Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

June 30, 2014

 

Note 1: Activities and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Hamilton Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on June 7, 2012 to serve as the stock holding company for Hamilton Bank (the “Bank”), a federally chartered savings bank. On October 10, 2012, in accordance with a Plan of Conversion adopted by its Board of Directors and approved by its members, the Bank converted from a mutual savings bank to a stock savings bank and became the wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The conversion was accomplished through the sale and issuance of 3,703,000 shares of common stock at a price of $10.00 per share, through which the Company received proceeds of approximately $35,580,000, net of offering expenses of approximately $1,450,000. In connection with the conversion, the Bank’s Board of Directors adopted an employee stock ownership plan (the “ESOP”) which subscribed for 8.0% of shares sold in the offering, or 296,240 common shares. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

In accordance with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the “OCC”) regulations, upon the completion of the conversion, the Bank restricted retained earnings by establishing a liquidation account. The liquidation account will be maintained for the benefit of eligible account holders who continue to maintain their accounts at the Bank after conversion. The liquidation account will be reduced annually to the extent that eligible account holders have reduced their qualifying deposits. Subsequent increases will not restore an eligible account holder’s interest in the liquidation account. In the event of a complete liquidation of the Bank, and only in such event, each account holder will be entitled to receive a distribution from the liquidation account in an amount proportionate to the adjusted qualifying account balances then held. The Bank may not pay dividends if those dividends would reduce equity capital below the required liquidation account amount.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting and with instructions for Form 10–Q and Regulation S–X as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the preceding unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial condition and results of operations for the periods presented. We derived the balances as of March 31, 2014 from audited financial statements. Operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2015, or any other period. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2014. Certain amounts from prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.

HAMILTON BANCORP, INC AND SUBSIDIARY

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

 

Nature of Operations. Hamilton Bancorp is a holding company that operates a community bank with 4 branches in the Baltimore-metropolitan area. Its primary deposit products are certificates of deposit and demand, savings, NOW, and money market accounts. Its primary lending products consist of real estate mortgages, along with commercial and consumer loans. Hamilton Bancorp’s primary source of revenue is derived from loans to customers, who are predominately small and middle-market businesses and middle-income individuals.

Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, deferred income tax valuation allowances, the fair value of investment securities and other temporary impairment of investment securities.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. The Bank records unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of taxes. Unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities are reclassified into earnings as the gains or losses are realized upon sale of the securities. The credit component of unrealized losses on available for sale securities that are determined to be other-than-temporarily impaired are reclassified into earnings at the time the determination is made.

Stock Based Compensation. Compensation cost is recognized for stock options and restricted stock awards issued to employees and directors, based on the fair value of these awards at the date of grant. A Black-Scholes model is utilized to estimate the fair value of stock options, while the market price of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant is used for restricted stock awards. Compensation cost is recognized over the required service period, generally defined as the vesting period. For awards with graded vesting, compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award.

Subsequent Events. Management has evaluated events and transactions subsequent to June 30, 2014 through the date these financial statements were available to be issued. No significant subsequent events were identified that would affect the presentation of the financial statements.

 

Note 2: New Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

ASU 2011-11, “Balance Sheet (Topic 210) - Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities.” ASU 2011-11 amends Topic 210, “Balance Sheet,” to require an entity to disclose both gross and net information about financial instruments, such as sales and repurchase agreements and reverse sale and repurchase agreements and securities borrowing/lending arrangements, and derivative instruments that are eligible for offset in the statement of financial position and/or subject to a master netting arrangement or similar agreement. ASU 2011-11 became effective for annual and interim periods beginning on April 1, 2013, and did not have a significant impact on our financial statements.

ASU 2012-02, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) – Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment. ASU 2012-02 gives entities the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, an entity determines it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired, then the entity must perform the quantitative impairment test. If, under the quantitative impairment test, the carrying amount of the intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an entity should recognize an impairment loss in the amount of that excess. Permitting an entity to assess qualitative factors when testing indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment results in guidance that is similar to the goodwill impairment testing guidance in ASU 2011-08. ASU 2012-02 became effective on January 1, 2013, and did not have a significant impact on our financial statements.

ASU 2012-06, Business Combinations (Topic 805) – Subsequent Accounting for an Indemnification Asset Recognized at the Acquisition Date as a Result of a Government-Assisted Acquisition of a Financial Institution (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). ASU 2012-06 clarifies the applicable guidance for subsequently measuring an indemnification asset recognized as a result of a government-assisted acquisition of a financial institution. Under ASU 2012-06, when a reporting entity recognizes an indemnification asset as a result of a government-assisted acquisition of a financial institution and, subsequently, a change in the cash flows expected to be collected on the indemnification asset occurs (as a result of a change in cash flows expected to be collected on the assets subject to indemnification), the reporting entity should subsequently account for the change in the measurement of the indemnification asset on the same basis as the change in the assets subject to indemnification. Any amortization of changes in value should be limited to the contractual term of the indemnification agreement (that is, the lesser of the term of the indemnification agreement and the remaining life of the indemnified assets). ASU 2012-06 became effective on January 1, 2013, and did not have a significant impact on our financial statements.

