These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Guaranty Federal Bancshares, Inc.’s (the “Company”) 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The results of operations for the periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The condensed consolidated statement of financial condition of the Company as of December 31, 2012, has been derived from the audited consolidated statement of financial condition of the Company as of that date. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted.

The book value of securities pledged as collateral, to secure public deposits and for other purposes, amounted to $48,874,594 and $56,022,882 as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The approximate fair value of pledged securities amounted to $47,753,328 and $57,384,685 as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

 

Realized gains and losses are recorded as net securities gains. Gains on sales of securities are determined on the specific identification method. Gross gains of $204,983 and $107,105 as of June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012, respectively, were realized from the sale of available-for-sale securities. The tax effect of these net gains was $75,844 and $39,629 as of June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012, respectively.

 

The Company evaluates all securities quarterly to determine if any unrealized losses are deemed to be other than temporary. Certain investment securities are valued at less than their historical cost. These declines are primarily the result of the rate for these investments yielding less than current market rates, or declines in stock prices of equity securities. Based on evaluation of available evidence, management believes the declines in fair value for these securities are temporary. It is management’s intent to hold the debt securities to maturity or until recovery of the unrealized loss. Should the impairment of any of these debt securities become other than temporary, the cost basis of the investment will be reduced and the resulting loss recognized in net income in the period the other-than-temporary impairment is identified, to the extent the loss is related to credit issues, and to other comprehensive income to the extent the decline on debt securities is related to other factors and the Company does not intend to sell the security prior to recovery of the unrealized loss.

     

          Certain other investments in debt and equity securities are reported in the financial statements at an amount less than their historical cost. Total fair value of these investments at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, was $90,687,341 and $30,121,495, respectively, which is approximately 83% and 29% of the Company’s investment portfolio. These declines primarily resulted from changes in market interest rates and failure of certain investments to meet projected earnings targets.

The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to income. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

 

The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon management’s periodic review of the collectibility of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

The allowance consists of allocated and general components. The allocated component relates to loans that are classified as impaired. For those loans that are classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers nonclassified loans and is based on historical charge-off experience and expected loss given default derived from the Bank’s internal risk rating process. Other adjustments may be made to the allowance for pools of loans after an assessment of internal or external influences on credit quality that are not fully reflected in the historical loss or risk rating data.

 

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.

 

Groups of loans with similar risk characteristics are collectively evaluated for impairment based on the group’s historical loss experience adjusted for changes in trends, conditions and other relevant factors that affect repayment of the loans.

At June 30, 2013, the Bank’s impaired loans shown in the table above included loans that were classified as troubled debt restructurings (TDR). The restructuring of a loan is considered a TDR if both (i) the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties and (ii) the creditor has granted a concession.

 

In assessing whether or not a borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, the Bank considers information currently available regarding the financial condition of the borrower. This information includes, but is not limited to, whether (i) the debtor is currently in payment default on any of its debt; (ii) a payment default is probable in the foreseeable future without the modification; (iii) the debtor has declared or is in the process of declaring bankruptcy and (iv) the debtor’s projected cash flow is sufficient to satisfy the contractual payments due under the original terms of the loan without a modification.

  

 
18

 

 

The Bank considers all aspects of the modification to loan terms to determine whether or not a concession has been granted to the borrower. Key factors considered by the Bank include the debtor’s ability to access funds at a market rate for debt with similar risk characteristics, the significance of the modification relative to unpaid principal balance or collateral value of the debt, and the significance of a delay in the timing of payments relative to the original contractual terms of the loan. The most common concessions granted by the Bank generally include one or more modifications to the terms of the debt, such as (i) a reduction in the interest rate for the remaining life of the debt, (ii) an extension of the maturity date at an interest rate lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk, (iii) a reduction on the face amount or maturity amount of the debt as stated in the original loan, (iv) a temporary period of interest-only payments, (v) a reduction in accrued interest, and (vi) an extension of amortization.

During the three months ended June 30, 2012, there were two new one-to-four family residential mortgage loans modified that met the definition of a troubled debt restructuring that totaled $390,898. The concession granted on these two loans was temporary interest-only payments.

The Bank has allocated $267,818 and $169,538 of specific reserves to customers whose loan terms have been modified in TDR as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

 

There were two one to four family TDRs totaling $330,000 for which there was a payment default within twelve months following the modification during the six months ending June 30, 2013. A loan is considered to be in payment default once it is 90 days contractually past due under the modified terms.

