Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This report includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning and protections of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act.  All statements other than statements of historical fact are statements that could be forward-looking statements.  You can identify these forward-looking statements through our use of words such as “may,” “will,” “anticipate,” “assume,” “should,” “indicate,” “would,” “believe,” “contemplate,” “expect,” “estimate,” “continue,” “plan,”  “project,” “could,” “intend,” “target” and other similar words and expressions of the future. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:

  
statements of our goals, intentions and expectations;
  
statements regarding our business plans, prospects, growth and operating strategies;
  
statements regarding the asset quality of our loan and investment portfolios; and
  
estimates of our risks and future costs and benefits.

These forward-looking statements are based on current beliefs and expectations of our management and are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control. In addition, these forward-looking statements are subject to assumptions with respect to future business strategies and decisions that are subject to change.

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

  
changes in laws or government regulations or policies affecting financial institutions, including changes in regulatory fees and capital requirements;
  
general economic conditions, either nationally or in our market areas, that are worse than expected;
  
competition among depository and other financial institutions;
  
changes in the prices, values and sales volume of residential and commercial real estate in Montana;
  
inflation and changes in the interest rate environment that reduce our margins or reduce the fair value of financial instruments;
  
changes or volatility in the securities markets;
  
our ability to enter new markets successfully and capitalize on growth opportunities;
  
our ability to successfully integrate acquired entities or businesses;
  
the possibility of goodwill impairment charges in the future;
  
changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits;
  
our ability to continue to increase and manage our commercial and residential real estate, multi-family, and commercial business loans;
  
possible impairments of securities held by us, including those issued by government entities and government sponsored enterprises;
  
the level of future deposit premium assessments;
  
the impact of the current economic conditions on our loan portfolio (including cash flow and collateral values), investment portfolio, customers and capital market activities;
  
the impact of recently enacted legislation to restructure the U.S. financial and regulatory system, including proposals to reform the housing markets and government-sponsored enterprises serving such markets;
  
the failure of assumptions underlying the establishment of allowance for possible loan losses and other estimates;
  
changes in the financial performance and/or condition of our borrowers and their ability to repay their loans when due; and
  
the effect of changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the regulatory agencies, as well as the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the Financial Accounting Standards Board and other accounting standard setters.

Because of these and other uncertainties, our actual future results may be materially different from the results indicated by these forward-looking statements.  For a further list and description of various risks, relevant factors and uncertainties that could cause future results or events to differ materially from those expressed or implied in our forward-looking statements, see the Item 1A, “Risk Factors” and Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” sections contained elsewhere in this report, as well as our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013, any subsequent Reports on Form 10-Q and Form 8-K, and other filings with the SEC.  We do not undertake any obligation to publicly update or correct any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that subsequently occur, or of which we hereafter become aware.

NOTE 2. INVESTMENT SECURITIES - continued

In evaluating debt securities for other-than-temporary impairment losses, management assesses whether the Company intends to sell or if it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell impaired debt securities.  In doing so, management considers contractual constraints, liquidity, capital, asset/liability management and securities portfolio objectives.  With respect to its impaired debt securities at March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013, management determined that it does not intend to sell and that there is no expected requirement to sell any of its impaired debt securities.

As of March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013, there were, respectively, 119 and 126 securities in an unrealized loss position and were considered to be temporarily impaired and therefore an impairment charge has not been recorded.  All of such temporarily impaired investments are debt securities.

At March 31, 2014, 11 U.S. government and agency obligations had unrealized losses with aggregate depreciation of approximately 2.43% from the Company’s amortized cost basis of these securities.  We believe these unrealized losses are principally due to interest rate movements.  As such, the Company determined that none of such securities had other-than-temporary impairment.

At March 31, 2014, 5 corporate obligations had unrealized losses of approximately 1.66% from the Company’s amortized cost basis of this security.  We believe these unrealized losses are principally due to interest rate movements.  As such, the Company determined that none of this security had other-than-temporary impairment.

At March 31, 2014, 86 municipal obligations had unrealized losses with aggregate depreciation of approximately 7.47% from the Company’s amortized cost basis of these securities.  We believe these unrealized losses are principally due to interest rate movements and recent credit concerns in the overall municipal bond market.  As such, the Company determined that none of such securities had other-than-temporary impairment.

At March 31, 2014, 17 mortgage backed and CMO securities had unrealized losses with aggregate depreciation of approximately 3.66% from the Company’s cost basis of these securities.  We believe these unrealized losses are principally due to the credit market’s concerns regarding the stability of the mortgage market.  Management considers available evidence to assess whether it is more likely than not that all amounts due would not be collected.  In such assessment, management considers the severity and duration of the impairment, the credit ratings of the security, the overall deal and payment structure, including the Company's position within the structure, underlying obligor, financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer, delinquencies, defaults, loss severities, recoveries, prepayments, cumulative loss projections, discounted cash flows and fair value estimates.  There has been no disruption of the scheduled cash flows on any of the securities.  Management’s analysis as of March 31, 2014 revealed no expected credit losses on these securities.

At June 30, 2013, 98 U.S. Government and agency securities and municipal obligations had unrealized losses with aggregate depreciation of approximately 6.96% from the Company's amortized cost basis. These unrealized losses were principally due to changes in interest rates and credit spreads.  As management has the ability to hold debt securities until maturity, or for the foreseeable future if classified as available for sale, no declines are deemed to be other than temporary.

