NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.	BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and therefore do not include information or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). However, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018, are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire fiscal year.

2.	RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (a new revenue recognition standard). The Update’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, this Update specifies the accounting for certain costs to obtain or fulfill a contract with a customer and expands disclosure requirements for revenue recognition. This Update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will have on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. This Update applies to all entities that hold financial assets or owe financial liabilities and is intended to provide more useful information on the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. Among other things, this Update (a) requires equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income; (b) simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment; (c) eliminates the requirement to disclose the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost for entities that are not public business entities; (d) eliminates the requirement for public business entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet; (e) requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes; (f) requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset (that is, securities or loans and receivables) on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financial statements; and (g) clarifies that an entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities in combination with the entity’s other deferred tax assets. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, including not-for-profit entities and employee benefit plans within the scope of Topics 960 through 965 on plan accounting, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. All entities that are not public business entities may adopt the amendments in this Update earlier as of the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will have on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The standard requires lessees to recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from leases on the balance sheet. A lessee should recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. A short-term lease is defined as one in which (a) the lease term is 12 months or less and (b) there is not an option to purchase the underlying asset that the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise. For short-term leases, lessees may elect to recognize lease payments over the lease term on a straight-line basis. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those years. For all other entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The amendments should be applied at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach with earlier application permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will have on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The amendments in this Update affect entities with transactions included within the scope of Topic 606, which includes entities that enter into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services (that are an output of the entity’s ordinary activities) in exchange for consideration. The amendments in this Update do not change the core principle of the guidance in Topic 606; they simply clarify the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. The amendments in this Update are intended to improve the operability and understandability of the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. The amendments in this Update affect the guidance in ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which is not yet effective. The effective date and transition requirements for the amendments in this Update are the same as the effective date and transition requirements of Update 2014-09. ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, defers the effective date of Update 2014-09 by one year. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will have on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The amendments in this Update affect entities with transactions included within the scope of Topic 606, which includes entities that enter into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services in exchange for consideration. The amendments in this Update do not change the core principle for revenue recognition in Topic 606. Instead, the amendments provide (1) more detailed guidance in a few areas and (2) additional implementation guidance and examples based on feedback the FASB received from its stakeholders. The amendments are expected to reduce the degree of judgment necessary to comply with Topic 606, which the FASB expects will reduce the potential for diversity arising in practice and reduce the cost and complexity of applying the guidance. The amendments in this Update affect the guidance in ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which is not yet effective. The effective date and transition requirements for the amendments in this Update are the same as the effective date and transition requirements in Topic 606 (and any other Topic amended by Update 2014-09). ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, defers the effective date of Update 2014-09 by one year. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will have on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which among other things clarifies the objective of the collectability criterion in Topic 606, as well as certain narrow aspects of Topic 606. The amendments in this Update affect the guidance in ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which is not yet effective. The effective date and transition requirements for the amendments in this Update are the same as the effective date and transition requirements for Topic 606 (and any other Topic amended by Update 2014-09). ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, defers the effective date of Update 2014-09 by one year. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”), which changes the impairment model for most financial assets. This Update is intended to improve financial reporting by requiring timelier recording of credit losses on loans and other financial instruments held by financial institutions and other organizations. The underlying premise of the Update is that financial assets measured at amortized cost should be presented at the net amount expected to be collected, through an allowance for credit losses that is deducted from the amortized cost basis. The allowance for credit losses should reflect management’s current estimate of credit losses that are expected to occur over the remaining life of a financial asset. The income statement will be effected for the measurement of credit losses for newly recognized financial assets, as well as the expected increases or decreases of expected credit losses that have taken place during the period. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is permitted for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. With certain exceptions, transition to the new requirements will be through a cumulative effect adjustment to opening retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is adopted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will have on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (“ASU 2016-15”), which addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing diversity in practice. Among these include recognizing cash payments for debt prepayment or debt extinguishment as cash outflows for financing activities; cash proceeds received from the settlement of insurance claims should be classified on the basis of the related insurance coverage; and cash proceeds received from the settlement of bank-owned life insurance policies should be classified as cash inflows from investing activities while the cash payments for premiums on bank-owned policies may be classified as cash outflows for investing activities, operating activities, or a combination of investing and operating activities. The amendments in this Update are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. An entity that elects early adoption must adopt all of the amendments in the same period. The amendments in this Update should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. If it is impracticable to apply the amendments retrospectively for some of the issues, the amendments for those issues would be applied prospectively as of the earliest date practicable. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will have on the Company’s statement of cash flows.

In December 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-20, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers “ASU 2016-20”. This Update, among others things, clarifies that guarantee fees within the scope of Topic 460, Guarantees, (other than product or service warranties) are not within the scope of Topic 606. The effective date and transition requirements for ASU 2016-20 are the same as the effective date and transition requirements for the new revenue recognition guidance. For public entities with a calendar year-end, the new guidance is effective in the quarter and year beginning January 1, 2018. For all other entities with a calendar year-end, the new guidance is effective in the year ending December 31, 2019, and interim periods in 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will have on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718), which affects any entity that changes the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. This Update amends the definition of modification by qualifying that modification accounting does not apply to changes to outstanding share-based payment awards that do not affect the total fair value, vesting requirements, or equity/liability classification of the awards. The amendments in the Update are effective for all entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after

December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period, for (1) public business entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued and (2) all other entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been made available for issuance. The amendments in this Update should be applied prospectively to an award modified on or after the adoption date. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will have on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In January 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-1, Leases (Topic 842), which provides an optional transition practical expedient to not evaluate under Topic 842 existing or expired land easements that were not previously accounted for as leases under the current lease guidance in Topic 840. An entity that elects this practical expedient should evaluate new or modified land easements under Topic 842 beginning at the date the entity adopts Topic 842; otherwise, an entity should evaluate all existing or expired land easements in connection with the adoption of the new lease requirements in Topic 842 to assess whether they meet the definition of a lease. The effective date and transition requirements for the amendments are the same as the effective date and transition requirements in ASU 2016-02. This Update is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), to allow a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Consequently, the amendments eliminate the stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and will improve the usefulness of information reported to financial statement users. The amendments in this Update are effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the amendments in this Update is permitted, including adoption in any interim period, (1) for public business entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued and (2) for all other entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been made available for issuance. The amendments in this Update should be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period (or periods) in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is recognized. Upon adoption on December 31, 2017, the Company made a one-time cumulative effect adjustment from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings of $15 thousand.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-03, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10), to clarify certain aspects of the guidance issued in ASU 2016-01. (1) An entity measuring an equity security using the measurement alternative may change its measurement approach to a fair value method in accordance with Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, through an irrevocable election that would apply to that security and all identical or similar investments of the same issuer. Once an entity makes this election, the entity should measure all future purchases of identical or similar investments of the same issuer using a fair value method in accordance with Topic 820. (2) Adjustments made under the measurement alternative are intended to reflect the fair value of the security as of the date that the observable transaction for a similar security took place. (3) Remeasuring the entire value of forward contracts and purchased options is required when observable transactions occur on the underlying equity securities. (4) When the fair value option is elected for a financial liability, the guidance in paragraph 825-10- 45-5 should be applied, regardless of whether the fair value option was elected under either Subtopic 815-15, Derivatives and Hedging – Embedded Derivatives, or 825-10, Financial Instruments – Overall. (5) Financial liabilities for which the fair value option is elected, the amount of change in fair value that relates to the instrument specific credit risk should first be measured in the currency of denomination when presented separately from the total change in fair value of the financial liability. Then, both components of the change in the fair value of the liability should be remeasured into the functional currency of the reporting entity using end-of-period spot rates. (6) The prospective transition approach for equity securities without a readily determinable fair value in the amendments in Update 2016-01 is meant only for instances in which the measurement alternative is applied. An insurance entity subject to the guidance in Topic 944, Financial Services – Insurance, should apply a prospective transition method when applying the amendments related to equity securities without readily determinable fair values. An insurance entity should apply the selected prospective transition method consistently to the entity’s entire population of equity securities for which the measurement alternative is elected. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are

effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2018. Public business entities with fiscal years beginning between December 15, 2017, and June 15, 2018, are not required to adopt these amendments until the interim period beginning after June 15, 2018, and public business entities with fiscal years beginning between June 15, 2018, and December 15, 2018, are not required to adopt these amendments before adopting the amendments in Update 2016-01. For all other entities, the effective date is the same as the effective date in Update 2016-01. All entities may early adopt these amendments for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years, as long as they have adopted Update 2016-01. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of the standard will have on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

3.	EARNINGS PER SHARE

The following table sets forth the computation of the weighted-average common shares used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share.


