EXPLANATORY NOTE

Effective July 16, 2019, First Seacoast Bancorp (the “Company,” “we” or “our”) became the stock holding company for First Seacoast Bank upon the reorganization of Federal Savings Bank into the mutual holding company structure. As part of the reorganization, Federal Savings Bank changed its name to First Seacoast Bank. As of June 30, 2019, the reorganization had not been completed, and the Company was in formation and had no assets or liabilities and had not conducted any business activities other than formational activities. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements and other financial information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q relate solely to Federal Savings Bank.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements and other financial information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes of Federal Savings Bank at December 31, 2018 and 2017 and for the years then ended contained in the Company’s definitive prospectus dated May 14, 2019 (the “Prospectus”), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Securities Act Rule 424(b)(3) on May 23, 2019.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Federal Savings Bank and Subsidiary (the “Bank”) were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim consolidated financial information, general practices within the banking industry and with instructions for Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these interim financial statements do not include all of the information or footnotes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements have been included. The results of operations for the interim periods disclosed herein are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire year. These statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, included in the definitive prospectus dated May 14, 2019 (the “Prospectus”), of First Seacoast Bancorp (the “Company”) as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on May 23, 2019 relating to the Company’s initial public offering.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Bank and its wholly-owned subsidiary, FSB Service Corporation, Inc. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

On February 28, 2019, the Bank’s Board of Directors adopted a Plan of Reorganization from Mutual Savings Bank to Mutual Holding Company and Stock Issuance Plan (the “Plan of Reorganization”). The stock offering that ended on June 18, 2019 was oversubscribed. Total stock subscriptions received at June 30, 2019 were $28.6 million. The Company sold a total of 2,676,740 shares of common stock, which includes 238,473 shares sold to the First Seacoast Bank Employee Stock Ownership Plan, at a price of $10.00 per share. The total offering value and number of shares of common stock determined based upon an independent appraiser’s valuation. In addition, as part of the reorganization, the Company issued 3,345,925 shares of common stock to First Seacoast Bancorp, MHC (the “MHC”), the Bank’s proposed parent mutual holding company, and 60,835 shares of common stock and $150,000 in cash to First Seacoast Community Foundation, Inc., a charitable foundation formed in connection with the reorganization and dedicated to supporting charitable organizations operating in the Bank’s local community. A total of 6,083,500 shares of common stock of the Company are issued and outstanding. On July 12, 2019 the Bank received all requisite regulatory approvals to close the Plan of Reorganization and the related stock offering by the Company (collectively, the “Reorganization”). Upon closing the Reorganization on July 16, 2019, the Bank changed its name to First Seacoast Bank. The Company’s common stock began trading on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “FSEA” on July 17, 2019. Pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization, the Bank reorganized into the mutual holding company form of ownership. The Bank converted to a stock savings bank and issued all of its outstanding stock to the Company. Pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization, the Bank’s Board of Directors adopted an employee stock ownership plan (“ESOP”), which subscribed for 3.92% of the common stock of the Company outstanding upon the completion of the Reorganization. The Company is organized as a corporation under the laws of the United States and offered 44% of its common stock for sale to the Bank’s eligible members, the ESOP, and certain other persons. In addition, the Company issued 1% of its outstanding shares of common stock, and cash, to a newly formed charitable foundation. First Seacoast Bancorp, MHC is organized as a mutual holding company under the laws of the United States and owns 55% of the outstanding common stock of the Company. The costs of the reorganization and common stock issuance have been deferred and will be deducted from the sales proceeds of the offering. At June 30, 2019, approximately $852,000 of these costs have been deferred.

Accounting Standards Adopted in 2019

As an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Title 1 of Jumpstart Our Business Startups (JOBS) Act, the Company has elected to use the extended transition period to delay adoption of new or reissued accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies until such pronouncements are made applicable to private companies. Accordingly, following the completion of the transactions contemplated by the Plan of Reorganization, the Company’s consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to the financial statements of public companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards. As of June 30, 2019, there is no significant difference in the comparability of the Bank’s consolidated financial statements as a result of this extended transition period. The Company’s status as an “emerging growth company” will end on the earlier of: (i) the last day of the fiscal year of the Company during which it had total annual gross revenues of $1.07 billion (as adjusted for inflation) or more; (ii) the last day of the fiscal year of the Company following the fifth anniversary of the effective date of the Company’s initial public offering; (iii) the date on which the Company has, during the previous three-year period, issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt; or (iv) the date on which the Company is deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” under Securities and Exchange Commission regulations (generally, at least $700 million of voting and non-voting equity held by non-affiliates).

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued amendments to Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) section 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” through issuance of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” The guidance in this ASU affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards (for example, insurance contracts or lease contracts). 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 or services. The guidance provides steps to follow to achieve the core principle. An entity should disclose sufficient information to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. Qualitative and quantitative information is required about contracts with customers, significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” The amendments in ASU 2015-14 defer the effective date of ASU 2014-09 for non-public business entities by one year to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018.

The Bank adopted this ASU as of January 1, 2019 utilizing the modified retrospective approach with no cumulative effect adjustment to opening equity capital deemed to be necessary. Our revenue is comprised of net interest income on financial assets and financial liabilities, which is explicitly excluded from the scope of ASU 2014-09, and non-interest income. This ASU did not materially impact the Bank’s consolidated financial statements.

The majority of our revenue-generating transactions are not subject to ASC 606, including revenue generated from financial instruments, such as our loans, letters of credit, investment securities, as well as revenue related to our mortgage servicing activities. Descriptions of our revenue-generating activities that are within the scope of ASC 606, which are presented in our consolidated statements of income as components of non-interest income, are as follows:

 

   

Customer service fees—these represent general service fees for monthly account maintenance and activity- or transaction-based fees and consist of transaction-based revenue, time-based revenue (service period), item-based revenue or some other individual attribute-based revenue. Revenue is recognized when our performance obligation is completed which is generally monthly for account maintenance services or when a transaction has been completed (such as a wire transfer, debit card transaction or ATM withdrawal). Payment for such performance obligations are generally received at the time the performance obligations are satisfied.