At June 30, 2013, 5 corporate obligations had unrealized losses with aggregate depreciation of approximately 2.96% from the Company's cost basis. This unrealized loss is principally due to changes in interest rates. No credit issues have been identified that caused management to believe the declines in market value were other than temporary. As management has the ability to hold debt securities until maturity, or for the foreseeable future if classified as available for sale, no declines are deemed to be other than temporary.

At June 30, 2013, 23 mortgage backed and CMO securities had unrealized losses with aggregate depreciation of approximately 3.79% from the Company’s cost basis. We believed these unrealized losses were principally due to the credit market’s concerns regarding the stability of the mortgage market. There has been no disruption of the scheduled cash flows on any of the securities. Management’s analysis as of June 30, 2013 revealed no expected credit losses on the securities.

NOTE 3. LOANS RECEIVABLE – continued

The Company utilizes a 5 point internal loan rating system, largely based on regulatory classifications, for 1-4 family real estate, commercial real estate, construction, home equity and commercial loans as follows:

Loans rated Pass: these are loans that are considered to be protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor, or by the value of the asset or the underlying collateral.

Loans rated Special Mention: these loans have potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention.  If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset at some future date.

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

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

Loans rated Loss: these loans are considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as assets without establishment of a specific reserve is not warranted.  This classification does not mean that an asset has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but, rather, that it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off a basically worthless asset even though practical recovery may be affected in the future.

On an annual basis, or more often if needed, the Company formally reviews the ratings of all commercial real estate, construction, and commercial business loans that have a principal balance of $500,000 or more. Quarterly, the Company reviews the rating of any consumer loan, broadly defined, that is delinquent 90 days or more.  Likewise, quarterly, the Company reviews the rating of any commercial loan, broadly defined, that is delinquent 60 days or more.  Annually, the Company engages an independent third-party to review a significant portion of loans within these segments. Management uses the results of these reviews as part of its annual review process.

NOTE 4. TROUBLED DEBT RESTRUCTURINGS

The Company adopted the amendments in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-02 during the quarter ended December 31, 2011. As required, the Company reassessed all restructurings that occurred on or after the beginning of the current fiscal year (July 1, 2011) for identification as troubled debt restructurings. The Company identified as troubled debt restructurings certain receivables for which the allowance for credit losses had previously been measured under a general allowance for credit losses methodology (ASC 450-20). Upon identifying the reassessed receivables as troubled debt restructurings, the Company also identified them as impaired under the guidance in ASC 310-10-35. The amendments in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-02 require prospective application of the impairment measurement guidance in Section 310-10-35 for those receivables newly identified as impaired.  As of March 31, 2014, the recorded investment in receivables for which the allowance for credit losses was previously measured under a general allowance for credit losses methodology and are now impaired under Section 310-10-35 was $214,000 (310-40-65-1(b)), and the allowance for credit losses associated with those receivables, on the basis of a current evaluation of loss, was $120,000 (310-40-65-1(b)).

The Bank’s policy is that loans placed on non-accrual will typically remain on non-accrual status until all principal and interest payments are brought current and the prospect for future payment in accordance with the loan agreement appears relatively certain.  The Bank’s policy generally refers to six months of payment performance as sufficient to warrant a return to accrual status.

NOTE 7. DIVIDENDS AND STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM
 
For the fiscal year July 1, 2012 through June 30, 2013, Eagle paid dividends of $0.07125 per share for the first three quarters and paid $0.0725 per share in the fourth quarter.  A dividend of $0.0725 per share was declared on July 26, 2013, and paid September 6, 2013 to stockholders of record on August 16, 2013.  A dividend of $0.0725 per share was declared on October 29, 2013, and paid December 6, 2013 to shareholders of record on November 15, 2013.  A dividend of $0.0725 per share was declared on January 23, 2014, and paid March 7, 2014 to shareholders of record on February 14, 2014.  A dividend of $0.0725 per share was declared on April 24, 2014, payable on June 6, 2014 to shareholders of record on May 16, 2014.

On July 1, 2013, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized a common stock repurchase program for 150,000 shares of common stock, effective July 1, 2013.  The program is intended to be implemented through purchases made from time to time in the open market or through private transactions.

The Company did not purchase any shares of our common stock during the nine months ended March 31, 2014.

NOTE 8. DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

The Company is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations. The primary risk managed by using derivative instruments is interest rate risk. The Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement on August 27, 2010 with a third party to manage interest rate risk associated with a fixed-rate loan.  The interest rate swap agreement effectively converted the loan’s fixed rate into a variable rate. Derivatives and hedging accounting requires that the Company recognize all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the statement of financial position. In accordance with this guidance, the Company designates the interest rate swap on this fixed-rate loan as a fair value hedge.

NOTE 8. DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES - continued

The Company is exposed to credit-related losses in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties to this agreement. The Company controls the credit risk of its financial contracts through credit approvals, limits and monitoring procedures, and does not expect any counterparties to fail their obligations. The Company deals only with primary dealers.

If certain hedging criteria specified in derivatives and hedging accounting guidance are met, including testing for hedge effectiveness, hedge accounting may be applied. The hedge effectiveness assessment methodologies for similar hedges are performed in a similar manner and are used consistently throughout the hedging relationships.

The hedge documentation specifies the terms of the hedged item and the interest rate swap. The documentation also indicates that the derivative is hedging a fixed-rate item, that the hedge exposure is to the changes in the fair value of the hedged item, and that the strategy is to eliminate fair value variability by converting fixed-rate interest payments to variable-rate interest payments.

For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a fair value hedge, the gain or loss on the derivative as well as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in current earnings. The Company includes the gain or loss on the hedged items in the same line item—noninterest income—as the offsetting loss or gain on the related interest rate swap.