	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended
	March 31,						March 31,
	2018			2017			2018			2017
Weighted average common shares issued		3,805,636			3,805,636			3,805,636			3,805,636
Average treasury stock shares		(1,797,492	)		(1,797,492	)		(1,797,492	)		(1,794,991	)
Average unallocated ESOP shares		(179,861	)		(125,551	)		(181,576	)		(130,718	)


Weighted average common shares and common stock equivalents used to calculate basic earnings per share		1,828,283			1,882,593			1,826,568			1,879,927
Additional common stock equivalents (stock options) used to calculate diluted earnings per share		1,467			-			489			-


Weighted average common shares and common stock equivalents used to calculate diluted earnings per share		1,829,750			1,882,593			1,827,057			1,879,927

There are no convertible securities that would affect the numerator in calculating basic and diluted earnings per share; therefore, net income as presented on the Consolidated Statement of Income is used.

At March 31, 2018 and 2017, there were 114,519 options outstanding with an exercise price of $16.20.

4.	STOCK BASED COMPENSATION DISCLOSURE

The Company’s 2008 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), which was approved by shareholders in October 2008, permits the grant of stock options or restricted shares to its directors and employees for up to 152,000 shares (up to 38,000 restricted shares may be issued). Option awards are generally granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s stock at the date of grant; those option awards generally vest over five years of continuous service and have ten-year contractual terms.

During the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company recorded no compensation expense related to our share-based compensation awards. As of March 31, 2018, there was no unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested share-based compensation awards granted in fiscal 2009.

All of the Company’s outstanding stock options were vested at March 31, 2018 and 2017. There were no stock options exercised or issued during the nine months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017.

6.	MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES

Mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) include mortgage pass-through certificates (“PCs”) and collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”). With a pass-through security, investors own an undivided interest in the pool of mortgages that collateralize the PCs. Principal and interest is passed through to the investor as it is generated by the mortgages underlying the pool. PCs and CMOs may be insured or guaranteed by Freddie Mac (“FHLMC”), Fannie Mae (“FNMA”) and the Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA”). CMOs may also be privately issued with varying degrees of credit enhancements. A CMO reallocates mortgage pool cash flow to a series of bonds (called traunches) with varying stated maturities, estimated average lives, coupon rates and prepayment characteristics.

The Company’s CMO portfolio is comprised of two segments: CMOs backed by U.S. Government Agencies (“Agency CMOs”) and CMOs backed by single-family whole loans not guaranteed by a U.S. Government Agency (“private-label CMOs”).

At March 31, 2018, the Company’s Agency CMOs totaled $118.8 million as compared to $128.2 million at June 30, 2017. The Company’s private-label CMOs totaled $941 thousand at March 31, 2018 as compared to $1.1 million at June 30, 2017. The $9.4 million decrease in the CMO segment of our MBS portfolio was primarily due to repayments on our Agency and private-label CMOs which totaled $9.4 million and $236 thousand, respectively. At March 31, 2018 and June 30, 2017, the Company’s MBS portfolio, including CMOs, were comprised of adjustable or floating rate investments. Substantially all of the Company’s floating rate MBSs adjust monthly based upon changes in the one month LIBOR. The Company has no investment in multi-family or commercial real estate based MBS.

Due to prepayments of the underlying loans, and the prepayment characteristics of the CMO traunches, the actual maturities of the Company’s MBSs are expected to be substantially less than the scheduled maturities.

The Company retains an independent third party to assist it in the determination of a fair value for its three private-label CMOs. This valuation is meant to be a “Level Three” valuation as defined by ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. The valuation does not represent the actual terms or prices at which any party could purchase the securities. There is currently no active secondary market for private-label CMOs and there can be no assurance that any secondary market for private-label CMOs will develop. The private-label CMO portfolio had three previously recorded other-than-temporary impairments at March 31, 2018. During the nine months ending March 31, 2018, the Company reversed $61 thousand of non-credit unrealized holding losses on its three private-label CMOs with OTTI due to principal repayments. During the nine months ended March 31, 2018, the Company recorded an $8 thousand additional credit impairment charges on its private-label CMO portfolio.

The Company believes that the data and assumptions used to determine the fair values are reasonable. The fair value calculations reflect relevant facts and market conditions. Events and conditions occurring after the valuation date could have a material effect on the private-label CMO segment’s fair value.

The following table sets forth information with respect to the Company’s private-label CMO portfolio as of March 31, 2018. At the time of purchase, all of our private-label CMOs were rated in the highest investment category by at least two ratings agencies.

For debt securities, impairment is considered to be other than temporary if an entity (1) intends to sell the security, (2) more likely than not will be required to sell the security before recovering its amortized cost basis, or (3) does not expect to recover the security’s entire amortized cost basis (even if the entity does not intend to sell the security). In addition, impairment is considered to be other than temporary if the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the debt security is less than the amortized cost basis of the security (any such shortfall is referred to as a credit loss).

The Company evaluates outstanding available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities in an unrealized loss position (i.e., impaired securities) for other than temporary impairment (“OTTI”) on a quarterly basis. In doing so, the Company considers many factors including, but not limited to: the credit ratings assigned to the securities by the Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organizations (NRSROs); other indicators of the credit quality of the issuer; the strength of the provider of any

⁴ U.S. dollar denominated investment-grade corporate bonds of large foreign corporate issuers.

guarantees; the length of time and extent that fair value has been less than amortized cost; and whether the Company has the intent to sell the security or more likely than not will be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery. In the case of its private label residential MBS, the Company also considers prepayment speeds, the historical and projected performance of the underlying loans and the credit support provided by the subordinate securities. These evaluations are inherently subjective and consider a number of quantitative and qualitative factors.

The following table presents a roll-forward of the credit loss component of the amortized cost of mortgage-backed securities that we have written down for OTTI and the credit component of the loss that is recognized in earnings. OTTI recognized in earnings for credit impaired mortgage-backed securities is presented as additions in two components based upon whether the current period is the first time the mortgage-backed security was credit-impaired (initial credit impairment) or is not the first time the mortgage-backed security was credit impaired (subsequent credit impairments). The credit loss component is reduced if we sell, intend to sell or believe that we will be required to sell previously credit-impaired mortgage-backed securities. Additionally, the credit loss component is reduced if we receive cash flows in excess of what we expected to receive over the remaining life of the credit impaired mortgage-backed securities, the security matures or is fully written down.

During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company recorded no credit impairment charge and no non-credit unrealized holding loss to accumulated other comprehensive income. During the nine months ended March 31, 2018, the Company recorded an $8 thousand credit impairment charge and no non-credit unrealized holding loss to accumulated other comprehensive income. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018, the Company accreted back into other comprehensive income $13 thousand and $11 thousand, respectively, (net of income tax effect of $3 thousand and $18 thousand, respectively), based on principal repayments on private-label CMOs previously identified with OTTI.

