NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

(Table Dollar Amounts in Thousands, Except Share and Per Share Data)

  

Note 1:  Basis of Presentation

 

The consolidated condensed financial statements include the accounts of MutualFirst Financial, Inc. (MutualFirst or the “Company”), its wholly owned subsidiary MutualBank, an Indiana commercial bank (“Mutual” or the “Bank”), Mutual’s wholly owned subsidiaries, First MFSB Corporation, Mishawaka Financial Services, and Mutual Federal Investment Company (“MFIC”), and MFIC majority owned subsidiary, Mutual Federal REIT, Inc. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

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. These consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K annual report for year ended December 31, 2012, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 22, 2013.

 

The interim consolidated financial statements at June 30, 2013, have not been audited by independent accountants, but in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for such periods. The results of operations for the period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

 

The Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2012 has been derived from the Audited Consolidated Balance Sheet of the Company as of that date.

  

Note 2: Earnings per share

 

Earnings per share were computed as follows:

Options to purchase 82,000 and 266,185 shares of common stock were outstanding at June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted EPS above, because the average exercise price of the options was greater than the average market price of the common shares.

  

Note 3:  Impact of Accounting Pronouncements

 

The FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income. This ASU amendment allows an entity the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In both choices, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders' equity. The amendments to the Codification in the ASU do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. ASU 2011-05 is to be applied retrospectively. For public entities, the amendments were effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of ASU No. 2011-05 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

The FASB issued ASU No. 2011-12, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05.  This ASU defers the effective date of the requirement to present separate line items on the income statement for reclassification adjustments of items out of accumulated other comprehensive income into net income for all periods presented. The ASU does not change the other requirements of FASB ASU No. 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income. Entities are still required to present reclassification adjustments within other comprehensive income either on the face of the statement that reports other comprehensive income or in the notes to the financial statements. The requirement to present comprehensive income in either a single continuous statement or two consecutive condensed statements remains for both annual and interim reporting. The deferral of the requirement for the presentation of reclassification adjustments is intended to be temporary until the FASB reconsiders the operational concerns and needs of financial statement users.

 

The Company adopted the amendments in this Update at the same time as ASU 2011-05, which became effective beginning in the interim period ended March 31, 2012. The Company has adopted the methodologies prescribed by this ASU, and the ASU did not have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.

On July 27, 2012, FASB released ASU 2012-02 (Topic 350), Intangibles – Goodwill and Other. The amendments in this Update will allow an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative impairment test.

 

On February 28, 2013, FASB issued ASU 2013-04, Liabilities (Topic 405).  The amendments in this Update provide guidance for the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of this Update is fixed at the reporting date, except for obligations addressed within existing guidance in U.S. GAAP. The Company does not believe the adoption of ASU No. 2013-04 will have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

The carrying value of securities pledged as collateral, to secure public deposits and for other purposes, was $2.5 million at June 30, 2013.

 

Gross gains of $445,000 and $480,000 on proceeds from sales of securities of $31.5 million and $13.2 million were realized for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  Losses recognized on the sale of securities for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were $63,000 and $0, respectively.  

 

Certain investments in debt and marketable 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, was $129.9 million, a increase from $13.3 million at December 31, 2012, which is approximately 47% and 9%, respectively, of the Bank's portfolio.  

 

Based on evaluation of available evidence, including recent changes in market interest rates, management believes the declines in fair value for these securities, other than those discussed below, are temporary. Should the impairment of any of these securities become other-than-temporary, the cost basis of the investment will be reduced and the resulting loss recognized in net income in the period the other-than-temporary impairment is identified.

Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBS), Collateralized Mortgage Obligations (CMO) and Federal Agencies

 

The increase in unrealized losses on the Company’s investment in MBSs and CMOs and the increase in the amount of such investments subject to unrealized losses were caused by interest rate changes.  The Company expects to recover the amortized cost basis over the term of the securities.  Because the decline in market value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and because the Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is more likely than not the Company will not be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2013.