The hedged fixed rate loan has an original maturity of 20 years and is not callable.  This loan is hedged with a “pay fixed rate, receive variable rate” swap with a similar notional amount, maturity, and fixed rate coupons. The swap is not callable. At March 31, 2014, and June 30, 2013, the loan had an outstanding principal balance of $10,924,000, and $11,191,000 and the interest rate swap had a notional value of $10,924,000, and $11,191,000, respectively.

Derivative loan commitments – Mortgage loan commitments are referred to as derivative loan commitments if the loan that will result from exercise of the commitment will be held for sale upon funding. The Company enters into commitments to fund residential mortgage loans at specified times in the future, with the intention that these loans will subsequently be sold in the secondary market. A mortgage loan commitment binds the Company to lend funds to a potential borrower at a specified interest rate and within a specified period of time, generally up to 60 days after inception of the rate lock.

Outstanding derivative loan commitments expose the Company to the risk that the price of the loans arising from exercise of the loan commitment might decline from inception of the rate lock to funding of the loan due to increases in mortgage interest rates.  If interest rates increase, the value of these loan commitments decreases. Conversely, if interest rates decrease, the value of these loan commitments increases.  The notional amount of interest rate lock commitments was $4,189,000 and $7,076,000 at March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013, respectively.  The fair value of such commitments was insignificant.

The Company has no other off-balance-sheet arrangements or transactions with unconsolidated, special purpose entities that would expose the Company to liability that is not reflected on the face of the financial statements.

NOTE 9. FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES

FASB ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. The price in the principal (or most advantageous) market used to measure the fair value of the asset or liability shall not be adjusted for transaction costs. An orderly transaction is a transaction that assumes exposure to the market for a period prior to the measurement date to allow for marketing activities that are usual and customary for transactions involving such assets and liabilities; it is not a forced transaction. Market participants are buyers and sellers in the principal market that are (i) independent, (ii) knowledgeable, (iii) able to transact and, (iv) willing to transact.

FASB ASC 820 requires the use of valuation techniques that are consistent with the market approach, the income approach and/or the cost approach. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets and liabilities. The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts, such as cash flows or earnings, to a single present amount on a discounted basis. The cost approach is based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement costs). Valuation techniques should be consistently applied. Inputs to valuation techniques refer to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Inputs may be observable, meaning those that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from independent sources, or unobservable, meaning those that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. In that regard, FASB ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy for valuation inputs that gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs.

NOTE 9. FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES – continued

The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

Level 1 Inputs - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date, or convert to cash in the short term.

Level 2 Inputs - Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (for example, interest rates, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

Level 3 Inputs - Significant unobservable inputs that reflect an entity’s own assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.

A description of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, is set forth below.

In general, fair value is based upon quoted market prices, where available. If such quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed models that primarily use, as inputs, observable market-based parameters. Valuation adjustments may be made to ensure that financial instruments are recorded at fair value. While management believes the Company’s valuation methodologies are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date.

Available for Sale Securities – Securities classified as available for sale are reported at fair value utilizing Level 1 and Level 2 inputs. For these securities, the Company obtains fair value measurements from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U. S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayments speeds, credit information and the bond’s terms and conditions, among other things.

Impaired Loans – Impaired loans are reported at the fair value of the underlying collateral if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. Collateral values are estimated using Level 3 inputs based on internally customized discounting criteria.

Loans Held for Sale – These loans are reported at fair value. Fair value is determined based on expected proceeds based on sales contracts and commitments and are considered Level 2 inputs.

Repossessed Assets – Fair values are valued at the time the loan is foreclosed upon and the asset is transferred from loans.  The value is based upon primary third party appraisals, less costs to sell.  The appraisals are generally discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of valuation, and/or management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and client’s business.  Such discounts are typically significant and result in Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.  Repossessed assets are reviewed and evaluated on at least a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly, based on same or similar factors above.

Loan Subject to Fair Value Hedge – The Company has one loan that is carried at fair value subject to a fair value hedge.  Fair value is determined utilizing valuation models that consider the scheduled cash flows through anticipated maturity and is considered a Level 2 input.

Derivative financial instruments – Fair values for interest rate swap agreements are based upon the amounts required to settle the contracts.  These instruments are valued using Level 3 inputs utilizing valuation models that consider: (a) time value, (b) volatility factors and (c) current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures.  Although the Company utilizes counterparties’ valuations to assess the reasonableness of its prices and valuation techniques, there is not sufficient corroborating market evidence to support classifying these assets and liabilities as Level 2.

During the nine months ended March 31, 2014, certain impaired loans were remeasured and reported at fair value through a specific valuation allowance allocation of the allowance for possible loan losses based upon the fair value of the underlying collateral. Impaired loans with a carrying value of $1,100,000 were reduced by specific valuation allowance allocations totaling $236,000 to a total reported fair value of $864,000 based on collateral valuations utilizing Level 3 valuation inputs.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the fair value of the following classes of financial instruments.  However, the 2013 Form 10-K provides additional description of valuation methodologies used in estimating fair value of these financial instruments.

Cash, interest-bearing accounts, accrued interest and dividend receivable, and accrued expenses and other liabilities – The carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the relatively short period of time between the origination of these instruments and their expected realization.

Stock in the FHLB – The fair value of stock in the FHLB approximates redemption value.