In the case of its private-label residential CMOs that exhibit adverse risk characteristics, the Company employs models to determine the cash flows that it is likely to collect from the securities. These models consider borrower characteristics and the particular attributes of the loans underlying the securities, in conjunction with assumptions about future changes in home prices and interest rates, to predict the likelihood a loan will default and the impact on default frequency, loss severity and remaining credit enhancement. A significant input to these models is the forecast of future housing price changes for the relevant states and metropolitan statistical areas, which are based upon an assessment of the various housing markets. In general, since the ultimate receipt of contractual payments on these securities will depend upon the credit and prepayment performance of the underlying loans and, if needed, the credit enhancements for the senior securities owned by the Company, the Company uses these models to assess whether the credit enhancement associated with each security is sufficient to protect against likely

losses of principal and interest on the underlying mortgage loans. The development of the modeling assumptions requires significant judgment.

In conjunction with our adoption of ASC Topic 820 effective June 30, 2009, the Company retained an independent third party to assist it with assessing its investments within the private-label CMO portfolio. The independent third party utilized certain assumptions for producing the cash flow analysis used in the OTTI assessment. Key assumptions would include interest rates, expected market participant spreads and discount rates, housing prices, projected future delinquency levels and assumed loss rates on any liquidated collateral.

The Company reviewed the independent third party’s assumptions used in the March 31, 2018 OTTI process. Based on the results of this review, the Company deemed the independent third party’s assumptions to be reasonable and adopted them. However, different assumptions could produce materially different results, which could impact the Company’s conclusions as to whether an impairment is considered other-than-temporary and the magnitude of the credit loss. Management believes that no additional private-label CMOs in the portfolio had an other-than-temporary impairment at March 31, 2018, keeping the total at three private-label CMOs with OTTI at March 31, 2018.

If the Company intends to sell an impaired debt security, or more likely than not will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, the impairment is other-than-temporary and is recognized currently in earnings in an amount equal to the entire difference between fair value and amortized cost. The Company does not anticipate selling its private-label CMO portfolio, nor does Management believe that the Company will be required to sell these securities before recovery of this amortized cost basis.

In instances in which the Company determines that a credit loss exists but the Company does not intend to sell the security and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before the anticipated recovery of its remaining amortized cost basis, the OTTI is separated into (1) the amount of the total impairment related to the credit loss and (2) the amount of the total impairment related to all other factors (i.e., the noncredit portion). The amount of the total OTTI related to the credit loss is recognized in earnings and the amount of the total OTTI related to all other factors is recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss. The total OTTI is presented in the Consolidated Statement of Income with an offset for the amount of the total OTTI that is recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss. Absent the intent or requirement to sell a security, if a credit loss does not exist, any impairment is considered to be temporary.

Regardless of whether an OTTI is recognized in its entirety in earnings or if the credit portion is recognized in earnings and the noncredit portion is recognized in other comprehensive income (loss), the estimation of fair values has a significant impact on the amount(s) of any impairment that is recorded.

The noncredit portion of any OTTI losses on securities classified as available-for-sale is adjusted to fair value with an offsetting adjustment to the carrying value of the security. The fair value adjustment could increase or decrease the carrying value of the security. All of the Company’s private-label CMOs were originally, and continue to be classified, as held to maturity.

In periods subsequent to the recognition of an OTTI loss, the other-than-temporarily impaired debt security is accounted for as if it had been purchased on the measurement date of the OTTI at an amount equal to the previous amortized cost basis less the credit-related OTTI recognized in earnings. For debt securities for which credit-related OTTI is recognized in earnings, the difference between the new cost basis and the cash flows expected to be collected is accreted into interest income over the remaining life of the security in a prospective manner based on the amount and timing of future estimated cash flows.

The Company had investments in 56 positions that were impaired at March 31, 2018. Based on its analysis, management has concluded that three private-label CMOs are other-than-temporarily impaired, while the remaining securities portfolio has experienced unrealized losses and a decrease in

fair value due to interest rate volatility, illiquidity in the marketplace, or credit deterioration in the U.S. mortgage markets.

Impaired loans are loans for which it is probable the Company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. The following loan categories are collectively evaluated for impairment. First mortgage loans: 1 – 4 family dwellings and all consumer loan categories (home equity, home equity lines of credit, and other). The following loan categories are individually evaluated for impairment. First mortgage loans: construction, land acquisition and development, multi-family dwellings, and commercial. The Company evaluates commercial loans not secured by real property individually for impairment.

The definition of “impaired loans” is not the same as the definition of “nonaccrual loans,” although the two categories overlap. The Company may choose to place a loan on nonaccrual status due to payment delinquency or uncertain collectability, while not classifying the loan as impaired if the loan is not a commercial or commercial real estate loan. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status and collateral value. The amount of impairment for these types of impaired loans is determined by the difference between the present value of the expected cash flows related to the loan, using the original interest rate, and its recorded value, or as a practical expedient in the case of collateralized loans, the difference between the fair value of the collateral and the recorded amount of the loans. When foreclosure is probable, impairment is measured based on the fair value of the collateral.

Loans that experience insignificant payment delays, which are defined as 90 days or less, generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays on a case-by-case basis taking into consideration all circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed.

At March 31, 2018 and June 30, 2017 there were no loans considered to be impaired.

Total nonaccrual loans as of March 31, 2018 and June 30, 2017 and the related interest income recognized for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017 are as follows:

The Company’s loan portfolio may also include troubled debt restructurings (TDRs), where economic concessions have been granted to borrowers who have experienced or are expected to experience financial difficulties. These concessions typically result from the Company’s 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 restructure and may only be returned to performing status after considering the borrower’s sustained repayment performance for a reasonable period, generally six months.

During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018 and March 31, 2017, there were no troubled debt restructurings, and no troubled debt restructurings that subsequently defaulted.

When the Company modifies a loan, management evaluates any possible impairment based on the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the contractual interest rate of the original loan agreement, except when the sole (remaining) source of repayment for the loan is the operation or liquidation of the collateral. In these cases, management uses the current fair value of the collateral, less selling costs, instead of discounted cash flows. If management 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 by segment or class of loan, as applicable, through an allowance estimate or a charge-off to the allowance. Segment and class status is determined by the loan’s classification at origination.

The allowance for loan losses is established through provisions for loan losses charged against income. Loans deemed to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance account. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. The allowance is maintained at a level believed adequate by management to absorb estimated potential loan losses. Management’s determination of the adequacy of the allowance is based on periodic evaluations of the loan portfolio considering past experience, current economic conditions, composition of the loan portfolio and other relevant factors. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires material estimates that may be susceptible to significant change.

Effective December 13, 2006, the FDIC, in conjunction with the other federal banking agencies adopted a Revised Interagency Policy Statement on the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses (“ALLL”). The revised policy statement revised and replaced the banking agencies’ 1993 policy statement on the ALLL. The revised policy statement provides that an institution must maintain an ALLL at a level that is appropriate to cover estimated credit losses on individually evaluated loans determined to be impaired, as well as estimated credit losses inherent in the remainder of the loan and lease portfolio. The banking agencies also revised the policy to ensure consistency with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The revised policy statement updates the previous guidance that describes the responsibilities of the board of directors, management, and bank examiners regarding the ALLL, factors to be considered in the estimation of the ALLL, and the objectives and elements of an effective loan review system.

Federal regulations require that each insured savings institution classify its assets on a regular basis. In addition, in connection with examinations of insured institutions, federal examiners have authority to identify problem assets and, if appropriate, classify them. There are three classifications for problem assets: “substandard”, “doubtful” and “loss”. Substandard assets 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 those classified as substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values questionable, and there is a high possibility of loss. An asset classified as loss is considered uncollectible and of such little value that continuance as an asset of the institution is not warranted. Another category designated “asset watch” is also utilized by the Bank for assets which do not currently expose an insured institution to a sufficient degree of risk to warrant classification as substandard, doubtful or loss. Assets classified as substandard or doubtful require the institution to establish general allowances for loan losses. If an asset or portion thereof is classified as loss, the insured institution must either establish specific allowances for loan losses in the amount of 100% of the portion of the asset classified loss, or charge-off such amount. General loss allowances established to cover possible losses related to assets classified substandard or doubtful may be included in determining an institution’s regulatory capital, while specific valuation allowances for loan losses do not qualify as regulatory capital.