 

As part of the on-going monitoring of the credit quality of the Bank’s loan portfolio, management tracks loans by an internal rating system. All loans are assigned an internal credit quality rating based on an analysis of the borrower’s financial condition. The criteria used to assign quality ratings to extensions of credit that exhibit potential problems or well-defined weaknesses are primarily based upon the degree of risk and the likelihood of orderly repayment, and their effect on the Bank’s safety and soundness. The following are the internally assigned ratings:

 

Pass-This rating represents loans that have strong asset quality and liquidity along with a multi-year track record of profitability.

 

Special mention-This rating represents loans that are currently protected but are potentially weak. The credit risk may be relatively minor, yet constitute an increased risk in light of the circumstances surrounding a specific loan.

 

Substandard-This rating represents loans that show signs of continuing negative financial trends and unprofitability and therefore, is inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any.

 

Doubtful-This rating represents loans that have all the weaknesses of substandard classified loans with the additional characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable.

 

Risk characteristics applicable to each segment of the loan portfolio are described as follows.

 

Real estate-Residential 1-4 family: The residential 1-4 family real estate loans are generally secured by owner-occupied 1-4 family residences. Repayment of these loans is primarily dependent on the personal income and credit rating of the borrowers. Credit risk in these loans can be impacted by economic conditions within the Bank’s market areas that might impact either property values or a borrower’s personal income. Risk is mitigated by the fact that the loans are of smaller individual amounts and spread over a large number of borrowers.

  

 
20

 

 

Real estate-Construction: Construction and land development real estate loans are usually based upon estimates of costs and estimated value of the completed project and include independent appraisal reviews and a financial analysis of the developers and property owners. Sources of repayment of these loans may include permanent loans, sales of developed property or an interim loan commitment from the Bank until permanent financing is obtained. These loans are considered to be higher risk than other real estate loans due to their ultimate repayment being sensitive to interest rate changes, general economic conditions and the availability of long-term financing. Credit risk in these loans may be impacted by the creditworthiness of a borrower, property values and the local economies in the Bank’s market areas.

 

Real estate-Commercial: Commercial real estate loans typically involve larger principal amounts, and repayment of these loans is generally dependent on the successful operations of the property securing the loan or the business conducted on the property securing the loan. These loans are viewed primarily as cash flow loans and secondarily as loans secured by real estate. Credit risk in these loans may be impacted by the creditworthiness of a borrower, property values and the local economies in the Bank’s market areas.

 

Commercial: The commercial portfolio includes loans to commercial customers for use in financing working capital needs, equipment purchases and expansions. The loans in this category are repaid primarily from the cash flow of a borrower’s principal business operation. Credit risk in these loans is driven by creditworthiness of a borrower and the economic conditions that impact the cash flow stability from business operations.

 

Consumer: The consumer loan portfolio consists of various term and line of credit loans such as automobile loans and loans for other personal purposes. Repayment for these types of loans will come from a borrower’s income sources that are typically independent of the loan purpose. Credit risk is driven by consumer economic factors (such as unemployment and general economic conditions in the Bank’s market area) and the creditworthiness of a borrower.

Note 7: New Accounting Pronouncements

 

In January 2013, FASB issued ASU No. 2013-01, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. The update clarifies the scope of transactions that are subject to the disclosures about offsetting. The update clarifies that ordinary trade receivables and receivables are not in the scope of Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. Specifically, update 2011-11 applies only to derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse purchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions that are either offset in accordance with specific criteria contained in FASB Accounting Standards Codification or subject to a master netting arrangement or similar agreement. The update was effective for the Company January 1, 2013, and did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, to improve the transparency of reporting reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The amendments in the update do not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in financial statements. All of the information that this update requires already is required to be disclosed elsewhere in the financial statements under U.S. GAAP. The new amendments will require an organization to present (either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes) the effects on the line items of net income of significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income–but only if the item reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. Or, the organization may cross-reference to other disclosures currently required under U.S. GAAP for other reclassification items (that are not required under U.S. GAAP) to be reclassified directly to net income in their entirety in the same reporting period. The update was effective for the Company January 1, 2013, and did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

Note 8: Disclosures about Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities

 

ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements, defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Topic 820 also specifies a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1:      Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

 

Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities

 

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities

 

The following is a description of the inputs and valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and recognized in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of financial condition, as well as the general classification of such assets pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.