Loans receivable – Fair values are estimated by stratifying the loan portfolio into groups of loans with similar financial characteristics.  Loans are segregated by type such as real estate, commercial, and consumer, with each category further segmented into fixed and adjustable rate interest terms.  For mortgage loans, the Company uses the secondary market rates in effect for loans that have similar characteristics.  The fair value of other fixed rate loans is calculated by discounting scheduled cash flows through the anticipated maturities adjusted for prepayment estimates.  Adjustable interest rate loans are assumed to approximate fair value because they generally reprice within the short term.

Fair values are adjusted for credit risk based on assessment of risk identified with specific loans, and risk adjustments on the remaining portfolio based on credit loss experience.

Assumptions regarding credit risk are judgmentally determined using specific borrower information, internal credit quality analysis, and historical information on segmented loan categories for non-specific borrowers.

NOTE 9. FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES - continued

Mortgage servicing rights – The fair value of servicing rights was determined using discount rates ranging from 9.0% to 20.0%, prepayment speeds ranging from 140% to 324% PSA, depending on stratification of the specific right.  The fair value was also adjusted for the effect of potential past dues and foreclosures.

Deposits and time certificates of deposit – The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as checking, passbook, and money market, is equal to the amount payable on demand.  The fair value of time certificates of deposit is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows.  The discount rate is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar maturities.

Advances from the FHLB & Subordinated Debentures – The fair value of the Company’s advances and debentures are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis based on the interest rate that would be effective March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013, respectively if the borrowings repriced according to their stated terms.

Off-balance-sheet instruments - Fair values for off-balance-sheet, credit-related financial instruments are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing.  The fair values of these financial instruments are considered insignificant.  Additionally, those financial instruments have no carrying value.

NOTE 10. BUSINESS COMBINATION

On June 29, 2012, the Company and Sterling Savings Bank, a Washington state-chartered bank (“Sterling”) entered into a Purchase and Assumption Agreement (the “Agreement”) pursuant to which Eagle agreed to purchase Sterling’s banking operations in the state of Montana, including seven branch locations, certain deposit liabilities, loans and other assets and liabilities associated with such branch locations.   The actual amount of deposits, loans and value of other assets and liabilities transferred to Eagle and the actual price paid was determined at the time of the closing of the transaction, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Agreement.  The closing of the transaction was subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement. The transaction was completed on November 30, 2012.  The purchase price was $8.07 million and exceeded the estimated fair value of tangible net assets acquired by approximately $8.07 million, which was recorded as goodwill and intangible assets.

Cash flow information relative to the asset purchase agreement is as follows (in thousands):
 
Fair value of net assets acquired
  $ 182,463  
Cash paid for deposit premium
    (8,065 )
Liabilities assumed
    (182,463 )
         
Goodwill and intangible assets recorded
  $ (8,065 )

The primary purpose of the acquisition is to expand the Company’s market share in southern Montana provide existing customers with added convenience and service and to provide our new customers with the opportunity to enjoy the outstanding personalized service and commitment of a Montana-based community bank.  Factors that contributed to a purchase price resulting in goodwill include the strategically important locations of Sterling’s branches, a historical record of earnings, capable employees and the Company’s ability to expand in the southern Montana market, which will complement with the Company’s existing growth strategy.  Fair value adjustments and related goodwill are recorded in the statement of financial condition of the Company.  Final valuation adjustments of $144,000 were recorded during the quarter ended December 31, 2013 and impacted goodwill.

We estimated the fair value for most loans to be acquired from Sterling by utilizing a methodology wherein loans with comparable characteristics were aggregated by type of collateral, remaining maturity, and repricing terms.  Cash flows for each pool were determined by estimating future credit losses and the rate of prepayments.  Projected monthly cash flows were then discounted to present value using a risk-adjusted market rate for similar loans.  To estimate the fair value of the remaining loans, we analyzed the value of the underlying collateral of the loans, assuming the fair values of the loans were derived from the eventual sale of the collateral.  The value of the collateral was based on recently completed appraisals adjusted to the valuation date based on recognized industry indices.  We discounted those values using market derived rates of return, with consideration given to the period of time and costs associated with the foreclosure and disposition of the collateral.  There will be no carryover of Sterling’s allowance for loan losses associated with the loans we acquired as the loans will be initially recorded at fair value.

Information about the Sterling loan portfolio that was acquired, at the acquisition date, is as follows (in thousands):
 
Contractually required principal and interest at acquisition
  $ 41,223  
Contractual cash flows not expected to be collected (nonaccretable discount)

    40,454  
Interest component of expected cash flows (accretable discount)
    869  
         
Fair value of acquired loans
  $ 41,323  
 
The core deposit intangible asset that was recognized as part of the business combination was $1.0 million and will be amortized over its estimated useful life of approximately ten years utilizing an accelerated method. The goodwill, which will not be amortized for financial statement purposes, will be deductible for tax purposes.

The fair value of savings and transaction deposit accounts acquired from Sterling was assumed to approximate the carrying value as these accounts have no stated maturity and are payable on demand.  Certificates of deposit were valued by comparing the contractual cost of the portfolio to an identical portfolio bearing current market rates.  The projected cash flows from maturing certificates were calculated based on contractual rates.  The fair value of the certificates of deposit was calculated by discounting their contractual cash flows at a market rate for a certificate of deposit with a corresponding maturity.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
 
Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

The Company’s primary activity is its ownership of its wholly owned subsidiary, American Federal Savings Bank (the “Bank”).  The Bank is a federally chartered savings bank, engaging in typical banking activities:  acquiring deposits from local markets and originating loans and investing in securities.  Recent federal legislation mandated that the consolidated regulatory functions of The Office of Thrift Supervision (“OTS”) over the Bank and the Company be transferred to two federal agencies and that the OTS be merged into the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the “OCC”).  Thus, as a result of the enactment in July of 2010 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”), the Federal Reserve Board (the “FRB”) became, as of July 21, 2011, the principal federal bank regulatory agency for the Company and the OCC the principal federal regulator for the Bank.  The Bank’s charter was not affected and the Bank continues to operate as a federal stock savings bank. Its deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.  Because the Dodd-Frank Act did not eliminate the thrift charter under which the Bank has historically operated, the Bank’s traditional lending and investment activities have not been affected.