 

   

Investment service fees—these represent fees for investment advisory services which are generally based on the market values of assets under management. Assets under management totaled approximately $43.3 million and $39.1 million at June 30, 2019 (unaudited) and December 31, 2018, respectively. Our wealth management group, FSB Wealth Management, assists individuals and families in building and preserving their wealth by providing investment services. The investment management group manages portfolios utilizing a variety of investment products. This group also provides a full-service brokerage offering equities, mutual funds, life insurance, and annuity products.

In January 2016 the FASB issued ASU 2016-01,Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” The amendments in this ASU address certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments and makes targeted improvements to GAAP as follows:

 

  1.

Require equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income; however, an entity may choose to measure equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer.

 

  2.

Simplify the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment. When a qualitative assessment indicates that impairment exists, an entity is required to measure the investment at fair value.

 

  3.

Eliminate 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 at amortized cost on the balance sheet.

 

  4.

Require public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes.

 

  5.

Require an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments.

 

  6.

Require separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial assets (that is, securities or loans and receivables) on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financial statements.

 

  7.

Clarify that an entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities in combination with the entity’s other deferred tax assets.

The amendments of this ASU were adopted on January 1, 2019 and did not materially impact the Bank’s consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15,Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments.” This ASU provides guidance on the classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments for presentation in the statement of cash flows and is effective for non-public business entities for fiscal year’s beginning after December 15, 2018. This ASU was adopted on January 1, 2019 and did not materially impact the Bank’s consolidated financial statements.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash.” This ASU requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. This ASU is effective for non-public business entities for fiscal year’s beginning after December 15, 2018. This ASU was adopted on January 1, 2019 and did not materially impact the Bank’s consolidated financial statements.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, “Compensation-Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost.” This ASU is meant to improve the presentation of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost. The amendments in this ASU require that an employer report the service cost component in the same line item or items as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. The other components of net benefit cost are required to be presented in the income statement separately. The amendments in the ASU are effective for non-public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance on January 1, 2019 did not have a material impact on the Bank’s consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02,Leases (Topic 842).” Under the new guidance, lessees are required to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet 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. The new standard is effective for non-public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-10,Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases,” which seeks to clarify ASU 2016-02 with respect to certain aspects of the update and ASU 2018-11,Leases (Topic 842) – Targeted Improvements,” which provides transition relief on comparative reporting upon adoption of the ASU. The Bank currently has no leases with terms longer than 12 months. The Bank does not expect these ASUs to have a material impact on the Bank’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” which creates a new credit impairment standard for financial assets measured at amortized cost and available-for-sale debt securities. The ASU requires financial assets measured at amortized cost (including loans and held-to-maturity debt securities) to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected, through an allowance for credit losses that are expected to occur over the remaining life of the asset, rather than incurred losses. The ASU requires that credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities be presented as an allowance rather than as a direct write-down. The measurement of credit losses for newly recognized financial assets (other than certain purchased assets) and subsequent changes in the allowance for credit losses are recorded in the statement of income as the amounts expected to be collected change. The ASU was originally to be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses,” extending the implementation date by one year for nonpublic business entities and clarifying that operating lease receivables are outside the scope of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 326. In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments,” to increase stakeholders’ awareness of the amendments and to expedite improvements to the Codification. In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, Topic 326.” This ASU addresses certain stakeholders’ concerns by providing an option to irrevocably elect the fair value option for certain financial assets previously measured at amortized cost basis. For those entities, the targeted transition relief will increase comparability of financial statement information by providing an option to align measurement methodologies for similar financial assets. Furthermore, the targeted transition relief also may reduce the costs for some entities to comply with the amendments in Update 2016-13 while still providing financial statement users with decision-useful information. On July 17, 2019 the FASB proposed to delay the implementation of this standard for smaller reporting companies to years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Bank meets the definition of a smaller reporting company because its public float is less than $250 million. FASB’s proposal will undergo a 30-day public comment period in August 2019. If the implementation is delayed as proposed, the Bank will evaluate when it will adopt this standard. Early adoption is permitted. Upon adoption, however, the Bank will apply the standard’s provisions as a cumulative effect adjustment to equity capital as of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. Upon adoption, the Bank expects a change in the processes and procedures to calculate the allowance for loan losses, including changes in the assumptions and estimates to consider expected credit losses over the life of the loan versus the current accounting practice that utilizes the incurred loss model. The Bank is reviewing the requirements of ASU 2016-13 and is developing and implementing processes and procedures to ensure it is fully compliant with the amendments at the adoption date. At this time, the Bank anticipates the allowance for loan losses will increase as a result of the implementation of this ASU; however, until its evaluation is complete, the magnitude of the increase will be unknown.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.” The purpose of this ASU is to improve the effectiveness of disclosures in the notes to financial statements by facilitating clear communication of the information required by GAAP that is most important to users of each entity’s financial statements. The amendments in this ASU are effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted upon issuance of this ASU. An entity is permitted to early adopt any removed or modified disclosures upon issuance of this ASU and delay adoption of the additional disclosures until their effective date. The amendments removed the disclosure requirements for transfers between Levels 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the policy for timing of transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy and the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. Additionally, the amendments modified the disclosure requirements for investments in certain entities that calculate net asset value and measurement uncertainty. Finally, the amendments added disclosure requirements for the changes in unrealized gains and losses included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements and the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 measurements. The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Bank’s consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, “Compensation—Retirement Benefits – Defined Benefit Plans – General (Subtopic 715-20).” The purpose of this ASU is to improve the effectiveness of disclosures in the notes to financial statements by facilitating clear communication of the information required by GAAP that is most important to users of each entity’s financial statements. The amendments in this ASU are effective for non-public business entities for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments modified the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. The amendments in this ASU should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Bank’s consolidated financial statements.