ASU 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) – Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive income. ASU 2013-02 amends recent guidance related to the reporting of comprehensive income to enhance the reporting of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income. ASU 2013-02 became effective on January 1, 2013, and did not have a significant impact on our financial statements.

ASU 2013-12, “Definition of a Public Business Entity - An Addition to the Master Glossary.” ASU 2013-12 amends the Master Glossary of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification to include one definition of public business entity for future use in U.S. GAAP and identifies the types of business entities that are excluded from the scope of the Private Company Decision-Making Framework: A Guide for Evaluating Financial Accounting and Reporting for Private Companies. ASU 2013-12 did not have a significant impact on our financial statements.

ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” ASU 2014-09 implements a common revenue standard that clarifies the principles for recognizing revenue. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised 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. To achieve that core principle, an entity should apply the following steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. ASU 2014-09 is effective on January 1, 2017 and is not expected to have a significant impact on our financial statements.

 

Note 3: Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Weighted average shares excludes unallocated ESOP shares. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity.

Both the basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 are summarized below:

 

     Three Months ended     Three Months ended  
     June 30, 2014     June 30, 2013

Due to the net loss reported for the three months ended June 30, 2014, the outstanding common stock equivalents are not dilutive. There were no common stock equivalents, such as stock options, outstanding during the three months ended June 30, 2013.

 

Note 4: Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

On December 4, 2009, the Bank acquired a branch office in Pasadena, Maryland from K Bank. The Bank paid premiums of $653,000 and $92,000 for the certificates of deposit and loans that were acquired, respectively. The premiums were being amortized over four years, which were the estimated lives of the certificates and loans. The Bank also purchased $757,432 of premises and equipment, which includes the building, land, and equipment. In addition, the Bank recorded goodwill totaling $2,664,432 and identifiable intangibles (core deposit intangible) totaling $434,000. The goodwill is deductible for tax purposes. We evaluate goodwill and other intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis. The core deposit intangible asset is being amortized over 10 years.

The activity in goodwill and acquired intangible assets related to the branch purchase is as follows:

The gross unrealized losses on debt securities are not considered by management to be other-than-temporary impairments. Management has the intent and ability to hold these securities until recovery of their value. In most cases, temporary impairment is caused by market interest rate fluctuations.

(1) “Investor” loans are residential mortgage loans secured by non-owner occupied one- to four-family properties

Residential lending is generally considered to involve less risk than other forms of lending, although payment experience on these loans is dependent on economic and market conditions in the Bank’s lending area. Construction loan repayments are generally dependent on the related properties or the financial condition of its borrower or guarantor. Accordingly, repayment of such loans can be more susceptible to adverse conditions in the real estate market and the regional economy.

A substantial portion of the Bank’s loan portfolio is mortgage loans secured by residential and commercial real estate properties located in the Baltimore metropolitan area. Loans are extended only after evaluation of a customer’s creditworthiness and other relevant factors on a case-by-case basis. The Bank generally does not lend more than 90% of the appraised value of a property and requires private mortgage insurance on residential mortgages with loan-to-value ratios in excess of 80%. In addition, the Bank generally obtains personal guarantees of repayment from borrowers and/or others for construction loans and disburses the proceeds of those and similar loans only as work progresses on the related projects.

Credit quality indicators

As part of the ongoing monitoring of the credit quality of the Bank’s loan portfolio, management tracks certain credit quality indicators including trends related to the risk grade of loans, the level of classified loans, net charge offs, nonperforming loans, and the general economic conditions in the Bank’s market.

The Bank utilizes a risk grading matrix to assign a risk grade to each of its loans. A description of the general characteristics of loans characterized as watch list or classified is as follows:

Pass

A pass loan is considered of sufficient quality to preclude a special mention or an adverse rating. Pass assets generally are well protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or by the value of the asset or underlying collateral.

Special Mention

A special mention loan has potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or in the Bank’s credit position at some future date. Special mention loans are not adversely classified and do not expose the Bank to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

 

Loans that would primarily fall into this notational category could have been previously classified adversely, but the deficiencies have since been corrected. Management should closely monitor recent payment history of the loan and value of the collateral.

Borrowers may exhibit poor liquidity and leverage positions resulting from generally negative cash flow or negative trends in earnings. Access to alternative financing may be limited to finance companies for business borrowers and may be unavailable for commercial real estate borrowers.

Substandard

A substandard loan is inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Substandard loans have a well defined weakness, or weaknesses, that jeopardize the collection or liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. This will be the measurement for determining if a loan is impaired.

Borrowers may exhibit recent or unexpected unprofitable operations, an inadequate debt service coverage ratio, or marginal liquidity and capitalization. These loans require more intense supervision by Bank management.

