PART I – FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following (a) consolidated statement of financial condition as of September 30, 2020, which has been derived from audited financial statements, and (b) unaudited consolidated financial statements, have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X, and, accordingly, do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal and recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended March 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending September 30, 2021, or for any interim period. The Malvern Bancorp, Inc. Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020, as amended on February 26, 2021 (the “2020 Annual Report”), should be read in conjunction with these financial statements.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 – The Company

Malvern Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company” or “Malvern Bancorp”), a Pennsylvania corporation, is a bank holding company registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the “Holding Company Act”).  Malvern Bancorp is the holding company for Malvern Bank, National Association (“Malvern Bank” or the “Bank”), a national bank that was originally organized in 1887 as a federally-chartered savings bank.

The Company’s primary business is the ownership and operation of the Bank.  The Bank’s principal business consists of attracting deposits from businesses and the general public and investing those deposits, together with borrowings and funds generated from operations, in commercial and multi-family real estate loans, one- to four-family residential real estate loans, construction and development loans, commercial business loans, home equity loans, lines of credit, and other consumer loans. We also invest in and maintain a portfolio of investment securities, primarily comprised of corporate debt securities, U.S. government agencies, mortgage-backed securities, and state and municipal obligations. Malvern Bank is one of the oldest banks headquartered on the Philadelphia Main Line.  For more than a century, the Bank has been committed to helping people build prosperous communities as a trusted financial partner, forging lasting relationships through teamwork, respect, and integrity. The Bank’s primary market niche is providing personalized service to its client base.  

The Bank conducts business from its headquarters in Paoli, Pennsylvania, a suburb of Philadelphia, and through its nine other banking locations in Chester and Delaware counties, Pennsylvania, Morristown, New Jersey, its New Jersey regional headquarters, and Palm Beach, Florida. The Bank also maintains representative offices in Wellington, Florida and Allentown, Pennsylvania.  

In preparing the unaudited consolidated financial statements, management has made estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the dates of the unaudited consolidated statements of condition and that affect the results of operations for the periods presented. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, other real estate owned, the evaluation of deferred tax assets, the other-than-temporary impairment evaluation of securities, and the valuation of derivative positions.  The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of financial statement presentation. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements present the Company’s financial condition at March 31, 2021 and September 30, 2020 and the results of operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, and cash flows for the six months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. In management’s opinion, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, which include normal and recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations as of the dates and for the interim periods presented. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and note disclosures included in the 2020 Annual Report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 2021 and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended March 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations or cash flows for the full year ending September 30, 2021 or any interim period. Subsequent events have been evaluated through the date of the issuance of the unaudited consolidated financial statements. No significant subsequent events have occurred through this date requiring adjustment to the financial statements or disclosures.

 

Operating, Accounting and Reporting Considerations related to COVID-19

 

The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the global economy.  In response to the crisis, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act was passed by Congress and signed into law on March 27, 2020.  The CARES Act, as expanded by the Economic Aid to Hard-Hit Small Business, Nonprofits and Venues Act, enacted December 27, 2020 and the American Rescue Plan Act, enacted March 11, 2021, provides more than $2.2 trillion to fight the COVID-19 pandemic and stimulate the economy by supporting individuals and businesses through loans, grants, tax changes, and other types of relief.  Under Section 4013 of the CARES Act, as amended, and based upon regulatory guidance promulgated by federal banking regulators, qualifying short-term loan modifications resulting in payment deferrals that are attributable to the adverse impact of COVID-19 are not considered to be troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”).  Some of the provisions applicable to the Company include, but are not limited to:

-9-


 

 

 

Accounting for Loan Modifications – The CARES Act provides that a financial institution may elect to suspend (1) the requirements under GAAP for certain loan modifications that would otherwise be categorized as a TDR and (2) any determination that such loan modifications would be considered a TDR, including the related impairment for accounting purposes.  The suspension is applicable for the term of the loan modification that occurs during the applicable period for a loan that was not more than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019. The suspension is not applicable to any adverse impact on the credit of a borrower that is not related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

Paycheck Protection Program – The CARES Act established the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), an expansion of the Small Business Administration’s 7(a) loan program and the Economic Injury Disaster Loan Program (“EIDL”), administrated directly by the Small Business Administration (“SBA”).

 

Mortgage Forbearance – Under the CARES Act, certain mortgage customers experiencing financial hardship due to COVID-19 may request forbearance on a loan for up to 30 days, with up to two additional 30-day periods at the borrower’s request.  

 

Also in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (“FRB”), the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”), the National Credit Union Administration (“NCUA”), the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”), and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“CFPB”), in consultation with the state financial regulators (collectively, the “agencies”) issued a joint interagency statement (issued March 22, 2020; revised statement issued April 7, 2020).  Some of the provisions applicable to the Company include, but are not limited to:

 

 

Accounting for Loan Modifications – Loan modifications that do not meet the conditions of the CARES Act may still qualify as a modification that does not need to be accounted for as a TDR.  The agencies confirmed with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) staff that short-term modifications made on a good faith basis in response to COVID-19 to borrowers who are current prior to any relief are not TDRs.  This includes short-term (e.g., six months) modifications such as payment deferrals, fee waivers, extensions of repayment terms, or insignificant delays in payments.  Loan modifications were made in accordance with Section 4013 of the CARES Act and the Interagency Statement on Loan Modifications and Reporting for Financial Institutions working with customers affected by COVID-19 and therefore were not classified as TDRs.

 

Past Due Reporting – With regard to loans not otherwise reportable as past due, financial institutions are not expected to designate loans with deferrals granted due to COVID-19 as past due because of the deferral.  A loan’s payment date is governed by the due date stipulated in the legal agreements.  If a financial institution agrees to a payment deferral, these loans would not be considered past due during the period of the deferral.

 

Nonaccrual Status and Charge-offs – During short-term COVID-19 modifications, these loans generally should not be reported as nonaccrual or as classified.

 

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Yet to Be Adopted

 

Reference Rate Reform. In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848). The guidance allows for companies to: (1) account for certain contract modifications as a continuation of the existing contract without additional analysis; (2) continue hedge accounting when certain critical terms of a hedging relationship change and assess effectiveness in ways that disregard certain potential sources of ineffectiveness; and (3) make a one-time sale and/or transfer of certain debt securities from held-to-maturity to available-for-sale or trading. This ASU is available for adoption effective immediately, or as of January 1, 2020 or any date thereafter for the Company, and applies prospectively to contract modifications and hedging relationships. The one-time election to sell and/or transfer debt securities classified as held-to-maturity may be made at any time after March 12, 2020. The Company anticipates adopting this ASU and will continue to analyze the provisions of the ASU in connection with ongoing procedures to monitor the work of the Alternative Rates Committee of the FRB and Federal Reserve Bank of New York in identifying an alternative U.S. dollar reference interest rate. It is too early to predict a new rate index replacement, but we anticipate that it will be the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). The adoption of this new requirement is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated earnings, financial position, or cash flows of the Company.

Income Taxes. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740). This ASU identifies, evaluates, and improves areas of GAAP for which cost and complexity can be reduced while maintaining or improving the usefulness of the information provided to users of financial statements. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this new requirement is not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated earnings, financial position, or cash flows of the Company.

 

-10-


 

 

Credit Losses. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This ASU requires an organization to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Financial institutions and other organizations will now use forward-looking information to better inform their credit loss estimates. Many of the loss estimation techniques applied currently will still be permitted, although the inputs to those techniques will change to reflect the full amount of expected credit losses. Organizations will continue to use judgment to determine which loss estimation method is appropriate for their circumstances. Additionally, this ASU amends the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration.  In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04, Codification Improvements, which provides guidance on accounting for credit losses on accrued interest receivable balances and guidance on including recoveries when estimating the allowance. In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, Targeted Transition Relief, which allows entities with an option to elect fair value for certain instruments upon adoption of Topic 326. This ASU will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted.  The Bank has a software system in place to assist with the calculation of Current Expected Credit Losses (“CECL”).  In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-10, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842) making this ASU effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022. As such, the Company would be required to implement the ASU on October 1, 2023. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-11, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, which provides guidance on stakeholders’ specific issues about certain aspects of the amendments in ASU 2016-13.  The Company formed a cross functional implementation team to review the requirements of ASU 2016-13 and contracted with a third-party provider to assist in the development and implementation of the revised credit loss methodology. The impact on the consolidated earnings, financial position, and cash flows of the Company upon adoption of this ASU are currently unknown.

Note 3 – Risks and Uncertainties

 

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus, a pandemic as a result of the global spread of the coronavirus illness. In response to the outbreak, federal and state authorities in the U.S. introduced various measures to try to limit or slow the spread of the virus, including travel restrictions, nonessential business closures, stay-at-home orders, and strict social distancing. The Company activated its “Pandemic Plan” to protect the health of employees and clients, which includes temporarily limiting lobby hours and transitioning some of the Company’s workforce to remote work.

 

While significant progress is being made in the U.S. in connection with vaccine distribution efforts, and the macro-economic forecasts are generally more positive, uncertainty continues to exist regarding the speed of the economic recovery, and the full impact of COVID-19 is unknown and rapidly evolving. It has caused substantial disruption in international and U.S. economies, markets, and employment. The outbreak may have a significant adverse impact on certain industries the Company serves. Because of the significant uncertainties related to the ultimate duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and its potential effects on clients and prospects, and on the national and local economy as a whole, there can be no assurances as to how the crisis may ultimately affect the Company’s loan portfolio.