 

Municipals

 

The increase in unrealized losses on the Company’s investments in securities of state and political subdivisions and the increase in the amount of such investments subject to unrealized losses were caused by changes in interest rates.  The contractual terms of those investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the amortized cost basis of the investments.  The Company does not intend to sell the investment and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investment before recovery of its new, lower amortized cost basis, which may be maturity.  The Corporation does not consider the investment securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2013.

 

Corporate Obligations

 

The Company’s unrealized loss on investments in corporate obligations primarily relates to investments in pooled trust preferred securities. The increase in investments subject to unrealized losses less than 12 months were caused by interest rate changes. The unrealized losses were primarily caused by (a) a decrease in performance and regulatory capital at the underlying banks resulting from exposure to subprime mortgages and (b) a sector downgrade by several industry analysts. The Company currently expects some of the securities to settle at a price less than the amortized cost basis of the investment (that is, the Company expects to recover less than the entire amortized cost basis of the security). The Company has recognized a loss equal to the credit loss for these securities, establishing a new, and lower amortized cost basis. The credit loss was calculated by comparing expected discounted cash flows based on performance indicators of the underlying assets in the security to the carrying value of the investment. Because the Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is likely the Company will not be required to sell the investments before recovery of its new, lower amortized cost basis, which may be maturity, it does not consider the remainder of the investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2013.

 

Mutual evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) on a quarterly basis. During the quarter ended June 30, 2013, the Bank’s evaluation indicated that there was no other-than-temporary impairment of securities. Impairment on securities is determined after analyzing the estimated cash flows to be received, underlying collateral and determining the amount of additional losses needed in the individual pools to create a shortfall in interest or principal payments. All trust preferred securities were valued using a discounted cash flow analysis as of June 30, 2013.

 

Other-than-temporary Impairment

 

Upon acquisition of a security, the Company decides whether it is within the scope of the accounting guidance for beneficial interests in securitized financial assets or will be evaluated for impairment under the accounting guidance for investments in debt and equity securities.

 

10
 

 

The accounting guidance for beneficial interests in securitized financial assets provides incremental impairment guidance for a subset of the debt securities within the scope of the guidance for investments in debt and equity securities. Where the security is a beneficial interest in securitized financial assets, the Company uses the beneficial interests in securitized financial asset impairment model. Where the security is not a beneficial interest in securitized financial assets, the Company uses the debt and equity securities impairment model.

 

The Company routinely conducts reviews to identify and evaluate each investment security to determine whether an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred.  Economic models are used to determine whether an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred on these securities.  While all securities are considered, the securities primarily impacted by other-than-temporary impairment testing are pooled trust preferred securities.  For each pooled trust preferred security in the investment portfolio (including but not limited to those whose fair value is less than their amortized cost basis), an extensive, regular review is conducted to determine if an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred.  Various inputs to the economic models are used to determine if an unrealized loss is other-than-temporary.

 

The Bank’s trust preferred securities valuation was prepared by an independent third party.  The approach to determining fair value involved several steps including:

 

·Detailed credit and structural evaluation of each piece of collateral in the trust preferred securities;

 

·Collateral performance projections for each piece of collateral in the trust preferred security;

 

·Terms of the trust preferred structure, as laid out in the indenture; and

 

·Discounted cash flow modeling.

 

MutualFirst uses market-based yield indicators as a baseline for determining appropriate discount rates, and then adjusts the resulting discount rates on the basis of its credit and structural analysis of specific trust preferred securities.  The primary focus is on the returns a fixed income investor would require in order to allocate capital on a risk adjusted basis.  There is currently no active market for pooled trust preferred securities; however, the Company looks principally to market yields for stand-alone trust preferred securities issued by banks, thrifts and insurance companies for which there is an active and liquid market.  The next step is to make a series of adjustments to reflect the differences that exist between these products (both credit and structural) and, most importantly, to reflect idiosyncratic credit performance differences (both actual and projected) between these products and the underlying collateral in the specific trust preferred security.  Importantly, as part of the analysis described above, MutualFirst considers the fact that structured instruments frequently exhibit leverage not present in stand-alone instruments, and make adjustments as necessary to reflect this additional risk.