The primary component of the Bank’s earnings is its net interest margin (also called spread or margin), the difference between interest income and interest expense.  The net interest margin is managed by management (through the pricing of its products and by the types of products offered and kept in portfolio), and is affected by changes in market interest rates.  The Bank also generates noninterest income in the form of fee income and gain on sale of loans.

The Bank has a strong mortgage lending focus, with the majority of its loan originations represented by single-family residential mortgages.  The Bank has also successfully marketed home equity loans to its customers, as well as a wide range of shorter term consumer loans for various personal needs (automobiles, recreational vehicles, etc.).  In recent years the Bank has focused on adding commercial loans to its portfolio, both real estate and non-real estate.  The purpose of this diversification is to mitigate the Bank’s dependence on the residential mortgage market, as well as to improve its ability to manage its spread.  The Bank’s management recognizes the need for sources of fee income to complement its margin, and the Bank now maintains a significant loan servicing portfolio which generates income.  Gain on sale of loans also provides significant fee or noninterest income in periods of high mortgage loan origination volumes.  Such income will be adversely affected in periods of lower mortgage activity.  Fee income is also supplemented with fees generated from the Bank’s deposit accounts, its mortgage banking business and its wealth management business.  The Bank has a high percentage of non-maturity deposits, such as checking accounts and savings accounts, which allows management flexibility in managing its spread.  Non-maturity deposits do not automatically reprice as interest rates rise, as do certificates of deposit.
 
For the past several years, management’s focus has been on improving the Bank’s core earnings.  Core earnings can be described as income before taxes, with the exclusion of gain on sale of loans and adjustments to the market value of the Bank’s loan servicing portfolio.  Management believes that the Bank will need to continue to focus on increasing net interest margin, other areas of fee income, and control of operating expenses to achieve earnings growth going forward.  Management’s strategy of growing the Bank’s loan portfolio and deposit base is expected to help achieve these goals as follows:  loans typically earn higher rates of return than investments; a larger deposit base should yield higher fee income; increasing the asset base will reduce the relative impact of fixed operating costs.  The biggest challenge to the strategy is funding the growth of the Bank’s balance sheet in an efficient manner.  Deposit growth will be difficult to maintain due to significant competition for deposits in the Bank’s market area, and it is likely that wholesale funding (which is usually more expensive than retail deposits) will be needed to supplement it.

The level and movement of interest rates impacts the Bank’s earnings as well.  The Federal Reserve’s Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) did not change the federal funds target rate which remained at 0.25% during the nine months ended March 31, 2014.

Acquisition of Sterling Savings Bank Branches

From time to time the Bank has considered growth through mergers or acquisition as an alternative to its strategy of organic growth. In this connection, on June 29, 2012, the Bank entered into a definitive agreement with Sterling Savings Bank, a Washington state-chartered bank, to acquire Sterling’s banking operations in the state of Montana, including seven branch locations, certain deposit liabilities, loans and other assets and liabilities associated with such branch locations.   As a result of this acquisition, which closed on November 30, 2012, the Bank acquired approximately $182.5 million in additional assets, including approximately $41.3 million of pass-rated performing loans and assumed $181.6 million in new deposits.  The Bank has experienced an increase in mortgage loan originations due to the Sterling acquisition.  Deposit fee income has also increased due to the increase in the number of accounts.  Operating expenses, primarily salaries and employee benefits have increased as a result of the acquisition.  The Bank is currently engaged in a review of staffing and other efficiency measures which it expects will reduce operating expenses in the upcoming fiscal year.  The Bank received approximately $130.0 million in cash in the transaction, which may not be able to be immediately used to fund loans. While a substantial amount of the cash has been invested in securities, it may require additional time to deploy all of the proceeds to fund loans.

Overview – continued

Acquisition of Sterling Savings Bank Branches – continued

The branch acquisition complements the Bank’s existing growth strategy by expanding into the southern Montana market and more than doubling the Bank’s retail branch network from six to 13 locations.  Of the seven acquired branches six are in new markets for the Bank, including two in Missoula, one in Billings, and one each in Hamilton, Livingston and Big Timber. The seventh is in Bozeman where the Bank already has a presence.  After the acquisition, the Bank became the sixth largest Montana-based banking institution.

In addition, the transaction also strengthens the Bank’s mortgage origination franchise and adds a wealth management business headquartered in Bozeman, Montana.  The addition of Sterling’s Montana mortgage banking unit will double the Bank’s mortgage banking business.  This increase in the mortgage banking business and the addition of a wealth management business is expected to increase the Bank’s noninterest income and further the Bank’s strategy to increase fee income to complement its margin.

Financial Condition

Comparisons of financial condition in this section are between March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013.

