NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2011 AND 2010

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1—SELECTED ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Financial Statement Presentation

 

The consolidated financial information of HF Financial Corp. (the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is unaudited.  However, in the opinion of management, adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation for the interim periods have been included.  Results for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the fiscal year.  Interim consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 (“fiscal 2011”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The accounting and reporting policies of the Company and its subsidiaries conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and to general practice within the industry.

 

The interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Home Federal Bank (the “Bank”), HF Financial Group, Inc. (“HF Group”) and HomeFirst Mortgage Corp. (the “Mortgage Corp.”), and the Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, Mid America Capital Services, Inc. (“Mid America Capital”), Hometown Investment Services, Inc. (“Hometown”), Mid-America Service Corporation and PMD, Inc.  The interim consolidated financial statements reflect the deconsolidation of the wholly-owned subsidiary trusts of the Company: HF Financial Capital Trust III (“Trust III”), HF Financial Capital Trust IV (“Trust IV”), HF Financial Capital Trust V (“Trust V”) and HF Financial Capital Trust VI (“Trust VI”). See Note 11 of “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.”  All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Management has evaluated subsequent events for potential disclosure or recognition through November 14, 2011, the date of the filing of the consolidated financial statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Reclassification

 

Certain balances from September 30, 2010 have been reclassified in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements to conform to the fiscal 2012 presentation.

 

NOTE 2—REGULATORY CAPITAL

NOTE 3—EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

 

Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders (the numerator) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding (the denominator) during the period.  Shares outstanding include the nonvested shares of the Company.  See Note 10 “Stock-Based Compensation Plans” for

 

4



Table of Contents

 

additional information related to the nonvested share activity.  Shares issued during the period and shares reacquired during the period are weighted for the portion of the period they were outstanding.  The weighted average number of basic common shares outstanding for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was 6,974,066 and 6,946,303, respectively.

 

Dilutive earnings per common share is similar to the computation of basic earnings per common share except the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the dilutive options outstanding had been exercised. The weighted average number of common and dilutive potential common shares outstanding for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was 6,974,066 and 6,946,547, respectively.

Management has a process to identify securities that could potentially have a credit impairment that is other-than-temporary. This process involves evaluating the length of time and extent to which the fair value has been less than the amortized cost basis, reviewing available information regarding the financial position of the issuer, monitoring the rating of the security, and projecting cash flows. Management also determines if it is more likely than not we will be required to sell the security before the recovery of its amortized cost which, in some cases, may extend to maturity. To the extent we determine that a security is deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired, an impairment loss is recognized.

 

For all securities that are considered temporarily impaired, the Company does not intend to sell these securities (has not made a decision to sell) and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost, which may occur at maturity. The Company believes that it will collect all principal and interest due on all investments that have amortized cost in excess of fair value that are considered only temporarily impaired.

The unrealized losses reported for agency residential mortgage-backed securities relate to 27 securities issued by Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”), the Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA”), or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC”). These unrealized losses are primarily attributable to changes in interest rates and the contractual cash flows of those investments which are guaranteed by an agency of the U.S. government. Management does not believe any of these unrealized losses as of September 30, 2011, represent an other-than-temporary impairment for those investments. The Company does not have the intent to sell these securities (has not made a decision to sell) and has assessed that it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell these securities before anticipated recovery of fair value.

The balance of credit losses on securities held for which a portion of other-than-temporary impairment was recognized in other comprehensive income at the beginning of the fiscal year was $8,000 which was all attributed to FNMA common stock.  There were no additional credit losses for which an other-than-temporary impairment was recognized for the three months ended September 30, 2011.

Credit Quality Indicators:

 

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, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information and current economic trends, among other factors. For loans other than residential and consumer, the Company analyzes loans individually, by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis includes non-term loans, regardless of balance and term loans with an outstanding balance greater than $100,000.  Each loan is reviewed annually, at a minimum.  Specific events applicable to the loan may trigger an additional review prior to its scheduled review, if such event is determined to possibly modify the risk classification.  The summary of the analysis for the portfolio is calculated on a monthly basis. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

 

Pass -  Loans classified as pass represent loans that are evaluated and are performing under the stated terms. Pass rated assets are analyzed by the pay capacity, the current net worth, and the value of the loan collateral of the obligor.

 

Special Mention -  Loans classified as special mention possess potential weaknesses that require management attention, but do not yet warrant adverse classification. While the status of a loan put on this list may not technically trigger their classification as Substandard or Doubtful, it is considered a proactive way to identify potential issues and address them before the situation deteriorates further and does result in a loss for the Bank.

 

Substandard -  Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth, paying capacity of the obligor, or by the collateral pledged. Substandard loans must have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the repayment of the debt as originally contracted. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain a loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

 

Doubtful -  Loans classified as doubtful have the weaknesses of 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. Loans that fall into this class are deemed collateral dependent and an

individual impairment analysis is performed on all relationships. Loans in this category are allocated a specific reserve if the estimated discounted cash flows from the loan (or collateral value less cost to sell for collateral dependent loans) do not support the outstanding loan balance or charged off if deemed uncollectible.

Table of Contents

 

At September 30, 2011, the Company has identified $27.0 million of loans as impaired which includes performing troubled debt restructurings.  A loan is identified as impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement and thus are placed on non-accrual status. Interest income on impaired loans is recognized on a cash basis. The average carrying amount is calculated for each quarter by using the daily average balance, which is then averaged with the other quarters’ averages to determine an annual average balance.

(1)  Represents the borrower’s loan obligation, gross of any previously charged-off amounts.

 

Modifications of terms for loans and their inclusion as troubled debt restructurings are based on individual facts and circumstances. Loan modifications that are included as troubled debt restructurings may involve reduction of the interest rate or renewing at an interest rate below current market rates, extension of the term of the loan and/or forgiveness of principal, regardless of the period of the modification. Generally, the Company will allow interest rate reductions for a period of less than two years after which the loan reverts back to the contractual interest rate. Each of the loans included as troubled debt restructurings at September 30, 2011, had interest rate modifications from 6 months to 2 years before reverting back to the original interest rate or had extended repayment terms with increased interest rates. All of the loans were modified due to financial stress of the borrower.

(1)  Includes five contracts, which are in compliance with their restructured terms, that are not accruing interest and have a recorded investment balance of $12,128.

 

Excluded from above, the Company has one commercial business and three agricultural loans with a recorded balance of $130,000 and $4.6 million, respectively, at September 30, 2011, which are not in compliance with their restructured terms and are in nonaccrual status.   The commercial loan and one agricultural loan were in nonaccrual status, while the remaining two agricultural loans were accruing interest at the time of the original restructuring.  Loans can retain their accrual status at the time of their modification if the restructuring is not a result of terminated loan payments.   For nonaccruing loans, a minimum of six months of performance related to the restructured terms are required before a loan is returned to accruing status.

 

NOTE 6—LOAN SERVICING

 

Mortgage loans serviced for others (primarily the South Dakota Housing Development Authority) are not included in the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition.

Amortization of servicing rights is adjusted each quarter as the result of the evaluation of historical prepayment activity.  For the first quarter ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the constant prepayment rates (CPR) used to calculate the amortization was 10.3% and 8.0%, respectively.  Management utilized a discount rate of 9.0% for valuation purposes for both periods.   Prepayment speeds calculated at September 30, 2011 and 2010 were 11.9% and 11.9%, respectively, which are used in the calculation of the amortization expense for the subsequent quarter.  Prepayment speeds are analyzed and adjusted each quarter.

NOTE 7—SEGMENT REPORTING

 

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which discrete financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision makers in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.  The Company’s reportable segments are “banking” (including leasing activities) and “other.”  The “banking” segment is conducted through the Bank and Mid America Capital and the “other” segment is composed of smaller non-reportable segments, the Company and intersegment eliminations.

 

The management approach is used as the conceptual basis for identifying reportable segments and is based on the way that management organizes the segments within the enterprise for making operating decisions, allocating resources and monitoring performance, which is primarily based on products.

 

The following tables summarize segment reporting information:

NOTE 8—DEFINED BENEFIT PLAN

 

The Company has a noncontributory (cash balance) defined benefit pension plan covering all employees of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries who have attained the age of 21 and have completed 1,000 hours of service in a plan year.  The benefits are based on 6% of each eligible participant’s annual compensation, plus income earned in the accounts at a rate determined annually based on 30-year Treasury note rates.  The Company’s funding policy is to make the minimum annual required contribution plus such amounts as the Company may determine to be appropriate from time to time.  One hundred percent vesting occurs after three years with a retirement age of the later of age 65 or three years of participation.  The Company has adopted all plan provisions required by the Pension Protection Act of 2006.

