of Stockholders.
PART
I
Item
1. Description
of Business
General
Southern
Missouri Bancorp, Inc. ("Company"), which changed its state of incorporation to
Missouri on April 1, 1999, was originally incorporated in Delaware on December
30, 1993 for the purpose of becoming the holding company for Southern Missouri
Savings Bank upon completion of Southern Missouri Savings Bank's conversion from
a state chartered mutual savings and loan association to a state chartered stock
savings bank. As part of the conversion in April 1994, the Company sold
1,803,201 shares of its common stock to the public. The Company's Common Stock
is quoted on the NASDAQ Global Market under the symbol "SMBC".
Southern
Missouri Savings Bank was originally chartered as a mutual Missouri savings and
loan association in 1887. On June 20, 1995, it converted to a federally
chartered stock savings bank and took the name Southern Missouri Savings Bank,
FSB. On February 17, 1998, Southern Missouri Savings Bank converted from a
federally chartered stock savings bank to a Missouri chartered stock savings
bank and changed its name to Southern Missouri Bank & Trust Co. On June 4,
2004, Southern Missouri Bank & Trust Co. converted from a Missouri chartered
stock savings bank to a Missouri state chartered trust company with banking
powers ("Charter Conversion"). On June 1, 2009, the institution changed its name
to Southern Bank ("Bank").
The
primary regulator of the Bank is the Missouri Division of Finance. The Bank is a
member of the Federal Reserve, and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System ("Federal Reserve Board" or "FRB") is the Bank's primary federal
regulator. The Bank's deposits continue to be insured up to applicable limits by
the Deposit Insurance Fund ("DIF") of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
("FDIC"). With the Bank's conversion to a trust company with banking powers, the
Company became a bank holding company regulated by the FRB.
The
principal business of the Bank consists primarily of attracting retail deposits
from the general public and using such deposits along with wholesale funding
from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines ("FHLB"), and to a lesser extent,
brokered deposits, to invest in one- to four-family residential mortgage loans,
mortgage loans secured by commercial real estate, commercial non-mortgage
business loans, and consumer loans. These funds are also used to purchase
mortgage-backed and related securities ("MBS"), U.S. Government Agency
obligations, municipal bonds, and other permissible investments.
At
June 30, 2015, the Company had total assets of $1.3 billion, total deposits of
$1.1
billion and stockholders' equity of $132.6 million. The Company has not
engaged in any significant activity other than holding the stock of the Bank.
Accordingly, the information set forth in this report, including financial
statements and related data, relates primarily to the Bank. The Company's
revenues are derived principally from interest earned on loans, debt securities,
MBS, CMOs and, to a lesser extent, banking service charges, bank card
interchange fees, loan late charges, increases in the cash surrender value of
bank owned life insurance, and other fee income.
Acquisitions
On
August 5, 2014, the Company completed its acquisition of Peoples Service Company
(PSC) and its subsidiaries, Peoples Banking Company (PBC) and Peoples Bank of
the Ozarks (Peoples), Nixa, Missouri (the "Peoples Acquisition"). Peoples was
merged into the Company's bank subsidiary, Southern Bank, in early December,
2014, in connection with the conversion of Peoples' data system. The Company
acquired Peoples primarily for the purpose of conducting commercial banking
activities in markets where it believes the Company's business model will
perform well, and for the long-term value of its core deposit franchise. Notes
payable of $2.9 million were contractually required to be repaid on the date of
acquisition. The goodwill of $3.0 million arising from the acquisition consists
largely of synergies and economies of scale expected from combining the
operations of the Company and Peoples. Total goodwill was assigned to the
acquisition of the bank holding company.
The
Company completed its acquisition of Ozarks Legacy Community Financial, Inc.
(Ozarks Legacy), and its subsidiary, Bank of Thayer, headquartered in Thayer,
Missouri, in October 2013. At closing, Ozarks Legacy had total assets of
approximately $81 million, loans, net, of $38 million, and deposits of $68
million. The Company completed its acquisition of Citizens State Bankshares of
Bald Knob, Inc. (Citizens), and its subsidiary, Citizens State Bank,
headquartered in Bald Knob, Arkansas, in February 2014. At closing, Citizens had
total assets of
2
approximately
$72 million, loans, net, of $12 million, and deposits of $64 million. (The
Ozarks Legacy and Citizens acquisitions are referred to as the "Fiscal 2014
Acquisitions" collectively.)
On
December 17, 2010, the Bank entered into a Purchase and Assumption Agreement
with the FDIC, as receiver, to acquire certain assets and assume certain
liabilities of the former First Southern Bank, with headquarters in Batesville,
Arkansas, and one branch location in Searcy, Arkansas (the "Fiscal 2011
Acquisition"). As a result of the transaction, the Company acquired loans
recorded at a fair value of $114.6 million and deposits recorded at a fair value
of $130.8 million, at December 17, 2010.
Capital
Raising Transactions
On
November 22, 2011, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of
1,150,000 shares of common stock at a price to the public of $19.00 per share,
for aggregate gross proceeds of $21.9 million. The proceeds from the offering
have been used for general corporate purposes, including the funding of loan
growth and the purchase of securities.
On
July 21, 2011, as part of the U.S. Treasury's Small Business Lending Fund
("SBLF") program, the Company entered into a Small Business Lending
Fund-Securities Purchase Agreement ("SBLF Purchase Agreement") with the
Secretary of the Treasury, pursuant to which the Company (i) sold 20,000 shares
of the Company's Senior Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A (the
"SBLF Preferred Stock") to the Secretary of the Treasury for a purchase price of
$20,000,000. The SBLF program is a $30 billion fund established under the
Small Business Jobs Act of 2010 that was created to encourage lending to small
business by providing capital to qualified community banks with assets of less
than $10 billion.
The
SBLF Preferred Stock qualifies as Tier 1 capital. The SBLF Preferred Stock
is entitled to receive non-cumulative dividends, payable quarterly, on each
January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1, beginning
October 1, 2011. The dividend rate, as a percentage of the liquidation
amount, fluctuated on a quarterly basis during the first ten quarters
during which the SBLF Preferred Stock was outstanding, based upon changes in the
level of "Qualified Small Business Lending" or "QSBL" (as defined in the SBLF
Purchase Agreement) by the Bank. Based upon the increase in the Bank's
level of QSBL over the baseline level calculated under the terms of the Purchase
Agreement, the dividend rate ranged from 1.0% to 3.9% during the first through
the tenth calendar quarters since the SBLF issuance, adjusted to reflect the
amount of change in the Bank's level of QBSL. For the tenth calendar
quarter through four and one half years after issuance, the dividend rate will
be fixed at one percent (1%), based upon the increase in QSBL as of September
30, 2013, as compared to the baseline. After four and one half years from
issuance, the dividend rate will increase to 9% (including a quarterly lending
incentive fee of 0.5%).
The
SBLF Preferred Stock is non-voting, except in limited circumstances. In the
event that the Company misses five dividend payments, whether or not
consecutive, the holder of the SBLF Preferred Stock will have the right, but not
the obligation, to appoint a representative as an observer on the Company's
Board of Directors. In the event that the Company misses six dividend
payments, whether or not consecutive, and if the then outstanding aggregate
liquidation amount of the SBLF Preferred Stock is at least $20,000,000, then the
holder of the SBLF Preferred Stock will have the right to designate two
directors to the Board of Directors of the Company. The SBLF Preferred Stock may
be redeemed at any time at the Company's option, at a redemption price of 100%
of the liquidation amount plus accrued but unpaid dividends to the date of
redemption for the current period, subject to the approval of its federal
banking regulator.
As
required by the SBLF Purchase Agreement, $9,635,000 of the proceeds from the
sale of the SBLF Preferred Stock was used to redeem the 9,550 shares of the
Company's Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A issued in
2008 to the Treasury in the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP), plus the
accrued dividends owed on those preferred shares. As part of the 2008 TARP
transaction, the Company had issued a ten-year warrant to Treasury to purchase
228,652 shares (split-adjusted) of the Company's common stock at an exercise
price (split-adjusted) of $6.27 per share. The Company repurchased the
warrant on May 29, 2015, for $2.7 million. Immediately prior to repurchase, the
warrant had been exercisable for the purchase of 231,891 shares (split-adjusted)
at an exercise price of $6.18 per share.

Forward
Looking Statements
This
document contains statements about the Company and its subsidiaries which we
believe are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements
include, without limitation, statements with respect to anticipated future
operating and financial performance, growth opportunities, interest rates, cost
savings and funding advantages expected or anticipated to be realized by
management. Words such as "may," "could," "should," "would," "believe,"
"anticipate," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "plan" and similar expressions are
intended to identify these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking
statements by the Company and its management are based on beliefs, plans,
objectives, goals, expectations, anticipations, estimates and the intentions of
management and are not guarantees of future performance. The Company disclaims
any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements based on the
occurrence of future events, the receipt of new information, or otherwise. The
important factors we discuss below, as well as other factors discussed in this
report under the captions "Risk Factors" and "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and identified in our
other filings with the SEC and those presented elsewhere by our management from
time to time, could cause actual results to differ materially from those
indicated by the forward-looking statements made in this document:
· | expected cost savings, synergies and other benefits from our merger and acquisition activities, including our acquisition of Peoples Service Company and our other recently completed acquisitions, might not be realized within the anticipated time frames or at all, and costs or difficulties relating to integration matters, including but not limited to customer and employee retention, might be greater than expected; |
· | the strength of the United States economy in general and the strength of the local economies in which we conduct operations; |
· | fluctuations in interest rates and in real estate values; |
· | monetary and fiscal policies of the FRB and the U.S. Government and other governmental initiatives affecting the financial services industry; |
· | the risks of lending and investing activities, including changes in the level and direction of loan delinquencies and write-offs and changes in estimates of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses; |
· | our ability to access cost-effective funding; |
· | the timely development of and acceptance of our new products and services and the perceived overall value of these products and services by users, including the features, pricing and quality compared to competitors' products and services; |
· | fluctuations in real estate values and both residential and commercial real estate market conditions; |
· | demand for loans and deposits; |
· | legislative or regulatory changes that adversely affect our business; |
· | results of regulatory examinations, including the possibility that a regulator may, among other things, require an increase in our reserve for loan losses or write-down of assets; |
· | the impact of technological changes; and |
· | our success at managing the risks involved in the foregoing. |
The
Company disclaims any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking
statements based on the occurrence of future events, the receipt of new
information, or otherwise.

Market
Area
The
Bank provides its customers with a full array of community banking services and
conducts its business from its headquarters in Poplar Bluff, 31 additional full
service offices, and three limited service offices located in Poplar Bluff (3),
Van Buren, Dexter, Kennett, Doniphan, Sikeston, Qulin, Matthews, Springfield
(3), Thayer (2), West Plains, Alton, Clever, Forsyth, Fremont Hills, Kimberling
City, Ozark, Nixa (2), and Rogersville, Missouri, and Jonesboro (2), Paragould,
Brookland, Batesville, Searcy, Bald Knob (2) and Bradford, Arkansas.
The
Bank's primary market area includes eight southeast and south-central Missouri
counties where the Bank operates 15 facilities, with one facility located in a
municipality that straddles a county line and is mostly situated in a ninth
county. Those nine counties (Butler, Carter, Dunklin, Howell, New Madrid,
Oregon, Ripley, Scott, and Stoddard) have a population of roughly 234,000
persons. In northeast and north-central Arkansas, the Bank's nine facilities are
located in four counties (Craighead, Greene, Independence, and White) with a
population of roughly 260,000 persons – this area includes the Jonesboro,
Arkansas, Metropolitan Statistical Area, with a population of 126,000. In
southwest Missouri, our eleven facilities are located in five counties with a
population of approximately 486,000, including the Springfield, Missouri,
Metropolitan Statistical Area, with a population of roughly 449,000. The Bank
also serves a few communities just outside these county borders, but without a
notable impact on the demographics of the market area. The Bank's southeast
Missouri and northeast and north central Arkansas markets are primarily rural in
nature with economies supported by manufacturing activity, agriculture
(livestock, rice, timber, soybeans, wheat, melons, corn, and cotton),
healthcare, and education. Large employers include hospitals, manufacturers,
school districts, and colleges. In the southwest Missouri market, major
employers include healthcare providers, educational institutions, federal,
local, and state government, retailers, transportation and distribution firms,
and leisure, entertainment, and hospitality interests. For purposes of the
Bank's lending policy, the Bank's primary lending area is considered to be
counties where the Bank has a branch facility, and any contiguous county.
Competition
The
Bank faces strong competition in attracting deposits (its primary source of
lendable funds) and originating loans. At June 30, 2015, the Bank was one of 29
bank or saving association groups located in its southeast and south-central
Missouri market area, one of 21 bank or saving association groups located in its
northeast and north-central Arkansas market area (four of these overlap with the
southeast and south-central Missouri market area), and one of 40 bank or savings
association groups located in its southwest Missouri markets (twelve of these
overlap with the Arkansas or other Missouri market areas).
Competitors
for deposits include commercial banks, credit unions, money market funds, and
other investment alternatives, such as mutual funds, full service and discount
broker-dealers, equity markets, brokerage accounts and government securities.
The Bank's competition for loans comes principally from other financial
institutions, mortgage banking companies, mortgage brokers and life insurance
companies. The Bank expects competition to continue to increase in the future as
a result of legislative, regulatory and technological changes within the
financial services industry. Technological advances, for example, have lowered
barriers to market entry, allowed banks to expand their geographic reach by
providing services over the Internet and made it possible for non-depository
institutions to offer products and services that traditionally have been
provided by banks. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, which permits affiliation among
banks, securities firms and insurance companies, also has changed the
competitive environment in which the Bank conducts business.

Lending
Activities
General.
The Bank's lending activities consist of origination of loans secured by
mortgages on one- to four-family and multifamily residential real estate,
commercial and agricultural real estate, construction loans on
5
residential
and commercial properties, commercial and agricultural business loans and
consumer loans. The Bank has also occasionally purchased loan participation
interests originated by other lenders and secured by properties generally
located in the States of Missouri or Arkansas.
Supervision
of the loan portfolio is the responsibility of our Chief Lending Officer. Loan
officers have varying amounts of lending authority depending upon experience and
types of loans. Loans beyond their authority are presented to the next level of
authority, which may include the Commercial Loan Committee or the Agricultural
Loan Committee. The Commercial Loan Committee consists of several senior lending
officers of the Bank and is responsible for approving commercial lending
relationships up to $2.0 million The Agricultural Loan Committee consists of
several senior lending officers of the Bank and is responsible for approving
agricultural lending relationships of up to $2.0 million. Loan requests above
these approval authorities are presented to the Senior Loan Committee, comprised
of our President/Chief Executive Officer, Chief Lending Officer, and Chief
Credit Officer, along with various appointed loan officers. Loans to one
borrower (or group of related borrowers), in the aggregate, in excess of $2.5
million require the approval of a majority of the Discount Committee, which
consists of all Bank directors, prior to the closing of the loan. All loans are
subject to ratification by the full Board of Directors.
The
aggregate amount of loans that the Bank is permitted to make under applicable
federal regulations to any one borrower, including related entities, or the
aggregate amount that the Bank could have invested in any one real estate
project, is based on the Bank's capital levels. See "Regulation - Loans to One
Borrower." At June 30, 2015, the maximum amount which the Bank could lend to any
one borrower and the borrower's related entities was approximately $37.9
million. At June 30, 2015, the Bank's ten largest credit relationships, as
defined by loan to one borrower limitations, ranged from $12.1 million to $16.4
million, net of participation interests sold. As of June 30, 2015, the majority
of these credits were commercial real estate, multi-family real estate, or
commercial business loans, and all of them were performing in accordance with
their terms.

Residential
Mortgage Lending. The Bank actively originates loans for the acquisition
or refinance of one- to four-family residences. These loans are originated as a
result of customer and real estate agent referrals, existing and walk-in
customers and from responses to the Bank's marketing campaigns. At June 30,
2015, residential loans secured by one- to four-family residences totaled $316.8
million, or 30.1% of net loans receivable.
The
Bank currently offers both fixed-rate and adjustable-rate mortgage ("ARM")
loans. During the year ended June 30, 2015, the Bank originated $32.0 million of
ARM loans and $18.4 million of fixed-rate loans that were secured by one- to
four-family residences, for retention in the Bank's portfolio. An additional
$16.6 million in fixed-rate one- to four-family residential loans were
originated for sale on the secondary market. Substantially all of the one- to
four-family residential mortgage originations in the Bank's portfolio are
located within the Bank's primary market area.
The
Bank generally originates one- to four-family residential mortgage loans in
amounts up to 90% of the lower of the purchase price or appraised value of
residential property. For loans originated in excess of 80%, the Bank charges an
additional 50-75 basis points, but does not require private mortgage
insurance. At June 30, 2015, the remaining balance of loans originated
with a loan-to-value ratio in excess of 80% was $72.7 million. For fiscal years
ended June 30, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012 and 2011, originations of one- to
four-family loans in excess of 80% loan-to-value have totaled $24.3 million,
$13.6 million, $13.8 million, $12.7 million and $6.6 million, respectively, a
total of $71.0 million. The remaining balance of those loans at June 30, 2015,
was $46.9 million. Originating loans with higher loan-to-value ratios presents
additional credit risk to the Company. Consequently, the Company limits this
product to borrowers with a favorable credit history and a demonstrable ability
to service the debt. The majority of new residential mortgage loans originated
by the Bank conform to secondary market underwriting standards, however,
documentation of loan files may not be adequate to allow for immediate sale. The
interest rates charged on these loans are competitively priced based on local
market conditions, the availability of funding, and anticipated profit margins.
Fixed and ARM loans originated by the Bank are amortized over periods as long as
30 years, but typically are repaid over shorter periods.
Fixed-rate
loans secured by one- to four-family residences have contractual maturities up
to 30 years, and are generally fully amortizing with payments due monthly. These
loans normally remain outstanding for a substantially shorter period of time
because of refinancing and other prepayments. A significant change in the
interest rate environment can alter the average life of a residential loan
portfolio. The one- to four-family fixed-rate loans do not contain prepayment
penalties. At June 30, 2015, one- to four-family loans with a fixed rate totaled
$137.4 million, and had a weighted-average maturity of 123 months.
The
Bank currently originates one- to four-family adjustable rate mortgage ("ARM")
loans, which adjust annually, after an initial period of one, three, five, or
seven years. Typically, originated ARM loans secured by owner occupied
properties reprice at a margin of 2.75% to 3.00% over the weekly average yield
on United States Treasury securities adjusted to a constant maturity of one year
("CMT"). Generally, ARM loans secured by non-owner occupied residential
properties reprice at a margin of 3.75% over the CMT index. Current residential
ARM loan originations are subject to annual and lifetime interest rate caps and
floors. As a consequence of using interest rate caps, initial rates which may be
at a premium or discount, and a "CMT" loan index, the interest earned on the
Bank's ARMs will react differently to changing interest rates than the Bank's
cost of funds. At June 30, 2015, one- to four-family loans tied to the CMT index
totaled $130.3 million. One- to four-family loans tied to other indices totaled
$13.3 million.
In
underwriting one- to four-family residential real estate loans, the Bank
evaluates the borrower's ability to meet debt service requirements at current as
well as fully indexed rates for ARM loans, as well as the value of the property
securing the loan. Most properties securing real estate loans made by the Bank
during fiscal 2015 had appraisals performed on them by independent fee
appraisers approved and qualified by the Board of Directors. The Bank generally
requires borrowers to obtain title insurance and fire, property and flood
insurance (if indicated) in an amount not less than the amount of the loan. Real
estate loans originated by the Bank generally contain a "due on sale" clause
allowing the Bank to declare the unpaid principal balance due and payable upon
the sale of the security property.
The
Company also originates loans secured by multi-family residential properties
that are often located outside the Company's primary market area, but made to
borrowers who operate within the primary market area. At June 30, 2015, the Bank
had $118.2 million, or 11.2% of net loans receivable, in multi-family
residential real estate. The majority of the multi-family residential loans that
are originated by the Bank are amortized over periods generally up to 25 years,
with balloon maturities up to ten years. Both fixed and adjustable interest
rates are offered
9
and
it is typical for the Company to include an interest rate "floor" and "ceiling"
in these loan agreements. Variable rate loans typically adjust daily, monthly,
quarterly or annually based on the Wall Street prime interest rate. Generally,
multi-family residential loans do not exceed 85% of the lower of the appraised
value or purchase price of the secured property. The Company generally
requires a Board-approved independent certified fee appraiser to be engaged in
determining the collateral value. As a general rule, the Company requires the
unlimited guaranty of all individuals (or entities) owning (directly or
indirectly) 20% or more of the stock of the borrowing entity.
The
primary risk associated with multifamily loans is the ability of the
income-producing property that collateralizes the loan to produce adequate cash
flow to service the debt. High unemployment or generally weak economic
conditions may result in borrowers having to provide rental rate concessions to
achieve adequate occupancy rates. In an effort to reduce these risks, the Bank
will evaluate the guarantor's ability to inject personal funds as a tertiary
source of repayment.
Commercial
Real Estate Lending. The Bank actively originates loans secured by
commercial real estate including land (improved and unimproved), strip shopping
centers, retail establishments, nursing homes or other healthcare related
facilities, and other businesses generally located in the Bank's primary market
area. At June 30, 2015, the Bank had $404.7 million in commercial real estate
loans, which represented 38.4% of net loans receivable. Of this amount, $82.0
million were loans secured by agricultural properties. The increase over the
last several fiscal years in agricultural lending is the result of an
intentional focus by the Bank on that segment of our market, including the
hiring of personnel with knowledge of agricultural lending and experience in
that type of business development. The Company expects to continue to grow its
agricultural lending portfolio, but expects that the rate of growth experienced
over the last several fiscal years is unlikely to be maintained. The Company
expects to continue to maintain or increase the percentage of commercial real
estate loans in its total portfolio.
Most
commercial real estate loans originated by the Bank generally are based on
amortization schedules of up to 20 years with monthly principal and interest
payments. Generally, these loans have fixed interest rates and maturities
ranging up to five years, with a balloon payment due at maturity. Alternatively,
for some loans, the interest rate adjusts at least annually after an initial
period up to five years, based upon the Wall Street prime rate. The Bank
typically includes an interest rate "floor" in the loan agreement. The Bank's
fixed-rate commercial real estate portfolio has a weighted average maturity of
36 months. Variable rate commercial real estate originations typically adjust
daily, monthly, quarterly or annually based on the Wall Street prime rate.
Generally, improved commercial real estate loan amounts do not exceed 80% of the
lower of the appraised value or the purchase price of the secured property.
Agricultural real estate terms offered differ slightly, with amortization
schedules of up to 25 years with an 80% loan-to-value ratio, or 30 years with a
75% loan-to-value ratio. Agricultural real estate loans generally require
an annual payment. Before credit is extended, the Bank analyzes the financial
condition of the borrower, the borrower's credit history, and the reliability
and predictability of the cash flow generated by the property and the value of
the property itself. Generally, personal guarantees are obtained from the
borrower in addition to obtaining the secured property as collateral for such
loans. The Bank also generally requires appraisals on properties securing
commercial real estate to be performed by a Board-approved independent certified
fee appraiser.
Generally,
loans secured by commercial real estate involve a greater degree of credit risk
than one- to four-family residential mortgage loans. These loans typically
involve large balances to single borrowers or groups of related borrowers.
Because payments on loans secured by commercial real estate are often dependent
on the successful operation or management of the secured property, repayment of
such loans may be subject to adverse conditions in the real estate market or the
economy. See "Asset Quality."
Construction
Lending. The Bank originates real estate loans secured by property or
land that is under construction or development. At June 30, 2015, the Bank had
$69.2 million, or 6.6% of net loans receivable in construction loans
outstanding.
Construction
loans originated by the Bank are generally secured by mortgage loans for the
construction of owner occupied residential real estate or to finance speculative
construction secured by residential real estate, land development, or
owner-operated or non-owner occupied commercial real estate. At June 30, 2015,
$36.3 million of the Bank's construction loans were secured by one- to
four-family residential real estate (of which $6.7 million was for speculative
construction), $21.2 million of which were secured by multi-family residential
real estate, and $11.7 million of which were secured by commercial real estate.
During construction, these loans typically require monthly interest-only
payments and have maturities ranging from 6 to 12 months. Once construction is
completed, permanent
10
construction
loans may be converted to monthly payments using amortization schedules of up to
30 years on residential and generally up to 20 years on commercial real
estate.
Speculative
construction and land development lending generally affords the Bank an
opportunity to receive higher interest rates and fees with shorter terms to
maturity than those obtainable from residential lending. Nevertheless,
construction and land development lending is generally considered to involve a
higher level of credit risk than one- to four-family residential lending due to
(i) the concentration of principal among relatively few borrowers and
development projects, (ii) the increased difficulty at the time the loan is made
of accurately estimating building or development costs and the selling price of
the finished product, (iii) the increased difficulty and costs of monitoring and
disbursing funds for the loan, (iv) the higher degree of sensitivity to
increases in market rates of interest and changes in local economic conditions,
and (v) the increased difficulty of working out problem loans. Due in part to
these risk factors, the Bank may be required from time to time to modify or
extend the terms of some of these types of loans. In an effort to reduce these
risks, the application process includes a submission to the Bank of accurate
plans, specifications and costs of the project to be constructed. These items
are also used as a basis to determine the appraised value of the subject
property. Loan amounts are generally limited to 80% of the lesser of current
appraised value and/or the cost of construction.
Consumer
Lending. The Bank offers a variety of secured consumer loans, including
home equity, direct and indirect automobile loans, second mortgages, mobile
homes and loans secured by deposits. The Bank originates substantially all of
its consumer loans in its primary market area. Usually, consumer loans are
originated with fixed rates for terms of up to five years, with the exception of
home equity lines of credit, which are variable, tied to the prime rate of
interest, and are for a period of ten years. At June 30, 2015, the Bank's
consumer loan portfolio totaled $46.8 million, or 4.44% of net loans
receivable.
Home
equity loans represented 50.9% of the Bank's consumer loan portfolio at June 30,
2015, and totaled $23.5 million, or 2.23% of net loans receivable.
Home
equity lines of credit (HELOCs) are secured with a deed of trust and are issued
up to 100% of the appraised or assessed value of the property securing the line
of credit, less the outstanding balance on the first mortgage. Interest rates on
the HELOCs are adjustable and are tied to the current prime interest rate,
generally with an interest rate floor in the loan agreement. This rate is
obtained from the Wall Street Journal and adjusts on a daily basis. Interest
rates are based upon the loan-to-value ratio of the property with better rates
given to borrowers with more equity. HELOCs, which are secured by residential
properties, are secured by stronger collateral than automobile loans and because
of the adjustable rate structure, contain less interest rate risk to the Bank.
Lending up to 100% of the value of the property presents greater credit risk to
the Bank. Consequently, the Bank limits this product to customers with a
favorable credit history. At June 30, 2015, lines of credit up to 80% of the
property value represented 87.4% of outstanding balances, and 89.0% of balances
and commitments; lines of credit for more than 80%, but not exceeding 90%, of
the property value represented 12.5% of outstanding balances and 11.0% of
balances and commitments; and lines of credit in excess of 90% of the property
value represented 0.1% of outstanding balances and 0.1% of balances and
commitments.
Automobile
loans represented 13.5% of the Bank's consumer loan portfolio at June 30, 2015,
and totaled $6.3 million, or 0.60% of net loans receivable. Of that total, an
immaterial amount was originated by auto dealers. Typically, automobile loans
are made for terms of up to 60 months for new and used vehicles. Loans secured
by automobiles have fixed rates and are generally made in amounts up to 100% of
the purchase price of the vehicle.
Consumer
loan terms vary according to the type and value of collateral, length of
contract and creditworthiness of the borrower. The underwriting standards
employed for consumer loans include employment stability, an application, a
determination of the applicant's payment history on other debts, and an
assessment of ability to meet existing and proposed obligations. Although
creditworthiness of the applicant is a primary consideration, the underwriting
process also includes a comparison of the value of the security, if any, in
relation to the proposed loan amount.
Consumer
loans may entail greater credit risk than do residential mortgage loans, because
they are generally unsecured or are secured by rapidly depreciable or mobile
assets, such as automobiles. In the event of repossession or default, there may
be no secondary source of repayment or the underlying value of the collateral
could be insufficient to repay the loan. In addition, consumer loan collections
are dependent on the borrower's continuing financial stability, and thus are
more likely to be affected by adverse personal circumstances. Furthermore, the
application of various federal and state laws, including bankruptcy and
insolvency laws, may limit
11
the
amount which can be recovered on such loans. The Bank's delinquency levels for
these types of loans are reflective of these risks. See "Asset
Classification."
Commercial
Business Lending. The Bank's commercial business lending activities
encompass loans with a variety of purposes and security, including loans to
finance accounts receivable, inventory, equipment and operating lines of credit.
At June 30, 2015, the Bank had $191.9 million in commercial business loans
outstanding, or 18.2% of net loans receivable. Of this amount, $57.9 million
were loans related to agriculture, including amortizing equipment loans and
annual production lines. The increase over the last several fiscal years in
agricultural lending is the result of an intentional focus by the Bank on that
segment of our market, including the hiring of personnel with knowledge of
agricultural lending and experience in that type of business development. The
Company expects to continue to grow its agricultural lending portfolio, but
expects that the rate of growth experienced over the last several fiscal years
is unlikely to be maintained. The Bank expects to continue to maintain the
current percentage of commercial business loans in its total loan
portfolio.
The
Bank currently offers both fixed and adjustable rate commercial business loans.
At year end, the Bank had $127.2 million in fixed rate and $64.9 million of
adjustable rate commercial business loans. The adjustable rate business loans
typically reprice daily, monthly, quarterly, or annually, in accordance with the
Wall Street prime rate of interest. The Bank typically includes an interest rate
"floor" in the loan agreement.
Commercial
business loan terms vary according to the type and value of collateral, length
of contract and creditworthiness of the borrower. Generally, commercial loans
secured by fixed assets are amortized over periods up to five years, while
commercial operating lines of credit or agricultural production lines are
generally for a one year period. The Bank's commercial business loans are
evaluated based on the loan application, a determination of the applicant's
payment history on other debts, business stability and an assessment of ability
to meet existing obligations and payments on the proposed loan. Although
creditworthiness of the applicant is a primary consideration, the underwriting
process also includes a comparison of the value of the security, if any, in
relation to the proposed loan amount.
Unlike
residential mortgage loans, which generally are made on the basis of the
borrower's ability to make repayment from his or her employment and other
income, and which are secured by real property whose value tends to be more
easily ascertainable, commercial business loans are of higher risk and typically
are made on the basis of the borrower's ability to make repayment from the cash
flow of the borrower's business. As a result, the availability of funds for the
repayment of commercial business loans may be substantially dependent on the
success of the business itself. Further, the collateral securing the loans may
depreciate over time, may be difficult to appraise and may fluctuate in value
based on the success of the business.