 

To work with clients impacted by COVID-19, the Company began providing financial hardship relief in the form of payment deferrals and forbearances to consumers and business customers across several lending products, as well as suspension of home foreclosures.  The initial payment deferrals and forbearances were expected to cover a period of three months. The Company subsequently approved a second forbearance period for a maximum of 90 additional days.  These offers are not classified as TDRs, will not be reported as past due during the deferral period, and do not result in loans being placed on nonaccrual status.

 

         As disclosed above, on March 27, 2020, the CARES Act was signed into law. The CARES Act, as expanded by the Economic Aid to Hard-Hit Small Business, Nonprofits and Venues Act, enacted December 27, 2020 and the American Rescue Plan Act, enacted March 11, 2021, provides a $2.2 trillion stimulus package to provide relief to U.S. businesses and consumers struggling as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. A provision in the CARES Act initially included a $349.0 billion fund for the creation of the PPP through the SBA and Treasury Department, which amount has since been increased to over $659.0 billion. The PPP is intended to provide loans to small businesses to pay their employees, rent, mortgage interest, and utilities. The loans may be forgiven, conditioned upon the client providing payroll documentation evidencing their compliant use of funds and otherwise complying with the terms of the program. The Company participated in the initial PPP when the program was officially launched by the SBA and Treasury Department under the CARES Act. Recognizing the significance of operational risk that this portfolio of loans poses, and the continued complexity and uncertainty surrounding evolving regulatory pronouncements regarding various aspects of the PPP, management reviewed several options for continued servicing of the PPP loan portfolio through forgiveness and beyond. After thoughtful consideration, the Company concluded that it was in the best interests of both the Bank and our PPP borrowers that the loans be serviced by an organization that has the servicing infrastructure in place to support the significant volume and short timeframe involved in the complex and evolving PPP forgiveness process. In that regard, in mid-December 2020, the Bank sold substantially all of its PPP loans to a seasoned and experienced non-bank lender and servicer of SBA loans. In connection with the sale, the Company recognized a $202,000 net gain on the sale of approximately $19.7 million of PPP loans, which was recorded as non-interest income for the period ended December 31, 2020. We are currently working with the same third party in order for our customers to be able to participate in the updated PPP loan program adopted as part of the COVID-19 stimulus bill enacted in December 2020 as part of the 2021 Consolidated Appropriations Act.

Note 4 – Non-Interest Income

A significant amount of the Company’s revenue is derived from net interest income on financial assets and liabilities, which are excluded from the scope of the amended guidance. Some sources of revenue included within non-interest income fall within the scope of Topic 606, while other sources do not. The Company recognizes revenue when the performance obligations related to the transfer of goods or services under the terms of the contract are satisfied. Some obligations are satisfied at a point in time while others are satisfied over a period of time. Revenue is recognized as the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. When consideration includes a variable component, the amount of consideration attributable to variability is included in the transaction price only to the extent it is probable that significant revenue recognized will not be reversed when uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. The Company’s contracts generally do not contain terms that require significant judgement to determine the variability impacting the transaction price. The Company has included the following table regarding the Company’s non-interest income for the periods presented:

Note 5 – Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per common share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding reduced by unearned Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) shares. Diluted earnings per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding and common stock equivalents (“CSEs”) that would arise from the exercise of dilutive securities, reduced by unearned ESOP shares.  During the three and six months ended March 31, 2021, there were no restricted shares issued. There were no stock options granted during the three and six months ended March 31, 2021.  During the three and six months ended March 31, 2020, the Company granted 16,357 and 18,121 restricted shares, respectively, which are considered CSEs. During the three and six months ended March 31, 2020, options to acquire a total of 7,000 shares of common stock were granted. 

The following table sets forth the composition of the weighted average shares (denominator) used in the earnings per share computations:

Note 6 – Employee Stock Ownership Plan

The Company maintains an ESOP for substantially all of its full-time employees. The current ESOP trustee is Pentegra. Shares of the Company’s common stock purchased by the ESOP are held until released for allocation to participants. Shares released are allocated to each eligible participant based on the ratio of each such participant’s base compensation to the total base compensation of all eligible plan participants. As the unearned shares are committed to be released and allocated among participants, the Company recognizes compensation expense equal to the fair value of the ESOP shares during the periods in which they become committed to be released. To the extent that the fair value of the ESOP shares released differs from the cost of such shares, the difference is charged or credited to additional paid-in capital. During the period from May 20, 2008 to September 30, 2008, the ESOP purchased 241,178 shares of Company common stock for approximately $2.6 million, at an average price of $10.86 per share, which was funded by a loan from Malvern Federal Bancorp, Inc. (the Company’s predecessor). The ESOP loan, which bears an interest rate of 5%, is being repaid in quarterly installments through 2026 principally from the Bank’s contributions to the ESOP.  Shares are released to participants proportionately as the ESOP loan is repaid. During each of the three and six months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, there were 3,600 shares and 7,200 shares, respectively, committed to be released. At March 31, 2021, there were 78,765 unallocated shares and 180,453 allocated shares held by the ESOP. The unallocated shares had an aggregate fair value of approximately $1.5 million at March 31, 2021.

Note 7 - Investment Securities

The Company’s investment securities are classified as available-for-sale or held-to-maturity at March 31, 2021 and at September 30, 2020. Investment securities available-for-sale are reported at fair value with unrealized gains or losses included in equity, net of tax. Accordingly, the carrying value of such securities reflects their fair value at the balance sheet date. Fair value is based upon either quoted market prices, or in certain cases where there is limited activity in the market for a particular instrument, assumptions are made to determine their fair value. Held-to-maturity securities, which are carried at amortized cost, are investments where there is positive intent and ability to hold to maturity.

Transfers of debt securities from the available-for-sale category to the held-to-maturity category are made at fair value at the date of transfer. The unrealized holding gain or loss at the date of transfer remains in accumulated other comprehensive loss and in the carrying value of the held-to-maturity investment security. Premiums or discounts on investment securities are amortized or accreted using the effective interest method over the life of the security as an adjustment of yield. Unrealized holding gains or losses that

-14-


 

remain in accumulated other comprehensive loss are amortized or accreted over the remaining life of the security as an adjustment of yield, offsetting the related amortization of the premium or accretion of the discount.

As of March 31, 2021, the estimated fair value of the securities disclosed above was primarily dependent upon the movement in market interest rates, particularly given the inherent credit risk associated with these securities. These investment securities are comprised of securities that are rated investment grade by at least one bond credit rating service. Although the fair value will fluctuate as market interest rates move, management believes that these fair values will recover as the underlying portfolios mature and are reinvested in market rate yielding investments. As of March 31, 2021, the Company held six corporate debt securities, three U.S. government agencies, and one single issuer trust preferred security which were in an unrealized loss position. The Company does not intend to sell, and expects that it is unlikely that it will be required to sell, these securities until such time as the value recovers or the securities mature. Management does not believe any individual unrealized loss as of March 31, 2021 represents an other-than-temporary impairment.

Investment securities having a carrying value of approximately $3.8 million and $4.6 million at March 31, 2021 and September 30, 2020, respectively, were pledged to secure deposits. No investment securities were pledged to secure hedges at March 31, 2021 or September 30, 2020. No investment securities were pledged to secure short-term borrowings at March 31, 2021 and September 30, 2020.

In assessing the adequacy of the ALLL, it is recognized that the process, methodology and underlying assumptions require a significant degree of judgment. The estimation of loan losses is not precise; the range of factors considered is wide and is significantly dependent upon management’s judgment, including the outlook and potential changes in the economic environment. Any unallocated portion of the ALLL in conjunction with the quarterly review and changes to the qualitative factors to adjust for the risk due to current economic conditions reflects management’s estimate of probable inherent but undetected losses within the portfolio due to uncertainties in economic conditions, regulatory requirements, delays in obtaining information, including unfavorable information about a borrower’s financial condition, the difficulty in identifying triggering events that correlate perfectly to subsequent loss rates, and risk factors that have not yet manifested themselves in loss allocation factors.

The decrease in impaired loans with no specific allowance from $29.4 million at September 30, 2020  to $25.9 million at March 31, 2021, is primarily due to the removal of one commercial real estate loan of approximately $6.5 million, offset by the additions of one commercial farmland loan of approximately $2.3 million and one commercial real estate loan of approximately $539,000. The following table presents impaired loans in the portfolio by class, segregated by those for which a specific allowance was required and those for which a specific allowance was not necessary, as of March 31, 2021 and September 30, 2020:

Under the Bank’s loan policy, once a loan has been placed on non-accrual status, we do not resume interest accruals until the loan has been brought current and has maintained a current payment status for not less than six consecutive months. Interest income that would have been recognized on non-accrual loans had they been current in accordance with their original terms was approximately $407,000 and $545,000 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2021, respectively, and approximately $3,000 and $4,000 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2020, respectively.  At March 31, 2021 and September 30, 2020, there were approximately $765,000 and $58,000, respectively, of loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest.    

