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

 

General

 

Eagle Financial Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”), a Maryland corporation and registered bank holding company, was formed on February 21, 2017 to become the bank holding company for Eagle Savings Bank (the “Bank”). The Bank, an Ohio chartered savings and loan association, completed its mutual-to-stock conversion on July 20, 2017. In connection with the Bank’s conversion, the Company acquired 100% ownership of the Bank and the Company offered and sold 1,572,808 shares of its common stock at $10.0 per share, for gross offering proceeds of $15,728. The cost of the conversion and issuance of common stock was approximately $1,423, which was deducted from the gross offering proceeds. The Company also contributed 40,000 shares of its common stock and $100,000 of cash to Eagle Savings Bank Charitable Foundation (the “Foundation”), a charitable foundation formed in connection with the Bank’s conversion. The Bank’s employee stock ownership plan (“ESOP”) purchased 129,024 shares of the common stock sold by the Company, which was 8% of the 1,612,808 shares of common stock issued by the Company, including the shares contributed to the Foundation. The ESOP purchased the shares using a loan from the Company. The Company contributed $7,153 of the net proceeds from the offering to the Bank, loaned $1,290 of the net proceeds to the ESOP, contributed $100 to the Foundation and retained approximately $5,763 of the net proceeds.

 

Following the Bank’s conversion, voting rights are held and exercised exclusively by the shareholders of the holding company. Deposit account holders continue to be insured by the FDIC. A liquidation account was established in an amount equal to the Bank’s total equity as of the latest balance sheet date in the final offering circular used in the conversion. Each eligible account holder or supplemental account holder are entitled to a proportionate share of this account in the event of a complete liquidation of the Bank, and only in such event. This share will be reduced if the eligible account holder’s or supplemental account holder’s deposit balance falls below the amounts on the date of record and will cease to exist if the account is closed. The liquidation account will never be increased despite any increase after conversion in the related deposit balance.

 

The Bank may not pay a dividend on its capital stock, if the effect thereof would cause retained earnings to be reduced below the liquidation account amount or regulatory capital requirements. In addition, the stock holding company will be subject to certain regulations related to the repurchase of its capital stock.

 

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

 

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2017 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, include Eagle Financial Bancorp, Inc. and the Bank, its wholly owned subsidiary. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The financial statements as of December 31, 2016 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 represent the Bank only, as the conversion to stock form, including the formation the Company was completed on July 20, 2017. References herein to the Company for periods prior to the completion of the stock conversion should be deemed to refer to the Bank.

(Dollars in Thousands)

 

The accompanying condensed balance sheet of the Bank as of December 31, 2016, which has been derived from audited financial statements, and unaudited condensed financial statements of the Bank as of September 30, 2017 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, were prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X and, therefore, do not include information or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Accordingly, these condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto of the Bank for the year ended December 31, 2016 included in the Registrant’s Form S-1. Reference is made to the accounting policies of the Bank described in the Notes to Financial Statements contained in the Form S-1.

 

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are necessary for a fair presentation of the unaudited condensed financial statements have been included to present fairly the financial position as of September 30, 2017 and the results of operations and cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. All interim amounts have not been audited and the results of operations for the three and six months ended September 30, 2017, herein are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the entire year.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

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

 

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

 

Based on the accounting method used for the recording of the common stock transaction, including the funding of Eagle Financial Bancorp, Inc. on July 20, 2017, together with the methods and computations for calculating the weighted-average number of related outstanding shares and loss per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the computation of earnings (loss) per share would not provide meaningful information to readers of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. Therefore, such presentation is not included for such periods.

Note 2: Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses

 

The composition of the loan portfolio at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was as follows:

 

   September 30,   December 31, 
   2017   2016 
   (In thousands) 
Residential mortgage loans  $52,663   $41,914 
Commercial real estate and land loans   14,485    13,631 
Home equity and other consumer   13,009    14,593 
Residential construction loans   8,249    9,468 
           
Residential mortgage loans, non-owner occupied   7,504    5,743 
Multi-family real estate loans   2,357    2,513 
Commercial loans   6,105    1,779 
    104,372    89,641 
           
Net deferred loan costs   67    98 
Loans in process   (7,142)   (5,554)
Allowance for loan losses   (1,167)   (1,137)
           
Net loans  $96,130   $83,048 

 

Loans serviced for the benefit of others at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 amounted to $2,223 and $1,930, respectively.

 

Loans in process relates to primarily residential mortgage loans.

 

Risk characteristics applicable to each segment of the loan portfolio are described as follows.

 

Residential Mortgage Loans, including Construction Loans and Land Loans: The residential 1-4 family real estate loans and construction loans are generally secured by owner-occupied 1-4 family residences. Repayment of these loans is primarily dependent on the personal income and credit rating of the borrowers. Credit risk in these loans can be impacted by economic conditions within the Bank’s market areas that might impact either property values or a borrower’s personal income. Land loans are secured primarily by unimproved land for future residential use. Risk is mitigated by the fact that the loans are of smaller individual amounts and spread over a large number of borrowers.