 

The default and recovery probabilities for each piece of collateral were formed based on the evaluation of the collateral credit and a review of historical industry default data and current/near-term operating conditions.  For collateral that has already defaulted, the Company assumed no recovery.  For collateral that was in deferral, the Company assumed a recovery of 10% of par for banks, thrifts or other depository institutions, and 15% of par for insurance companies.  Although the Company conservatively assumed that the majority of the deferring collateral continues to defer and eventually defaults, we also recognize there is a possibility that some deferring collateral may become current at some point in the future.

Pooled Trust Preferred Securities

 

At June 30, 2013, MutualFirst had an amortized cost in pooled trust preferred securities of $6.7 million, which had an original par value of $8.0 million.  These securities had a fair value of $3.0 million at June 30, 2013.  The following table provides additional information related to the Bank’s investment in trust preferred securities as of June 30, 2013:

(a) A 10% recovery is applied to all projected defaults.  A 15% recovery is applied to all projected insurance defaults.  No recovery is applied to current defaults.

(b) Excess subordination represents the additional defaults in excess of both current and projected defaults that the CDO can absorb before the bond experiences any credit impairment. Excess subordinated percentage is calculated by (a) determining what percentage of defaults a deal can experience before the bond has credit impairment, and (b) subtracting from this default breakage percentage both total current and expected future default percentages.

 

Credit Losses Recognized on Investments

 

Certain debt securities have experienced fair value deterioration due to credit losses, as well as due to other market factors, but are not otherwise other-than-temporarily impaired.

Note 6: Disclosures About Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities

 

FASB Codification Topic 820 (ASC 820), Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, 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.  ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

 

The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1  Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities  
Level 2 Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in 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

  

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

 

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies and inputs used for instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis and recognized in the accompanying balance sheets, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.

 

13
 

 

Available-for-Sale Securities

 

Where quoted market prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy.  The Company uses a third-party provider to provide market prices on its securities.  Level 1 securities include the marketable 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.  Level 2 securities include mortgage-backed, collateralized mortgage obligations, small business administration, marketable equity, municipal, federal agency and certain corporate obligation securities.  In certain cases where Level 1 or Level 2 inputs are not available, securities are classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy and include certain corporate obligation securities.

 

Third party vendors compile prices from various sources and may apply such techniques as matrix pricing to determine the value of identical or similar investment securities (Level 2). Matrix pricing is a mathematical technique widely used in the banking industry to value investment securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for specific investment securities but rather relying on investment securities relationship to other benchmark quoted investment securities. Any investment security not valued based upon the methods above are considered Level 3.

 

Fair value determinations for Level 3 measurements of securities are the responsibility of the Treasury function of the Company.  The Company contracts with a pricing specialist to generate fair value estimates on a monthly basis.  The Treasury function of the Company challenges the reasonableness of the assumptions used and reviews the methodology to ensure the estimated fair value complies with accounting standards generally accepted in the United States, analyzes the changes in fair value and compares these changes to internally developed expectations and monitors these changes for appropriateness.

 

The following table presents the fair value measurement of assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the level within the ASC 820 fair value hierarchy used for such fair value measurements:

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis

 

From time to time, certain assets may be recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis.  These non-recurring fair value adjustments typically are a result of the application of lower of cost or fair value accounting or a write-down occurring during the period.  The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for certain assets that are recorded at fair value.

 

Impaired Loans (Collateral Dependent)

 

Loans for which it is probable that Mutual 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 include using the fair value of the collateral for collateral dependent loans.

 

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 obtaining a current independent appraisal of the collateral and applying a discount factor to the 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.