Management monitors the performance and credit quality of the loan portfolio by analyzing the age of the portfolio and categorizing each loan as “current”, meaning payment is received from a borrower by the scheduled due date, or by the length of time a scheduled payment is past due. The following table presents the classes of the loan portfolio categorized by the following aging categories as of March 31, 2021 and September 30, 2020:

Restructured loans deemed to be TDRs are typically the result of an extension of the loan maturity date or a reduction of the interest rate of the loan to a rate that is below market, a combination of rate and maturity extension, or by other means, including covenant modifications, forbearance and other concessions. However, the Bank generally restructures loans by modifying the payment structure to require payments of interest only for a specified period or by reducing the actual interest rate. Once a loan becomes a TDR, it will continue to be reported as a TDR during the term of the restructuring.

The Company had 28 and 26 loans classified as TDRs at March 31, 2021 and September 30, 2020, respectively, with an aggregate outstanding balance of $24.2 million and $21.7 million, respectively. At March 31, 2021, these loans were also classified as impaired. 21 of the TDR loans continue to perform under the restructured terms through March 31, 2021 and the Company continued to accrue interest on such loans through such date.   

 

Loans that have been classified as TDRs have modified payment terms and in some cases modified interest rates from the original agreements, which allow the borrowers, who were experiencing financial difficulty, to make interest only payments for a period of time in order to relieve some of their overall cash flow burden. Some loan modifications classified as TDRs may not ultimately result in the full collection of principal and interest, as modified, and could result in potential incremental losses. These potential incremental losses have been factored into our overall estimate of the ALLL. The level of any defaults will likely be affected by future economic conditions. A default on a TDR loan for purposes of this disclosure occurs when the borrower is 90 days past due or a foreclosure or repossession of the applicable collateral has occurred.

TDRs may arise in cases where, due to financial difficulties experienced by the borrower, the Company obtains through physical possession one or more collateral assets in satisfaction of all or part of an existing credit. Once possession is obtained, the Company reclassifies the appropriate portion of the remaining balance of the credit from loans to other real estate owned (“OREO”), which is included within other assets in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. For any residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan, the Company is considered to possess the related collateral only if legal title is obtained upon completion of foreclosure, or the borrower conveys all interest in the residential real estate property to the Company through completion of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or similar legal agreement. Excluding OREO, the Company had $431,000 and $175,000 of residential real estate properties in the process of foreclosure at March 31, 2021 and September 30, 2020, respectively. However, the Company has temporarily suspended collection and foreclosure efforts on past due loans in accordance with CARES Act and related regulatory guidance.

Under Section 4013 of the CARES Act, and separately based upon regulatory guidance promulgated by federal banking regulators (collectively, “Interagency Statement”), qualifying short-term loan modifications resulting in payment deferrals that are attributable to the adverse impact of COVID-19 are not considered to be TDRs. As such, the applicable loans are reported as current with regard to payment status and continue to accrue interest during the payment deferral period. At March 31, 2021, the Company had 12 COVID-19 modified loan deferrals totaling approximately $62.4 million. Of the $62.4 million of COVID-19 modified loans at March 31, 2021, $14.2 million were rated Pass and $48.2 million were rated Special Mention. At September 30, 2020, the Company had 43 COVID-19 modified loan deferrals totaling approximately $144.8 million.

Note 9 - Regulatory Matters

 

Regulatory Capital Requirements

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

In July 2013, the respective U.S. federal banking agencies issued final rules implementing Basel III and the Dodd-Frank Act capital requirements to be fully phased in on a global basis on January 1, 2019. The regulations establish a new tangible common equity capital requirement, increase the minimum requirement for the current Tier 1 risk-weighted asset (“RWA”) ratio, phase out certain kinds of intangibles treated as capital and certain types of instruments and change the risk weightings of certain assets used to determine required capital ratios. The new common equity Tier 1 capital component requires capital of the highest quality predominantly composed of retained earnings and common stock instruments. For community banks, such as the Bank, a common equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 4.5% became effective on January 1, 2015. The new capital rules also increased the minimum Tier 1 capital ratio from 4.0% to 6.0% beginning on January 1, 2015. The rules also establish a capital conservation buffer of 2.5% above the new regulatory minimum capital requirements, which must consist entirely of common equity Tier 1 capital and would result in the following minimum ratios: (1) a common equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 7.0%, (2) a Tier 1 capital ratio of 8.5%, and (3) a total capital ratio of 10.5%. The new capital conservation buffer requirement began to be phased in on January 1, 2016 at 0.625% of risk-weighted assets and increased by that amount each year until it became fully implemented at 2.5% on January 1, 2019. An institution is also subject to limitations on paying dividends, engaging in share repurchases, and paying discretionary bonuses if its capital level falls below the buffer amount. These limitations establish a maximum percentage of eligible retained income that could be utilized for such actions.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of tangible and core capital (as defined in the regulations) to total adjusted tangible assets (as defined in the regulations) and of risk-based capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined in the regulations).  

As of March 31, 2021 and as of September 30, 2020, the Company’s and the Bank’s current capital levels exceeded the required capital amounts to be considered “well capitalized” and they also met the fully-phased in minimum capital requirements, including the related capital conservation buffers, as required by the Basel III capital rules.

Note 10 – Derivatives and Hedging Activities

The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions.  The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk, primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of its debt funding and the use of derivative financial instruments.  Specifically, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the payment of future uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates.

The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy.  Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings.  At March 31, 2021, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh, which is one of 12 regional Federal Home Loan Banks (“FHLB”).  

Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable-rate debt. During the next twelve months, the Company estimates approximately $564,000 to be reclassified to earnings as an increase to interest expense. The Company is hedging its exposure to the variability in future cash flows for forecasted transactions over a maximum period of twenty months (excluding forecasted transactions related to the payment of variable interest on existing financial instruments).

The Company executes interest rate swaps with commercial banking customers to facilitate their respective risk management strategies. Those interest rate swaps are simultaneously hedged by offsetting interest rate swaps that the Company executes with a third party, such that the Company minimizes its net risk exposure resulting from such transactions.  These derivatives are not designated as hedges and are not speculative.  Rather, these derivatives result from a service the Company provides to certain customers. As the interest rate swaps associated with this program do not meet the hedge accounting requirements, changes in the fair value of both the customer swaps and the offsetting swaps are recognized directly in earnings.

The Company has agreements with each of its derivative counterparties that contain a provision providing that if the Company defaults on any of its indebtedness, including defaults where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender, then the Company could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations.

 

At March 31, 2021 and September 30, 2020, the fair value of derivatives was in a net liability position, which includes accrued interest but excludes any adjustment for nonperformance risk, related to these agreements. There were no adjustments for nonperformance risk at March 31, 2021 and September 30, 2020. At March 31, 2021 and September 30, 2020, the Company has minimum collateral posting thresholds with certain of its derivative counterparties and has posted collateral of $7.9 million and $12.9 million, respectively, against its obligations under these agreements.  If the Company had breached any of these provisions at March 31, 2021, it could have been required to settle its obligations under the agreements at the termination value and would have been required to pay any additional amounts due in excess of amounts previously posted as collateral with the respective counterparty.

Note 11 - Fair Value Measurements

The Company follows FASB ASC Topic 820 Fair Value Measurement to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and to determine fair value disclosures for the Company’s financial instruments. Investment and mortgage-backed securities available for sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, from time to time, the Company may be required to record at fair value other assets on a nonrecurring basis, such as impaired loans, real estate owned and certain other assets. These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve application of lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets.

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

Level 1— valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.

Level 2—valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.

Level 3—valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use significant assumptions not observable in the market.  These unobservable assumptions reflect the Company’s own estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset.

The Company bases its fair values on 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. It is our policy to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when developing fair value measurements, in accordance with the fair value hierarchy.

Fair value measurements for assets where there exists limited or no observable market data and, therefore, are based primarily upon the Company’s or other third-party’s estimates, are often calculated based on the characteristics of the asset, the economic and competitive environment, and other factors. Therefore, the results cannot be determined with precision and may not be realized in an actual sale or immediate settlement of the asset. Additionally, there may be inherent weaknesses in any calculation technique, and changes in the underlying assumptions used, including discount rates and estimates of future cash flows, could significantly affect the results of current or future valuations.

The Company monitors and evaluates available data to perform fair value measurements on an ongoing basis and recognizes transfers among the levels of the fair value hierarchy as of the date event or a change in circumstances that affects the valuation method chosen. There were no changes in valuation technique or transfers between levels at March 31, 2021 or September 30, 2020.

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

-37-


 

things.  From time to time, the Company validates prices supplied by the independent pricing service by comparison to prices obtained from third-party sources or derived using internal models.

 

For assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis that were still held at the end of the period, the following tables provide the level of valuation assumptions used to determine each adjustment and the carrying value of the related individual assets or portfolios at March 31, 2021 and September 30, 2020:

(1)

Consisted of seven loans with an aggregate balance of $8.2 million and with $308,000 in specific loan loss allowance.

(2)

Fair value is generally determined through independent appraisals of the underlying collateral primarily using comparable sales.

(3)

Appraisals may be adjusted by management for qualitative factors such as time, changes in economic conditions and estimated liquidation expense.

At March 31, 2021 and September 30, 2020, the Company did not have any additions to our mortgage servicing assets.  At March 31, 2021 and September 30, 2020, the Company only sold loans with servicing released.  