Foreclosed real estate will be treated as a classifiable asset. Generally, foreclosed real estate will be classified as substandard, except if the property is subject to an agreement of sale or if the asset is generating sufficient income. An appraisal may be performed on the asset to estimate its value. When the property is transferred to foreclosed real estate, a sufficient amount will be charged off against the allowance for loan losses in order to account for the property at its fair value less estimated cost to sell.

Doubtful

A doubtful loan has all the weaknesses inherent as a substandard loan with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. A loan classified as doubtful exhibits loss potential. However, there is still sufficient reason to permit the loan to remain on the books. A doubtful classification could reflect the deterioration of the primary source of repayment and serious doubt exists as to the quality of the secondary source of repayment.

Doubtful classifications should be used only when a distinct and known possibility of loss exists. When identified, adequate loss should be recorded for the specific assets. The entire asset should not be classified as doubtful if a partial recovery is expected, such as liquidation of the collateral or the probability of a private mortgage insurance payment is likely.

Loss

Loans classified as loss are considered uncollectable and of such little value that their continuance as loans is unjustified. A loss classification does not mean a loan has absolutely no value; partial recoveries may be received in the future. When loans or portions of a loan are considered a loss, it will be the policy of the Bank to write-off the amount designated as a loss. Recoveries will be treated as additions to the allowance for loan losses.

Classified loans also include certain loans that have been modified in 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 Bank’s loss mitigation activities and could include reductions in the interest rate, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance or other actions. Generally, 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.

A summary of TDRs at June 30, 2014 and March 31, 2014 follows:

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

 

The Bank did not add any new TDR’s during the three month period ended June 30, 2014.

In the normal course of business, the Bank has various outstanding commitments and contingent liabilities that are not reflected in the accompanying financial statements. Loan commitments and lines of credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition to the contract. Mortgage loan commitments generally have fixed interest rates, fixed expiration dates, and may require payment of a fee. Other loan commitments generally have fixed interest rates. Lines of credit generally have variable interest rates. Such lines do not represent future cash requirements because it is unlikely that all customers will draw upon their lines in full at any time.

The Bank’s maximum exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the customer is the contractual amount of the credit commitment. Loan commitments, lines of credit, and letters of credit are made on the same terms, including collateral, as outstanding loans. Management is not aware of any accounting loss to be incurred by funding these loan commitments.

The Bank had the following outstanding commitments and unused lines of credit as of June 30, 2014 and March 31, 2014:

Note 7: Regulatory Capital Ratios

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency has adopted risk-based capital standards for banking organizations. These standards require ratios of capital to assets for minimum capital adequacy and to be classified as well capitalized under prompt corrective action provisions. The capital ratios and minimum capital requirements of the Bank at June 30, 2014 and March 31, 2014 were as follows:

 

           Minimum     To be well

Tier 1 capital consists of total shareholders’ equity less goodwill and intangible assets. Total capital includes a limited amount of the allowance for loan losses and a portion of any unrealized gain on equity securities. In calculating risk-weighted assets, specified risk percentages are applied to each category of asset and off-balance-sheet items.

Failure to meet the capital requirements could affect, among other things, the Bank’s ability to accept brokered deposits and may significantly affect the operations of the Bank.

In its regulatory report filed as of June 30, 2014, the Bank exceeded all regulatory capital requirements and was considered “well capitalized” under regulatory guidelines. Management is not aware of any events that would have caused this classification to change. Management has no plans that should change the classification of the capital adequacy.

 

Note 8: Stock Based Compensation

In November 2013, the Company’s shareholders approved a new Equity Incentive Plan (the “2013 Equity Incentive Plan’’). The 2013 Equity Incentive Plan allows for up to 148,120 shares to be issued to employees, executive officers or Directors in the form of restricted stock, and up to 370,300 shares to be issued to employees, executive officers or Directors in the form of stock options. At June 30, 2014, there were 77,250 restricted stock awards issued and outstanding and 225,150 stock option awards granted under the 2013 Incentive Plan.

Stock Options:

Under the above plan, the exercise price for stock options is the market price at date of grant. The maximum option term is ten years and the options granted shall vest in five equal annual installments of 20% with the first installment becoming exercisable on the first anniversary of the date of grant, or February 3, 2015, and succeeding installments on each anniversary thereafter, through February 3, 2019. The Company issues new shares to satisfy share option exercises. Total compensation cost that has been charged against income for the stock option plan was $52,302 for the three months ended June 30, 2014.

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a closed form option valuation (Black-Scholes) model that uses the assumptions noted in the table below. Expected volatilities are based on historical data. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and post-vesting termination behavior. The expected term of options granted represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding, which takes into account that the options are not transferable. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury rate equal to the expected term of the option in effect at the time of the grant.

The fair value of options granted during the year ended March 31, 2014 was determined using the following weighted-average assumptions as of grant date.