The Company’s general policy is to internally classify its assets on a regular basis and establish prudent general valuation allowances that are adequate to absorb losses that have not been identified but that are inherent in the loan portfolio. The Company maintains general valuation allowances that it believes are adequate to absorb losses in its loan portfolio that are not clearly attributable to specific loans. The Company’s general valuation allowances are within the following general ranges: (1) 0% to 5% of assets subject to special mention; (2) 1.00% to 100% of assets classified substandard; and (3) 50% to 100% of assets classified doubtful. Any loan classified as loss is charged-off. To further monitor and assess the risk characteristics of the loan portfolio, loan delinquencies are reviewed to consider any developing problem loans. Based upon the procedures in place, considering the Company’s past charge-offs and recoveries and

assessing the current risk elements in the portfolio, management believes the allowance for loan losses at March 31, 2018, is adequate.

The following tables present the classes of the loan portfolio summarized by the aging categories of performing loans and nonaccrual loans as of March 31, 2018 and June 30, 2017:

Credit quality information

The following tables represent credit exposure by internally assigned grades for the period ended March 31, 2018. The grading system analysis estimates the capability of the borrower to repay the contractual obligations of the loan agreements as scheduled or not at all. The Company’s internal credit risk grading system is based on experiences with similarly graded loans.

The Company’s internally assigned grades are as follows:

Pass – loans which are protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or by the value of the underlying collateral.

Special Mention – loans where a potential weakness or risk exists, which could cause a more serious problem if not corrected.

Substandard – loans that have a well-defined weakness based on objective evidence and can be characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful – loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in a substandard loan. In addition, these weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full highly questionable and improbable, based on existing circumstances.

Loss – loans classified as loss are considered uncollectible, or of such value that continuance as a loan is not warranted.

The primary credit quality indicator used by management in the 1 – 4 family and consumer loan portfolios is the performance status of the loans. Payment activity is reviewed by Management on a monthly basis to determine how loans are performing. Loans are considered to be non-performing when they become 90 days delinquent, have a history of delinquency, or have other inherent characteristics which Management deems to be weaknesses.

The following tables present the Company’s internally classified construction, land acquisition and development, multi-family dwellings, commercial real estate and commercial (not secured by real estate) loans at March 31, 2018 and June 30, 2017.

The Company determines its allowance for loan losses in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Company uses a systematic methodology as required by Financial Reporting Release No. 28 and the various Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council guidelines. The Company also endeavors to adhere to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 102 in connection with loan loss allowance methodology and documentation issues.

Our methodology used to determine the allocated portion of the allowance is as follows. For groups of homogenous loans, we apply a loss rate to the groups’ aggregate balance. Our group loss rate reflects our historical loss experience. We may adjust these group rates to compensate for changes in environmental factors; but our adjustments have not been frequent due to a relatively stable charge-off experience. The Company also monitors industry loss experience on similar loan portfolio segments. We then identify loans for individual evaluation under ASC Topic 310. If the individually identified loans are performing, we apply a segment specific loss rate adjusted for relevant environmental factors, if necessary, for those loans reviewed individually and considered individually impaired, we use one of the three methods for measuring impairment mandated by ASC Topic 310. Generally the fair value of collateral is used since our impaired loans are generally real estate based. In connection with the fair value of collateral measurement, the Company generally uses an independent appraisal and determines costs to sell. The Company’s appraisals for

commercial income based loans, such as multi-family and commercial real estate loans, assess value based upon the operating cash flows of the business as opposed to merely “as built” values. The Company then validates the reasonableness of our calculated allowances by: (1) reviewing trends in loan volume, delinquencies, restructurings and concentrations; (2) reviewing prior period (historical) charge-offs and recoveries; and (3) presenting the results of this process, quarterly, to the Asset Classification Committee and the Savings Bank’s Board of Directors. We then tabulate, format and summarize the current loan loss allowance balance for financial and regulatory reporting purposes.

The Company had no unallocated loss allowance balances at March 31, 2018 and June 30, 2017.

The allowance for loan losses represents the amount which management estimates is adequate to provide for probable losses inherent in its loan portfolio. The allowance method is used in providing for loan losses. Accordingly, all loan losses are charged to the allowance, and all recoveries are credited to it. The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged to operations. The provision for loan losses is based on management’s periodic evaluation of individual loans, economic factors, past loan loss experience, changes in the composition and volume of the portfolio, and other relevant factors. The estimates used in determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, including the amounts and timing of future cash flows expected on impaired loans, are particularly susceptible to changes in the near term.

The following tables summarize the primary segments of the allowance for loan losses (“ALLL”), segregated into the amount required for loans individually evaluated for impairment and the amount required for loans collectively evaluated for impairment as of March 31, 2018 and 2017. Activity in the allowance is presented for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017.

For the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2018, the ALLL associated with the 1-4 family loan portfolio increased by $13 thousand and $35 thousand, respectively, primarily due to an increase in the Company’s reserve factor on the 1-4 family permanent loan segment. Additionally, the 1-4 family loan balances increased during these periods. For both periods of 2018, the changes in the ALLL balances associated with the other loan segments were driven by changes in the applicable loan balances.

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the primary changes to the ALLL were comprised of a $27 thousand increase attributable to 1-4 family loans and a $5 thousand increase attributable to commercial real estate loans which were partially offset by a $15 thousand decrease attributable to construction loans.

During the nine months ended March 31, 2017, the ALLL associated with 1-4 family loans increased $66 thousand, while the ALLL associated with construction loans decreased $21 thousand.

The primary reason for the changes in the ALLL balance for both periods of 2018, in total, and within the identified segments, is changes in applicable loan balances.

The terms of the convertible advances reset to the three-month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and have various spreads and call dates of three months. The FHLB had the right to convert from a fixed rate to a predetermined floating rate on its conversion date or quarterly thereafter. Should the advance be converted, the Company had the right to pay off the advance without penalty.

The adjustable rate advances adjusted either monthly or quarterly, based on the one-month or three-month LIBOR index, and had various spreads to the LIBOR index. The spreads to the applicable LIBOR index ranged from 0.05% to 0.16%. The adjustable rate advances were not convertible or callable. The FHLB advances were secured by the Company’s FHLB stock, mortgage-backed and investment securities, and loans, and were subject to substantial prepayment penalties.

The Company also utilized revolving and short-term FHLB advances. Short-term FHLB advances generally mature within 90 days, while revolving FHLB advances may be repaid by the Company without penalty. The following table presents information regarding such advances as of March 31, 2018 and June 30, 2017:

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for an asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP established a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the use of inputs used in valuation methodologies into the following three levels:


Level I:		Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reported date.

Level II:		Pricing inputs are other than the quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date. The nature of these assets and liabilities includes items for which quoted prices are available but traded less frequently and items that are fair-valued using other financial instruments, the parameters of which can be directly observed.

Level III:		Assets and liabilities that have little to no pricing observability as of the reported date. These items do not have two-way markets and are measured using management’s best estimate of fair value, where the inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation.

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Investment Securities Available-for-Sale

Fair values for securities available for sale are determined by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges or matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities, but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities. The Company has no Level I or Level III investment securities. Level II investment securities were primarily comprised of investment-grade corporate bonds and U.S. dollar-denominated investment-grade corporate bonds of large foreign issuers.

The following tables present the assets reported on a recurring basis on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at their fair value as of March 31, 2018 and June 30, 2017, by level within the fair value hierarchy. As required by GAAP, financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

The Company may be required, from time to time, to measure certain financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. These include assets that are measured at the lower of cost or market value that were recognized at fair value below cost at the end of the period. The Company had no assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.