The following disclosure of the estimated fair value of financial instruments is made in accordance with the requirements of FASB ASC 825.  The estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate valuation methods. However, considerable judgment is necessarily required to interpret market data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company would

-38-


 

realize in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. FASB ASC 825 excludes certain financial instruments and all non-financial instruments from its disclosure requirements.  Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented may not necessarily represent the underlying fair value of the Company.

The fair value estimates presented herein are based on pertinent information available to management as of March 31, 2021 and September 30, 2020. Although management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the estimated fair value amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these financial statements since March 31, 2021 and, therefore, current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.

The following assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments:

Cash and Cash Equivalents—These assets are carried at historical cost. The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the relatively short time between the origination of the instrument and its expected realization.

Investment Securities—Investment and mortgage-backed securities available for sale (carried at fair value), and equity securities (carried at fair value) are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurements for these securities are typically obtained from independent pricing services that we have engaged for this purpose. When available, we, or our independent pricing service, use quoted market prices to measure fair value. If market prices are not available, fair value measurement is based upon models that incorporate available trade, bid and other market information and for structured securities, cash flow and, when available, loan performance data. Because many fixed income securities do not trade on a daily basis, our independent pricing service’s applications apply available information through processes such as benchmark curves, benchmarking of like securities, sector groupings and matrix pricing to prepare evaluations. For each asset class, pricing applications and models are based on information from market sources and integrate relevant credit information. All of our securities available for sale are valued using either of the foregoing methodologies to determine fair value adjustments recorded to our financial statements.    

Loans Receivable—We do not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis. As such, valuation techniques discussed herein for loans are primarily for estimating fair value for FASB ASC 825 disclosure purposes. However, from time to time, we record nonrecurring fair value adjustments to loans to reflect partial write-downs for impairment or the full charge-off of the loan carrying value. The valuation of impaired loans is discussed below. The fair value estimate for FASB ASC 825 purposes differentiates loans based on their financial characteristics, such as product classification, loan category, pricing features and remaining maturity. Prepayment and credit loss estimates are evaluated by loan type and rate. The fair value of loans is estimated by discounting contractual cash flows using discount rates based on current industry pricing, adjusted for prepayment and credit loss estimates.

Impaired Loans—Impaired loans are valued utilizing independent appraisals that rely upon quoted market prices for similar assets in active markets. These appraisals include adjustments to comparable assets based on the appraisers’ market knowledge and experience. The appraisals are adjusted downward by management, as necessary, for changes in relevant valuation factors subsequent to the appraisal date and are considered Level 3 inputs.

Accrued Interest Receivable—This asset is carried at historical cost. The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the relatively short time between the origination of the instrument and its expected realization.

Restricted Stock—Although restricted stock is an equity interest in the FHLB, it is carried at cost because it does not have a readily determinable fair value as its ownership is restricted and it lacks a market. The estimated fair value approximates the carrying amount.

Other Real Estate Owned—Assets acquired through foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure are recorded at estimated fair value less estimated selling costs when acquired, thus establishing a new cost basis. Fair value is generally based on independent appraisals. These appraisals include adjustments to comparable assets based on the appraisers’ market knowledge and experience, and are considered Level 3 inputs. When an asset is acquired, the excess of the loan balance over fair value, less estimated selling costs, is charged to the ALLL. If the estimated fair value of the asset declines, a write-down is recorded through expense. The valuation of foreclosed assets is subjective in nature and may be adjusted in the future because of, among other factors, changes in the economic conditions.

Deposits—Deposit liabilities are carried at cost. As such, valuation techniques discussed herein for deposits are primarily for estimating fair value for FASB ASC 825 disclosure purposes. The fair value of deposits is discounted based on rates available for borrowings of similar maturities. A decay rate is estimated for non-time deposits. The discount rate for non-time deposits is adjusted for servicing costs based on industry estimates.

Borrowings—Advances from the FHLB are carried at amortized cost. However, we are required to estimate the fair value of long-term debt under FASB ASC 825. The fair value is based on the contractual cash flows discounted using rates currently offered for new notes with similar remaining maturities.

-39-


 

Subordinated Debt—The calculation of fair value in Level 2 is based on observable market values where available.

Derivatives—The fair value of derivatives are based on valuation models using observable market data as of the measurement date (Level 2). Our derivatives are traded in an over-the-counter market where quoted market prices are not always available. Therefore, the fair values of derivatives are determined using quantitative models that utilize multiple market inputs. The inputs will vary based on the type of derivative, but could include interest rates, prices, and indices to generate continuous yield or pricing curves, prepayment rate, and volatility factors to value the position. The majority of market inputs is actively quoted and can be validated through external sources, including brokers, market transactions and third-party pricing services.

Accrued Interest Payable—This liability is carried at historical cost. The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the relatively short time between the origination of the instrument and its expected realization.

Commitments to Extend Credit and Letters of Credit— The majority of the Company’s commitments to extend credit and letters of credit carry current market interest rates if converted to loans and are not included in the table below. Because commitments to extend credit and letters of credit are generally unassignable by either the Bank or the borrower, they only have value to the Company and the borrower. The estimated fair value approximates the recorded deferred fee amounts, which are not significant.

Mortgage Servicing Rights—The fair value of mortgage servicing rights is based on observable market prices when available or the present value of expected future cash flows when not available. Assumptions, such as loan default rates, costs to service, and prepayment speeds significantly affect the estimate of future cash flows. Mortgage servicing rights are carried at the lower of cost or fair value.

Note 13 – Equity Based Incentive Compensation Plan

The Company maintains the Malvern Bancorp, Inc. 2014 Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2014 Plan”), which permits the grant of long-term incentive and other stock and cash awards. The purpose of the 2014 Plan is to promote the success of the Company and the Bank by providing incentives to officers, employees and directors of the Company and the Bank that will link their personal interests to the financial success of the Company and to growth in shareholder value.  The maximum total number of shares of the Company’s common stock available for grants under the 2014 Plan is 400,000.  As of March 31, 2021, there were 318,651 remaining shares available for future grants.

Restricted stock and option awards granted vest annually in 20% increments beginning on the one year anniversary of the grant date, and accelerate upon a change in control of the Company.  The options generally expire ten years from the date of grant.  All issuances are subject to forfeiture if the recipient leaves the Company or is terminated prior to the award’s vesting.  Shares of restricted stock have the same dividend and voting rights as common stock, while stock options do not have such rights.

All awards are issued at fair value of the underlying shares at the grant date. The Company expenses the cost of the awards, which is determined to be the fair market value of the awards at the date of grant.

 The Company did not grant any stock options during the three and six months ended March 31, 2021. Total compensation expense related to stock options granted under the 2014 Plan was approximately $8,000 and $16,000 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2021, respectively. During the three and six months ended March 31, 2020, stock options to acquire a total of 7,000 shares of common stock were granted. Total compensation expense related to stock options granted under the 2014 Plan was approximately $6,000 and $12,000 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2020, respectively.    

-42-


 

The Company did not award restricted shares during the three and six months ended March 31, 2021. The compensation expense related to restricted stock awards was approximately $42,000 and $86,000 during the three and six months ended March 31, 2021, respectively.  During the three and six months ended March 31, 2020, a total of 16,357 and 18,121 restricted shares were awarded, respectively. During the three and six months ended March 31, 2020, 1,610 shares were forfeited. The compensation expense related to restricted stock awards was approximately $40,000 and $66,000 during the three and six months ended March 31, 2020, respectively.        

Stock-based compensation expense for the cost of the awards granted is based on the grant-date fair value. For stock option awards, the fair value is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. This model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, changes to which can materially affect the fair value estimate. Additionally, there may be other factors that would otherwise have a significant effect on the value of employee stock options granted but are not considered by the model. Accordingly, while management believes that the Black-Scholes option-pricing model provides a reasonable estimate of fair value, the model does not necessarily provide the best single measure of fair value for the Company’s employee stock options.

Stock Options

 

There were no stock options granted for the six months ended March 31, 2021. The assumptions used in determining the fair value of stock option grants for the six months ended March 31, 2020 are as follows:

Note 15 – Leases

          The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. The Company adopted the guidance of ASC 842 Leases and recorded ROU assets and related lease liabilities of $3.3 million at October 1, 2019. Operating leases are included in operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities on our consolidated statements of financial condition. ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As our leases do not provide an implicit rate, in order to determine the present value of future payments for office leases we used our incremental borrowing rate based on the FHLB liquidity and funding rates. Our lease terms may include options to extend when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

           The Company currently leases one financial center in Glen Mills, Pennsylvania; one private banking office located in Villanova, Pennsylvania; one private banking office located in Morristown, New Jersey; one private banking office located in Palm Beach, Florida; one representative office located in Wellington, Florida; and one representative office located in Allentown, Pennsylvania. The Company has elected not to recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities for two private banking office leases and two representative office leases whose terms are twelve months or less and are considered short-term leases. All of the financial center leases and two private banking office leases include options to extend for terms of five years. These options have not been recognized as part of our ROU assets and lease liabilities as the Company is not reasonably certain to exercise these options. The Company has also entered into three leases for office equipment for which ROU assets and lease liabilities have been recognized. All the aforementioned leases have been accounted for as operating leases.

The components of lease expense were as follows:

Item 2 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The purpose of this analysis is to provide the reader with information relevant to understanding and assessing the Company’s results of operations for the periods presented herein and financial condition as of March 31, 2021 and September 30, 2020. In order to fully understand this analysis, the reader is encouraged to review the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.