Total assets at March 31, 2014 were $519.83 million, an increase of $9.30 million, or 1.8%, from $510.53 million at June 30, 2013.  Loans receivable increased by $43.91 million, or 20.5%, to $258.59 million at March 31, 2014, from $214.68 million at June 30, 2013.  The components of the increase were residential mortgage loans increasing by $18.06 million, commercial real estate loans increasing by $15.50 million and commercial loans increasing by $7.70 million.  Home equity, consumer loans and construction loans also increased.  Total loan originations were $217.79 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2014, with single family mortgages accounting for $155.51 million of the total.  Home equity and construction loan originations totaled $9.06 million and $10.27 million, respectively, for the same period. Commercial real estate and land loan originations totaled $27.76 million.  Consumer loans originated totaled $5.79 million.  Commercial loans originated totaled $9.40 million, with $3.34 million originating from loan syndication programs with borrowers residing outside of Montana. Loans held-for-sale decreased $11.4 million, to $9.41 million at March 31, 2014 from $20.81 million at June 30, 2013.  One of the chief objectives of the Sterling branch acquisition was to expand the Bank’s footprint across southern Montana.  The amount of loans acquired was relatively small in comparison to the deposits, which led to the Bank’s loan to deposit ratio declining substantially.  The Bank’s strategy has been to actively market and solicit commercial and commercial real estate loans while using investment portfolio proceeds to help fund the loan growth.

Total cash and cash equivalents increased by $3.13 million, and securities available-for-sale decreased $27.68 million.  Almost all security categories decreased during the period with the largest decrease in the collateralized mortgage obligation category of $12.77 million, or 26.8%.

Deposits increased $21.05 million, or 5.0%, to $438.80 million at March 31, 2014 from $417.75 million at June 30, 2013. Growth occurred across most deposit products with the exception of time certificates of deposits which decreased slightly during the period.  Management attributes the organic increase in deposits to increased marketing of checking accounts as well as customers’ preference for placing funds in secure, federally insured accounts.

The ability of the Bank to continue to attract retail deposits during the period enabled the Bank to decrease wholesale funding.  Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank and other borrowings decreased $11.65 million, or 33.4%, to $23.21 million at March 31, 2014 from $34.86 million at June 30, 2013.

Total stockholders’ equity increased $267,000 or 0.5%, to $49.50 million at March 31, 2014 from $49.23 million at June 30, 2013.  This was a result of net income of $1.25 million, partially offset by an increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss of $459,000 (mainly due to an increase in net unrealized losses on securities available-for-sale) and dividends paid of $852,000.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2014 and 2013

Net Income.  Eagle’s net income was $108,000 versus $907,000 for the quarter ending March 31, 2013.  The decrease of $799,000 was due to a significant decline in noninterest income of $1.15 million and a reduction in an income tax benefit of $636,000 in the third quarter of 2013.    The decline in noninterest income was partially offset by an increase in net interest income of $245,000 and a decrease in noninterest expense of $754,000.  Basic earnings per share were $0.03 per share for the current period and $0.24 per share for the prior comparable period.

Net Interest Income.  Net interest income increased to $3.82 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, from $3.57 million for the previous year’s quarter.  This increase of $245,000 was the result of an increase in interest and dividend income of $212,000 and a decrease in interest expense of $33,000.

Interest and Dividend Income.  Total interest and dividend income was $4.32 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, compared to $4.11 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, an increase of $212,000, or 5.1%.  Interest and fees on loans increased to $3.25 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 from $3.01 million for the same period ended March 31, 2013.  This increase of $242,000, or 8.0%, was due to an increase in the average balance of loans partially offset by a decrease in the average yield of loans for the quarter ended March 31, 2014.  The average interest rate earned on loans receivable decreased by 27 basis points, from 5.23% to 4.96%.  Average balances for loans receivable, net, including loans held for sale, for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 were $262.58 million, compared to $230.24 million for the prior year period.  This represents an increase of $32.34 million, or 14.0%.  Average balances on investments decreased to $196.39 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, from $219.38 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013.  The average interest rate earned on investments increased to 2.17% from 1.98%.  Average balances on deposits with banks decreased to $3.94 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, compared to $7.09 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 and the average rates on such deposits with banks decreased from 0.56% at March 31, 2013 to 0.09% at March 31, 2014.

Interest Expense.  Total interest expense declined in the quarter to $502,000 from $535,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, a decrease of $33,000, or 6.2%.  The decrease was attributable to decreases in interest on borrowings.  The average rates on deposits, which include noninterest bearing deposits, increased slightly from 29 basis points to 30 basis points.  Average deposit balances also increased. This increase in average balances is the result of both the Sterling branch acquisition and organic growth.  The average balances increased from $415.79 million to $433.14 million, an increase of $17.35 million.  Changes in rates varied among the various deposit accounts.  Money market accounts remained the same at 13 basis points.  Interest bearing checking account rates declined one basis point to 4 basis points down from 5 basis points.  Savings account rates declined to 0.05% from 0.07%.  Certificates of deposit rates increased from 0.65% to 0.73%.  Because of the increase in retail funding due to deposit growth average balances in borrowings decreased to $29.80 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, compared to $33.95 million for the same quarter in the previous year.  A decline in the average rate paid to 2.33% from 2.72%, along with the decrease in average borrowing balances, resulted in a decrease in the interest expense for such borrowings to $173,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 versus $230,000 in the previous year.  The average rate paid on all interest-bearing liabilities decreased 5 basis points from the quarter ended March 31, 2013 to the quarter ended March 31, 2014.