As
of June 30, 2015, loans with a maturity date after June 30, 2016 with fixed
interest rates totaled $468.8 million, and loans with a maturity date after June
30, 2016 with adjustable rates totaled $318.7 million.
Loan
Originations, Sales and Purchases
Generally,
all loans are originated by the Bank's staff, who are salaried loan officers.
Loan applications are generally taken and processed at each of the Bank's
full-service locations, and the Bank recently began processing online
applications for single-family residential loans. The Bank also offers secondary
market loans to its customers.
While
the Bank originates both adjustable-rate and fixed-rate loans, the ability to
originate loans is dependent upon the relative customer demand for loans in its
market. In fiscal 2015, the Bank originated $391.2 million of loans, compared to
$289.7 million and $250.2 million, respectively, in fiscal 2014 and 2013,
respectively. Of these loans, mortgage loan originations were $276.0 million,
$226.2 million and $192.4 million, respectively, in fiscal 2015, 2014 and
2013. Increases in originations over recent periods is attributed
primarily to an expanded market area and customer base following recent
acquisitions.
From
time to time, the Bank has purchased loan participations consistent with its
loan underwriting standards. In fiscal 2015, the Bank purchased $7.7 million of
new loan participations. At June 30, 2015, loan participations totaled $14.1
million, or 1.34% of net loans receivable. At June 30, 2015, all of these
participations were performing in accordance to their respective terms. The Bank
evaluates additional loan participations on an ongoing basis, based in part on
local loan demand, liquidity, portfolio and capital levels.

(1) | Amount reported in fiscal 2015 includes the Company's acquisition of loans from the Peoples acquisition recorded at a $190.4 million fair value, and in fiscal 2014 includes the Company's acquisition of loans from the Ozark Legacy acquisition and the Citizens acquisition recorded at $39.4 million and $12.0 million fair value, respectively. |
Loan
Commitments
The
Bank issues commitments for one- to four-family residential mortgage loans,
operating or working capital lines of credit, and standby letters-of-credit.
Such commitments may be oral or in writing with specified terms, conditions and
at a specified rate of interest. The Bank had outstanding net loan commitments
of approximately $130.6 million at June 30, 2015. See Note 15 of Notes to the
Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 8.
Loan
Fees
In
addition to interest earned on loans, the Bank receives income from fees in
connection with loan originations, loan modifications, late payments and for
miscellaneous services related to its loans. Income from these activities varies
from period to period depending upon the volume and type of loans made and
competitive conditions.
Asset
Quality
Delinquent
Loans. Generally, when a borrower fails to make a required payment on
mortgage or installment loans, the Bank begins the collection process by mailing
a computer generated notice to the customer. If the delinquency is not cured
promptly, the customer is contacted again by notice or telephone. After an
account secured by real estate becomes over 60 days past due, the Bank will
typically send a 30-day demand notice to the customer which, if not cured or
unless satisfactory arrangements have been made, will lead to foreclosure.
Foreclosure may not begin until the loan reaches 120 days delinquency in the
case of consumer residential loans. For consumer loans, the Missouri
Right-To-Cure Statute is followed, which requires issuance of specifically
worded notices at specific time intervals prior to repossession or further
collection efforts.

Non-Performing
Assets. The table below sets forth the amounts and categories of
non-performing assets in the Bank's loan portfolio. Loans are placed on
non-accrual status when the collection of principal and/or interest becomes
doubtful, and as a result, previously accrued interest income on the loan is
removed from current income. The Bank has no reserves for uncollected interest
and does not accrue interest on non-accrual loans. A loan may be transferred
back to accrual status once a satisfactory repayment history has been restored.
Foreclosed assets held for sale include assets acquired in settlement of loans
and are shown net of reserves.
For
information regarding accrual of interest on impaired loans, see Note 1 of Notes
to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 8.
The
Company generally treats loans acquired with impaired credit quality as an
accruing asset, despite reporting such loans as impaired, because these loans
are recorded at acquisition at fair value, which includes an accretable discount
which is recorded as interest income over the expected life of the
obligation.

At
June 30, 2015, troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) totaled $9.3 million, of
which $2.8 million was considered nonperforming and was included in the
nonaccrual loan total above. The remaining $6.5 million in TDRs have complied
with the modified terms for a reasonable period of time and are therefore
considered by the Company to be accrual status loans. At June 30, 2014, troubled
debt restructurings (TDRs) totaled $5.1 million, of which $300,000 was
considered nonperforming and was included in the nonaccrual loan total above. In
general, these loans were subject to classification as TDRs at June 30, 2015, on
the basis of guidance under ASU 2011-02, which indicates that the Company may
not consider the borrower's effective borrowing rate on the old debt immediately
before the restructuring in determining whether a concession has been
granted.
Nonperforming
loans increased primarily as a result of the Peoples Acquisition, which included
$1.7 million in nonperforming loans (at fair value). The migration in the
December 31, 2014, quarter to nonaccrual status of a previously-classified
purchased credit impaired relationship with a carrying value of $1.5 million at
June 30, 2015, accounted for the remainder of the increase.
Real
Estate Owned. Real estate properties acquired through foreclosure or by
deed in lieu of foreclosure are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value,
less estimated disposition costs. If fair value at the date of foreclosure is
lower than the balance of the related loan, the difference will be charged-off
to the allowance for loan losses at the time of transfer. Management
periodically updates real estate valuations and if the value declines, a
specific provision for losses on such property is established by a charge to
operations. At June 30, 2015, the Company's balance of real estate owned totaled
$4.4 million and included $800,000 residential and $3.6 million non-residential
properties. Real estate owned increased primarily as a result of the Peoples
Acquisition, which included $1.0 million in foreclosed real estate.
16
Asset
Classification. Applicable regulations require that each insured
institution review and classify its assets on a regular basis. In addition, in
connection with examinations of insured institutions, regulatory examiners have
authority to identify problem assets and, if appropriate, require them to be
classified. There are three classifications for problem assets: substandard,
doubtful and loss. Substandard assets must have one or more defined weaknesses
and are characterized by the distinct possibility that the insured institution
will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Doubtful assets
have the weaknesses of substandard assets with the additional characteristic
that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full on the basis of
currently existing facts, conditions and values questionable, and there is a
high possibility of loss. An asset classified loss is considered uncollectible
and of such little value that continuance as an asset of the institution is not
warranted. When an insured institution classifies problem assets as loss, it
charges off the balance of the assets. Assets which do not currently expose the
Bank to sufficient risk to warrant classification in one of the aforementioned
categories but possess weaknesses, may be designated as special mention. The
Bank's determination as to the classification of its assets and the amount of
its valuation allowances is subject to review by the FRB and the Missouri
Division of Finance, which can order the establishment of additional loss
allowances.
On
the basis of management's review of the assets of the Company, at June 30, 2015,
classified assets totaled $20.9 million, or 1.61% of total assets as compared to
$11.6 million, or 1.14% of total assets at June 30, 2014. The increase in
classified assets was attributable primarily to the Peoples Acquisition: at June
30, 2015, classified assets included $4.3 million in purchased credit impaired
loans obtained in the Peoples Acquisition, while foreclosed real estate balances
included $1.2 million attributable to the Peoples Acquisition. Of the
amount classified as of June 30, 2015, $20.9 million was considered substandard,
while none was considered doubtful or loss. Included in classified assets at
June 30, 2015, was one significant loan relationship with outstanding classified
balances of $1.6 million secured by commercial real estate, aircraft, and a
general business lien (an additional $3.4 million outstanding to this borrower
is not classified, due to a USDA guarantee); various other loans totaling $13.2
million (see Note 3 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained
in Item 8 for more information on classified loans); foreclosed real estate and
repossessed assets totaling $4.5 million; and all of the Company's investments
in pooled trust preferred securities, with a book value of $1.6 million.
Classified loans are so designated due to concerns regarding the borrower's
ability to generate sufficient cash flows to service the debt. The investments
in pooled trust preferred securities were classified due to concerns about the
ability of the pools to generate sufficient cash flows to service the debt. Two
of these securities, with a book value of $619,000, have previously deferred
interest payments, and another of these securities, with a book value of
$465,000, continues to defer interest payments as of June 30, 2015. Classified
loans totaling $3.7 million had been placed on nonaccrual status at June 30,
2015, of which $2.6 million were more than 30 days delinquent. Of the
remaining $11.1 million of classified loans, $10.7 million were performing in
accordance with terms at June 30, 2015, while $406,000 were more than 30 days
delinquent.
Other
Loans of Concern. In addition to the classified assets above, there was
also an aggregate of $6.0 million in loans, with respect to which management has
doubts as to the ability of the borrowers to continue to comply with present
loan repayment terms, which may ultimately result in the classification of such
assets. These loans continued to perform according to terms as of June 30, 2015,
but were identified as other loans of concern due to concerns regarding the
borrower's ability to continue to generate sufficient cash flows to service the
debt.
Allowance
for Loan Losses. The Bank's allowance for loan losses is established
through a provision for loan losses based on management's evaluation of the risk
inherent in the loan portfolio and changes in the nature and volume of loan
activity, including those loans which are being specifically monitored. Such
evaluation, which includes a review of loans for which full collectability may
not be reasonably assured, considers among other matters, the estimated fair
value of the underlying collateral, economic conditions, historical loan loss
experience and other factors that warrant recognition in providing for an
adequate provision for loan losses. These provisions for loan losses are charged
against earnings in the year they are established. The Bank had an allowance for
loan losses at June 30, 2015, of $12.3 million, which represented 148% of
nonperforming assets as compared to an allowance of $9.3 million, which
represented 212% of nonperforming assets at June 30, 2014.
At
June 30, 2015, the Bank also had an allowance for credit losses on off-balance
sheet credit exposures of $704,000, as compared to $596,000 at June 30, 2014.
This amount is maintained as a separate liability account to cover estimated
potential credit losses associated with off-balance sheet credit instruments
such as off-balance sheet loan commitments, standby letters of credit, and
guarantees.
Although
management believes that it uses the best information available to determine the
allowance, unforeseen market conditions could result in adjustments and net
earnings could be significantly affected if
17
circumstances
differ substantially from assumptions used in making the final determination.
Future additions to the allowance will likely be the result of periodic loan,
property and collateral reviews and thus cannot be predicted with certainty in
advance.
The
following table sets forth an analysis of the Bank's allowance for loan losses
for the periods indicated. Where specific loan loss reserves have been
established, any difference between the loss reserve and the amount of loss
realized has been charged or credited to current income.

Investment
Activities
General.
Under Missouri law, the Bank is permitted to invest in various types of
liquid assets, including U.S. Government and State of Missouri obligations,
securities of various federal agencies, certain certificates of deposit of
insured banks and savings institutions, banker's acceptances, repurchase
agreements, federal funds, commercial paper, investment grade corporate debt
securities and obligations of States and their political sub-divisions.
Generally, the investment policy of the Company is to invest funds among various
categories of investments and repricing characteristics based upon the Bank's
need for liquidity, to provide collateral for borrowings and public unit
deposits, to help reach financial performance targets and to help maintain
asset/liability management objectives.
The
Company's investment portfolio is managed in accordance with the Bank's
investment policy which was adopted by the Board of Directors of the Bank and is
implemented by members of the asset/liability management committee which
consists of the President/CEO, the CFO, the COO and four outside
directors.
Investment
purchases and/or sales must be authorized by the appropriate party, depending on
the aggregate size of the investment transaction, prior to any investment
transaction. The Board of Directors reviews all investment transactions. All
investment purchases are identified as available-for-sale ("AFS") at the time of
purchase. The Company has not classified any investment securities as
held-to-maturity over the last five years. Securities classified as "AFS" must
be reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, recorded
as a separate component of stockholders' equity. At June 30, 2015, AFS
securities totaled $129.6 million (excluding FHLB and Federal Reserve Bank
membership stock). For information regarding the amortized cost and market
values of the Company's investments, see Note 2 of Notes to the Consolidated
Financial Statements contained in Item 8.
In
the Peoples Acquisition, the Company acquired securities with a market value of
approximately $31.3 million.
As
of June 30, 2015, the Company had no derivative instruments and no outstanding
hedging activities. Management has reviewed potential uses for derivative
instruments and hedging activities, but has no immediate plans to employ these
tools.
Debt
and Other Securities. At June 30, 2015, the Company's debt and other
securities portfolio totaled $59.5 million, or 4.58% of total assets as compared
to $72.1 million, or 7.06% of total assets at June 30, 2014. During fiscal 2015,
the Bank had $6.2 million in maturities and $511,000 in security purchases
(purchases do not include the securities acquired in the Peoples Acquisition).
Of the securities that matured, $4.4 million was called for early redemption. At
June 30, 2015, the investment securities portfolio included $14.8 million in
U.S. government and government agency bonds, of which $10.8 million is subject
to early redemption at the option of the issuer, and $42.0 million in municipal
bonds, of which $37.9 million is subject to early redemption at the option of
the issuer. The remaining portfolio consists of $2.7 million in other securities
(including $1.1 million estimated fair value in pooled trust preferred
securities). Based on projected maturities, the weighted average life of the
debt and other securities portfolio at June 30, 2015, was 47 months. Membership
stock held in the FHLB of Des Moines, totaling $4.1 million, and the Federal
Reserve Bank of St. Louis, totaling $2.3 million, along with equity stock of
$475,000 in two independent banks, was not included in the above totals.
At
June 30, 2015, the Company owned four pooled trust preferred securities with a
fair value of $1.1 million and a book value of $1.6 million. The June 30, 2015,
cash flow analysis for three of these securities indicated it is probable the
Company will receive all contracted principal and related interest projected.
The cash flow analysis used in making this determination was based on
anticipated default, recovery, and prepayment rates, and the resulting cash
flows were discounted based on the yield anticipated at the time the securities
were purchased. At December 31, 2008, analysis of the fourth pooled
trust preferred security indicated other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) and
the Company performed further analysis to determine the portion of the loss that
was related to credit conditions of the underlying issuers. The credit loss was
calculated by comparing expected discounted cash flows based on performance
indicators of the underlying assets in the security to the carrying value of the
investment. The discounted cash flow was based on anticipated default and
recovery rates, and resulting projected cash flows were discounted based on the
yield anticipated at the time the security was purchased. Based on
this analysis, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $375,000 for the
credit portion of the unrealized loss for this trust preferred security in the
second quarter of fiscal 2009, establishing a new, lower amortized cost basis of
$125,000 for this security, and reduced non-interest income. At June 30,
2015, cash flow analyses showed
20
it
is probable the Company will receive all of the remaining cost basis and related
interest projected for the security. Analyses performed quarterly and at fiscal
year end in 2015 indicated no further impairment of any securities owned by the
Company. See Note 2 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained
in Item 8.
Mortgage-Backed
Securities. At June 30, 2015, mortgage-backed securities ("MBS") totaled
$70.1 million, or 5.4%, of total assets, as compared to $58.2 million, or 5.7%,
of total assets at June 30, 2014. During fiscal 2015, the Bank had maturities
and prepayments of $13.8 million and $2.0 million in purchases of MBS (purchases
do not include the Peoples Acquisition). At June 30, 2015, the MBS portfolio
included $59.5 million in fixed-rate MBS, and $10.6 million in fixed rate
collateralized mortgage obligations ("CMOs"), all of which passed the Federal
Financial Institutions Examination Council's sensitivity test. Based on
projected prepayment rates, the weighted average life of the MBS and CMOs at
June 30, 2015, was 48 months. Prepayment rates may cause the anticipated average
life of MBS portfolio to extend or shorten based upon actual prepayment
rates.

Deposit
Activities and Other Sources of Funds
General.
The Company's primary sources of funds are deposits, borrowings, payments
of principal and interest on loans, MBS and CMOs, interest and principal
received on investment securities and other short-term investments, and funds
provided from operating results. Loan repayments are a relatively stable source
of funds, while deposit inflows and outflows and loan prepayments are
significantly influenced by general market interest rates and overall economic
conditions.
Borrowings,
including FHLB advances, have been used at times to provide additional
liquidity. Borrowings are used on an overnight or short-term basis to compensate
for periodic fluctuations in cash flows, and are used on a longer term basis to
fund loan growth and to help manage the Company's sensitivity to fluctuating
interest rates.
Deposits.
The Bank's depositors are generally residents and entities located in the
State of Missouri or Arkansas. Deposits are attracted from within the Bank's
market area through the offering of a broad selection of deposit instruments,
including demand deposit accounts, negotiable order of withdrawal ("NOW")
accounts, money market deposit accounts, saving accounts, certificates of
deposit and retirement savings plans. Deposit account terms vary according to
the minimum balance required, the time periods the funds may remain on deposit
and the interest rate, among other factors. In determining the terms of its
deposit accounts, the Bank considers current market interest rates,
profitability to the Bank, managing interest rate sensitivity and its customer
preferences and concerns. The Bank's Asset/Liability Committee regularly reviews
its deposit mix and pricing.
The
Bank will periodically promote a particular deposit product as part of the
Bank's overall marketing plan. Deposit products have been promoted through
various mediums, which include radio and newspaper advertisements, as well as
"grassroots" marketing techniques, such as sponsorship of – or activity at –
community events. The emphasis of these campaigns is to increase consumer
awareness and market share of the Bank.
The
flow of deposits is influenced significantly by general economic conditions,
changes in prevailing interest rates, and competition. Based on its experience,
the Bank believes that its deposits are relatively stable sources of funds.
However, the ability of the Bank to attract and maintain certificates of
deposit, and the rates paid on these deposits, has been and will continue to be
significantly affected by market conditions. The following table depicts the
composition of the Bank's deposits as of June 30, 2015:

In
the unlikely event the Bank is liquidated, depositors will be entitled to
payment of their deposit accounts prior to any payment being made to the Company
as the sole stockholder of the Bank.
Borrowings.
As a member of the FHLB of Des Moines, the Bank has the ability to apply
for FHLB advances. These advances are available under various credit programs,
each of which has its own maturity, interest rate and repricing characteristics.
Additionally, FHLB advances have prepayment penalties as well as limitations on
size or term. In order to utilize FHLB advances, the Bank must be a member of
the FHLB system, have sufficient collateral to secure the requested advance and
own stock in the FHLB equal to 4.45% of the amount borrowed. See "REGULATION –
The Bank – Federal Home Loan Bank System."
Although
deposits are the Bank's primary and preferred source of funds, the Bank has
actively used FHLB advances. The Bank's general policy has been to utilize
borrowings to meet short-term liquidity needs, or to provide a longer-term
source of funding loan growth when other cheaper funding sources are unavailable
or to aide in asset/liability management. As of June 30, 2015, the Bank had
$64.8 million in FHLB advances, of which $23.5 million was overnight borrowings,
another $40.8 million had an original term of ten years, subject to early
redemption by the FHLB after an initial period of one to five years, and
$500,000 in fixed term borrowings. In order for the Bank to borrow from the
FHLB, it has pledged $525.5 million of its residential and commercial real
estate loans to the FHLB (although the actual collateral required for advances
taken and letters of credit issued amounts to $95.6 million) and has purchased
$4.1 million in FHLB stock. At June 30, 2015, the Bank had additional borrowing
capacity on its pledged residential and commercial real estate loans from the
FHLB of $307.4 million, as compared to $195.8 million at June 30, 2014.
Additionally,
the Bank is approved to borrow from the Federal Reserve Bank's discount window
on a primary credit basis. Primary credit is available to approved institutions
on a generally short-term basis at the "discount rate" set by the FOMC. The Bank
has pledged agricultural real estate and other loans to farmers as collateral
for any amounts borrowed through the discount window. As of June 30, 2015, the
Bank was approved to borrow up to $87.5 million through the discount window, but
no balance was outstanding.
Also
classified as borrowings are the Bank's securities sold under agreements to
repurchase ("repurchase agreements"). These agreements are typically entered
into with local public units or corporations. Generally, the Bank pays interest
on these agreements at a rate similar to those available on repurchase
agreements with wholesale funding sources, but in the current rate environment
the Bank is paying a rate slightly higher than the market for such funding. The
Bank views repurchase agreements with local entities as a stable funding source,
and collateral requirements relating to public units are somewhat easier to
manage using repurchase agreements. At June 30, 2015, the Bank had outstanding
$27.3 million in repurchase agreements, as compared to $25.6 million at June 30,
2014.
Southern
Missouri Statutory Trust I, a Delaware business trust subsidiary of the Company,
issued $7.0 million in Floating Rate Capital Securities (the "Trust Preferred
Securities") with a liquidation value of $1,000 per share in March, 2004. The
securities are due in 30 years, were redeemable after five years and bear
interest at a floating rate based on LIBOR. At June 30, 2015, the current rate
was 3.03%. The securities represent undivided beneficial interests in the trust,
which was established by Southern Missouri Bancorp for the purpose of issuing
the securities. The Trust Preferred Securities were sold in a private
transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Act") and have not been registered under the Act. The securities
may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an
applicable exemption from registration requirements.
Southern
Missouri Statutory Trust I used the proceeds of the sale of the Trust Preferred
Securities to purchase Junior Subordinated Debentures of Southern Missouri
Bancorp. Southern Missouri Bancorp is using the net proceeds for working capital
and investment in its subsidiaries. Trust Preferred Securities currently qualify
as
27
Tier
I Capital for regulatory purposes. See "Regulation" for further discussion on
the treatment of the trust-preferred securities.
In
its October 2013 acquisition of Ozarks Legacy, the Company assumed $3.1 million
in floating rate junior subordinated debt securities. The securities had been
issued in June 2005 by Ozarks Legacy in connection with the sale of trust
preferred securities, bear interest at a floating rate based on LIBOR, and
mature in 2035. At June 30, 2015, the current rate was 2.74%.
In
the Peoples Acquisition, the Company assumed $6.5 million in floating rate
junior subordinated debt securities. The debt securities had been issued in 2005
by PBC in connection with the sale of trust preferred securities, bear interest
at a floating rate based on LIBOR, are now redeemable at par, and mature in
2035. At June 30, 2015, the current rate was 2.09%