 

     2014  

Risk free interest rate

     2.07

Expected term

     7.0 years   

Expected stock price volatility

     27.30

Dividend yield

     0.00

The fair value of the options granted at grant date was $4.65.

As of June 30, 2014 there was $958,876 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested stock options granted under the Plan. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 4.58 years. As of June 30, 2014, the outstanding stock options have no intrinsic value because the stock price at June 30, 2014 was less than the weighted average exercise price.

Restricted Stock:

The specific terms of each restricted stock award are determined by the Compensation Committee at the date of the grant. Compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period of the awards based on the fair value of the stock at the issue date. The fair value of the stock was determined using the total number of restricted stock awards granted multiplied by the fair market value of a share of Company stock at the grant date. Restricted stock awards granted shall vest in five equal annual installments of 20% with the first installment becoming vested on the first anniversary of the date of grant, or February 3, 2015, and succeeding installments on each anniversary thereafter, through February 3, 2019.

The Company recorded restricted stock awards expense of $53,496 during the three months ended June 30, 2014. As of June 30, 2014, there was $980,753 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested shares granted under the 2013 stock incentive plan. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 4.58 years.

 

Note 9: Fair Value Measurements

Generally accepted accounting principles define fair value, establish a framework for measuring fair value, and establish a hierarchy for determining fair value measurement. The hierarchy includes three levels and is based upon the valuation techniques used to measure assets and liabilities. The three levels are as follows:

Level 1: Valuation is based on quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;

 

22


Table of Contents

HAMILTON BANCORP, INC AND SUBSIDIARY

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

 

Level 2: Valuation is determined from quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active or by model-based techniques in which all significant inputs are observable in the market; and

Level 3: Valuation is derived from model-based techniques in which at least one significant input is unobservable and based on the Company’s own estimates about the assumptions that market participants would use to value the asset or liability.

The following is a description of the valuation methods used for instruments measured at fair value as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the applicable valuation method.

Fair value measurements on a recurring basis

Securities available for sale – If quoted prices are available in an active market for identical assets, securities are classified within Level 1 of the hierarchy. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics or discounted cash flows. As of June 30, 2014 and March 31, 2014, the Bank has categorized its investment securities available for sale as follows:

Fair value measurements on a nonrecurring basis

Impaired Loans – The Bank has measured impairment generally based on the fair value of the loan’s collateral. Fair value is generally determined based upon independent appraisals of the properties, or discounted cash flows based upon the expected proceeds. These assets are included as Level 3 fair values. As of June 30, 2014 and March 31, 2014, the fair values consist of loan balances of $10,630,668 and $10,987,334 that have been written down by $170,013 and $168,746, respectively, as a result of specific loan loss allowances.

The fair values of cash and cash equivalents and advances by borrowers for taxes and insurance are estimated to equal the carrying amount.

The fair values of Federal Home Loan Bank stock and bank-owned life insurance are estimated to equal carrying amounts, which are based on repurchase prices of the FHLB stock and the insurance company.

The fair value of fixed-rate loans is estimated to be the present value of scheduled payments discounted using interest rates currently in effect. The fair value of variable-rate loans, including loans with a demand feature, is estimated to equal the carrying amount. The valuation of loans is adjusted for estimated loan losses.

The fair value of interest-bearing checking, savings, and money market deposit accounts is equal to the carrying amount. The fair value of fixed-maturity time deposits is estimated based on interest rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

The fair value of outstanding loan commitments and unused lines of credit are considered to be the same as the contractual amounts, and are not included in the table above. These commitments generate fees that approximate those currently charged to originate similar commitments.

General

Hamilton Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) is a Maryland corporation incorporated on June 7, 2012 by Hamilton Bank (the “Bank”) to be its holding company following the Bank’s conversion from the mutual to the stock form of organization (the “Conversion”). The Conversion was completed on October 10, 2012. On that same date, the Company completed its public stock offering and issued 3,703,000 shares of its common stock for aggregate proceeds of $37,030,000, and net proceeds of $35,640,000. The Company’s business is the ownership of the outstanding capital stock of the Bank. The Company does not own or lease any property but instead uses the premises, equipment and other property of the Bank.