Provision for Loan Losses.  Provisions for loan losses are charged to earnings to maintain the total allowance for loan losses at a level considered adequate by management of the Bank, to provide for probable loan losses based on prior loss experience, volume and type of lending conducted by the Bank, national and local economic conditions, and past due loans in portfolio.  The Bank’s policies require a review of assets on a quarterly basis.  The Bank classifies loans as well as other assets if warranted.  While the Bank believes it uses the best information available to make a determination with respect to the allowance for loan losses, it recognizes that future adjustments may be necessary.  The Bank recorded $128,000 in provision for loan losses for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 and $116,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 2013.  This increase was based on an analysis of a variety of factors including delinquencies within the loan portfolio.  Total nonperforming loans, including restructured loans, net decreased from $973,000 at March 31, 2013 to $618,000 at March 31, 2014. The Bank currently has $458,000 in foreclosed real estate property and other repossessed property.

Noninterest Income. Total noninterest income decreased to $2.12 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, from $3.27 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, a decrease of $1.15 million or 35.2%. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in gain on sale of loans of $882,000 and a decrease in gain on sale of securities of $269,000.  This significant change in loan sale fees was the result of a decline in mortgage refinancing activity from the 2013 period.

Noninterest Expense.  Noninterest expense was $5.70 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, and $6.45 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013.  The primary cause of this decrease was due to Sterling acquisition costs of $712,000 incurred in the prior comparable period.

Income Tax Expense.  Our income tax expense was $7,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, compared to income tax benefit of $629,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2013.  The income tax benefit of $629,000 was principally attributable to a tax credit investment by the Company in 2013.  The effective tax rate for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 was 6.09% and was negative 226.62% for the quarter ended March 31, 2013.  The Company made an investment in Certified Development Entities which have received allocations of New Markets Tax Credits (“NMTC”). Administered by the Community Development Financial Institutions Fund of the U.S. Department of the Treasury, the NMTC program is aimed at stimulating economic and community development and job creation in low-income communities. The federal income tax credits received are claimed over a seven-year credit allowance period.  In addition, the deductibility for tax purposes of goodwill resulting from the Sterling acquisition has helped reduce the Company’s effective tax rate.

Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended March 31, 2014 and 2013

Net Income.  Eagle’s net income for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 was $1.25 million compared to $1.29 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2013.  The slight decrease of $40,000 was due to increases in noninterest expense of $2.50 million and changes in income taxes of $663,000.  These were largely offset by increases in net interest income of $2.09 million and noninterest income of $925,000 and reductions in provision for loan losses of $98,000.  Basic earnings per share were $0.32 per share for the current period and $0.34 per share for the prior comparable period.

Net Interest Income.  Net interest income increased to $11.24 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2014, from $9.15 million for the previous year.  This increase of $2.09 million was the result of an increase in interest and dividend income of $1.95 million and by a decrease in interest expense of $145,000.

Interest and Dividend Income.  Total interest and dividend income was $12.78 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2014, compared to $10.83 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2013, an increase of $1.95 million, or 18.0%.  Interest and fees on loans increased to $9.61 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 from $8.32 million for the same period ended March 31, 2013.  This increase of $1.29 million, or 15.5%, was due to an increase in the average balance of loans partially offset by a decrease in the average yield of loans for the nine months ended March 31, 2014.  The average interest rate earned on loans receivable decreased by 48 basis points, from 5.52% to 5.04%.  Average balances for loans receivable, net, including loans held for sale, for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 were $253.91 million, compared to $200.91 million for the prior year period.  This represents an increase of $53.00 million, or 26.4%.  Interest and dividends on investment securities AFS increased by $677,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 from $2.49 million for the same period last year.  Average balances on investments increased to $202.27 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2014, from $145.77 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2013.  The average interest rate earned on investments decreased to 2.09% from 2.28%.  Interest on deposits with banks decreased to $5,000 from $26,000, due to a decrease in average balances partially offset by an increase in the average rates.  Average balances on deposits with banks decreased to $2.60 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2014, compared to $14.80 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 and the average rates on such deposits with banks increased from 0.23% at March 31, 2013 to 0.25% at March 31, 2014.

Interest Expense.  Total interest expense declined for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 to $1.54 million from $1.69 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2013, a decrease of $145,000, or 8.6%.  The decrease was attributable to decreases in interest on borrowings partially offset by an increase in interest expense on deposits.  The average rates on deposits, which include noninterest bearing deposits, decreased from 39 basis points to 30 basis points, but this was offset by the growth in average deposit balances. This increase in average balances is the result of both the Sterling branch acquisition and organic growth.  The organic growth was likely the result of the Bank’s customers continuing to opt for the safety of federally insured deposits, notwithstanding historically low rates on such deposits, over the risks and uncertainty of the capital markets.  The average balances increased from $307.33 million to $427.40 million, an increase of $120.07 million.  All account types experienced some decrease in average rates.  Money market accounts declined three basis points to 11 basis points down from 14 basis points.  Interest bearing checking account rates declined one basis point to 4 basis points down from 5 basis points.  Savings account rates declined to 0.06% from 0.09%, and certificates of deposit rates decreased from 0.90% to 0.72%.  Because of the increase in retail funding due to deposit growth average balances in borrowings decreased to $34.53 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2014, compared to $37.24 million for the same period in the previous year.  The average rate paid, along with the decrease in average borrowing balances, resulted in a decrease in interest expense for borrowings to $580,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 versus $801,000 in the previous period.  The average rate paid on borrowings decreased from 2.87% last year to 2.24% for the nine months ended March 31, 2014.  The average rate paid on all interest-bearing liabilities decreased 23 basis points from the nine months ended March 31, 2013 to the nine months ended March 31, 2014.