Forward-Looking Statements

This report contains certain forward-looking statements with respect to the financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance and business of the Company and its subsidiaries, including statements preceded by, followed by or that include words or phrases such as “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “trend,” “objective,” “continue,” “remain,” “pattern” or similar expressions or future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “would,” “should,” “could,” “might,” “can,” “may” or similar expressions. The statements contained herein that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements based on management’s current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on the Company, including, without limitation, plans, strategies and goals, and statements about the Company’s expectations regarding revenue and asset growth, financial performance and profitability, loan and deposit growth, yields and returns, loan diversification and credit management, and shareholder value creation.

 

Such statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and are generally beyond the control of the Company.  There can be no assurance that future developments affecting the Company will be the same as those anticipated by management.  The Company cautions readers that a number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied or projected by, such forward-looking statements.  These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following: the effects of, and changes in, trade, monetary and fiscal policies and laws, including changes in interest rate policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; inflation, interest rate, market and monetary fluctuations; the impact of competition and the acceptance of the Company’s products and services by new and existing customers; the impact of changes in financial services policies, laws and regulations; technological changes; any oversupply of inventory and deterioration in values of real estate in the markets in which the Company operates, both residential and commercial; the effect of changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted from time-to-time by bank regulatory agencies, the SEC, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the FASB or other accounting standards setters; possible other-than-temporary impairment of securities held by us; the effects of the Company’s lack of a widely-diversified loan portfolio, including the risks of geographic and industry concentrations; ability to attract deposits and other sources of liquidity; changes in the competitive environment among financial and bank holding companies and other financial service providers; unanticipated regulatory or judicial proceedings; and the Company’s ability to manage the risk involved in the foregoing.  Additional factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements are discussed in the Company’s 2020 Annual Report filed with the SEC and available at the SEC’s Internet site (http://www.sec.gov).

 

Further, given its ongoing and dynamic nature, it is difficult to predict the full and continuing impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on our business. The extent of such impact will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, including when the coronavirus can be controlled and abated and when and how the economy may be fully reopened, and for how long it will remain as such. As the result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the related adverse local and national economic consequences, we are subject to the following risks, any of which could continue to have a material, adverse effect on our business, financial condition, liquidity, and results of operations: the demand for our products and services may decline, making it difficult to grow assets and income; if the economy is unable to continue to substantially reopen, and there are high levels of unemployment for an extended period of time, loan delinquencies, problem assets, and foreclosures may increase, resulting in increased charges and reduced income; collateral for loans, especially real estate, may decline in value, which could cause loan losses to increase; our allowance for loan losses may increase if borrowers experience financial difficulties, which will adversely affect our net income; the net worth and liquidity of loan guarantors may decline, impairing their ability to honor commitments to us; as the result of the decline in the Federal Reserve Board’s target federal funds rate to near 0%, the yield on our assets may decline to a greater extent than the decline in our cost of interest-bearing liabilities, reducing our net interest margin and spread and reducing net income; our cyber security risks are increased as the result of an increase in the number of employees working remotely; and FDIC premiums may increase if the agency experience additional resolution costs.

 

The Company undertakes no obligation to revise or publicly release any revision or update to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that occur after the date on which such statements were made, unless required by law.   

 

Critical Accounting Policies

The accounting and reporting policies followed by the Company conform, in all material respects, to GAAP. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management has made estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of

-47-


 

assets and liabilities as of the dates of the consolidated statements of condition and for the periods indicated in the statements of operations. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

The Company’s accounting policies are fundamental to understanding Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) of financial condition and results of operations. The Company has identified the determination of the ALLL, OREO, fair value measurements, the evaluation of deferred tax assets, the other-than-temporary impairment evaluation of securities, and the valuation of our derivative positions to be critical because management must make subjective and/or complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain and could be most subject to revision as new information becomes available. Additional information on these policies can be found in the Company’s 2020 Annual Report.

There have been no significant changes to the Company’s Critical Accounting Policies as described in its 2020 Annual Report. 

 

Impact of COVID-19

 

The Company continues to take the following significant steps to protect the health and well-being of its employees and clients and to assist clients who have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

 

Continuing limited lobby hours; prioritizing drive-thru and appointment banking.  

 

High-risk designated hours offered to assist our high-risk clients.

 

Continuing to assist existing and new customers in the PPP.

 

Continuing to provide payment deferrals and forbearances to business customers and mortgage customers that are experiencing hardship because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

Paycheck Protection Program

 

The Company participated in the initial PPP when the program was officially launched by the SBA and Treasury Department under the CARES Act. Recognizing the significance of operational risk that this portfolio of loans poses, and the continued complexity and uncertainty surrounding evolving regulatory pronouncements regarding various aspects of the PPP, management reviewed several options for continued servicing of the PPP loan portfolio through forgiveness and beyond. After thoughtful consideration, the Company concluded that it was in the best interests of both the Bank and our PPP borrowers that the loans be serviced by an organization that has the servicing infrastructure in place to support the significant volume and short timeframe involved in the complex and evolving PPP forgiveness process. In that regard, in mid-December 2020, the Bank sold substantially all of its PPP loans to a seasoned and experienced non-bank lender and servicer of SBA loans. In connection with the sale, the Company recognized a $202,000 net gain on the sale of approximately $19.7 million of PPP loans, which was recorded as non-interest income for the period ended December 31, 2020. We are currently working with the same third party in order for our customers to be able to participate in the updated PPP loan program adopted as part of the COVID-19 stimulus bill enacted in December 2020 as part of the 2021 Consolidated Appropriations Act.

 

Liquidity Sources

 

Management has reviewed all primary and secondary sources of liquidity in preparation for any unforeseen funding needs due to the COVID-19 pandemic and prioritized such sources based on available capacity, term flexibility, and cost. As of March 31, 2021, the Company had adequate sources of liquidity.

 

Capital Strength

The Company’s capital ratios continued to exceed the highest required regulatory benchmark levels. As of March 31, 2021, common equity Tier 1 capital ratio was 14.69 percent, Tier 1 leverage ratio was 11.96 percent, Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 14.69 percent and the total risk-based capital ratio was 18.43 percent.  

 

Deferral Requests

 

As of March 31, 2021, the Company had 12 COVID-19 loan modified loans totaling $62.4 million, representing 6.33 percent of loans outstanding. The COVID-19 loan modifications do not classify as TDRs as they fall under Section 4013 of the CARES Act, as amended, and further details regarding these modifications are provided in the table below. At May 7, 2021, the Company had eight COVID-19-related modified loans totaling $60.8 million or 6.26 percent of total loans. Of the $60.8 million COVID-19 modified loans, $12.6 million were rated Pass and $48.2 million were rated Special Mention. For loans subject to the program, each borrower is required to resume making regularly scheduled loan payments at the end of the modification period and the deferred amounts will be moved to the end of the loan term.

-48-


 

Of the $62.4 million of COVID-19 modified loans at March 31, 2021, $14.2 million were rated Pass and $48.2 million were rated Special Mention. These loans are currently performing under their modified terms. These modifications are not currently reported as TDRs as they fall under Section 4013 of the CARES Act, as amended. On December 27, 2020, the President of the United States signed into law the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2020 (“the CAA Act”), which both funds the federal government until September 30, 2021 and broadly addresses additional COVID-19 responses and relief. Among the additional relief measures included are certain extensions to elements of the CARES Act, including extensions of temporary relief from TDRs established under Section 4013 of the CARES Act to the earlier of a) January 1, 2022, or b) the date that is 60 days after the date on which the national COVID-19 emergency terminates. Management will continue to monitor the performance of these loans, and evaluate the impact on the Company’s risk rating process and the allowance for loan loss.

Results of Operations

Net income available to common shareholders for the three months ended March 31, 2021 amounted to $2.2 million, or $0.30 per fully diluted common share, an increase of $316,000, or 16.6 percent, as compared with net income of $1.9 million, or $0.25 per common share, for the three months ended March 31, 2020. This increase in net income and diluted earnings per share was primarily due to a decrease in provision for loan losses of $625,000, and an increase in total other income of $203,000, offset by increases in total other expenses of $425,000.  The increase in total other income was primarily due to the increases net gains on sale of loans of $274,000 and net gains on sale and call of investments of $79,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increase in total other expenses was primarily due to increases in professional fees of $382,000 and Federal deposit insurance premium of $80,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020. The annualized return on average assets was 0.73 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to annualized return on average assets of 0.61 percent for three months ended March 31, 2020. The annualized return on average shareholders’ equity was 6.14 percent for the three month period ended March 31, 2021, compared to 5.29 percent in annualized return on average shareholders’ equity for the three months ended March 31, 2020.    

Net income available to common shareholders for the six months ended March 31, 2021 amounted to $4.5 million, or $0.60 per fully diluted common share, an increase of $2.4 million, or 88.2 percent, as compared with net income of $2.7 million, or $0.35 per common share, for the six months ended March 31, 2020. This increase in net income and diluted earnings per share was primarily due to a decrease in provision for loan losses of $2.2 million, an increase in total other income of $984,000, and an increase in net interest income of $425,000, offset by increases in total other expenses of $975,000 and income tax expense of $855,000.  The increase in total other income was primarily due to the increases net gains on sale of loans of $675,000 and net gains on sale and call of investments of $434,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the six months ended March 31, 2020. The increase in total other expenses was primarily due to increases in professional fees of $604,000 and Federal deposit insurance premium of $159, 000, and salaries and employee benefits of $151,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the six months ended March 31, 2020. The annualized return on average assets was 0.73 percent for the six months ended March 31, 2021, compared to annualized return on average assets of 0.43 percent for the six months ended March 31, 2020. The annualized return on average shareholders’ equity was 6.26 percent for the six months ended March 31, 2021, compared to 3.74 percent in annualized return on average shareholders’ equity for the six months ended March 31, 2020.

