal executive officer and 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 the information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act with the Securities and Exchange Commission (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 period covered by this report, there have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