In evaluating whether the investments have suffered an other-than-temporary decline, management evaluated the amount of the decline compared to cost, the length of time and extent to which fair value has been less than cost, the underlying creditworthiness of the issuer, the fair values exhibited during the year and estimated future fair values. In general, management concluded the declines are due to coupon rates compared to market rates and current economic conditions. The Bank does not intend to sell investments with unrealized losses and it is more likely than not that the Bank will not be required to sell these investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis. Based on evaluations of the underlying issuers’ financial condition, current trends and economic conditions, management does not believe any securities suffered an other-than-temporary decline in value as of June 30, 2019 (unaudited) or December 31, 2018.

Gross realized gains were $7,000 and $-0- and gross realized losses were $9,000 and $-0- for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 (unaudited), respectively. Proceeds related to these gains and losses totaled $6.3 million and $221,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 (unaudited), respectively.

Loans

The Bank’s lending activities are primarily conducted in and around Dover, New Hampshire, and in the areas surrounding its branches. The Bank grants commercial real estate loans, multifamily 5+ dwelling unit loans, commercial and industrial loans, acquisition, development and land loans, 1–4 family residential loans, home equity line of credit loans and consumer loans. Most loans granted by the Bank are collateralized by real estate. The ability and willingness of real estate, commercial and construction loan borrowers to honor their repayment commitments is generally dependent on the health of the real estate sector in the borrowers’ geographic area and the general economy.

Credit Quality Information

The Bank utilizes a ten-grade internal loan rating system for its commercial real estate, multifamily, commercial and industrial and acquisition, development and land loans. Residential real estate, home equity line of credit and consumer loans are considered “pass” rated loans until they become delinquent. Once delinquent, loans can be rated an 8, 9 or 10 as applicable.

Loans rated 1 through 6: Loans in these categories are considered “pass” rated loans with low to average risk.

Loans rated 7: Loans in this category are considered “special mention.” These loans are starting to show signs of potential weakness and are being closely monitored by management.

Loans rated 8: Loans in this category are considered “substandard.” Generally, a loan is considered substandard if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligors and/or the collateral pledged. There is a distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the weakness is not corrected.

Loans rated 9: Loans in this category are considered “doubtful.” 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 currently existing facts, highly questionable and improbable.

Loans rated 10: Loans in this category are considered uncollectible (“loss”) and of such little value that their continuance as loans is not warranted and should be charged off.

On an annual basis, or more often if needed, the Bank formally reviews the ratings on its commercial and industrial, commercial real estate, and multifamily loans. On a periodic basis, the Bank engages an independent third party to review a significant portion of loans within these segments and to assess the credit risk management practices of its commercial lending department. Management uses the results of these reviews as part of its annual review process and overall credit risk administration.

On a quarterly basis, the Bank formally reviews the ratings on its applicable residential real estate and home equity loans if they have become classified as non-accrual. Criteria used to determine ratings consist of loan-to-value ratios and days delinquent.

Loan Servicing

Loans serviced for others are not included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The unpaid principal balances of such loans were $48.3 million and $49.2 million at June 30, 2019 (unaudited) and December 31, 2018, respectively. Substantially all of these loans were originated by the Bank and sold to third parties on a non-recourse basis with servicing rights retained. These retained servicing rights are recorded as a servicing asset and are initially recorded at fair value (see Note 10, Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities, for more information). Changes to the balance of mortgage servicing rights are recorded in loan servicing fee (loss) income in the Bank’s consolidated statements of income.

The Bank’s mortgage servicing activities include collecting principal, interest, and escrow payments from borrowers; making tax and insurance payments on behalf of borrowers; monitoring delinquencies and executing foreclosure proceedings; and accounting for and remitting principal and interest payments to investors. Loan servicing fee (loss) income, including late and ancillary fees, was $(20) and $4 (in thousands) for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 (unaudited), respectively and $(25) and $74 (in thousands) for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 (unaudited), respectively. Servicing fee (loss) income is recorded in loan servicing fee (loss) income in the Bank’s consolidated statements of income. The Bank’s residential mortgage investor loan servicing portfolio is primarily comprised of fixed rate loans concentrated in the Bank’s market areas.

All borrowings from the FHLB are secured by a blanket security agreement on qualified collateral, principally residential mortgage loans and certain U.S. government sponsored mortgage-backed securities in an aggregate amount equal to outstanding advances. The Bank’s unused remaining available borrowing capacity at the FHLB was approximately $88.5 million and $72.1 million at June 30, 2019 (unaudited) and December 31, 2018, respectively. At June 30, 2019 (unaudited) and December 31, 2018, the Bank had sufficient collateral at the FHLB to support its obligations and was in compliance with the FHLB’s collateral pledging program.

The Bank has an overnight line of credit with the FHLB that may be drawn up to $3.0 million. Additionally, the Bank has a total of $5.0 million of unsecured Fed Funds borrowing lines of credit with two correspondent banks. The entire balance of all these credit facilities was available at June 30, 2019 (unaudited).

Employee Benefits

401(k) Plan

During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Bank sponsored two 401(k) defined contribution plans for substantially all employees pursuant to which employees of the Bank could elect to make contributions to the plans subject to Internal Revenue Service limits. The Bank also made matching and profit-sharing contributions to eligible participants in accordance with the plans’ provisions. As of December 31, 2018, these plans were combined into one defined contribution plan. The Bank’s contributions for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 (unaudited) were $45 and $32 (in thousands), respectively, and $79 and $64 (in thousands) for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 (unaudited), respectively.