Subsidiary
Activities
The
Bank has one subsidiary, SMS Financial Services, Inc., which had no assets or
liabilities at June 30, 2015, and is currently inactive. The activities of the
subsidiary are not significant to the financial condition or results of the
Bank's operations.
28
REGULATION
The
following is a brief description of certain laws and regulations applicable to
the Company and the Bank. Descriptions of laws and regulations here and
elsewhere in this prospectus do not purport to be complete and are qualified in
their entirety by reference to the actual laws and regulations. Legislation is
introduced from time to time in the United States Congress or the Missouri state
legislature that may affect the operations of the Company and the Bank. In
addition, the regulations governing us may be amended from time to time. Any
such legislation or regulatory changes in the future could adversely affect our
operations and financial condition.
Recent
Legislation
The
Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the "Dodd-Frank Act")
imposed various restrictions and an expanded framework of regulatory oversight
for financial institutions, including depository institutions. The following
discussion summarizes significant aspects of the Dodd-Frank Act that may affect
the Bank and the Company.
The
following selected aspects of the Dodd-Frank Act are related to the operations
of the Bank:
· | The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ("CFPB"), an independent consumer compliance regulatory agency within the Federal Reserve has been established. The CFPB is empowered to exercise broad regulatory, supervisory and enforcement authority over financial institutions with total assets of over $10 billion with respect to both new and existing consumer financial protection laws. Financial institutions with assets of less than $10 billion, like the Bank, will continue to be subject to supervision and enforcement by their primary federal banking regulator with respect to federal consumer financial protection laws. The CFPB also has authority to promulgate new consumer financial protection regulations and amend existing consumer financial protection regulations; |
· | The Federal Deposit Insurance Act was amended to require depository institution holding companies to serve as a source of strength for their depository institution subsidiaries; |
· | The prohibition on payment of interest on demand deposits was repealed; |
· | Deposit insurance was permanently increased to $250,000; and |
· | The deposit insurance assessment base for FDIC insurance is the depository institution's average consolidated total assets less the average tangible equity during the assessment period; |
The
following aspects of the Dodd-Frank Act are related to the operations of the
Company:
· | Tier 1 capital treatment for "hybrid" capital items like trust preferred securities is eliminated subject to various grandfathering and transition rules. As required by the Act, the federal banking agencies have promulgated new rules on regulatory capital for both depository institutions and their holding companies; |
· | Public companies are required to provide their shareholders with a non-binding vote: (i) at least once every three years on the compensation paid to executive officers, and (ii) at least once every six years on whether they should have a "say on pay" vote every one, two or three years; |
· | A separate, non-binding shareholder vote is required regarding golden parachutes for named executive officers when a shareholder vote takes place on mergers, acquisitions, dispositions or other transactions that would trigger the parachute payments; |
· | Securities exchanges are required to prohibit brokers from using their own discretion to vote shares not beneficially owned by them for certain "significant" matters, which include votes on the election of directors, executive compensation matters, and any other matter determined to be significant; |
· | Stock exchanges are prohibited from listing the securities of any issuer that does not have a policy providing for (i) disclosure of its policy on incentive compensation payable on the basis of financial information reportable under the securities laws, and (ii) the recovery from current or former executive officers, following an accounting restatement triggered by material noncompliance with securities law reporting requirements, of any incentive compensation paid erroneously during the three-year period preceding the date on which the restatement was required that exceeds the amount that would have been paid on the basis of the restated financial information; |
29
· | Smaller reporting companies are exempt from complying with the internal control auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. |
The
Bank
General.
As a state-chartered, federally-insured trust company with banking
powers, the Bank is subject to extensive regulation. Lending activities and
other investments must comply with various statutory and regulatory
requirements, including prescribed minimum capital standards. The Bank is
regularly examined by the FRB and the Missouri Division of Finance and files
periodic reports concerning the Bank's activities and financial condition with
its regulators. The Bank's relationship with depositors and borrowers also is
regulated to a great extent by both federal law and the laws of Missouri,
especially in such matters as the ownership of deposit accounts and the form and
content of mortgage documents.
Federal
and state banking laws and regulations govern all areas of the operation of the
Bank, including reserves, loans, mortgages, capital, issuance of securities,
payment of dividends, and establishment of branches. Federal and state bank
regulatory agencies also have the general authority to limit the dividends paid
by insured banks and bank holding companies if such payments should be deemed to
constitute an unsafe and unsound practice. The respective primary federal
regulators of the Company and the Bank have authority to impose penalties,
initiate civil and administrative actions and take other steps intended to
prevent banks from engaging in unsafe or unsound practices.
State
Regulation and Supervision. As a state-chartered trust company with
banking powers, the Bank is subject to applicable provisions of Missouri law and
the regulations of the Missouri Division of Finance. Missouri law and
regulations govern the Bank's ability to take deposits and pay interest thereon,
to make loans on or invest in residential and other real estate, to make
consumer loans, to invest in securities, to offer various banking services to
its customers, and to establish branch offices.
Federal
Reserve System. The FRB requires all depository institutions to maintain
reserves at specified levels against their transaction accounts (checking, NOW
and Super NOW checking accounts). At June 30, 2015, the Bank was in compliance
with these reserve requirements.
The
Bank is authorized to borrow from the Federal Reserve Bank "discount window."
FRB regulations require associations to exhaust other reasonable alternative
sources of funds, including FHLB borrowings, before borrowing from the Federal
Reserve Bank.
Federal
Home Loan Bank System. The
Bank is a member of the FHLB of Des Moines, which is one of 11 regional FHLBs
that provide home financing credit. Each FHLB serves as a reserve or central
bank for its members within its assigned region. It is funded primarily from
proceeds derived from the sale of consolidated obligations of the FHLB System.
It makes loans or advances to members in accordance with policies and
procedures, established by the Board of Directors of the FHLB, which are subject
to the oversight of the Federal Housing Finance Agency. All advances from the
FHLB are required to be fully secured by sufficient collateral as determined by
the FHLB. In addition, all long-term advances are required to provide funds for
residential home financing. See Business - Deposit Activities and Other Sources
of Funds - Borrowings.
As
a member, the Bank is required to purchase and maintain stock in the FHLB of Des
Moines. At June 30, 2015, the Bank had $4.1 million in FHLB stock, which was in
compliance with this requirement. The Bank received $116,000 and $90,000 in
dividends from the FHLB of Des Moines for the years ended June 30, 2015 and
2014, respectively.
The
FHLBs continue to contribute to low- and moderately-priced housing programs
through direct loans or interest subsidies on advances targeted for community
investment and low- and moderate-income housing projects. These contributions
have adversely affected the level of FHLB dividends paid and could continue to
do so in the future. These contributions could also have an adverse effect on
the value of FHLB stock in the future. A reduction in value of the Bank's FHLB
stock may result in a corresponding reduction in the Bank's capital.
Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation.
The Bank's deposits are insured up to applicable limits by the Deposit Insurance
Fund of the FDIC. The general insurance limit is $250,000. As insurer, the FDIC
imposes deposit insurance premiums and is authorized to conduct examinations of
and to require reporting by FDIC-insured institutions. It also may prohibit any
FDIC-insured institution from engaging in any activity the FDIC determines by
30
regulation
or order to pose a serious risk to the fund. The FDIC also has the authority to
initiate enforcement actions against a member bank of the Federal Reserve Board
after giving the FRB an opportunity to take such action.
The
Dodd-Frank Act establishes 1.35% as the minimum reserve ratio. The FDIC has
adopted a plan under which it will meet this ratio by September 30, 2020, the
deadline imposed by the Dodd-Frank Act. The Dodd-Frank Act requires the FDIC to
offset the effect on institutions with assets less than $10 billion of the
increase in the statutory minimum reserve ratio to 1.35% from the former
statutory minimum of 1.15%. The FDIC has not yet announced how it will implement
this offset. Also, in June 2015, the FDIC sought comment on a proposal to revise
how banks with less than $10 billion in assets are assessed, in order to better
reflect the respective risk, relative to each other, that these institutions
pose to the fund. In addition to the statutory minimum ratio, the FDIC must
designate a reserve ratio, known as the designated reserve ratio or DRR, which
may exceed the statutory minimum. The FDIC has established 2.0% as the
DRR.
The
Dodd-Frank Act requires the FDIC's deposit insurance assessments to be based on
assets instead of deposits. The FDIC has issued rules which specify that the
assessment base for a bank is equal to its total average consolidated assets
less average tangible equity. The FDIC assessment rates range from approximately
2.5 basis points to 45 basis points, depending on applicable adjustments for
unsecured debt issued by an institution and brokered deposits (and to further
adjustment for institutions that hold unsecured debt of other FDIC-insured
institutions), until such time as the FDIC's reserve ratio equals 1.15%. Once
the FDIC's reserve ratio reaches 1.15% and the reserve ratio for the immediately
prior assessment period is less than 2.0%, the applicable assessment rates may
range from 1.5 basis points to 40 basis points (depending on adjustments as
described above). If the reserve ratio for the prior assessment period is equal
to, or greater than 2.0% and less than 2.5%, the assessment rates may range from
1.0 basis points to 38 basis points and if the reserve ratio for the prior
assessment period is greater than 2.5%, the assessment rates may range from 0.5
basis points to 35 basis points (in each case depending on adjustments as
described above). No institution may pay a dividend if it is in default on its
federal deposit insurance assessment.
A
significant increase in insurance premiums would likely have an adverse effect
on the operating expenses and results of operations of the Bank. There can be no
prediction as to what insurance assessment rates will be in the future.
Insurance of deposits may be terminated by the FDIC upon a finding that the
institution has engaged in unsafe or unsound practices, is in an unsafe or
unsound condition to continue operations or has violated any applicable law,
regulation, rule, order or condition imposed by the FDIC. Management of the Bank
is not aware of any practice, condition or violation that might lead to
termination of the Bank's deposit insurance.
In
addition to the assessment for deposit insurance, institutions are required to
make payments on bonds issued in the late 1980s by the Financing Corporation to
recapitalize a predecessor deposit insurance fund. This payment is established
quarterly and during the fourth quarter ended June 30, 2015, was 0.58 basis
points (annualized) of assessable deposits.
Prompt
Corrective Action. Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act ("FDIA"), each
federal banking agency is required to implement a system of prompt corrective
action for depository institutions that it regulates. The federal banking
agencies have promulgated substantially similar regulations to implement this
system of prompt corrective action. In connection with the capital rules
discussed under "Capital Rules" below, effective January 1, 2015, an institution
is deemed to be "well capitalized" if it has (i) a total risk-based capital
ratio of 10.0% or more, (ii) a common equity Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of
6.5% or more, (iii) a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 8.0% or more, and (iv)
a leverage ratio of 5.0% or more, and is not subject to specified requirements
to meet and maintain a specific capital level for any capital measure.
Additionally, an institution shall be deemed to be "adequately capitalized" if
it has (i) a total risk-based capital ratio of 8.0% or more, (ii) a common
equity Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 4.5% or more, (iii) a Tier 1
risk-based capital ratio of 6.0% or more, and (iv) a leverage ratio of 4.0% or
more and does not meet the definition of "well capitalized"
"undercapitalized" if it has (i) a total risk-based capital ratio that is less
than 8.0%, (ii) a common equity Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio that is less
than 4.5%, (iii) a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio that is less than 6.0%, or
(iv) a leverage ratio that is less than 4.0%; "significantly
undercapitalized" if it has (i) a total risk-based capital ratio that is less
than 6.0%, (ii) a common equity Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio that is less
than 3.0%, (iii) a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio that is less than 4.0%, or
(iv) a leverage ratio that is less than 3.0%; and "critically undercapitalized"
if it has a ratio of tangible equity to total assets that is equal to or less
than 2.0%.
A
federal banking agency may, after notice and an opportunity for a hearing,
reclassify a well capitalized institution as adequately capitalized and may
require an adequately capitalized institution or an undercapitalized institution
to comply with supervisory actions as if it were in the next lower category if
the institution is in an unsafe or unsound condition or has received in its most
recent examination, and has not corrected, a less than satisfactory
31
rating
for asset quality, management, earnings, liquidity or sensitivity to market
risk. (The agency may not, however, reclassify a significantly undercapitalized
institution as critically undercapitalized.) An institution that is not well
capitalized is subject to certain restrictions on its deposit rates.
An
undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, or critically undercapitalized
institution is required to submit an acceptable capital restoration plan to its
appropriate federal banking agency. The plan must specify (i) the steps the
institution will take to become adequately capitalized, (ii) the capital levels
to be attained each year, (iii) how the institution will comply with any
regulatory sanctions then in effect against the institution and (iv) the types
and levels of activities in which the institution will engage. The banking
agency may not accept a capital restoration plan unless the agency determines,
among other things, that the plan is based on realistic assumptions, and is
likely to succeed in restoring the institution's capital and would not
appreciably increase the risks to which the institution is exposed. An
institution that is not well capitalized is subject to restrictions on brokered
deposits.
The
FDIA provides that the appropriate federal regulatory agency must require an
insured depository institution that is significantly undercapitalized or is
undercapitalized and either fails to submit an acceptable capital restoration
plan within the time period allowed or fails in any material respect to
implement a capital restoration plan accepted by the appropriate federal banking
agency to take one or more of the following actions: (i) sell enough
shares, including voting shares, to become adequately capitalized; (ii) merge
with (or be sold to) another institution (or holding company), but only if
grounds exist for appointing a conservator or receiver; (iii) restrict certain
transactions with banking affiliates as if the "sister bank" requirements of
Section 23A of the Federal Reserve Act ("FRA") did not exist; (iv) otherwise
restrict transactions with bank or non-bank affiliates; (v) restrict interest
rates that the institution pays on deposits to "prevailing rates" in the
institution's region; (vi) restrict asset growth or reduce total assets; (vii)
alter, reduce or terminate activities; (viii) hold a new election of directors;
(ix) require dismissal of any director or senior executive officer who held
office for more than 180 days immediately before the institution became
undercapitalized; (x) require employment of qualified senior executive officers;
(xi) prohibit acceptance of deposits from correspondent depository institutions;
(xii) require divestiture of certain non-depository affiliates which pose a
danger to the institution; (xiii) be divested by a parent holding company; (xiv)
require prior FRB approval for payment of dividends by a bank holding company;
and (xv) take any other action which the FRB, in the case of a state member
bank, determines would better carry out the purposes of the prompt corrective
action provisions.
A
critically undercapitalized institution is subject to further restrictions and
to appointment of a receiver or conservator 90 days after becoming critically
undercapitalized unless the FDIC and, in the case of a state member Bank, the
FRB concur that other action better serves the purposes of the prompt corrective
action provisions.
At
June 30, 2015, the Bank was categorized as "well capitalized" under the prompt
corrective action regulations of the FRB.
Standards
for Safety and Soundness. The federal banking regulatory agencies have
prescribed, by regulation, standards for all insured depository institutions
relating to: (i) internal controls, information systems and internal audit
systems; (ii) loan documentation; (iii) credit underwriting; (iv) interest rate
risk exposure; (v) asset growth; (vi) asset quality; (vii) earnings; and (viii)
compensation, fees and benefits ("Guidelines"). The Guidelines set forth the
safety and soundness standards that the federal banking agencies use to identify
and address problems at insured depository institutions before capital becomes
impaired. If the FRB determines that the Bank fails to meet any standard
prescribed by the Guidelines, the agency may require the Bank to submit to the
agency an acceptable plan to achieve compliance with the standard.
Guidance
on Subprime Mortgage Lending. The federal banking agencies have issued
guidance on subprime mortgage lending to address issues related to certain
mortgage products marketed to subprime borrowers, particularly adjustable rate
mortgage products that can involve "payment shock" and other risky
characteristics. Although the guidance focuses on subprime borrowers, the
banking agencies note that institutions should look to the principles contained
in the guidance when offering such adjustable rate mortgages to non-subprime
borrowers. The guidance prohibits predatory lending programs; provides that
institutions should underwrite a mortgage loan on the borrower's ability to
repay the debt by its final maturity at the fully-indexed rate, assuming a fully
amortizing repayment schedule; encourages reasonable workout arrangements with
borrowers who are in default; mandates clear and balanced advertisements and
other communications; encourages arrangements for the escrowing of real estate
taxes and insurance; and states that institutions should develop strong control
and monitoring systems. The guidance recommends that institutions refer to the
Guidelines (discussed above) which provide underwriting standards for all real
estate loans.
32
The
federal banking agencies announced their intention to carefully review the risk
management and consumer compliance processes, policies and procedures of their
supervised financial institutions and their intention to take action against
institutions that engage in predatory lending practices, violate consumer
protection laws or fair lending laws, engage in unfair or deceptive acts or
practices, or otherwise engage in unsafe or unsound lending practices.
Guidance
on Commercial Real Estate Concentrations.
The federal banking agencies have issued guidance on sound risk
management practices for concentrations in commercial real estate lending. The
particular focus is on exposure to commercial real estate loans that are
dependent on the cash flow from the real estate held as collateral and that are
likely to be sensitive to conditions in the commercial real estate market (as
opposed to real estate collateral held as a secondary source of repayment or as
an abundance of caution). A bank that has experienced rapid growth in commercial
real estate lending, has notable exposure to a specific type of commercial real
estate loan, or is approaching or exceeding the following supervisory criteria
may be identified for further supervisory analysis with respect to real estate
concentration risk.
Capital
Rules.
In July 2013, the FRB and the federal banking agencies published final rules
that substantially amend the regulatory risk-based capital rules applicable to
the Company and the Bank. These rules implement the "Basel III" regulatory
capital reforms and changes required by the Dodd-Frank Act. "Basel III" refers
to various documents released by the Basel Committee on Banking
Supervision.
Effective
January 1, 2015, the Bank and the Company became subject to new capital
regulations (with some provisions transitioned into full effectiveness over two
to four years). The new requirements created a new ratio for Common Equity Tier
1 ("CET1") capital, increased the leverage and Tier 1 capital ratios, changed
the risk-weights of certain assets for purposes of the risk-based capital
ratios, created an additional capital conservation buffer over the required
capital ratios, and changed what qualifies as capital for purposes of meeting
these various capital requirements. Beginning in calendar year 2016, failure to
maintain the required capital conservation buffer will limit the ability of
Southern Bank and the Company to pay dividends, repurchase shares or pay
discretionary bonuses.
Under
these new requirements, the minimum capital ratios are: a ratio of CET1 capital
to total risk-weighted assets of 4.5%, a ratio of Tier 1 capital to
risk-weighted assets of 6.0%, a ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets
of 8.0%, and a leverage ratio of 4.0%.
For
all of these capital requirements, there have been a number of changes to what
constitutes regulatory capital, compared to earlier regulations, some of which
are subject to a transition period. However, for a bank holding company with
less than $15 billion in consolidated assets as of December 31, 2009, TARP and
cumulative perpetual preferred stock included in Tier 1 capital prior to May 19,
2010 is grandfathered and included as Tier 1 capital under the new capital
regulations.
Mortgage
servicing rights, certain deferred tax assets and investments in unconsolidated
subsidiaries over designated percentages of common stock are deducted from
capital, subject to a two-year transition period. CET1 capital consists of Tier
1 capital less all capital components that are not considered common equity. In
addition, Tier 1 capital generally includes accumulated other comprehensive
income, which includes all unrealized gains and losses on available for sale
debt and equity securities, subject to a two-year transition period. Because of
its asset size, Southern Bank had the one-time option and elected in the first
quarter of calendar year 2015 to permanently opt-out of the inclusion of
accumulated other comprehensive income in its capital calculations, to reduce
the impact of market volatility on its regulatory capital levels.
The
new requirements also included changes in the risk-weights of certain assets to
better reflect credit risk and other risk exposures. These include a 150% risk
weight (up from 100%) for certain high volatility commercial real estate
acquisition, development and construction loans and for non-residential mortgage
loans that are 90 days past due or otherwise in nonaccrual status; a 20% (up
from 0%) credit conversion factor for the unused portion of a commitment with an
original maturity of one year or less that is not unconditionally cancellable
(currently set at 0%); a 250% risk weight (up from 100%) for mortgage servicing
and deferred tax assets that are not deducted from capital; and increased
risk-weights (0% to 600%) for equity exposures.
In
addition to the minimum CET1, Tier 1, and total capital ratios, Southern Bank
and the Company will have to maintain a capital conservation buffer consisting
of additional CET1 capital equal to 2.5% of risk-weighted assets above each of
the required minimum capital levels in order to avoid limitations on paying
dividends, engaging in share repurchases, and paying certain discretionary
bonuses. This new capital conservation buffer requirement is
33
to
be phased in beginning in January 2016 at 0.625% of risk-weighted assets and
increasing each year until fully implemented in January 2019.
The
FRB's prompt corrective action standards have been updated for these new capital
ratios. Under the new standards, in order to be considered well-capitalized,
Southern Bank is required to have at least a CET1 ratio of 6.5% (new), a Tier 1
ratio of 8% (increased from 6%), a total capital ratio of 10% (unchanged) and a
leverage ratio of 5% (unchanged), and not be subject to specified requirements
to meet and maintain a specific capital ratio for a capital measure.
As
of June 30, 2015, Southern Bank and the Company meet all these new requirements,
including the full 2.5% capital conservation buffer, and would remain well
capitalized if all phased-in requirements had been fully in effect on that
date.
In
addition, as noted above, beginning in calendar year 2016, if Southern Bank does
not have the required capital conservation buffer, its ability to pay dividends
to Southern Missouri Bancorp, Inc. will be limited.
Activities
and Investments of Insured State-Chartered Banks. The FDIA generally
limits the activities and equity investments of FDIC-insured, state-chartered
banks to those that are permissible for national banks. Under regulations
dealing with equity investments, an insured state bank generally may not
directly or indirectly acquire or retain any equity investment of a type, or in
an amount, that is not permissible for a national bank. An insured state bank is
not prohibited from, among other things, (i) acquiring or retaining a majority
interest in a subsidiary, (ii) investing as a limited partner in a partnership
the sole purpose of which is direct or indirect investment in the acquisition,
rehabilitation or new construction of a qualified housing project, provided that
such limited partnership investments may not exceed 2% of the bank's total
assets, (iii) acquiring up to 10% of the voting stock of a company that solely
provides or reinsures directors', trustees' and officers' liability insurance
coverage or bankers' blanket bond group insurance coverage for insured
depository institutions, and (iv) acquiring or retaining the voting shares of a
depository institution if certain requirements are met.
Subject
to certain regulatory exceptions, FDIC regulations provide that an insured
state-chartered bank may not, directly, or indirectly through a subsidiary,
engage as "principal" in any activity that is not permissible for a national
bank unless the FDIC has determined that such activities would pose no risk to
the Deposit Insurance Fund and that the bank is in compliance with applicable
regulatory capital requirements.
Affiliate
Transactions. The Company and the Bank are separate and distinct legal
entities. Various legal limitations restrict the Bank from lending or otherwise
supplying funds to the Company (or any other affiliate), generally limiting such
transactions with the affiliate to 10% of the Bank's capital and surplus and
limiting all such transactions with all affiliates to 20% of the Bank's capital
and surplus. Such transactions, including extensions of credit, sales of
securities or assets and provision of services, also must be on terms and
conditions consistent with safe and sound banking practices, including credit
standards, that are substantially the same or at least as favorable to the Bank
as those prevailing at the time for transactions with unaffiliated
companies.
Federally
insured banks are subject, with certain exceptions, to certain additional
restrictions (including collateralization) on extensions of credit to their
parent holding companies or other affiliates, on investments in the stock or
other securities of affiliates and on the taking of such stock or securities as
collateral from any borrower. In addition, such banks are prohibited from
engaging in certain tying arrangements in connection with any extension of
credit or the providing of any property or service.
Community
Reinvestment Act. Banks are also subject to the provisions of the
Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 ("CRA"), which requires the appropriate
federal bank regulatory agency, in connection with its regular examination of a
bank, to assess the bank's record in meeting the credit needs of the community
serviced by the bank, including low and moderate income neighborhoods. The
regulatory agency's assessment of the bank's record is made available to the
public. Further, such assessment is required of any bank which has applied,
among other things, to establish a new branch office that will accept deposits,
relocate an existing office or merge or consolidate with, or acquire the assets
or assume the liabilities of, a financial institution. The Bank received a
"satisfactory" rating during its most recent CRA examination.
Dividends.
Dividends from the Bank constitute the major source of funds for
dividends that may be paid by the Company. The amount of dividends payable by
the Bank to the Company depends upon the Bank's earnings and capital position,
and is limited by federal and state laws, regulations and policies.
34
The
amount of dividends actually paid by the Bank during any one period will be
strongly affected by the Bank's management policy of maintaining a strong
capital position. Dividends can be restricted if the capital conservation buffer
is not maintained as described under "Capital Rules" above. Federal law
further provides that no insured depository institution may make any capital
distribution (which would include a cash dividend) if, after making the
distribution, the institution would be "undercapitalized," as defined in the
prompt corrective action regulations. Moreover, the federal bank regulatory
agencies also have the general authority to limit the dividends paid by insured
banks if such payments should be deemed to constitute an unsafe and unsound
practice.
The
Company
Federal
Securities Law. The stock of the Company is registered with the SEC under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). As such,
the Company is subject to the information, proxy solicitation, insider trading
restrictions and other requirements of the SEC under the Exchange Act.
The
Company's stock held by persons who are affiliates (generally officers,
directors and principal stockholders) of the Company may not be resold without
registration or unless sold in accordance with certain resale restrictions. If
the Company meets specified current public information requirements, each
affiliate of the Company is able to sell in the public market, without
registration, a limited number of shares in any three-month period.
The
SEC has adopted rules under which, if certain conditions are met, the holders of
3% of voting shares of the Company who have held their shares for three years
may require the Company to include their nominees for board seats in proxy
materials distributed by the Company. "Smaller reporting companies", like the
Company, will be subject to these new rules after a three-year phase-in
period.
Bank
Holding Company Regulation. Bank holding companies are subject to
comprehensive regulation by the FRB under the Bank Holding Company Act ("BHCA").
As a bank holding company, the Company is required to file reports with the FRB
and such additional information as the FRB may require, and the Company and its
non-banking affiliates are subject to examination by the FRB. Under FRB policy,
a bank holding company must serve as a source of financial strength for its
subsidiary banks. Under this policy the FRB may require, and has required in the
past, a holding company to contribute additional capital to an undercapitalized
subsidiary bank. Under the Dodd-Frank Act, this policy is codified and rules to
implement it will be established. Under the BHCA, a bank holding company must
obtain FRB approval before: (i) acquiring, directly or indirectly, ownership or
control of any voting shares of another bank or bank holding company if, after
such acquisition, it would own or control more than 5% of such shares (unless it
already owns or controls the majority of such shares); (ii) acquiring all or
substantially all of the assets of another bank or bank holding company; or
(iii) merging or consolidating with another bank holding company.
The
Company is subject to the activity limitations imposed on bank holding companies
that are not financial holding companies. The BHCA prohibits a bank holding
company, with certain exceptions, from acquiring direct or indirect ownership or
control of more than 5% of the voting shares of any company which is not a bank
or bank holding company, or from engaging directly or indirectly in activities
other than those of banking, managing or controlling banks, or providing
services for its subsidiaries. The principal exceptions to these prohibitions
involve certain non-bank activities which, by statute or by FRB regulation or
order, have been identified as activities closely related to the business of
banking or managing or controlling banks. The list of activities permitted by
the FRB includes, among other things, operating a savings institution, mortgage
company, finance company, credit card company or factoring company; performing
certain data processing operations; providing certain investment and financial
advice; underwriting and acting as an insurance agent for certain types of
credit-related insurance; leasing property on a full-payout, non-operating
basis; selling money orders, travelers' checks and United States Savings Bonds;
real estate and personal property appraising; providing tax planning and
preparation services; and, subject to certain limitations, providing securities
brokerage services for customers.
The
FRB has established minimum leverage ratio and risk-based capital requirements
for bank holding companies that are substantially the same as those for
FRB-regulated banks. Effective January 1, 2015, the Company became subject to
the same capital requirements as described above for the Bank.
TAXATION
Federal
Taxation
General.
The Company and the Bank report their income on a fiscal year basis using
the accrual method of accounting and are subject to federal income taxation in
the same manner as other corporations with some
35
exceptions,
including particularly the Bank's reserve for bad debts discussed below. The
following discussion of tax matters is intended only as a summary and does not
purport to be a comprehensive description of the tax rules applicable to the
Bank or the Company.
Bad
Debt Reserve. Historically, savings institutions, such as the Bank used
to be, which met certain definitional tests primarily related to their assets
and the nature of their business ("qualifying thrift"), were permitted to
establish a reserve for bad debts and to make annual additions thereto, which
may have been deducted in arriving at their taxable income. The Bank's
deductions with respect to their loans, which are generally loans secured by
certain interests in real property, historically has been computed using an
amount based on the Bank's actual loss experience, in accordance with IRC
Section 585(B)(2). Due to the Bank's loss experience, the Bank generally
recognized a bad debt deduction equal to their net charge-offs.
The
Bank's average assets for the current year exceeded $500 million, thus
classifying it as a large bank for purposes of IRC Section 585. Under IRC
Section 585(c)(3), a bank that becomes a large bank must change its method of
accounting from the reserve method to a specific charge-off method under IRC
Section 166. The Bank's deductions with respect to their loans are computed
under the specific charge-off method. The specific charge-off method will be
used in the current year and all subsequent tax years.
Distributions.
To the extent that the Bank makes "nondividend distributions" to the
Company, such distributions will be considered to result in distributions from
the balance of its bad debt reserve as of December 31, 1987 (or a lesser amount
if the Bank's loan portfolio decreased since December 31, 1987) and then from
the supplemental reserve for losses on loans ("Excess Distributions"), and an
amount based on the Excess Distributions will be included in the Bank's taxable
income. Nondividend distributions include distributions in excess of the Bank's
current and accumulated earnings and profits, distributions in redemption of
stock and distributions in partial or complete liquidation. However, dividends
paid out of the Bank's current or accumulated earnings and profits, as
calculated for federal income tax purposes, will not be considered to result in
a distribution from the Bank's bad debt reserve. The amount of additional
taxable income created from an Excess Distribution is an amount that, when
reduced by the tax attributable to the income, is equal to the amount of the
distribution. Thus, if the Bank makes a "nondividend distribution," then
approximately one and one-half times the Excess Distribution would be includable
in gross income for federal income tax purposes, assuming a 35% corporate income
tax rate (exclusive of state and local taxes). See "REGULATION" for limits on
the payment of dividends by the Bank. The Bank does not intend to pay dividends
that would result in a recapture of any portion of its tax bad debt
reserve.
Corporate
Alternative Minimum Tax. The Internal Revenue Code imposes a tax on
alternative minimum taxable income ("AMTI") at a rate of 20%. In addition, only
90% of AMTI can be offset by net operating loss carry-overs. AMTI is increased
by an amount equal to 75% of the amount by which the Bank's adjusted current
earnings exceeds its AMTI (determined without regard to this preference and
prior to reduction for net operating losses).
Dividends-Received
Deduction. The Company may exclude from its income 100% of dividends
received from the Bank as a member of the same affiliated group of corporations.
The corporate dividends-received deduction is generally 70% in the case of
dividends received from unaffiliated corporations with which the Company and the
Bank will not file a consolidated tax return, except that if the Company or the
Bank owns more than 20% of the stock of a corporation distributing a dividend,
then 80% of any dividends received may be deducted.
Missouri
Taxation
General.
Missouri-based banks, such as the Bank, are subject to a Missouri bank
franchise and income tax.
Bank
Franchise Tax. The Missouri bank franchise tax is imposed on (i) the
bank's taxable income at the rate of 7%, less credits for certain Missouri
taxes, including income taxes. However, the credits excludes taxes paid for real
estate, unemployment taxes, bank tax, and taxes on tangible personal property
owned by the Bank and held for lease or rentals to others - income-based
calculation; and (ii) the bank's net assets at a rate of .007%. Net assets are
defined as total assets less deposits and the investment in greater than 50%
owned subsidiaries - asset-based calculation.
Income
Tax. The Bank and its holding company and related subsidiaries are
subject to an income tax that is imposed on the consolidated taxable income
apportioned to Missouri at the rate of 6.25%. The return is filed on a
consolidated basis by all members of the consolidated group including the
Bank.
36
Arkansas
Taxation
General.
Due to its loan activity and the acquisitions of Arkansas banks in recent
periods, the Bank is subject to an Arkansas income tax. The tax is imposed on
the Bank's apportioned taxable income at a rate of 6%.
Audits
There
have been no IRS audits of the Company's Federal income tax returns or audits of
the Bank's state income tax returns during the past five years.
For
additional information regarding taxation, see Note 11 of Notes to the
Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 8.
PERSONNEL
As
of June 30, 2015, the Company had 289 full-time employees and 38 part-time
employees. The Company believes that employees play a vital role in the success
of a service company and that the Company's relationship with its employees is
good. The employees are not represented by a collective bargaining unit.