 

Information relative to the components of net periodic benefit cost for the Company’s defined benefit plan is presented below:

The Company previously disclosed in its consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2011, which are included in Part II, Item 8 “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, that it contributed $455,000 in fiscal 2011 to fund its qualified pension plan.  The Company anticipates that a contribution of $470,000 will be made in the second quarter of fiscal 2012.

 

NOTE 9SELF-INSURED HEALTHCARE PLAN

 

The Company has had a self-insured health plan for its employees, subject to certain limits, since January 1994.  The Bank is named the plan administrator for this plan and has retained the services of an independent third party administrator to process claims and handle other duties for this plan.  The third party administrator does not assume liability for benefits payable under this plan.

 

The Company assumes the responsibility for funding the plan benefits out of general assets; however, employees cover some of the costs of covered benefits through contributions, deductibles, co-pays and participation amounts.  An employee is eligible for coverage upon completion of 30 calendar days of regular employment.  The plan, which is on a calendar year basis, is intended to comply with, and be governed by, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.

 

The accrual estimate for pending and incurred but not reported health claims is based upon a pending claims lag report provided by a third party provider.  Although management believes that it uses the best information available to determine the accrual, unforeseen health claims could result in adjustments and net earnings being significantly affected if circumstances differ substantially from the assumptions used in estimating the accrual.  Net healthcare costs are inclusive of health claims expenses and administration fees offset by stop loss and employee reimbursement.

These stock option and incentive plans are described more fully in Part II, Item 8 “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2011, under Note 16 of “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.”

 

NOTE 11—SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES PAYABLE TO TRUSTS

 

The Company has issued and outstanding 27,000 shares totaling $27.0 million of Company Obligated Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Securities. These four Trusts were established and exist for the sole purpose of issuing trust preferred securities and investing the proceeds in subordinated debentures of the Company. These subordinated debentures constitute the sole assets of the four Trusts. The securities provide for cumulative cash distributions calculated at a rate based on three-month LIBOR plus a range from 1.65% to 3.35% adjusted quarterly. The Company may, at one or more times, defer interest payments on the capital securities for up to 20 consecutive quarterly periods, but not beyond the respective maturity date. At the end of the deferral period, all accumulated and unpaid distributions must be paid. The capital securities have redemption dates ranging from January 7, 2033 to October 1, 2037; however, the Company has the option to shorten the respective maturity date for two of the four securities as the call option date has passed. The remaining two securities comprising a total of $15.0 million and have call option dates of March 1, 2012 and October 1, 2012.  Holders of the capital securities have no voting rights, are unsecured, and rank junior in priority of the payment to all of the Company’s indebtedness and senior to the Company’s capital stock.

 

NOTE 12INTEREST RATE CONTRACTS

 

Interest rate swap contracts are entered into primarily as an asset/liability management strategy of the Company to modify interest rate risk. The primary risk associated with all swaps is the exposure to movements in interest rates and the ability of the counterparties to meet the terms of the contract. The Company is exposed to losses if the counterparty fails to make its payments under a contract in which the Company is in a receiving status. The Company minimizes its risk by monitoring the credit standing of the counterparties. The Company anticipates the counterparties will be able to fully satisfy its obligations under the remaining agreements.  These contracts are typically designated as cash flow hedges.

 

The Company has outstanding interest rate swap agreements totaling $17.0 million notional amount to convert four variable-rate Trust Preferred securities into fixed-rate instruments.  The agreements have a weighted average maturity of 1.4 years and have fixed rates ranging from 5.93% to 6.91% with a weighted average rate of 6.40%.  The fair value of the derivatives was an unrealized loss of $797,000 and $851,000 at September 30, 2011, and 2010, respectively.   The Company also has four forward-starting interest rate swap agreements totaling $20.0 million, which will replace the existing swap agreements upon their expiration.  The agreements have a weighted average effective date of 0.4 years and have fixed rates ranging from 5.68% to 6.58% with a weighted average rate of 5.97%.  The fair value of the derivatives was an unrealized loss of $2.3 million and $1.4 million at September 30, 2011, and 2010, respectively.  The Company pledged $3.2 million in cash under collateral arrangements as of September 30, 2011, to satisfy collateral requirements associated with these interest rate swap contracts.

 

The Company has outstanding five interest rate swap agreements with notional amounts totaling $35.0 million to convert the variable-rate attributes of a pool of deposits into fixed-rate instruments.  The agreements have a weighted average maturity of 2.6 years and have fixed rates ranging from 2.09% to 2.56% with a weighted average rate of 2.36%.  The fair value of the agreements is an unrealized loss of $2.0 million at September 30, 2011 and $1.8 million at September 30, 2010.  The Company pledged $2.1 million in investment securities under collateral arrangements as of September 30, 2011, to satisfy collateral requirements associated with these interest rate swap contracts.

 

The Company has outstanding two borrower interest rate swap agreements with notional amounts totaling $1.9 million to facilitate customer transactions and meet their financing needs. These swaps qualify as derivatives, but are not designated as hedging instruments. Interest rate swap contracts involve the risk of dealing with counterparties and their ability to meet contractual terms. When the fair value of a derivative instrument contract is positive, this generally indicates that the counterparty or customer owes the Company, and results in credit risk to the Company. When the fair value of a derivative instrument contract is negative, the Company owes the customer or counterparty and therefore, has no credit risk.  The swap positions are offset to minimize the potential impact on the Company’s financial statements.  The fair value of these derivatives were an unrealized gain of $101,000 reported in other assets and an unrealized loss of $101,000 reported as accrued expenses and other liabilities at September 30, 2011.  The derivatives had no impact on the consolidated statements of income for the three months ended September 30, 2011.  Any amounts due to the Company are expected to be collected from the borrower.  Credit risk exists if the borrower’s collateral or financial

condition indicates that the underlying collateral or financial condition of the borrower makes it probable that amounts due will be uncollectible.  Management monitors this credit exposure on a quarterly basis.

 

No gain or loss was recognized in earnings for the three months ended September 30, 2011, and 2010 related to interest rate swaps.  No deferred net losses on interest rate swaps in other comprehensive loss as of September 30, 2011, are expected to be reclassified into earnings during the current fiscal year.  See Note 13 “Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss” for amounts reported as other comprehensive loss.

NOTE 14FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

 

The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and financial guarantees. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest-rate risk in excess of amounts recognized in the consolidated statements of financial condition. The contract or notional amount of those instruments reflects the extent of the Bank’s involvement in particular classes of financial instruments.

 

The Bank’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, and financial guarantees written is represented by the contractual notional amount of those instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

 

Unless noted otherwise, the Bank does not require collateral or other security to support financial instruments with credit risk.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the fair value of its financial instruments:

 

Cash and cash equivalents—The carrying amounts reported in the statements of financial condition for cash and cash equivalents approximate their fair values.

 

Securities—Fair values for investment securities are based on quoted market prices or whose value is determined using discounted cash flow methodologies, except for stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank for which fair value is assumed to equal cost.

 

Loans and leases, net—The fair values for loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms and credit quality. Leases are stated at cost which equals fair value.

 

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

 

Servicing rights—Fair values are estimated using discounted cash flows based on current market rates of interest.

 

Interest rate swap contracts—Valuations of interest rate swap contracts are based on inputs observed in active markets for similar instruments. Typical inputs include the LIBOR curve, option volatility and option skew.

 

Off-statement-of-financial-condition instruments—Fair values for the Company’s off-statement-of-financial-condition instruments (unused lines of credit and letters of credit), which are based upon fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and counterparties’ credit standing, are not significant.

 

Deposits—The fair values for deposits with no defined maturities equal their carrying amounts, which represent the amount payable on demand. Fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on a comparably termed wholesale funding alternative (i.e., FHLB borrowings).

 

Interest rate swap contracts—Valuations of interest rate swap contracts are based on inputs observed in active markets for similar instruments. Typical inputs include the LIBOR curve, option volatility and option skew.

 

Borrowed funds—The carrying amounts reported for variable rate advances approximate their fair values. Fair values for fixed-rate advances and other borrowings are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on advances and borrowings with corresponding maturity dates.

 

Subordinated debentures payable to trusts—Fair values for subordinated debentures are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates on comparable borrowing instruments with corresponding maturity dates.

 

Accrued interest payable and advances by borrowers for taxes and insurance—The carrying values of accrued interest payable and advances by borrowers for taxes and insurance approximate their fair values.

Fair Value Measurement

 

The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures.  The fair value of a financial instrument is the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.  Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices.  However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Company’s various financial instruments.  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.  Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument.

 

Fair value accounting guidance provides a consistent definition of fair value, which focuses on exit price in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions.  If there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability, a change in valuation technique or the use of multiple valuation techniques may be appropriate.  In such instances, determining the price at which willing market participants would transact at the measurement date under current market conditions depends on the facts and circumstances and requires the use of significant judgment.  The fair value is a reasonable point within the range that is most representative of fair value under current market conditions.