Pension Plan

The Bank participates in the Pentegra Defined Benefit Plan for Financial Institutions (The Pentegra DB Plan), a tax-qualified defined benefit pension plan. The Pentegra DB Plan operates as a multi-employer plan for accounting purposes and as a multiple-employer plan under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 and the Internal Revenue Code. There are no collective bargaining agreements in place that require contributions to the Pentegra DB Plan. The Pentegra DB Plan is a single plan under Internal Revenue Code Section 413 (c) and, as a result, all of the assets stand behind all of the liabilities. Accordingly, under the Pentegra DB Plan, contributions made by a participating employer may be used to provide benefits to participants of other participating employers.

The funded status (fair value of plan assets divided by funding target) as of July 1, 2018 is as follows:

 

2018 Valuation Report

     91.32 %(1) 

 

  (1) 

Fair value of plan assets reflects any contributions received through June 30, 2018.

Based upon the funded status of the Pentegra DB Plan as of July 1, 2018, no funding improvement plan or rehabilitation plan has been implemented or is pending as of June 30, 2019 (unaudited).

Total pension plan expense for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 (unaudited) was $86 and $102 (in thousands), respectively, and $173 and $204 (in thousands) for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 (unaudited), respectively, and is included in salaries and employee benefits expense in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The Bank did not pay a surcharge to the Pentegra DB Plan during the three or six months ended June 30, 2019 (unaudited). The Bank enacted a “hard freeze” for the Pentegra DB Plan as of December 31, 2018, eliminating all future service-related accruals for participants. Prior to this enactment the Bank maintained a “soft freeze” status that continued service-related accruals for its active participants with no new participants permitted into the Pentegra DB Plan. The Bank estimates a contribution amount of approximately $346 (in thousands) for the year ending December 31, 2019.

Regulatory Matters

The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below). Management believes that, as of June 30, 2019 (unaudited) and December 31, 2018, the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject, including the capital conservation buffer, at those dates.

As fully phased in on January 1, 2019, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision’s capital guidelines for U.S. banks (“Basel III Capital Rules”) require the Bank to maintain (i) a minimum ratio of Common Equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 4.5%, plus a 2.5% “capital conservation buffer” (effectively resulting in a minimum ratio of Common Equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 7.0%), (ii) a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 6.0%, plus the capital conservation buffer (effectively resulting in a minimum Tier 1 capital ratio of 8.5%), (iii) a minimum ratio of Total capital (that is, Tier 1 plus Tier 2) to risk-weighted assets of at least 8.0%, plus the capital conservation buffer (effectively resulting in a minimum total capital ratio of 10.5%) and (iv) a minimum leverage ratio of 4.0%, calculated as the ratio of Tier 1 capital to average quarterly assets. The capital conservation buffer is designed to absorb losses during periods of economic stress and effectively increases the minimum required risk-weighted capital ratios. Banking institutions with a ratio of Common Equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets below the effective minimum will face constraints on dividends, equity repurchases and compensation based on the amount of the shortfall.

The following table presents actual and required capital ratios as of June 30, 2019 (unaudited) and December 31, 2018 for the Bank under the Basel III Capital Rules. The minimum required capital amounts presented include the minimum required capital levels as of June 30, 2019 (unaudited) and December 31, 2018 based on the phase-in provisions of the Basel III Capital Rules and the minimum required capital levels as of January 1, 2019 when the Basel III Capital Rules have been fully phased-in. Capital levels required to be considered well capitalized are based upon prompt corrective action regulations, as amended to reflect the changes under the Basel III Capital Rules.

Fair Values of Assets and Liabilities

Determination of Fair Value

The fair value of an asset or liability is 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. The Bank uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date, including during periods of market dislocation. In periods of market dislocation, the observability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many instruments. This condition could cause an instrument to be reclassified from one level to another. Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices. However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Bank’s various assets and liabilities. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value of cash flows or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument.

 

21


Table of Contents

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

Level 1 - Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 - Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 - Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

For assets and liabilities, fair value is based upon the lowest level of observable input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

In general, fair value is based upon quoted market prices, where available. If such quoted market prices are not available, fair value is based upon models that primarily use, as inputs, observable market-based parameters. The Bank’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 Bank’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. Furthermore, the reported fair value amounts have not been comprehensively revalued since the presentation dates, and therefore, estimates of fair value after the balance sheet date may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein. A more detailed description of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value is set forth below. A description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, is set forth below. These valuation methodologies were applied to all of the Bank’s financial assets and financial liabilities carried at fair value for June 30, 2019 (unaudited) and December 31, 2018. There were no significant transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy during the three or six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 (unaudited).

Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities: Financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis include the following:

Securities Available-for-Sale: The Bank’s investment in U.S. Government-sponsored entities bonds, mortgage-backed securities and other municipal bonds is generally classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. For these securities, the Bank obtains fair value measurements from independent pricing services. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include reported trades, dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. treasury yield curve, trading levels, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the instrument’s terms and conditions.

Mortgage Servicing Rights: Fair value is based on a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income. The valuation model utilizes interest rate, prepayment speed, and default rate assumptions that market participants would use in estimating future net servicing income and that can be validated against available market data (see Note 4, Loan Servicing, for more information).

See Note 4, Loan Servicing, for a rollforward of our Level 3 item and related inputs and assumptions used to determine fair value at June 30, 2019 (unaudited).

Certain financial assets and financial liabilities are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis; that is, the instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment). Financial assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis during the reported periods may include certain impaired loans reported at the fair value of the underlying collateral. Fair value is measured using appraised values of collateral and adjusted as necessary by management based on unobservable inputs for specific properties. However, the choice of observable data is subject to significant judgment, and there are often adjustments based on judgment in order to make observable data comparable and to consider the impact of time, the condition of properties, interest rates, and other market factors on current values. Additionally, commercial real estate appraisals frequently involve discounting of projected cash flows, which relies inherently on unobservable data. Therefore, real estate collateral related nonrecurring fair value measurement adjustments have generally been classified as Level 3.