Founded in 1915, the Bank is a community-oriented financial institution, dedicated to serving the financial service needs of customers and businesses within its geographic area, which consists of Baltimore City, Baltimore County, and Anne Arundel County in Maryland. We offer a variety of deposit products and provide loans secured by real estate located in our market area. Our real estate loans consist primarily of one-to four-family mortgage loans, as well as commercial real estate loans, and home equity loans and lines of credit. We also offer commercial term and line of credit loans and, to a limited extent, consumer loans. We currently operate out of our corporate headquarters in Towson, Maryland and our four full-service branch offices located in Baltimore City, Cockeysville, Towson and Pasadena, Maryland. The Bank is subject to extensive regulation, examination and supervision by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, its primary federal regulator, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, its deposit insurer. The Company is subject to regulation and supervision by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

The Company and the Bank maintain an Internet website at http://www.hamilton-bank.com. Information on our website should not be considered a part of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Critical Accounting Policies

We consider accounting policies involving significant judgments and assumptions by management that have, or could have, a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets or on income to be critical accounting policies. The following represent our critical accounting policies:

Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is the amount estimated by management as necessary to cover losses inherent in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date. The allowance is established through the provision for loan losses, which is charged to income. Determining the amount of the allowance for loan losses necessarily involves a

 

26


Table of Contents

high degree of judgment. Among the material estimates required to establish the allowance are: loss exposure at default, the amount and timing of future cash flows on impacted loans, value of collateral, and determination of loss factors to be applied to the various elements of the portfolio. All of these estimates are susceptible to significant change. Management reviews the level of the allowance monthly and establishes the provision for loan losses based upon an evaluation of the portfolio, past loss experience, current economic conditions, and other factors related to the collectability of the loan portfolio. Although we believe that we use the best information available to establish the allowance for loan losses, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if economic or other conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the evaluation. In addition, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, as an integral part of its examination process, periodically reviews our allowance for loan losses and may require us to recognize adjustments to the allowance based on its judgments about information available to it at the time of its examination. A large loss could deplete the allowance and require increased provisions to replenish the allowance, which would adversely affect earnings.

Fair Value of Investments. Securities are characterized as available for sale or held to maturity based on management’s ability and intent regarding such investment at acquisition. On an ongoing basis, management must estimate the fair value of its investment securities based on information and assumptions it deems reliable and reasonable, which may be quoted market prices or if quoted market prices are not available, fair values extrapolated from the quoted prices of similar instruments. Based on this information, an assessment must be made as to whether any decline in the fair value of an investment security should be considered as an other-than-temporary impairment and recorded in noninterest revenue as a loss on investments. The determination of such impairment is subject to a variety of factors, including management’s judgment and experience.

Goodwill Impairment. Goodwill represents the excess purchase price paid for our Pasadena branch over the fair value of the net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. The Bank is considered the Reporting Unit for purposes of impairment testing. Impairment testing requires that the fair value of the Bank be compared to the carrying amount of the Bank’s net assets, including goodwill. If the fair value of the Bank exceeds the book value, no write-down of recorded goodwill is required. If the fair value of the Bank is less than book value, an expense may be required to write-down the related goodwill to the proper carrying value. We test for impairment of goodwill during February of each year. We estimate the fair value of the Bank utilizing four valuation methods including the Comparable Transactions Approach, the Control premium Approach, the Public Market Peers Approach, and the Discounted Cash Flow Approach.

Based on our impairment testing during February 2014, there was no evidence of impairment of the Bank’s goodwill or intangible assets.

Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2014 and March 31, 2014

Assets. Total assets decreased $2.0 million, or 0.7%, to $300.8 million at June 30, 2014 from $302.8 million at March 31, 2014. The decrease in assets is primarily attributable to an $8.0 million decrease in cash and cash equivalents, partially offset by increases of $4.4 million and $2.0 million within the investment and net loan portfolio (including loans held for sale), respectively.

Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $8.0 million, or 24.3%, to $25.0 million at June 30, 2014 from $33.1 million at March 31, 2014. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents funded a $4.4 million increase in investments, a $2.0 million increase in net loans, and a 5% stock buyback program that was completed in May 2014 for $2.5 million.

Securities. Total securities increased $4.4 million, or 4.3%, to $108.0 million at June 30, 2014, as mortgage-backed securities increased $5.1 million, municipal bonds increased $1.1 million and a U.S. treasury note was purchased for $1.9 million. These increases were partially offset by a $3.6 million decrease in U.S. government agency securities. The increase in mortgage-backed securities included the purchase of $8.3 million in mortgage-backed securities and collaterized mortgage obligations, partially offset by $3.7 million in principal pay downs. The decrease in U.S. government agency securities was the result of two bonds that were called, each with a $2.0 million par value.

Loans. Net loans, including loans held for sale, increased by $2.0 million, or 1.4%, to $144.9 million at June 30, 2014 from $142.9 million at March 31, 2014. The largest increase in loans over the most recent three months was a $3.1 million, or 19.9% increase in commercial business loans from $15.7 million at March 31, 2014 to $18.8 million at June 30, 2014. In addition, commercial real estate loans increased $1.9 million to $43.3 million at June 30, 2014 from $41.4 million at March 31, 2014. The Bank remains focused on originating commercial loans because of the higher interest rates they carry and the shorter duration compared to residential loans.

Partially offsetting the increases in the commercial loan portfolio is a $2.1 million decrease in one- to four-family residential loans (including investor loans) from $72.1 million at March 31, 2014 to $70.0 million at June 30, 2014 as these loans either paid down, repaid or refinanced. The Bank continues to originate one- to four-family residential loans and sell them in the secondary market at a premium in order to manage interest rate risk in a rising rate environment.