 

Residential Mortgage Loans, Non-Owner Occupied: One-to-four family, non-owner occupied loans carry greater inherent risks than one-to-four family, owner occupied loans, since the repayment ability of the borrower is generally reliant on the success of the income generated from the property.

(Dollars in Thousands)

 

Commercial Real Estate and Multi-Family Real Estate: Commercial real estate loans typically involve larger principal amounts, and repayment of these loans is generally dependent on the successful operations of the property securing the loan or the business conducted on the property securing the loan. Multi-family real estate loans are generally secured by apartment complexes. These loans are viewed primarily as cash flow loans and secondarily as loans secured by real estate. Credit risk in these loans may be impacted by the creditworthiness of a borrower, property values and the local economies in the Bank’s market areas.

 

Commercial: The commercial portfolio includes loans to commercial customers for use in financing working capital needs, equipment purchases and expansions. The loans in this category are repaid primarily from the cash flow of a borrower’s principal business operation. Credit risk in these loans is driven by creditworthiness of a borrower and the economic conditions that impact the cash flow stability from business operations.

 

Home equity and Other Consumer: The consumer loan portfolio consists of home equity loans and term and line of credit loans such as automobile loans and loans for other personal purposes. Repayment of the home equity loans is primarily dependent on the personal income and credit rating of the borrowers. Credit risk in these loans can be impacted by economic conditions within the Bank’s market areas that might impact either property values or a borrower’s personal income. Repayment for term and line of credit loans will come from a borrower’s income sources that are typically independent of the loan purpose. Credit risk is driven by consumer economic factors (such as unemployment and general economic conditions in the Bank’s market area) and the creditworthiness of a borrower.

Internal Risk Categories

 

Loan grades are numbered 1 through 8. Grades 5 through 8 are considered satisfactory grades. The grade of 1, or Special Mention, represents loans of lower quality and is considered criticized. The grades of 2, or Substandard, 3, or Doubtful, and 4, or Loss refer to assets that are classified. The use and application of these grades by the Bank will be uniform and shall conform to the Bank’s policy.

 

Special Mention (grade 1) assets 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 or in the institution’s credit position at some future date. Special mention assets are not adversely classified and do not expose an institution to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification. Ordinarily, special mention credits have characteristics which corrective management action would remedy.

 

Substandard (grade 2) loans are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified must have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

 

Doubtful (grade 3) loans classified as doubtful 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 current known facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable.

 

Loss (grade 4) loans classified as loss are considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as assets is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the loan has absolutely no recovery or salvage value but rather it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off even though partial recovery may be affected in the future.

 

Satisfactory (grades 5 through 8) represent loans for which quality is considered to be satisfactory.

Note 3:Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”)

 

Employees participate in an ESOP. You become a participant with respect to non-elective contributions on the first day of the calendar month coincident with or next following the date you attain age 21 and you complete one (1) year of eligibility service, provided that you are an eligible employee on that date. The ESOP borrowed from the Company to purchase 129,024 shares of the Company’s common stock at $10 per share on July 20, 2017. The Company may make discretionary contributions to the ESOP and pay dividends on unallocated shares to the ESOP, the ESOP uses funds it receives to repay the loan. The Company recognizes compensation expense equal to the fair value of the ESOP shares during the periods in which they become committed to be released. To the extent the fair value of the ESOP shares released differs from the cost of the shares, such amount is charged to or credited to equity as additional paid-in capital. When loan payments are made, ESOP shares are allocated to participants based on relative compensation and expense is recorded. Any dividends on allocated shares increase participant accounts. Participants receive the shares at the end of employment.

Note 4:Regulatory Matters

 

The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Bank’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank’s assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, regulatory reporting requirements and regulatory capital standards. The Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. Furthermore, the Bank’s regulators could require adjustments to regulatory capital not reflected in these financial statements.

 

Quantitative measures established by regulatory reporting standards, to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of Total capital (as defined), Tier I capital (as defined) and common equity Tier 1capital (as defined) to risk-weighted assets (as defined) and Tier I capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 that the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.

 

As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 the most recent notification from the Bank’s regulators categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based capital, Tier I risk-based capital, common equity Tier 1 risk-based capital and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s category.

 

Beginning in January 2016, the capital conservation buffer requirement of 0.625% of risk-weighted assets was phased-in and will increase each year until fully implemented at 2.5% in January 2019.

 

An institution will be subject to further limitations on paying dividends, engaging in share repurchases, and paying discretionary bonuses if its capital levels fall below the buffer amount. These limitations will establish a maximum percentage of eligible retained income that could be utilized for such actions.

Note 5:Disclosure About Fair Values of Assets and Liabilities

 

ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements, 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 at the measurement date. Topic 820 also specifies a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

 

Level 2Observable 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 for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities

 

Level 3Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities

Fair value adjustments, consisting of charge-offs or allocated allowances, on impaired loans and foreclosed assets held for sale during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and the year ended December 31, 2016 amounted to $83 and $18, respectively.