Estimates of fair value used for other collateral supporting commercial loans generally are based on assumptions not observable in the marketplace and therefore such valuations have been classified as Level 3. Financial assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis during the reported periods also include loans held for sale. Residential mortgage loans held for sale are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value and are therefore measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. The fair values for loans held for sale are estimated based on commitments in effect from investors or prevailing market prices for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality and are included in Level 3.

There were no impaired loans that were remeasured and reported at fair value through either a charge off or a specific valuation allowance based upon the fair value of the underlying collateral or loans held for sale at June 30, 2019 (unaudited) and December 31, 2018.

Non-Financial Assets and Non-Financial Liabilities: The Bank has no non-financial assets or non-financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Non-financial assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis generally include certain foreclosed assets which, upon initial recognition, were remeasured and reported at fair value through a charge-off to the allowance for loan losses and certain foreclosed assets which, subsequent to their initial recognition, are remeasured at fair value through a write-down included in other non-interest expense. There were no foreclosed assets at June 30, 2019 (unaudited) and December 31, 2018.

Table of Contents

ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments,” requires disclosure of the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities, including those financial assets and financial liabilities that are not measured and reported at fair value on a recurring basis or non-recurring basis. The methodologies for estimating the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis are discussed above. The estimated fair value approximates carrying value for cash and due from banks, interest bearing time deposits with other banks, Federal Home Loan Bank stock, bank owned life insurance, accrued interest receivable and mortgagors’ tax escrow accounts. ASU 2016-01 requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes. The exit price notion is a market-based measurement of fair value that is represented by the price to sell an asset or transfer a liability in the principal market (or most advantageous market in the absence of a principal market) on the measurement date. For June 30, 2019, fair values of loans are estimated on an exit price basis incorporating discounts for credit, liquidity and marketability factors. This is not comparable with the fair values disclosed for December 31, 2018, which were based on an entrance price basis.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

General

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is intended to assist in understanding Federal Savings Bank’s consolidated financial condition at June 30, 2019 and consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. It should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and the related notes appearing in Part I, Item 1, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements, which can be identified by the use of words such as “estimate,” “project,” “believe,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “seek,” “expect,” “will,” “may” and words of similar meaning. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:

 

 

statements of our goals, intentions and expectations;

 

 

statements regarding our business plans, prospects, growth and operating strategies;

 

 

statements regarding the quality of our loan and investment portfolios; and

 

 

estimates of our risks and future costs and benefits.

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

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

 

 

general economic conditions, either nationally or in our market areas, that are worse than expected;

 

 

changes in the level and direction of loan delinquencies and write-offs and changes in estimates of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses;

 

 

our ability to access cost-effective funding;

 

 

fluctuations in real estate values and both residential and commercial real estate market conditions;

 

 

demand for loans and deposits in our market area;

 

 

our ability to implement and change our business strategies;

 

 

competition among depository and other financial institutions;

 

 

inflation and changes in the interest rate environment that reduce our margins and yields, our mortgage banking revenues, the fair value of financial instruments or our level of loan originations, or increase the level of defaults, losses and prepayments on loans we have made and make;

 

 

adverse changes in the securities or secondary mortgage markets;

 

 

changes in laws or government regulations or policies affecting financial institutions, including changes in regulatory fees and capital requirements, including as a result of Basel III;

 

 

the impact of the Dodd-Frank Act and implementing regulations;

 

 

changes in the quality or composition of our loan or investment portfolios;

 

 

technological changes that may be more difficult or expensive than expected;

 

 

the inability of third-party providers to perform as expected;

 

 

our ability to manage market risk, credit risk and operational risk in the current economic environment;

 

 

our ability to enter new markets successfully and capitalize on growth opportunities;

 

25


Table of Contents
 

system failures or breaches of our network security;

 

 

electronic fraudulent activity within the financial services industry;

 

 

our ability to successfully integrate into our operations any assets, liabilities, customers, systems and management personnel we may acquire and our ability to realize related revenue synergies and cost savings within expected time frames, and any goodwill charges related thereto;

 

 

changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits;

 

 

changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the bank regulatory agencies, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the Securities and Exchange Commission or the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board;

 

 

our ability to retain key employees;

 

 

our compensation expense associated with equity allocated or awarded to our employees; and

 

 

changes in the financial condition, results of operations or future prospects of issuers of securities that we own.

Additional factors that may affect our results are discussed in the Prospectus under the heading “Risk Factors.”

Because of these and other uncertainties, our actual future results may be materially different from the results indicated by these forward-looking statements.

Critical Accounting Policies

The discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles used in the United States of America. 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 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.

Our critical accounting policies involve the calculation of the allowance for loan losses and the measurement of the fair value of financial instruments. On January 1, 2019 the Company adopted the amendments of ASU 2016-01, “Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Liabilities” which addressed certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments and included the requirement that public business entities use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes. The adoption of this ASU did not materially impact the Bank’s consolidated financial statements. A detailed description of these critical accounting policies can be found in Notes 1 and 15, respectively, to our consolidated financial statements beginning on page F-1 of the Prospectus.

Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2019 (unaudited) and December 31, 2018

Total Assets. Total assets were $406.8 million as of June 30, 2019, an increase of $19.7 million, or 5.1%, when compared to total assets of $387.1 million at December 31, 2018. The increase was due primarily to increases in cash and due from banks, securities available-for-sale and net loans.

Cash and Due From Banks. Cash and due from banks increased $4.8 million, or 80.8%, to $10.6 million at June 30, 2019 from $5.9 million at December 31, 2018. This increase was primarily due to the increase in deposits during the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Table of Contents

Available-for-Sale Securities. Available-for-sale securities increased by $4.1 million, or 10.3%, to $43.5 million at June 30, 2019 from $39.4 million at December 31, 2018. This increase was due to purchases totaling $9.9 million and a $1.2 million decrease in unrealized holding losses within the portfolio, offset by sales totaling $7.0 million, during the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Net Loans. Net loans increased $13.2 million, or 4.1%, to $331.8 million at June 30, 2019 from $318.6 million at December 31, 2018. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we originated $55.4 million of loans, including $25.0 million of one- to four-family residential mortgage loans, $9.4 million of commercial real estate mortgage loans, $12.0 million of acquisition, development and land loans, $4.2 million of commercial and industrial loans, $2.5 million of multi-family loans, and $2.2 million of consumer and home equity loans and lines of credit. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we had $42.2 million in loan principal repayments.

