The Bank, which is a wholly-owned Indiana-chartered commercial bank subsidiary of the Company, provides a variety of banking services to individuals and business customers through sixteen locations in southern Indiana. The Bank attracts deposits primarily from the general public and uses those funds, along with other borrowings, primarily to originate commercial mortgage, residential mortgage, construction, commercial business and consumer loans, and to a lesser extent, to invest in mortgage-backed securities, municipal bonds and other investment securities. The Bank has two wholly-owned subsidiaries: First Savings Investments, Inc., a Nevada corporation that manages a securities portfolio, and Southern Indiana Financial Corporation, which is currently inactive.

 

On April 25, 2017, the Bank formed Q2 Business Capital, LLC (“Q2”), which is an Indiana limited liability company that specializes in the origination and servicing of U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loans. The Bank owns 51% of Q2 with the option to purchase the minority interest between July 1, 2020 and September 30, 2020. In accordance with Q2’s operating agreement, the Bank was allocated the first $1.7 million of Q2’s cumulative net income with any additional profits and losses allocated 51% to the Bank and 49% to Q2’s minority members.

 

The Captive, which is a wholly-owned insurance subsidiary of the Company, is a Nevada corporation that provides property and casualty insurance to the Company, the Bank and the Bank’s active subsidiaries. In addition, the Captive provides reinsurance to ten other third-party insurance captives for which insurance may not be currently available or economically feasible in the insurance marketplace.

2.Acquisition of Dearmin Bancorp and The First National Bank of Odon

 

On February 9, 2018, the Company acquired Dearmin Bancorp, Inc. (“Dearmin”) and its majority owned subsidiary, The First National Bank of Odon (“FNBO”), a full service community bank located in Odon, Indiana. The acquisition expanded the Company’s presence into Daviess County, Indiana. The Company expects to benefit from growth in this market area as well as from expansion of the banking services provided to the existing customers of FNBO. Cost savings are also expected for the combined bank through economies of scale, efficiencies and the consolidation of business operations.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, FNBO stockholders received $265.00 in cash for each share of FNBO common stock for total cash consideration of $10.6 million. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the purchase price is assigned to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair values, net of applicable income tax effects. In accounting for the acquisition, the excess of cost over the fair value of the acquired net assets of $1.6 million, based on management’s initial preliminary valuation, has been recorded as goodwill. Transaction and integration costs related to the acquisition totaling $1.3 million were expensed as incurred for the nine-month period ended June 30, 2018. No transaction and integration costs were recognized for the three-month period ended June 30, 2018.

 

Following is a condensed balance sheet providing the fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed, based on management’s preliminary analysis, as of the date of acquisition:

 

    (In thousands) 
      
Cash and due from banks  $1,310 
Interest-bearing deposits with banks   15,957 
Interest-bearing time deposits with banks   3,817 
Investment securities   39,978 
Loans   34,467 
Premises and equipment   1,125 
Goodwill arising in the acquisition   1,575 
Net deferred tax asset   2,083 
Other assets   2,659 
Total assets acquired   102,971 
      
Deposit accounts   91,765 
Net deferred tax liabilities   233 
Other liabilities   373 
Total liabilities assumed   92,371 
      
Total consideration  $10,600 

 

Based on management’s initial preliminary valuation, $2.1 million was assigned to a core deposit intangible which is amortized over a weighted-average estimated economic life of 7.9 years. It is not anticipated that the core deposit intangible will have a significant residual value. No amount of the goodwill or core deposit intangible arising in the acquisition is deductible for income tax purposes.

Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 310-30, Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality, applies to a loan with evidence of deterioration of credit quality since origination, acquired by completion of a transfer for which it is probable, at acquisition, that the investor will be unable to collect all contractually required payments receivable. On the acquisition date, no loans were identified with evidence of deterioration of credit quality since origination. Loans acquired not subject to ASC 310-30 included non-impaired loans with a fair value of $34.5 million and gross contractual amounts receivable of $41.5 million at the date of acquisition.

In addition to combining the historical results of operations, the pro forma calculations consider the purchase accounting adjustments and nonrecurring charges directly related to the acquisition and the related tax effects. The pro forma information for the nine months ended June 30, 2018 was adjusted to exclude $1.3 million of acquisition-related costs incurred during the period and the pro forma information for the nine months ended June 30, 2017 was adjusted to include those costs. The pro forma calculations do not include any anticipated cost savings as a result of the acquisition. The pro forma results of operations are presented for informational purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the actual results of operations that would have occurred had the FNBO acquisition actually been consummated on October 1, 2016, or results that may occur in the future.