 

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

 

Foreclosed Real Estate Held for Sale (Other Real Estate Owned)

 

Other real estate owned (OREO) is carried at the lower of fair value at acquisition date or current estimated fair value, less estimated cost to sell when the real estate is acquired. Estimated fair value of OREO is based on appraisals or evaluations. OREO is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

(Dollars in Thousands)

 

Appraisals of OREO are obtained when the real estate is acquired and subsequently as deemed necessary. Appraisals are reviewed for accuracy and consistency by the lending department. Appraisers are selected from the list of approved appraisers maintained by management.

 

Collateral-dependent Impaired Loans, Net of ALLL

 

The estimated fair value of collateral-dependent impaired loans is based on the appraised fair value of the collateral, less estimated cost to sell. Collateral-dependent impaired loans are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The Bank considers the appraisal or evaluation as the starting point for determining fair value and then considers other factors and events in the environment that may affect the fair value. Appraisals of the collateral underlying collateral-dependent loans are obtained when the loan is determined to be collateral-dependent and subsequently as deemed necessary. Appraisals are reviewed for accuracy and consistency by the lending department. Appraisers are selected from the list of approved appraisers maintained by management. The appraised values are reduced by discounts to consider lack of marketability and estimated cost to sell if repayment or satisfaction of the loan is dependent on the sale of the collateral. These discounts and estimates are developed by comparison to historical results.

 

Unobservable (Level 3) Inputs

 

The following tables present quantitative information about unobservable inputs used in nonrecurring Level 3 fair value measurements.

 

   Fair Value at   Valuation      
   9/30/2017   Technique  Unobservable Inputs  Range

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

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Interest-bearing Time Deposits

 

The carrying amount approximates fair value.

 

Loans Held For Sale

 

The carrying amount approximates fair value due to the insignificant time between origination and date of sale. The carrying amount is the amount funded.

Loans

 

Fair value is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the market rates at which similar notes would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities. The market rates used are based on current rates the Bank would impose for similar loans and reflect a market participant assumption about risks associated with nonperformance, illiquidity, and the structure and term of the loans along with local economic and market conditions.

 

FHLB Stock

 

Fair value is estimated at book value due to restrictions that limit the sale or transfer of such securities.

 

FHLB Lender Risk Account Receivable

 

The fair value of the Federal Home Loan Bank lender risk account receivable is estimated by discounting the estimated remaining cash flows of each strata of the receivable at current rates applicable to each strata for the same remaining maturities.

 

Accrued Interest Receivable and Payable

 

The carrying amount approximates fair value. The carrying amount is determined using the interest rate, balance and last payment date.

 

Deposits

 

Fair value of term deposits is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using rates of similar deposits with similar maturities. The market rates used were obtained from a knowledgeable independent third party and reviewed by the Bank. The rates were the average of current rates offered by local competitors of the Bank.

 

The estimated fair value of checking, NOW, savings and money market deposits is the book value since rates are regularly adjusted to market rates and amounts are payable on demand at the reporting date.

 

FHLB Advances

 

Fair value is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using rates of similar advances with similar maturities. These rates were obtained from current rates offered by FHLB.

 

Advances from Borrowers for Taxes and Insurance

 

The carrying amount approximates fair value.

 

Commitments to Originate Loans, Forward Sale Commitments, Letters of Credit and Lines of Credit

 

The fair value of commitments to originate loans is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties. For fixed-rate loan commitments, fair value also considers the difference between current levels of interest rates and the committed rates. The fair value of commitments to sell securities is estimated based on current market prices for securities of similar terms and credit quality. The fair values of letters of credit and lines of credit are based on fees currently charged for similar agreements or on the estimated cost to terminate or otherwise settle the obligations with the counterparties at the reporting date. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the fair value of such commitments was not material.

Note 6:Commitments and Credit Risk

 

Commitments to Originate Loans

 

Commitments to originate loans are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since a portion of the commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Each customer’s creditworthiness is evaluated on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held varies, but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, commercial real estate and residential real estate.

 

At September 30, 2017, the Bank had two loans approved but not yet originated with fixed interest rates of 3.875% for $487 secured by one-to four-family residential real estate. At December 31, 2016, the Bank had loans approved but not yet originated with fixed interest rate ranges of 3.875% - 4.125% for $436 secured by one-to four-family residential real estate. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Bank had undisbursed loans in process of $7,142 with fixed interest rate ranges of 3.250% - 4.625% and $5,554 with fixed interest rate ranges of 3.250% - 4.500%, respectively.

 

Lines of Credit

 

Lines of credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Lines of credit generally have fixed expiration dates. Since a portion of the line may expire without being drawn upon, the total unused lines do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Each customer’s creditworthiness is evaluated on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, commercial real estate and residential real estate. Management uses the same credit policies in granting lines of credit as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

 

Lines of credit at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were as follows:

 

   September 30, 2017   December 31, 2016 
   (In thousands) 
Unused lines of credit  $3,132   $1,699 
Unused home equity lines   10,740    10,000 
           
Total commitments  $13,872   $11,699

Note 7:Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. On July 9, 2015, the FASB approved amendments deferring the effective date by one year.