Item
1A.
Risk
Factors
Risks
Relating to Our Business and Operating Environment
An
investment in our securities is subject to inherent risks. Before making an
investment decision, you should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties
described below together with all of the other information included in this
report. In addition to the risks and uncertainties described below, other risks
and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be
immaterial also may materially and adversely affect our business, financial
condition and results of operations. The value or market price of our securities
could decline due to any of these identified or other risks, and you could lose
all or part of your investment.
We
may fail to realize all of the anticipated benefits of our recently completed
acquisition of PSC.
The
success of our recently completed acquisition of PSC will depend on, among other
things, our ability to realize anticipated cost savings and to combine the
businesses of the companies in a manner that does not materially disrupt the
existing customer relationships of the companies or result in decreased revenues
from customers. If we are unable to achieve these objectives, the
anticipated benefits of the acquisition may not be realized fully, if at all, or
may take longer to realize than expected.
Prior
to the completion of the acquisition, we and PSC operated independently of one
another. The integration process could result in the loss of key
employees, the disruption of each company's ongoing business or inconsistencies
in standards, controls, procedures and policies that adversely affect our
ability to maintain relationships with clients, customers, depositors and
employees or to achieve the anticipated benefits of the acquisition.
Integration efforts between the companies will also divert management attention
and resources. These integration matters could adversely affect us.
If
we fail to successfully integrate PSC into our internal control over financial
reporting or if PSC's internal controls are found to be ineffective, the
integrity of our financial reporting could be compromised.
As
a private company, PSC was not subject to the requirements of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), with respect to internal
control over financial reporting, and for a period of time after the
consummation of the Merger, the management evaluation and auditor attestation
regarding the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting may
exclude the operations of PSC. The integration of PSC into our internal
control over financial reporting will require significant time and resources
from our management and other personnel and will increase our compliance
costs. If we fail to successfully integrate the operations of PSC into our
internal control over financial reporting, our internal control over financial
reporting might not be effective. Failure to achieve and maintain an
effective internal control environment could have a material adverse effect on
our ability to accurately report our financial results, the market's perception
of our business and our stock price. In addition, if PSC's internal
controls are found to be ineffective, the integrity of PSC's past financial
statements could be adversely impacted.
Our
allowance for loan losses may be insufficient to absorb losses in our loan
portfolio.
Lending
money is a substantial part of our business. Every loan carries a certain risk
that it will not be repaid in accordance with its terms or that any underlying
collateral will not be sufficient to ensure repayment. This risk is affected by,
among other things:
· | cash flow of the borrower and/or the project being financed; |
· | in the case of a collateralized loan, the changes and uncertainties as to the future value of the collateral; |
· | the credit history of a particular borrower; |
· | changes in economic and industry conditions; and |
· | the duration of the loan. |
We
maintain an allowance for loan losses which we believe is appropriate to provide
for potential losses in our loan portfolio. The amount of this allowance is
determined by our management through a periodic review and consideration of
several factors, including, but not limited to:
39
· | the quality, size and diversity of the loan portfolio; |
· | evaluation of non-performing loans; |
· | historical default and loss experience; |
· | historical recovery experience; |
· | economic conditions; |
· | risk characteristics of the various classifications of loans; and |
· | the amount and quality of collateral, including guarantees, securing the loans. |
If
loan losses exceed the allowance for loan losses, our business, financial
condition and profitability may suffer.
If
our nonperforming assets increase, our earnings will be adversely
affected.
At
June 30, 2015 and
June 30, 2014, our nonperforming assets were $8.3 million and $4.4 million,
respectively, or 0.64% and 0.43% of total assets, respectively. Our
nonperforming assets adversely affect our net income in various
ways:
· | We do not accrue interest income on nonaccrual loans, nonperforming investment securities, or other real estate owned. |
· | We must provide for probable loan losses through a current period charge to the provision for loan losses. |
· | Non-interest expense increases when we must write down the value of properties in our other real estate owned portfolio to reflect changing market values or recognize other-than-temporary impairment on nonperforming investment securities. |
· | There are legal fees associated with the resolution of problem assets, as well as carrying costs, such as taxes, insurance, and maintenance fees related to our other real estate owned. |
· | The resolution of nonperforming assets requires the active involvement of management, which can divert management's attention from more profitable activities. |
If
additional borrowers become delinquent and do not pay their loans and we are
unable to successfully manage our nonperforming assets, our losses and troubled
assets could increase significantly, which could have a material adverse effect
on our financial condition and results of operations.
Changes
in economic conditions, particularly a further economic slowdown in southeast or
southwest Missouri or northeast or north central Arkansas, could hurt our
business.
Our
business is directly affected by market conditions, trends in industry and
finance, legislative and regulatory changes, and changes in governmental
monetary and fiscal policies and inflation, all of which are beyond our control.
In 2008, the housing and real estate sectors experienced an economic slowdown
that has continued. Further deterioration in economic conditions, particularly
within our primary market area in southeast and southwest Missouri and northeast
and north central Arkansas, could result in the following consequences, among
others, any of which could hurt our business materially:
· | loan delinquencies may increase; |
· | problem assets and foreclosures may increase; |
· | demand for our products and services may decline; |
40
· | loan collateral may decline in value, in turn reducing a customer's borrowing power and reducing the value of collateral securing our loans; and |
· | the net worth and liquidity of loan guarantors may decline, impairing their ability to honor commitments to us. |
Downturns
in the real estate markets in our primary market area could hurt our
business.
Our
business activities and credit exposure are primarily concentrated in southeast
and southwest Missouri and northeast and north central Arkansas. While we did
not and do not have a sub-prime lending program, our residential real estate,
construction and land loan portfolios, our commercial and multifamily loan
portfolios and certain of our other loans could be affected by the downturn in
the residential real estate market. We anticipate that significant declines in
the real estate markets in our primary market area would hurt our business and
would mean that collateral for our loans would hold less value. As a result, our
ability to recover on defaulted loans by selling the underlying real estate
would be diminished, and we would be more likely to suffer losses on defaulted
loans. The events and conditions described in this risk factor could therefore
have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and
financial condition.
Our
construction lending exposes us to significant risk.
Our
construction loan portfolio, which totaled $69.2 million, or 6.57% of loans,
net, at June 30, 2015,
includes residential and non-residential construction and development loans.
This type of lending is generally considered to have more complex credit risks
than traditional single-family residential lending because the principal is
concentrated in a limited number of loans with repayment dependent on the
successful completion and sale of the related real estate project. Consequently,
these loans are often more sensitive to adverse conditions in the real estate
market or the general economy than other real estate loans. These loans are
generally less predictable and more difficult to evaluate and monitor and
collateral may be difficult to dispose of in a market decline. Additionally, we
may experience significant construction loan losses because independent
appraisers or project engineers inaccurately estimate the cost and value of
construction loan projects.
Deterioration
in our construction portfolio could result in increases in the provision for
loan losses and an increase in charge-offs, all of which could have a material
adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Our
loan portfolio possesses increased risk due to our percentage of commercial real
estate and commercial business loans.
At
June 30, 2015, 56.65% of
our loans, net, consisted of commercial real estate and commercial business
loans to small and mid-sized businesses, generally located in our primary market
area, which are the types of businesses that have a heightened vulnerability to
local economic conditions. Over the last several years, we have increased this
type of lending from 50.53% of our portfolio at June 30, 2009, in order to
improve the yield on our assets. At June 30, 2015, our loan portfolio included
$404.7 million
of commercial real estate loans and $191.9 million
of commercial business loans compared to $97.2 million
and $89.1 million,
respectively, at June 30, 2009. The credit risk related to these types of loans
is considered to be greater than the risk related to one- to four-family
residential loans because the repayment of commercial real estate loans and
commercial business loans typically is dependent on the successful operation and
income stream of the borrower's business and the real estate securing the loans
as collateral, which can be significantly affected by economic conditions.
Additionally, commercial loans typically involve larger loan balances to single
borrowers or groups of related borrowers compared to residential real estate
loans. Commercial loans not collateralized by real estate are often secured by
collateral that may depreciate over time, be difficult to appraise and fluctuate
in value (such as accounts receivable, inventory and equipment). If loans that
are collateralized by real estate become troubled and the value of the real
estate has been significantly impaired, then we may not be able to recover the
full contractual amount of principal and interest that we anticipated at the
time we originated the loan, which could require us to increase our provision
for loan losses and adversely affect our operating results and financial
condition.
Several
of our commercial borrowers have more than one commercial real estate or
business loan outstanding with us. Consequently, an adverse development with
respect to one loan or one credit relationship can expose us to significantly
greater risk of loss compared to an adverse development with respect to any one-
to four-family residential mortgage loan. Finally, if we foreclose on a
commercial real estate loan, our holding period for the collateral, if any,
typically is longer than for one- to four-family residential property because
there are fewer potential purchasers of the collateral. Since we plan to
continue to increase our originations of these loans, it may be
41
necessary
to increase the level of our allowance for loan losses due to the increased risk
characteristics associated with these types of loans. Any increase to our
allowance for loan losses would adversely affect our earnings. Any delinquent
payments or the failure to repay these loans would hurt our earnings.
Included
in the commercial real estate loans described above are agricultural real estate
loans totaling $82.0 million,
or 7.8% of
our loan portfolio, net, at June 30, 2015. Agricultural real estate lending
involves a greater degree of risk and typically involves larger loans to single
borrowers than lending on single-family residences. Payments on agricultural
real estate loans are dependent on the profitable operation or management of the
farm property securing the loan. The success of the farm may be affected by many
factors outside the control of the farm borrower, including adverse weather
conditions that prevent the planting of a crop or limit crop yields (such as
hail, drought and floods), loss of livestock due to disease or other factors,
declines in market prices for agricultural products (both domestically and
internationally) and the impact of government regulations (including changes in
price supports, subsidies and environmental regulations). In addition, many
farms are dependent on a limited number of key individuals whose injury or death
may significantly affect the successful operation of the farm. If the cash flow
from a farming operation is diminished, the borrower's ability to repay the loan
may be impaired. The primary crops in our market areas are cotton, rice, corn
and soybean. Accordingly, adverse circumstances affecting these crops could have
an adverse effect on our agricultural real estate loan portfolio. Our
agricultural real estate lending has grown significantly since June 30,
2009, when
these loans totaled $21.3 million,
or 5.8% of
our loan portfolio.
Included
in the commercial business loans described above are agricultural production and
equipment loans. At June 30, 2015, these loans totaled $57.9 million, or 5.5%,
of our loan portfolio, net. As with agricultural real estate loans, the
repayment of operating loans is dependent on the successful operation or
management of the farm property. Likewise, agricultural operating loans which
are unsecured or secured by rapidly depreciating assets such as farm equipment
or assets such as livestock or crops. Any repossessed collateral for a defaulted
loan may not provide an adequate source of repayment of the outstanding loan
balance as a result of the greater likelihood of damage, loss or depreciation to
the collateral. Our agricultural operating loans have also grown significantly
since June 30, 2009, when
such loans totaled $27.5 million, or 7.5% of our loan portfolio.
Agricultural production and equipment loans typically peak for us during the
fall. At September 30, 2014, these loans totaled $69.3 million,
or 6.6% of
our loan portfolio, net.
Lack
of seasoning of our commercial real estate and commercial business loan
portfolios may increase the risk of credit defaults in the future.
Due
to our increasing emphasis on commercial real estate and commercial business
lending, a substantial amount of the loans in our commercial real estate and
commercial business portfolios and our lending relationships are of relatively
recent origin. In general, loans do not begin to show signs of credit
deterioration or default until they have been outstanding for some period of
time, a process referred to as "seasoning." A portfolio of older loans
will usually behave more predictably than a newer portfolio. As a result,
because a large portion of our loan portfolio is relatively new, the current
level of delinquencies and defaults may not be representative of the level that
will prevail when the portfolio becomes more seasoned, which may be higher than
current levels. If delinquencies and defaults increase, we may be required to
increase our provision for loan losses, which would adversely affect our results
of operations and financial condition.
Changes
in interest rates may negatively affect our earnings and the value of our
assets.
Our
earnings and cash flows depend substantially upon our net interest income. Net
interest income is the difference between interest income earned on
interest-earnings assets, such as loans and investment securities, and interest
expense paid on interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowed
funds. Interest rates are sensitive to many factors that are beyond our control,
including general economic conditions, competition and policies of various
governmental and regulatory agencies and, in particular, the policies of the
Federal Reserve Board. Changes in monetary policy, including changes in interest
rates, could influence not only the interest we receive on loans and investment
securities and the amount of interest we pay on deposits and borrowings, but
these changes could also affect: (i) our ability to originate loans and obtain
deposits; (ii) the fair value of our financial assets and liabilities, including
our securities portfolio; and (iii) the average duration of our interest-earning
assets. This also includes the risk that interest-earning assets may be more
responsive to changes in interest rates than interest-bearing liabilities, or
vice versa (repricing risk), the risk that the individual interest rates or rate
indices underlying various interest-earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities may not change in the same degree over a given time period (basis
risk), and the risk of changing interest rate relationships across the spectrum
of interest-earning asset and interest-bearing liability maturities (yield curve
risk), including a prolonged flat or inverted yield curve environment. Any
42
substantial,
unexpected, prolonged change in market interest rates could have a material
adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Liquidity
risk could impair our ability to fund operations and jeopardize our financial
condition.
Liquidity
is essential to our business. An inability to raise funds through deposits,
borrowings, the sale of loans and other sources could have a substantial
negative effect on our liquidity. Our access to funding sources in amounts
adequate to finance our activities or the terms of which are acceptable to us
could be impaired by factors that affect us specifically or the financial
services industry or economy in general. Factors that could detrimentally impact
our access to liquidity sources include a decrease in the level of our business
activity as a result of a downturn in the markets in which our loans are
concentrated or an adverse regulatory action against us. Our ability to borrow
could also be impaired by factors that are not specific to us, such as a
disruption in the financial markets or negative views and expectations about the
prospects for the financial services industry generally.
We
have pursued a strategy of supplementing internal growth by acquiring other
financial companies or their assets and liabilities that we believe will help
fulfill our strategic objectives and enhance our earnings. There are risks
associated with this strategy, including the following:
· | We may be exposed to potential asset quality issues or unknown or contingent liabilities of the banks, businesses, assets and liabilities we acquire. If these issues or liabilities exceed our estimates, our results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected; |
· | Prices at which acquisitions can be made fluctuate with market conditions. We have experienced times during which acquisitions could not be made in specific markets at prices we considered acceptable and expect that we will experience this condition in the future; |
· | The acquisition of other entities generally requires integration of systems, procedures and personnel of the acquired entity into us to make the transaction economically successful. This integration process is complicated and time consuming and can also be disruptive to the customers of the acquired business. If the integration process is not conducted successfully and with minimal effect on the acquired business and its customers, we may not realize the anticipated economic benefits of particular acquisitions within the expected time frame, and we may lose customers or employees of the acquired business. We may also experience greater than anticipated customer losses even if the integration process is successful. |
· | To the extent our costs of an acquisition exceed the fair value of the net assets acquired, the acquisition will generate goodwill. We are required to assess our goodwill for impairment at least annually, and any goodwill impairment charge could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition; |
· | To finance an acquisition, we may borrow funds, thereby increasing our leverage and diminishing our liquidity, or raise additional capital, which could dilute the interests of our existing shareholders; and |
· | We have completed four acquisitions within the past five years and opened additional banking offices in the past few years that enhanced our rate of growth. We do not necessarily expect to be able to maintain our past rate of growth, and may not be able to grow at all in the future. |
Our
growth or future losses may require us to raise additional capital in the
future, but that capital may not be available when it is needed or the cost of
that capital may be very high.
We
are required by federal and state regulatory authorities to maintain adequate
levels of capital to support our operations. While we anticipate that our
capital resources will satisfy our capital requirements for the foreseeable
future, we may at some point need to raise additional capital to support our
operations or continued growth, both internally and through acquisitions. Any
capital we obtain may result in the dilution of the interests of existing
holders of our common stock, or otherwise adversely affect your
investment.
43
Our
ability to raise additional capital, if needed, will depend on conditions in the
capital markets at that time, which are outside our control, and on our
financial condition and performance. Accordingly, we cannot make assurances of
our ability to raise additional capital if needed, or if the terms will be
acceptable to us. If we cannot raise additional capital when needed, our ability
to further expand our operations through internal growth and acquisitions could
be materially impaired and our financial condition and liquidity could be
materially and adversely affected.
Legislative
or regulatory changes or actions, or significant litigation, could adversely
impact us or the businesses in which we are engaged.
The
financial services industry is extensively regulated. We are subject to
extensive state and federal regulation, supervision and legislation that govern
almost all aspects of our operations. Laws and regulations may change from time
to time and are primarily intended for the protection of consumers, depositors
and the deposit insurance funds, and not to benefit our shareholders. The impact
of any changes to laws and regulations or other actions by regulatory agencies
may negatively impact us or our ability to increase the value of our business.
Regulatory authorities have extensive discretion in connection with their
supervisory and enforcement activities, including the imposition of restrictions
on the operation of an institution, the classification of assets by the
institution and the adequacy of an institution's allowance for loan losses.
Additionally, actions by regulatory agencies or significant litigation against
us could require us to devote significant time and resources to defending our
business and may lead to penalties that materially affect us and our
shareholders.
Impairment
of investment securities, other intangible assets, or deferred tax assets could
require charges to earnings, which could negatively impact our results of
operations.
In
assessing the impairment of investment securities, we consider the length of
time and extent to which the fair value of the securities has been less than the
cost of the securities, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the
issuers, whether the market decline was affected by macroeconomic conditions and
whether we have the intent to sell the debt security or will be required to sell
the debt security before its anticipated recovery. In fiscal 2009, we incurred
charges to recognize the other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) of
available-for-sale investments related to investments in Freddie Mac preferred
stock ($304,000 impairment realized in the first quarter of fiscal 2009) and a
pooled trust preferred collateralized debt obligation, Trapeza CDO IV, Ltd.,
class C2 ($375,000 impairment realized in the second quarter of fiscal 2009). We
currently hold three additional collateralized debt obligations (CDOs) which
have not been deemed other-than-temporarily impaired, based on our best judgment
using information currently available.
Under
current accounting standards, goodwill and certain other intangible assets with
indeterminate lives are no longer amortized but, instead, are assessed for
impairment periodically or when impairment indicators are present. As of June
30, 2015, we determined that none of our goodwill or other intangible assets
were impaired.
Deferred
tax assets are only recognized to the extent it is more likely than not they
will be realized. Should our management determine it is not more likely than not
that the deferred tax assets will be realized, a valuation allowance with a
charge to earnings would be reflected in the period. At June 30, 2015, our net
deferred tax asset was $3.3 million,
none of which was disallowed for regulatory capital purposes. Based on the
levels of taxable income in prior years and our expectation of profitability in
the current year and future years, management has determined that no valuation
allowance was required at June 30, 2015. If we are required in the future to
take a valuation allowance with respect to our deferred tax asset, our financial
condition, results of operations and regulatory capital levels would be
negatively affected.
The
soundness of other financial institutions could adversely affect us.
Our
ability to engage in routine funding transactions could be adversely affected by
the actions and commercial soundness of other financial institutions. Financial
services institutions are interrelated as a result of trading, clearing,
counterparty or other relationships. We have exposure to many different
industries and counterparties, and we routinely execute transactions with
counterparties in the financial industry. As a result, defaults by, or even
rumors or questions about, one or more financial services institutions, or the
financial services industry generally, have led to market-wide liquidity
problems and could lead to losses or defaults by us or by other institutions.
Many of these transactions expose us to credit risk in the event of default of
our counterparty or client. In addition, our credit risk may be exacerbated when
the collateral we hold cannot be realized upon or is liquidated at prices
insufficient to recover the full amount of the loan. We cannot assure you that
any such losses would not materially and adversely affect our business,
financial condition or results of operations.
44
Non-compliance
with USA Patriot Act, Bank Secrecy Act, or other laws and regulations could
result in fines or sanctions.
The
USA Patriot and Bank Secrecy Acts require financial institutions to develop
programs to prevent financial institutions from being used for money laundering
and terrorist activities. If such activities are detected, financial
institutions are obligated to file suspicious activity reports with the U.S.
Treasury's Office of Financial Crimes Enforcement Network. These rules require
financial institutions to establish procedures for identifying and verifying the
identity of customers seeking to open new financial accounts. Failure to comply
with these regulations could result in fines or sanctions. Several banking
institutions have received large fines for non-compliance with these laws and
regulations. Although we have developed policies and procedures designed to
assist in compliance with these laws and regulations, no assurance can be given
that these policies and procedures will be effective in preventing violations of
these laws and regulations.
We
operate in a highly regulated environment and may be adversely affected by
changes in federal and state laws and regulations, some of which is expected to
increase our costs of operations.
We
are currently subject to extensive examination, supervision and comprehensive
regulation by the FDIC and the DFI and by the Federal Reserve. The FDIC, DFI and
the Federal Reserve govern the activities in which we may engage, primarily for
the protection of depositors and the Deposit Insurance Fund. These regulatory
authorities have extensive discretion, including the ability to restrict an
institution's operations, require the institution to reclassify assets,
determine the adequacy of the institution's allowance for loan losses and
determine the level of deposit insurance premiums assessed. Any change in such
regulation and oversight, whether in the form of regulatory policy, new
regulations or legislation or additional deposit insurance premiums could have a
material adverse impact on our operations. Because our business is highly
regulated, the laws and applicable regulations are subject to frequent change.
Any new laws, rules and regulations could make compliance more difficult or
expensive or otherwise adversely affect our business, financial condition or
growth prospects. Such changes could subject us to additional costs, limit the
types of financial services and products we may offer and/or increase the
ability of non-banks to offer competing financial services and products, among
other things.
The
Dodd-Frank Act has significantly changed the bank regulatory structure and will
affect the lending, deposit, investment, trading and operating activities of
financial institutions and their holding companies. The Dodd-Frank Act requires
various federal agencies to adopt a broad range of new implementing rules and
regulations, and to prepare numerous studies and reports for Congress. The
federal agencies are given significant discretion in drafting and implementing
rules and regulations, and consequently, many of the details and much of the
impact of the Dodd-Frank Act may not be known for many months or years.
Certain
provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act are expected to have a near term impact on us.
For example, a provision of the Dodd-Frank Act eliminates the federal
prohibition on paying interest on demand deposits, thus allowing businesses to
have interest bearing checking accounts. Depending on competitive responses,
this significant change to existing law could have an adverse impact on our
interest expense.
The
Dodd-Frank Act created a new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau with broad
powers to supervise and enforce consumer protection laws. The Consumer Financial
Protection Bureau has broad rule-making authority for a wide range of consumer
protection laws that apply to all banks and savings institutions, including the
authority to prohibit "unfair, deceptive or abusive" acts and practices. The
Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has examination and enforcement authority
over all banks and savings institutions with more than $10 billion in assets.
Financial institutions, such as our subsidiary banks, with $10 billion or less
in assets continue to be examined for compliance with the consumer laws by their
primary bank regulators.
It
is difficult to predict at this time what specific impact the Dodd-Frank Act and
the yet to be written implementing rules and regulations will have on community
banks. However, it is expected that at a minimum they will increase our
operating and compliance costs and could increase our interest expense. Any
additional changes in our regulation and oversight, whether in the form of new
laws, rules or regulations, could make compliance more difficult or expensive or
otherwise materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or
prospects.
45
Significant
legal actions could subject us to substantial liabilities.
We
are from time to time subject to claims related to our operations. These claims
and legal actions, including supervisory actions by our regulators, could
involve large monetary claims and significant defense costs. As a result, we may
be exposed to substantial liabilities, which could adversely affect our results
of operations and financial condition.
Our
future success is dependent on our ability to compete effectively in the highly
competitive banking industry.
We
face substantial competition in all phases of our operations from a variety of
competitors. Our future growth and success will depend on our ability to compete
effectively in this highly competitive environment. To date, we have grown our
business successfully by focusing on our business lines in geographic markets
and emphasizing the high level of service and responsiveness desired by our
customers. We compete for loans, deposits and other financial services with
other commercial banks, thrifts, credit unions, brokerage houses, mutual funds,
insurance companies and specialized finance companies. Many of our competitors
offer products and services that we do not offer, and many have substantially
greater resources and lending limits, name recognition and market presence that
benefit them in attracting business. In addition, larger competitors may be able
to price loans and deposits more aggressively than we do, and smaller newer
competitors may also be more aggressive in terms of pricing loan and deposit
products than we are in order to obtain a share of the market. Some of the
financial institutions and financial services organizations with which we
compete are not subject to the same degree of regulation as is imposed on bank
holding companies, federally insured state-chartered banks, national banks and
federal savings banks. As a result, these nonbank competitors have certain
advantages over us in accessing funding and in providing various services.
We
are subject to security and operational risks relating to our use of technology
that could damage our reputation and business.
Security
breaches in our internet banking activities could expose us to possible
liability and damage our reputation. Any compromise of our security also could
deter customers from using our internet banking services that involve the
transmission of confidential information. We rely on standard internet security
systems to provide the security and authentication necessary to effect secure
transmission of data. These precautions may not protect our systems from
compromises or breaches of our security measures, which could damage our
reputation and business.
Risks
Relating to Our Common Stock
The
price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly, and this may make it
difficult for you to resell our common stock when you want or at prices you find
attractive.
We
cannot predict how our common stock will trade in the future. The market value
of our common stock will likely continue to fluctuate in response to a number of
factors including the following, most of which are beyond our control, as well
as the other factors described in this "Risk Factors" section:
· | actual or anticipated quarterly fluctuations in our operating and financial results; |
· | developments related to investigations, proceedings or litigation; |
· | changes in financial estimates and recommendations by financial analysts; |
· | dispositions, acquisitions and financings; |
· | actions of our current shareholders, including sales of common stock by existing shareholders and our directors and executive officers; |
· | fluctuations in the stock prices and operating results of our competitors; |
· | regulatory developments; and |
· | other developments in the financial services industry. |
46
The
market value of our common stock may also be affected by conditions affecting
the financial markets in general, including price and trading fluctuations.
These conditions may result in (i) volatility in the level of, and
fluctuations in, the market prices of stocks generally and, in turn, our common
stock and (ii) sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the
market, in each case that could be unrelated or disproportionate to changes in
our operating performance. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect
the market value of our common stock.
There
may be future sales of additional common stock or other dilution of our
shareholders' equity, which may adversely affect the market price of our common
stock.
We
are not restricted from issuing additional common stock, including any
securities that are convertible into or exchangeable for, or that represent the
right to receive, common stock or any substantially similar securities. The
market value of our common stock could decline as a result of sales by us of a
large number of shares of common stock or similar securities in the market or
the perception that such sales could occur.
We
may issue debt and equity securities that are senior to our common stock as to
distributions and in liquidation, which could negatively affect the value of our
common stock.
In
the future, we may increase our capital resources by entering into debt or
debt-like financing or issuing debt or equity securities, which could include
issuances of senior notes, subordinated notes, preferred stock or common stock.
In the event of the liquidation of Southern Missouri Bancorp, Inc. its lenders
and holders of its debt or preferred securities would receive a distribution of
the Southern Missouri Bancorp, Inc.'s available assets before distributions to
the holders of our common stock. Our decision to incur debt and issue other
securities in future offerings will depend on market conditions and other
factors beyond our control. We cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing or
nature of our future offerings and debt financings. Future offerings could
reduce the value of our common stock and dilute the interests of our
shareholders.
Regulatory
and contractual restrictions may limit or prevent us from paying dividends on
and repurchasing our common stock.
Southern
Missouri Bancorp, Inc. is an entity separate and distinct from its subsidiary
bank, and derives substantially all of its revenue in the form of dividends from
the subsidiary. Accordingly, the Company is and will be dependent upon dividends
from its subsidiary bank to pay the principal of and interest on its
indebtedness, to satisfy its other cash needs and to pay dividends on its common
and preferred stock. The bank's ability to pay dividends is subject to their
ability to earn net income and to meet certain regulatory requirements. In the
event the subsidiary bank is unable to pay dividends to the Company, the Company
may not be able to pay dividends on its common or preferred stock. Also, the
Company's right to participate in a distribution of assets upon the subsidiary's
liquidation or reorganization is subject to the prior claims of the subsidiary's
creditors.
In
July 2011, Southern Missouri Bancorp, Inc. sold to the U.S. Treasury $20.0
million of preferred stock pursuant to Treasury's Small Business Lending Fund
("SBLF") program. The payment of dividends on the SBLF preferred stock
reduces the amount of earnings available to pay dividends to common
shareholders. The terms of the SBLF preferred stock also restrict our
ability to pay dividends on, and repurchase, our common stock. Under the
terms of the SBLF preferred stock, our ability to pay dividends on or repurchase
our common stock is limited by a requirement that we generally not reduce our
Tier 1 capital from the level on the SBLF closing date by more than 10%.
In addition, if we fail to pay a dividend on the SBLF preferred stock, there are
further restrictions on our ability to pay dividends on or repurchase our common
stock. As described in the next risk factor, the terms of our outstanding
junior subordinated debt securities prohibit us from paying dividends on or
repurchasing our common stock at any time when we have elected to defer the
payment of interest on such debt securities or certain events of default under
the terms of those debt securities have occurred and are continuing. These
restrictions could have a negative effect on the value of our common
stock. Moreover, holders of our common stock are entitled to receive
dividends only when, as and if declared by our board of directors.
Although we have historically paid cash dividends on our common stock, we are
not required to do so and our board of directors could reduce, suspend or
eliminate our common stock cash dividend in the future.
The
dividend rate on the SBLF preferred stock will increase after four and one-half
years from the issuance date, which could have negative effects on the value of,
or our ability to pay dividends on, our common stock.
The
per annum dividend rate on the SBLF preferred stock fluctuated on a quarterly
basis during the first ten quarters during which the SBLF preferred stock was
outstanding, based upon changes in the amount of our "Qualified Small
Business Lending" or "QSBL" from a baseline level. Our QSBL level reported
at September 30,
47
2013,
fixed the dividend rate until four and one-half years after the issuance date
(i.e., to January 19, 2016) at one percent (1%). From and after four and
one-half years following the issuance date, the dividend rate will be fixed at
nine percent (9%), regardless of the amount of QSBL.
For
fiscal 2014 and 2015, the SBLF dividend rate was one percent (1%), providing an
annualized cost of this capital to us of $200,000. An increase in the dividend
rate to nine percent (9%) would increase the annual cost of this capital to $1.8
million. Depending on our financial condition at the time, any such increases in
the dividend rate could have a material negative effect on our liquidity and the
availability of funds to pay dividends on our common stock.
If
we defer interest payments on our outstanding junior subordinated
debt securities or if certain defaults relating to those debt securities
occur, we will be prohibited from declaring or paying dividends or distributions
on, and from making liquidation payments with respect to, our common
stock.
As
of June 30, 2015, we had outstanding $16.8 million aggregate principal
amount of junior subordinated debt securities issued in connection with the sale
of trust preferred securities by subsidiaries of ours that are statutory
business trusts. As of that date, those debt securities were carried at a fair
value of $14.7 million.
We
guarantee the trust preferred securities described above. The indenture under
which the junior subordinated debt securities were issued, together with the
guarantee, prohibits us, subject to limited exceptions, from declaring or paying
any dividends or distributions on, or redeeming, repurchasing, acquiring or
making any liquidation payments with respect to, any of our capital stock
(including the SBLF preferred stock and our common stock) at any time when
(i) there shall have occurred and be continuing an event of default under the
indenture; or (ii) we are in default with respect to payment of any obligations
under the guarantee; or (iii) we have elected to defer payment of interest on
the junior subordinated debt securities. In that regard, we are entitled, at our
option but subject to certain conditions, to defer payments of interest on the
junior subordinated debt securities from time to time for up to five
years.
Events
of default under the indenture generally consist of our failure to pay interest
on the junior subordinated debt securities under certain circumstances, our
failure to pay any principal of or premium on such junior subordinated debt
securities when due, our failure to comply with certain covenants under the
indenture, and certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or liquidation relating
to us.
As
a result of these provisions, if we were to elect to defer payments of interest
on the junior subordinated debt securities, or if any of the other events
described in clause (i) or (ii) of the first paragraph of this risk factor were
to occur, we would be prohibited from declaring or paying any dividends on the
SBLF preferred stock and our common stock, from redeeming, repurchasing or
otherwise acquiring any of the SBLF preferred stock or our common stock, and
from making any payments to holders of the SBLF preferred stock or our common
stock in the event of our liquidation, which would likely have a material
adverse effect on the market value of our common stock. Moreover, without notice
to or consent from the holders of our common stock or the SBLF preferred stock,
we may issue additional series of junior subordinated debt securities in the
future with terms similar to those of our existing junior subordinated debt
securities or enter into other financing agreements that limit our ability to
purchase or to pay dividends or distributions on our capital stock, including
our common stock.
Anti-takeover
provisions could negatively impact our shareholders.
Provisions
of our articles of incorporation and bylaws, Missouri law and various other
factors may make it more difficult for companies or persons to acquire control
of us without the consent of our board of directors. These provisions
include limitations on voting rights of beneficial owners of more than 10% of
our common stock, the election of directors to staggered terms of three years