  

 
23

 

 

Available-for-sale securities: Where quoted market prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Level 1 securities include equity securities. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics or discounted cash flows. For these investments, the inputs used by the pricing service to determine fair value may include one or a combination of observable inputs such as benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bid offers and reference data market research publications and are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. Level 2 securities include U.S. government agencies and government sponsored mortgage-backed securities. The Company has no Level 3 securities.

 

The following table presents the fair value measurements of assets recognized in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of financial condition measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements fall at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 (dollar amounts in thousands):

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and recognized in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of financial condition, as well as the general classification of such assets pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.

 

Foreclosed Assets Held for Sale:   Fair value is estimated using recent appraisals, comparable sales and other estimates of value obtained principally from independent sources, adjusted for selling costs. Foreclosed assets held for sale are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.

 

Impaired loans (Collateral Dependent):   Loans for which it is probable that the Company will not collect all principal and interest due according to contractual terms are measured for impairment. Allowable methods for determining the amount of impairment include estimating fair value using the fair value of the collateral for collateral dependent loans.

 

 
24

 

 

If the impaired loan is identified as collateral dependent, then the fair value method of measuring the amount of impairment is utilized. This method requires the Company to obtain a current independent appraisal or observable market price of the collateral as the starting point for determining fair value and then considers other factors and events in the environment that may affect the fair value. Impaired loans that are collateral dependent are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy when impairment is determined using the fair value method.

 

The following table presents the fair value measurement of assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements fall at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 (dollar amounts in thousands):

There were no transfers between valuation levels for any asset during the six months ended June 30, 2013 or 2012. If valuation techniques are deemed necessary, the Company considers those transfers to occur at the end of the period when the assets are valued.

The following methods were used to estimate the fair value of all other financial instruments recognized in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of financial condition at amounts other than fair value.

 

Cash and cash equivalents, interest-bearing deposits and Federal Home Loan Bank stock

The carrying amounts reported in the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition approximate those assets' fair value.

 

 
25

 

 

Held-to-maturity securities

Fair value is based on quoted market prices, if available. If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities.

 

Loans

The fair value of loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the market rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities. Loans with similar characteristics were aggregated for purposes of the calculations. The carrying amount of accrued interest approximates its fair value.

 

Deposits

Deposits include demand deposits, savings accounts, NOW accounts and certain money market deposits. The carrying amount approximates fair value. The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

 

Federal Home Loan Bank advances and securities sold under agreements to repurchase

The fair value of advances and securities sold under agreements to repurchase is estimated by using rates on debt with similar terms and remaining maturities.

 

Subordinated debentures

For these variable rate instruments, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value. There is currently a limited market for similar debt instruments and the Company has the option to call the subordinated debentures at an amount close to its par value.

 

Interest payable

The carrying amount approximates fair value.

 

Commitments to originate loans, letters of credit and lines of credit

The fair value of commitments to originate loans is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present credit worthiness of the counterparties. For fixed-rate loan commitments, fair value also considers the difference between current levels of interest rates and the committed rates. The fair value of letters of credit and lines of credit are based on fees currently charged for similar agreements or on the estimated cost to terminate them or otherwise settle the obligations with the counterparties at the reporting date.

Note 9: Preferred Stock and Common Stock Warrants

 

On January 30, 2009, as part of the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Troubled Asset Relief Program's Capital Purchase Program (“CPP”), the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement - Standard Terms with the United States Department of the Treasury (the "Treasury") pursuant to which the Company sold to the Treasury 17,000 shares of Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A (the "Series A Preferred Stock") and issued a ten year warrant (the "Warrant") to purchase 459,459 shares of the Company's common stock (the "Common Stock") for $5.55 per share (the "Warrant Shares") for a total purchase price of $17.0 million (the "Transaction").

 

The Series A Preferred Stock qualifies as Tier 1 capital and is entitled to cumulative preferred dividends at a rate of 5% per year for the first five years, payable quarterly, and 9% thereafter. The Series A Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends. The failure by the Company to pay a total of six quarterly dividends, whether or not consecutive, gives the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock the right to elect two directors to the Company's board of directors.

 

On June 13, 2012, with regulatory approval, the Company redeemed $5 million of the Series A Preferred Stock, including accrued and unpaid dividends of $19,444. The Company may redeem additional shares of the Series A Preferred Stock for $1,000 per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends, in whole or in part, subject to regulatory approval.