 

ASU 2014-09 is now effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods with in that reporting period. Early application is permitted but not before the original public entity effective date, i.e., annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. In March 2016, the FASB issued final amendments (ASU No. 2016-08 and ASU No. 2016-10) to clarify the implementation guidance for principal versus agent considerations, identifying performance obligations and the accounting for licenses of intellectual property. The amendments can be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying this Update recognized at the date of initial application. In May 2016, the FASB issued final amendments (ASU No. 2016-12 and ASU 2016-11) to address narrow-scope improvements to the guidance on collectability, non-cash consideration, completed contracts at transition and to provide a practical expedient for contract modifications at transition and an accounting policy election related to the presentation of sales taxes and other similar taxes collected from customers. Additionally, the amendments included a rescission of SEC guidance because of ASU 2014-09 related to revenue and expense recognition for freight services in process, accounting for shipping and handling fees and costs, and accounting for consideration given by a vendor to a customer. In December 2016, the FASB issued final guidance (ASU 2016-20) that allows entities not to make quantitative disclosures about performance obligations in certain cases and requires entities that use any of the new or previously existing optional exemptions to expand their qualitative disclosures. It also makes 12 additional technical corrections and improvements to the new revenue standard. These amendments are effective upon the adoption of ASU 2014-09. The Bank continues to assess the guidance from the FASB and the Transition Resource Group for Revenue Recognition in determining the impact of ASU 2014-09 on its accounting and disclosures. The amendments could potentially impact the accounting procedures and processes over the recognition of certain revenue sources, including, but not limited to, non-interest income. Management is currently evaluating those revenue streams that will be impacted by the amendments. The analysis includes identification of possible performance obligations and revenue principles. The adoption of ASU 2014-09 is not expected to have a material impact on the Bank’s accounting and disclosures.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01 "Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10) - Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities." ASU 2016-01 is intended to improve the recognition and measurement of financial instruments by requiring equity investments to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income; requiring public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes; requiring separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financial statements; eliminating the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured and amortized at cost on the balance sheet; and requiring a reporting organization to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the organization has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments. ASU 2016-01 is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. The amendments should be applied by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The amendments related to equity securities without readily determinable fair values (including disclosure requirements) should be applied prospectively to equity investments that exist as of the date of adoption. The Bank is currently evaluating the impact of these amendments, but does not expect them to have a material effect on the Bank’s financial position or results of operations since it does not have any equity securities or a valuation allowance. However, the amendments will have an impact on certain items that are disclosed at fair value that are not currently utilizing the exit price notion when measuring fair value. At this time the Bank cannot quantify the change in the fair value of such disclosures since the Bank is currently evaluating the full impact of the Update and is in the planning stages of developing appropriate procedures and processes to comply with the disclosure requirements of such amendments. The current accounting policies and procedures will be modified after the Bank has fully evaluated the standard to comply with the accounting changes mentioned above. For additional information on fair value of assets and liabilities, see Note 4.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 "Leases (Topic 842)." ASU 2016-02 establishes a right of use model that requires a lessee to record a right of use asset and a lease liability for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. For lessors, the guidance modifies the classification criteria and the accounting for sales-type and direct financing leases. A lease will be treated as sale if it transfers all of the risks and rewards, as well as control of the underlying asset, to the lessee. If risks and rewards are conveyed without the transfer of control, the lease is treated as a financing. If the lessor doesn't convey risks and rewards or control, an operating lease results. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years for public business entities. Entities are required to use a modified retrospective approach for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. Early adoption is permitted. The impact is not expected to have a material effect on the Bank’s financial position or results of operations since the Bank does not have a material amount of lease agreements. The Bank continues to evaluate the amendments and will subsequently implement new processes to comply with the ASU. In addition, the Bank will change its current accounting practice to comply with the amendments and such changes as mentioned above.

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, "Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326) -Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments." The provisions of ASU 2016-13 were issued to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments that are not accounted for at fair value through net income, including loans held for investment, held-to-maturity debt securities, trade and other receivables, net investment in leases and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. ASU 2016-13 requires that financial assets measured at amortized cost be presented at the net amount expected to be collected, through an allowance for credit losses that is deducted from the amortized cost basis. The amendments in ASU 2016-13 eliminate the probable incurred loss recognition in current GAAP and reflect an entity's current estimate of all expected credit losses. The measurement of expected credit losses is based upon historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the financial assets. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Bank is currently evaluating the impact of these amendments to the Bank’s financial position and results of operations and currently does not know or cannot reasonably quantify the impact of the adoption of the amendments as a result of the complexity and extensive changes from the amendments. The Allowance for Loan Losses (ALL) estimate is material to the Bank and given the change from an incurred loss model to a methodology that considers the credit loss over the life of the loan, there is the potential for an increase in the ALL at the adoption date. The Bank is anticipating a significant change in processes and procedures to calculate the ALL, including changes in assumptions and estimates to consider the expected credit losses over the life of the loan versus the current accounting practice that utilizes the incurred loss model. In addition, the current accounting policy and procedures for the other-than temporary impairment on available-for-sale securities will be replaced with an allowance approach. The Bank has continued developing processes during the third quarter of 2017. Management’s attention is focused on collecting historical loan loss data, loan level data, and evaluating data capabilities to ensure it is fully compliant with the amendments at adoption date. For additional information on the allowance for loan losses, see Note 2.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15 "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) - Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments." ASU 2016-15 provides cash flow statement classification guidance for certain transactions including how the predominance principle should be applied when cash receipts and cash payments have aspects of more than one class of cash flows. The guidance is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years and should be applied retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Bank has assessed ASU 2016-15 and does not expect a significant impact on its accounting and disclosures.