Provision for Loan Losses.  Provisions for loan losses are charged to earnings to maintain the total allowance for loan losses at a level considered adequate by management of the Bank, to provide for probable loan losses based on prior loss experience, volume and type of lending conducted by the Bank, national and local economic conditions, and past due loans in portfolio.  The Bank’s policies require a review of assets on a quarterly basis.  The Bank classifies loans as well as other assets if warranted.  While the Bank believes it uses the best information available to make a determination with respect to the allowance for loan losses, it recognizes that future adjustments may be necessary.  The Bank recorded $440,000 in provision for loan losses for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and $538,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2013.  This decrease from 2013 was based on an analysis of a variety of factors including delinquencies within the loan portfolio.  Total nonperforming loans, including restructured loans, decreased from $973,000 at March 31, 2013 to $618,000 at March 31, 2014. The Bank currently has $458,000 in foreclosed real estate property and other repossessed property.

Noninterest Income. Total noninterest income increased to $7.69 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2014, from $6.77 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2013, an increase of $925,000 or 13.6%.  The increase was due to fee income on deposit accounts increasing by $222,000 to $769,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 attributable to the Sterling acquisition.  Mortgage loan servicing fees also increased for the period by $269,000 to $1.01 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 primarily due to the higher balances of residential mortgage loans serviced by the Company.  Gain on sale of securities available for sale also contributed to the increase in noninterest income.  The gain on sale of such securities increased to $1.03 million from the prior period amount of $777,000.  Net gains on sale of loans decreased by $102,000 from the comparable nine month period in 2013.

Noninterest Expense.  Noninterest expense was $17.17 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2014, and $14.67 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2013.  The primary cause of this increase was the increase in salaries and employee benefits of $2.87 million resulting from the increase in staff from the Sterling acquisition.  Occupancy and equipment expense and data processing also increased by $1.08 million as the result of the Sterling acquisition and now operating a larger entity.  There were no acquisition costs for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 compared to $1.92 million for the same period last year as the acquisition was fully completed by the third quarter of fiscal year 2013.

Income Tax Expense.  Our income tax expense was $73,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2014, compared to an income tax benefit of $590,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2013.  The effective tax rate for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 was 5.52% and was negative 84.44% for the nine months ended March 31, 2013.  The Company’s tax rate has been impacted by the new market tax credit project initiated in the previous year.  The Company has equity investments in Certified Development Entities which have received allocations of New Markets Tax Credits (“NMTC”).  Administered by the Community Development Financial Institutions Fund of the U.S. Department of the Treasury, the NMTC program is aimed at stimulating economic and community development and job creation in low-income communities. The federal income tax credits received are claimed over a seven-year credit allowance period.  Also, the deductibility for tax purposes of goodwill resulting from the Sterling acquisition has helped reduce the effective tax rate.

Liquidity, Interest Rate Sensitivity and Capital Resources

The Bank is required to maintain minimum levels of liquid assets as defined by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”) regulations.  The OCC has eliminated the statutory requirement based upon a percentage of deposits and short-term borrowings.  The OCC states that the liquidity requirement is retained for safety and soundness purposes, and that appropriate levels of liquidity will depend upon the types of activities in which the company engages.  For internal reporting purposes, the Bank uses policy minimums of 1.0%, and 8.0% for “basic surplus” and “basic surplus with FHLB” as internally defined.  In general, the “basic surplus” is a calculation of the ratio of unencumbered short-term assets reduced by estimated percentages of CD maturities and other deposits that may leave the Bank in the next 90 days divided by total assets.  “Basic surplus with FHLB” adds to “basic surplus” the additional borrowing capacity the Bank has with the FHLB of Seattle.  The Bank exceeded those minimum ratios as of both March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013.
 
The Bank’s primary sources of funds are deposits, repayment of loans and mortgage-backed and collateralized mortgage obligation securities, maturities of investments, funds provided from operations, and advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle and other borrowings.  Scheduled repayments of loans and mortgage-backed and collateralized mortgage obligation securities and maturities of investment securities are generally predictable.  However, other sources of funds, such as deposit flows and loan prepayments, can be greatly influenced by the general level of interest rates, economic conditions and competition.  The Bank uses liquidity resources principally to fund existing and future loan commitments.  It also uses them to fund maturing certificates of deposit, demand deposit withdrawals and to invest in other loans and investments, maintain liquidity, and meet operating expenses.

Liquidity may be adversely affected by unexpected deposit outflows, higher interest rates paid by competitors, and similar matters. Management monitors projected liquidity needs and determines the level desirable, based in part on commitments to make loans and management’s assessment of the Bank’s ability to generate funds.

At February 28, 2014, the Bank’s measure, as internally determined, of sensitivity to interest rate movements, as measured by a 200 basis point rise in interest rates scenario, decreased the economic value of equity (“EVE”) by 18.0%.  The Bank is well within the guidelines set forth by the Board of Directors for interest rate risk sensitivity.  The Bank’s tier I core capital ratio, as measured under OCC rules, increased from 8.54% as of March 31, 2013 to 8.56% as of March 31, 2014.  The Bank’s strong capital position helps to mitigate its interest rate risk exposure.

As of March 31, 2014, the Bank’s regulatory capital was in excess of all applicable regulatory requirements.  At March 31, 2014, the Bank’s tangible, core, and risk-based capital ratios amounted to 8.56%, 8.56%, and 14.95%, respectively, compared to regulatory requirements of 1.50%, 3.00%, and 8.00%, respectively.  See the following table:

Our financial statements and the accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, 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 and due to inflation.  The impact of inflation is reflected in the increased cost of our operations.  Interest rates have a greater impact on our performance than do the 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.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
 
Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we conducted an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and our Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, including to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that as of March 31, 2014, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

During the last fiscal quarter, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or were reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
