OCONEE FEDERAL FINANCIAL CORP.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

(Dollars in thousands)

 

(1)               BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Oconee Federal Financial Corp. (referred to herein as “the Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), which include the accounts of its wholly owned subsidiary Oconee Federal Savings and Loan Association (the “Association”),  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. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated during consolidation. The Company is majority owned (65.02%) by Oconee Federal, MHC. These financial statements do not include the transactions and balances of Oconee Federal, MHC.

 

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2012 and June 30, 2011 and the results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011. All interim amounts have not been audited, and the results of operations for the interim periods herein are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the year. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Form 10-K Annual Report of Oconee Federal Financial Corp. for the year ended June 30, 2011.

 

(2)               NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

 

ASU 2011-02, Receivables ( Topic 310 ): A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring is a Troubled Debt Restructuring provides additional guidance to clarify when a loan modification or restructuring is considered a troubled debt restructuring (TDR) in order to address current diversity in practice and lead to more consistent application of U.S. GAAP for debt restructurings. In evaluating whether a restructuring constitutes a troubled debt restructuring, a creditor must separately conclude that both of the following exist: (1) the restructuring constitutes a concession, and (2) the debtor is experiencing financial difficulties. The amendments to Topic 310 clarify the guidance regarding the evaluation of both considerations above. Additionally, the amendments clarify that a creditor is precluded from using the effective interest rate test in the debtor’s guidance on restructuring of payables (paragraph 470-60-55-10) when evaluating whether a restructuring constitutes a TDR. This amendment is effective for us July 1, 2011. Early adoption is permitted. Retrospective application to the beginning of the annual period of adoption for modifications occurring on or after the beginning of the annual adoption period is required. As a result of applying these amendments, we may identify receivables that are newly considered to be impaired. For purposes of measuring impairment of those receivables, an entity should apply the amendments prospectively for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011. Implementation of these updates did not have a significant impact to the consolidated financial statements.

 

In May 2011, the FASB has issued ASU No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. This ASU represents the converged guidance of the FASB and the IASB (the Boards) on fair value measurement. The collective efforts of the Boards and their staffs, reflected in ASU 2011-04, have resulted in common requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements, including a consistent meaning of the term “fair value.” The Boards have concluded the common requirements will result in greater comparability of fair value measurements presented and disclosed in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.  The amendments to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification in this ASU are to be applied prospectively. For public entities, the amendments are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Early application by public entities is not permitted.  The Company has complied with this update, and the effect of applying this standard is reflected in our notes to the consolidated financial statements.

 

In June 2011, the FASB has issued ASU No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income. This ASU amends the FASB Accounting Standards Codification to allow an entity the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In both choices, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in

shareholders’ equity. The amendments to the Codification in the ASU do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. ASU 2011-05 should be applied retrospectively. For public entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011.  In December 2011, FASB issued ASU 2011-12, which defers the effective date of this requirement in ASU 2011-05 to present items that are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to net income alongside their respective components for net income and other comprehensive income.  Early adoption is permitted. The Company has already complied with this update and the changes are reflected in our consolidated financial statements.

 

(3)               EARNINGS PER SHARE (“EPS”)

 

Basic EPS share is determined by dividing net earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. ESOP shares are considered outstanding for this calculation unless unearned. The factors used in the earnings per common share computation follow:

There were three U.S. Government agency securities, two certificates of deposit, three FNMA and one FHLMC security with an unrealized loss at March 31, 2012. None of the unrealized losses for these securities have been recognized in net income for the three or nine months ended March 31, 2012 because of the high credit quality of the securities, management does not intend to sell and it is likely that management will not be required to sell the securities prior to their anticipated recovery, and the decline in fair value is largely due to changes in interest rates. The fair value is expected to recover as the bonds approach their maturity date or reset date. There were no securities with unrealized losses at June 30, 2011.

 

The Company evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. The Company considers the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost and the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer. Additionally, the Company considers its intent to sell or whether it will be more likely than not it will be required to sell the security prior to the security’s anticipated recovery in fair value. In analyzing an issuer’s financial condition, the Company may consider whether the securities are issued by federal Government agencies, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred, and the results of reviews of the issuer’s financial condition.

 

During the nine months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, management recorded an other-than-temporary impairment charge on the FHLMC common stock of $7 and $30, respectively based on management’s evaluation of the length of time the FHLMC had been impaired and the prospects of recoverability.