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

 

The total available for sale debt securities in loss positions at June 30, 2018, which consisted of U.S. government agency mortgage backed securities and CMOs, privately issued CMOs, SBA certificates and municipal bonds, had a fair value as a percentage of amortized cost of 98.16%. All of the agency and municipal securities are issued by U.S. government-sponsored enterprises and municipal governments, and are generally secured by first mortgage loans and municipal project revenues.

 

The Company evaluates the existence of a potential credit loss component related to the decline in fair value of the privately issued CMO and ABS portfolios each quarter using an independent third party analysis. At June 30, 2018, the Company held fourteen privately-issued CMO and ABS securities, acquired in a 2009 bank merger, with an aggregate amortized cost of $1.3 million and fair value of $1.7 million that have been downgraded to a substandard regulatory classification due to the security’s credit quality rating by various nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (“NRSROs”).

 

At June 30, 2018, two privately-issued CMO were in loss positions and had depreciated approximately 5.55% from the Company’s carrying value and were collateralized by residential mortgage loans. These securities had a total fair value of $74,000 and a total unrealized loss of $51,000 at June 30, 2018, and were rated below investment grade by NRSROs. Based on the independent third party analysis of the expected cash flows, management has determined that no other-than-temporary impairment is required to be recognized on the remaining privately issued CMO and ABS portfolios. While the Company does not anticipate additional credit-related impairment losses at June 30, 2018, additional deterioration in market and economic conditions may have an adverse impact on the credit quality in the future and therefore, require a credit related impairment charge.

 

During the three-month period ended June 30, 2018, the Company recognized an other-than-temporary write-down charge to earnings of $95,000 representing the total amortized cost of a privately-issued CMO. The security was determined to be other-than-temporarily impaired and the Company does not anticipate recovering its investment in the security.

 

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

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

Troubled Debt Restructurings

 

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

 

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

 

The following table summarizes the Company’s recorded investment in TDRs at June 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017. There was no specific reserve included in the allowance for loan losses related to TDRs at June 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017.

No loans were modified as TDRs during the three-month period ended June 30, 2018. For the TDRs listed above, the terms of modification included deferral of contractual principal and interest payments, reduction of the stated interest rate and extension of the maturity date where the debtor was unable to access funds elsewhere at a market interest rate for debt with similar risk characteristics.

 

At June 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017, the Company had committed to lend $1,000 and $17,000, respectively, to customers with outstanding loans classified as TDRs.

 

There were no principal charge-offs recorded as a result of TDRs during the three- and nine-month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017. There was no specific allowance for loan losses related to TDRs modified during the three- and nine-month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017. In the event that a TDR subsequently defaults, the Company evaluates the restructuring for possible impairment. As a result, the related allowance for loan losses may be increased or charge-offs may be taken to reduce the carrying amount of the loan.

 

During the three- and nine-month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company did not have any TDRs that were modified within the previous twelve months and for which there was a payment default.

Loan Servicing Rights

 

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

 

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

 

The unpaid principal balance of SBA loans serviced for others was $113.5 million, $61.2 million and $45.1 million at June 30, 2018, September 30, 2017 and June 30, 2017, respectively. Contractually specified late fees and ancillary fees earned on SBA loans were $3,000 and $12,000 for the three- and nine-month periods ended June 30, 2018, respectively. Contractually specified late fees and ancillary fees earned on SBA loans were $1,000 and $45,000 for the three- and nine-month periods ended June 30, 2017, respectively. Net servicing income (contractually specified servicing fees offset by direct servicing expenses) related to SBA loans were $240,000 and $581,000 for the three- and nine-month periods ended June 30, 2018, respectively. Net servicing costs (contractually specified servicing fees offset by direct servicing expenses) related to SBA loans were $41,000 and $110,000 for the three- and nine-month periods ended June 30, 2017, respectively. Net servicing income and costs are included in other noninterest income in the consolidated statements of income.

 

An analysis of SBA loan servicing rights for the three- and nine-month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 is as follows:

5.Investment in Historic Tax Credit Entity

 

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

 

The Bank’s investment in the historic tax credit entity is accounted for using the equity method of accounting. During the three- and nine-month periods ended June 30, 2018, the Bank recognized income related to distributions from the historic tax credit entity of $340,000. During the nine-month period ended June 30, 2017, the Company recognized impairment losses in noninterest income of $226,000 and recorded historic tax credits as an offset to income tax expense of $249,000.