Impaired Loans

Loans for which it is probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement are considered impaired. Once a loan is identified as individually impaired, management measures impairment in accordance with ASC Topic 310. The fair value of impaired loans is estimated using one of several methods, including collateral value, liquidation value and discounted cash flows. Those impaired loans not requiring an allowance represent loans for which the fair value of the expected repayments or collateral exceed the recorded investments in such loans. Collateral values are estimated using Level II inputs based on observable market data or Level III inputs based on customized discounting criteria. For a majority of impaired real estate related loans, the Company obtains a current external appraisal. Other valuation techniques are used as well, including internal valuations, comparable property analysis and contractual sales information. The Company had no Level I, Level II or Level III impaired loans at March 31, 2018 and June 30, 2017.

Financial instruments are defined as cash, evidence of an ownership interest in an entity, or a contract which creates an obligation or right to receive or deliver cash or another financial instrument from or to a second entity on potentially favorable or unfavorable terms.

Fair value is defined as the amount at which a financial instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. If a quoted market price is available for a financial instrument, the estimated fair value would be calculated based upon the market price per trading unit of the instrument.

If no readily available market exists, the fair value estimates for financial instruments should be based upon management’s judgment regarding current economic conditions, interest rate risk, expected cash flows, future estimated losses, and other factors, as determined through various option pricing formulas or simulation modeling. As many of these assumptions result from judgments made by management based upon estimates, which are inherently uncertain, the resulting estimated values may not be indicative of the amount realizable in the sale of a particular financial instrument. In addition, changes in the assumptions on which the estimated values are based may have a significant impact on the resulting estimated values.

As certain assets and liabilities, such as deferred tax assets, premises and equipment, and many other operational elements of the Company, are not considered financial instruments, but have value, this estimated fair value of financial instruments would not represent the full market value of the Company.

Estimated fair values have been determined by the Company using the best available data, as generally provided in internal Savings Bank regulatory, or third party valuation reports, using an estimation methodology suitable for each category of financial instruments. The estimation methodologies used are as follows:

Cash and Cash Equivalents, Certificates of Deposit, Accrued Interest Receivable and Payable, and FHLB Short-term Advances

The fair value approximates the current carrying value.

Investment Securities, Mortgage-Backed Securities, and FHLB Stock

The fair value of investment and mortgage-backed securities is equal to the available quoted market price. If no quoted market price is available, fair value is estimated using the quoted market price for similar securities. For discussion of valuation of private-label CMOs, see Note 8 “Unrealized Losses on Securities”. Since the FHLB stock is not actively traded on a secondary market and held exclusively by member financial institutions, the estimated fair market value approximates the carrying amount.

Net Loans Receivable, Deposits, and Advance Payments by Borrowers for Taxes and Insurance

Fair value for consumer mortgage loans is estimated using market quotes or discounting contractual cash flows for prepayment estimates. Discount rates were obtained from secondary market sources, adjusted to reflect differences in servicing, credit, and other characteristics.

The estimated fair values for consumer, fixed-rate commercial, and multi-family real estate loans are estimated by discounting contractual cash flows for prepayment estimates. Discount rates are based upon rates generally charged for such loans with similar credit characteristics.

The estimated fair value for nonperforming loans is the appraised value of the underlying collateral adjusted for estimated credit risk.

Demand, savings, money market deposit accounts, and advance payments by borrowers for taxes and insurance are reported at book value. The fair value of certificates of deposit is based upon the discounted value of the contractual cash flows. The discount rate is estimated using average market rates for deposits with similar average terms.

Bank Owned Life Insurance (“BOLI”)

The fair value of BOLI approximates the cash surrender value of the policies at these dates.

FHLB Advances – Fixed and Variable Rate

The fair values of fixed-rate advances are estimated using discounted cash flows, based on current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements. The carrying amount on variable rate advances approximates their fair value.

Commitments to Extend Credit

These financial instruments are generally not subject to sale, and estimated fair values are not readily available. The carrying value, represented by the net deferred fee arising from the unrecognized commitment, and the fair value, determined by discounting the remaining contractual fee over the term of the commitment using fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements with similar credit risk, is not considered material for disclosure.

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2018

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

In the normal course of business, we, in an effort to help keep our shareholders and the public informed about our operations, may from time to time issue or make certain statements, either in writing or orally, that are or contain forward-looking statements, as that term is defined in the U.S. federal securities laws. Generally, these statements relate to business plans or strategies, projected or anticipated benefits from acquisitions made by or to be made by us, projections involving anticipated revenues, earnings, profitability or other aspects of operating results or other future developments in our affairs or the industry in which we conduct business. Forward-looking statements may be identified by reference to a future period or periods or by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “anticipated,” “believe,” ”expect,” ”intend,” “plan,” “estimate” or similar expressions.

Although we believe that the anticipated results or other expectations reflected in our forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, we can give no assurance that those results or expectations will be attained. Forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions (some of which are beyond our control), and as a result actual results may differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ from forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following, as well as those discussed elsewhere herein:

•

our investments in our businesses and in related technology could require additional incremental spending, and might not produce expected deposit and loan growth and anticipated contributions to our earnings;

•

general economic or industry conditions could be less favorable than expected, resulting in a deterioration in credit quality, a change in the allowance for loan losses or a reduced demand for credit or fee-based products and services;

•

changes in the interest rate environment could reduce net interest income and could increase credit losses;

•

the conditions of the securities markets could change, which could adversely affect, among other things, the value or credit quality of our assets, the availability and terms of funding necessary to meet our liquidity needs and our ability to originate loans and leases;

•

changes in the extensive laws, regulations and policies governing financial holding companies and their subsidiaries could alter our business environment or affect our operations;

•

the potential need to adapt to industry changes in information technology systems, on which we are highly dependent, could present operational issues or require significant capital spending;

•

competitive pressures could intensify and affect our profitability, including as a result of continued industry consolidation, the increased availability of financial services from non-banks, technological developments such as the internet or bank regulatory reform; and

•

acts or threats of terrorism and actions taken by the United States or other governments as a result of such acts or threats, including possible military action, could further adversely affect business and economic conditions in the United States generally and in our principal markets, which could have an adverse effect on our financial performance and that of our borrowers and on the financial markets and the price of our common stock.

You should not put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we undertake no obligation to update them in light of new or future events except to the extent required by federal securities laws.

GENERAL

WVS Financial Corp. (the “Company”) is the parent holding company of West View Savings Bank (“West View” or the “Savings Bank”). The Company was organized in July 1993 as a Pennsylvania-chartered unitary bank holding company and acquired 100% of the common stock of the Savings Bank in November 1993.

West View Savings Bank is a Pennsylvania-chartered, FDIC-insured stock savings bank conducting business from six offices in the North Hills suburbs of Pittsburgh. The Savings Bank converted from the mutual to the stock form of ownership in November 1993. The Savings Bank had no subsidiaries at March 31, 2018.

The operating results of the Company depend primarily upon its net interest income, which is determined by the difference between income on interest-earning assets, principally loans, mortgage-backed securities and investment securities, and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities, which consist primarily of deposits and borrowings. The Company’s net income is also affected by its provision for loan losses, as well as the level of its non-interest income, including loan fees and service charges, and its non-interest expenses, such as compensation and employee benefits, income taxes, deposit insurance and occupancy costs.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

The Company’s assets totaled $356.4 million at March 31, 2018, as compared to $351.6 million at June 30, 2017. The $4.8 million or 1.4% increase in total assets was primarily comprised of a $20.3 million increase in investment securities available for sale, a $4.6 million increase in cash and cash equivalents and a $2.7 million increase in net loans receivable, which were partially offset by a $9.8 million decrease in certificates of deposit, a $9.6 million decrease in mortgage-backed securities and a $2.5 million decrease in investment securities classified as held to maturity and a $1.2 million decrease in other assets. The increase in investment securities available for sale were primarily due to purchases of investment grade floating rate corporate bonds totaling $47.4 million, which were partially offset by maturing investments totaling $25.3 million. The decrease in mortgage-backed securities was principally due to repayments of principal totaling $9.6 million. The decrease in certificates of deposit was primarily attributable to maturities of large dollar floating rate certificates of deposit. The decreases in mortgaged-backed securities and certificates of deposit were redeployed into floating rate corporate bond purchases and increases in the single-family loan portfolio. The increase in net loans receivable was principally attributable to increases in the single-family owner occupied segment of the loan portfolio. The decrease in mortgage-backed securities was used primarily to fund the increases in investment securities available for sale and net loans receivable. The decrease in other assets was primarily attributable to a reduction in cash items in the process of collection. See “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk - Asset and Liability Management”.