 

The Company entered into a Placement Agency Agreement with the Treasury on April 15, 2013 in connection with a private auction by the Treasury of the remaining 12,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock conducted immediately thereafter. On April 29, 2013, the Treasury settled the sale of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock to the winning bidders in the private auction, consisting of six parties unrelated to the Company.

 

On May 8, 2013, the Company notified the Treasury of its intent to repurchase the Warrant at its fair market value. The Board of Directors of the Company had previously determined that it would be in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders to repurchase the Warrant and had also determined the Warrant’s fair market value to be $2,003,250 (the “Fair Market Value”). On May 10, 2013, the Treasury notified the Company that it had accepted the Company’s offer to repurchase the Warrant at its Fair Market Value. Accordingly, on May 15, 2013, the Company entered into a Letter Agreement with Treasury pursuant to which the Company repurchased the Warrant for $2,003,250 in cash. As a result of the aforementioned, the Warrant is no longer issued or outstanding and the Company’s participation in the CPP is completed. In addition, though the Series A Preferred Stock remains outstanding, as a result of the Treasury’s sale of the Series A Preferred stock to third-party investors on April 29, 2013, the Treasury no longer possesses any securities issued by the Company. Any repurchase or redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock by the Company would require regulatory approval.

 

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

 

General

 

The primary function of the Company is to monitor and oversee its investment in the Bank. The Company engages in few other activities, and the Company has no significant assets other than its investment in the Bank. As a result, the results of operations of the Company are derived primarily from operations of the Bank. The Bank’s results of operations are primarily dependent on net interest margin, which is the difference between interest income on interest-earning assets and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities. The Bank’s income is also affected by the level of its noninterest expenses, such as employee salaries and benefits, occupancy expenses and other expenses. The following discussion reviews material changes in the Company’s financial condition as of June 30, 2013, and the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.

 

The discussion set forth below, as well as other portions of this Form 10-Q, may contain forward-looking comments. Such comments are based upon the information currently available to management of the Company and management’s perception thereof as of the date of this Form 10-Q. When used in this Form 10-Q, words such as “anticipates,” “estimates,” “believes,” “expects,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements but are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements. Such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties. Actual results of the Company’s operations could materially differ from those forward-looking comments. The differences could be caused by a number of factors or combination of factors including, but not limited to: changes in demand for banking services; changes in portfolio composition; changes in management strategy; increased competition from both bank and non-bank companies; changes in the general level of interest rates; changes in general or local economic conditions; changes in federal or state regulations and legislation governing the operations of the Company or the Bank; and other factors set forth in reports and other documents filed by the Company with the SEC from time to time, including the risk factors described under Item 1A. of this Form 10-Q and Item 1.A of the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.

Financial Condition

 

The Company’s total assets decreased $20,235,504 (3%) from $660,432,218 as of December 31, 2012, to $640,196,714 as of June 30, 2013.

 

Interest bearing deposits in other financial institutions decreased $17,713,082 (46%) from $38,303,303 as of December 31, 2012, to $20,590,221 as of June 30, 2013. The decrease is primarily due to the Company’s ability to utilize available cash to paydown $30.1 million of Federal Home Loan Bank advances and securities sold under agreements to repurchase.

 

Available-for-sale securities increased $7,279,549 (7%) from $101,980,644 as of December 31, 2012, to $109,260,193 as of June 30, 2013. The increase is primarily due to purchases of $44.3 million offset by sales, maturities and principal payments received of $32.7 million. Also, during the second quarter of 2013, market interest rates on many debt securities increased, due to the dramatic increase in long-term Treasury rates, which in turn, caused the fair value of available-for-sale securities to decline by $4.3 million.

 

Net loans receivable decreased by $5,885,105 (1%) from $465,531,973 as of December 31, 2012, to $459,646,868 as of June 30, 2013. The Company experienced certain anticipated payoffs of various commercial real estate loans. During the period, commercial real estate loans decreased $4,052,178 (2%). Also, commercial loans increased $807,361 (1%), permanent multi-family loans increased $1,056,600 (2%), construction loans decreased $2,637,753 (5%), loans secured by owner occupied one to four unit residential real estate decreased $1,776,536 (2%) and installment loans increased $360,795 (2%). The Company continues to focus its lending efforts in the commercial and owner occupied real estate loan categories, and to reduce its concentrations in non-owner occupied commercial real estate.