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

 

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

 

  Level 1: Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices, unadjusted, for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.  A quoted market price in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of fair value and shall be used to measure fair value whenever available.
     
  Level 2: Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted market prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or inputs that are derived principally from or can be corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
     
  Level 3: Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.  Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using discounted cash flow methodologies, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

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

The Company’s valuation methodologies may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. While management believes the Company’s valuation methodologies are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date. Other than SBA loans held for sale (see discussion below), there have been no changes in the valuation techniques and related inputs used for assets measured at fair value on a recurring and nonrecurring basis during the nine-month period ended June 30, 2018.

 

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

 

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

 

Impaired loans are measured at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan's effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is a collateral-dependent loan. Collateral may be real estate and/or business assets, including equipment, inventory and/or accounts receivable, and its fair value is generally determined based on real estate appraisals or other independent evaluations by qualified professionals. The appraisals are generally then discounted by management in order to reflect management’s estimate of the fair value of the collateral given the current market conditions and the condition of the collateral. At June 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017, the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of impaired loans included discounts from appraised value ranging from 0.0% to 15.0% and estimated costs to sell the collateral ranging from 0.0% to 6.0%. During the nine-month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company recognized provisions for loan losses of $349,000 and $181,000, respectively, for impaired loans. During the three-month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company recognized provisions for loan losses of $331,000 and $139,000, respectively, for impaired loans.

Loans Held for Sale. Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or market value. The portfolio is comprised of residential mortgage loans and the guaranteed portion of SBA loans. At June 30, 2018, the fair value of residential mortgage loans held for sale is based on specific prices of the underlying contracts for sale to investors and is classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy, and the fair value of SBA loans held for sale reflects management’s estimate based on the weighted average price of SBA loans sold to investors during the prior quarter and is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. At September 30, 2017, the fair value of residential mortgage and SBA loans held for sale is based on specific prices of the underlying contracts for sale to investors, and is classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

 

Loan Servicing Rights. Loan servicing rights represent the value associated with servicing SBA loans that have been sold. The fair value of loan servicing rights is determined on a quarterly basis by an independent third party valuation model using market-based discount rate and prepayment assumptions, and is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. At June 30, 2018, the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of loan servicing rights included discount rates ranging from 10.46% to 16.40% with a weighted average of 12.37% and prepayment speed assumptions ranging from 3.97% to 13.30% with a weighted average rate of 9.64%. At September 30, 2017, the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of loan servicing rights included discount rates ranging from 9.12% to 13.90% with a weighted average of 11.66% and prepayment speed assumptions ranging from 2.94% to 8.87% with a weighted average rate of 6.63%. Impairment of the loan servicing rights is recognized on a quarterly basis through a valuation allowance to the extent that fair value is less than the carrying amount. The Company recognized $18,000 of impairment charges on loan servicing rights for the three- and nine-month periods ended June 30, 2018. The Company did not recognize any impairment charges on loan servicing rights for the three- and nine-month periods ended June 30, 2017.

 

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

 

Other real estate owned is reported at fair value less estimated costs to dispose of the property. The fair values are determined by real estate appraisals, which are then generally discounted by management in order to reflect management’s estimate of the fair value of the property given current market conditions and the condition of the property. At June 30, 2018, the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of other real estate owned included a discount from appraised value (including estimated costs to sell the property) ranging from 15.0% to 100% with a weighted average of 60.5%. At September 30, 2017, the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of other real estate owned included a discount from appraised value (including estimated costs to sell the property) ranging from 16.1% to 58.8% with a weighted average of 46.6%. The Company recognized charges of $4,000 and $63,000 to write-down other real estate owned to fair value for the three- and nine-month periods ended June 30, 2018. The Company recognized charges of $3,000 and $13,000 to write-down other real estate owned to fair value for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2017.

 

Transfers Between Categories. As previously described, management changed its valuation methodology related to SBA loans held for sale during the three-month period ended March 31, 2018, resulting in a change in classification from Level 2 to Level 3 for those types of instruments. Other than that change, there were no transfers into or out of Levels 1, 2, or 3 of the fair value hierarchy for the three- and nine-month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017.