 

The Company groups its financial assets and financial liabilities generally measured at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value.

 

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

 

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

 

20



Table of Contents

 

Level 3:  Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

The Company used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate the fair value of items:

 

Securities available for sale: The fair values of securities available for sale are determined by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1 inputs), or matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities, but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2 inputs).  The Company outsources this valuation primarily to a third party provider which utilizes several sources for valuing fixed-income securities.  Sources utilized by the third party provider include pricing models that vary based by asset class and include available trade, bid, and other market information.  This methodology includes broker quotes, proprietary models, descriptive terms and conditions databases, as well as extensive quality control programs.  As further valuation sources, the third party provider uses a proprietary valuation model and capital markets trading staff.  This proprietary valuation model is used for valuing municipal securities. This model includes a separate curve structure for Bank-Qualified municipal securities. The grouping of municipal securities is further broken down according to insurer, credit support, state of issuance, and rating to incorporate additional spreads and municipal curves.

 

Interest rate swap contracts:  The fair values of interest rate swap contracts relate to cash flow hedges of trust preferred debt securities issued by the Company cash flow hedges of variable rate deposits, and for specific borrower interest rate swap contracts classified as non-designated derivatives.  The fair value is estimated by a third party using inputs that are observable or that can be corroborated by observable market data and, therefore, are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. These fair value estimations include primarily market observable inputs, such as yield curves, and include the value associated with counterparty credit risk.

Loans held for sale, which consist generally of current production of certain fixed-rate, first-lien residential mortgage loans, are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value. The estimated fair value is based on what secondary markets are currently offering for portfolios with similar characteristics, which the Company classifies as a Level 2 nonrecurring fair value measurement.

 

Impaired loans are evaluated and valued at the time the loan is identified as impaired, at the lower of cost or market value. Market value is measured based on the value of the collateral securing these loans.  Collateral is primarily real estate and its fair value is generally determined based on real estate appraisals or other evaluations by qualified professionals, for which the Company classifies within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Impaired loans are reviewed and evaluated on at least a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly, based on the same factors identified above. Impaired loans that are collateral dependent are written down to their fair value, less costs to sell, through the establishment of specific reserves or by recording charge-offs when the carrying value exceeds the fair value. Valuation techniques consistent with the market approach, income approach, and/or cost approach were used to measure fair value and primarily included observable inputs such as recent sales of similar assets or observable market data for operational or carrying costs, for which the Company classifies within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

Mortgage servicing rights do not trade in an active, open market with readily observable prices. While sales of mortgage servicing rights do occur, the precise terms and conditions typically are not readily available to allow for a “quoted price for similar assets” comparison. Accordingly, the Company relies on an internal discounted cash flow model to estimate the fair value of its mortgage servicing rights. The Company uses a valuation model to project mortgage servicing rights cash flows based on the current interest rate scenario, which is then discounted to estimate an expected fair value of the mortgage servicing rights. The valuation model considers portfolio characteristics of the underlying mortgages, contractually specified servicing fees, prepayment assumptions, discount rate assumptions, other ancillary revenue, costs to service, and other economic factors. The Company reassesses and periodically adjusts the underlying inputs and assumptions used in the model to reflect market conditions and assumptions that a market participant would consider in valuing the mortgage servicing rights asset. In addition, the Company compares its fair value estimates and assumptions to observable market data for mortgage servicing rights, where available, and to recent market activity and actual portfolio experience. Due to the nature of the valuation inputs, mortgage servicing rights are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company uses the amortization method (i.e., lower of amortized cost or estimated fair value measured on a nonrecurring basis), not fair value measurement accounting, for its mortgage servicing rights assets.

 

Foreclosed assets include those assets which have subsequent market adjustments after the original possession as a foreclosed asset.  The estimated fair value is based on what the local markets are currently offering for assets with similar characteristics, which the Company classifies as a Level 3 nonrecurring fair value measurement.  Typically, foreclosed assets under this category have had market adjustments due to the deterioration in values that are not reflected in the most recent appraisal or valuation.

Executive Summary

 

The Company’s net income for the first three months of fiscal 2012 was $1.4 million, or $0.21 in diluted earnings per common share, compared to $490,000, or $0.07 in diluted earnings per common share, for the same period of fiscal 2011.

 

Net interest income for the first three months of fiscal 2012 was $9.1 million, a decrease of $527,000, or 5.5%, compared to the same period a year ago.  For the three months ended September 30, 2011, average interest-earning assets and average interest-bearing liabilities decreased 2.7% and 5.3%, respectively, compared to the same period a year ago.  Yields on earning assets decreased to 4.53% for the first three months of fiscal 2012, compared to 4.85% a year ago, a decrease of 32 basis points.  For the same period, cost of deposits, which include all interest-bearing and noninterest bearing deposits, decreased to 0.96%, compared to 1.17%, a decrease of 21 basis points.

 

The net interest margin expressed on a fully taxable equivalent basis (“Net Interest Margin, TE”) for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was 3.24%, which is a decrease of 9 basis points from the same period of the prior fiscal year.  This margin declined due to the decreases in yield associated with the loan and investment rates in excess of the decrease in the deposit rates paid.  A sustained overall decline in the interest rate yield curve has affected both the yield for the interest-earning assets and the interest-bearing liabilities, and the average balances for these categories decreased when compared to the same quarter of the prior year.  Net Interest Margin, TE is a non-GAAP financial measure.  See “Analysis of Net Interest Income” for a calculation of this non-GAAP financial measure and for further discussion as to the reasons we believe this non-GAAP financial measure is useful.

 

The allowance for loan and lease losses decreased $3.3 million to $11.0 million at September 30, 2011, compared to June 30, 2011.  The ratio of allowance for loan and lease losses to total loans and leases was 1.35% as of September 30, 2011 compared to 1.73% and 1.40% at June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, respectively.  Total

Table of Contents

 

nonperforming assets at September 30, 2011 were $31.4 million as compared to $37.2 million and $23.1 million at June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, respectively.  The ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets decreased to 2.64% at September 30, 2011, compared to 3.12% at June 30, 2011, but increased from 1.84% at September 30, 2010.  The overall decrease in nonperforming assets from the previous quarter was primarily attributed to improving conditions in the regional agricultural market, which had previously negatively impacted the ratio.  The valuation allowance recorded in accordance with ASC 310-40 on identified impaired loans decreased to $3.7 million at September 30, 2011, compared to $6.6 million at June 30, 2011.  During the first fiscal quarter of 2012, the Company recorded charge-offs of $3.9 million, which reduced the amount of valuation allowance required on classified assets.  The valuation allowance on impaired loans increased by $762,000 from $2.9 million at September 30, 2010, due primarily to the dairy sector within the agricultural loan class.  All identified impaired loans are reviewed to assess the borrower’s ability to make payments under the terms of the loan and/or a shortfall in collateral value that would result in charging off the loan or the portion of the loan that was impaired.

 

Foreclosed real estate and other properties increased by $614,000 to $1.3 million at September 30, 2011 from June 30, 2011, primarily consisting of residential loans that were foreclosed and unsold at quarter end.   When compared to September 30, 2010, the Company has increased these assets by $384,000.

 

The allowance for loan and lease losses is calculated based on loan and lease levels, loan and lease loss history over 12, 36, and 60 month time periods, credit quality of the loan and lease portfolio, and environmental factors such as economic health of the region and management experience.  This risk rating analysis is designed to give the Company a consistent and systematic methodology to determine proper levels for the allowance at a given time.  Management intends to continue its disciplined credit administration and loan underwriting processes and to remain focused on the creditworthiness of new loan originations.  Management believes that it has identified the most significant nonperforming assets in its loan portfolio and is working to clarify and resolve the credit, credit administration, and environmental factor issues related to these assets to obtain the most favorable outcome for the Company.

 

Total deposits at September 30, 2011, were $884.2 million, a decrease of $9.0 million, or 1.0% from June 30, 2011.  During the three month period, in-market deposits, exclusive of public funds, increased $17.6 million, while out-of-market deposits and public funds decreased $1.7 million and $24.8 million, respectively.  The primary factor affecting interest expense was the decrease in the average rates paid to 1.11% on interest-bearing deposits for the three month period ended September 30, 2011, compared to 1.32% for the three month period ended September 30, 2010.

 

On October 31, 2011, the Company announced it will pay a quarterly cash dividend of 11.25 cents per common share for the first quarter of fiscal 2012.  The dividend will be paid on November 17, 2011, to stockholders of record on November 10, 2011.