Net interest income was $6.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. The net interest margin (“NIM”) on an annualized basis increased by 30 basis points from 2.24 for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 to 2.54 percent for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. This increase in NIM was primarily driven by the decrease in the cost of interest-bearing deposits, which decreased by 79 basis points for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020, offset in part by the impact of adjustments to loan interest income as a result of non-accrual interest and related COVID deferred interest. The cost of borrowings decreased by 42 basis points for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Net interest income was $14.1 million for the six months ended March 31, 2021, an increase of $425,000, or 3.1 percent, from $13.7 million for the six months ended March 31, 2020. The net interest margin on an annualized basis increased by 30 basis points from 2.28 for the six months ended March 31, 2020 to 2.58 percent for the six months ended March 31, 2021. This increase in NIM was primarily driven by the decrease in the cost of interest-bearing deposits, which decreased by 74 basis points for the six months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the six months ended March 31, 2020. The cost of borrowings decreased by 43 basis points for the six months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the six months ended March 31, 2020.

 

Interest Income

For the quarters ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, total interest income was $9.5 million and $11.6 million, respectively. The average yield on interest-earning assets declined 27 basis points for the three months ended March 31, 2021 when compared to the same period in 2020. Total interest income fell for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020, primarily due to a 53 basis point decrease on the average yield on loans.

For the six months ended March 31, 2021, total interest income was $20.1 million, a decrease of $3.3 million or 14.2 percent, from $23.5 million for the six months ended March 31, 2020. The average yield on interest-earning assets declined 22 basis points for the six months ended March 31, 2021 when compared to the same period in 2020. Total interest income fell for the six months ended March 31, 2021, compared to the six months ended March 31, 2020, primarily due to a 48 basis point decrease on the average yield on loans.

Interest Expense

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, interest expense decreased $2.1 million, or 43.4 percent, to $2.7 million, compared to $4.8 million for the same three month period in fiscal year 2020. The decrease in interest expense is primarily attributable to rate related factors, as the average rate on interest-bearing liabilities fell 75 basis points for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. This decline is reflected in a 79 basis point decrease in the average rate on interest-bearing deposits for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020.

-52-


 

For the six months ended March 31, 2021, interest expense decreased $3.8 million, or 38.4 percent, to $6.0 million, compared to the $9.8 million for the same six month period in fiscal year 2020. The decrease in interest expense on deposits is primarily attributable to rate related factors. The average rate of total interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 1.19 percent for the six months ended March 31, 2021, from 1.88 percent for the six months ended March 31, 2020. This decrease primarily reflects a decrease in the average rate of interest-bearing deposits of 0.74 percent for the six months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020, and a decrease in the average rate of borrowings of 0.43 percent for the six months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. The decrease in the average rate of interest-bearing deposits for this period consisted of a 0.77 percent decrease in average rate of other interest-bearing deposit accounts, a 0.72 percent decrease in the average rate of certificates of deposit, and a 0.70 percent decrease in the average rate of money market accounts.

 

Variance in Net Interest Income

The following table quantifies the impact on net interest income resulting from changes in average balances and average rates during the periods presented. Any change in interest income or expense attributable to both changes in volume and changes in rate has been allocated in proportion to the relationship of the absolute dollar amount of change in each category.

Average Balances, Net Interest Income, and Yields Earned and Rates Paid.  The following table shows for the periods indicated the total dollar amount of interest from average interest-earning assets and the resulting yields, as well as the interest expense on average interest-bearing liabilities, expressed both in dollars and rates, and the NIM (net interest income as a percentage of average interest-earning assets). All average balances are based on monthly balances. Management does not believe that the monthly averages differ significantly from what the daily averages would be. Quarterly rates, yields, spreads, and margins throughout this MD&A are calculated on an annualized basis where appropriate.

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, total other income amounted to $1.2 million, compared to total other income of $964,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2020. This increase in total other income was primarily due to increases of $274,000 in net gains on sale of loans and $79,000 in net gains on sale of investments, partially offset by a decrease of $185,000 in service charges and other fees.  The net gain on sale of loans was a result of a strategic effort to originate and sell residential loans in the current low interest rate environment, and the net gain on sale of investments resulted from managing and optimizing portfolio activity in the ordinary course of business. The decrease in service charges and other fees was primarily due to the recognition of approximately $371,000 of net swap fees through the Bank’s commercial loan hedging program realized during the quarter ended March 31, 2020, offset by approximately $131,000 in prepayment penalties and $44,000 of PPP loan referral income recognized during the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

 

For the six months ended March 31, 2021, total other income amounted to $2.4 million, compared to total other income of $1.4 million for the same period in fiscal year 2020. This increase was primarily a result of a $675,000 increase in net gains on sale of loans and a $434,000 increase in net gains on sale of investments, offset by a decrease of $197,000 in service charges and other fees. As discussed above, the net gain on sale of loans was a result of a strategic effort to originate and sell residential loans in the current low interest rate environment, and the net gain on sale of investments resulted from managing and optimizing portfolio activity in the ordinary course of business. The decrease in service charges and other fees is primarily due to the recognition of approximately $371,000 less of net swap fees through the Bank’s commercial loan hedging program during the six months ended March 31, 2020.

Income Taxes

 

The Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $682,000 and $1.4 million in income tax expense during the three and six months ended March 31, 2021, respectively, reflecting an effective tax rate of 23.5 percent and 23.9 percent, respectively. The Company recorded a provision for income taxes of $586,000 and $560,000 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2020, respectively, reflecting an effective tax rate of 23.5 percent and 17.2 percent, respectively. During the six months ended March 31, 2020, the Company recorded discrete items that reduced the effective tax rate.

Investment Portfolio

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the average volume of investment securities increased by $9.5 million to approximately $49.7 million, or 4.6 percent of average earning assets, from $40.2 million on average, or 3.3 percent of average earning assets, for the three months ended March 31, 2020. During the six months ended March 31, 2021, the average volume of investment securities increased by $9.2 million to approximately $49.7 million, or 4.6 percent of average earning assets, from $40.5 million, or 3.4 percent of average earning assets, for the six months ended March 31, 2020. At March 31, 2021, the total investment portfolio amounted to $54.7 million, an increase of $8.2 million or 17.7 percent from September 30, 2020. This increase in the investment portfolio was primarily due to purchases of $23.0 million of investment securities, partially offset by maturation, calls, and sales of $15.1 million of investment securities. At March 31, 2021, the principal components of the investment portfolio were government agency obligations, federal agency obligations, including mortgage-backed securities, obligations of U.S. states and political subdivisions, corporate bonds and notes, a trust preferred security, and taxable mutual funds.

 

During the three month period ended March 31, 2021, rate-related factors increased investment revenue by approximately $16,000, while volume-related factors increased investment revenue by approximately $63,000 from the three month period ended March 31, 2020. The yield on investments increased by thirteen basis points to 2.77 percent for the three month period ended March 31, 2021, as compared to 2.64 percent for the three month period ended March 31, 2020. The yield on the entire investment portfolio increased primarily due to the purchase of higher yielding investments . 

 

During the six month period ended March 31, 2021, rate-related factors increased investment revenue by approximately $78,000, while volume-related factors increased investment revenue by approximately $118,000 from the six month period ended March 31, 2020. The yield on investments increased by 32 basis points to 2.88 percent for the six month period ended March 31, 2021 as compared to 2.56 percent for the six month period ended March 31, 2020. The yield on the portfolio increased primarily due to the purchase of higher yielding investments.

 

Loan Portfolio

The Company’s loan portfolio consists of residential, construction and development, commercial, and consumer loans, serving the diverse customer base in its market area. The composition of the Company’s portfolio continues to change due to the local competition. Factors such as the economic climate, interest rates, real estate values and employment all contribute to changes in the composition of the Company’s portfolio. Growth is generated through business development efforts, repeat customer requests for new financings, penetration into existing markets, and entry into new markets.

The Company seeks to create growth in commercial lending, which primarily includes commercial real estate, multi-family, farmland, and commercial and industrial lending, by offering customer-focused products and competitive pricing and by capitalizing on the positive trends in its market area. Products offered are designed to meet the financial requirements of the Company’s customers. It is the objective of the Company’s credit policies to diversify the commercial loan portfolio and limit concentrations in any single industry.

Total gross loans amounted to $986.4 million at March 31, 2021 and $1.039 billion at September 30, 2020. The $52.6 million decrease in the gross loan portfolio at March 31, 2021 compared to September 30, 2020 primarily reflected decreases of $16.0 million in commercial loans net of the sale of $19.7 million of PPP loans, $23.9 million in residential mortgage loans, and $4.0 million in consumer loans, which were partially offset by an increase of $11.0 million in construction and development loans. For the quarter

-57-


 

ended March 31, 2021, the Company originated total new loans of $47.1 million, which was offset by loan payoffs of $37.6 million, prepayments of $18.1 million, amortization of $7.0 million, and participations of $442,000.