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

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For cash and short-term instruments, including cash and due from banks, interest-bearing deposits with banks with original maturities of 90 days or less, and money market funds, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

 

Investment Securities and Interest-Bearing Time Deposits

 

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

 

Loans

 

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

 

The fair value of residential mortgage loans held for sale is estimated based on specific prices of underlying contracts for sales to investors, as previously described. The fair value of SBA loans held for sale at June 30, 2018 is estimated based on the weighted average price of similar loan sold to investors during the prior quarter, as previously discussed.

 

FRB and FHLB Stock

 

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

 

Loan Servicing Rights

 

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

 

Deposits

 

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

 

Borrowed Funds

 

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

10.Employee Stock Ownership Plan

 

On October 6, 2008, the Company established a leveraged employee stock ownership plan (“ESOP”) covering substantially all employees. The ESOP trust acquired 203,363 shares of Company common stock at a cost of $10.00 per share financed by a term loan with the Company. The employer loan and the related interest income are not recognized in the consolidated financial statements because the debt is serviced from Company contributions. Dividends payable on allocated shares are charged to retained earnings and are satisfied by the allocation of cash dividends to participant accounts or by utilizing the dividends as additional debt service on the ESOP loan. Dividends payable on unallocated shares are not considered dividends for financial reporting purposes. Shares held by the ESOP trust are allocated to participant accounts based on the ratio of the current year principal and interest payments to the total of the current year and future years’ principal and interest to be paid on the employer loan. Compensation expense is recognized based on the average fair value of shares released for allocation to participant accounts during the year with a corresponding credit to stockholders’ equity. The ESOP loan was repaid in full during the quarter ended December 31, 2015 and all shares have been allocated to participants in the plan therefore no compensation expense was recognized for the three- and nine-month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017. The ESOP trust held 155,907 and 161,115 shares of Company common stock at June 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017, respectively.

 

11.Stock Based Compensation Plans

 

The Company maintains two equity incentive plans under which stock options and restricted stock have or can be granted, the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (“2010 Plan”) approved by the Company’s shareholders in February 2010 and the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (“2016 Plan”) approved by the Company’s shareholders in February 2016. The aggregate number of shares of the Company’s common stock available for issuance under the 2016 Plan may not exceed 88,000 shares, consisting of 66,000 stock options and 22,000 shares of restricted stock. At June 30, 2018, 13,458 shares of the Company’s common stock were available for issuance under the 2010 Plan as stock options and 11,140 shares of the Company’s common stock were available for issuance under the 2016 Plan, consisting of 7,405 stock options and 3,735 shares of restricted stock.

Stock Options

 

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

 

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

 

The fair value of options granted during the nine-month period ended June 30, 2018 was determined using the following assumptions:

 

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

The intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the nine-month period ended June 30, 2018 was $2.8 million. The Company recognized compensation expense related to stock options of $17,000 and $50,000 for the three- and nine-month periods ended June 30, 2018, respectively. The company recognized compensation expense related to stock options of $16,000 and $39,000 for the three- and nine-month periods ended June 30, 2017, respectively. At June 30, 2018, there was $255,000 of unrecognized compensation expense related to nonvested stock options. The compensation expense is expected to be recognized over the remaining vesting period of 4.9 years.

 

Restricted Stock

 

The vesting period of restricted stock granted under the plans is generally five years beginning one year after the date of grant of the awards. Compensation expense is measured based on the fair market value of the restricted stock at the grant date and is recognized ratably over the vesting period. Compensation expense related to restricted stock recognized for the three- and nine-month periods ended June 30, 2018 was $37,000 and $111,000, respectively. Compensation expense related to restricted stock recognized for the three- and nine-month periods ended June 30, 2017 was $35,000 and $87,000, respectively.

 

A summary of the Company’s nonvested restricted shares activity as of June 30, 2018 and changes during the nine-month period then ended is presented below.

 

       Weighted 
   Number   Average 
   of   Grant Date

There were 3,453 restricted shares vested during the nine-month period ended June 30, 2018 and the total fair value that vested during the nine-month period ended June 30, 2018 was $195,000. There were no restricted shares that vested during the three-month period ended June 30, 2018 or the three- and nine-month periods ended June 30, 2017. At June 30, 2018 there was $517,000 of unrecognized compensation expense related to nonvested restricted shares. The compensation expense is expected to be recognized over the remaining vesting period of 4.4 years.