 

The amortized cost and fair value of securities available for sale and held to maturity debt securities at March 31, 2012 by contractual maturity are summarized as follows:

The Company utilizes a grading system whereby all loans are assigned a grade based on the risk profile of each loan. Loan grades are determined based on an evaluation of relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. All loans, regardless of size, are analyzed and assigned a grade based upon management’s assessment of the ability of borrowers to service their debts.

 

The Company uses the following definitions for loan grades:

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Loans not meeting the criteria above are graded Pass. These loans are included within groups of homogenous pools of loans based upon portfolio segment and class for estimation of the allowance for loan losses on a collective basis. Loans graded special mention, substandard or doubtful are individually evaluated for impairment, regardless of size.

 

At March 31, 2012 and June 30, 2011, and based on the most recent analyses performed, the loan grade for each loan by portfolio segment and class is as follows:

(6)           FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values:

 

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

 

Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

 

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

 

Investment Securities:

 

The fair values of securities available for sale are determined by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1 inputs) or matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2 inputs).

 

Impaired Loans:

 

The fair value of impaired loans with specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses is generally based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are typically significant and result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.

 

Real estate owned:

 

Nonrecurring adjustments to certain commercial and residential real estate properties classified as real estate owned are measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value, less costs to sell.  Fair values are generally based on third party appraisals of the property, resulting in a Level 3 classification. In cases where the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, less costs to sell, an impairment loss is recognized.

(7)           EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN

 

Employees participate in an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”). The ESOP borrowed from the Company to purchase 248,842 shares of the Company’s common stock at $10 per share during 2011. The Company makes discretionary contributions to the ESOP, and pays dividends on unallocated shares to the ESOP, and the ESOP uses funds it receives to repay the loan. When loan payments are made, ESOP shares are allocated to participants based on relative compensation and expense is recorded. Dividends on allocated shares increase participant accounts.

 

Participants receive the shares at the end of employment. No contributions to the ESOP were made during the nine months ended March 31, 2012. The expense recognized for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2012 was $48 and $169, respectively.

(8)           SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

On April 5, 2012, the stockholders of the Company approved the Oconee Federal Financial Corp. 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”),  authorizing the issuance of up to 435,472 shares of the Company’s common stock, with no more than 124,420 shares as restricted stock awards and 311,052 as stock options, either incentive stock options or non-qualified stock options.   The exercise price of options granted under the Plan may not be less than the fair market value on the date the stock option is granted.  The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors has sole discretion to determine the amount and to whom equity incentive awards are granted.  On April 27, 2012, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company granted stock options and restricted stock under Plan to its directors and certain of its officers, including its named executive officers.  A total of 62,208 stock options and 24,884 shares of restricted stock were granted to directors.  In addition, a total of 171,078 stock options and 62,210 shares of restricted stock were granted to officers.  Stock options and restricted stock vest ratably over periods ranging from five to seven years, and stock options expire ten years after issuance.  Apart from the vesting schedule for both stock options and restricted stock, there are no performance-based conditions or any other material conditions applicable to the awards issued.  Subsequent to this issuance of stock options and restricted stock awards, there were 115,092 shares available for future grants under the Plan.

 

On April 19, 2012, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.10 per share of the Company’s common stock.  The dividend will be payable to stockholders of record as of May 3, 2012, and will be paid on or about May 17, 2012.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OCONEE FEDERAL FINANCIAL CORP.

 

This Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements, which can be identified by the use of such words as estimate, project, believe, intend, anticipate, plan, seek, expect and similar expressions. These forward-looking statements include:

 

·      statements of our goals, intentions and expectations;

 

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

 

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

 

·      estimates of our risks and future costs and benefits.

 

These forward-looking statements are based on our current beliefs and expectations and are inherently subject to significant business, economic, and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control. In addition, these forward-looking statements are subject to assumptions with respect to future business strategies and decisions that are subject to change. We are under no duty to and do not take any obligation to update any forward-looking statements after the date of this Quarterly Report.