Deposits. Total deposits were unchanged at $238.8 million for the period ended June 30, 2014 compared to March 31, 2014. The Company continues to focus on changing its deposit mix to rely less on certificates of deposit as a primary funding source and attract lower costing core deposits. As a result, core deposits, which we consider to be all deposits except certificates of deposit, increased $2.4 million, or 3.5%, to $71.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2015 compared to $68.7 million at March 31, 2014. The increase in core deposits consisted of a $3.4 million, or 14.0%, increase in checking accounts from $24.4 million at March 31, 2014 to $27.8 million at June 30, 2014. The increase in checking accounts was partially offset by a $1.0 million decrease in savings and money market accounts. The increase in core deposits was offset by a $2.5 million decrease in time deposits which decreased from $170.1 million at March 31, 2014 to $167.6 million at June 30, 2014.

Borrowings. The Company had no borrowings outstanding at June 30, 2014 or March 31, 2014.

Equity. Total shareholders’ equity at June 30, 2014 decreased $2.0 million to $59.8 million, compared to total shareholders’ equity of $61.8 million at March 31, 2014. The decrease in shareholders’ equity was attributable to the $192,000 net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 and a 5.0% stock buyback program completed in May 2014 for $2.5 million that resulted in the repurchase of 179,755 common shares. The decrease in equity from the stock buyback was partially offset by a $586,000 increase in accumulated other comprehensive income resulting from the positive impact of lower interest rates over the current quarter on the market value of the investment portfolio.

As a result of the stock buyback program completed in May 2014, the Company’s book value per common share at June 30, 2014 increased from $17.18 at March 31, 2014 to $17.50 at June 30, 2014. At June 30, 2014, tangible book value per common share, which includes the $(0.83) per share effect of the Company’s $2.8 million of goodwill and other intangibles, equaled $16.67 per share compared to $16.39 at March 31, 2014.

Comparison of Asset Quality at June 30, 2014 and March 31, 2014

Nonperforming assets increased slightly to $5.8 million at June 30, 2014 from $5.7 million at March 31, 2014. Total nonperforming assets at June 30, 2014 remained unchanged at 1.9% of total assets compared to March 31, 2014. Non-performing assets for the respective periods were as follow:

Nonperforming loans, consisting of nonaccruing and accruing loans delinquent more than 90 days, increased $47,000 from $5.0 million at March 31, 2014, to $5.1 million at June 30, 2014. Accruing loans delinquent more than 90 days totaled $1.3 million at June 30, 2014. These loans are on accrual status and paying under the contractually agreed upon terms of the note. However, such loans were 90 days past their contractual maturity date at June 30, 2014 and, therefore, are reported as nonperforming. At March 31, 2014, these loans represented $801,000 of the $5.0 million in non-performing loans.

Nonaccrual loans decreased $449,000, or 10.6%, to $3.8 million at June 30, 2014 compared to $4.2 million at March 31, 2014. The decrease in nonaccrual loans includes $39,000 in net charge-offs and $281,000 as a result of loan payments, including a $186,000 loan pay-off from the Small Business Administration (SBA) for their loan guarantee on a commercial loan.

Nonaccrual loans include six commercial loans totaling $3.2 million, one of which is a troubled debt restructure (TDR) for $652,000 that is paying as agreed but has been placed on nonaccrual by management until the borrower can show sustained cash flow adequate to perform under the terms of the TDR agreement. Nonaccrual loans also include a commercial construction loan for $1.5 million that is also paying as agreed but has been placed on nonaccrual due to failure to complete the project and the lack of funding to do so. The remaining balance of non-accrual loans is associated with one- to four-family residential mortgages.

Foreclosed real estate remained unchanged at June 30, 2014 compared to March 31, 2014 with a balance of $664,000. Foreclosed real estate consists of one loan pertaining to commercial land development in which the Bank is a 68% participant with another financial institution who is the lead lender. The property is currently listed for sale.

The provision for loan losses totaled $300,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 compared to a $304,000 provision for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. The provision for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 is attributable to new commercial loan originations, particularly commercial business lines of credit, and the required allowance for loan loss balance calculated in accordance with ASC 450.

The allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2014 totaled $2.0 million, or 1.39% of total loans, compared to $1.8 million or 1.23% of total loans at March 31, 2014. The $261,000 increase in the allowance for loan losses is the result of $300,000 in provision for loan losses, partially offset by $39,000 in net charge-offs for the three month period ended June 30, 2014.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 (unaudited)

General. A net loss of $192,000 was reported for the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to net income of $18,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The decrease in income resulted primarily from a $172,000 decrease in net interest income, a $33,000 decrease in noninterest revenue, and a $118,000 increase in noninterest expenses, partially offset by a $109,000 increase in income tax benefit.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income decreased $172,000, or 8.1%, to $2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The decrease in net interest income was due to a $ 288,000 decrease in interest revenue, partially offset by an $117,000 decrease in interest expense. The decrease in interest income was primarily due to a decrease in the average balance of interest-earning assets. The average balance of interest earning assets decreased $29.8 million, or 9.7%, for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same period in fiscal 2014, while the average yield decreased 5 basis points from 3.49% for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 to 3.44% for the quarter ended June 30, 2014. The decline in the average balance of interest-earning assets was partially offset by a $22.8 million decline in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits over the same period, as well as a 12 basis point decrease in the average yield of interest-bearing liabilities from 0.90% for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 to 0.78% for the quarter ended June 30, 2014. As a result, the net interest margin increased 5 basis points from 2.77% at June 30, 2013 to 2.82% at June 30, 2014.

Interest Revenue. Interest revenue decreased $288,000 to $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from $2.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The decrease resulted primarily from a $308,000 decrease in interest revenue on loans, partially offset by an increase of $20,000 in interest revenue on investment securities.

Interest on loans decreased $308,000, or 14.3%, to $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The decrease in interest revenue on loans was primarily due to a $15.6 million decrease in the net average balance of loans from $159.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013

to $144.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 due to the payoff of several larger commercial loans bearing higher rates of interest over these periods. This resulted in both a decrease in the average balance of net loans and a 28 basis point decrease in the average yield on loans from 5.39% for the three months ended June 30, 2013 to 5.11% for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The decrease in average yields on loans is also a reflection of the decrease in market interest rates for loan products.

Interest and dividend revenue on total securities increased $20,000 to $531,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from $511,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The increase resulted from $36,000 in interest revenue associated with new investments in municipal bonds, partially offset by a $10,000 and $6,000 decrease in interest revenue from U.S. treasuries and government agencies and mortgage-backed securities, respectively. The overall increase in interest revenue on “investment securities” (includes U.S. agency and treasury securities and municipal bonds) was primarily due to a 44 basis point increase in the average yield to 2.15% for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 compared to 1.71% for the quarter ended June 30, 2013, partially offset by a $660,000 decrease in the average balance of these securities. The decrease in interest revenue from mortgage-backed securities was primarily due to a $12.4 million decrease in the average balance on mortgage-backed securities to $79.6 million, partially offset by a 24 basis point increase in the average yield to 1.95% for the period ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same period last year.

Interest Expense. Interest expense, consisting entirely of the cost of interest-bearing deposits, decreased $117,000, or 21.3%, to $431,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from $548,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The decrease in the cost of interest-bearing deposits was due to a decrease of 12 basis points in the average rate paid on interest-bearing deposits to 0.78% for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from 0.90% for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The decrease in interest expense was also due to a $22.8 million, or 9.3%, decrease in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits from $244.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 to $221.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The decline in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits was primarily due to our strategy to allow higher costing certificates of deposit to runoff at maturity and gradually replace them with lower-cost core deposits. The balance of certificates of deposit decreased $19.4 million, or 10.4% from $187.0 million at June 30, 2013 to $167.6 million at June 30, 2014.

Provision for Loan Losses. We establish provisions for loan losses that are charged to operations in order to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level believed, to the best of management’s knowledge, to cover all known and inherent losses in the portfolio that are both probable and reasonable to estimate at each reporting date. We recorded a $300,000 provision for loan losses for the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to a $304,000 provision for loan losses for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. The provision for loan losses in the first quarter of fiscal 2015 was primarily related to the increase in the commercial loan portfolio and the required allowance for loan loss under ASC 450 associated with these loans.

The allowance for loan losses was $2.0 million, or 40.2% of non-performing loans at June 30, 2014 compared to $1.8 million, or 35.4% of non-performing loans at June 30, 2013. During the three months ended June 30, 2014, loan charge offs totaled $45,000 with recoveries of $6,000, compared to $169,000 in charge offs with $24,000 in recoveries during the three months ended June 30, 2013. During fiscal year 2015 we will continue our emphasis in growing commercial real estate and commercial business loans, which are generally considered to bear higher credit risk than one-to four-family mortgage loans and could contribute to higher provisions going forward.

Noninterest Revenue. Noninterest revenue decreased $33,000, or 12.6% to $232,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $265,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The decrease is attributable to a $73,000 decrease in gain on sale of investment securities, partially offset by a $37,000 increase in service charges and a $12,000 increase in other noninterest revenue. The increase in service charges is due to the bank focusing on growing our core deposits, particularly checking accounts, and increasing our fee structure to be more aligned with our market.