12.Regulatory Capital

 

The Company and Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Company’s and Bank’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company’s and Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

 

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total, Tier 1 and common equity Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and Tier 1 capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). The final rules implementing the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision’s capital guidelines for U.S. banks (“Basel III rules”) became effective for the Company and the Bank on January 1, 2015, with full compliance with all of the requirements being phased in over a multi-year schedule through 2019. Under the Basel III rules, the Bank must hold a conservation buffer above the adequately capitalized risk-based capital ratios disclosed in the table below. The capital conservation buffer is being phased in from 0.0% for 2015 to 2.5% by 2019. The capital conservation buffer was 1.25% for 2017 and is 1.875% for 2018. The Company and Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject as of June 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017.

 

As of June 30, 2018, the most recent notification from the Federal Reserve Bank categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, common equity Tier 1 risk-based and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the table below. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s category.

13.Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

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

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The update provides a five-step revenue recognition model for all revenue arising from contracts with customers and affects all entities that enter into contracts to provide goods or services to their customers (unless the contracts are included in the scope of other standards). The guidance requires an entity to recognize the 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. For public entities, the guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those reporting periods. Management is evaluating the new guidance, but does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

 

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. The guidance addresses certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments. In particular, the guidance revises an entity’s accounting related to (1) the classification and measurement of investments in equity securities and (2) the presentation of certain fair value changes for financial liabilities measured at fair value. The guidance also amends certain disclosure requirements associated with fair value of financial instruments. For public business entities, the guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities should apply the amendments by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The adoption of this update is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The guidance supersedes existing guidance on accounting for leases with the main difference being that operating leases are to be recorded in the statement of financial position as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, initially measured at the present value of the lease payments. For operating leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election not to recognize lease assets and liabilities. For public business entities, the guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application of the guidance is permitted. In transition, entities are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. Management is evaluating the new guidance and expects to report increased assets and liabilities as a result of recording right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. However, the magnitude of the adjustments is currently unknown.

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

 

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

14.Segment Reporting

 

The Company’s operations include two primary segments: core banking and SBA lending. The core banking segment originates residential, commercial and consumer loans and attracts deposits from its customer base. Net interest income from loans and investments that are funded by deposits and borrowings is the primary revenue for the core banking segment. The SBA lending segment originates loans guaranteed by the SBA, subsequently selling the guaranteed portion to outside investors. Net gains on sales of loans and net interest income are the primary sources of revenue for the SBA lending segment.

 

The core banking segment is comprised primarily by the Bank and First Savings Investments, Inc., while the SBA lending segment’s revenues are comprised primarily of net interest income and gains on the sales of SBA loans generated by Q2 beginning January 1, 2017 and SBA loan related income of the Bank prior to the formation of Q2.

 

The following segment financial information has been derived from the internal financial statements of the Company which are used by management to monitor and manage financial performance. The accounting policies of the two segments are the same as those of the Company. The amounts reflected in the “Other” column in the below tables represent combined balances of the Company and the Captive, and are the primary differences between the sum of the segment amounts and consolidated totals, along with amounts to eliminate transactions between segments.

Critical Accounting Policies

 

During the nine-month period ended June 30, 2018, there was no significant change in the Company's critical accounting policies or the application of critical accounting policies as disclosed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2017.

 

Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents increased $3.7 million from $34.3 million at September 30, 2017 to $38.0 million at June 30, 2018.

 

Loans. Net loans receivable increased $107.4 million, from $586.5 million at September 30, 2017 to $693.9 million at June 30, 2018, due primarily to increases in commercial real estate loans of $68.0 million, residential real estate loans of $22.6 million and commercial business loans of $12.9 million. The increase in net loans included $34.5 million of net loans acquired in the merger with The First National Bank of Odon (“FNBO”) on February 9, 2018.

 

Loans Held for Sale. Loans held for sale decreased $359,000, from $25.6 million at September 30, 2017 to $25.3 million at June 30, 2018, due to decreases in SBA loans held for sale of $2.6 million, and an increase in residential mortgage loans held for sale of $2.3 million. The Company originated $76.3 million of SBA loans held for sale in the secondary market for the nine-month period ended June 30, 2018 compared to $55.5 million in originations for the nine-month period ended June 30, 2017, as management continues to focus on expanding the SBA lending program. The increase in residential mortgage loans held for sale is due to additional staff hired during the three-month period ended June 30, 2018 for the purpose of expanding the Company’s mortgage banking activities.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Trading Account Securities. Trading account securities decreased $7.2 million, from $7.2 million at September 30, 2017. The Bank has ceased its trading account securities activity as of June 30, 2018.