 

15
 

 

Other Real Estate Owned

 

The fair value of real estate is generally determined based on appraisals by qualified licensed appraisers. The appraisers typically determine the value of the real estate by utilizing an income or market valuation approach. If an appraisal is not available, the fair value may be determined by using a cash flow analysis.

 

The estimated fair value of other real estate owned is based on current appraisal, less discount to reflect realizable value and estimated cost to sell.  Other real estate owned is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.  Appraisals of other real estate owned are obtained when the real estate is acquired and subsequently as deemed necessary by the asset classification committee.  The Risk Management division reviews the appraisals for accuracy and consistency.  Appraisals are selected from the list of approved appraisers maintained by the Board.  The reductions in fair value of other real estate owned was $46,000 and $413,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The changes were recorded as adjustments to current earnings through other real estate owned related expenses.

 

Mortgage Servicing Rights

 

We initially measure our mortgage servicing rights at fair value, and amortize them over the period of estimated net servicing income. They are periodically assessed for impairment based on fair value at the reporting date. Mortgage-servicing rights do not trade in an active market with readily observable prices. Accordingly, the fair value is estimated based on a valuation model which calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income. The model incorporates assumptions that market participants use in estimating future net servicing income, including estimates of prepayment speeds, market discount rates, cost to service, float earnings rates and other ancillary income, including late fees. The fair value measurements are classified as Level 3.

 

The following table presents the fair value measurement of assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and the level within the ASC 820 fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements fall:

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments listed above:

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents - The fair value of cash and cash equivalents approximates carrying value.

 

Loans Held For Sale - Fair values are based on current investor purchase commitments.

 

Loans - The fair value for loans is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality.

 

FHLB Stock - Fair value of FHLB stock is based on the price at which it may be resold to the FHLB.

 

Interest Receivable/Payable - The fair values of interest receivable/payable approximate carrying values.

 

18
 

 

Deposits - The fair values of noninterest-bearing, interest-bearing demand and savings accounts are equal to the amount payable on demand at the balance sheet date.  Fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on such time deposits.

 

Federal Home Loan Bank Advances - The fair value of these borrowings are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation, based on current rates for similar debt for periods comparable to the remaining terms to maturity of these advances.

 

Other Borrowings - The fair value of other borrowings are estimated using a discount calculation based on current rates.

 

Advances by Borrowers for Taxes and Insurance - The fair value approximates carrying value.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Commitments - Commitments include commitments to purchase and originate mortgage loans, commitments to sell mortgage loans, and standby letters of credit and are generally of a short-term nature.  The fair values of such commitments are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing.  The fair value of commitments is immaterial.

The risk characteristics of each loan portfolio segment are as follows:

 

Commercial

 

Commercial real estate

 

These loans are viewed primarily as cash flow loans and secondarily as loans secured by real estate. Commercial real estate lending typically involves higher loan principal amounts and the repayment of these loans is generally dependent on the successful operation of the property securing the loan or the business conducted on the property securing the loan. Commercial real estate loans may be more adversely affected by conditions in the real estate markets or in the general economy. The properties securing the Company’s commercial real estate portfolio are diverse in terms of type and geographic location. Management monitors and evaluates commercial real estate loans based on collateral, geography and risk grade criteria. As a general rule, the Company avoids financing single purpose projects unless other underwriting factors are present to help mitigate risk. In addition, management tracks the level of owner-occupied commercial real estate loans versus non-owner occupied loans.

 

Construction and Development

 

Construction loans are underwritten utilizing feasibility studies, independent appraisal reviews, sensitivity analyses of absorption and lease rates and financial analyses of the developers and property owners. Construction loans are generally based on estimates of costs and value associated with the complete project. These estimates may be inaccurate. Construction loans often involve the disbursement of substantial funds with repayment substantially dependent on the success of the ultimate project. Sources of repayment for these types of loans may be pre-committed permanent loans from approved long-term lenders, sales of developed property or an interim loan commitment from the Company until permanent financing is obtained. These loans are closely monitored by on-site inspections and are considered to have higher risks than other real estate loans due to their ultimate repayment being sensitive to interest rate changes, governmental regulation of real property, general economic conditions and the availability of long-term financing.