 

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18 "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) – Restricted Cash." ASU 2016-18 provides amendments to cash flow statement classification and presentation to explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. The guidance is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years and should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Bank has assessed ASU 2016-18 and does not expect a significant impact on its accounting and disclosures.

Critical Accounting Policies

 

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

 

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

 

The following represents our critical accounting policies:

 

Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to income. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectability of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. 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.

 

The allowance consists of allocated and general components. The allocated component relates to loans that are classified as impaired. For those loans that are classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers nonclassified loans and is based on historical charge-off experience for the last three years and expected loss given default derived from our internal risk rating process. Other qualitative adjustments are made to the allowance for pools of loans after an assessment of internal or external influences on credit quality that are not fully reflected in the historical loss or risk rating data.

 

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that we 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 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 by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.

 

Groups of loans with similar risk characteristics are collectively evaluated for impairment based on the group’s historical loss experience adjusted for changes in trends, conditions and other relevant factors that affect repayment of the loans.

FHLB-Cincinnati Lender Risk Account Receivable. Certain loan sale transactions with the FHLB-Cincinnati provide for establishment of a Lender Risk Account (“LRA”). The LRA consists of amounts withheld from loan sale proceeds by the FHLB-Cincinnati for absorbing inherent losses that are probable on those sold loans. These withheld funds are an asset as they are scheduled to be paid to us in future years, net of any credit losses on those loans sold. The receivables are initially measured at fair value. The fair value is estimated by discounting the cash flows over the life of each master commitment contract. The accretable yield is amortized over the life of the master commitment contract. Expected cash flows are re-evaluated at each measurement date. If there is an adverse change in expected cash flows, the accretable yield would be adjusted on a prospective basis and the asset would be evaluated for impairment.

 

Comparison of Financial Condition at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016

 

Total Assets. Total assets were $129.6 million at September 30, 2017, an increase of $13.6 million, or 11.7%, over the $116.0 million at December 31, 2016. The increase in total assets is reflective of the net proceeds of $13.4 million from our common stock offering in connection with our mutual-to-stock conversion on July 20, 2017. The increase in funds from our stock offering proceeds and existing cash balances were used to increase our portfolio of net loans receivable by $13.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Additionally, $3.2 million of the proceeds were invested in FDIC insured certificates of deposits in other banks during the period.

 

Net Loans. Net loans increased by $13.1 million, or 15.8%, to $96.1 million at September 30, 2017 from $83.0 million at December 31, 2016. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we originated $53.9 million of loans and sold $51.8 million of loans in the secondary market. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, one- to four-family residential real estate loans increased $12.5 million, or 26.3%, to $60.2 million at September 30, 2017, from $47.7 million at December 31, 2016; multi-family loans decreased $156,000, or 6.2%, to $2.4 million at September 30, 2017; commercial real estate loans and land loans increased $854,000, or 6.3%, to $14.5 million at September 30, 2017; construction loans decreased $1.2 million, or 12.9%, to $8.2 million at September 30, 2017; home equity and other consumer loans decreased $1.6 million, or 10.9%, to $13.0 million at September 30, 2017; and commercial loans increased $4.3 million, or 243.2%, to $6.1 million at September 30, 2017. The increases in loan balances reflect our strategy to grow and diversify our loan portfolio. Such growth has been achieved amid strong competition for commercial real estate and one- to four-family residential mortgage loans in our market area in the current low interest rate environment. We have sold loans on a servicing released basis in transactions with the FHLB-Cincinnati, through its mortgage purchase program, and with other investors. We sold $51.8 million of loans in the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Loans serviced for investors were $2.2 million at September 30, 2017. Management intends to continue this sales activity in future periods.

 

Interest-Bearing Deposits in Other Banks. The Bank’s investment in certificates of deposit in other banks increased $3.2 million, or 936.1%, to $3.6 million as of September 30, 2017. Proceeds from our common stock offering in connection with our conversion from a mutual savings bank to a stock holding company and bank were used to invest in the FDIC insured certificates of deposit.

 

Foreclosed Assets. Foreclosed assets decreased $55,000, or 100.0%, to $0 at September 30, 2017 from $55,000 at December 31, 2016, due to the sale of foreclosed properties. There were no additions during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 to foreclosed real estate.