 

Securities Available for Sale. Securities available for sale increased $30.0 million, from $178.1 million at September 30, 2017 to $208.1 million at June 30, 2018, due primarily to purchases of $44.5 million and $40.0 million acquired in the FNBO transaction, which more than offset sales of $37.3 million, calls and maturities of $1.3 million, principal repayments of $11.5 million and a net decrease in unrealized gains on securities available for sale of $4.3 million.

 

Securities Held to Maturity. Investment securities held to maturity decreased $191,000, from $2.9 million at September 30, 2017 to $2.7 million at June 30, 2018. There were no purchases of securities held to maturity, and partial calls and principal repayments on mortgage-backed securities and municipal obligations totaled $191,000 during the nine-month period ended June 30, 2018.

 

Deposits. Total deposits increased $165.4 million, from $669.4 million at September 30, 2017 to $834.8 million at June 30, 2018, due primarily to increases in interest bearing deposit accounts and non-interest bearing deposit accounts of $104.8 million and $60.5 million, respectively. These increases were due primarily to the $91.8 million in deposits assumed as part of the FNBO merger and an increase in brokered certificates of deposit of $36.0 million.

 

Borrowings. Borrowings from the FHLB decreased $28.1 million, from $118.1 million at September 30, 2017 to $90.0 million at June 30, 2018. The decrease in borrowings is due primarily to the use of brokered certificates of deposit as an alternative funding source.

 

Equity. Stockholders’ equity attributable to the Company was $97.6 million at June 30, 2018 and increased $4.5 million from $93.1 million September 30, 2017 due primarily to retained net income of $6.5 million, partially offset by the decrease in net unrealized gains on securities available for sale of $2.5 million.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2018 and 2017

 

Overview. The Company reported net income of $3.1 million, or $1.31 per diluted share, for the three-month period ended June 30, 2018 compared to net income of $2.4 million, or $1.04 per diluted share, for the three-month period ended June 30, 2017. The annualized return on average assets and average equity were 1.21% and 12.93%, respectively, for the three-month period ended June 30, 2018. The annualized return on average assets and average equity were 1.14% and 11.01%, respectively, for the three-month period ended June 30, 2017. The increase in net income for 2018 as compared to 2017 was due primarily to increases in net interest income and noninterest income, which more than offset an increase in noninterest expense.

 

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $2.0 million, or 26.2%, for the three-month period ended June 30, 2018 as compared to the same period in 2017. Average interest-earning assets increased $169.9 million and average interest-bearing liabilities increased $102.2 million when comparing the two periods. The tax-equivalent net interest margin was 4.05% for 2018 compared to 3.97% for 2017.

 

Total interest income increased $2.5 million, or 29.3%, when comparing the two periods due primarily to an increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets of $169.9 million, from $800.3 million for 2017 to $970.2 million for 2018, and an increase in the average tax equivalent yield on interest-earning assets from 4.54% for 2017 to 4.75% for 2018. The majority of the increase in average interest-earning assets was attributable to loans, which increased $134.4 million compared to 2017.

 

Total interest expense increased $567,000, or 50.1%, due to an increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities of $102.2 million, from $663.3 million for 2017 to $765.5 million for 2018, and an increase in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities from 0.68% for 2017 to 0.89% for 2018.

Rate/Volume Analysis. The following table sets forth the effects of changing rates and volumes on our net interest income on a tax equivalent basis for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017. The rate column shows the effects attributable to changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior volume). The volume column shows the effects attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior rate). The net column represents the sum of the prior columns. Changes attributable to changes in both rate and volume have been allocated proportionally based on the absolute dollar amounts of change in each.

Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses was $266,000 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2018 compared to $321,000, for the same period in 2017. The decrease in the provision for loans losses for 2018 as compared to the prior period was due primarily to a decrease in nonperforming loans. Gross loans increased approximately $11.6 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2018 compared to an increase of approximately $15.6 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2017.