 

20
 

 

Commercial other

 

Commercial loans are primarily based on the identified cash flows of the borrower and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided by the borrower. The cash flows of borrowers, however, may not be as expected and the collateral securing these loans may fluctuate in value. Most commercial loans are secured by the assets being financed or other business assets such as accounts receivable or inventory and may incorporate a personal guarantee; however, some short-term loans may be made on an unsecured basis. In the case of loans secured by accounts receivable, the availability of funds for the repayment of these loans may be substantially dependent on the ability of the borrower to collect amounts due from its customers.

 

Mortgage and Consumer

 

With respect to residential loans that are secured by 1-4 family residences and are primarily owner occupied, the Company generally establishes a maximum loan-to-value ratio and requires PMI if that ratio is exceeded. Home equity loans are typically secured by a subordinate interest in 1-4 family residences, and consumer loans are secured by consumer assets such as automobiles or recreational vehicles. Some consumer loans are unsecured such as small installment loans and certain lines of credit. Repayment of these loans is primarily dependent on the personal income of the borrowers, which can be impacted by economic conditions in their market areas such as unemployment levels. Repayment can also be impacted by changes in property values on residential properties. Risk is mitigated by the fact that the loans are of smaller individual amounts and spread over a large number of borrowers.

 

Nonaccrual Loan and Past Due Loans

 

Loans are considered past due if the required principal and interest payments have not been received as of the date such payments were due.  The accrual of interest on mortgage and commercial loans is discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days past due unless the credit is well-secured and in process of collection.  Past due status is based on contractual terms of the loan.  In all cases, loans are placed on nonaccrual or charged off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful.

 

All interest accrued but not collected for loans that are placed on nonaccrual or charged off are reversed against interest income.  The interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual.  Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

 

Non-accrual loans, segregated by class of loans, as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 are as follows:

Impaired Loans 

 

Loans are considered impaired in accordance with the impairment accounting guidance (ASC 310-10-35-16), when based on current information and events, it is probable the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due from the borrower in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan.  Impaired loans include nonperforming commercial loans but also include loans modified in troubled debt restructurings where concessions have been granted to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties.  These concessions could include a reduction in the interest rate on the loan, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance or other actions intended to maximize collection.

 

22
 

 

Loans are individually evaluated for impairment based on internal limits outlined in our lending policies. The current threshold for these evaluations is set at $250,000. Although all troubled debt restructurings are considered impaired loans they are not necessarily individually evaluated for impairment based on the guidelines noted previously.

 

Interest on impaired loans is recorded based on the performance of the loan.  All interest received on impaired loans that are on nonaccrual is accounted for on the cash-basis method until qualifying for return to accrual.  Interest is accrued per contract for impaired loans that are performing.

 

The following tables present impaired loans for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 and the year ended December 31, 2012.

Commercial Loan Grades

 

Definition of Loan Grades.  Loan grades are numbered 1 through 8.  Grades 1-4 are "pass" credits, grade 5 [Special Mention] loans are "criticized" assets, and grades 6 [Substandard], 7 [Doubtful] and 8 [Loss] are "classified" assets.  The use and application of these grades by the Bank are uniform and conform to the Bank's policy and regulatory definitions.

 

Pass.  Pass credits are loans in grades prime through fair.  These are at least considered to be credits with acceptable risks and would be granted in the normal course of lending operations.

 

Special Mention.  Special mention credits have potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention.  If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the credits or in the Bank’s credit position at some future date.  If weaknesses cannot be identified, classifying as special mention is not appropriate.  Special mention credits are not adversely classified and do not expose the Bank to sufficient risk to warrant an adverse classification.  No apparent loss of principal or interest is expected.