 

The total risk-based capital ratio of 13.79% at September 30, 2011, increased by 51 basis points from 13.28% at June 30, 2011.  Tier I capital increased 19 basis points to 9.63% at September 30, 2011 when compared to 9.44% at June 30, 2011. This continues to place the Bank in the “well-capitalized” category within OCC regulation at September 30, 2011 and is consistent with the “well-capitalized” OCC category in which the Company plans to operate.  The Company historically has been able to manage the size of its assets through secondary market loan sales of single-family mortgages.

 

Noninterest income was $3.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $3.8 million for the same period in the prior fiscal year, a decrease of $417,000.  This decrease is due primarily to smaller net gain on sale of loans and securities of $371,000 and $96,000, respectively.

 

Noninterest expense was $9.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to $9.4 million for the same period of the prior fiscal year, an increase of $362,000, or 3.8%.  The increase was attributed primarily to increases in compensation and employee benefits and in professional fees of $171,000 and $245,000, respectively.  These costs increased primarily due to elevated compensation expenses partially related to a one-time accrual resulting from an executive separation agreement, along with other increases in professional fees related in part to certain employment, regulatory and governance matters.

 

On November 12, 2009, the FDIC Board approved a rule requiring prepayment of the quarterly assessments for the fourth quarter of calendar year 2009 and the entire calendar years of 2010, 2011, and 2012.  On December 30, 2009, the Company paid $4.9 million, which was recorded as a prepaid asset and is being proportionally expensed as each quarter elapses. At September 30, 2011, the remaining balance recorded as a prepaid asset was $2.1 million.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2012, the FDIC assessed a charge of $249,000 compared to $352,000 for the previous quarter and $305,000 for the same quarter of the prior year.  This decrease from the prior quarter is the result of modifying the assessment to an asset based computation compared to the prior method, which was entirely based on the amount of deposits.  The increase from the prior year to the prior quarter reflected rate increases assessed by the FDIC.

 

General

 

The Company is a financial services provider and, as such, has inherent risks that must be managed in order to achieve net income.  Primary risks that affect net income include credit risk, liquidity risk, operational risk, regulatory compliance risk and reputation risk.  The Company’s net income is derived by managing net interest margin, the ability to collect fees from services provided, by controlling the costs of delivering services and the management of loan and lease losses.  The primary source of revenues comes from the net interest margin, which represents the difference between income on interest-earning assets (i.e. loans and investment securities) and expense on interest-bearing liabilities (i.e. deposits and borrowed funding).  The net interest margin is affected by regulatory, economic and competitive factors that influence interest rates, loan demand and deposit flows.  Fees earned include charges for deposit services, trust services and loan services.  Personnel costs are the primary expenses required to deliver the services to customers.  Other costs include occupancy and equipment and general and administrative expenses.

 

Financial Condition Data

 

At September 30, 2011, the Company had total assets of $1.2 billion, a decrease of $521,000 from the level at June 30, 2011.  Securities available for sale increased $29.1 million during the first quarter, but was partially offset by the decrease in cash and cash equivalents.  In addition, loans and leases receivable decreased by $8.2 million, but were partially offset by a decrease in the allowance for loan and lease losses of $3.3 million.  Accrued interest receivable increased $1.5 million during this period.  Total liabilities remained relatively unchanged during the three month period ended September 30, 2011.  Deposits decreased by $9.0 million, while advances by borrowers for taxes and insurance increased $7.4 million.  Accrued expenses and other liabilities also increased by $615,000 which minimized the net change to total liabilities for the period.  Stockholders’ equity increased $273,000 to $94.7 million at September 30, 2011 due to an increase in retained earnings from net income and partially offset by decreases to stockholders’ equity resulting from accumulated other comprehensive losses.

 

Securities available for sale increased by $29.1 million primarily due to the purchase of agency residential mortgage-backed securities during the quarter of $31.2 million.

 

Net loans and leases receivable decreased $4.9 million at September 30, 2011, as compared to June 30, 2011, due in part to decreases in agricultural loans of $18.7 million and commercial loans of $3.9 million.  Residential and commercial real estate loans increased by $4.5 million and $9.6 million, respectively, to partially offset the decreases in agricultural and commercial loans.  There was also a decrease in the allowance for loan and lease losses of $3.3 million since June 30, 2011 which contributed to reducing the overall decline in net loans and leases receivable.

 

Cash and cash equivalents decreased $26.5 million at September 30, 2011, as compared to June 30, 2011.  See the “Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows” for an in-depth analysis of the change in cash and cash equivalents for the three months ended September 30, 2011.

 

Deposits decreased $9.0 million at September 30, 2011, as compared to June 30, 2011.  Certificates of deposits, noninterest bearing accounts, and money market accounts decreased $23.6 million, $16.8 million, and $1.2 million, respectively, since June 30, 2011.  Interest-bearing checking increased $10.9 million and savings accounts increased $21.6 million to partially offset the other account decreases during the three month period ended September 30, 2011.  Public fund account balances, which are included in the various deposit categories, decreased $24.8 million to $165.3 million at September 30, 2011 in part as a result of seasonal fluctuations typical with these types of municipal deposits.  Deposit accounts, excluding public funds and out-of-market certificates increased by $17.6 million.  Advances by borrowers for taxes and insurance increased $7.4 million at September 30, 2011, as compared to June 30, 2011, due to the cyclical nature and timing of payments made for real estate taxes to the various governmental agencies.

 

Stockholders’ equity increased $273,000 to $94.7 million at September 30, 2011. Net income and stock amortization increased stockholders’ equity by $1.4 million and $94,000, respectively, while dividends reduced

stockholders’ equity by $785,000 during the period.  Accumulated other comprehensive losses decreased retained earnings by $1.0 million, but was partially offset by the deferred tax effect of $542,000 during the first three months of fiscal 2012.

Analysis of Net Interest Income

 

Net interest income represents the difference between income on interest-earning assets and expense on interest-bearing liabilities.  Net interest income depends upon the volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the interest rates earned or paid on them.

 

Average Balances, Interest Rates and Yields.  The following table presents for the periods indicated, the total dollar amount of interest income from average interest-earning assets and the resulting yields, as well as the interest expense on average interest-bearing liabilities, expressed both in dollars and rates, and the net interest margin.  The table does not reflect any effect of income taxes, except where noted.  Average balances consist of daily average balances for the Bank with simple average balances for all other subsidiaries of the Company.  The average balances include nonaccruing loans and leases.  The yields on loans and leases include origination fees, net of costs, which are considered adjustments to yield.

Rate/Volume Analysis of Net Interest Income

 

The following schedule presents the dollar amount of changes in interest income and interest expense for major components of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.  It distinguishes between the increases and decreases due to fluctuating outstanding balances resulting from the levels and volatility of interest rates.  For each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, information is provided on changes attributable to (i) changes in volume (i.e., changes in volume multiplied by old rate) and (ii) changes in rate (i.e., changes in rate multiplied by old volume).

 

For purposes of this table, changes attributable to both rate and volume, which cannot be segregated, have been allocated proportionately to the change due to volume and the change due to rate.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies

 

GAAP requires management to utilize estimates when reporting financial results. The Company has identified the policies discussed below as Critical Accounting Policies because the accounting estimates require management to make certain assumptions about matters that may be uncertain at the time the estimate was made and a different method of estimating could have been reasonably made that could have a material impact on the presentation of the Company’s financial condition, changes in financial condition or results of operations.

 

Loans and Leases Receivable.  Loans receivable are stated at unpaid principal balances and net of deferred loan origination fees, costs and discounts.

 

The Company’s leases receivable are classified as direct finance leases. Under the direct financing method of accounting for leases, the total net payments receivable under the lease contracts and the residual value of the leased equipment, net of unearned income, are recorded as a net investment in direct financing leases and the unearned income is recognized each month on a basis which approximates the interest method.

 

For purposes of the disclosures required pursuant to the adoption of amendments to ASC 310 effective December 31, 2010, the loan portfolio was disaggregated into segments and then further disaggregated into classes for certain disclosures. A portfolio segment is defined as the level at which an entity develops and documents a systematic method for determining its allowance for credit losses. A class is generally determined based on the initial measurement attribute, risk characteristics of the loan, and an entity’s method for monitoring and assessing credit risk. Residential and Consumer loan portfolio segments include classes of one-to- four family, construction, consumer direct, consumer home equity, consumer overdraft and reserves, and consumer indirect. Commercial, Commercial Real Estate and Agriculture loan portfolio segments include the classes of commercial business, equipment finance leases, commercial real estate, multi-family real estate, construction, agricultural business, and agricultural real estate.

 

Interest on loans is recognized on an accrual basis at the applicable interest rate on the principal amount outstanding. Loan origination fees and direct costs as well as premiums and discounts are amortized as level yield adjustments over the respective loan terms. Unamortized net fees or costs are recognized upon early repayment of the loans. Loan commitment fees are generally deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the commitment period.