 

Allowance for loan losses decreased $363,041 (4%) from $8,740,325 as of December 31, 2012 to $8,377,284 as of June 30, 2013. The allowance decreased due to net loan charge-offs of $1,013,041 exceeding provision for loan losses of $650,000 recorded during the period. Management charged off certain specific loans that had been identified and classified as impaired at December 31, 2012. See discussion under “Results of Operations – Comparison of Three and Six Month Periods Ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 – Provision for Loan Losses.” The allowance for loan losses, as a percentage of gross loans outstanding (excluding mortgage loans held for sale), as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was 1.79% and 1.84%, respectively. The allowance for loan losses, as a percentage of nonperforming loans outstanding, as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was 52.8% and 57.0%, respectively. Management believes the allowance for loan losses is at a level to be sufficient in providing for potential loan losses in the Bank’s existing loan portfolio.

 

Deposits increased $11,874,743 (2%) from $500,014,715 as of December 31, 2012, to $511,889,458 as of June 30, 2013. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, checking and savings accounts increased by $14.0 million and certificates of deposit decreased by $2.1 million. The increase in checking and savings accounts was due to the Bank’s continued efforts to increase core transaction deposits, both retail and commercial. See also the discussion under “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk – Asset/Liability Management."

 

Federal Home Loan Bank advances decreased $15,100,000 (22%) from $68,050,000 as of December 31, 2012, to $52,950,000 as of June 30, 2013 due to scheduled maturities during the period.

 

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase decreased $15,000,000 (60%) from $25,000,000 as of December 31, 2012, to $10,000,000 as of June 30, 2013 due to a prepayment of $15 million incurring a prepayment penalty of $1.5 million. The prepayment will allow the Company to significantly reduce higher cost, non-core funding liabilities on its balance sheet and eliminate future annual interest expense of approximately $390,000.

Stockholders’ equity (including unrealized depreciation on available-for-sale securities, net of tax) decreased $2,407,119 from $50,868,570 as of December 31, 2012, to $48,461,451 as of June 30, 2013. This is due to a few factors. First, the Company’s $2.1 million in net income after preferred stock dividends and accretion for the six month period increased stockholder’s equity. However, other factors reduced stockholders’ equity. In May 2013, the Company completed a $2 million repurchase of the warrant issued to the United States Department of the Treasury in 2009 as part of its Troubled Asset Relief Program’s Capital Purchase Program. Also, as a result of increases in market interest rates on many debt securities during the quarter, the Company’s unrealized gains (losses) on available-for-sale securities, net of income taxes, declined $2.7 million at June 30, 2013 as compared to December 31, 2012. On a per common share basis, stockholders’ equity decreased from $14.34 as of December 31, 2012 to $13.39 as of June 30, 2013. 

 

Average Balances, Interest and Average Yields

 

The Company’s profitability is primarily dependent upon net interest income, which represents the difference between interest and fees earned on loans and debt and equity securities, and the cost of deposits and borrowings. Net interest income is dependent on the difference between the average balances and rates earned on interest-earning assets and the average balances and rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Non-interest income, non-interest expense, and income taxes also impact net income.

 

The following table sets forth certain information relating to the Company’s average consolidated statements of financial condition and reflects the average yield on assets and average cost of liabilities for the periods indicated. Such yields and costs are derived by dividing income or expense annualized by the average balance of assets or liabilities, respectively, for the periods shown. Average balances were derived from average daily balances. The average balance of loans includes loans on which the Company has discontinued accruing interest. The yields and costs include fees which are considered adjustments to yields. All dollar amounts are in thousands.

Results of Operations - Comparison of Three and Six Month Periods Ended June 30, 2013 and 2012

 

Net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 was $1,567,740 and $2,520,393, respectively, compared to $344,121 and $1,178,843 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively, which represents an increase in net income of $1,223,619 (356%) for the three month period, and an increase in net income of $1,341,550 (114%) for the six month period.

 

Interest Income

 

Total interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 decreased $379,339 (6%) and $825,840 (6%), respectively, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2012. For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same periods in 2012, the average yield on interest earning assets decreased 24 basis points to 4.28% and 32 basis points to 4.28%, while the average balance of interest earning assets decreased $1,151,000 for the three month period and increased $5,950,000 for the six month period. The Company’s decrease in the average yield on interest earning assets was primarily due to the decline in loan balances for each period compared to the prior year period. Also, strong competition is causing a reduction in rates for new credits as well as maintaining existing credit relationships.