 

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

 

·      our ability to manage our operations under the current adverse economic conditions nationally and in our market area;

 

·                  adverse changes in the financial industry, securities, credit and national and local real estate markets (including real estate values);

 

·                  changes in the interest rate environment that reduce our margins or reduce the fair value of financial instruments and inflation;

 

·      further declines in the yield on our assets resulting from the current low market interest rate environment;

 

·      changes in consumer borrowing, spending or savings habits, including a lack of consumer confidence in financial institutions;

 

·      risks related to high concentration of loans secured by real estate located in our market area;

 

·      significant increases in our loan losses;

 

·      potential increases in deposit and premium assessments;

 

·      our ability to pay dividends and Oconee Federal, MHC’s ability to waive receipt of dividends;

 

·                  legislative or regulatory changes, including increased compliance costs resulting from the recently enacted financial reform legislation, that adversely affect our business and earnings;

 

·      changes in the level of government support of housing finance;

 

·      significantly increased competition with either depository and nondepository financial institutions;

 

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

 

·      our reliance on a small executive staff;

 

·                  changes in accounting policies and practices as may be adopted by the bank regulatory agencies and the authoritative accounting and auditing bodies:

 

20



Table of Contents

 

·      risks and costs related to operating as a publicly traded company; and

 

·      changes in our organization, compensation and benefit plans.

 

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

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

There are no material changes to the critical accounting policies disclosed in Form 10-K Annual Report of Oconee Federal Financial Corp. as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 2012 and June 30, 2011

 

Our total assets increased $2.6 million, or 0.69%, to $376.9 million at March 31, 2012 from $374.3 million at June 30, 2011. The increase was primarily due to an increase in securities available for sale of $24.9 million, or 81.14%, to $55.5 million at March 31, 2012 from $30.6 million at June 30, 2011.  The increase in securities available for sale was offset by a decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $11.6 million, or 19.04%, to $49.2 million at March 31, 2012 from $60.8 million at June 30, 2011 and a decrease in net loans of $9.2 million, or 3.47%, to $255.7 million at March 31, 2012 from $264.9 million at June 30, 2011. The continued increase in securities was due to a decrease in the demand for loans in our market area, the investment of deposit funds and the proceeds of our stock offering in securities instead of loans, and our desire to obtain a higher yield than the current yield rate on federal funds.

 

Total gross loans decreased by $9.2, or 3.4%, million to $258.1 million at March 31, 2012 from $267.3 million at June 30, 2011.  Our one to four family real estate loans decreased by $10.2 million, or 4.2%, to $238.9 million at March 31, 2012 from $249.1 million at June 30, 2011 resulting from decreased demand in our market area.  The decrease in one to four family real estate loans was offset by an increase in construction and land loans to $8.2 million at March 31, 2012 from $7.2 million at June 30, 2011 resulting from increased demand for construction and land loans of $1.0 million, or 14.3%, in our market area.  All other loan categories decreased slightly from June 30, 2011 to March 31, 2012 by $83 thousand.

 

Deposits increased $791 thousand, or 0.27%, to $293.3 million at March 31, 2012 from $292.5 million at June 30, 2011.  The increase was primarily attributed to an increase in NOW and demand deposits of $1.5 million, an increase in money market deposits of $1.4 million and an increase in regular savings and other of $945 thousand, offset by a decrease in certificate of deposits of $3.1 million.  We generally do not accept brokered deposits and no brokered deposits were accepted during the nine months ended March 31, 2012.

 

We had no advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta as of March 31, 2012 or June 30, 2011. We have credit available under a loan agreement with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta in the amount of 11% of total assets (as of December 31, 2011), or approximately $41.3 million.

 

Total equity equaled $82.2 million at March 31, 2012, compared to $80.2 million at June 30, 2011.  The increase of $2.0 million, or 2.4%, was primarily related to net income for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 of $2.8 million less $1.2 million in dividends for the same period.

There were no other loans that are not disclosed above where there is information about possible credit problems of borrowers that caused us serious doubts about the ability of the borrowers to comply with present loan repayment terms and that may result in disclosure of such loans in the future.

 

Interest income that would have been recorded had our non-accruing loans been current in accordance with their original terms was $61 thousand and $159 thousand for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 and  2011, respectively. Interest of $52 thousand and $30 thousand was recognized on these loans and is included in net income for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Analysis of Net Interest Margin

 

The following tables set forth average balance sheets, average yields and rates, and certain other information at and for the periods indicated. No tax-equivalent yield adjustments were made, as the effect thereof was not material. All average balances are daily average balances. Non-accrual loans were included in the computation of average balances, but have been reflected in the tables as loans carrying a zero yield. The yields set forth below include the effect of net deferred costs, discounts and premiums that are amortized or accreted to income.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011

 

General. We recognized net income of $948 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to net loss of $197 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The increase of $1.1 million was attributable to a decrease in charitable contributions expense of $1.7 million as charitable contributions expense of $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was related to the cash and shares of common stock contributed to a charitable foundation as part of the mutual to stock conversion and reorganization completed on January 13, 2011.  The decrease in charitable contributions expense was partially offset by an increase in income tax expense of $766 thousand.  This increase was the result of an income tax benefit recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2011 of $132 thousand compared to income tax expense of $634 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2012.  The income tax benefit resulted from the charitable contributions expense.