 

Impaired loans are generally carried on a nonaccrual status when there are reasonable doubts as to the collectability of principal and/or interest and/or when payment becomes 90 days past due, except loans which are well secured and in the process of collection. For all portfolio segments and classes accrued but uncollected, interest is reversed and charged against interest income when the loan is placed on nonaccrual status. Management may elect to continue the accrual of interest when the estimated net realizable value of collateral is sufficient to recover the principal balance and accrued interest. Interest payments received on nonaccrual and impaired loans are normally applied to principal. Once all principal has been received, additional interest payments are recognized on a cash basis as interest income.

 

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and insignificant payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis for commercial, commercial real estate and agricultural loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.

 

Loans that are reported as troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) apply the identical criteria in the determination of whether the loan should be accruing or nonaccruing.  Typically, the event of classifying the loan as a TDR due to a modification of terms is independent from the determination of accruing interest on a loan in accordance with accounting standards.

 

30



Table of Contents

 

For all non-homogeneous loans (including TDRs) that have been placed on nonaccrual status, our policy for returning nonaccruing loans to accrual status requires the following criteria:  six months of continued performance, timely payments, positive cash flow and an acceptable loan to value ratio.  For homogeneous loans (including TDRs), typical in our residential and consumer portfolio, the policy requires six months of consecutive timely loan payments for returning nonaccrual loans to accruing status.

 

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses.  GAAP requires the Company to maintain an allowance for probable loan and lease losses in the loan and lease portfolio. Management must develop a consistent and systematic approach to estimate the appropriate balances that will cover the probable losses.

 

The allowance for loan and lease losses is maintained at a level that management determines is sufficient to absorb estimated probable incurred losses in the loan portfolio through a provision for loan losses charged to net income. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectability of a loan balance is confirmed. Management charges off loans, or portions of loans, in the period that such loans, or portions thereof, are deemed uncollectible. The collectibility of individual impaired loans is determined through an estimate of the fair value of the underlying collateral and/or an assessment of the financial condition and repayment capacity of the borrower.  The allowances for loan and lease losses are comprised of both specific valuation allowances and general valuation allowances that are determined in accordance with authoritative accounting guidance. Additions are made to the allowance through periodic provisions charged to current operations and recovery of principal on loans previously charged off.

 

The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon management’s periodic review of the collectability of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

 

Specific valuation allowances are established based on the Company’s analyses of individual loans that are considered impaired. If a loan is deemed to be impaired, management measures the extent of the impairment and establishes a specific valuation allowance for that amount. The Company applies this classification to loans individually evaluated for impairment in the loan portfolio segments of commercial, commercial real estate and agricultural loans. Smaller balance homogenous loans are evaluated for impairment on a collective rather than an individual basis. The Company measures impairment on an individual loan and the extent to which a specific valuation allowance is necessary by comparing the loan’s outstanding balance to the fair value of the collateral, less the estimated cost to sell, if the loan is collateral dependent, or to the present value of expected cash flows, discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate. A specific valuation allowance is established when the fair value of the collateral, net of estimated costs, or the present value of the expected cash flows is less than the recorded investment in the loan.

 

The Company also follows a process to assign general valuation allowances to loan portfolio segment categories. General valuation allowances are established by applying the Company’s loan loss provisioning methodology, and reflect the estimated probable incurred losses in loans outstanding. The loan loss provisioning methodology considers various factors in determining the appropriate quantified risk factors to use in order to determine the general valuation allowances. The factors assessed begin with the historical loan loss experience for each of the loan portfolio segments. The Company’s historical loan loss experience is then adjusted by considering qualitative or environmental factors that are likely to cause estimated credit losses associated with the existing portfolio to differ from historical loss experience, including, but not limited to, the following:

 

·                  Changes in lending policies and procedures, including changes in underwriting standards and collection, charge-off, and recovery practices;

 

·                  Changes in international, national, regional, and local economic and business conditions and developments that affect the collectability of the portfolio, including the condition of various market segments;

 

·                  Changes in the nature and volume of the portfolio and in the terms of loans;

 

·                  Changes in the volume and severity of past due loans, the volume of non-accrual loans, and the volume and severity of adversely classified or graded loans;

 

·                  Changes in the quality of the Company’s loan review system;

 

·                  Changes in the value of the underlying collateral for collateral-dependent loans;

 

31



Table of Contents

 

·                  The existence and effect of any concentrations of credit, and changes in the level of such concentrations;

 

·                  Changes in the experience, ability, and depth of lending management and other relevant staff; and

 

·                  The effect of other external factors, such as competition and legal and regulatory requirements, on the level of estimated credit losses in the existing portfolio.

 

By considering the factors discussed above, the Company determines quantified risk factors that are applied to each non-impaired loan or loan type in the loan portfolio to determine the general valuation allowances.

 

The time periods considered for historical loss experience are the last five years, the last three years and the last twelve months. The Company also evaluates the sufficiency of the overall allocations used for the loan loss allowances by considering the loss experience in the most recent twelve month period.

 

The process of establishing the loan loss allowances may also involve:

 

·                  Periodic inspections of the loan collateral;

 

·                  Regular meetings of executive management with the pertinent Board committee, during which observable trends in the local economy, commodity prices and/or the real estate market are discussed; and

 

·                  Analysis of the portfolio in the aggregate, as well as on an individual loan basis, taking into consideration payment history, underwriting analyses, and internal risk ratings.

 

In order to determine the overall adequacy, each loan portfolio segment’s respective loan loss allowance is reviewed quarterly by management and by the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, as applicable.

 

Future adjustments to the allowance for loan and lease losses and methodology may be necessary if economic or other conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the estimates or, if required by regulators, based upon information at the time of their examinations. Such adjustments to estimates are made in the period in which these factors and other relevant considerations indicate that loss levels vary from previous estimates.

 

Although management believes that it uses the best information available to determine the allowance, unforeseen market or borrower conditions could result in adjustments and net income being significantly affected if circumstances differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the final determinations.

 

Mortgage Servicing Rights (“MSR”).  The Company records a servicing asset for contractually separated servicing from the underlying mortgage loans. The asset is initially recorded at fair value and represents an intangible asset backed by an income stream from the serviced assets. The asset is amortized in proportion to and over the period of estimated net servicing income.

 

At each balance sheet date, the MSRs are analyzed for impairment, which occurs when the fair value of the MSRs is lower than the amortized book value. The Company’s MSRs are primarily servicing rights acquired from the South Dakota Housing Development Authority’s first-time homebuyers program. Due to the lack of quoted markets for the Company’s servicing portfolio, the Company estimates the fair value of the MSRs using a present value of future cash flow analysis. If the fair value is greater than or equal to the amortized book value of the MSRs, no impairment is recognized. If the fair value is less than the book value, an expense for the difference is charged to net income by initiating a MSR valuation account. If the Company determines this impairment is temporary, any future changes in impairment are recorded as a change in net income and the valuation account. If the Company determines the impairment to be permanent, the valuation is written off against the MSRs, which results in a new amortized balance.

 

The Company has included MSRs as a critical accounting policy because the use of estimates for determining fair value using present value concepts may produce results which may significantly differ from other fair value analysis, perhaps even to the point of recording impairment. The risk to net income is when the underlying mortgages are paid off significantly faster than the assumptions used in the previously recorded amortization. Estimating future cash flows on the underlying mortgages is a difficult analysis and requires judgment based on the best information available. The Company looks at alternative assumptions and projections when preparing a reasonable and supportable analysis. Based on the Company’s quarterly analysis of MSRs, there was no impairment to the MSRs at September 30, 2011.

 

Security Impairment.  Management has a process in place to identify securities that could potentially have a credit impairment that is other-than-temporary. This process involves the length of time and extent to which the fair value

Table of Contents

 

has been less than the amortized cost basis, review of available information regarding the financial position of the issuer, monitoring the rating of the security, cash flow projections, and the Company’s intent to sell a security or whether it is more likely than not the Company will be required to sell the security before the recovery of its amortized cost which, in some cases, may extend to maturity. To the extent we determine that a security is deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired, an impairment loss is recognized. If the Company intends to sell a security or it is more likely than not that the Company would be required to sell a security before the recovery of its amortized cost, less any current period credit loss, the Company recognizes an other-than-temporary impairment in net income for the difference between amortized cost and fair value. If we do not expect to recover the amortized cost basis, we do not plan to sell the security and if it is not more likely than not that the Company would be required to sell a security before the recovery of it amortized cost, less any current period credit loss, the recognition of the other-than-temporary impairment is bifurcated. For those securities, the Company separates the total impairment into a credit loss component recognized in net income, and the amount of the loss related to other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income net of taxes.