Interest Expense

 

Total interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 decreased $450,897 (26%) and $872,893 (24%), respectively, when compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2012. For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same periods in 2012, the average cost of interest bearing liabilities decreased 30 basis points to 0.94% and 32 basis points to .99%, respectively, while the average balance of interest bearing liabilities decreased $32,893,000 for the three month period and increased $7,696,000 for the six month period when compared to the same periods in 2012. The primary reason for the significant decrease in the average cost of interest bearing liabilities was the continued decline in higher cost certificates of deposits as well as reductions in the average rate paid on transaction deposit balances. Also, the Company has reduced its FHLB advances and securities sold under agreements to repurchase during 2013.

 

Net Interest Income

 

Net interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 increased $71,558 (1%) and $47,053 (0%), respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2012. For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013, the average balance of net interest earning assets increased by approximately $10,697,000 and $6,864,000, respectively, less than the average balance in interest bearing liabilities decreased when compared to the same periods in 2012. For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013, the net interest margin increased 5 basis points to 3.35% and decreased 46 basis points to 3.38%, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2012.

 

Provision for Loan Losses

 

Based on its internal analysis and methodology, management recorded a provision for loan losses of $250,000 and $650,000 for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, compared to $2,100,000 and $3,000,000 for the same periods in 2012. The Bank will continue to monitor its allowance for loan losses and make future additions based on economic and regulatory conditions. Management of the Company anticipates the need to continue increasing the allowance for loan losses through charges to the provision for loan losses if anticipated growth in the Bank’s loan portfolio increases or other circumstances warrant. Although the Bank maintains its allowance for loan losses at a level which it considers to be sufficient to provide for potential loan losses in its existing loan portfolio, there can be no assurance that future loan losses will not exceed internal estimates. In addition, the amount of the allowance for loan losses is subject to review by regulatory agencies which can order the establishment of additional loan loss provisions.

 

Noninterest Income

 

Noninterest income increased $1,643,996 (158%) and $1,816,752 (96%) for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, when compared to the three months and six months ended June 30, 2012. This was primarily due to recognizing gains on its investment portfolio and certain tax credit assets during the periods. In May 2013, the Company sold low-income housing tax credits for a gain of $1.4 million. Gains on investment securities increased $46,606 (67%) and $97,878 (91%) for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2012. Also, gains on sales of loans increased $117,031 (25%) and $186,610 (22%) for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2012, due to increased volume in loan originations and sales.

 

Noninterest Expense

 

Noninterest expense increased $1,629,485 (42%) and $2,007,577 (25%) for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2013 when compared to the same periods in 2012 primarily due to a $1.5 million prepayment penalty incurred on the prepayment of a repurchase agreement. Also, another factor was a charge of $231,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2013 relating to losses on three customer deposit accounts. The Company considers this a one-time charge and the Company has made a claim to its insurance carrier for a partial recovery.

 

 
33

 

 

Provision for Income Taxes

 

The increase in the provision for income taxes is a direct result of the Company’s increased taxable income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the same periods in 2012.

 

Nonperforming Assets

 

The allowance for loan losses is calculated based upon an evaluation of pertinent factors underlying the various types and quality of the Bank’s existing loan portfolio. When making such evaluation, management considers such factors as the repayment status of its loans, the estimated net realizable value of the underlying collateral, borrowers’ intent (to the extent known by the Bank) and ability to repay the loan, local economic conditions and the Bank’s historical loss ratios. The allowance for loan losses, as a percentage of nonperforming loans outstanding, as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was 52.8% and 57.0%, respectively. Total loans classified as substandard, doubtful or loss as of June 30, 2013, were $22.2 million or 3.48 % of total assets as compared to $21.7 million, or 3.28% of total assets at December 31, 2012. Management considered nonperforming and total classified loans in evaluating the adequacy of the Bank’s allowance for loan losses.

 

The ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets is another useful tool in evaluating exposure to credit risk. Nonperforming assets of the Bank include nonperforming loans and assets which have been acquired as a result of foreclosure or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure. All dollar amounts are in thousands.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Liquidity refers to the ability to manage future cash flows to meet the needs of depositors and borrowers and fund operations. Maintaining appropriate levels of liquidity allows the Company to have sufficient funds available for customer demand for loans, withdrawal of deposit balances and maturities of deposits and other liabilities. The Company’s primary sources of liquidity include cash and cash equivalents, customer deposits and Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines borrowings. The Company also has established borrowing lines available from the Federal Reserve Bank which is considered a secondary source of funds.