The largest increases in our loan portfolio were in the one- to four-family residential mortgage loan and the commercial real estate mortgage loan portfolios. The increase in these loan portfolios reflects our strategy to grow the balance sheet through originations of one- to four-family residential mortgage loans while also diversifying into higher yielding commercial real estate mortgage loans to improve net margins and manage interest rate risk. We continue to consider selling selected, conforming 15-year and 30-year fixed rate mortgage loans to the secondary market on a servicing retained basis, providing us a recurring source of revenue from loan servicing income and gains on the sale of such loans.

One- to four-family residential mortgage loans increased $8.1 million, or 4.0%, to $209.9 million at June 30, 2019 from $201.8 million at December 31, 2018. Commercial real estate mortgage loans increased $4.6 million, or 7.3%, to $68.5 million from $63.9 million at December 31, 2018. Multi-family loans decreased $0.1 million, or 1.8%, to $4.8 million from $4.9 million at December 31, 2018. Commercial and industrial loans decreased $0.4 million, or 1.7%, to $21.6 million from $22.0 million at December 31, 2018. Acquisition, development and land loans decreased $0.2 million, or 1.2%, to $15.4 million from $15.6 million at December 31, 2018. Home equity loans and lines of credit decreased $28,000, or 0.3%, to $11.1 million from $11.2 million at December 31, 2018. Consumer loans increased $1.1 million, or 82.5%, to $2.4 million from $1.3 million at December 31, 2018.

Deposits. Deposits increased $9.5 million, or 3.4%, to $283.9 million at June 30, 2019 from $274.4 million at December 31, 2018. Core deposits (defined as deposits other than time deposits) decreased $3.0 million, or 1.4%, to $208.8 million from $211.8 million at December 31, 2018. The decrease was due to a decrease in money market deposits of $2.0 million and a decrease in regular and other savings of $1.4 million offset by an increase in NOW and demand deposits of $0.4 million. Time deposits increased $12.4 million, or 19.8%, to $75.0 million from $62.6 million at December 31, 2018. At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, time deposits included $10.1 million and $-0- of brokered deposits, respectively.

Advances from Federal Home Loan Bank. Advances from Federal Home Loan Bank decreased $19.7 million, or 26.0%, to $56.0 million at June 30, 2019 from $75.7 million at December 31, 2018.

Stock Subscriptions. Stock subscriptions was $28.6 million at June 30, 2019 from $-0- million at December 31, 2018. The increase was due to subscription funds received and held on deposit in advance of the closing of the Company’s stock offering.

Total Equity Capital. Total equity capital increased $1.3 million, or 3.9%, to $34.0 million at June 30, 2019 from $32.7 million at December 31, 2018. This increase was due to net income of $391,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and other comprehensive income of $887,000 related to net changes in unrealized holding gains/losses in the available-for-sale securities portfolio.

Nonperforming Assets. Non-performing assets include loans that are 90 or more days past due or on non-accrual status, including troubled debt restructurings on non-accrual status, and real estate and other loan collateral acquired through foreclosure and repossession. Troubled debt restructurings include loans for which either a portion of interest or principal has been forgiven, or loans modified at interest rates materially less than current market rates.

Management determines that a loan is impaired or nonperforming when it is probable at least a portion of the loan will not be collected in accordance with the original terms due to a deterioration in the financial condition of the borrower or the value of the underlying collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. When a loan is determined to be impaired, the measurement of the loan in the allowance for loan losses is based on present value of expected future cash flows, except that all collateral-dependent loans are measured for impairment based on the fair value of the collateral. Non-accrual loans are loans for which collectability is questionable and, therefore, interest on such loans will no longer be recognized on an accrual basis.

Table of Contents

We generally cease accruing interest on our loans when contractual payments of principal or interest have become 90 days past due or management has serious doubts about further collectability of principal or interest, even though the loan is currently performing. Interest received on non-accrual loans generally is applied against principal, or applied to interest on a cash basis. Generally, loans are restored to accrual status when the obligation is brought current, has performed in accordance with the contractual terms for at least six consecutive months and the ultimate collectability of the total contractual principal and interest is no longer in doubt.

Nonperforming loans were $312 and $68 (in thousands), or 0.09% and 0.02% of total loans, at June 30, 2019 (unaudited) and December 31, 2018, respectively.    At June 30, 2019 (unaudited) and December 31, 2018 we had no troubled debt restructurings or foreclosed assets.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 (unaudited)

Net Income. Net income was $213,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to net income of $254,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2018, a decrease of $41,000, or 16.1%. The decrease was due to a $177,000 increase in non-interest expense, partially offset by a $17,000 increase in non-interest income, a $79,000 increase in net interest income after provision for loan losses and a $40,000 decrease in the provision for income taxes during the three months ended June 30, 2019.

Interest and Dividend Income. Interest and dividend income increased $384,000, or 11.0%, to $3.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $3.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. This increase was due to a $289,000 increase in interest and fees on loans, primarily due to an increase of $18.4 million in the average balance of the loan portfolio to $332.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $313.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018, and a $95,000 increase in interest and dividend income on investments, or 31.3%, to $399,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $304,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The weighted average annualized yield for the loan portfolio increased to 4.20% for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from 4.08% for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The weighted average annualized yield for the investment portfolio increased to 2.80% for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from 2.43% for the three months ended June 30, 2018.

Average interest-earning assets increased $27.0 million, to $388.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $361.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The annualized yield on interest earning-assets increased 13 basis points to 4.00% for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from 3.87% for the three months ended June 30, 2018.