The Company’s total liabilities increased $3.7 million or 1.2% to $322.3 million as of March 31, 2018 from $318.6 million as of June 30, 2017. The $3.7 million increase in total liabilities was primarily comprised of a $24.0 million or 15.4% increase in FHLB short-term advances, partially offset by a $16.1 million decrease in FHLB long-term advances which matured during the quarter ended September 2017 and a $4.7 million decrease in deposits. The increases in FHLB short-term advances were primarily the result of funding needs for the purchase of investment securities available for sale and repayments of maturing FHLB long-term advances. The $4.7 million decrease in total deposits was primarily attributable to seasonal factors such as income tax payments and possible consumer disintermediation into other investment products. The $436 thousand increase in other liabilities was primarily due to an increase in accrued federal income taxes. See also “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk - Asset and Liability Management”.

Total stockholders’ equity increased $1.1 million or 3.4% to $34.2 million as of March 31, 2018, from $33.0 million as of June 30, 2017. The increase was primarily attributable to Company net income of $1.5 million, which was partially offset by $427 thousand of cash dividends paid on the Company’s common stock.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

General. WVS reported net income of $634 thousand or $0.35 earnings per share (basic and diluted), and $1.5 million or $0.84 earnings per share (basic and diluted), for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018, respectively. Net income increased $208 thousand or 48.8% and earnings per share (basic and diluted) increased $0.12 or 52.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2018, when compared to the same period in 2017. The increase in net income for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was primarily attributable to a $194 thousand increase in net interest income, a $5 thousand decrease in provisions for loan losses and a $30 thousand decrease in income tax expense, which were partially offset by an $11 thousand increase in non-interest expense and a $10 thousand decrease in non-interest income.

For the nine months ended March 31, 2018, net income increased $314 thousand or 25.7% and earnings per share (basic and diluted) increased $0.19 or 29.2%, when compared to the same period in 2017. The increase in net income for the nine months ended March 31, 2018, was primarily attributable to a $525 thousand increase in net interest income and a $28 thousand decrease in provisions for loan losses, which were partially offset by a $239 thousand increase in income tax expense.

Net Interest Income. The Company’s net interest income increased by $194 thousand or 13.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2018, when compared to the same period in 2017. The increase in net interest income is attributable to a $524 thousand increase in interest income, which was partially offset by a $330 thousand increase in interest expense. The increase in interest income was primarily attributable to higher average yields on the Company’s investment and mortgage-backed securities as well as an increase in average loan balances during the three months ended March 31, 2018, when compared to the same period in 2017. The increase in interest expense was primarily attributable to higher rates paid on FHLB short-term borrowings, and higher average balances of FHLB short-term advances outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 2018, when compared to the same period in 2017.

For the nine months ended March 31, 2018, net interest income increased $525 thousand or 12.2% when compared to the same period in 2017. The increase in net interest income was primarily attributable to a $1.4 million increase in interest income, which was partially offset by an $881 thousand increase in interest expense. The increase in interest income was primarily due to higher average yields on investment and mortgage-backed securities, and higher average balances of loans outstanding when compared to the same period in 2017. The increase in net interest income was partially offset by a $281 thousand increase in interest expense which was primarily attributable to both higher average balances and higher average market rates paid on Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) borrowings and higher rates paid on certificates of deposit.

Interest Income. Interest income on net loans receivable increased $49 thousand or 7.0% and $220 thousand or 11.0% for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2017. The increase for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was primarily attributable to a $6.6 million increase in the average balance of net loans receivable outstanding, which was partially offset by a decrease of 6 basis points in the weighted average yield earned on net loans receivable for the three months ended March 31, 2018, when compared to the same period in 2017. The increase for the nine months ended March 31, 2018 was primarily attributable to a $9.4 million increase in the average balance of net loans receivable outstanding, which was partially offset by a decrease of 7 basis points in the weighted average yield earned on net loans receivable for the nine months ended March 31, 2018, when compared to the same period in 2017. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018, the increase in the average balance of loans outstanding was primarily attributable to loan originations in excess of repayments, while the decrease in the average yield earned on net loans receivable was primarily attributable to lower rates on new loans originated. During fiscal 2016, 2017 and into fiscal 2018, the Company enjoyed higher demand for single-family home purchase loans. Substantially all of our loan originations and purchases were fixed-rate with a mix of 15, 20, and 30 year terms.

Interest income on investment securities increased $213 thousand or 38.5% and $521 thousand or 33.3% for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2017. The increase for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was primarily attributable to a $13.7 million increase in the average balance of investment securities outstanding and a 45 basis point increase in the weighted average yield on investment securities, when compared to the same period in 2017. The increase for the nine months ended March 31, 2018 was primarily attributable to an $11.7 million increase in the average balance of investment securities outstanding and an increase in the weighted average yield on investment securities of 38 basis points, when compared to the same period in 2017.

Dividend income on FHLB stock increased $68 thousand or 84.0% and $79 thousand or 32.5% for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2017. The increase in dividends on FHLB stock for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was attributable to a 344 basis point increase in the yield earned on FHLB stock and a $524 thousand increase in the average balance of FHLB stock held during the three months ended March 31, 2018, when compared to the same period in 2017. The increase in dividends on FHLB stock for the nine months ended March 31, 2018 was primarily attributable to a 121 basis point increase in the yield earned on FHLB stock and a $203 thousand increase in the average balance of FHLB stock held during the nine months ended March 31, 2018 when compared to the same period in 2017. The increase in the yields earned in both the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2018, when compared to the same periods in 2017, was primarily due to an increase in the dividend rates paid by the FHLB. Beginning October 1, 2017, the rate earned on activity stock increased from 5.00% to 6.75% annualized and the rate earned on membership stock increased from 2.00% to 3.50% annualized.

Interest income on mortgage-backed securities increased $218 thousand or 37.5% and $598 thousand or 36.2% for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2017. The increase for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was primarily attributable to an 83 basis point increase in the weighted average yield earned on U.S. Government agency mortgage-backed securities, which more than offset a $7.1 million decrease in the average balance of U.S. Government agency mortgage-backed securities, when compared to the same period in 2017. The increase for the nine months ended March 31, 2018 was primarily attributable to a 74 basis point increase in the weighted average yield earned on U.S. Government agency mortgage-backed securities, which more than offset a $7.3 million decrease in the average balance of U.S. Government agency mortgage-backed securities, when compared to the same period in 2017. The decrease in the average balances of U.S. Government and agency private-label mortgage-backed securities during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018 was attributable to principal paydowns during the periods. The mortgage-backed securities proceeds during both periods were primarily used to fund loan originations and purchases of floating rate corporate bonds in the investment portfolio.

Interest income on bank certificates of deposit decreased $24 thousand or 60.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2018 when compared to the same period in 2017. The decrease for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 was primarily attributable to a decrease in the average portfolio balance of certificates of deposit of $7.3 million, which was partially offset by an increase in the weighted average yield of 53 basis points. For the nine months ended March 31, 2018, interest income on certificates of deposits decreased by $12 thousand or 14.6% primarily as a result of a $2.6 million decrease in the average balance for the nine months ended March 31, 2018, compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2017. Partially offsetting the decrease in the average balance for the nine months ended March 31, 2018 was an increase of 44 basis points in the weighted average yield. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018, the Company redeployed maturing large dollar floating rate certificates of deposit to fund loan originations and purchases of floating rate corporate bonds in the investment portfolio.