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense increased $118,000, or 5.5%, to $2.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The largest components of this increase consisted of a $202,000 increase in salaries and benefits and a $86,000 increase in other operating expenses. The increase in salary and benefits is due to the hiring of new personnel, increased insurance premiums, and the cost associated with awards granted under the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan in February 2014. The increase in other operating expenses includes several minor items, including increases in bank related fees, postage and printing, and card service expense. These increases in noninterest expense were partially offset by a $40,000 decrease in advertising, a $33,000 decrease in legal expense, a $44,000 decrease in occupancy and equipment expense, a $28,000 decrease in other professional services, and a $17,000 decrease in foreclosed real estate expense. Many of the noninterest expense decreases, particularly legal and other professional services, are a result of the costs incurred during the prior year associated with the Company becoming publicly traded. In addition, management is focused on being more efficient and reducing other noninterest expenses.

Income Tax Expense. We recorded a $175,000 income tax benefit for the three months ended June 30, 2014 after a net loss before income taxes of $367,000, compared to a $66,000 income tax benefit for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The effective income tax rate was a negative 47.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to a negative 136.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The negative tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2014 was a result of the net loss before income taxes, as well as tax-exempt revenue totaling $107,000.

Liquidity, Capital Resources, and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Liquidity is the ability to meet current and future financial obligations of a short-term nature. Our primary sources of funds available to meet short-term liquidity needs consist of deposit inflows, loan repayments, and maturities and sales of investment securities. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions, and competition. We regularly adjust our investments in liquid assets available to meet short-term liquidity needs based upon our assessment of (i) expected loan demand, (ii) expected deposit flows, (iii) yields available on interest-earning deposits and securities, and (iv) the objectives of our asset/liability management policy. We do not have long-term debt or other financial obligations that would create long-term liquidity concerns.

Our most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents and interest-bearing deposits. The level of these assets depends on our operating, financing, lending, and investing activities during any given period. At June 30, 2014, cash and cash equivalents totaled $25.0 million and securities classified as available-for-sale amounted to $108.0 million. At June 30, 2014, the Bank had the ability to borrow a total of approximately $58.7 million or 20% of total assets from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta. The Bank also has two lines of credit totaling $6.0 million with one large financial institution. At June 30, 2014, we had no Federal Home Loan Bank advances outstanding or borrowings on available lines of credit.

Certificates of deposit due within one year of June 30, 2014 totaled $109.7 million, or 65.5% of certificates of deposit. We believe the large percentage of certificates of deposit that mature within one year reflects customers’ hesitancy to invest their funds for longer periods due to the current low interest rate environment and local competitive pressures. If these maturing deposits do not remain with us, we will be required to seek other sources of funds, including other certificates of deposit and borrowings. Depending on market conditions, we may be required to pay higher rates on such deposits or other borrowings than we currently pay on certificates of deposit due on or before June 30, 2015. We believe, however, based on past experience that a significant portion of our certificates of deposit will remain with us. We have the ability to attract and retain deposits by adjusting the interest rates offered.

In the normal course of operations, we engage in a variety of financial transactions that, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, are not recorded in our financial statements. These transactions involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, interest rate and liquidity risk. Such transactions are used primarily to manage customers’ requests for funding and take the form of loan commitments, unused lines of credit and letters of credit. At June 30, 2014, we had $27.2 million in commitments to extend credit outstanding.

We are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, including a risk-based capital measure. The risk-based capital guidelines include both a definition of capital and a framework for calculating risk-weighted assets by assigning balance sheet assets and off-balance sheet items to broad risk categories. At June 30, 2014, the Bank exceeded all of its regulatory capital requirements and was considered “well capitalized” under regulatory guidelines.

In July 2013, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the other federal bank regulatory agencies issued a final rule that will revise their leverage and risk-based capital requirements and the method for calculating risk-weighted assets to make them consistent with agreements that were reached by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision and certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act. Among other things, the rule establishes a new common equity Tier 1 minimum capital requirement (4.5% of risk-weighted assets), increases the minimum Tier 1 capital to risk-based assets requirement (from 4% to 6% of risk-weighted assets) and assigns a higher risk weight (150%) to exposures that are more than 90 days past due or are on nonaccrual status and to certain commercial real estate facilities that finance the acquisition, development or construction of real property. The final rule also requires unrealized gains and losses on certain “available-for-sale” securities holdings to be included for purposes of calculating regulatory capital unless a one-time opt-out is exercised. The rule limits a banking organization’s capital distributions and certain discretionary bonus payments if the banking organization does not hold a “capital conservation buffer” consisting of 2.5% of common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets in addition to the amount necessary to meet its minimum risk-based capital requirements. The final rule becomes effective for the Company and the Bank on January 1, 2015. The capital conservation buffer requirement will be phased in beginning January 1, 2016 and ending January 1, 2019, when the full capital conservation buffer requirement will be effective.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, management of the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as that term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e). Based on this evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

It should be noted that the design of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures is based in part upon certain reasonable assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no reasonable assurance that any design of disclosure controls and procedures will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote, but the Company’s principal executive and financial officers have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are, in fact, effective at a reasonable assurance level.

During the period covered by this report, there have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 13a-15 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