 

The Company recognized net charge-offs of $104,000 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2018 compared to net charge-offs of $44,000 for the same period in 2017.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income increased $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to the same period in 2017. The increase was due primarily to increases in net gain on sales of loans guaranteed by the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”), income from the Bank’s tax credit investment entity and other income of $620,000, $340,000 and $282,000, respectively. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in net gain on trading account securities of $232,000. The net gain on sales of loans guaranteed by the SBA was $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to $938,000 for the same period in 2017. The increase in other income is primarily attributable to increased servicing income on SBA-guaranteed loans of $210,000. The net loss on trading account securities was $48,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to a net gain of $184,000 for the same period in 2017. The decrease in net gain (loss) on trading account securities is due to market volatility in the municipal bond sector during the periods. The Bank ceased its trading account securities activity as of June 30, 2018.

 

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense increased $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to the same period in 2017. The increase was due primarily to increases in compensation and benefits, occupancy and equipment, and other operating expenses of $1.3 million, $195,000 and $237,000, respectively, which included the initial operating expenses of the secondary-market residential mortgage lending division, as provided in the table below.

 

   Compensation   Occupancy   Other 
   & Benefits   & Equipment   Operating 
   (In thousands) 
Increase  $1,276   $195   $237 
Less: Initial secondary-market residential mortgage division operating expenses   475    98    30 
   $801   $97   $207 

 

The increase in compensation and benefits expense is attributable to the addition of new employees to support the growth of the Company, including its SBA and secondary-market residential mortgage lending activities, compensation for the employees retained in the merger with FNBO, and normal salary and benefits adjustments. The increase in occupancy and equipment expense is primarily attributable to increases in repairs, maintenance and software licensing expenses.

 

Income Tax Expense. The Company recognized income tax expense of $696,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2018, for an effective tax rate of 15.9%, as compared to income tax expense of $586,000, for an effective tax rate of 19.3%, for the same period in 2017. The decrease in the effective tax rate is due primarily to a reduction in the Company’s statutory federal income tax rate from 34.0% to 24.5% as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act enacted in December 2017, and net income attributable to noncontrolling interests of $571,000, which is pass-through income not subject to income tax at the entity level. The Company files federal income tax returns on a fiscal year basis, so in accordance with Internal Revenue Code regulations, the Company’s federal income tax rate for the tax year ending September 30, 2018 is based on a blended rate of 24.5%.

Rate/Volume Analysis. The following table sets forth the effects of changing rates and volumes on our net interest income on a tax equivalent basis for the nine-month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017. The rate column shows the effects attributable to changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior volume). The volume column shows the effects attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior rate). The net column represents the sum of the prior columns. Changes attributable to changes in both rate and volume have been allocated proportionally based on the absolute dollar amounts of change in each.

Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses was $1.1 million for the nine-month period ended June 30, 2018 compared to $1.0 million, for the same period in 2017. The increase in the provision for loans losses for 2018 as compared to the prior period was due primarily to growth in the loan portfolio. Gross loans increased approximately $73.9 million for the nine-month period ended June 30, 2018 (excluding loans acquired in the FNBO transaction) compared to an increase of approximately $46.7 million for the nine-month period ended June 30, 2017.

 

The Company recognized net charge-offs of $165,000 for the nine-month period ended June 30, 2018 compared to net charge-offs of $129,000 for the same period in 2017.

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income increased $2.9 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to the same period in 2017. The increase was due primarily to increases in net gain on sales of loans guaranteed by the SBA, income from the Bank’s tax credit investment entity and other income of $1.8 million, $566,000 and $511,000. The net gain on sales of loans guaranteed by the SBA was $4.6 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to $2.7 million for the same period in 2017. The increase in other income is primarily attributable to increased servicing income on SBA-guaranteed loans of $515,000. The net gain on trading account securities was $43,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to $113,000 for the same period in 2017.

 

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense increased $5.0 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to the same period in 2017. The increase was due primarily to increases in compensation and benefits, data processing, occupancy and equipment, professional fees, and other operating expenses of $2.5 million, $948,000, $569,000, $317,000 and $535,000, respectively, which included FNBO merger-related expenses and initial operating expenses of the secondary-market residential mortgage lending division, as provided in the table below.

 

   Data   Compensation   Occupancy   Professional   Other 
   Processing   & Benefits   & Equipment   Fees   Operating 
   (In thousands) 
Increase  $948   $2,497   $569   $317   $535 
Less: Merger-related   839    83    72    217    43 
Less: Initial secondary-market residential mortgage division operating expenses   -    475    98    58    30 
   $109   $1,939   $399   $42   $462 

 

The increase in compensation and benefits expense is attributable to the addition of new employees to support the growth of the Company, including its SBA and secondary-market residential mortgage lending activities, compensation for the retained FNBO employees, and normal salary and benefits adjustments. The increase in occupancy and equipment expense (excluding nonrecurring merger-related expense) is primarily attributable to increases in repairs, maintenance and software licensing expenses.