Description
of Properties
At
June 30, 2015, the Bank operated from its headquarters, 31 full-service branch
offices, and three limited-service branch offices. The Bank owns the office
building and related land in which its headquarters are located, and 29 of its
other branch offices. The remaining five branches are either leased or partially
owned.
For
additional information regarding our properties, see "Part II, Item 8. Financial
Statements and Supplementary Data – Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements –
Note 5 – Premises and Equipment".
Two
construction projects are currently underway to provide a new corporate
headquarters office in Poplar Bluff, and to finish leased space in a new branch
facility in Springfield to replace an existing leased branch.
Management believes that our current facilities are adequate to meet our present
and immediately foreseeable needs, after consideration of the new construction.
However, we will continue to monitor customer growth and expand our branching
network, if necessary, to serve our customers' needs.

Legal
Proceedings
In
the opinion of management, the Bank is not a party to any pending claims or
lawsuits that are expected to have a material effect on the Bank's financial
condition or operations. Periodically, there have been various claims and
lawsuits involving the Bank mainly as a defendant, such as claims to enforce
liens, condemnation proceedings on properties in which the Bank holds security
interests, claims involving the making and servicing of real property loans and
other issues incident to the Bank's business. Aside from such pending claims and
lawsuits, which are incident to the conduct of the Bank's ordinary business, the
Bank is not a party to any material pending legal proceedings that would have a
material effect on the financial condition or operations of the Bank.

Our
cash dividend payout policy is continually reviewed by management and the Board
of Directors. The Company intends to continue its policy of paying quarterly
dividends; however, future dividend payments will depend upon a number of
factors, including capital requirements, regulatory limitations (See "Item 1.
Description of Business – Regulation"), the Company's financial condition,
results of operations and the Bank's ability to pay dividends to the Company.
The Company relies significantly upon such dividends originating from the Bank
to accumulate earnings for payment of cash dividends to stockholders. The terms
of our SBLF preferred shares limit our ability to pay dividends to common
stockholders if dividends on the SBLF preferred shares are not paid. See "Item
1A. Risk Factors – Risks Relating to our Common Stock – Regulatory and
Contractual Restrictions may limit or prevent us from paying dividends on and
repurchasing our common stock."
Information
regarding our equity compensation plans is included in Item 11 of this Form
10-K.
On
January 2, 2015, the Company declared a two-for-one common stock split in the
form of 100% common stock dividend payable on January 30, 2015, to shareholders
of record on January 16, 2015. The table above, and all references to
stock prices and per share information throughout this annual report on Form
10-K, reflect this split for all periods.

Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations
OVERVIEW
Southern
Missouri Bancorp, Inc. is a Missouri corporation originally organized for the
principal purpose of becoming the holding company of Southern Bank. The
principal business of Southern Bank consists of attracting deposits from the
communities it serves and investing those funds in loans secured by one- to
four-family residences and commercial real estate, as well as commercial
business and consumer loans. These funds have also been used to purchase
investment securities, mortgage-backed securities (MBS), U.S. government and
federal agency obligations and other permissible securities.
Southern
Bank's results of operations are primarily dependent on the levels of its net
interest margin and noninterest income, and its ability to control operating
expenses. Net interest margin is dependent primarily on the difference or spread
between the average yield earned on interest-earning assets (including loans,
mortgage-related securities, and investments) and the average rate paid on
interest-bearing liabilities (including deposits, securities sold under
agreements to repurchase, and borrowings), as well as the relative amounts of
these assets and liabilities. Southern Bank is subject to interest rate risk to
the degree that its interest-earning assets mature or reprice at different
times, or on a varying basis, from its interest-bearing liabilities.
Southern
Bank's noninterest income consists primarily of fees charged on transaction and
loan accounts, interchange income from customer debit and ATM card use, gains on
sales of loans to the secondary market, and increased cash surrender value of
bank owned life insurance ("BOLI"). Southern Bank's operating expenses include:
employee compensation and benefits, occupancy expenses, legal and professional
fees, federal deposit insurance premiums, amortization of intangible assets, and
other general and administrative expenses.
Southern
Bank's operations are significantly influenced by general economic conditions
including monetary and fiscal policies of the U.S. government and the Federal
Reserve Board. Additionally, Southern Bank is subject to policies and
regulations issued by financial institution regulatory agencies including the
Federal Reserve, the Missouri Division of Finance, and the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation. Each of these factors may influence interest rates, loan
demand, prepayment rates and deposit flows. Interest rates available on
competing investments as well as general market interest rates influence the
Bank's cost of funds. Lending activities are affected by the demand for real
estate and other types of loans, which in turn is affected by the interest rates
at which such financing may be offered. Lending activities are funded through
the attraction of deposit accounts consisting of checking accounts, passbook and
statement savings accounts, money market deposit accounts, certificate of
deposit accounts with terms of 60 months or less, securities sold under
agreements to repurchase, advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des
Moines, and, to a lesser extent, brokered deposits. The Bank intends to continue
to focus on its lending programs for one- to four-family residential real
estate, commercial real estate, commercial business and consumer financing on
loans secured by properties or collateral located primarily in southeast
Missouri and northeast and north central Arkansas.
All
share amounts and per share amounts discussed below have been adjusted for the
two-for-one common stock split in the form of a 100% common stock dividend paid
January 30, 2015.
NON-GAAP
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
This
Annual Report on Form 10-K contains certain financial information determined by
methods other than in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America (GAAP). These measures include:
· | Fiscal year 2011 net income available to common stockholders per diluted common share excluding bargain purchase gain, net of transaction expenses related to the December 2010 FDIC-assisted acquisition involving the former First Southern Bank (the "Fiscal 2011 Acquisition"), net of tax; |
· | Fiscal year 2015, 2014 and 2013 net income available to common stockholders excluding accretion of fair value discount on acquired loans, amortization of fair value premium on assumed time deposits, and bargain purchase gain, net of transaction expenses, related to the Fiscal 2011 Acquisition and the Peoples Acquisition, net of tax; |
· | Fiscal year 2015, 2014 and 2013 return on average assets excluding accretion of fair value discount on acquired loans, amortization of fair value premium on assumed time deposits, and bargain purchase gain, net of transaction expenses, related to the Fiscal 2011 Acquisition and the Peoples Acquisition, net of tax; |
54
· | Fiscal year 2015, 2014 and 2013 return on average common equity excluding accretion of fair value discount on acquired loans, amortization of fair value premium on assumed time deposits, and bargain purchase gain, net of transaction expenses, related to the Fiscal 2011 Acquisition and the Peoples Acquisition, net of tax; |
· | Fiscal year 2015, 2014 and 2013 net interest margin excluding accretion of fair value discount on acquired loans and amortization of fair value premium on assumed time deposits related to the Fiscal 2011 Acquisition and the Peoples Acquisition; |
Management
believes that showing these amounts and measures excluding these items is useful
for investors because it better reflects our core operating results and provides
useful information by which to evaluate the Company's operating performance on
an ongoing basis from period to period. Other acquisitions which included
smaller fair value discounts on acquired loans and fair value premiums on
assumed time deposits resulted in less variation in what management believes to
be core operating results.

CRITICAL
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The
Company has established various accounting policies, which govern the
application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America in the preparation of our financial statements. Our significant
accounting policies are described in Item 8 under the Notes to the Consolidated
Financial Statements. Certain accounting policies involve significant judgments
and assumptions by management that have a material impact on the carrying value
of certain assets and liabilities; management considers such accounting policies
to be critical accounting policies. The judgments and assumptions used by
management are based on historical experience and other factors, which are
believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Because of the nature of the
judgments and assumptions made by management, actual results could differ from
these judgments and estimates that could have a material impact on the carrying
values of assets and liabilities and the results of operations of the
Company.
The
allowance for losses on loans represents management's best estimate of probable
losses in the existing loan portfolio. The allowance for losses on loans is
increased by the provision for losses on loans charged to expense and reduced by
loans charged off, net of recoveries.
The
provision for losses on loans is determined based on management's assessment of
several factors: reviews and evaluations of specific loans, changes in the
nature and volume of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions and the
related impact on specific borrowers and industry groups, historical loan loss
experience, the level of classified and nonperforming loans and the results of
regulatory examinations.
Integral
to the methodology for determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses
is portfolio segmentation and impairment measurement. Under the Company's
methodology, loans are first segmented into 1) those comprising large groups of
smaller-balance homogeneous loans, including single-family mortgages and
installment loans, which are collectively evaluated for impairment and 2) all
other loans which are individually evaluated. Those loans in the second category
are further segmented utilizing a defined grading system which involves
categorizing loans by severity of risk based on conditions that may affect the
ability of the borrowers to repay their debt, such as current financial
information, collateral valuations, historical payment experience, credit
documentation, public information, and current trends. The loans subject to
credit classification represent the portion of the portfolio subject to the
greatest credit risk and where adjustments to the allowance for losses on loans
as a result of provisions and charge-offs are most likely to have a significant
impact on operations.
A
periodic review of selected credits (based on loan size and type) is conducted
to identify loans with heightened risk or probable losses and to assign risk
grades. The primary responsibility for this review rests with the loan
administration personnel. This review is supplemented with periodic examinations
of both selected credits and the credit review process by applicable regulatory
agencies. The information from these reviews assists management in the timely
identification of problems and potential problems and provides a basis for
deciding whether the credit represents a probable loss or risk that should be
recognized.
Loans
are considered impaired if, based on current information and events, it is
probable that Southern Bank will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of
principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan
agreement. The measurement of impaired loans is generally based on the fair
value of the collateral for collateral-dependent loans. If the loan is not
collateral-dependent, the measurement of impairment is based on the present
value of expected future cash flows discounted at the historical effective
interest rate or the observable market price of the loan. In measuring the fair
value of the collateral, management uses the assumptions (i.e., discount rates)
and methodologies (i.e., comparison to the recent selling price of similar
assets) consistent with those that would be utilized by unrelated third parties.
Impairment identified through this evaluation process is a component of the
allowance for loan losses. If a loan is not considered impaired, it is grouped
together with loans having similar characteristics (i.e., the same risk grade),
and an allowance for loan losses is based upon a quantitative factor (historical
average charge-offs for similar loans over the past one to five years), and
qualitative factors such as qualitative factors such as changes in lending
policies; national, regional, and local economic conditions; changes in mix and
volume of portfolio; experience, ability, and depth of lending management and
staff; entry to new markets; levels and trends of delinquent, nonaccrual,
special mention, and classified loans; concentrations of credit; changes in
collateral values; agricultural economic conditions; and regulatory risk. For
portfolio loans that are evaluated for impairment as part of homogenous pools,
an allowance is maintained based upon similar quantitative and qualitative
factors. Changes in the financial condition of individual borrowers, in economic
conditions, in historical loss experience and in the conditions of the various
markets in which collateral may be sold may all affect the required level of the
allowance for losses on loans and the associated provision for losses on
loans.
57
FINANCIAL
CONDITION
General.
The Company experienced balance sheet growth in fiscal 2015, with total
assets increasing $278.6 million, or 27.3%, to $1.3 billion at June 30, 2015, as
compared to $1.0 billion at June 30, 2014. Balance sheet growth was primarily
due to the August 2014 Peoples Acquisition, as well as organic loan growth.
Balance sheet growth was funded primarily with acquired deposit balances and
organic deposit growth.
Cash
and equivalents. Cash equivalents and time deposits were up $2.1 million,
or 12.9%, as compared to June 30, 2014, due primarily to the Peoples
Acquisition.
Loans.
Loans, net of the allowance for loan losses, increased $252.1 million, or 31.5%,
to $1.1 billion at June 30, 2015, as compared to $801.1 million at June 30,
2014. The increase was primarily attributable to the Peoples Acquisition, which
included the acquisition of $190.4 million in loans, at fair value. Including
acquired loans, the increase in balances occurred mainly in the commercial real
estate loan, residential real estate loan, and commercial loan portfolios.
Allowance
for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses increased $3.0 million, or
32.8%, to $12.3 million at June 30, 2015, from $9.3 million at June 30, 2014.
The allowance represented 1.15% of gross loans receivable at June 30, 2015, as
compared to 1.14% of gross loans receivable at June 30, 2014. The small increase
in the allowance as a percentage of gross loans receivable was attributable to
provisioning for loan losses at a higher rate than net charge-offs, mostly
offset by the addition of loans subject to purchase accounting resulting from
the Peoples Acquisition. See also, Provision for Loan Losses, under Comparison
of Operating Results for the Years Ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.
In
its quarterly evaluation of the adequacy of its allowance for loan losses, the
Company employs historical data, including past due percentages, charge offs,
and recoveries for the previous one to five years for each loan category.
Average net charge offs are calculated as net charge offs for the period by
portfolio type as a percentage of the average balance of the respective
portfolio type over the same period. The Company believes that it is prudent to
emphasize more recent historical factors in the allowance evaluation.
The
following table sets forth the Company's historical net charge offs as of June
30, 2015:

Additionally,
in its quarterly evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses,
the Company evaluates changes in the financial condition of individual
borrowers; changes in local, regional, and national economic conditions; the
Company's historical loss experience; and changes in market conditions for
property pledged to the Company as collateral. The Company has identified
specific qualitative factors that address these issues and subjectively assigns
a percentage to each factor. Qualitative factors are reviewed quarterly and may
be adjusted as necessary to reflect improving or declining trends. At June 30,
2015, these qualitative factors included:
· | Changes in lending policies |
· | National, regional, and local economic conditions |
· | Changes in mix and volume of portfolio |
· | Experience, ability, and depth of lending management and staff |
· | Entry to new markets |
· | Levels and trends of delinquent, nonaccrual, special mention and classified loans |
· | Concentrations of credit |
· | Changes in collateral values |
· | Agricultural economic conditions |
· | Regulatory risk |