 

Deposits. Deposits decreased by $197,000, or 0.2%, to $99.8 million at September 30, 2017 from $100.0 million at December 31, 2016. Our core deposits, which are all deposits other than certificates of deposit, decreased $1.3 million, or 2.3%, to $57.4 million at September 30, 2017 from $58.7 million at December 31, 2016. The core deposit decrease is directly attributable to stock purchases of $1.9 million in connection with our conversion from a mutual savings bank to a stock bank. Certificates of deposit increased $581,000, or 1.4%, to $41.9 million at September 30, 2017 from $41.3 million at December 31, 2016. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, management continued its strategy of pursuing growth in demand accounts and other lower cost core deposits. Management intends to continue its efforts to increase core deposits, with a special emphasis on growth in consumer and business demand deposits.

Federal Home Loan Bank Advances. FHLB-Cincinnati advances decreased $15,000, or 53.6%, to $13,000 at September 30, 2017 from $28,000 at December 31, 2016. The weighted average cost of these advances was 3.33% at September 30, 2017, compared to our cost of deposits of 0.67% at that same date.

 

Shareholders’ Equity. Shareholders’ equity increased $13.6 million, or 100.6%, to $27.0 million at September 30, 2017 from $13.5 million at December 31, 2016. The increase was a direct result of the completion of the mutual to stock conversion and resulting net proceeds from the sale of common stock of $14.3 million, reduced by a charitable contribution to the Eagle Savings Bank Charitable Foundation and formation of leveraged ESOP during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

 

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016

 

General. Our net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was $220,000, compared to net income of $292,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2016, a decrease of $512,000, or 175.3%. The decrease in net income was primarily due to a $500,000 charitable contribution to the Eagle Savings Bank Charitable Foundation, a cost related to our conversion to a stock company. There was also a $195,000 increase in employee compensation and benefits during the three months ended September 30, 2017 over the same period ended September 30, 2016. The impact of these increases was partially offset by a $195,000 increase in net interest income, the result of the increase in loan balances during the three months ended September 30, 2017.

 

Interest Income. Interest income increased $181,000, or 18.7%, to $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from $969,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2016. This increase was primarily attributable to a $137,000 increase in interest income on loans receivable and an increase of $40,000 in interest income on other interest-earning deposits. The average balance of loans during the three months ended September 30, 2017 increased by $12.5 million, or 15.4%, from the average balance for the three months ended September 30, 2016. Interest income on other interest-bearing deposits, including certificates of deposit in other financial institutions, increased $40,000, or 200.0%, for the three months ended September 30, 2017, as a result of an increase in the average balance outstanding of $2.2 million and an increase in the average yield of 82 basis points, to 1.44%. We held no investment securities during the 2017 or 2016 period.

 

Interest Expense. Total interest expense decreased $14,000, or 7.7%, to $167,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from $181,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2016. Interest expense on deposit accounts decreased $13,000, or 7.2%, to $167,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from $180,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The average balance of deposits during the three months ended September 30, 2017 increased by $7.9 million, or 8.5% from the average balance from the three months ended September 30, 2016. However, this increase in balance was more than offset by an 11 basis point decrease in the average cost of deposits to 0.66% from 0.77%.

 

Interest expense on FHLB advances decreased $1,000, or 100.0%, for the three months ended September 30, 2017. The average balance of FHLB advances during the three months ended September 30, 2017 decreased by $20,000, or 58.8%, from the average balance for the three months ended September 30, 2016.

 

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $195,000, or 24.7%, to $983,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $788,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The increase reflected an increase in total interest and dividend income of $181,000 and a decrease in total interest expense of $14,000. Our net interest rate spread increased 23 basis points to 3.40% at September 30, 2017 from 3.17% at September 30, 2016. Our net interest margin increased to 3.47% for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from 3.20% for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The interest rate spread and net interest margin were impacted by rising interest rates in the three months ended September 30, 2017.

Provision for Loan Losses. Based on our analysis of the factors described in “Critical Accounting Policies—Allowance for Loan Losses,” we recorded a provision for loan losses of $17,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and $40,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The allowance for loan losses was $1.2 million, or 1.11% of total loans, at September 30, 2017, compared to $1.1 million, or 1.27% of total loans, at December 31, 2016. The provision for loan losses in the three months ended September 30, 2017 was due primarily to increases in our total loan portfolio and changes in the composition of the portfolio, more specifically 1-4 adjustable rate mortgages and C&I loans. Total nonperforming loans were $871,000 at September 30, 2017, compared to $783,000 at December 31, 2016. Classified and special mention loans increased to $2.3 million at September 30, 2017, compared to $1.8 million at December 31, 2016. Total loans past due 30 days or more were $741,000 and $830,000 at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Net charge-offs totaled $79,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $7,000 of net loan charge-off for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The allowance for loan losses reflects the estimate we believe to be appropriate to cover incurred probable losses which were inherent in the loan portfolio at September 30, 2017 and 2016. While we believe the estimates and assumptions used in our determination of the adequacy of the allowance are reasonable, such estimates and assumptions could be proven incorrect in the future, and the actual amount of future provisions may exceed the amount of past provisions, and the increase in future provisions that may be required may adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, bank regulatory agencies periodically review our allowance for loan losses and may require an increase in the provision for possible loan losses or the recognition of further loan charge-offs, based on judgments different than those of management.