 

The amount of the credit loss component of a debt security impairment is estimated as the difference between amortized cost and the present value of the expected cash flows of the security. The present value is determined using the best estimate cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate implicit to the security at the date of purchase or the current yield to accrete an asset- backed or floating rate security. At September 30, 2011, the Company does not have other-than-temporarily impaired debt securities for which credit losses exist.

 

Level 3 Fair Value Measurement.  GAAP requires the Company to measure the fair value of financial instruments under a standard which describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value. Level 3 measurement includes significant unobservable inputs that reflect the Company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation. Although management believes that it uses a best estimate of information available to determine fair value, due to the uncertainty of future events, the approach includes a process that may differ significantly from other methodologies and still produce an estimate that is in accordance with GAAP.

 

Self-Insurance.  The Company has a self-insured healthcare plan for its employees up to certain limits. To mitigate a portion of the risks involved with a self-insurance health plan, the Company has a stop-loss insurance policy through a commercial insurance carrier for coverage in excess of $75,000 per individual occurrence. The estimate of self-insurance liability is based upon known claims and an estimate of incurred, but not reported (“IBNR”) claims. IBNR claims are estimated using historical claims lag information received by a third party claims administrator. Due to the uncertainty of health claims, the approach includes a process that may differ significantly from other methodologies and still produce an estimate that is in accordance with GAAP. Although management believes that it uses the best information available to determine the accrual, unforeseen health claims could result in adjustments to the accrual. These adjustments could significantly affect net income if circumstances differ substantially from the assumptions used in estimating the accrual.

 

Asset Quality and Potential Problem Loans and Leases

 

When a borrower fails to make a required payment on a loan within 10 to 15 days after the payment is due, the Bank generally institutes collection procedures by issuing a late notice. The customer is contacted again when the payment is between 17 and 40 days past due. In most cases, delinquencies are cured promptly; however, if a loan has been delinquent for more than 40 days, the Bank attempts additional written as well as verbal contacts and, if necessary, personal contact with the borrower in order to determine the reason for the delinquency and to effect a cure.  Where appropriate, Bank personnel review the condition of the property and the financial circumstances of the borrower. Based upon the results of any such investigation, the Bank may: (i) accept a repayment program which under appropriate circumstances could involve an extension in the case of consumer loans for the arrearage from the borrower, (ii) seek evidence, in the form of a listing contract, of efforts by the borrower to sell the property if the borrower has stated that he is attempting to sell, or (iii) initiate foreclosure proceedings. When a loan payment is delinquent for 90 days, the Bank generally will initiate foreclosure proceedings unless management is satisfied the credit problem is correctable.

 

Loans are generally classified as nonaccrual when there are reasonable doubts as to the collectability of principal and/or interest and/or when payment becomes 90 days past due, except loans which are well secured and in the process of collection. Interest collections on nonaccrual loans, for which the ultimate collectability of principal is uncertain, are applied as principal reductions.

Leases are generally classified as nonaccrual when there are reasonable doubts as to the collectability of principal and/or interest. Leases may be placed on nonaccrual when the lease has experienced either four consecutive months with no payments or once the account is five months in arrears. Interest collections on nonaccrual leases, for which the ultimate collectability of principal is uncertain, are applied as principal reductions.

 

When a lessee fails to make a required lease payment within 10 days after the payment is due, Mid America Capital generally institutes collection procedures. The lessee may be contacted by telephone on the 10th, but no later than the 30th day of delinquency. A late notice is automatically issued by the system on the 11th day of delinquency and is sent to the lessee. The lease may be referred to legal counsel when the lease is past due beyond four payments and no positive response has been received or when other considerations are present.

 

Nonperforming assets (i.e., nonaccrual loans and leases, accruing loans and leases delinquent more than 90 days and foreclosed assets) decreased $5.8 million during the year to $31.4 million at September 30, 2011.  This net decrease was primarily the result of loans charged off during the quarter and due in part by customer ability to obtain alternative financing. The ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets, which is one indicator of credit risk exposure, decreased to 2.64% at September 30, 2011, from 3.12% at June 30, 2011.

 

Nonaccruing loans and leases decreased to $26.2 million at September 30, 2011, compared to $30.8 million at June 30, 2011. Included in nonaccruing loans and leases at September 30, 2011 were 12 loans totaling $1.4 million secured by one- to four-family real estate, ten commercial business loans totaling $553,000, five equipment finance leases totaling $114,000, four commercial real estate loans totaling $683,000, one loan for $32,000 secured by multifamily real estate, 24 agricultural real estate loans totaling $13.3 million, 39 agricultural business loans totaling $9.7 million, and 18 consumer loans totaling $358,000.

 

Accruing loans and leases delinquent more than 90 days decreased $1.8 million, to $3.8 million at September 30, 2011 compared to $5.6 million at June 30, 2011.  Included in accruing loans and leases delinquent more than 90 days at September 30, 2011 were one loan for $65,000 secured by one- to four-family real estate, two loans totaling $148,000 secured by commercial business assets, two loans totaling $113,000 secured by commercial real estate, five loans totaling $1.2 million secured by agricultural real estate, and 18 loans totaling $2.3 million secured by agricultural business assets. For the accruing loans which are greater than 90 days past due, the one- to four-family collateralized loan has a loan to value ratio of 96.9% at September 30, 2011.  This loan remains in accruing status due to the government guarantee on the loan.  Commercial business and commercial real estate collateralized loans have weighted average loan to value ratios of 47.9% and 80.0%, respectively.  Agricultural real estate collateralized loans have a weighted average loan to value ratio of 56.8% and agricultural business collateralized loans have a weighted average loan to value ratio of 69.4%.

 

The Company’s nonperforming loans and leases, which represent nonaccrual loans and loans past due 90 days and still accruing, have decreased $6.4 million from the levels at June 30, 2011. The risk rating system in place is designed to identify and manage the nonperforming loans and leases. Commercial and agricultural loans and equipment finance leases will have specific reserve allocations based on collateral values or based on the present value of expected cash flows if the loans or leases are deemed impaired. Loans and leases that are not performing do not necessarily result in a loss.

 

As of September 30, 2011, the Company had $1.3 million of foreclosed assets. The balance of foreclosed assets at September 30, 2011, consisted of $1.3 million in one- to four-family residences, $29,000 in commercial business collateral, $15,000 in equipment finance leases, and $9,000 in consumer collateral.

 

At September 30, 2011, the Company had designated $46.0 million of its loans as classified, which management has determined need to be closely monitored because of possible credit problems of the borrowers or the cash flows of the secured properties. At September 30, 2011, the Company had $7.7 million in multi-family, commercial real estate, commercial business, and agricultural participation loans purchased, of which none of the amounts were classified at September 30, 2011. These loans and leases were considered in determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan and lease losses. The allowance for loan and lease losses is established based on management’s evaluation of the risks probable in the loan and lease portfolio and changes in the nature and volume of loan and lease activity. Such evaluation, which includes a review of all loans and leases for which full collectability may not be reasonably assured, considers the estimated fair market value of the underlying collateral, present value of expected principal and interest payments, economic conditions, historical loss experience and other factors that warrant recognition in providing for an adequate loan and lease loss allowance.

Although the Company’s management believes that the September 30, 2011, recorded allowance for loan and lease losses was adequate to provide for probable losses on the related loans and leases, there can be no assurance that the allowance existing at September 30, 2011 will be adequate in the future.

 

In accordance with the Company’s internal classification of assets policy, management evaluates the loan and lease portfolio on a monthly basis to identify loss potential and determines the adequacy of the allowance for loan and lease losses quarterly. Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when the collection of principal and/or interest becomes doubtful. Foreclosed assets include assets acquired in settlement of loans.

The allowance for loan and lease losses was $11.0 million at September 30, 2011, as compared to $14.3 million at June 30, 2011. This decrease is primarily attributable to $3.9 million in charge-offs made against the allowance in the quarter, of which $2.7 million had been specifically reserved in prior quarters.  The ratio of the allowance for loan and lease losses to total loans and leases was 1.35% at September 30, 2011, compared to 1.73% at June 30, 2011. The Company’s management has considered nonperforming assets and other assets of concern in establishing the allowance for loan and lease losses. The Company continues to monitor its allowance for possible loan and lease losses and make future additions or reductions in light of the level of loans and leases in its portfolio and as economic conditions dictate. The current level of the allowance for loan and lease losses is a result of management’s assessment of the risks within the portfolio based on the information revealed in credit reporting processes. The Company utilizes a risk-rating system on commercial business, agricultural, construction, multi-family and commercial real estate loans, including purchased loans. A periodic credit review is performed on all types of loans and leases to establish the necessary reserve based on the estimated risk within the portfolio. This assessment of risk takes into account the composition of the loan and lease portfolio, historical loss experience for each loan and lease category, previous loan and lease experience, concentrations of credit, current economic conditions and other factors that in management’s judgment deserve recognition. The Company’s methodology for determining allowance requirements on the Company’s loan and lease portfolio was reviewed during the most recent exam cycle by the OTS regulators and no required recommendations for changes in methodology in the allowances were presented.