At March 31, 2021, the Company had $130.8 million in overall undisbursed loan commitments, which consisted primarily of available usage from active construction facilities, unused commercial lines of credit and home equity lines of credit.

The average balance of our total loans decreased $24.1 million, or 2.4 percent, for the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to the same period in fiscal year 2020, while the average yield on loans decreased by 53 basis points for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared with the same period in fiscal year 2020. The decrease in average total loan volume was primarily due to increased paydowns. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2021 compared to the same period in fiscal year 2020, the volume-related factors during the period contributed to a decrease of interest income on loans of $252,000, while the rate-related factors decreased interest income on loans by $1.3 million.

The average balance of our total loans decreased $1.1 million, or 0.1 percent, for the six months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to the same period in fiscal year 2020, while the average yield on loans decreased by 48 basis points for the six months ended March 31, 2021 compared with the same period in fiscal year 2020. The decrease in average total loan volume was primarily due to increased paydowns. During the six months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the same period in fiscal year 2020, the volume-related factors during the period contributed to a decrease of interest income on loans of $23,000, while the rate-related factors decreased interest income on loans by $2.4 million.

Allowance for Loan Losses and Related Provision

The purpose of the ALLL is to absorb the impact of losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Additions to the ALLL are made through provisions charged against current operations and through recoveries made on loans previously charged-off. The ALLL is maintained at an amount considered adequate by management to provide for probable loan losses inherent in the loan portfolio based upon a periodic evaluation of the portfolio’s risk characteristics. In establishing an appropriate ALLL, an assessment of the individual borrowers, a determination of the value of the underlying collateral, a review of historical loss experience and an analysis of the levels and trends of loan categories, delinquencies and problem loans are considered. Such factors as the level and trend of interest rates and current economic conditions and peer group statistics are also reviewed. Given the economic volatility impacting national, regional, and local markets, the Company’s analysis of its ALLL takes into consideration the potential impact that current trends may have on the Company’s borrower base.

Although management uses the best information available, the level of the ALLL remains an estimate, which is subject to significant judgment and short-term change. Various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company’s ALLL. Such agencies may require the Company to increase the ALLL based on their analysis of information available to them at the time of their examination. Furthermore, the majority of the Company’s loans are secured by real estate in the State of New Jersey and the State of Pennsylvania. Future adjustments to the ALLL may be necessary due to economic factors impacting New Jersey and Pennsylvania real estate and the economy in general, as well as operating, regulatory and other conditions beyond the Company’s control.

 

At March 31, 2021, the ALLL amounted to approximately $12.6 million, or 1.28 percent of total loans. At September 30, 2020, the ALLL amounted to approximately $12.4 million, or 1.22 percent of total loans, excluding approximately $20.8 million of PPP loans. The Company did not record a provision for loan losses during the quarter ended March 31, 2021 compared to $625,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. For the six months ended March 31, 2021, the Company recorded $550,000 in provision for loan losses compared to $2.8 million for the six months ended March 31, 2020. The increase in the ALLL as a percent of gross loans reflects an increase in qualitative factors as a result of COVID-19 and the economic impact it could have on the Company’s loan portfolio.

The net charge-offs were $434,000 and $382,000 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2021, respectively, compared to $31,000 and $2.3 million for the three and six months ended March 31, 2020, respectively. 

 

We will continue to experience some level of periodic charge-offs in the future as exit strategies are considered and executed, in

particular as it relates to our clients impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Loans with previously established specific reserves may ultimately result in a charge-off under a variety of scenarios.

The level of the ALLL for the respective periods of fiscal year 2021 and fiscal year 2020 reflects the credit quality within the loan portfolio, the loan volume recorded during the periods, the changing composition of the commercial and residential real estate loan portfolios and other related factors. In management’s view, the level of the ALLL at March 31, 2021 was adequate to cover losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Actual results could differ materially from management’s analysis, based principally upon the factors considered by management in establishing the ALLL.

Asset Quality

The Company manages asset quality and credit risk by maintaining diversification in its loan portfolio and through review processes that include analysis of credit requests and ongoing examination of outstanding loans, delinquencies, and potential problem loans, with particular attention to portfolio dynamics and mix. The Company strives to identify loans experiencing difficulty early enough to correct the problems, to record charge-offs promptly based on realistic assessments of current collateral values and cash flows, and to maintain an adequate ALLL at all times.

It is generally the Company’s policy to discontinue interest accruals once a loan is past due as to interest or principal payments for a period of 90 days. When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, interest accruals cease and uncollected accrued interest is reversed and charged against current income. Payments received on non-accrual loans are applied against principal. A loan may be restored to an accruing basis when it again becomes well-secured, all past due amounts have been collected and the borrower continues to make payments for the next six months on a timely basis. Accruing loans past due 90 days or more are generally well-secured and in the process of collection. For additional information regarding loans, see Note 8 of the Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

Non-Performing Assets and Troubled Debt Restructured Loans

Non-performing loans include non-accrual loans and accruing loans that are contractually past due 90 days or more. Non-accrual loans represent loans on which interest accruals have been suspended. In general, it is the policy of management to consider the charge-off of loans at the point they become past due in excess of 90 days, with the exception of loans that are both well-secured and in the process of collection. Non-performing assets include non-performing loans and OREO. TDR loans represent loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties on which a concession was granted, such as a reduction in interest rate which is lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risks, or modified repayment terms, and are performing under the restructured terms. Such loans, as long as they are performing in accordance with their restructured terms, are not included within the Company’s non-performing loans. For additional information regarding loans, see Note 8 of the Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

The following table sets forth, as of the dates indicated, the amount of the Company’s non-accrual loans, accruing loans past due 90 days or more, OREO and performing TDR loans:

Non-accrual loans were $22.3 million at March 31, 2021 and $16.7 million at September 30, 2020.  OREO was $5.8 million at March 31, 2021 and September 30, 2020.  This increase in non-accrual loans was primarily due to one $12.9 million commercial real estate loan classified as substandard and non-accruing as of March 31, 2021. This loan was placed on non-accrual during the quarter due to the Bank becoming aware that the sole tenant will not be renewing its lease coming due in June 2021 and the property owner will be pursuing a sale of the property. The loan is currently making payments in accordance with the loan’s contractual term, which are being applied 100 percent to reduce the principal balance of the loan. This increase in non-accrual loans was partially offset by a $6.5 million commercial real estate, TDR loan that was returned to accrual status as of March 31, 2021. Total performing TDR loans were $22.7 million at March 31, 2021 and $13.4 million at September 30, 2020. This increase of performing TDR loans is primarily due to one commercial real estate loan of approximately $6.5 million returning to accrual status as of March 31, 2021. See discussion in Note 8 of the Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for further information. 

At March 31, 2021, non-performing assets totaled $28.8 million, or 2.39 percent of total assets, as compared with $22.6 million, or 1.87 percent, at September 30, 2020.  

Credit quality risk ratings include categories of “pass,” “special mention,” “substandard” and “doubtful.” Assets classified as “pass” are those protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or by the value of the underlying collateral. Assets which do not currently expose the insured institution to sufficient risk to warrant classification as substandard or doubtful but possess certain identified weaknesses are required to be designated as “special mention.” If uncorrected, the potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects. An asset is considered “substandard” if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. “Substandard” assets include those characterized by the “distinct possibility” that the insured institution will sustain “some loss” if the deficiencies are not corrected. Assets classified as “doubtful” have all of the weaknesses inherent in those classified “substandard” with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make “collection or liquidation in full,” on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, “highly questionable and improbable.”

At March 31, 2021, special mention loans were $58.6 million compared to $62.8 million at September 30, 2020. Substandard loans were $52.3 million and $31.2 million at March 31, 2021 and September 30, 2020, respectively. This increase in substandard loans is primarily due to one commercial real estate loan in the amount of $13.4 million, previously classified as pass and moved to substandard during the first fiscal quarter (and subsequently partially charged-off by $484,000 in the second fiscal quarter), two commercial and industrial loans in the amount of $6.2 million, previously classified as special mention and moved to substandard during the second fiscal quarter, and one commercial farmland loan in the amount of $2.3 million, previously classified as pass and moved to substandard during the first fiscal quarter. Our loans that have been identified as special mention or substandard are

considered potential problem loans due to a variety of changing conditions affecting the credits, including general economic conditions and/or conditions applicable to the specific borrowers.  

          

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Note 2 discusses the expected impact of accounting pronouncements recently issued or proposed but not yet required to be adopted.

Asset and Liability Management

Asset and liability management encompasses an analysis of market risk, the control of interest rate risk (interest sensitivity management) and the ongoing maintenance and planning of liquidity and capital. The composition of the Company’s statement of condition is planned and monitored by the Asset and Liability Committee (“ALCO”). In general, management’s objective is to optimize net interest income and minimize market risk and interest rate risk by monitoring the components of the statement of condition and the interaction of interest rates.