Interest income on interest-earning demand deposits increased $3 thousand to $3 thousand and $5 thousand to $7 thousand for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018 when compared to the same periods in 2017. The increase for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was primarily attributable to a $233 thousand increase in average balances and a 90 basis point increase in yields earned when compared to the same period in 2017. The increase for the nine months ended March 31, 2018 was primarily attributable to a $285 thousand increase in average balances and a 69 basis point increase in yields earned when compared to the same period in 2017.

Interest Expense. Interest paid on FHLB fixed-rate and variable-rate long term advances decreased by $120 thousand or 100.0% and $323 thousand or 88.3%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018, when compared to the same periods in 2017, due to the payoff of these obligations during the quarter ended September 30, 2017. The decrease in interest expense on these long-term FHLB advances for the nine months ended March 31, 2018 was primarily attributable to a $14.0 million decrease in the average balance of FHLB long-term advances outstanding when compared to the same periods in 2017. The Company reduced this funding source in both periods by increasing FHLB short-term advances.

Interest paid on FHLB short-term advances increased $422 thousand or 143.5% and $1.1 million or 158.0% for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2017. The increase for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was primarily attributable to a $30.1 million increase in the average balance of FHLB short-term advances outstanding and an 83 basis point increase in the weighted average rate paid on FHLB short-term advances, when compared to the same period in 2017. The increase for the nine months ended March 31, 2018, was primarily attributable to a $25.0 million increase in the average balance of short-term FHLB advances, and a 79 basis point increase in the weighted average rate paid on FHLB short-term advances, when compared to the same period in 2017. The increases in the average balance of FHLB short-term advances for both periods was primarily attributable to payoffs of FHLB long-term advances and to fund increases in the Company’s investment portfolio.

Interest expense on deposits increased $28 thousand or 37.8% and increased $85 thousand or 46.5% for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2017. The increase in interest expense on deposits for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was primarily attributable to a 41 basis point increase in the weighted average yield paid on time deposits, which was partially offset by $5.5 million decrease in the average balance of time deposits, when compared to the same period in 2017. The increase in interest expense on deposits for the nine months ended March 31, 2018 was primarily attributable to a 32 basis point increase in the weighted average yield paid on time deposits and a $1.3 million increase in the average balance of time deposits outstanding, when compared to the same period in 2017. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018, the Company periodically utilized short term brokered certificates of deposit as a funding source.

Provision for Loan Losses. A provision for loan losses is charged to earnings (while credit provision for loan losses are accretive to earnings) to maintain the total allowance at a level considered adequate by management to absorb potential losses in the portfolio. Management’s determination of the adequacy of the allowance is based on an evaluation of the portfolio considering past experience, current economic conditions, volume, growth and composition of the loan portfolio, and other relevant factors.

Provisions for loan losses decreased $5 thousand and $28 thousand for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2017. The decrease in the provisions for loan losses for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018 was primarily attributable to lower originations of single-family loans which more than offset an increase in the Company’s ALLL reserve factor for the single family-permanent loan segment when compared to the same periods in 2017. At March 31, 2018, the Company’s total allowance for loan losses amounted to $440 thousand or 0.55% of the Company’s net loan portfolio, as compared to $418 thousand or 0.54% at June 30, 2017. At March 31, 2018, the Company’s non-performing loans totaled $240 thousand as compared to $246 thousand at June 30, 2017.

Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income decreased by $10 thousand or 7.7%, and $7 thousand or 1.9% for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018, respectively, when compared to the same period in 2017. The decrease in non-interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was primarily attributable to the absence of a $9 thousand market gain on trading assets which was incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2017. The decrease in non-interest income for the nine months ended March 31, 2018 was primarily attributable to lower income from service charges on deposits and bank owned life insurance totaling $12 thousand and an $8 thousand increase in OTTI charges on the Company’s Private Label MBS portfolio which were partially offset by a $31 thousand decrease in market losses on trading assets when compared to the same period in 2017.

Non-Interest Expense. Non-interest expense increased $11 thousand or 1.2% and decreased $7 thousand or 0.3% for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2017. The increase for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was principally attributable to a $14 thousand increase in debit card fraud losses and a $5 thousand increase in federal deposit insurance premiums which were partially offset by a $9 thousand decrease in employee related expenses, when compared to the same period in 2017. The decrease for the nine months ended March 31, 2018 was primarily attributable to decreases in occupancy related costs, ATM network expenses and data processing costs totaling $17 thousand, $21 thousand and $5 thousand, respectively, which were partially offset by increases in debit card fraud losses of $26 thousand during the nine months ended March 31, 2018, when compared to the same period in 2017.

Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense decreased $30 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2018, when compared to the same period of 2017 and reflects the reduced federal corporate tax rate associated with provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 which became effective January 1, 2018 which was partially offset by higher levels of taxable income. The $239 thousand increase in income tax expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2018 when compared to the same period of 2017 was primarily the result of an additional $133 thousand federal income tax expense due to the write-down of the Company’s net deferred tax assets associated with the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 as well as higher levels of taxable income.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $3.8 million during the nine months ended March 31, 2018. Net cash provided by operating activities was primarily comprised of net income of $1.5 million, $1.2 million from collections of cash items due from other banks, $481 thousand of amortization of discounts, premiums and deferred loan costs, and a $228 thousand increase in accrued income taxes.

Funds provided by investing activities totaled $2.0 million during the nine months ended March 31, 2018. Primary uses of funds during the nine months ended March 31, 2018 included purchases of investment securities available for sale totaling $47.4 million, purchases of certificates of deposit totaling $348 thousand and an increase in net loans receivable totaling $2.7 million. Primary sources of funds during the nine months ended March 31, 2018 included proceeds from repayments of investment securities and mortgage-backed securities in the held-to-maturity portfolio totaling $2.5 million and $9.6 million, respectively, proceeds from repayments of investment securities in the available-for-sale portfolio totaling $25.3 million, and maturities of certificates of deposit totaling $10.1 million.

Funds provided by financing activities totaled $2.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2018. The primary source was a $24.0 million increase in FHLB short-term advances which was partially offset by the payoffs of the FHLB long-term advances totaling $16.1 million and a $2.8 million decrease in transaction and savings accounts, a $1.6 million decrease in certificates of deposit, a $294 thousand decrease in loan customer escrow balances and $427 thousand in cash dividends. Management believes that a significant portion of our local maturing deposits will remain with the Company. Management has determined that it currently is maintaining adequate liquidity and continues to match funding sources with lending and investment opportunities.

The Company’s primary sources of funds are deposits, amortization, repayments and maturities of existing loans, mortgage-backed securities and investment securities, funds from operations, and funds obtained through FHLB advances and other borrowings. Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in one year or less at March 31, 2018 totaled $25.0 million.

Historically, the Company used its sources of funds primarily to meet its ongoing commitments to pay maturing savings certificates and savings withdrawals, fund loan commitments and maintain a substantial portfolio of investment securities. At March 31, 2018, total approved loan commitments outstanding were $3.0 million. At the same date, commitments under unused lines of credit amounted to $5.7 million and the unadvanced portion of construction loans approximated $1.3 million. The Company has been able to generate sufficient cash through the retail deposit market, its traditional funding source, and through FHLB advances, and other borrowings, to provide the cash utilized in investing activities. The Company’s available for sale segment of the investment portfolio totaled $128.8 million at March 31, 2018. Additionally, total cash and cash equivalents totaled $6.9 million at March 31, 2018. Management believes that the Company currently has adequate liquidity available to respond to liquidity demands.

On April 23, 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.08 per share and a special cash dividend of $0.04 per share, both payable on May 17, 2018, to shareholders of record at the close of business on May 7, 2018. Dividends are subject to determination and declaration by the Board of Directors, which take into account the Company’s financial condition, statutory and regulatory restrictions, general economic conditions and other factors. There can be no assurance that dividends will in fact be paid on the Common Stock in future periods or that, if paid, such dividends will not be reduced or eliminated.