 

Substandard.  Credits which are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or by the collateral pledged.  Financial statements normally reveal some or all of the following:  poor trends, lack of earnings and cash flow, excessive debt, lack of liquidity, and the absence of creditor protection.  Credits so classified must have a well-defined weakness, or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt.  They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

 

Doubtful.  An  extension of credit “doubtful” has all the weaknesses inherent in one classified substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.  The possibility of loss is extremely high, but because of certain important and reasonably specific pending factors that may work to the advantage and strengthening of the asset, its classification as an estimated loss is deferred until its more exact status may be determined.  Pending factors include proposed merger, acquisition, or liquidation procedures, capital injection, perfecting liens on additional collateral, and refinancing plans.  A Doubtful classification for an entire credit should be avoided when collection of a specific portion appears highly probable with the adequately secured portion graded Substandard.  

 

Retail Loan Grades

 

Pass.  Pass credits are loans that are currently performing as agreed and are not troubled debt restructurings.

 

Substandard.  Substandard credits are loans that have reason to be considered to have a well defined weakness and placed on non-accrual.  This would include all retail loans over 90 days and troubled debt restructurings which were delinquent at the time of modification.

Allowance for Loan Losses.

 

We maintain an allowance for loan losses to absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The allowance is based on ongoing, quarterly assessments of the estimated losses inherent in the loan portfolio.  Our methodology for assessing the appropriateness of the allowance consists of several key elements, including the general allowance and specific allowances for identified problem loans and portfolio segments.  In addition, the allowance incorporates the results of measuring impaired loans as provided in FASB ASC 310, Receivables.  These accounting standards prescribe the measurement methods, income recognition and disclosures related to impaired loans. The general allowance is calculated by applying loss factors to outstanding loans based on the internal risk evaluation of such loans or pools of loans. Changes in risk evaluations of both performing and nonperforming loans affect the amount of the general allowance. Loss factors are based on our historical loss experience as well as on significant factors that, in management’s judgment, affect the collectability of the portfolio as of the evaluation date.

 

The appropriateness of the allowance is reviewed by management based upon its evaluation of then-existing economic and business conditions affecting our key lending areas and other conditions, such as credit quality trends (including trends in non-performing loans expected to result from existing conditions), collateral values, loan volumes and concentrations, specific industry conditions within portfolio segments and recent loss experience in particular segments of the portfolio that existed as of the balance sheet date and the impact that such conditions were believed to have had on the collectability of the loan.  Senior management reviews these conditions quarterly in discussions with our senior credit officers.  To the extent that any of these conditions is evidenced by a specifically identifiable problem credit or portfolio segment as of the evaluation date, management’s estimate of the effect of such condition may be reflected as a specific allowance applicable to such credit or portfolio segment.  Where any of these conditions is not evidenced by a specifically identifiable problem credit or portfolio segment as of the evaluation date, management’s evaluation of the loss related to this condition is reflected in the general allowance for loan losses.  The evaluation of the inherent loss with respect to these conditions is subject to a higher degree of uncertainty because they are not identified with specific problem credits or portfolio segments.

 

The allowance for loan losses is based on estimates of losses inherent in the loan portfolio.  Actual losses can vary significantly from the estimated amounts.  Our methodology as described permits adjustments to any loss factor used in the computation of the general allowance in the event that, in management’s judgment, significant factors which affect the collectability of the portfolio as of the evaluation date are not reflected in the loss factors.  By assessing the probable incurred losses inherent in the loan portfolio on a quarterly basis, we are able to adjust specific and inherent loss estimates based upon any more recent information that has become available.  Due to the loss of numerous manufacturing jobs in the communities we serve during recent years and the increase in higher risk loans, like consumer and commercial loans, as a percentage of total loans, management has concluded that our allowance for loan losses should be greater than historical loss experience and specifically identified losses would otherwise indicate.