At
June 30, 2015, the amount of our allowance for loan losses attributable to these
qualitative factors was approximately $10.8 million, as compared to $8.6 million
at June 30, 2014. The general increase in qualitative factors related to
construction, consumer, and commercial lending was attributable to significant
loan growth, including growth in markets where the Company has less historical
data, while qualitative factors related to residential lending decreased
slightly as a result of improving occupancy rates in non-owner occupied
properties including multi-family properties.
Investments.
The available-for-sale (AFS) investment portfolio decreased $629,000, or
0.5%, to $129.6 million at June 30, 2015, as compared to $130.2 million at June
30, 2014. The decrease was the result of AFS securities sold, repaid, and
matured, mostly offset by securities obtained in the Peoples Acquisition,
consisting primarily of MBS.
Premises
and Equipment. Premises and equipment increased $17.3 million, or 76.8%,
to $39.7 million at June 30, 2015, as compared to $22.5 million at June 30,
2014. The increase was due primarily to premises and equipment obtained in the
Peoples Acquisition, work in progress on a new corporate headquarters, and new
space being finished for a leased office, and the purchase of software and
equipment, partially offset by increases in accumulated depreciation.
BOLI.
The Bank purchased "key person" life insurance policies on employees in
fiscal 2003 and fiscal 2005 for original premiums totaling $6.0 million. In
fiscal 2012, the Bank purchased additional "key person" life insurance policies
for original premiums totaling $7.5 million. In fiscal 2014, the Bank acquired
$2.1 million in additional "key person" life insurance as part of the Citizens
State Bank acquisition. At June 30, 2015, the cash surrender value of
these policies had increased to $19.7 million.
Intangible
Assets. Intangible assets generated through branch acquisitions in fiscal
2000 decreased by $255,000, to $51,000 as of June 30, 2015, and will continue to
be amortized in accordance with ASC Topic 350. The July 2009 acquisition of the
Southern Bank of Commerce resulted in goodwill of $126,000, which will not be
amortized, but will be tested for impairment at least annually. The December
2010 assumption of deposits of the former First Southern Bank resulted in a
$625,000 core deposit intangible, which is being amortized over a five-year
period using the straight-line method. The October 2013 acquisition of
Ozarks Legacy resulted in goodwill of $1.5 million, which will not be amortized,
but will be tested for impairment at least annually, and a $1.4 million core
deposit intangible, which is being amortized over a five-year period using the
straight-line method. The February 2014 acquisition of Citizens resulted
in a $624,000 core deposit intangible, which is being amortized over a five-year
period using the straight-line method. The August 2014 Peoples Acquisition
resulted in goodwill of $3.0 million, which will not be amortized, but will be
tested for impairment at least annually, and a $3.0 million core deposit
intangible, which is being amortized over a six-year period using the
straight-line method.
Deposits.
Deposits increased $269.4 million, or 34.3%, to $1.1 billion at June 30,
2015, as compared to $785.8 million at June 30, 2014. The increase was primarily
attributable to the Peoples Acquisition, which included $222.2 million in
deposits, at fair value. The increase consisted of certificates of deposit,
interest-bearing transaction accounts, noninterest-bearing checking accounts,
and money market deposit accounts. The average loan-to-deposit ratio for the
fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 was 99.3%, as compared to 99.5% for the same
period of the prior fiscal year.
59
Borrowings.
FHLB advances were $64.8 million at June 30, 2015, a decrease of $20.7
million, or 24.2%, as compared to $85.5 million at June 30, 2014. The decrease
was attributable primarily to the repayment of overnight borrowings utilizing
cash equivalents obtained in the Peoples Acquisition, the sale of AFS
securities, and deposit growth, and was partially offset by the assumption of
longer-term advances, totaling $16.0 million, at fair value, in the Peoples
Acquisition. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase totaled $27.3
million at June 30, 2015, as compared to $25.6 million at June 30, 2014, an
increase of 6.9%. At both dates, the full balance of repurchase agreements was
due to local small business and government counterparties.
Subordinated
Debt. In March 2004, $7.0 million of Floating Rate Capital Securities of
Southern Missouri Statutory Trust I, with a liquidation value of $1,000 per
share were issued. The securities mature in March 2034, have been redeemable
since March 2009, and bear interest at a floating rate of three-month LIBOR
plus 275 basis points. In connection with its October 2013 acquisition of
Ozarks Legacy, the Company assumed $3.1 million in floating rate junior
subordinated debt securities. The debt securities had been issued in June 2005
by Ozarks Legacy in connection with the sale of trust preferred securities, bear
interest at a floating rate based on LIBOR, are now redeemable at par, and
mature in 2035. The carrying value of these debt securities was approximately
$2.5 million at June 30, 2015 and 2014. In connection with the Peoples
Acquisition, the Company assumed $6.5 million in floating rate junior
subordinated debt securities. The debt securities had been issued in 2005 by
Peoples, in connection with the sale of trust preferred securities, bear
interest at a floating rate based on LIBOR, are now redeemable at par, and
mature in 2035. The carrying value of these debt securities was approximately
$4.9 million at June 30, 2015.
Stockholders'
Equity. The Company's stockholders' equity increased $21.5 million, or
19.4%, to $132.6 million at June 30, 2015, from $111.1 million at June 30, 2014.
The increase was due primarily to the issuance of shares of Company common stock
in the Peoples Acquisition, as well as retention of net income and an increase
in accumulated other comprehensive income, partially offset by dividends paid on
common and preferred stock.
COMPARISON
OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2015 AND 2014
Net
Income. The Company's net income available to common stockholders for the
fiscal year ended June 30, 2015, was $13.5 million, an increase of $3.6 million,
or 36.3%, from the $9.9 million available to common stockholders for the prior
fiscal year. Before a dividend on preferred shares of $200,000, net income was
$13.7 million for the 2015 fiscal year, as compared to $10.1 million in net
income for the prior fiscal year.
Net
Interest Income. Net interest income for fiscal 2015 was $46.5 million,
an increase of $13.5 million, or 41.1%, when compared to the prior fiscal year.
The increase, as compared to the prior fiscal year, was attributable to a 36.9%
increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets, primarily from the
Peoples Acquisition, combined with an increase in the net interest margin, from
3.81% to 3.92%. Accretion of fair value discount on loans and amortization of
fair value premiums on time deposits related to the Fiscal 2011 Acquisition
declined from $632,000 in fiscal 2014, to $288,000 in fiscal 2015. This
component of net interest income contributed an additional two basis points to
the net interest margin in fiscal 2015, as compared to seven basis points in
fiscal 2014. Accretion of fair value discount on loans and amortization of fair
value premiums on time deposits related to the Peoples Acquisition was $2.1
million in fiscal 2015, with no comparable impact in the prior fiscal year. This
component of net interest income contributed an additional 15 basis points to
the net interest margin in fiscal 2015. The Company expects the impact of the
fair value discount accretion to continue to decline over time, as the assets
acquired at a discount continue to mature or prepay. Purchase accounting
adjustments related to other acquisitions closed by the Company in recent
periods have had a less significant impact on net interest income.
Interest
Income. Interest income for fiscal 2015 was $55.3 million, an increase of
$14.8 million, or 36.6%, when compared to the prior fiscal year. The increase
was due to an increase of $319.4 million in the average balance of
interest-earning assets, primarily from the Peoples Acquisition, partially
offset by a one basis point decrease in the average yield earned on
interest-earning assets, from 4.67% in fiscal 2014, to 4.66% in fiscal
2015.
Interest
income on loans receivable for fiscal 2015 was $51.5 million, an increase of
$14.0 million, or 37.2%, when compared to the prior fiscal year. The increase
was due to a $280.5 million increase in the average balance of loans receivable,
partially offset by a three basis point decrease in the average yield earned on
loans receivable. Accretion of fair value discount on loans attributable to the
Fiscal 2011 Acquisition declined from $598,000 in fiscal 2014 to $260,000 in
fiscal 2015. Accretion of fair value discount on loans attributable to the
Peoples Acquisition was $1.8 million in fiscal 2015, with no comparable impact
in fiscal 2014.
Interest
income on the investment portfolio and other interest-earning assets was $3.8
million for fiscal 2015, an increase of $867,000, or 29.7%, when compared to the
prior fiscal year. The increase was due to a $38.9
60
million
increase in the average balance of these assets, partially offset by a one basis
point decrease in the average yield earned on these assets.
Interest
Expense. Interest expense was $8.8 million for fiscal 2015, an increase
of $1.3 million, or 17.1%, when compared to the prior fiscal year. The increase
was due to the $269.4 million increase in the average balance of
interest-bearing liabilities, partially offset by a 14 basis point decrease in
the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities, from 0.99% in fiscal 2014
to 0.85% in fiscal 2015.
Interest
expense on deposits was $6.9 million for fiscal 2015, an increase of $896,000,
or 15.0%, when compared to the prior fiscal year. The increase was due to the
$241.9 million increase in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits,
partially offset by a 14 basis point decrease in the average rate paid on
deposits outstanding, reflecting the repricing of deposits at lower market
rates.
Interest
expense on FHLB advances was $1.3 million for fiscal 2015, an increase of
$192,000, or 17.7%, when compared to the prior fiscal year. The increase was due
to a $21.5 million increase in the average balance of FHLB advances, partially
offset by a 25 basis point decrease in the average rate paid on the
advances.
Provision
for Loan Losses. A provision for loan losses is charged to earnings to
bring the total allowance for loan losses to a level considered adequate by
management to provide for probable loan losses based on prior loss experience,
type and amount of loans in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect
the borrower's ability to repay, the estimated value of any underlying
collateral, and current economic conditions. Management also considers other
factors relating to the collectability of the loan portfolio.
The
provision for loan losses was $3.2 million for fiscal 2015, compared to $1.6
million for the prior fiscal year. The increase in provision was attributed to
management's analysis of the loan portfolio. The analysis noted increased
balances of loans subject to allowance methodology, as acquired loan balances
initially subject to purchase accounting are replaced over time. In fiscal 2015,
net charge offs were $146,000, compared to $773,000 for the prior fiscal year.
At June 30, 2015, classified loans totaled $14.8 million, or 1.39% of gross
loans, as compared to $7.0 million, or 0.87% of gross loans, at June 30, 2014.
Classified loans were comprised primarily of commercial and residential real
estate. At June 30, 2015, classified loans included $4.3 million in purchased
credit impaired loans obtained in the Peoples Acquisition. All loans so
designated were classified due to concerns as to the borrowers' ability to
continue to generate sufficient cash flows to service the debt.
The
above provision was made based on management's analysis of the various factors
which affect the loan portfolio and management's desire to maintain the
allowance at a level considered adequate. Management performed a detailed
analysis of the loan portfolio, including types of loans, the charge-off
history, and an analysis of the allowance for loan losses. Management also
considered the continued origination of loans secured by commercial businesses
and commercial and agricultural real estate, which bear an inherently higher
level of credit risk. While management believes the allowance for loan losses at
June 30, 2015, is adequate to cover all losses inherent in the portfolio, there
can be no assurance that, in the future, increases in the allowance will not be
necessary, or that actual losses will not exceed the allowance.
Noninterest
Income. Noninterest income was $8.7 million for fiscal 2015, an increase
of $2.5 million, or 41.2%, when compared to the prior fiscal year. The
increase was attributed primarily to bank card interchange income, deposit
account service charges, loan late charges, loan servicing fees and other loan
fees, and gains realized on secondary market loan originations, partially offset
by lower gains on sales of AFS securities. Generally, higher noninterest income
levels are the result of additional deposit and loan relationships served by the
Company as a result of the Fiscal 2014 Acquisitions and the Peoples Acquisition,
which closed in the first quarter of fiscal 2015. Additionally, the Company is
realizing benefits from a December increase in the Bank's NSF fee and the Bank's
new debit card processing contract, which was entered into at the beginning
fiscal 2015.
Noninterest
Expense. Noninterest expense was $32.3 million for fiscal 2015, an
increase of $8.6 million, or 36.5%, when compared to the prior fiscal year. In
total, the increases in noninterest expense were attributable to employee
compensation and benefits, occupancy, amortization of core deposit intangibles,
advertising, and other expenses, partially offset by declines in legal and
professional fees, and bankcard network expense. Generally, higher
noninterest expense levels are the result of growth in the Company's locations
and employee count, as a result of the Fiscal 2014 Acquisitions and the Peoples
Acquisition, which closed in the first quarter of fiscal 2015. Fiscal 2015
results included $508,000 in merger-related charges, compared to $1.2 million in
such charges recognized in fiscal 2014. Additionally, during fiscal 2014, the
Company incurred a charge of $376,000 for liquidated damages resulting from the
early termination of its debit card processing contract.
61
Provision
for Income Taxes. The Company recorded an income tax provision of $6.1
million for fiscal 2015, an increase of $2.3 million as compared to the $3.7
million expensed for fiscal 2014. The effective tax rate for fiscal 2015 was
30.7%, as compared to 27.1% for fiscal 2014. The increase in the effective tax
rate was attributable primarily to an increase in pre-tax income and average
assets, without corresponding increases in tax-advantaged income and
investments, as well as an increase in non-deductible expenses.
COMPARISON
OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2014 AND 2013
Net
Income. The Company's net income available to common stockholders for the
fiscal year ended June 30, 2014, was $9.9 million, an increase of $159,000, or
1.6%, from the $9.7 million available to common stockholders for the prior
fiscal year. Before an effective dividend on preferred shares of $200,000, net
income was $10.1 million for the 2014 fiscal year, unchanged from the $10.1
million in net income for the prior fiscal year. Exclusive of fair value
discount accretion on acquired loans and amortization of fair value premium on
acquired time deposits related to the Fiscal 2011 Acquisition, net of tax, net
income available to common stockholders for fiscal 2014 was $9.7 million, as
compared to $8.8 million for fiscal 2013.
Net
Interest Income. Net interest income for fiscal 2014 was $33.0 million,
an increase of $4.2 million, or 14.6%, when compared to the prior fiscal year.
The increase, as compared to the prior fiscal year, was attributable to a 21.0%
increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets, primarily from the
Fiscal 2014 Acquisitions, partially offset by a decline in the net interest
margin, from 4.02% to 3.81%. Accretion of fair value discount on loans and
amortization of fair value premiums on time deposits related to the Fiscal 2011
Acquisition declined from $1.4 million in fiscal 2013 to $632,000 in fiscal
2014. This component of net interest income contributed seven basis points to
net interest margin in fiscal 2014, as compared to 20 basis points in fiscal
2013. The Company expects the impact of the fair value discount accretion to
continue to decline, over time, as the assets acquired at a discount continue to
mature or prepay.
Interest
Income. Interest income for fiscal 2014 was $40.5 million, an increase of
$4.2 million, or 11.5%, when compared to the prior fiscal year. The increase was
due to an increase of $150.4 million in the average balance of interest-earning
assets, primarily from the Fiscal 2014 Acquisitions, partially offset by a 40
basis point decrease in the average yield earned on interest-earning assets,
from 5.07% in fiscal 2013, to 4.67% in fiscal 2014.
Interest
income on loans receivable for fiscal 2014 was $37.6 million, an increase of
$3.2 million, or 9.3%, when compared to the prior fiscal year. The increase was
due to a $117.6 million increase in the average balance of loans receivable,
partially offset by a 45 basis point decrease in the average yield earned on
loans receivable. Accretion of fair value discount on loans attributable to the
Fiscal 2011 Acquisition declined from $1.4 million in fiscal 2013 to $632,000 in
fiscal 2014.
Interest
income on the investment portfolio and other interest-earning assets was $2.9
million for fiscal 2014, an increase of $983,000, or 50.7%, when compared to the
prior fiscal year. The increase was due to a $32.8 million increase in the
average balance of these assets, combined with a 25 basis point increase in the
average yield earned on these assets, as the Company shifted asset balances from
excess reserves to relatively higher-yielding other investments, and acquired
securities in a more favorable rate environment.
Interest
Expense. Interest expense was $7.5 million for fiscal 2014, a decrease of
$16,000, or 0.2%, when compared to the prior fiscal year. The decrease was due
to a 23 basis point decrease in the average rate paid on interest-bearing
liabilities, from 1.22% in fiscal 2013 to 0.99% in fiscal 2014, mostly offset by
the $144.7 million increase in the average balance of interest-bearing
liabilities.
Interest
expense on deposits was $6.0 million for fiscal 2014, a decrease of $110,000, or
1.8%, when compared to the prior fiscal year. The decrease was due to a 21 basis
point decrease in the average rate paid on deposits outstanding, reflecting the
decrease in market rates, mostly offset by a $117.2 million increase in the
average balance of interest-bearing deposits.
Interest
expense on FHLB advances was $1.1 million for fiscal 2014, an increase of
$86,000, or 8.6%, when compared to the prior fiscal year. The increase was due
to a $28.6 million increase in the average balance of FHLB advances, partially
offset by a 145 basis point decrease in the average rate paid on the
advances.
Provision
for Loan Losses. A provision for loan losses is charged to earnings to
bring the total allowance for loan losses to a level considered adequate by
management to provide for probable loan losses based on prior loss experience,
type and amount of loans in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect
the borrower's ability to
62
repay,
the estimated value of any underlying collateral, and current economic
conditions. Management also considers other factors relating to the
collectability of the loan portfolio.
The
provision for loan losses was $1.6 million for fiscal 2014, compared to $1.7
million for the prior fiscal year. The decrease in provision was attributed to
management's analysis of the loan portfolio. The analysis noted reduced levels
of net charge offs and nonperforming loans and stable levels of classified
loans, partially offset by an increase in past due loans. In fiscal 2014, net
charge offs were $773,000, compared to $822,000 for the prior fiscal year. At
June 30, 2014, classified loans totaled $7.0 million, or 0.87% of gross loans,
as compared to $5.5 million, or 0.84% of gross loans, at June 30, 2013.
Classified loans were comprised primarily of commercial real estate loans,
residential real estate loans, and commercial loans. All loans so designated
were classified due to concerns as to the borrowers' ability to continue to
generate sufficient cash flows to service the debt.
The
above provision was made based on management's analysis of the various factors
which affect the loan portfolio and management's desire to maintain the
allowance at a level considered adequate. Management performed a detailed
analysis of the loan portfolio, including types of loans, the charge-off
history, and an analysis of the allowance for loan losses. Management also
considered the continued origination of loans secured by commercial businesses
and commercial and agricultural real estate, which bear an inherently higher
level of credit risk. While management believes the allowance for loan losses at
June 30, 2014, is adequate to cover all losses inherent in the portfolio, there
can be no assurance that, in the future, increases in the allowance will not be
necessary, or that actual losses will not exceed the allowance.
Noninterest
Income. Noninterest income was $6.1 million for fiscal 2014, an increase
of $1.7 million, or 37.2%, when compared to the prior fiscal year. The increase
was attributed primarily to increased deposit account charges and fees
(resulting from transaction account growth and increased NSF activity),
increased bank card interchange income, gains on sales of residential loans into
the secondary market, increased loan fees, and gains on sales of AFS securities.
Deposit account charges and fees, bank card interchange income, and gains on
sales of residential loans all improved somewhat due to the Fiscal 2014
Acquisitions.
Noninterest
Expense. Noninterest expense was $23.6 million for fiscal 2014, an
increase of $6.1 million, or 35.0%, when compared to the prior fiscal year.
Fiscal 2014 results included $1.2 million in merger-related charges related to
the completed Fiscal 2014 Acquisitions and the pending acquisition of Peoples
Service Company, with no corresponding charges in fiscal 2013. Additionally, the
Company incurred a charge of $376,000 in fiscal 2014 due to the termination of
its existing bank card processing contract. In total, the increases in
noninterest expense were attributable to employee compensation and benefits,
occupancy, legal and professional fees, bank card interchange expense,
advertising, telecommunications, internet banking charges, and additional
amortization of corer deposit intangibles resulting from the Fiscal 2014
Acquisitions. Compensation and benefits, occupancy, advertising,
telecommunications, and internet banking charges were increased, in part, due to
the Company's expanded footprint and customer base resulting from the Fiscal
2014 Acquisitions.
Provision
for Income Taxes. The Company recorded an income tax provision of $3.7
million for fiscal 2014, a decrease of $209,000, as compared to $4.0 million
expensed for fiscal 2013. The effective tax rate for fiscal 2014 was 27.1%, as
compared to 28.1% for fiscal 2013. The decrease in the effective tax rate was
attributable to additional tax-advantaged investments in municipal securities
and limited partnerships which generate tax credits, as well as lower pre-tax
income in fiscal 2014.
LIQUIDITY
AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Southern
Missouri's primary potential sources of funds include deposit growth, securities
sold under agreements to repurchase, FHLB advances, amortization and prepayment
of loan principal, investment maturities and sales, and ongoing operating
results. While scheduled repayments on loans and securities as well as the
maturity of short-term investments are a relatively predictable source of
funding, deposit flows, FHLB advance redemptions and loan and security
prepayment rates are significantly influenced by factors outside of the Bank's
control, including general economic conditions and market competition. The Bank
has relied on FHLB advances as a source for funding cash or liquidity
needs.
Southern
Missouri uses its liquid assets as well as other funding sources to meet ongoing
commitments, to fund loan demand, to repay maturing certificates of deposit and
FHLB advances, to make investments, to fund other deposit withdrawals and to
meet operating expenses. At June 30, 2015, the Bank had outstanding commitments
to extend credit of $130.6 million (including $94.0 million in unused lines of
credit). Total commitments to originate fixed-rate loans with terms in excess of
one year were $16.8 million at rates ranging from 2.95% to 10.50%, with a
63
weighted-average
rate of 4.56%. Management anticipates that current funding sources will be
adequate to meet foreseeable liquidity needs.
For
the year ended June 30, 2015, Southern Missouri increased deposits and
securities sold under agreements to repurchase by $269.4 million and $1.8
million, respectively, and reduced FHLB advances by $20.7 million. During the
prior year, Southern Missouri increased deposits and FHLB advances by $153.9
million and $61.0 million, respectively, and reduced securities sold under
agreements to repurchase by $2.2 million. At June 30, 2015, the Bank had pledged
$525.5 million of its single-family residential and commercial real estate loan
portfolios to the FHLB for available credit of approximately $371.4 million, of
which $64.0 million had been advanced, while none had been used for the issuance
of letters of credit to secure public unit deposits. Subsequent to June 30,
2015, a determination by the FHLB regarding eligibility pursuant to a periodic
mortgage collateral verification reduced the amount of available credit to
$238.7 million, still well in excess of the amount advanced. The Bank had
also pledged $130.6 million of its agricultural real estate and agricultural
operating and equipment loans to the Federal Reserve's discount window for
available credit of approximately $87.5 million, as of June 30, 2015, none of
which had been advanced. In addition, the Bank has the ability to pledge several
of its other loan portfolios, including, for example, its multifamily
residential real estate, home equity, or commercial business loans. In total,
FHLB borrowings are generally limited to 35% of Bank assets, or approximately
$453.6 million as most recently reported to the FHLB on June 30, 2015, which
means that an amount up to $389.6 million may still be eligible to be borrowed
from the FHLB, subject to available collateral. Along with the ability to borrow
from the FHLB and Federal Reserve, management believes its liquid resources will
be sufficient to meet the Company's liquidity needs.
Liquidity
management is an ongoing responsibility of the Bank's management. The Bank
adjusts its investment in liquid assets based upon a variety of factors
including (i) expected loan demand and deposit flows, (ii) anticipated
investment and FHLB advance maturities, (iii) the impact on profitability, and
(iv) asset/liability management objectives.
At
June 30, 2015, the Bank had $245.3 million in CDs maturing within one year and
$680.5 million in other deposits and securities sold under agreements to
repurchase without a specified maturity, as compared to the prior year of $207.4
million in CDs maturing within one year and $488.2 million in other deposits and
securities sold under agreements to repurchase without a specified maturity.
Management believes that most maturing interest-bearing liabilities will be
retained or replaced by new interest-bearing liabilities. Also at June 30, 2015,
the Bank had $23.5 million in overnight advances from the FHLB, and $40.0
million in FHLB advances eligible for early redemption by the lender within one
year.
REGULATORY
CAPITAL
Federally
insured financial institutions are required to maintain minimum levels of
regulatory capital. Federal Reserve regulations establish capital requirements,
including a tier 1 leverage (or core capital) requirement and risk-based capital
requirements. The Federal Reserve is also authorized to impose capital
requirements in excess of these standards on individual institutions on a
case-by-case basis.
At
June 30, 2015, the Bank exceeded regulatory capital requirements with tier 1
leverage, total risk-based capital, and tangible common equity capital of $136.7
million, $149.7 million and $136.7 million, respectively. The Bank's tier 1
capital represented 10.65% of total adjusted assets and 12.62% of total
risk-weighted assets, while total risk-based capital was 13.82% of total
risk-weighted assets, and tangible common equity capital was 12.62% of total
risk-weighted assets. To be considered adequately capitalized, the Bank must
maintain tier 1 leverage capital levels of at least 4.0% of adjusted total
assets and 6.0% of risk-weighted assets, total risk-based capital of 8.0% of
risk-weighted assets, and tangible common equity capital of 4.5%. To be
considered well capitalized, the Bank must maintain tier 1 leverage capital
levels of at least 5.0% of adjusted total assets and 8.0% of risk-weighted
assets, total risk-based capital of 10.0% of risk-weighted assets, and tangible
common equity capital of 6.5%.
At
June 30, 2015, the Company exceeded regulatory capital requirements with tier 1
leverage, total risk-based capital, and tangible common equity capital of $141.2
million, $154.2 million and $107.0 million, respectively. The Company's tier 1
capital represented 10.98% of total adjusted assets and 13.02% of total
risk-weighted assets, while total risk-based capital was 14.22% of total
risk-weighted assets, and tangible common equity capital was 9.88% of total
risk-weighted assets. To be considered adequately capitalized, the Company must
maintain tier 1 leverage capital levels of at least 4.0% of adjusted total
assets and 6.0% of risk-weighted assets, total risk-based capital of 8.0% of
risk-weighted assets, and tangible common equity capital of 4.5%.

IMPACT
OF INFLATION
The
consolidated financial statements and related data presented herein have been
prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which
require the measurement of financial position and operating results in
historical dollars without considering changes in the relative purchasing power
of money over time due to inflation. The primary impact of inflation on the
operations of the Company is reflected in increased operating costs. Unlike most
industrial companies, virtually all of the assets and liabilities of a financial
institution are monetary in nature. As a result, changes in interest rates
generally have a more significant impact on a financial institution's
performance than does inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the
same direction or to the same extent as the prices of goods and services. In the
current interest rate environment, liquidity and maturity structure of the
Company's assets and liabilities are critical to the maintenance of acceptable
performance levels.
AVERAGE
BALANCE, INTEREST AND AVERAGE YIELDS AND RATES
The
table on the following page sets forth certain information relating to the
Company's average interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and
reflects the average yield on assets and the average cost of liabilities for the
periods indicated. These yields and costs are derived by dividing income or
expense by the average balance of assets or liabilities, respectively, for the
years indicated. Nonaccrual loans are included in the net loan category.
The
table also presents information with respect to the difference between the
weighted-average yield earned on interest-earning assets and the
weighted-average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities, or interest rate
spread, which financial institutions have traditionally used as an indicator of
profitability. Another indicator of an institution's net interest income is its
net yield on interest-earning assets, which is its net interest income divided
by the average balance of interest-earning assets. Net interest income is
affected by the interest rate spread and by the relative amounts of
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. When interest-earning
assets approximate or exceed interest-bearing liabilities, any positive interest
rate spread will generate net interest income.

Quantitative
and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The
goal of the Company's asset/liability management strategy is to manage the
interest rate sensitivity of both interest-earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities in order to maximize net interest income without exposing the
Company to an excessive level of interest rate risk. The Company employs various
strategies intended to manage the potential effect that changing interest rates
may have on future operating results. The primary asset/liability management
strategy has been to focus on matching the anticipated repricing intervals of
interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. At times, however,
depending on the level of general interest rates, the relationship between long-
and short-term interest rates, market conditions and competitive factors, the
Company may increase its interest rate risk position in order to maintain its
net interest margin.
In
an effort to manage the interest rate risk resulting from fixed rate lending,
the Company has utilized longer term (up to 10 year maturities), fixed-rate FHLB
advances, which may be subject to early redemption, to offset interest rate
risk. Other elements of the Company's current asset/liability strategy include:
(i) increasing originations of commercial real estate, commercial business
loans, agricultural real estate, and agricultural operating lines, which
typically provide higher yields and shorter repricing periods, but inherently
increase credit risk, (ii) limiting the price volatility of the investment
portfolio by maintaining a weighted average maturity of five years or less,
(iii) actively soliciting less rate-sensitive deposits, and (iv) offering
competitively priced money market accounts and CDs with maturities of up to five
years. The degree to which each segment of the strategy is achieved will affect
profitability and exposure to interest rate risk.
The
Company continues to generate long-term, fixed-rate residential loans. During
the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015, fixed rate residential loan originations
totaled $34.9 million (of which $16.6 million was originated for sale into the
secondary market), compared to $32.7 million during the prior year (of which
$15.5 million was originated for sale into the secondary market). At June 30,
2015, the fixed-rate residential loan portfolio totaled $137.4 million, with a
weighted average maturity of 123 months, compared to $105.5 million with a
weighted average maturity of 171 months at June 30, 2014. The Company originated
$32.0 million in adjustable rate residential loans during the fiscal year ended
June 30, 2015, compared to $31.9 million during the prior fiscal year. At June
30, 2014, fixed rate loans with remaining maturities in excess of 10 years
totaled $41.4 million, or 3.9%, of loans receivable, compared to $46.6 million,
or 5.8%, of loans receivable, at June 30, 2013. The Company originated $189.2
million in fixed rate commercial and commercial real estate loans during the
year ended June 30, 2015, compared to $113.0 million during the prior fiscal
year. The Company also originated $48.4 million in adjustable rate commercial
and commercial real estate loans during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015,
compared to $68.3 million during the prior year. At June 30, 2015,
adjustable-rate home equity lines of credit increased to $23.5 million, compared
to $17.9 million as of June 30, 2014. At June 30, 2015, the Company's weighted
average life of its investment portfolio was 4.0 years, compared to 5.0 years at
June 30, 2014. At June 30, 2015, CDs with original terms of two years or more
totaled $213.5 million, compared to $163.8 million at June 30, 2014.
INTEREST
RATE SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS
The
following table sets forth as of June 30, 2015 and 2014, management's estimates
of the projected changes in net portfolio value in the event of 1%, 2% and 3%,
instantaneous, permanent increases or decreases in market interest rates.
Computations
in the table below are based on prospective effects of hypothetical changes in
interest rates and are based on an internally generated model using the actual
maturity and repricing schedules for Southern Bank's loans and deposits,
adjusted by management's assumptions for prepayment rates and deposit runoff.
Further, the computations do not consider any reactions that the Bank may
undertake in response to changes in interest rates. These projected changes
should not be relied upon as indicative of actual results in any of the
aforementioned interest rate changes.
68
Management
cannot accurately predict future interest rates or their effect on the Company's
NPV and net interest income in the future. Certain shortcomings are inherent in
the method of analysis presented in the computation of NPV and net interest
income. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar
maturities or periods of repricing, they may react in different degrees to
changes in market interest rates. Also, the interest rates on certain types of
assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest
rates, while interest rates on other types of assets and liabilities may lag
behind changes in market interest rates. Additionally, most of Southern Bank's
loans have features which restrict changes in interest rates on a short-term
basis and over the life of the asset. Further, in the event of a change in
interest rates, prepayment and early withdrawal levels would likely deviate
significantly from those assumed in calculating the foregoing table. Finally,
the ability of many borrowers to service their debt may decrease in the event of
an interest rate increase.