 

Interest Income. Interest income decreased slightly by $10 thousand to $3.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012.  The decrease was primarily the result of a decrease in the average balance of interest earning assets of $13.4 million to $350.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $363.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011.

 

Interest income on loans decreased by $151 thousand, or 4.12%, to $3.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $3.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011.  The decrease resulted from a decrease in the average balances of loans of $9.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 to $257.0 million at March 31, 2012 from $266.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011.  Interest income on investment securities increased by $134 thousand to $240 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $106 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The increase reflected an increase in the average balance of securities to $60.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $10.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011.  The increase in average balances offset the decrease in yields on such securities to 1.60% from 4.19% for the same periods.

 

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $452 thousand, or 37.70%, to $747 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011.  The decrease reflected a decrease in the average rate paid on deposits in the three months ended March 31, 2012 to 1.04% from 1.67% in the three months ended March 31, 2011 and a decrease in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits of $2.3 million to $289.3 million from $291.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011.  The largest decrease in interest expense came from certificates of deposit, which decreased $359 thousand, or 35.13% as the average balance of certificates of deposits decreased $6.0 million and the average rate paid on these deposits decreased to 1.17% from 1.78%.

 

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased by $442 thousand, or 17.05%, to $3.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011.  The increase resulted from an increase in our interest rate spread to 3.29% from 2.56% and an increase in our net interest margin to 3.47% from 2.89% for the same periods.  The increase in our interest rate spread was largely due to our declining cost of funds, which reflected the continuing decline across the U.S. Treasury yield curve.  The increase in our interest rate spread and net interest margin was partially offset by a decrease in our average interest-earning assets to average interest-bearing liabilities ratio to 1.21X for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from 1.25X for the three months ended March 3, 2011.

 

Provision for Loan Losses. We recorded a provision for loan losses of $82 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared to a negative provision of $6 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2011.  Net charge offs for the three months ended March 31, 2012 were $0 compared with $1 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The increase in the provision for loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 2012 is attributed to the provision for loans individually evaluated for impairment.

 

We used the same methodology in assessing the allowances for both periods.  To the best of our knowledge, we have recorded all losses that are both probable and reasonably estimable for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.

 

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income increased by $31 thousand to $58 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $27 thousand for the same period in 2011.  The increase in noninterest income was primarily attributed to an increase in the gains on sales of securities of $22 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2012 over the same period ended March 31, 2011.

 

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense decreased by $1.5 million.  The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease of $1.7 million in charitable contribution expense as $1.7 million of charitable contribution expenses was incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2011 related to the reorganization.  The decrease was offset partially by an increase in salaries and employee benefits of $36 thousand, an increase in professional and supervisory fees of $51 thousand, and an increase of

Table of Contents

 

$121 thousand in the provision for real estate owned over the three months ended March 31, 2011.  The increase in salary and employee benefits is primarily attributable to ESOP expense of $45 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

 

Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was $634 thousand compared with an income tax benefit of $132 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The income tax benefit was the result of our charitable contributions expense of $1.7 million. Our effective income tax rate was 40.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to 39.25% for the same period ended 2011.

 

Comparison of Operating Results for the Nine months ended March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011

 

General. We recognized net income of $2.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to net income of $1.4 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2011.  The increase of $1.4 million was primarily attributed to the decrease in charitable contribution expense of $1.7 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2012, which was partially offset by an increase in income tax expense of $984 thousand for the nine months ended as compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2011.

 

Interest Income. Interest income increased $87 thousand, or 0.76%, to $11.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2012.  The increase was due to an increase in the average balance of interest earning assets for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 to $347.8 million from $347.7 million and an increase in the average yields on interest earning assets to 4.41% from 4.38% for the same periods ended.

 

Interest income on loans decreased by $193 thousand, or 1.75%, to $10.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2012, which reflected both a decrease in the yield on loans to 5.51% for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 from 5.52% for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and a decrease in the average balance of loans to $261.5 million from $265.9 million for the same periods.  The lower yields reflected a declining market interest rate environment during 2012 from 2011 and its impact on our portfolio, which was primarily comprised of one to four family residential mortgage loans and a declining demand for those loans.  Interest income on investment securities increased by $255 thousand, or 72.24%, to $608 thousand for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 from $353 thousand for the nine months ended March 31, 2011, reflecting an increase in the average balance of such securities to $51.2 million from $11.2 million in 2011, which more than offset the decrease in the average yield on such securities to 1.58% from 4.20%.