 

The following table details activity in the allowance for loan losses by portfolio segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 and year ended December 31, 2012.  Allocation of a portion of the allowance to one category of loans does not preclude its availability to absorb losses in other segments.

Management’s general practice is to proactively charge down loans individually evaluated for impairment to the fair value of the underlying collateral.

 

For all loan portfolio segments except 1-4 family residential properties and consumer, the Company promptly charges-off loans, or portions thereof, when available information confirms that specific loans are uncollectible based on information that includes, but is not limited to, (1) the deteriorating financial condition of the borrower, (2) declining collateral values, and/or (3) legal action, including bankruptcy, that impairs the borrower’s ability to adequately meet its obligations. For impaired loans that are considered to be solely collateral dependent, a partial charge-off is recorded when a loss has been confirmed by an updated appraisal or other appropriate valuation of the collateral.

 

29
 

 

The Company charges-off 1-4 family residential and consumer loans, or portions thereof, when the Company reasonably determines the amount of the loss. The Company adheres to timeframes established by applicable regulatory guidance which provides for the charge-down of 1-4 family first and junior lien mortgages to the net realizable value less costs to sell when the loan is 180 days past due, charge-off of unsecured open-end loans when the loan is 180 days past due, and charge-down to the net realizable value when other secured loans are 120 days past due. Loans at these respective delinquency thresholds for which the Company can clearly document that the loan is both well-secured and in the process of collection, such that collection will occur regardless of delinquency status, need not be charged-off.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

 

Included in certain loan categories of impaired loans are loans that have been modified in a troubled debt restructuring, where economic concessions have been granted to borrowers who have experienced financial difficulties.  These concessions typically result from our loss mitigation activities and could include reductions in the interest rate, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance or other actions.  Modifications of terms for our loans and their inclusion as troubled debt restructurings are based on individual facts and circumstances.

 

When we modify loans in a troubled debt restructuring, we evaluate any possible impairment similar to other impaired loans based on the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the contractual interest rate of the original loan agreement, or use the current fair value of the collateral, less selling costs for collateral dependent loans. If we determined that the value of the modified loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan (net of previous charge-offs, deferred loan fees or costs and unamortized premium or discount), impairment is recognized through a specific reserve or a charge-off to the allowance.

 

Loans retain their accrual status at the time of their modification.  As a result, if a loan is on nonaccrual at the time it is modified, it stays as nonaccrual until a period of satisfactory performance, generally six months, is obtained.  If a loan is on accrual at the time of the modification, the loan is evaluated to determine the collection of principal and interest is reasonably assured and generally stays on accrual.

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

 

Overview and Significant Events in the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2013

 

The following should be read in conjunction with the Management’s Discussion and Analysis in Item 7 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, which was filed with the SEC on March 22, 2013.

 

The Company is a Maryland corporation and a bank holding company headquartered in Muncie, Indiana, with operations in Delaware, Elkhart, Grant, Kosciusko, Randolph, St. Joseph and Wabash counties in Indiana. It owns MutualBank, an Indiana commercial bank with 31 bank branches in Indiana, trust offices in Carmel and Crawfordsville, Indiana and a loan origination office in New Buffalo, Michigan. The Company is subject to regulation, supervision and examination by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (“FRB”), and the Bank is subject to regulation, supervision and examination by the Indiana Department of Financial Institutions and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

 

Our principal business consists of attracting retail deposits from the general public, including some brokered deposits, and investing those funds primarily in loans secured by first mortgages on owner-occupied, one- to four-family residences, a variety of consumer loans, loans secured by commercial and multi-family real estate and commercial business loans. Funds not invested in loans generally are invested in investment securities, including mortgage-backed and mortgage-related securities. We also obtain funds from FHLB advances and other borrowings.