The
Company has worked to limit its exposure to rising rates in the current
historically low rate environment by (a) increasing the share of funding on its
balance sheet obtained from non-maturity transaction accounts, (b) reducing FHLB
borrowings and (c) limiting the duration of its available-for-sale
investment portfolio.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS <
Southern
Missouri Bancorp, Inc.
NOTE
1: Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization.
Southern Missouri Bancorp, Inc., a Missouri corporation (the Company) was
organized in 1994 and is the parent company of Southern Bank (the Bank).
Substantially all of the Company's consolidated revenues are derived from the
operations of the Bank, and the Bank represents substantially all of the
Company's consolidated assets and liabilities.
The
Bank is primarily engaged in providing a full range of banking and financial
services to individuals and corporate customers in its market areas. The Bank
and Company are subject to competition from other financial institutions. The
Bank and Company are subject to the regulation of certain federal and state
agencies and undergo periodic examinations by those regulatory
authorities.
Basis
of Financial Statement Presentation. The financial statements of the
Company have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America and general practices within the
banking industry. In the normal course of business, the Company encounters two
significant types of risk: economic and regulatory. Economic risk is comprised
of interest rate risk, credit risk, and market risk. The Company is subject to
interest rate risk to the degree that its interest-bearing liabilities reprice
on a different basis than its interest-earning assets. Credit risk is the risk
of default on the Company's investment or loan portfolios resulting from the
borrowers' inability or unwillingness to make contractually required payments.
Market risk reflects changes in the value of the investment portfolio,
collateral underlying loans receivable, and the value of the Company's
investments in real estate.
Principles
of Consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, the Bank. All
significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Use
of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
Material
estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change relate to the
determination of the allowance for loan losses, estimated fair values of
purchased loans, other-than-temporary impairments (OTTI), and fair value of
financial instruments.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents. For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash
equivalents includes cash, due from depository institutions and interest-bearing
deposits in other depository institutions with original maturities of three
months or less. Interest-bearing deposits in other depository institutions were
$6.6 million and $8.6 million at June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The
deposits are held in various commercial banks in amounts not exceeding the
FDIC's deposit insurance limits, as well as at the Federal Reserve and the
Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines.
Interest-bearing
Time Deposits. Interest-bearing deposits in banks mature within eight
years and are carried at cost.
Available
for Sale Securities. Available for sale securities, which include any
security for which the Company has no immediate plan to sell but which may be
sold in the future, are carried at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses, net
of tax, are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income, a component of
stockholders' equity. All securities have been classified as available for
sale.
Premiums
and discounts on debt securities are amortized or accreted as adjustments to
income over the estimated life of the security using the level yield method.
Realized gains or losses on the sale of securities is based on the specific
identification method. The fair value of securities is based on quoted market
prices or dealer quotes. If a quoted market price is not available, fair value
is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities.
The
Company does not invest in collateralized mortgage obligations that are
considered high risk.
76
When
the Company does not intend to sell a debt security, and it is more likely than
not the Company will not have to sell the security before recovery of its cost
basis, it recognizes the credit component of an other-than-temporary impairment
of a debt security in earnings and the remaining portion in other comprehensive
income. As a result of this guidance, the Company's consolidated balance
sheet for the dates presented reflects the full impairment (that is, the
difference between the security's amortized cost basis and fair value) on debt
securities that the Company intends to sell or would more likely than not be
required to sell before the expected recovery of the amortized cost basis. For
available-for-sale debt securities that management has no intent to sell and
believes that it more likely than not will not be required to sell prior to
recovery, only the credit loss component of the impairment is recognized in
earnings, while the noncredit loss is recognized in accumulated other
comprehensive income. The credit loss component recognized in earnings is
identified as the amount of principal cash flows not expected to be received
over the remaining term of the security as projected based on cash flow
projections.
Federal
Reserve Bank and Federal Home Loan Bank Stock. The Bank is a member of
the Federal Reserve and the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) systems. Capital stock
of the Federal Reserve and the FHLB is a required investment based upon a
predetermined formula and is carried at cost.
Loans.
Loans are generally stated at unpaid principal balances, less the
allowance for loan losses and net deferred loan origination fees.
Interest
on loans is accrued based upon the principal amount outstanding. The accrual of
interest on loans is discontinued when, in management's judgment, the
collectability of interest or principal in the normal course of business is
doubtful. The Company complies with regulatory guidance which indicates that
loans should be placed in nonaccrual status when 90 days past due, unless the
loan is both well-secured and in the process of collection. A loan that is "in
the process of collection" may be subject to legal action or, in appropriate
circumstances, through other collection efforts reasonably expected to result in
repayment or restoration to current status in the near future. A loan is
considered delinquent when a payment has not been made by the contractual due
date. Interest income previously accrued but not collected at the date a loan is
placed on nonaccrual status is reversed against interest income. Cash receipts
on a nonaccrual loan are applied to principal and interest in accordance with
its contractual terms unless full payment of principal is not expected, in which
case cash receipts, whether designated as principal or interest, are applied as
a reduction of the carrying value of the loan. A nonaccrual loan is generally
returned to accrual status when principal and interest payments are current,
full collectability of principal and interest is reasonably assured, and a
consistent record of performance has been demonstrated.
The
allowance for losses on loans represents management's best estimate of losses
probable in the existing loan portfolio. The allowance for losses on loans is
increased by the provision for losses on loans charged to expense and reduced by
loans charged off, net of recoveries. Loans are charged off in the period deemed
uncollectible, based on management's analysis of expected cash flows (for
non-collateral dependent loans) or collateral value (for collateral-dependent
loans). Subsequent recoveries of loans previously charged off, if any, are
credited to the allowance when received. The provision for losses on loans is
determined based on management's assessment of several factors: reviews and
evaluations of specific loans, changes in the nature and volume of the loan
portfolio, current economic conditions and the related impact on specific
borrowers and industry groups, historical loan loss experience, the level of
classified and nonperforming loans, and the results of regulatory
examinations.
Loans
are considered impaired if, based on current information and events, it is
probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of
principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan
agreement. Depending on a particular loan's circumstances, we measure impairment
of a loan based upon either the present value of expected future cash flows
discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, the loan's observable market
price, or the fair value of the collateral less estimated costs to sell if the
loan is collateral dependent. Valuation allowances are established for
collateral-dependent impaired loans for the difference between the loan amount
and fair value of collateral less estimated selling costs. For impaired loans
that are not collateral dependent, a valuation allowance is established for the
difference between the loan amount and the present value of expected future cash
flows discounted at the historical effective interest rate or the observable
market price of the loan. Impairment losses are recognized through an increase
in the required allowance for loan losses. Cash receipts on loans deemed
impaired are recorded based on the loan's separate status as a nonaccrual loan
or an accrual status loan.
Some
loans are accounted for in accordance with ASC 310-30, Loans and Debt Securities
Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality. For these loans ("purchased credit
impaired loans"), the Company recorded a fair value discount and began carrying
them at book value less their face amount (see Note 4). For these loans, we
determined the contractual amount and timing of undiscounted principal and
interest payments (the "undiscounted contractual cash flows"), and estimated the
amount and timing of undiscounted expected principal and interest payments,
77
including
expected prepayments (the "undiscounted expected cash flows"). Under acquired
impaired loan accounting, the difference between the undiscounted contractual
cash flows and the undiscounted expected cash flows is the nonaccretable
difference. The nonaccretable difference is an estimate of the loss exposure of
principal and interest related to the purchased credit impaired loans, and the
amount is subject to change over time based on the performance of the loans. The
carrying value of purchased credit impaired loans is initially determined as the
discounted expected cash flows. The excess of expected cash flows at acquisition
over the initial fair value of the purchased credit impaired loans is referred
to as the "accretable yield" and is recorded as interest income over the
estimated life of the acquired loans using the level-yield method, if the timing
and amount of the future cash flows is reasonably estimable. The carrying value
of purchased credit impaired loans is reduced by payments received, both
principal and interest, and increased by the portion of the accretable yield
recognized as interest income. Subsequent to acquisition, the Company evaluates
the purchased credit impaired loans on a quarterly basis. Increases in expected
cash flows compared to those previously estimated increase the accretable yield
and are recognized as interest income prospectively. Decreases in expected cash
flows compared to those previously estimated decrease the accretable yield and
may result in the establishment of an allowance for loan losses and a provision
for loan losses. Purchased credit impaired loans are generally considered
accruing and performing loans, as the loans accrete interest income over the
estimated life of the loan when expected cash flows are reasonably estimable.
Accordingly, purchased credit impaired loans that are contractually past due are
still considered to be accruing and performing as long as there is an
expectation that the estimated cash flows will be received. If the timing and
amount of cash flows is not reasonably estimable, the loans may be classified as
nonaccrual loans.
Loan
fees and certain direct loan origination costs are deferred, and the net fee or
cost is recognized as an adjustment to interest income using the interest method
over the contractual life of the loans.
Foreclosed
Real Estate. Real estate acquired by foreclosure or by deed in lieu of
foreclosure is initially recorded at fair value less estimated selling costs.
Costs for development and improvement of the property are capitalized.
Valuations
are periodically performed by management, and an allowance for losses is
established by a charge to operations if the carrying value of a property
exceeds its estimated fair value, less estimated selling costs.
Loans
to facilitate the sale of real estate acquired in foreclosure are discounted if
made at less than market rates. Discounts are amortized over the fixed interest
period of each loan using the interest method.
Premises
and Equipment. Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated
depreciation and include expenditures for major betterments and renewals.
Maintenance, repairs, and minor renewals are expensed as incurred. When property
is retired or sold, the retired asset and related accumulated depreciation are
removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss taken into income. The
Company reviews property and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes
in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be
recoverable. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment loss
recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the
fair value of the assets.
Depreciation
is computed by use of straight-line and accelerated methods over the estimated
useful lives of the assets. Estimated lives are generally seven to forty years
for premises, three to seven years for equipment, and three years for
software.
Intangible
Assets. The Company's intangible assets at June 30, 2015 included gross
core deposit intangibles of $5.9 million with $1.9 million accumulated
amortization, gross other identifiable intangibles of $3.8 million with
accumulated amortization of $3.8 million, and FHLB mortgage servicing rights of
$157,000. At June 30, 2014, the Company's intangible assets included gross core
deposit intangibles of $2.9 million with $875,000 accumulated amortization,
gross other identifiable intangibles of $3.8 million with accumulated
amortization of $3.5 million, and FHLB mortgage servicing rights of
$38,000. The Company's core deposit and other intangible assets are
being amortized using the straight line method, over periods ranging from five
to fifteen years, with amortization expense expected to be approximately $1.0
million in fiscal 2016, $911,000 in fiscal 2017, $911,000 in fiscal 2018,
$655,000 in fiscal 2019, $500,000 in fiscal 2020.
Goodwill.
The Company's goodwill is evaluated annually for impairment or more
frequently if impairment indicators are present. A qualitative assessment
is performed to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads
to a determination that it is more likely than not the fair value is less than
the carrying amount, including goodwill. If, based on the evaluation, it
is determined to be more likely than not that the fair value is less than the
carrying value, then goodwill is tested further for impairment. If the
implied fair value of goodwill is lower
78
than
its carrying amount, a goodwill impairment is indicated and goodwill is written
down to its implied fair value. Subsequent increases in goodwill value are
not recognized in the financial statements.
Income
Taxes. The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with income
tax accounting guidance (ASC 740, Income Taxes). The income tax accounting
guidance results in two components of income tax expense: current and deferred.
Current income tax expense reflects taxes to be paid or refunded for the current
period by applying the provisions of the enacted tax law to the taxable income
or excess of deductions over revenues. The Company determines deferred income
taxes using the liability (or balance sheet) method. Under this method, the net
deferred tax asset or liability is based on the tax effects of the differences
between the book and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and enacted changes in
tax rates and laws are recognized in the period in which they occur.
Deferred
income tax expense results from changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities
between periods. Deferred tax assets are recognized if it is more likely than
not, based on the technical merits, that the tax position will be realized or
sustained upon examination. The term more likely than not means a likelihood of
more than 50 percent; the terms examined and upon examination also include
resolution of the related appeals or litigation processes, if any. A tax
position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is initially
and subsequently measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a
greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon settlement with a
taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. The
determination of whether or not a tax position has met the more-likely-than-not
recognition threshold considers the facts, circumstances, and information
available at the reporting date and is subject to the management's judgment.
Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight
of evidence available, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a
deferred tax asset will not be realized.
The
Company recognizes interest and penalties on income taxes as a component of
income tax expense.
The
Company files consolidated income tax returns with its subsidiary.
Incentive
Plan. The Company accounts for its Management and Recognition Plan (MRP)
and Equity Incentive Plan (EIP) in accordance with ASC 718, "Share-Based
Payment." Compensation expense is based on the market price of the
Company's stock on the date the shares are granted and is recorded over the
vesting period. The difference between the aggregate purchase price and the fair
value on the date the shares are considered earned represents a tax benefit to
the Company that is recorded as an adjustment to additional paid in
capital.
Outside
Directors' Retirement. The Bank adopted a directors' retirement plan in
April 1994 for outside directors. The directors' retirement plan provides that
each non-employee director (participant) shall receive, upon termination of
service on the Board on or after age 60, other than termination for cause, a
benefit in equal annual installments over a five year period. The benefit will
be based upon the product of the participant's vesting percentage and the total
Board fees paid to the participant during the calendar year preceding
termination of service on the Board. The vesting percentage shall be determined
based upon the participant's years of service on the Board, whether before or
after the reorganization date.
In
the event that the participant dies before collecting any or all of the
benefits, the Bank shall pay the participant's beneficiary. No benefits shall be
payable to anyone other than the beneficiary, and shall terminate on the death
of the beneficiary.
Stock
Options. Compensation cost is measured based on the grant-date fair value
of the equity instruments issued, and recognized over the vesting period during
which an employee provides service in exchange for the award.
Earnings
Per Share. Basic earnings per share available to common stockholders is
computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted
earnings per share available to common stockholders includes the effect of all
weighted-average dilutive potential common shares (stock options and warrants)
outstanding during each year. All per share data has been restated to
reflect the two-for-one common stock split in the form of a 100% common stock
dividend paid on January 30, 2015.
Comprehensive
Income. Comprehensive income consists of net income and other
comprehensive income, net of applicable income taxes. Other comprehensive income
includes unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on available-for-sale
securities, unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on available-for-sale

Reclassification.
Certain amounts included in the 2014 and 2013 consolidated financial
statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2015 presentation. These
reclassifications had no effect on net income.
The
following paragraphs summarize the impact of new accounting
pronouncements:
In
August 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting
Standards Update (ASU) 2014-14, "Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors," to
address the classification of certain foreclosed mortgage loans held by
creditors that are either fully or partially guaranteed under government
programs (e.g., FHA, VA, HUD). The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and
interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2014. The
Company is reviewing the ASU, but does not expect adoption will result in a
significant effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In
January 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-04,
"Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage
Loans upon Foreclosure," to reduce diversity by clarifying when a creditor
should be considered to have received physical possession of residential real
estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan such that the loan
receivable should be derecognized and the real estate property recognized. The
ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years,
beginning after December 15, 2014. Adoption of the ASU is not expected to have a
significant effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In
January 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-01, "Accounting for Investments in
Qualified Affordable Housing Projects," to permit entities to make an accounting
policy election to account for their investments in qualified affordable housing
projects using the proportional amortization method if certain conditions are
met. The ASU modifies the conditions that an entity must meet to be eligible to
use a method other than the equity or cost methods to account for qualified
affordable housing project investments. The ASU is effective for fiscal years,
and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2014. The
Company is reviewing the ASU, but does not expect adoption will result in a
significant effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

The
carrying value of investment and mortgage-backed securities pledged as
collateral to secure public deposits and securities sold under agreements to
repurchase amounted to $112.6 million and $81.9 million at June 30, 2015 and
2014, respectively.
A
gain of $6,228 and $116,164 was recognized from sales of available-for-sale
securities in 2015 and 2014 respectively. There were no sales in
2013.
With
the exception of U.S. government agencies and corporations, the Company did not
hold any securities of a single issuer, payable from and secured by the same
source of revenue or taxing authority, the book value of which exceeded 10% of
stockholders' equity at June 30, 2015.
81
Certain
investments in debt securities are reported in the financial statements at an
amount less than their historical cost. Total fair value of these investments at
June 30, 2015, was $23.2 million, which is approximately 17.9% of the Company's
available for sale investment portfolio, as compared to $39.5 million or
approximately 30.3% of the Company's available for sale investment portfolio at
June 30, 2014. Except as discussed below, management believes the
declines in fair value for these securities to be temporary.

The
unrealized losses on the Company's investments in U.S. government-sponsored
enterprises, mortgage-backed securities, and obligations of state and political
subdivisions were caused by increases in market interest rates. The
contractual terms of these instruments do not permit the issuer to settle the
securities at a price less than the amortized cost basis of the
investments. Because the Company does not intend to sell the investments
and it is not more likely than not the Company will be required to sell the
investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be
maturity, the Company does not consider these investments to be
other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2015.
Other
securities. At June 30, 2015, there were three pooled trust preferred
securities with an estimated fair value of $770,000 and unrealized losses of
$662,000 in a continuous unrealized loss position for twelve months or more.
These unrealized losses were primarily due to the long-term nature of the pooled
trust preferred securities, a lack of demand or inactive market for these
securities, and concerns regarding the financial institutions that issued the
underlying trust preferred securities. Rules adopted by the federal banking
agencies in December 2013 to implement Section 619 of the Dodd-Frank Act (the
"Volcker Rule") generally prohibit banking entities from engaging in proprietary
trading and from investing in, sponsoring, or having certain relationships with
a hedge fund or private equity fund. All pooled trust preferred securities owned
by the Company were included in a January 2014 listing of securities which the
agencies considered to be grandfathered with regard to these prohibitions; as
such, banking entities are permitted to retain their interest in these
securities, provided the interest was acquired on or before December 10, 2013,
unless acquired pursuant to a merger or acquisition.
The
June 30, 2015, cash flow analysis for these three securities indicated it is
probable the Company will receive all contracted principal and related interest
projected. The cash flow analysis used in making this determination was based on
anticipated default, recovery, and prepayment rates, and the resulting cash
flows were discounted based on the yield anticipated at the time the securities
were purchased. Other inputs include the actual collateral attributes, which
include credit ratings and other performance indicators of the underlying
financial institutions, including profitability, capital ratios, and asset
quality. Assumptions for these three securities included annualized prepayments
of 1%; no recoveries on issuers currently in default; recoveries of zero to 67
percent on currently deferred issuers within the next two years; new defaults of
50 basis points annually; and recoveries of 10% of new defaults.
One
of these three securities has continued to receive cash interest payments in
full since our purchase; the second of the three securities received
principal-in-kind (PIK), in lieu of cash interest, for a period of time
following the recession and financial crisis which began in 2008, but resumed
interest payments during fiscal 2014. Our cash flow analysis indicates that
interest payments are expected to continue for these two securities. Because the
82
Company
does not intend to sell these securities and it is not more-likely-than-not that
the Company will be required to sell these securities prior to recovery of their
amortized cost basis, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider these
investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2015.
For
the last of these three securities, the Company is receiving PIK, in lieu of
cash interest. Pooled trust preferred securities generally allow, under the
terms of the issue, for issuers included in the pool to defer interest for up to
five consecutive years. After five years, if not cured, the issuer is considered
to be in default and the trustee may demand payment in full of principal and
accrued interest. Issuers are also considered to be in default in the event of
the failure of the issuer or a subsidiary bank. Both deferred and defaulted
issuers are considered non-performing, and the trustee calculates, on a
quarterly or semi-annual basis, certain coverage tests prior to the payment of
cash interest to owners of the various tranches of the securities. The tests
must show that performing collateral is sufficient to meet requirements for
senior tranches, both in terms of cash flow and collateral value, before cash
interest can be paid to subordinate tranches. If the tests are not met,
available cash flow is diverted to pay down the principal balance of senior
tranches until the coverage tests are met, before cash interest payments to
subordinate tranches may resume. The Company is receiving PIK for this security
due to failure of the required coverage tests described above at senior tranche
levels of the security. The risk to holders of a tranche of a security in PIK
status is that the pool's total cash flow will not be sufficient to repay all
principal and accrued interest related to the investment. The impact of payment
of PIK to subordinate tranches is to strengthen the position of senior tranches,
by reducing the senior tranches' principal balances relative to available
collateral and cash flow, while increasing principal balances, decreasing cash
flow, and increasing credit risk to the tranches receiving PIK. For this
security in receipt of PIK, the principal balance is increasing, cash flow has
stopped, and, as a result, credit risk is increasing. The Company expects this
security to remain in PIK status for a period of less than one year. Despite
these facts, because the Company does not intend to sell this security and it is
not more-likely-than-not that the Company will be required to sell this security
prior to recovery of its amortized cost basis, which may be maturity, the
Company does not consider this investment to be other-than-temporarily impaired
at June 30, 2015.
At
December 31, 2008, analysis of a fourth pooled trust preferred security
indicated other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI). The loss recognized at that
time reduced the amortized cost basis for the security, and as of June 30, 2015,
the estimated fair value of the security exceeds the new, lower amortized cost
basis.
The
Company does not believe any other individual unrealized loss as of June 30,
2015, represents OTTI. However, the Company could be required to recognize OTTI
losses in future periods with respect to its available for sale investment
securities portfolio. The amount and timing of any additional OTTI will depend
on the decline in the underlying cash flows of the securities. Should the
impairment of any of these securities become other-than-temporary, the cost
basis of the investment will be reduced and the resulting loss recognized in the
period the other-than-temporary impairment is identified.
Credit
losses recognized on investments. As described above, one of the
Company's investments in trust preferred securities experienced fair value
deterioration due to credit losses, but is not otherwise other-than-temporarily
impaired. During fiscal 2009, the Company adopted ASC 820, formerly FASB Staff
Position 157-4, "Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity
for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying
Transactions That Are Not Orderly." The following table provides
information about the trust preferred security for which only a credit loss was
recognized in income and other losses are recorded in other comprehensive income
(loss) for the years ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.

The
Company's lending activities consist of origination of loans secured by
mortgages on one- to four-family residences and commercial and agricultural real
estate, construction loans on residential and commercial properties, commercial
and agricultural business loans and consumer loans. The Company has also
occasionally purchased loan participation interests originated by other lenders
and secured by properties generally located in the states of Missouri and
Arkansas.
Residential
Mortgage Lending. The Company actively originates loans for the
acquisition or refinance of one- to four-family residences. This category
includes both fixed-rate and adjustable-rate mortgage ("ARM") loans amortizing
over periods of up to 30 years, and the properties securing such loans may be
owner-occupied or non-owner-occupied. Single-family residential loans do
not generally exceed 90% of the lower of the appraised value or purchase price
of the secured property. Substantially all of the one- to four-family
residential mortgage originations in the Company's portfolio are located within
the Company's primary lending area.
The
Company also originates loans secured by multi-family residential properties
that are often located outside the Company's primary lending area but made to
borrowers who operate within the primary market area. The majority of the
multi-family residential loans that are originated by the Bank are amortized
over periods generally up to 25 years, with balloon maturities typically up to
ten years. Both fixed and adjustable interest rates are offered and it is
typical for the Company to include an interest rate "floor" and "ceiling" in the
loan agreement. Generally, multi-family residential loans do not exceed 85% of
the lower of the appraised value or purchase price of the secured
property.
Commercial
Real Estate Lending. The Company actively originates loans secured by
commercial real estate including land (improved, unimproved, and farmland),
strip shopping centers, retail establishments and other businesses. These
properties are typically owned and operated by borrowers headquartered within
the Company's primary lending area, however, the property may be located outside
our primary lending area. Approximately $73.9 million of our $404.7
million in commercial real estate loans are secured by properties located
outside our primary lending area.
Most
commercial real estate loans originated by the Company generally are based on
amortization schedules of up to 20 years with monthly principal and interest
payments. Generally, the interest rate received on these loans is fixed for a
maturity for up to five years, with a balloon payment due at maturity.
Alternatively, for some loans, the interest rate adjusts at least annually after
an initial period up to five years. The Company typically
84
includes
an interest rate "floor" in the loan agreement. Generally, improved commercial
real estate loan amounts do not exceed 80% of the lower of the appraised value
or the purchase price of the secured property. Agricultural real estate terms
offered differ slightly, with amortization schedules of up to 25 years with an
80% loan-to-value ratio, or 30 years with a 75% loan-to-value ratio.
Construction
Lending. The Company originates real estate loans secured by property or
land that is under construction or development. Construction loans originated by
the Company are generally secured by mortgage loans for the construction of
owner occupied residential real estate or to finance speculative construction
secured by residential real estate, land development, or owner-operated or
non-owner occupied commercial real estate. During construction, these
loans typically require monthly interest-only payments and have maturities
ranging from six to twelve months. Once construction is completed, permanent
construction loans may be converted to monthly payments using amortization
schedules of up to 30 years on residential and generally up to 20 years on
commercial real estate.
While
the Company typically utilizes maturity periods ranging from 6 to 12 months to
closely monitor the inherent risks associated with construction loans for these
loans, weather conditions, change orders, availability of materials and/or
labor, and other factors may contribute to the lengthening of a project, thus
necessitating the need to renew the construction loan at the balloon
maturity. Such extensions are typically executed in incremental three
month periods to facilitate project completion. The Company's average term
of construction loans is approximately eight months. During construction,
loans typically require monthly interest only payments which may allow the
Company an opportunity to monitor for early signs of financial difficulty should
the borrower fail to make a required monthly payment. Additionally, during
the construction phase, the Company typically obtains interim inspections
completed by an independent third party. This monitoring further allows
the Company opportunity to assess risk. At June 30, 2015, construction
loans outstanding included 49 loans, totaling $8.2 million, for which a
modification had been agreed to; At June 30, 2014, construction loans
outstanding included 31 loans, totaling $13.1 million, for which a modification
had been agreed to. All modifications were solely for the purpose of extending
the maturity date due to conditions described above. None of these
modifications were executed due to financial difficulty on the part of the
borrower and, therefore, were not accounted for as TDRs.
Consumer
Lending. The Company offers a variety of secured consumer loans,
including home equity, direct and indirect automobile loans, second mortgages,
mobile home loans and loans secured by deposits. The Company originates
substantially all of its consumer loans in its primary lending area. Usually,
consumer loans are originated with fixed rates for terms of up to five years,
with the exception of home equity lines of credit, which are variable, tied to
the prime rate of interest and are for a period of ten years.
Home
equity lines of credit (HELOCs) are secured with a deed of trust and are issued
up to 100% of the appraised or assessed value of the property securing the line
of credit, less the outstanding balance on the first mortgage and are typically
issued for a term of ten years. Interest rates on the HELOCs are generally
adjustable. Interest rates are based upon the loan-to-value ratio of the
property with better rates given to borrowers with more equity.
Automobile
loans originated by the Company include both direct loans and a smaller amount
of loans originated by auto dealers. The Company generally pays a negotiated fee
back to the dealer for indirect loans. Typically, automobile loans are made for
terms of up to 60 months for new and used vehicles. Loans secured by automobiles
have fixed rates and are generally made in amounts up to 100% of the purchase
price of the vehicle.
Commercial
Business Lending. The Company's commercial business lending activities
encompass loans with a variety of purposes and security, including loans to
finance accounts receivable, inventory, equipment and operating lines of credit,
including agricultural production and equipment loans. The Company offers
both fixed and adjustable rate commercial business loans. Generally, commercial
loans secured by fixed assets are amortized over periods up to five years, while
commercial operating lines of credit or agricultural production lines are
generally for a one year period.
The
following tables present the balance in the allowance for loan losses and the
recorded investment in loans (excluding loans in process and deferred loan fees)
based on portfolio segment and impairment methods as of June 30, 2015 and 2014,
and activity in the allowance for loan losses for the fiscal years ended June
30, 2015, 2014, and 2013.

Management's
opinion as to the ultimate collectability of loans is subject to estimates
regarding future cash flows from operations and the value of property, real and
personal, pledged as collateral. These estimates are affected by changing
economic conditions and the economic prospects of borrowers.
The
allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level that, in management's
judgment, is adequate to cover probable credit losses inherent in the loan
portfolio at the balance sheet date. The allowance for loan losses is
established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for
loan losses charged to earnings. Loan losses are charged against the
allowance when an amount is determined to be uncollectible, based on
management's analysis of expected cash flow (for non-collateral dependent loans)
or collateral value (for collateral-dependent loans). Subsequent
recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.
The
allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is
based upon management's periodic review of the collectability of the loans in
light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio,
adverse situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay, estimated
value of
86
any
underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is
inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to
significant revision as more information becomes available.
The
allowance consists of allocated and general components. The allocated
component relates to loans that are classified as impaired. For those
loans that are classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the
discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the
impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan.
Under
the Company's allowance methodology, loans are first segmented into 1) those
comprising large groups of smaller-balance homogeneous loans, including
single-family mortgages and installment loans, which are collectively evaluated
for impairment, and 2) all other loans which are individually
evaluated. Those loans in the second category are further segmented
utilizing a defined grading system which involves categorizing loans by severity
of risk based on conditions that may affect the ability of the borrowers to
repay their debt, such as current financial information, collateral valuations,
historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and
current trends. The loans subject to credit classification represent
the portion of the portfolio subject to the greatest credit risk and where
adjustments to the allowance for losses on loans as a result of provisions and
charge offs are most likely to have a significant impact on operations.
A
periodic review of selected credits (based on loan size and type) is conducted
to identify loans with heightened risk or probable losses and to assign risk
grades. The primary responsibility for this review rests with loan
administration personnel. This review is supplemented with periodic
examinations of both selected credits and the credit review process by the
Company's internal audit function and applicable regulatory
agencies. The information from these reviews assists management in
the timely identification of problems and potential problems and provides a
basis for deciding whether the credit represents a probable loss or risk that
should be recognized.
The
Company considers, as the primary quantitative factor in its allowance
methodology, average net charge offs over the most recent twelve-month
period. The Company also reviews average net charge offs over the most
recent five-year period.
A
loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is
probable that the scheduled payments of principal or interest will not be able
to be collected when due according to the contractual terms of the loan
agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment
include payment status, collateral value and the probability of collecting
scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience
insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified
as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and
payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the
circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the
delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower's prior payment record and the
amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed.
Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for commercial and agricultural
loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at
the loan's effective interest rate, the loan's obtainable market price or the
fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.
Groups
of loans with similar risk characteristics are collectively evaluated for
impairment based on the group's historical loss experience adjusted for changes
in trends, conditions and other relevant factors that affect repayment of the
loans. Accordingly, individual consumer and residential loans are not
separately identified for impairment measurements, unless such loans are the
subject of a restructuring agreement due to financial difficulties of the
borrower.
The
general component covers non-classified loans and is based on historical
charge-off experience and expected loss given the internal risk rating
process. The loan portfolio is stratified into homogeneous groups of loans
that possess similar loss characteristics and an appropriate loss ratio adjusted
for other qualitative factors is applied to the homogeneous pools of loans to
estimate the incurred losses in the loan portfolio.
Included
in the Company's loan portfolio are certain loans accounted for in accordance
with ASC 310-30, Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit
Quality. These loans were written down at acquisition to an amount
estimated to be collectible. As a result, certain ratios regarding the
Company's loan portfolio and credit quality cannot be used to compare the
Company to peer companies or to compare the Company's current credit quality to
prior periods. The ratios particularly affected by accounting under ASC
310-30 include the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans,
nonaccrual loans, and nonperforming assets, and nonaccrual loans and
nonperforming loans as a percentage of total loans.

The
following tables present the credit risk profile of the Company's loan portfolio
(excluding loans in process and deferred loan fees) based on rating category and
payment activity as of June 30, 2015 and 2014. These tables include
purchased credit impaired loans, which are reported according to risk
categorization after acquisition based on the Company's standards for such
classification:

The
above amounts include purchased credit impaired loans. At June 30, 2015,
purchased credit impaired loans comprised $6.4 million of credits rated "Pass"
$4.0 million of credits rated "Watch", none rated "Special Mention", $6.7
million of credits rated "Substandard" and none rated "Doubtful". At June
30, 2014, purchased credit impaired loans comprised $409,000 of credits
rated "Pass" none rated "Watch" or "Special Mention" $2.7 million of credits
rated "Substandard" and none rated "Doubtful".
Credit
Quality Indicators. The Company categorizes loans into risk categories
based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their
debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience,
credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends among
other factors. The Company analyzes loans individually by classifying the
loans as to credit risk. This analysis is performed on all loans at
origination, and is updated on a quarterly basis for loans risk rated Special
Mention, Substandard, or Doubtful. In addition, lending relationships over
$250,000 are subject to an independent loan review following origination, and
lending relationships in excess of $1,000,000 are subject to an independent loan
review annually, in order to verify risk ratings. The Company uses
the following definitions for risk ratings:
Watch
– Loans classified as watch exhibit weaknesses that require more than
usual monitoring. Issues may include deteriorating financial condition,
payments made after due date but within 30 days, adverse industry conditions or
management problems.
Special
Mention – Loans classified as special mention exhibit signs of further
deterioration but still generally make payments within 30 days. This is a
transitional rating and loans should typically not be rated Special Mention for
more than 12 months.
Substandard
– Loans classified as substandard possess weaknesses that jeopardize the
ultimate collection of the principal and interest outstanding. These loans
exhibit continued financial losses, ongoing delinquency, overall poor financial
condition, and insufficient collateral. 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 of substandard loans, and
have deteriorated to the level that there is a high probability of substantial
loss.
Loans
not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the
above described process are considered to be Pass
rated loans.

At
June 30, 2015 and 2014, no purchased credit impaired loans were greater than 90
days past due.
A
loan is considered impaired, in accordance with the impairment accounting
guidance (ASC 310-10-35-16), when based on current information and events, it is
probable the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due from the borrower
in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan. Impaired loans
include nonperforming loans but also include loans modified in troubled debt
restructurings (TDRs) where concessions have been granted to borrowers
experiencing financial difficulties. These concessions could include a
reduction in the interest rate on the loan, payment extensions, forgiveness of
principal, forbearance or other actions intended to maximize collection.
The
following tables present impaired loans (excluding loans in process and deferred
loan fees) as of June 30, 2015 and 2014. These tables include purchased
credit impaired loans. Purchased credit impaired loans are those for which
it was deemed probable, at acquisition, that the Company would be unable to
collect all contractually required payments receivable. In an instance
where, subsequent to the acquisition, the Company determines it is probable, for
a specific loan, that cash flows received will exceed the amount previously
expected, the Company will recalculate the amount of accretable yield in order
to recognize the improved cash flow expectation as additional interest income
over the remaining life of the loan. These loans, however, will continue
to be reported as impaired loans. In an instance where, subsequent to the
acquisition, the Company determines it is probable that, for a specific loan,
that cash flows received will be less than the amount previously expected, the
Company will allocate a specific allowance under the terms of ASC 310-10-35.