 

Income Tax Expense. The Company recognized income tax expense of $1.7 million for the nine-months ended June 30, 2018, for an effective tax rate of 15.0% as compared to income tax expense of $1.7 million, for an effective tax rate of 19.4%, for the same period in 2017. The decrease in the effective tax rate is due primarily to a reduction in the Company’s statutory federal income tax rate from 34.0% to 24.5% as a result of the enacted Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, and net income attributable to noncontrolling interests of $1.2 million, which is pass-through income not subject to income tax at the entity level.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Liquidity Management. Liquidity is the ability to meet current and future financial obligations of a short-term nature. The Bank’s primary sources of funds are customer deposits, proceeds from loan repayments, maturing securities and FHLB borrowings. While loan repayments and maturities are a predictable source of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by market interest rates, general economic conditions and competition. At June 30, 2018, the Bank had cash and cash equivalents of $38.0 million and securities available-for-sale with a fair value of $208.1 million. If the Bank requires funds beyond its ability to generate them internally, it has additional borrowing capacity with the FHLB, borrowing capacity on a federal funds purchased line of credit facility with another financial institution and additional collateral eligible for repurchase agreements.

 

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

 

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

 

The Company is a separate legal entity from the Bank and must provide for its own liquidity to pay its operating expenses and other financial obligations, to pay any dividends and to repurchase any of its outstanding common stock. The Company’s primary source of income is dividends received from the Bank and the Captive. The amount of dividends that the Bank may declare and pay to the Company in any calendar year cannot exceed net income for that year to date plus retained net income (as defined) for the preceding two calendar years. At June 30, 2018, the Company (unconsolidated basis) had liquid assets of $663,000.

 

Capital Management. The Bank is required to maintain specific amounts of capital pursuant to regulatory requirements. As of June 30, 2018, the Bank was in compliance with all regulatory capital requirements that were effective as of such date, with Tier 1 capital (to average total assets), common equity Tier 1 capital (to risk-weighted assets), Tier 1 capital (to risk-weighted assets) and total capital (to risk-weighted assets) ratios of 7.91%, 10.33%, 10.33% and 11.49%, respectively. The regulatory requirements at that date were 5.0%, 6.5%, 8.0% and 10.0%, respectively, in order to be categorized as “well capitalized” under applicable regulatory guidelines. At June 30, 2018, the Bank was considered “well-capitalized” under applicable regulatory guidelines.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

In the normal course of operations, the Company engages in a variety of financial transactions that, in accordance with GAAP, are not recorded on the Company's financial statements. These transactions involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, interest rate and liquidity risk. Such transactions are primarily used to manage customers’ requests for funding and take the form of loan commitments and letters of credit. A further presentation of the Company’s off-balance sheet arrangements is presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2017.

 

For the nine-month period ended June 30, 2018, the Company did not engage in any off-balance sheet transactions reasonably likely to have a material effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES

ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES

ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

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

 

   At June 30, 2018   At September 30, 2017 
Immediate Change  One Year Horizon   One Year Horizon 
in the Level  Dollar   Percent   Dollar   Percent 
of Interest Rates  Change   Change   Change   Change 
   (Dollars in thousands) 
300bp  $(1,140)   (3.18)%  $319    1.04%
200bp   766    2.14    332    1.08 
100bp   423    1.18    155    0.51 
(100)bp   (401)   (1.12)   (463)   (1.51)

 

At June 30, 2018, our simulated exposure to an increase in interest rates shows that an immediate and sustained increase in rates of 1.00% will increase our net interest income by $423,000, or 1.18%, over a one year horizon compared to a flat interest rate scenario. Furthermore, rate increases of 2.00% and 3.00% would cause net interest income to increase by 2.14% and decrease by 3.18%, respectively. Conversely, an immediate and sustained decrease in rates of 1.00% will decrease our net interest income by $401,000, or 1.12%, over a one year horizon compared to a flat interest rate scenario. All estimated changes presented in the above table are within the policy guidelines approved by the Company’s Board of Directors.