Short-term interest rate exposure analysis is supplemented with an interest sensitivity gap model. The Company utilizes interest sensitivity analysis to measure the responsiveness of net interest income to changes in interest rate levels. Interest rate risk arises when an earning asset matures or when its interest rate changes in a time period different than that of a supporting interest-bearing liability, or when an interest-bearing liability matures or when its interest rate changes in a time period different than that of an earning asset that it supports. While the Company matches only a small portion of specific assets and liabilities, total earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities are grouped to determine the overall interest rate risk within a number of specific time frames. The difference between interest-sensitive assets and interest-sensitive liabilities is referred to as the interest sensitivity gap. At any given point in time, the Company may be in an asset-sensitive position, whereby its interest-sensitive assets exceed its interest-sensitive liabilities, or in a liability-sensitive position, whereby its interest-sensitive liabilities exceed its interest-sensitive assets, depending in part on management’s judgment as to projected interest rate trends.

The Company’s interest rate sensitivity position in each time frame may be expressed as assets less liabilities, as liabilities less assets, or as the ratio between rate sensitive assets (“RSA”) and rate sensitive liabilities (“RSL”). For example, a short-funded position (liabilities repricing before assets) would be expressed as a net negative position, when period gaps are computed by subtracting repricing liabilities from repricing assets. When using the ratio method, an RSA/RSL ratio of 1 indicates a balanced position, a ratio greater than 1 indicates an asset-sensitive position and a ratio less than 1 indicates a liability-sensitive position.

A negative gap and/or a rate sensitivity ratio less than 1 tends to expand NIMs in a falling rate environment and reduce NIMs in a rising rate environment. Conversely, when a positive gap occurs, generally margins expand in a rising rate environment and contract in a falling rate environment. From time to time, the Company may elect to deliberately mismatch liabilities and assets in a strategic gap position.

At March 31, 2021, the Company reflected a positive interest sensitivity gap with an interest sensitivity ratio of 1.20:1.00 at the cumulative one-year position.

Estimates of Fair Value

The estimation of fair value is significant to a number of the Company’s assets, including investment securities available-for-sale. These are all recorded at either fair value or the lower of cost or fair value. Fair values are volatile and may be influenced by a number of factors. Circumstances that could cause estimates of the fair value of certain assets and liabilities to change include a change in prepayment speeds, discount rates, or market interest rates. Fair values for most available-for-sale investment securities are based on quoted market prices. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic condition, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature, involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

The financial statements and notes thereto presented elsewhere herein have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering the change in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The impact of inflation is reflected in the increased cost of operations; unlike most industrial companies, nearly all of the Company’s assets and liabilities are monetary. As a result, interest rates have a

-61-


 

greater impact on performance than do the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the prices of goods and services.

Liquidity

The liquidity position of the Company is dependent primarily on successful management of the Bank’s assets and liabilities so as to meet the needs of both deposit and credit customers. Liquidity needs arise principally to accommodate possible deposit outflows and to meet customers’ requests for loans. Scheduled principal loan repayments, maturing investments, short-term liquid assets, and deposit inflows can satisfy such needs. The objective of liquidity management is to enable the Company to maintain sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations in a timely and cost-effective manner.

Management monitors current and projected cash flows, and adjusts positions as necessary to maintain adequate levels of liquidity. Under its liquidity risk management program, the Company regularly monitors correspondent bank funding exposure and credit exposure in accordance with guidelines issued by the banking regulatory authorities. Management uses a variety of potential funding sources and staggering maturities to reduce the risk of potential funding pressure. Management also maintains a detailed contingency funding plan designed to respond adequately to situations which could lead to stresses on liquidity. Management believes that the Company has the funding capacity to meet the liquidity needs arising from potential events. The Company maintains borrowing capacity through the FHLB of Pittsburgh secured with loans and marketable securities.

The Company’s primary sources of short-term liquidity consist of cash and cash equivalents and investment securities available-for-sale. At March 31, 2021, the Company had $108.9 million in cash and cash equivalent compared to $61.4 million at September 30, 2020. In addition, our available for sale investment securities amounted to $28.9 million at March 31, 2021 and $31.5 million at September 30, 2020.

Deposits

Total deposits increased $21.3 million, or 2.4 percent, from $890.9 million at September 30, 2020 to $912.2 million at March 31, 2021. Total interest-bearing deposits increased $17.5 million from $840.5 million at September 30, 2020 to $858.0 million at March 31, 2021. Interest-bearing demand, savings, and time deposits under $100,000 increased $69.8 million to a total of $816.8 million at March 31, 2021 as compared to $747.0 million at September 30, 2020. Time deposits $100,000 and over decreased $48.5 million as compared to September 30, 2020. Time deposits $100,000 and over represented 10.5 percent of total deposits at March 31, 2021 compared to 16.2 percent at September 30, 2020. We had brokered deposits totaling $6.1 million at March 31, 2021 compared to $31.1 million at September 30, 2020.

The Company continues to focus on the maintenance, development, and expansion of its deposit base. Management believes that the emphasis on serving the needs of our communities will provide a long-term relationship base which in turn will allow the Company to efficiently compete for and retain deposits in its market.

The following table depicts the Company’s deposits classified by type, with percentages to total deposits, at March 31, 2021 and September 30, 2020:

Borrowings

Advances from the FHLB of Pittsburgh are available to supplement the Company’s liquidity position and, to the extent that maturing deposits do not remain with the Company, management may replace such funds with these advances. As of each of March 31, 2021 and September 30, 2020, the Company’s outstanding balance of FHLB advances totaled $110.0 million.  Of the $110.0 million in advances, $20.0 million represent short-term, fixed-rate advances maturing in 2021 and $20.0 million represent long-term, fixed-rate advances maturing in 2022. At March 31, 2021, there were two short-term FHLB advances totaling $70.0 million of fixed-rate borrowings with rollover of 90 days.

The Company did not purchase any securities sold under agreements to repurchase as a short-term funding source during the second fiscal quarters of 2021 or 2020. 

 

Cash Flows

The Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows present the changes in cash and cash equivalents resulting from the Company’s operating, investing, and financing activities. During the six months ended March 31, 2021, cash and cash equivalents increased by $47.5 million from the balance at September 30, 2020. Net cash of $6.7 million was provided by operating activities primarily due to net income of $4.5 million and a decrease of $5.4 million in other assets, and amortization of loan origination fees and costs of $1.1 million, partially offset by a decrease of $4.5 million in other liabilities. Net cash provided by investing activities amounted to approximately $43.4 million primarily due to a net decrease in loans of $50.6 million. The decrease in net cash from financing activities of $2.6 million was primarily from the net decrease of $20.0 million in long term borrowings and $4.2 million in secured borrowings, partially offset by the increase in deposits of $21.3 million.

Shareholders’ Equity

Total shareholders’ equity amounted to $145.9 million, or 12.1 percent of total assets, at March 31, 2021, compared to $140.6 million or 11.6 percent of total assets at September 30, 2020. Book value per common share was $19.17 at March 31, 2021, compared to $18.47 at September 30, 2020.

Information on Stock Repurchases

Information on Stock Repurchases is provided in “Part II. Other Information, Item 2, Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds” herein.

Item 3 - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

This Item has been omitted based on the Company’s status as a smaller reporting company.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

Our management evaluated, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this report.  Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

-63-


 

Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2021, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, solely as a result of the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described below, which continued to exist as of March 31, 2021, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2021.

Previously Disclosed Material Weaknesses

The Company disclosed in Item 9A - Controls and Procedures in its 2020 Annual Report Item 9A that as of September 30, 2020, management identified a material weakness related to the ineffective design and operation of policies and procedures with respect to the Company’s review of certain loan participation contracts, and changes to recourse provisions therein. More specifically, certain provisions drafted into two loan participation agreements, including certain amendments and modifications, resulted in these loans being accounted for as secured borrowings.  As a result of this material weakness, the Company failed to detect and correct, on a timely basis, errors in its accounting for loan participation interests.

 

With respect to loan impairment, management also identified a material weakness related to the annual and quarterly financial reporting process associated with the assessment of certain information relating to COVID-19 modified loans necessary to adequately evaluate risk of impairment of such loans on a timely basis.  As a result of this material weakness, for one COVID-19 modified commercial real estate loan, there was a failure to properly consider loan credit quality information in a timely manner relating to the pandemic’s impact on various factors affecting the fair value of the collateral, which ultimately caused the loan to become collateral dependent and impaired.

Remediation Plan and Status

In response to the identified material weaknesses, our management, with the oversight of the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors, has begun to dedicate significant resources, including additional employee training, toward efforts to improve our internal control over financial reporting. We implemented additional control procedures, including redesigning and enhancing control activities related to preparation and review of existing and new loan participation agreements, and any amendments thereto.  In addition, we have developed enhanced financial reporting procedures for assessing significant subsequent events related to loan modifications, including a quarterly identification and review of significant loan modifications occurring subsequent to quarter end but prior to the financial statements being issued, to ensure that the relevant accounting implications are identified and considered, including the market value impact and potentially material information that may impact credit quality of loans.

We believe the measures described above will remediate these material weaknesses we have identified and strengthen our internal control over financial reporting. We are committed to continuing to improve our internal control processes and will continue to review, optimize, and enhance our financial reporting controls and procedures, and we may take additional measures to address control deficiencies, or we may modify, certain activities of the remediation measures described above. These material weaknesses will not be considered remediated until the applicable remedial controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively.

Changes in Internal Controls

Other than as disclosed in the Amendment No. 1 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, filed on February 26, 2021, there were no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the six months ended March 31, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.