Table of Contents

 

Real estate properties acquired through foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value (less a deduction for disposition costs). Valuations are periodically updated by management and a specific provision for losses on such properties is established by a charge to operations if the carrying values of the properties exceed their estimated net realizable values.

 

Although management believes that it uses the best information available to determine the allowances, unforeseen market conditions could result in adjustments and net income being significantly affected if circumstances differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the final determinations. Future additions to the Company’s allowances may result from periodic loan, property and collateral reviews and thus cannot be predicted in advance.

 

Comparison of the Three Months Ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010

 

General.  The Company’s net income was $1.4 million, or $0.21 in basic and diluted earnings per common share for the three months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to net income of $490,000, or $0.07 in basic and diluted earnings per common share for the same period in the prior fiscal year.  For the first quarter of fiscal 2012, the return on average equity and the return on average assets was 6.08% and 0.48%, respectively, compared to 2.06% and 0.16%, respectively, for the same period in the prior fiscal year.

 

Interest, Dividend and Loan Fee Income.  Interest, dividend and loan fee income was $12.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to $14.2 million for the same period in the prior fiscal year, a decrease of $1.3 million or 9.3%.  This decrease was primarily the result of a decrease in interest income within the loan portfolio.  Loans and leases receivable had an average yield of 5.53% for the three months ended September 30, 2011, which is 12 basis points less than the average yield of 5.65% for the three months ended September 30, 2010.  Investment securities had a decline in average yield of 49 basis points when comparing the first quarter of fiscal 2012 against the same period of the prior year, due primarily to the increase in the average balance of Federal Reserve demand deposits which yield a lower rate of return.  The average balance for loans and leases receivables for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 decreased $60.3 million, or 6.8% to $832.3 million when compared to the average balance of the first quarter of fiscal 2011.  The average balance of investment securities increased $31.1 million, or 12.0% to $289.5 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2012, when compared to the average balance of the same quarter of the prior fiscal year.  The revenue decrease attributable to the decrease in average interest-earning assets balances was $724,000, while the decrease attributed to the overall declining yield for interest-earning assets was $598,000.

 

Interest Expense.  Interest expense was $3.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $4.6 million for the same period in the prior fiscal year, a decrease of $795,000 or 17.4%.  The average balance of interest-bearing deposits decreased by $7.0 million, or 0.9%, due in part to a decrease in certificates of deposit average balances of $86.4 million, and substantially offset by an increase in savings and checking deposits of $79.4 million.  This resulted in a decrease in interest expense of $337,000 due to the change in the volume of deposits for the three months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to the same period of fiscal 2011.  In addition, a $118,000 decrease in interest expense was the result of a decrease in the average rate paid of 1.11% on interest-bearing deposits for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to an average rate paid of 1.32% for the three months ended September 30, 2010.  The net effect of interest-bearing deposits on interest expense due to rate and volume was a decrease of $455,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 as compared to the first quarter of 2011.  The average balance of FHLB advances and other borrowings decreased by $46.3 million, or 23.7% for the three month period ended September 30, 2011, as compared to the three month period ended September 30, 2010, while the rate increased to 3.10% from 3.03% for the respective quarters.  The resulting decrease in volume and increase in rate accounted for an overall decrease in interest expense of $795,000.  The average rate paid on total interest-bearing liabilities, which include interest-bearing deposits and liabilities, was 1.58% for the three months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to 1.80% for the same period in fiscal 2011.

 

Net Interest Income. The Company’s net interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2011, decreased $527,000 or 5.5%, to $9.1 million compared to $9.6 million for the same period in the prior fiscal year.  The net effect of the reduction of rates earned for interest-earning assets in excess of the reduction of rates paid for interest-bearing liabilities resulted in a net decrease in net interest income of $500,000.  In addition, the net decrease in volumes of interest-earning assets in excess of decreased volumes of interest-bearing liabilities resulted in a net decrease in net interest income of $27,000.  The Company’s Net Interest Margin, TE was 3.24% for the three months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to 3.33% for the three months ended September 30, 2010.  Net Interest Margin, TE is a non-GAAP

Provision for Losses on Loans and Leases. The allowance for loan and lease losses is maintained at a level which is considered by management to be adequate to absorb probable losses on existing loans and leases that may become uncollectible, based on an evaluation of the collectability of loans and leases and prior loan and lease loss experience.  The evaluation takes into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the loan and lease portfolio, overall portfolio quality, review of specific problem loans and leases, and current economic conditions that may affect the borrower’s ability to pay.  The allowance for loan and lease losses is established through a provision for losses on loans and leases charged to expense.  See “Asset Quality” above for further discussion.

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2011, the Company recorded a provision for losses on loans and leases of $522,000 compared to $3.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010.

 

Noninterest Income.  Noninterest income was $3.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2011, compared to $3.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, a decrease of $417,000.  This decrease is due primarily to a decrease in net gain on sale of loans and securities of $371,000 and $96,000, respectively.

 

Net gain on sale of loans decreased $371,000, primarily due to a decrease in mortgage loan activity and the related loan sales when compared to the same quarter of the prior year.  Net gain on the sale of securities totaled $301,000, a decrease of $96,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to the same period in fiscal 2011.

 

Noninterest Expense.  Noninterest expense was $9.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to $9.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010, an increase of $362,000, or 3.8%.  The primary factors in the overall increase were increases in compensation and employee benefits of $171,000 and professional fees of $245,000.

 

Compensation and employee benefits were $5.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011; an increase of $171,000 or 3.1% when compared to the three months ended September 30, 2010.  Employee compensation increased $231,000, or 5.7% when compared to the prior year’s quarter due to elevated compensation expenses primarily related to a one-time accrual resulting from an executive separation agreementNet healthcare costs, which are included in the total for compensation and employee benefits, decreased $142,000, or 24.2% to $445,000 when comparing the three month period ended September 30, 2011 to the same quarter in the prior year.  Management currently believes the self-insured structure is a reasonable alternative to traditional healthcare plans over the long term.  The level of healthcare costs which the Company incurs may vary from year to year.  Recruiting costs, also a part of compensation and employee benefits, increased by $49,000 to $56,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to September 30, 2010, due to costs incurred in the formal search for a CEO replacement, which has been previously reported.

 

Professional fees increased $245,000 to $836,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 2012 when compared to the three month period ended September 30, 2010.  These costs increased due in part to certain employment, regulatory and governance matters.

 

Income Tax Expense.  The Company’s income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was $711,000 compared to $123,000 for the same period in the prior fiscal year.  The effective tax rate was 33.0% and 20.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  The amount of permanent tax difference as a net deduction was a higher percentage to income before income taxes in the three month period ended September 30, 2010, which reduced the overall effective tax rate from the Company’s anticipated amount of 34%.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Bank’s primary sources of funds are earnings, in-market deposits, FHLB advances and other borrowings, repayments of loan principal, agency residential mortgage-backed securities and callable agency securities and, to a lesser extent, sales of mortgage loans, sales and maturities of securities, out-of-market deposits and short-term investments.  While scheduled loan payments and maturing securities are relatively predictable, deposit flows and loan and security prepayments are more influenced by interest rates, general economic conditions and competition. The Bank attempts to price its deposits to meet its asset/liability objectives consistent with local market conditions.  Excess balances are invested in overnight funds.

Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term responsibility of management. The Bank adjusts its investments in liquid assets based upon management’s assessment of (i) expected loan demand, (ii) projected loan sales, (iii) expected deposit flows, (iv) yields available on interest-bearing deposits, and (v) the objectives of its asset/liability management program. Excess liquidity is invested generally in interest-bearing overnight deposits and other short-term government and agency obligations.

 

Although in-market deposits is one of the Bank’s primary source of funds, the Bank’s policy has been to utilize borrowings where the funds can be invested in either loans or securities at a positive rate of return or to use the funds for short-term liquidity purposes. As of September 30, 2011, the Bank had the following sources of additional borrowings:

 

·                  $15.0 million in an uncommitted, unsecured line of federal funds with First Tennessee Bank, NA;

 

·                  $20.0 million in an uncommitted, unsecured line of federal funds with Zions Bank;

 

·                  $63.8 million of available credit from the Federal Reserve Bank; and

 

·                  $163.0 million of available credit from FHLB of Des Moines (after deducting outstanding borrowings with FHLB of Des Moines).