Interest
income on impaired loans recognized on a cash basis in the fiscal years ended
June 30, 2015, 2014, and 2013 was immaterial.
For
the fiscal years ended June 30, 2015, 2014, and 2013, the amount of interest
income recorded for impaired loans that represents a change in the present value
of future cash flows attributable to the passage of time was approximately
$139,000, $164,000, and $391,000, respectively.
The
following table presents the Company's nonaccrual loans at June 30, 2015 and
2014. Purchased credit impaired loans are placed on nonaccrual status in
the event the Company cannot reasonably estimate cash flows expected to be
collected. The table excludes performing troubled debt
restructurings.

The
above amounts include purchased credit impaired loans. At June 30, 2015
and 2014, purchased credit impaired loans comprised $2.4 million and $0 of
nonaccrual loans, respectively.
Included
in certain loan categories in the impaired loans are troubled debt
restructurings (TDRs), where economic concessions have been granted to borrowers
who have experienced financial difficulties. These concessions typically
result from our loss mitigation activities, and could include reductions in the
interest rate, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance, or
other actions. Certain TDRs are classified as nonperforming at the time of
restructuring and typically are returned to performing status after considering
the borrower's sustained repayment performance for a reasonable period of at
least six months.
When
loans and leases are modified into a TDR, the Company evaluates any possible
impairment similar to other impaired loans based on the present value of
expected future cash flows, discounted at the contractual interest rate of the
original loan or lease agreement, and uses the current fair value of the
collateral, less selling costs, for collateral dependent loans. If the
Company determines that the value of the modified loan is less than the recorded
investment in the loan (net of previous charge-offs, deferred loan fees or
costs, and unamortized premium or discount), impairment is recognized through an
allowance estimate or a charge-off to the allowance. In periods subsequent
to modification, the Company evaluates all TDRs, including those that have
payment defaults, for possible impairment and recognizes impairment through the
allowance.
At
June 30, 2015, and June 30, 2014, the Company had $4.7 million and $2.9 million,
respectively, of commercial real estate loans, $602,000 and $1.8 million,
respectively, of residential real estate loans, and $1.3 million and $125,000,
respectively, of commercial loans that were modified in TDRs and impaired.
All loans classified as TDRs at June 30, 2015, and June 30, 2014, were so
classified due to interest rate concessions. During Fiscal 2015, three
commercial real estate loans totaling $1.7 million, two commercial loans
totaling $1.2 million,
91
and
four residential real estate loans totaling $542,000 were modified as TDRs and
had payment defaults subsequent to the modification. When loans modified
as TDRs have subsequent payment defaults, the defaults are factored into the
determination of the allowance for loan losses to ensure specific valuation
allowance reflect amounts considered uncollectible.
Performing
loans classified as troubled debt restructurings at June 30, 2015 and June 30,
2014 segregated by class, are shown in the table below. Nonperforming TDRs
are shown as nonaccrual loans.

NOTE
4: Accounting for Certain Loans Acquired in a Transfer
The
Company acquired loans in transfers during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2011
and June 30, 2015. At acquisition, certain transferred loans evidenced
deterioration of credit quality since origination and it was probable, at
acquisition, that all contractually required payments would not be
collected.
Loans
purchased with evidence of credit deterioration since origination and for which
it is probable that all contractually required payments will not be collected
are considered to be credit impaired. Evidence of credit quality deterioration
as of the purchase date may include information such as past-due and nonaccrual
status, borrower credit scores and recent loan to value percentages. Purchased
credit-impaired loans are accounted for under the accounting guidance for loans
and debt securities acquired with deteriorated credit quality (ASC 310-30) and
initially measured at fair value, which includes estimated future credit losses
expected to be incurred over the life of the loan. Accordingly, an allowance for
credit losses related to these loans is not carried over and recorded at the
acquisition date. Management estimated the cash flows expected to be collected
at acquisition using our internal risk models, which incorporate the estimate of
current key assumptions, such as default rates, severity and prepayment
speeds.
The
carrying amount of those loans is included in the balance sheet amounts of loans
receivable at June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014. The amount of these loans is
shown below:

9: Subordinated Debt
Southern
Missouri Statutory Trust I issued $7.0 million of Floating Rate Capital
Securities (the "Trust Preferred Securities") with a liquidation value of $1,000
per share in March 2004. The securities are due in 30 years, redeemable after
five years and bear interest at a floating rate based on LIBOR. At June 30,
2015, the current rate was 3.03%. The securities represent undivided beneficial
interests in the trust, which was established by Southern Missouri for the
purpose of issuing the securities. The Trust Preferred Securities were sold in a
private transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the "Act") and have not been registered under the Act. The
securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration
or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.
Southern
Missouri Statutory Trust I used the proceeds from the sale of the Trust
Preferred Securities to purchase Junior Subordinated Debentures of Southern
Missouri Bancorp. Southern Missouri Bancorp, Inc. used its net proceeds for
working capital and investment in its subsidiaries.
In
connection with its October 2013 acquisition of Ozarks Legacy Community
Financial, Inc. (OLCF), the Company assumed $3.1 million in floating rate junior
subordinated debt securities. The debt securities had been issued in June 2005
by OLCF in connection with the sale of trust preferred securities, bear interest
at a floating rate based on LIBOR, are now redeemable at par, and mature in
2035. The carrying value of the debt securities was approximately $2.5 million
at June 30, 2015, and June 30, 2014.
In
connection with its August 2014 acquisition of Peoples Service Company, Inc.
(PSC), the Company assumed $6.5 million in floating rate junior subordinated
debt securities. The debt securities had been issued in 2005 by PSC's subsidiary
bank holding company, Peoples Banking Company, in connection with the sale of
trust preferred securities, bear interest at a floating rate based on LIBOR, are
now redeemable at par, and mature in 2035. The carrying value of the debt
securities was approximately $4.9 million at June 30, 2015.
NOTE
10: Employee Benefits
401(k)
Retirement Plan. The Bank has a 401(k) retirement plan that covers
substantially all eligible employees. The Bank makes "safe harbor"
matching contributions of up to 4% of eligible compensation, depending upon the
percentage of eligible pay deferred into the plan by the employee.
Additional profit-sharing contributions of 4% of eligible salary have been
accrued for the plan year ended June 30, 2015, based on financial performance
for fiscal 2015. Total 401(k) expense for fiscal 2015, 2014, and 2013 was
$752,000, $485,000, and $446,000, respectively. At June 30, 2015, 401(k)
plan participants held approximately 448,000 shares of the Company's stock in
the plan. Employee deferrals and safe harbor contributions are fully
vested. Profit-sharing or other contributions vest over a period of five
years.
Management
Recognition Plan (MRP). The Bank adopted an MRP for the benefit of
non-employee directors and two MRPs for officers and key employees (who may also
be directors) in April 1994. During fiscal 2012, the Bank granted 6,072 shares
(split-adjusted) to employees. The shares granted are in the form of
restricted stock vested at the rate of 20% of such shares per year. For
fiscal 2015, 2014, and 2013, there were 1,214 shares vested each year.
Compensation expense, in the amount of the fair market value of the common stock
at the date of grant, is recognized pro-rata over the five years during which
the shares vest.
The
Board of Directors can terminate the MRP plan at any time, and if it does so,
any shares not allocated will revert to the Company. The MRP expense for fiscal
2015, 2014, and 2013, was $13,000 for each year. At June 30, 2015,
unvested compensation expense related to the MRP was approximately
$26,000.
95
Equity
Incentive Plan. The Company adopted an Equity Incentive Plan (EIP) in
2008, reserving for award 132,000 shares (split-adjusted). EIP shares are
available for award to directors, officers, and employees of the Company and its
affiliates by a committee of outside directors. The committee has the power to
set vesting requirements for each award under the EIP. During fiscal 2012,
the Company awarded 73,928 shares (split-adjusted), during fiscal 2014, the
Company awarded 24,000 shares (split-adjusted), and during fiscal 2015, the
Company awarded 8,000 shares (split-adjusted), all in the form of restricted
stock, which will vest at the rate of 20% of such shares per year. During
fiscal 2015, 2014 and 2013, there were 21,186, 14,786, and 14,786 EIP shares
(split-adjusted), respectively, vested each year. Compensation expense, in
the amount of the fair market value of the common stock at the date of grant, is
recognized pro-rata over the five years during which the shares vest.
The
Board of Directors can terminate EIP awards at any time, and if it does so, any
shares not allocated will revert to the Company. The EIP expense for fiscal
2015, 2014, and 2013 was $275,000, $202,000 and $159,000, respectively. At
June 30, 2015, unvested compensation expense related to the EIP was
approximately $721,000.
Stock
Option Plans. The Company adopted a stock option plan in October
2003. Under the plan, the Company has granted options to purchase 242,000
shares (split-adjusted) to employees and directors, of which, options to
purchase 128,000 shares (split-adjusted) have been exercised, options to
purchase 45,000 shares (split-adjusted) have been forfeited, and 69,000 remain
outstanding. Under the 2003 Plan, exercised options may be issued from
either authorized but unissued shares, or treasury shares.
As
of June 30, 2015, there was $43,000 in remaining unrecognized compensation
expense related to nonvested stock options, which will be recognized over the
remaining weighted average vesting period. The aggregate intrinsic value of
stock options outstanding at June 30, 2015, was $729,000, and the aggregate
intrinsic value of stock options exercisable at June 30, 2015, was $685,000.
During fiscal 2015, options to purchase 41,000 shares were exercised. The
intrinsic value of these options, based on the Company's closing stock price of
$18.85, was $441,000. The intrinsic value of options vested in fiscal 2015,
2014, and 2013 was $115,000, $129,000, and $65,000, respectively.

NOTE
13: Stockholders' Equity and Regulatory Capital
The
Company and Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements
administered by the Federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum
capital requirements can result in 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 Company and Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve
quantitative measures of the Company and the Bank's assets, liabilities, and
certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under U.S. GAAP, regulatory
reporting requirements and regulatory capital standards. The Company and
Bank's capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative
judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other
factors. Furthermore, the Company and Bank's regulators could require
adjustments to regulatory capital not reflected in the condensed consolidated
financial statements.
Quantitative
measures established by regulatory capital standards to ensure capital adequacy
require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set
forth in the table below) of total capital, Tier 1 capital (as defined), and
common equity Tier 1 capital (as defined) to risk-weighted assets (as defined)
and of Tier 1 capital (as defined) to average total assets (as defined).
Management believes, as of June 30, 2015 and 2014, that the Company and the Bank
met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.
In
July 2013, the Federal banking agencies announced their approval of the final
rule to implement the Basel III regulatory reforms, among other changes required
by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. The approved
rule included a new minimum ratio of common equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital of
4.5%, raised the minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets from
4.0% to 6.0%, and included a minimum leverage ratio of 4.0% for all banking
institutions. Additionally, the rule created a capital conservation buffer of
2.5% of risk-weighted assets, and prohibited banking organizations from making
distributions or discretionary bonus payments during any quarter if its eligible
retained income is negative, if the capital conservation buffer is not
98
maintained.
This new capital conservation buffer requirement is be phased in beginning in
January 2016 at 0.625% of risk-weighted assets and increasing each year until
fully implemented in January 2019. The phase-in of the enhanced capital
requirements for banking organizations such as the Company and the Bank began
January 1, 2015. Other changes included revised risk-weighting of some assets,
stricter limitations on mortgage servicing assets and deferred tax assets, and
replacement of the ratings-based approach to risk weight securities.
As
of June 30, 2015, the most recent notification from the Federal banking agencies
categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for
prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized the Bank must
maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, common equity Tier 1
risk-based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the table. There are no
conditions or events since that notification that management believes have
changed the Bank's category.
The
tables below summarize the Company and Bank's actual and required regulatory
capital:

The
Bank's ability to pay dividends on its common stock to the Company is restricted
to maintain adequate capital as shown in the above tables. Additionally, prior
regulatory approval is required for the declaration of any dividends generally
in excess of the sum of net income for that calendar year and retained net
income for the preceding two calendar years. At June 30, 2015, approximately
$11.9 million of the equity of the Bank was available for distribution as
dividends to the Company without prior regulatory approval.
In
July 2014, the Bank declared and paid to the Company a special dividend of $10.0
million to facilitate the Company's acquisition of Peoples Service
Company.
NOTE
14: Small Business Lending Fund Implemented by the U.S. Treasury
On
July 21, 2011, as part of the Small Business Lending Fund (SBLF) of the United
States Department of the Treasury (Treasury), the Company entered into a Small
Business Lending Fund-Securities Purchase Agreement (Purchase Agreement) with
the Secretary of the Treasury, pursuant to which the Company (i) sold 20,000
shares of the Company's Senior Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series
A (SBLF Preferred Stock) to the Secretary of the Treasury for a purchase price
of $20,000,000. The SBLF Preferred Stock was issued pursuant to the SBLF
program, a $30 billion fund established under the Small Business Jobs Act of
2010 that was created to encourage lending to small business by providing
capital to qualified community banks with assets of less than $10 billion.
99
The
SBLF Preferred Stock qualifies as Tier 1 capital. The SBLF Preferred Stock
is entitled to receive non-cumulative dividends, payable quarterly, on each
January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1, beginning October 1, 2011. The
dividend rate, as a percentage of the liquidation amount, can fluctuate on a
quarterly basis during the first 10 quarters during which the SBLF Preferred
Stock is outstanding, based upon changes in the Bank's level of Qualified Small
Business Lending (QBSL), as defined in the Purchase Agreement. Based upon
the increase in the Bank's level of QBSL over the baseline level calculated
under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the dividend rate for the initial
dividend period was set at 2.8155%. For the second through ninth calendar
quarters, the dividend rate may be adjusted to between one percent (1%) and five
percent (5%) per annum, to reflect the amount of change in the Bank's level of
QBSL. The dividend rate for the quarter ended June 30, 2015, was 1%.
For the tenth calendar quarter through four and one half years after issuance,
the dividend rate will be fixed at between one percent (1%) and seven percent
(7%) based upon the increase in QBSL as compared to the baseline. After
four and one half years from issuance, the dividend rate will increase to 9%
(including a quarterly lending incentive fee of 0.5%).
The
SBLF Preferred Stock is non-voting, except in limited circumstances. In
the event that the Company misses five dividend payments, the holder of the SBLF
Preferred Stock will have the right to appoint a representative as an observer
on the Company's Board of Directors. In the event that the Company misses
six dividend payments, the holder of the SBLF Preferred Stock will have the
right to designate two directors to the Board of Directors of the Company.
The
SBLF Preferred Stock may be redeemed at any time at the Company's option, at a
redemption price of 100% of the liquidation amount plus accrued but unpaid
dividends to the date of redemption for the current period, subject to the
approval of its federal banking regulator.
As
required by the Purchase Agreement, $9,635,000 of the proceeds from the sale of
the SBLF Preferred Stock was used to redeem the 9,550 shares of the Company's
Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A issued in 2008 to the
Treasury in the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP), plus the accrued dividends
owed on those preferred shares. As part of the 2008 TARP transaction, the
Company had issued a ten-year warrant to Treasury to purchase 228,652 shares
(split-adjusted) of the Company's common stock at an exercise price
(split-adjusted) of $6.27 per share. The Company repurchased the warrant
on May 29, 2015, for $2.7 million. Immediately prior to repurchase, the warrant
had been exercisable for the purchase of 231,891 shares (split-adjusted) at an
exercise price of $6.18 per share.
NOTE
15: Commitments and Credit Risk
Standby
Letters of Credit. In the normal course of business, the Company issues
various financial standby, performance standby, and commercial letters of credit
for its customers. As consideration for the letters of credit, the institution
charges letter of credit fees based on the face amount of the letters and the
creditworthiness of the counterparties. These letters of credit are stand-alone
agreements, and are unrelated to any obligation the depositor has to the
Company.
Standby
letters of credit are irrevocable conditional commitments issued by the Company
to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Financial standby
letters of credit are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing
arrangements, including commercial paper, bond financing and similar
transactions. Performance standby letters of credit are issued to guarantee
performance of certain customers under non-financial contractual obligations.
The credit risk involved in issuing standby letters of credit is essentially the
same as that involved in extending loans to customers.
The
Company had total outstanding standby letters of credit amounting to $2.6
million at June 30, 2015, and $3.4 million at June 30, 2014, with terms ranging
from 12 to 24 months. At June 30, 2015, the Company's deferred revenue under
standby letters of credit agreements was nominal.
Off-balance-sheet
and Credit Risk. The Company's Consolidated Financial Statements do not
reflect various financial instruments to extend credit to meet the financing
needs of its customers.
These
financial instruments include commitments to extend credit. These instruments
involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess
of the amount recognized in the balance sheets. Lines of credit are agreements
to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition
established in the contract. Lines of credit generally have fixed expiration
dates. Since a portion of the line may expire without being drawn upon, the
total unused lines do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Each
customer's creditworthiness is evaluated on a case-by-case basis. The amount of
collateral obtained, if deemed necessary, is
100
based
on management's credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held varies
but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment,
commercial real estate and residential real estate. Management uses the same
credit policies in granting lines of credit as it does for on balance sheet
instruments.
The
Company had $130.6 million in commitments to extend credit at June 30, 2015, and
$112.8 million at June 30, 2014.
At
June 30, 2015, total commitments to originate fixed-rate loans with terms in
excess of one year were $16.8 million at rates ranging from 2.95% to 10.50%,
with a weighted-average rate of 4.56%. Commitments to extend credit and standby
letters of credit include exposure to some credit loss in the event of
nonperformance of the customer. The Company's policies for credit commitments
and financial guarantees are the same as those for extension of credit that are
recorded in the balance sheet. The commitments extend over varying periods of
time with the majority being disbursed within a thirty-day period.
The
Company originates collateralized commercial, real estate, and consumer loans to
customers in Missouri and Arkansas. Although the Company has a diversified
portfolio, loans aggregating $435.0 million at June 30, 2015, are secured by
single and multi-family residential real estate generally located in the
Company's primary lending area.

NOTE
17: Acquisitions
On
August 5, 2014, the Company completed its acquisition of Peoples Service Company
(PSC) and its subsidiary, Peoples Bank of the Ozarks (Peoples), Nixa, Missouri.
Peoples was merged into the Company's bank subsidiary, Southern Bank, in early
December, 2014, in connection with the conversion of Peoples' data system. The
Company acquired Peoples primarily for the purpose of conducting commercial
banking activities in markets where it believes the Company's business model
will perform well, and for the long-term value of its core deposit franchise.
Through June 30, 2015, the Company incurred $678,000 in third-party
acquisition-related costs. Expenses totaling $528,000 are included in
noninterest expense in the Company's consolidated statement of income for the
year ended June 30, 2015, compared to $150,000 for the year ended June 30, 2014.
Notes payable of $2.9 million were contractually required to be repaid on the
date of acquisition. The goodwill of $3.0 million arising from the acquisition
consists largely of synergies and economies of scale expected from combining the
operations of the Company and Peoples. Goodwill from this transaction was
assigned to the acquisition of the bank holding company, and is not expected to
be deductible for tax purposes.

NOTE
18: Fair Value Measurements
ASC
Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements, defines fair value as the price that would
be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Topic 820
also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the
use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when
measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that
may be used to measure fair value:
Level
1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities
Level
2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices
for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in active markets that are not
active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable
market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities
Level
3 – Unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity and
significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities
102
Recurring
Measurements. The following table presents the fair value
measurements of assets recognized in the accompanying consolidated balance
sheets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the level within the fair
value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements fall at June 30, 2015 and

Following
is a description of the valuation methodologies and inputs used for assets
measured at fair value on a recurring basis and recognized in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheets, as well as the general classification of such
assets pursuant to the valuation hierarchy. There have been no significant
changes in the valuation techniques during the period year ended June 30,
2015.
Available-for-sale
Securities. When quoted market prices are available in an active
market, securities are classified within Level 1. If quoted market prices
are not available, then fair values are estimated using pricing models, or
quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics. For these
securities, our 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 bond's terms and conditions, among other
things. In certain cases where Level 1 or Level 2 inputs are not
available, securities are classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy.
During
fiscal 2011, a pooled trust preferred security was reclassified from Level 2 to
Level 3 due to the unavailability of third-party vendor valuations determined by
observable inputs – either quoted prices for similar assets; quoted prices in
active markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can
be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full terms of
the assets. The following table presents a reconciliation of activity for
available for sale securities measured at fair value based on significant
unobservable (Level 3) information for the years ended June 30, 2015 and
2014:

The
following is a description of valuation methodologies and inputs used for assets
measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and recognized in the
accompanying consolidated balance sheets, as well as the general classification
of such assets pursuant to the valuation hierarch. For assets classified
within Level 3 of fair value hierarchy, the process used to develop the reported
fair value process is described below.
Impaired
Loans (Collateral Dependent). A collateral dependent loan is
considered to be impaired when it is probable that all of the principal and
interest due may not be collected according to its contractual terms.
Generally, when a collateral dependent loan is considered impaired, the amount
of reserve required is measured based on the fair value of the underlying
collateral. The Company makes such measurements on all material collateral
dependent loans deemed impaired using the fair value of the collateral for
collateral dependent loans. The fair value of collateral used by the Company is
determined by obtaining an observable market price or by obtaining an appraised
value from an independent, licensed or certified appraiser, using observable
market data. This data includes information such as selling price of similar
properties and capitalization rates of similar properties sold within the
market, expected future cash flows or earnings of the subject property based on
current market expectations, and other relevant factors. In addition, management
applies selling and other discounts to the underlying collateral value to
determine the fair value. If an appraised value is not available, the fair value
of the collateral dependent impaired loan is determined by an adjusted appraised
value including unobservable cash flows.
On
a quarterly basis, loans classified as special mention, substandard, doubtful,
or loss are evaluated including the loan officer's review of the collateral and
its current condition, the Company's knowledge of the current economic
environment in the market where the collateral is located, and the Company's
recent experience with real estate in the area. The date of the appraisal is
also considered in conjunction with the economic environment and any decline in
the real estate market since the appraisal was obtained. For all loan
types, updated appraisals are obtained if considered necessary. Of the
Company's $17.1 million (carrying value) in impaired loans (collateral-dependent
and purchased credit-impaired), excluding performing TDR's at June 30, 2015, the
Company utilized a real estate appraisal more than 12 months old to serve as the
primary basis of our valuation for impaired loans with a carrying value of
approximately $16.1 million. The remaining $1.0 million was secured by
machinery, equipment and accounts receivable. In instances where the economic
environment has worsened and/or the real estate market declined since the last
appraisal, a higher distressed sale discount would be applied to the appraised
value.
The
Company records collateral dependent impaired loans based on nonrecurring Level
3 inputs. If a collateral dependent loan's fair value, as estimated by the
Company, is less than its carrying value, the Company either records a
charge-off of the portion of the loan that exceeds the fair value or establishes
a specific reserve as part of the allowance for loan losses.
104
Foreclosed
and Repossessed Assets Held for Sale. Foreclosed and repossessed
assets held for sale are valued at the time the loan is foreclosed upon or
collateral is repossessed and the asset is transferred to foreclosed or
repossessed assets held for sale. The value of the asset is based on third party
or internal appraisals, less estimated costs to sell and appropriate discounts,
if any. The appraisals are generally discounted based on current and expected
market conditions that may impact the sale or value of the asset and
management's knowledge and experience with similar assets. Such discounts
typically may be significant and result in a Level 3 classification of the
inputs for determining fair value of these assets. Foreclosed and repossessed
assets held for sale are continually evaluated for additional impairment and are
adjusted accordingly if impairment is identified.
Unobservable
(Level 3) Inputs. The following table presents quantitative
information about unobservable inputs used in recurring and nonrecurring Level 3
fair value measurements.

The
following methods and assumptions were used in estimating the fair values of
financial instruments:
Cash
and cash equivalents, interest-bearing time deposits, accrued interest
receivable, and accrued interest payable are valued at their carrying amounts,
which approximates book value. Stock in FHLB and the Federal Reserve Bank
of St. Louis is valued at cost, which approximates fair value. Fair value
of loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current
rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit
ratings and for the same remaining maturities. Loans with similar
characteristics are aggregated for purposes of the calculations. The
carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate their fair values.
The
fair value of fixed-maturity time deposits is estimated using a discounted cash
flow calculation that applies the rates currently offered for deposits of
similar remaining maturities. Non-maturity deposits and securities sold
under agreements are valued at their carrying value, which approximates fair
value. Fair value of advances from the FHLB is estimated by discounting
maturities using an estimate of the current market for similar
instruments. The fair value of subordinated debt is estimated using rates
currently available to the Company for debt with similar terms and
maturities. The fair value of commitments to originate loans is estimated
using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into
account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness
of the counterparties. For fixed-rate loan commitments, fair value also
considers the difference between current levels of interest rates and committed
rates. The fair value of letters of credit and lines of credit are based
on fees currently charged for similar agreements or on the estimated cost to
terminate or otherwise settle the obligations with the counterparties at the
reporting date.
NOTE
19: Significant Estimates
Accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America require disclosure
of certain significant estimates and current vulnerabilities due to certain
concentrations. Estimates related to the allowance for loan losses are described
in Note 1.

Controls
and Procedures
An
evaluation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in
Rule13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act")) as
of June 30, 2015, was carried out under the supervision and with the
participation of our Chief Executive Officer, our Chief Financial Officer, and
several other members of our senior management. Our Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures
were effective as of June 30, 2015 in ensuring that the information required to
be disclosed in the reports the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act
is (i) accumulated and communicated to our management (including the Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) in a timely manner, and (ii)
recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified
in the SEC's rules and forms. We intend to continually review and evaluate the
design and effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures and
to improve the Company's controls and procedures over time and to correct any
deficiencies that we may discover in the future. The goal is to ensure that
senior management has timely access to all material financial and non-financial
information concerning the Company's business. While we believe the present
design of the disclosure controls and procedures is effective to achieve its
goal, future events affecting its business may cause the Company to modify its
disclosure controls and procedures. There have been no changes in our internal
control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Act)
that occurred during the year ended June 30, 2015, that has materially affected,
or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over
financial reporting.
The
Company does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures and internal
control over financial reporting will prevent all error and all fraud. A control
procedure, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only
reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control procedure
are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control procedures, no
evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues
and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These
inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can
be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.
Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some
persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the
control. The design of any control procedure also is based in part upon certain
assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance
that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential
future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes
in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may
deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control
procedure, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be
detected.
Management's
Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
The
management of Southern Missouri Bancorp, Inc. is responsible for establishing
and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term
is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). The Company's internal control over
financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance to the
Company's management and board of directors regarding the reliability of
financial reporting and the preparation of the financial statements for external
purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America.
The
Company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and
procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable
detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the
assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are
recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only
in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company;
and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection
of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company's assets that
could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because
of its inherent limitations, internal controls over financial reporting may not
prevent or detect misstatements. All internal control systems, no matter how
well designed, have inherent limitations, including the possibility of human
error and the circumvention of overriding controls. Accordingly, even effective
internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance
with respect to financial statement preparation. Also,
109
projections
of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk
that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that
the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Our
management assessed the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over
financial reporting as of June 30, 2015. In making this assessment, it used the
criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission (COSO) in Internal
Control-Integrated Framework (1992). Based on our assessment, we believe that,
as of June 30, 2015, the Company's internal control over financial reporting was
effective based on those criteria.

Report
of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Audit
Committee, Board of Directors
and
Stockholders
Southern
Missouri Bancorp, Inc.
Poplar
Bluff, Missouri
We
have audited Southern Missouri Bancorp, Inc.'s ("Company") internal control over
financial reporting as of June 30, 2015 based on criteria established in Internal
Control - Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company's
management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over
financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal
control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's
Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is
to express an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting
based on our audit.
We
conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that
we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all
material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of
internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material
weakness exists and testing and evaluating the design and operating
effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit
also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the
circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for
our opinion.
A
company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to
provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting
and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal
control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1)
pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and
fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;
(2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to
permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are
being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of
the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely
detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company's
assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because
of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not
prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of
effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become
inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance
with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In
our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective
internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2015 based on criteria
established in Internal
Control - Integrated
Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission (COSO).
We
have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated financial
statements of the Company and our report dated September 14, 2014 expressed an
unqualified opinion thereon.