 

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $1.4 million, or 35.10%, to $2.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 from $3.9 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2011.  The decrease reflected a decrease in the average rate paid on deposits in the nine months ended March 31, 2012 to 1.17% from 1.81% in the nine months ended March 31, 2011, which more than offset the increase of $1.4 million in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits to $289.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 from $287.6 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2011.  Interest expense on certificates of deposit decreased $844 thousand, or 25.83%, to $2.4 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 from $3.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2011.  The decrease reflected a decrease in the average cost of such certificates to 1.42% from 1.89% and a decrease in the average balance of such deposits of $1.6 million as compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2011.

 

Interest expense on money market deposits, savings, NOW and demand deposits decreased $527 thousand, or 82.47%, to $112 thousand for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 from $639 thousand for the nine months ended March 31, 2011. The decrease reflected the decrease in the average cost of such deposits to 0.26% for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 from 1.47% for the nine months ended March 31, 2011, which more than offset the increase in their average balances of $3.1 million to $61.0 million from $57.9 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2012.

 

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased by $1.5 million, or 19.37%, to $9.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 from $7.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2011.  The increase reflected an increase in our interest rate spread to 3.24% for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 from 2.57% for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and an increase in our net interest margin to 3.44% for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 from 2.88% for the nine months ended March 31, 2011.

 

Provision for Loan Losses. We recorded a provision for loan losses of $224 thousand for the nine months ended March 31, 2012, compared to a provision of $47 thousand for the nine months ended March 31, 2011, an increase of $177 thousand, or 376.6%.  Net charge offs for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 were $155 thousand compared with $62 thousand for the nine months ended March 31, 2011.  The increase in the provision for loan losses for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 is reflective of the increase in net charge offs during the nine months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2011.

We used the same methodology in assessing the allowances for both periods. To the best of our knowledge, we have recorded all losses that are both probable and reasonably estimable for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.

 

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income increased by $143 thousand to $199 thousand for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 from $56 thousand for the nine months ended March 31, 2011.  The increase in noninterest income was primarily attributed to gains on sales of available for sale securities of $89 thousand and gains on sale of real estate owned of $46 thousand for the nine months ended March 31, 2012.

 

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense decreased by $977 thousand to $4.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 from $5.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2011.  The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease of $1.7 million in charitable contribution expense as $1.7 million of charitable contribution expense was incurred during the nine months ended March 31, 2011 related to the reorganization.  The decrease was offset partially by an increase in the provision for real estate owned and related expenses of $319 thousand, an increase in professional and supervisory fees of $190 thousand, and an increase in salary and employee benefits of $218 as compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2011.  The increase in real estate owned and related expenses reflects the increase in foreclosed loans and the provision for losses in real estate owned due to declining fair values of the underlying real estate properties.  The increase in professional and supervisory fees reflects the increased costs associated with being a public company.  Salaries and employee benefits were largely impacted by ESOP expense of $169 thousand for the nine months ended March 31, 2012.

 

Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 was $1.8 million compared with $837 thousand for the nine months ended March 31, 2011. Our effective income tax rate was 39.25% for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 as compared with 37.40% for the same period ended 2011.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our primary sources of funds are deposits and the proceeds from principal and interest payments on loans and investment securities. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. We generally manage the pricing of our deposits to be competitive within our market and to increase core deposit relationships.

 

Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term responsibility of management. We adjust our investments in liquid assets based upon management’s assessment of (i) expected loan demand, (ii) expected deposit flows, (iii) yields available on interest-earning deposits and investment securities, and (iv) the objectives of our asset/liability management program. Excess liquid assets are invested generally in interest-earning overnight deposits, federal funds sold, and short and intermediate-term U.S. Government sponsored agencies and mortgage-backed securities of short duration. If we require funds beyond our ability to generate them internally, we have credit available under a loan agreement with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta in the amount of 11% assets (as of December 31, 2011), or approximately $41.3 million.

 

Common Stock Dividend Policy. The Company paid a dividend of $0.10 per share on July 19, 2011, November 3, 2011, and February 16, 2012 to shareholders of record on July 7, 2011, October 20, 2011, and February 2, 2012, respectively.