Interest Expense. Total interest expense increased $310,000, or 41.0%, to $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $757,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2018. Interest expense on deposit accounts increased $173,000, or 44.5%, to $562,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $389,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits to $225.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $210.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018, an increase of $15.5 million, or 7.4%, and an increase in the weighted average annualized rate to 1.00% for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from 0.74% for the three months ended June 30, 2018.

Interest expense on Federal Home Loan Bank advances increased $137,000, or 37.2%, to $505,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $368,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The average balance increased $1.5 million, or 2.0%, to $78.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $77.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in the average balance of Federal Home Loan Bank advances is due primarily to management utilizing advances as a funding source for loan originations. The weighted average annualized rate of borrowings increased to 2.57% for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from 1.91% for the three months ended June 30, 2018.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $74,000, or 2.7%, to $2.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $2.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. This increase was due to an increase in the balance of interest-earning assets during the three months ended June 30, 2019, partially offset by a decrease in the annualized interest rate spread to 2.61% for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from 2.83% for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and a decrease in the annualized net interest margin to 2.90% for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from 3.04% for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The decreases in the annualized

 

28


Table of Contents

interest rate spread and the annualized net interest margin were primarily due to the increase in the average balance of our interest-bearing liabilities to $306.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $289.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and an increase in the annualized weighted average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities to 1.39% for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from 1.05% for the three months ended June 30, 2018.

Provision for Loan Losses. Based on management’s analysis of the allowance for loan losses, we recorded a $25,000 provision for loan losses for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $30,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2018.

Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income increased $17,000, or 5.0%, to $358,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $341,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in non-interest income during the three months ended June 30, 2019 was due primarily to a $16,000 increase in gain on sale of loans and a $20,000 increase in investment services fees offset by a $24,000 decrease in loan servicing fee income, reflecting a decrease in the fair value of our mortgage servicing intangible asset during the three months ended June 30, 2019.

Non-Interest Expense. Non-interest expense increased $177,000, or 6.4%, to $2.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $2.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The increase was due primarily to a $255,000, or 16.0%, increase in salaries and employee benefits and director compensation fees and a $40,000, or 32.0%, increase in marketing expenses, offset by decreases of $25,000, or 12.9%, in occupancy expenses and $157,000, or 64.9%, in technology expenses. The increase in salaries and benefits during the three months ended June 30, 2019 was due to filling vacant positions, as well as normal salary increases. The decrease in technology expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2019 was primarily due to the receipt of proceeds from an insurance claim and lower data processing fees as a result of a new core processing contract.

Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes decreased by $40,000, or 87.0%, to $6,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $46,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The effective tax rate was 2.7% and 15.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The reduction in the effective tax rate was primarily due to the impact of an increase in non-taxable interest income, a state tax credit and a state net operating loss carryforward.

Average Balance Sheets

The following tables set forth average balance sheets, average yields and costs, and certain other information at and for the periods indicated. No tax-equivalent yield adjustments have been made, as the effects would be immaterial. All average balances are daily average balances. Non-accrual loans are included in the computation of average balances only. The yields set forth below include the effect of deferred fees, discounts, and premiums that are amortized or accreted to interest income or interest expense. Loan balances exclude loans held for sale.

Rate/Volume Analysis

The following table presents the effects of changing rates and volumes on our net interest income for the years indicated. 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 total column represents the sum of the prior columns. For purposes of this table, changes attributable to both rate and volume, which cannot be segregated, have been allocated proportionately based on the changes due to rate and the changes due to volume.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 (unaudited)

Net Income. Net income was $391,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to net income of $476,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2018, a decrease of $85,000, or 17.9%. The decrease was due to a $197,000 increase in non-interest expense and an $80,000 decrease in non-interest income, partially offset by a $101,000 increase in net interest income after provision for loan losses and a $91,000 decrease in the provision for income taxes, during the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Interest and Dividend Income. Interest and dividend income increased $767,000, or 11.1%, to $7.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $6.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. This increase was due to a $561,000 increase in interest and fees on loans, primarily due to an increase of $16.3 million in the average balance of the loan portfolio to $327.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $311.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, and a $206,000 increase in interest and dividend income on investments, or 35.5%, to $787,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $581,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The weighted average annualized yield for the loan portfolio increased to 4.19% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from 4.05% for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The weighted average annualized yield for the investment portfolio increased to 2.75% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from 2.43% for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

Average interest-earning assets increased $25.8 million, to $383.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $357.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The annualized yield on interest earning-assets increased 14 basis points to 3.99% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from 3.85% for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

Interest Expense. Total interest expense increased $711,000, or 51.3%, to $2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Interest expense on deposit accounts increased $337,000, or 45.6%, to $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $739,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits to $223.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $209.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, an increase of $13.8 million, or 6.6%, and an increase in the weighted average annualized rate to 0.96% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from 0.71% for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

Interest expense on Federal Home Loan Bank advances increased $374,000, or 57.9%, to $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $646,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The average balance increased $4.5 million, or 6.0%, to $79.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $75.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in the average balance of Federal Home Loan Bank advances is due primarily to management utilizing advances as a funding source for loan originations. The weighted average annualized rate of borrowings increased to 2.56% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from 1.72% for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $56,000, or 1.0%, to $5.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $5.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. This increase was due to an increase in the balance of interest-earning assets during the six months ended June 30, 2019, partially offset by a decrease in the annualized net interest rate spread to 2.61% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from 2.88% for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and a decrease in the annualized net interest margin to 2.90% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from 3.08% for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The decreases in the annualized interest rate spread and the annualized net interest margin were primarily due to the increase in the average balance of our interest-bearing liabilities to $304.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $286.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and an increase in the annualized weighted average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities to 1.38% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from 0.97% for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

Provision for Loan Losses. Based on management’s analysis of the allowance for loan losses, we recorded a $25,000 provision for loan losses for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $70,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease in the provision for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was primarily due to the decrease in non-accrual loans to $312,000 at June 30, 2019 from $1.2 million at June 30, 2018.

Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income decreased $80,000, or 10.8%, to $661,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $741,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease in non-interest income during the six months ended June 30, 2019 was due primarily to a $99,000 decrease in loan servicing fee income, reflecting a decrease in the fair value of our mortgage servicing intangible asset during the six months ended June 30, 2019, partially offset by a $27,000 increase in investment services fees.

Non-Interest Expense. Non-interest expense increased $197,000, or 3.5%, to $5.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $5.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase was due primarily to a $393,000, or 12.0%, increase in salaries and employee benefits and director compensation fees offset by a $196,000 decrease, or 39.2%, in technology expenses. The increase in salaries and benefits during the six months ended June 30, 2019 was due to filling vacant positions, as well as normal salary increases. The decrease in technology expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2019 was primarily due to the receipt of proceeds from an insurance claim and lower data processing fees as a result of a new core processing contract.

Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes decreased by $91,000, or 90.1%, to $10,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $101,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The effective tax rate was 2.4% and 17.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The reduction in the effective tax rate was primarily due to the impact of an increase in non-taxable interest income, a state tax credit and a state net operating loss carryforward.

Average Balance Sheets

The following tables set forth average balance sheets, average yields and costs, and certain other information at and for the periods indicated. No tax-equivalent yield adjustments have been made, as the effects would be immaterial. All average balances are daily average balances. Non-accrual loans are included in the computation of average balances only. The yields set forth below include the effect of deferred fees, discounts, and premiums that arc amortized or accreted to interest income or interest expense. Loan balances exclude loans held for sale.

Rate/Volume Analysis

The following table presents the effects of changing rates and volumes on our net interest income for the years indicated. 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 total column represents the sum of the prior columns. For purposes of this table, changes attributable to both rate and volume, which cannot be segregated, have been allocated proportionately based on the changes due to rate and the changes due to volume.

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 securities, proceeds from the sale of loans, and proceeds from maturities of securities. We also rely on borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston as supplemental sources of funds. At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had $56.0 million and $75.7 million outstanding in advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston, respectively, and the ability to borrow an additional $88.5 million and $72.1 million, respectively. Additionally, at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had an overnight line of credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston for up to $3.0 million and unsecured Fed Funds borrowing lines of credit with two correspondent banks for up to $5.0 million. At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, there were no outstanding balances under any of these additional credit facilities.

While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities 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 cash equivalents and available-for-sale investment securities. 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 $0.4 million and $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Net cash used by investing activities, which consists primarily of disbursements for loan originations and the purchase of investment securities, offset by principal collections on loans, proceeds from the sale of loans and the sale of securities and proceeds from maturing securities and pay downs on securities, was $13.2 million and $17.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Net cash provided by financing activities, consisting of activity in deposit accounts and Federal Home Loan Bank advances, was $18.4 million and $18.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2019 includes $28.6 million of subscription funds received and held on deposit in advance of the closing of the Company’s stock offering.

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 current strategy to increase core deposits and the continued use of Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston advances as well as brokered certificates of deposit as needed, to fund loan growth.

At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we exceeded all of our regulatory capital requirements. See Note 9 of the unaudited consolidated financial statements appearing under Item 1 of this quarterly report.

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

General. The majority of our assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. Consequently, our most significant form of market risk is interest rate risk. Our assets, consisting primarily of loans, have longer maturities than our liabilities, consisting primarily of deposits. As a result, a principal part of our business strategy is to manage our exposure to changes in market interest rates. Accordingly, the board of directors established a management-level Asset/Liability Management Committee (the “ALCO”), which takes responsibility for overseeing the asset/liability management process and related procedures. The ALCO meets on at least a quarterly basis and reviews asset/liability strategies, liquidity positions, alternative funding sources, interest rate risk measurement reports, capital levels and economic trends at both national and local levels. Our interest rate risk position is also monitored quarterly by the board of directors.

We try to manage our interest rate risk to minimize the exposure of our earnings and capital to changes in market interest rates. We have implemented the following strategies to manage our interest rate risk: originating loans with adjustable interest rates; promoting core deposit products; selling a portion of fixed-rate one- to four-family residential real estate loans; maintaining investments as available-for-sale; diversifying our loan portfolio; and strengthening our capital position. By following these strategies, we believe that we are better positioned to react to changes in market interest rates.

Net Portfolio Value Simulation. We analyze our sensitivity to changes in interest rates through a net portfolio value of equity (“NPV”) model. NPV represents the present value of the expected cash flows from our assets less the present value of the expected cash flows arising from our liabilities adjusted for the value of off-balance sheet contracts. The NPV ratio represents the dollar amount of our NPV divided by the present value of our total assets for a given interest rate scenario. NPV attempts to quantify our economic value using a discounted cash flow methodology while the NPV ratio reflects that value as a form of capital ratio. We estimate what our NPV would be at a specific date. We then calculate what the NPV would be at the same date throughout a series of interest rate scenarios representing immediate and permanent, parallel shifts in the yield curve. We currently calculate NPV under the assumptions that interest rates increase 100, 200, 300 and 400 basis points from current market rates and that interest rates decrease 100 and 200 basis points from current market rates.

The following table presents the estimated changes in our net portfolio value that would result from changes in market interest rates at June 30, 2019. All estimated changes presented in the table are within the policy limits approved by the board of directors.

Certain shortcomings are inherent in the methodologies used in the above interest rate risk measurements. Modeling changes require making certain assumptions that may or may not reflect the manner in which actual yields and costs respond to changes in market interest rates. The above table assumes that the composition of our interest-sensitive assets and liabilities existing at the date indicated remains constant uniformly across the yield curve regardless of the duration or repricing of specific assets and liabilities. Accordingly, although the table provides an indication of our interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time, such measurements are not intended to and do not provide a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market interest rates on our NPV and will differ from actual results.