 

The Company’s most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents, which are cash on hand, amounts due from financial institutions, and certificates of deposit with other financial institutions that have an original maturity of three months or less. The levels of such assets are dependent on the Bank’s operating, financing, and investment activities at any given time. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents totaled $23,855,188 as of June 30, 2013 and $41,663,405 as of December 31, 2012, representing a decrease of $17,808,217. The variations in levels of cash and cash equivalents are influenced by many factors but primarily loan originations and payments, deposit flows and anticipated future deposit flows, which are subject to, and influenced by, many factors.

 

The Bank’s capital ratios are above the levels required to be considered a well-capitalized financial institution. As of June 30, 2013, the Bank’s Tier 1 leverage ratio was 9.76%, its Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 12.74% and the Bank’s total risk-based capital ratio was 14.00% - all exceeding the minimums of 5%, 6% and 10%, respectively.

With regards to the Series A Preferred Stock, if the Company is unable to redeem the stock by January 2014, the cost of capital to the Company will increase significantly from 5% per annum ($600,000 annually) to 9% per annum ($1,080,000 annually). Depending on the Company’s financial condition at the time, the increase in the annual dividend rate on the Series A Preferred Stock could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s liquidity and net income available to common stockholders.

 

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

Asset/Liability Management

 

The goal of the Bank’s asset/liability policy is to manage interest rate risk so as to maximize net interest income over time in changing interest rate environments. Management monitors the Bank’s net interest spreads (the difference between yields received on assets and paid on liabilities) and, although constrained by market conditions, economic conditions, and prudent underwriting standards, the Bank offers deposit rates and loan rates designed to maximize net interest income. Management also attempts to fund the Bank’s assets with liabilities of a comparable duration to minimize the impact of changing interest rates on the Bank’s net interest income. Since the relative spread between financial assets and liabilities is constantly changing, the Bank’s current net interest income may not be an indication of future net interest income.

 

As a part of its asset and liability management strategy and throughout the past several years, the Bank has continued to emphasize the origination of short-term commercial real estate, commercial business and consumer loans, while originating fixed-rate, one- to four-family residential loans primarily for immediate resale in the secondary market.

 

The Bank constantly monitors its deposits in an effort to decrease their interest rate sensitivity. Rates of interest paid on deposits at the Bank are priced competitively in order to meet the Bank’s asset/liability management objectives and spread requirements. The Bank believes, based on historical experience, that a substantial portion of such accounts represents non-interest rate sensitive core deposits.

 

Interest Rate Sensitivity Analysis

 

The following table sets forth as of June 30, 2013 management’s estimates of the projected changes in net portfolio value (“NPV”) in the event of 100 and 200 basis point (“bp”) instantaneous and permanent increases and decreases in market interest rates. Dollar amounts are expressed in thousands.

Computations of prospective effects of hypothetical interest rate changes are based on an internally generated model using actual maturity and repricing schedules for the Bank’s loans and deposits, and are based on numerous assumptions, including relative levels of market interest rates, loan repayments and deposit run-offs, and should not be relied upon as indicative of actual results. Further, the computations do not contemplate any actions the Bank may undertake in response to changes in interest rates. For further discussion of the Company’s market risk, see the Interest Rate Sensitivity Analysis Section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the Company’s 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

  

 
35

 

 

Management cannot predict future interest rates or their effect on the Bank’s NPV in the future. Certain shortcomings are inherent in the method of analysis presented in the computation of NPV. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods to repricing, they may react in differing degrees to changes in market interest rates. Additionally, certain assets, such as adjustable-rate loans, have an initial fixed rate period typically from one to five years, and over the remaining life of the asset changes in the interest rate are restricted. In addition, the proportion of adjustable-rate loans in the Bank’s portfolio could decrease in future periods due to refinancing activity if market interest rates remain steady in the future. Further, in the event of a change in interest rates, prepayment and early withdrawal levels could deviate significantly from those assumed in the table. Finally, the ability of many borrowers to service their adjustable-rate debt may decrease in the event of an interest rate increase.

 

The Bank’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) is responsible for reviewing the Bank’s asset and liability management policies. The Board meets quarterly to review interest rate risk and trends, as well as liquidity and capital ratios and requirements. The Bank’s management is responsible for administering the policies and determinations of the Board with respect to the Bank’s asset and liability goals and strategies.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

(a) The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

The Company conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2013.   

 

(b) There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