 

Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income decreased $221,000, or 30.0%, to $516,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from $737,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the gain on sale of loans during the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2016. Gain on sale of loans decreased $218,000, or 32.7%, to $448,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from $666,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2016. This decrease is a result of increasing the loan portfolio with more adjustable rate loans instead of selling them in the secondary market.

 

Non-Interest Expense. Non-interest expense increased $738,000, or 70.5%, to $1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. Approximately $195,000 of the increase was the result of an increase in compensation and employee benefits from the addition of several new employees hired during the second half of 2016. We expect that those expenses will continue to increase for the remainder of 2017 compared to 2016. In addition, a charitable contribution of $500,000 was made to the Eagle Savings Bank Charitable Foundation during the three months ended September 30, 2017, a cost related to our conversion to a stock company that was recognized during the third quarter of 2017. Non-interest expense can be expected to increase in the future compared to historical expense levels because of costs associated with operating as a public company and increased compensation costs related to possible implementation of one or more stock-based benefit plans, if approved by our stockholders.

 

Federal Income Taxes. Federal income taxes decreased by $229,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to an income tax expense of $146,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The reduction in income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was a direct result of the increase in non-interest expense and the resulting decrease in net income.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016

 

General. Our net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $95,000, compared to a net income of $1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, a decrease of $1.1 million, or 92.2%. The decrease in net income was primarily due to a $853,000 decrease in noninterest income, due to the absence of death benefit proceeds in excess of the cash surrender value of bank-owned life insurance of $940,000 received during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, a $37,000 increase in the provision for loan losses, and a $725,000 increase in noninterest expense. The increase in noninterest expense was due to a charitable contribution of $500,000 to the Eagle Savings Bank Charitable Foundation, a cost related to our conversion to a stock company. The negative impact of these changes was partially offset by a $411,000 increase in net interest income, the result of the increase in loan balances during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, an $80,000 increase in net gain on loans sales during the period, and a decrease of $80,000 in tax expense.

 

Interest Income. Interest income increased $350,000, or 12.4%, to $3.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from $2.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. This increase was attributable to a $282,000 increase in interest income on loans receivable and an increase of $61,000 in interest income on other interest-earning deposits. The average balance of loans during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 increased by $9.5 million, or 12.0%, from the average balance for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Interest income on other interest-bearing deposits, including certificates of deposit in other financial institutions, increased $61,000, or 105.2%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, as a result of an increase in the average yield of 50 basis points, to 1.07%. We held no investment securities during the 2017 or 2016 periods.

 

Interest Expense. Total interest expense decreased $61,000, or 11.0%, to $495,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from $556,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Interest expense on deposit accounts decreased $29,000, or 5.5%, to $494,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from $523,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The average balance of deposits during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 increased by $6.9 million, or 7.5%, from the average balance from the nine months ended September 30, 2016. This increase in balance was offset by a 9 basis point decrease in the average cost of deposits to 0.67% from 0.76%.

 

Interest expense on FHLB advances decreased $32,000, or 97.0%, to $1,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from $33,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The decrease is attributable to the prepayment of a $3.0 million FHLB advance in 2016. The average balance of FHLB advances for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 decreased by $1.0 million, or 98.0%, from the average balance for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

 

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $411,000, or 18.1%, to $2.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $2.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase reflected an increase in total interest and dividend income of $350,000 and a decrease in total interest expense of $61,000. Our net interest rate spread increased 24 basis points to 3.29% at September 30, 2017 from 3.05% at September 30, 2016. Our net interest margin increased to 3.34% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from 3.10% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The interest rate spread and net interest margin were impacted by rising interest rates in the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

 

Provision for Loan Losses. Based on our analysis of the factors described in “Critical Accounting Policies—Allowance for Loan Losses,” we recorded a provision for loan losses of $102,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and $65,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The allowance for loan losses was $1.2 million, or 1.11% of total loans, at September 30, 2017, compared to $1.1 million, or 1.27% of total loans, at December 31, 2016. The provisions for loan losses in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and the nine months ended September 30, 2016 were due primarily to increases in our total loan portfolio and changes in the composition of the portfolio, more specifically 1-4 adjustable rate mortgages and C&I loans. Total nonperforming loans were $871,000 at September 30, 2017, compared to $783,000 at December 31, 2016. Classified and special mention loans increased to $2.3 million at September 30, 2017, compared to $1.8 million at December 31, 2016. Total loans past due 30 days or more were $741,000 and $830,000 at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Net loan charge-offs totaled $72,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $16,000 of net loans recoveries for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The allowance for loan losses reflects the estimate we believe to be appropriate to cover incurred probable losses which were inherent in the loan portfolio at September 30, 2017 and 2016.

Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income decreased $853,000, or 33.1%, to $1.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from $2.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The decrease was primarily due to the absence of death benefit proceeds in excess of the cash surrender value of bank-owned life insurance of $940,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in the gain on loan sales in the secondary market of $80,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

 

Non-Interest Expense. Non-interest expense increased $725,000, or 21.2%, to $4.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $3.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Approximately $666,000 of the increase was due to an increase in compensation and employee benefits from the addition of several new employees hired during the second half of 2016 and early 2017. We expect that those expenses will continue to increase for the remainder of 2017 compared to 2016. In addition, a charitable contribution of $500,000 was made to the Eagle Savings Bank Charitable Foundation during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, a cost related to our conversion to a stock company that was recognized in the third quarter of 2017. In addition, non-interest expense can be expected to increase in the future compared to historical expense levels because of costs associated with operating as a public company and increased compensation costs related to possible implementation of one or more stock-based benefit plans, if approved by our stockholders.

 

Federal Income Taxes. Federal income taxes decreased to $80,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The decrease in income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 resulted from the absence of non-taxable proceeds from life insurance during the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Liquidity describes our ability to meet the financial obligations that arise in the ordinary course of business. Liquidity is primarily needed to meet the borrowing and deposit withdrawal requirements of our customers and to fund current and planned expenditures. Our primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest payments on loans and proceeds from the sale of loans. We also have the ability to borrow from the FHLB-Cincinnati. At September 30, 2017, we had $13,000 outstanding in advances from the FHLB-Cincinnati. At September 30, 2017, we had the capacity to increase our borrowings by approximately $29.8 million from the FHLB-Cincinnati and an additional $10.0 million on a line of credit with the FHLB-Cincinnati.

While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions, and competition. Our most liquid assets are cash and short-term investments including interest-bearing demand deposits. The levels of these assets are dependent on our operating, financing, lending, and investing activities during any given period.

 

Our cash flows are comprised of three primary classifications: cash flows from operating activities, investing activities, and financing activities. Net cash used by operating activities was $3.3 million for both the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Net cash used in investing activities, which consists primarily of disbursements for loan originations, and the purchase of other bank certificates of deposit, was $16.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, while the net cash used by investing activities was $2.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. Net cash provided by financing activities, consisting primarily of the activity in deposit accounts, and the cash provided from the proceeds from the banks conversion from a mutual savings bank to a stock bank was $13.0 million for the nine month ended September 30, 2017, while the net cash provided by financing activities was $3.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, resulting from activity in deposit accounts and FHLB-Cincinnati advances.

 

We are committed to maintaining a strong liquidity position. We monitor our liquidity position on a daily basis. We anticipate that we will have sufficient funds to meet our current funding commitments. Based on our deposit retention experience and current pricing strategy, we anticipate that a significant portion of maturing time deposits will be retained.

 

At September 30, 2017, we exceeded all of our regulatory capital requirements with a Tier 1 leverage capital level of $19.9 million, or 15.4% of adjusted total assets, which is above the $6.4 million, or 5.0% required to be considered well-capitalized, and total risk-based capital of $21.0 million, or 17.9% of risk-weighted assets, which is above the well-capitalized required level of $11.8 million, or 10.0%. Accordingly, Eagle Savings Bank was categorized as well capitalized at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. In addition, our capital levels increased as a result of the July 20, 2017 consummation of the Bank’s mutual to stock conversion and related offering of the Company. Management is not aware of any conditions or events since the most recent notification that would change our category.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Aggregate Contractual Obligations

 

Commitments. As a financial services provider, we routinely are a party to various financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risks, such as commitments to extend credit and unused lines of credit. While these contractual obligations represent our future cash requirements, a significant portion of commitments to extend credit may expire without being drawn upon. Such commitments are subject to the same credit policies and approval process accorded to loans we make. At September 30, 2017, we had outstanding commitments to originate loans of $21.5 million, including undisbursed funds on construction loans and funds available on undrawn lines of credit. We anticipate that we will have sufficient funds available to meet our current lending commitments. Certificates of deposit that are scheduled to mature within one year from September 30, 2017 totaled $17.6 million. Management expects that a substantial portion of the maturing certificates of deposit will be renewed. However, if a substantial portion of these deposits is not retained, we may utilize FHLB-Cincinnati advances or raise interest rates on deposits to attract new accounts, which may result in higher levels of interest expense.

 

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

ITEM 2.UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

 

(a)Not applicable.

 

(b)On July 20, 2017, the Company completed the sale of its common stock, par value $0.01, in connection with the mutual-to-stock conversion of Eagle Savings Bank. The offering commenced on May 23, 2017 and was consummated on June 15, 2017.

KBW also was engaged to serve as records manager, for which it received a fee of $30,000 plus expenses.  Total offering expenses, including the amounts paid to KBW, were approximately $1.4 million, none of which were paid to officers or directors of the Company or the Bank or any of their associates.  No underwriting discounts, commissions or finders fees were paid in connection with the offering.  Net offering proceeds were approximately $14.3 million, of which the Company contributed approximately $7,153 million to the Bank and loaned $1.29 million to the Bank’s Employee Stock Ownership Plan to allow it to purchase shares of common stock.  The Company also contributed 40,000 shares of common stock and $100,000 in cash to the Eagle Savings Bank Charitable Foundation. The Company retained the remaining net proceeds for general corporate purposes.  The use of proceeds does not represent a material change in the use of proceeds described in the Company’s Prospectus dated May 15, 2017.