As of March 31, 2018, WVS Financial Corp. exceeded all regulatory capital requirements and maintained Common Equity Tier I Capital, Tier I, and total risk-based capital equal to $34.4 million or 18.67%, $34.4 million or 18.67%, and $34.9 million or 18.93%, respectively, of total risk-weighted assets, and Tier I leverage capital of $34.4 million or 9.76% of average quarterly assets.

Nonperforming assets consist of nonaccrual loans and real estate owned. A loan is placed on nonaccrual status when, in the judgment of management, the probability of collection of interest is deemed insufficient to warrant further accrual. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, previously accrued but uncollected interest is deducted from interest income. The Company normally does not accrue interest on loans past due 90 days or more, however, interest may be accrued if management believes that it will collect on the loan.

The Company’s nonperforming assets at March 31, 2018 totaled $240 thousand or 0.07% of total assets as compared to $246 thousand or 0.07% of total assets at June 30, 2017. Nonperforming assets at March 31, 2018 consisted of one single-family real estate loan totaling $240 thousand. The loan is currently under a bankruptcy order and making payments as agreed.

The $6 thousand decrease in nonperforming assets during the nine months ended March 31, 2018 was primarily attributable to principal repayments on one non-accrual single-family real estate loan totaling $6 thousand.

During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018, the Company collected $7 thousand and $17 thousand, respectively, of interest income on non-accrual loans. Approximately $4 thousand and $13 thousand, respectively, of interest income would have been recorded during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018, on non-accrual loans if such loans had been current according to the original loan agreements for the entire periods. The Company continues to work with the borrowers in an attempt to cure the defaults and is also pursuing various legal avenues in order to collect on these loans.

ITEM 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

ASSET AND LIABILITY MANAGEMENT

The Company’s primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk and, to a lesser extent, liquidity risk. All of the Company’s transactions are denominated in US dollars with no specific foreign exchange exposure. The Savings Bank has no agricultural loan assets and therefore would not have a specific exposure to changes in commodity prices. Any impacts that changes in foreign exchange rates and commodity prices would have on interest rates are assumed to be exogenous and will be analyzed on an ex post basis.

Interest rate risk (“IRR”) is the exposure of a banking organization’s financial condition to adverse movements in interest rates. Accepting this risk can be an important source of profitability and shareholder value, however excessive levels of IRR can pose a significant threat to the Company’s earnings and capital base. Accordingly, effective risk management that maintains IRR at prudent levels is essential to the Company’s safety and soundness.

Evaluating a financial institution’s exposure to changes in interest rates includes assessing both the adequacy of the management process used to control IRR and the organization’s quantitative level of exposure. When assessing the IRR management process, the Company seeks to ensure that appropriate policies, procedures, management information systems and internal controls are in place to maintain IRR at prudent levels with consistency and continuity. Evaluating the quantitative level of IRR exposure requires the Company to assess the existing and potential future effects of changes in interest rates on its consolidated financial condition, including capital adequacy, earnings, liquidity, and, where appropriate, asset quality.

Financial institutions derive their income primarily from the excess of interest collected over interest paid. The rates of interest an institution earns on its assets and owes on its liabilities generally are established contractually for a period of time. Since market interest rates change over time, an institution is exposed to lower profit margins (or losses) if it cannot adapt to interest-rate changes. For example, assume that an institution’s assets carry intermediate- or long-term fixed rates and that those assets were funded with short-term liabilities. If market interest rates rise by the time the short-term liabilities must be refinanced, the increase in the institution’s interest expense on its liabilities may not be sufficiently offset if assets continue to earn at the long-term fixed rates. Accordingly, an institution’s profits could decrease on existing assets because the institution will either have lower net interest income or, possibly, net interest expense. Similar risks exist when assets are subject to contractual interest-rate ceilings, or rate sensitive assets are funded by longer-term, fixed-rate liabilities in a decreasing-rate environment.

During the fiscal years 2013-2017 and into fiscal year 2018, intermediate and long-term market interest rates fluctuated considerably. Many central banks, including the Federal Reserve, continued above normal levels of monetary accommodation including quantitative easing and targeted asset purchase programs. The desired outcomes of these programs are to stimulate aggregate demand, reduce high levels of unemployment and to further lower market interest rates.

The effect of interest rate changes on a financial institution’s assets and liabilities may be analyzed by examining the “interest rate sensitivity” of the assets and liabilities and by monitoring an institution’s interest rate sensitivity “gap”. An asset or liability is said to be interest rate sensitive within a specific time period if it will mature or reprice within a given time period. A gap is considered positive (negative) when the amount of rate sensitive assets (liabilities) exceeds the amount of rate sensitive liabilities (assets). During a period of falling interest rates, a negative gap would tend to result in an increase in net interest income. During a period of rising interest rates, a positive gap would tend to result in an increase in net interest income.

As part of its asset/liability management strategy, the Company maintained an asset sensitive financial position due to unusually low market interest rates. An asset sensitive financial position may benefit earnings during a period of rising interest rates and reduce earnings during a period of declining interest rates.

The following table sets forth certain information at the dates indicated relating to the Company’s interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities which are estimated to mature or are scheduled to reprice within one year.

	(Dollars in Thousands)
Interest-earning assets maturing or repricing within one year		$279,002			$257,808			$260,710
Interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within one year		232,941			228,616			235,345

The following table illustrates the Company’s estimated stressed cumulative repricing gap – the difference between the amount of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities expected to reprice at a given point in time – at March 31, 2018. The table estimates the impact of an upward or downward change in market interest rates of 100 and 200 basis points.

The Company utilizes an income simulation model to measure interest rate risk and to manage interest rate sensitivity. The Company believes that income simulation modeling may enable the Company to better estimate the possible effects on net interest income due to changing market interest rates. Other key model parameters include: estimated prepayment rates on the Company’s loan, mortgage-backed securities and investment portfolios; savings decay rate assumptions; and the repayment terms and embedded options of the Company’s borrowings.

The following table presents the simulated impact of a 100 and 200 basis point upward or downward (parallel) shift in market interest rates on net interest income, return on average equity, return on average assets and the market value of portfolio equity at March 31, 2018. This analysis was done assuming that the interest-earning assets will average approximately $346 million and $348 million over a projected twelve and twenty-four month period, respectively, for the estimated impact on change in net interest income, return on average equity and return on average assets. The estimated changes in market value of equity were calculated using balance sheet levels at March 31, 2018. Actual future results could differ materially from our estimates primarily due to unknown future interest rate changes and the level of prepayments on our investment and loan portfolios and future FDIC regular and special assessments.

The table below provides information about the Company’s anticipated transactions comprised of firm loan commitments and other commitments, including undisbursed lines of credit, at March 31, 2018. The Company used no derivative financial instruments to hedge such anticipated transactions as of March 31, 2018.


Anticipated Transactions

	(Dollars in Thousands)
Undisbursed construction and land development loans	$	1,328
Undisbursed lines of credit	$	5,730
Loan origination commitments	$	2,982

	$	10,040

In the ordinary course of its construction lending business, the Savings Bank may enter into performance standby letters of credit. Typically, the standby letters of credit are issued on behalf of a builder to a third party to ensure the timely completion of a certain aspect of a construction project or land development. At March 31, 2018, the Savings Bank had no performance standby letters of credit outstanding. In the event that an obligor is unable to perform its obligations as specified in the applicable letter of credit agreement, the Savings Bank would be obligated to disburse funds up to the amount specified in the letter of credit agreement. The Savings Bank maintains adequate collateral that could be liquidated to fund these contingent obligations.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of March 31, 2018, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer, on the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based on that evaluation, the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer, concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2018.

Disclosure controls and procedures are the controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in its reports filed and submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in its reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the principal executive officer and principal accounting officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2018, no change in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) has occurred that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.