 

The Bank may also seek other sources of contingent liquidity including additional federal funds purchased lines with correspondent banks and lines of credit with the Federal Reserve Bank. There were no funds drawn on the uncommitted, unsecured lines of federal funds with First Tennessee Bank, NA and Zions Bank at September 30, 2011. The Bank, as a member of the FHLB of Des Moines, is required to acquire and hold shares of capital stock in the FHLB of Des Moines equal to 0.12% of the total assets of the Bank at December 31 annually. The Bank is also required to own activity-based stock, which is based on 4.45% of the Bank’s outstanding advances. These percentages are subject to change at the discretion of the FHLB Board of Directors.

 

The Company has an available line of credit with United Bankers’ Bank for liquidity needs of $4.0 million with no funds advanced at September 30, 2011. The Company has pledged 100% of Bank stock as collateral for this line of credit.

 

In addition to the above sources of additional borrowings, the Bank has implemented arrangements to acquire out-of-market certificates of deposit as an additional source of funding. As of September 30, 2011, the Bank had $14.0 million in out-of-market certificates of deposit.

 

The Bank anticipates that it will have sufficient funds available to meet current loan commitments. At September 30, 2011, the Bank had outstanding commitments to originate and purchase mortgage and commercial loans of $25.3 million and to sell mortgage loans of $23.0 million. Commitments by the Bank to originate loans are not necessarily executed by the customer. The Bank monitors the ratio of commitments to funding for use in liquidity management. At September 30, 2011, the Bank had outstanding commitments to purchase $3.3 million of investment securities available for sale.

 

The Company uses its capital resources to pay dividends to its stockholders, to support organic growth, to make acquisitions, to service its debt obligations and to provide funding for investment into the Bank of Tier 1 (core) capital.

 

Savings institutions insured by the FDIC are required to meet three regulatory capital requirements. If a requirement is not met, regulatory authorities may take legal or administrative actions, including restrictions on growth or operations or, in extreme cases, seizure. Institutions not in compliance may apply for an exemption from the requirements and submit a recapitalization plan. Under these capital requirements, at September 30, 2011, the Bank met all current capital requirements.

 

The OCC has adopted capital requirements for savings institutions comparable to the requirement for national banks. The minimum OCC core capital requirement for well-capitalized institutions is 5% of total adjusted assets. The Bank had Tier 1 (core) capital of 9.63% at September 30, 2011. The minimum OCC risk-based capital requirement for well-capitalized institutions is 10% of risk-weighted assets. The Bank had risk-based capital of 13.79% at September 30, 2011.

The Company has entered into interest rate swap contracts which are classified as cash flow hedge contracts or non-designated derivative contracts. At September 30, 2011, the total notional amount of interest rate swap contracts was $75.8 million with a fair value net loss of $5.1 million. The Company is exposed to losses if the counterparties fail to make their payments under the contract in which the Company is in a receiving status. The Company minimizes its risk by monitoring the credit standing of the counterparties. The Company anticipates the counterparties will be able to fully satisfy their obligations under the remaining agreements. See Note 12 of “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” of this Form 10-Q for additional information.

 

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

 

The unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering the change in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The impact of inflation is reflected in the increased cost of the Bank’s operations. Unlike most industrial companies, nearly all the assets and liabilities of the Bank are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a greater impact on the Bank’s performance than do the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the prices of goods and services.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2011, FASB issued ASU 2011-04 “Fair Value Measurement” (ASC Topic 820).  This update provides a global standard for applying fair value measurement and clarifies three points in topic 820.  First, only non-financial assets should be valued via a determination of their best use.  Second, an instrument in shareholder’s equity should be measured from the perspective of an investor or trader who owns that instrument.  Third, data will need to be provided and methods disclosed for assets valued in level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning December 15, 2011 and early adoption is not permitted.  The Company does not expect the adoption to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flow.

 

In June 2011, FASB issued ASU 2011-05 “Comprehensive Income” (ASC Topic 220). This updated requires the presentation of comprehensive income in financial statements.  An entity has the option to present the total comprehensive income, the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements.  The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and the interim periods within those years, beginning December 15, 2011 and early adoption is permitted.  The Company anticipates adopting this update in the first quarter of fiscal 2013 and does not expect the adoption to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flow.

 

In September 2011, FASB issued ASU 2011-08 “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other” (ASC Topic 350). The objective of this update is to simplify how entities test goodwill for impairment. This update adds a qualitative analysis to step one of the two-step process, which enables the Company to qualitatively determine if it is more likely than not that goodwill impairment exists, and if not, skip step two in determination of the amount of goodwill impairment.  The guidance is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, but early adoption is permitted.  The Company anticipates adopting this update in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 and does not expect the adoption to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flow.

 

Since September 9, 2011, the date of our previously filed annual report, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-08 and ASU No. 2011-09. ASU 2011-09 is not applicable to consolidated financial statements of the Company.

 

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Interest Rate Risk Management

 

The Company’s net income is largely dependent on its net interest income. Net interest income is susceptible to interest rate risk to the degree that interest-bearing liabilities with short- and medium-term maturities mature or reprice more rapidly than its interest-earning assets. When interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice more quickly than interest-earning assets in a given period, a significant increase in market rates of interest could adversely affect net

interest income. Similarly, when interest-earning assets mature or reprice more quickly than interest-bearing liabilities, falling interest rates could result in a decrease in net income.

 

In an attempt to manage its exposure to change in interest rates, management monitors the Company’s interest rate risk. The Company’s Asset/Liability Committee meets periodically to review the Company’s interest rate risk position and profitability, and to recommend adjustments for consideration by executive management. Management also reviews the Bank’s securities portfolio, formulates investment strategies, and oversees the timing and implementation of transactions to assure attainment of the Board’s objectives in the most effective manner. In managing market risk and the asset/liability mix, the Bank has placed its emphasis on developing a portfolio in which, to the extent practicable, assets and liabilities reprice within similar periods. Notwithstanding the Company’s interest rate risk management activities, the potential for changing interest rates is an uncertainty which may have an adverse effect on net income.

 

The Company adjusts its asset/liability position to mitigate the Company’s interest rate risk. At times, depending on the level of general interest rates, the relationship between long- and short-term interest rates, market conditions and competitive factors, management may increase the Company’s interest rate risk position in order to increase its net interest margin. The Company’s results of operations and net portfolio values remain vulnerable to increases in interest rates and to fluctuations in the difference between long- and short-term interest rates.

 

As set forth below, the volatility of a rate change, the change in asset or liability mix of the Company or other factors may produce a decrease in net interest margin in an upward moving rate environment even as the net portfolio value (“NPV”) estimate indicates an increase in net value. The inverse situation may also occur. One approach used by the Company to quantify interest rate risk is an NPV analysis. This analysis calculates the difference between the present value of the liabilities and the present value of expected cash flows from assets and off-balance sheet contracts. The following tables set forth, at September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, an analysis of the Company’s interest rate risk as measured by the estimated changes in NPV resulting from instantaneous and sustained parallel shifts in the yield curve. Management does not believe that the Company has experienced any material changes in its market risk position from that disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2011 or that the Company’s primary market risk exposures and how those exposures were managed during the three months ended September 30, 2011 changed significantly when compared to June 30, 2011.

 

Even if interest rates change in the designated amounts, there can be no assurance that the Company’s assets and liabilities would perform as set forth below. In addition, a change in U.S. Treasury rates in the designated amounts accompanied by a change in the shape of the Treasury yield curve would cause significantly different changes to the NPV than indicated below.

In managing market risk and the asset/liability mix, the Bank has placed an emphasis on developing a portfolio in which, to the extent practicable, assets and liabilities reprice within similar periods. The goal of this policy is to provide a relatively consistent level of net interest income in varying interest rate cycles and to minimize the potential for significant fluctuations from period to period.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

As of September 30, 2011, an evaluation was performed by the Company’s management, including the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer and the Company’s Senior Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports the Company files and submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer and the Company’s Senior Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2011. There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the first quarter ended September 30, 2011, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

 

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

The Company, the Bank and each of their subsidiaries are, from time to time, involved as plaintiff or defendant in various legal actions arising in the normal course of their businesses. While the ultimate outcome of any such proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, it is generally the opinion of management, after consultation with counsel representing the Bank and the Company in any such proceedings, the resolution of any such proceedings should not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations. The Company, the Bank and each of their subsidiaries are not aware of any legal actions or other proceedings contemplated by governmental authorities outside of the normal course of business.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

The discussion of our business and operations should be read together with the risk factors contained in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, which describe various risks and uncertainties to which we are or may become subject. These risks and uncertainties have the potential to affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, strategies or prospects in a material and adverse manner.