 

Our results of operations depend primarily on the level of our net interest income, which is the difference between interest income on interest-earning assets, such as loans, mortgage-backed securities and investment securities, and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities, primarily deposits and borrowings. The structure of our interest-earning assets versus the structure of interest-bearing liabilities, along with the shape of the yield curve, has a direct impact on our net interest income. Historically, our interest-earning assets have been longer term in nature (i.e., fixed-rate mortgage loans) and interest-bearing liabilities have been shorter term (i.e., certificates of deposit, regular savings accounts, etc.). This structure would impact net interest income favorably in a decreasing rate environment, assuming a normally shaped yield curve, as the rates on interest-bearing liabilities would decrease more rapidly than rates on interest-earning assets. Conversely, in an increasing rate environment, assuming a normally shaped yield curve, net interest income would be impacted unfavorably as rates on interest-earning assets would increase at a slower rate than rates on interest-bearing liabilities.

 

Second Quarter Highlights. At June 30, 2013, we had $1.4 billion in assets, $958.6 million in loans and $131.2 million in stockholders’ equity. The Bank’s total risk-based capital ratio at June 30, 2013 was 14.88%, exceeding the 10.00% requirement for a well-capitalized institution. The ratio of tangible common equity was 7.65% as of June 30, 2013, a decrease from 7.62% at December 31, 2012 and remaining consistent compared to June 30, 2012. For the quarter ended June 30, 2013, net income available to common shareholders totaled $1.8 million, or $.26 per basic and $.25 per diluted share, compared with net income of $1.3 million available to common shareholders, or $.18 per basic and diluted share for the quarter ended June 30, 2012.

 

Key aspects of our operations in the second quarter of 2013 include the following:

 

·Redeemed $7.2 million of preferred stock held by the United States Treasury as part of the Small Business Lending Fund.
·Gross loan balances increased by $2.4 million in the second quarter of 2013.
·Deposits decreased $13.3 million in the second quarter of 2013.
·Asset quality continues to improve as non-performing loans to total loans were 1.94% as of June 30, 2013 compared to 2.54% as of March 31, 2013 and non-performing assets to total assets were 1.77% as of June 30, 2013 compared to 2.25% as of March 31, 2013.
·Classified loans decreased approximately 17% in the second quarter of 2013 and 24% since December 31, 2012.

 

34
 

 

·Foreclosed real estate decreased $833,000 compared to March 31, 2013 and $1.3 million compared to December 31, 2012.
·Net charge offs on an annualized basis were .34% in the second quarter 2013 compared to .41% in the first quarter of 2013.
·Tangible common equity to total assets is 7.65% and tangible book value per share is $15.14 as of June 30, 2013.
·Net interest margin was 3.10% for the second quarter 2013 compared to 3.07% in the first quarter 2013.

 

The Management’s Discussion and Analysis in Item 7 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, contains a summary of our management strategy. The financial highlights of our strategy during the quarter include: decreasing non-performing assets to total assets from 2.21% at year-end 2012 to 1.77% at the end of the quarter.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Note 1 to the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 contains a summary of MutualFirst ’s significant accounting policies. Certain of these policies are important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition, since they require management to make difficult, complex or subjective judgments, some of which may relate to matters that are inherently uncertain.  Management believes that its critical accounting policies include determining the allowance for loan losses, the valuation of foreclosed assets, mortgage servicing rights and intangible assets.

 

Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is a significant estimate that can and does change based on management’s assumptions about specific borrowers and current general economic and business conditions, among other factors.  Management reviews the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses on at least a quarterly basis.  The evaluation by management includes consideration of past loss experience, changes in the composition of the loan portfolio, the current condition and amount of loans outstanding, identified problem loans and the probability of collecting all amounts due.

 

The determination of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is based on estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant changes in the economic environment and market conditions.  A worsening or protracted economic decline would increase the likelihood of additional losses due to credit and market risk and could create the need for additional loss reserves.

 

Foreclosed Assets. Foreclosed assets are carried at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated selling costs.  Management estimates the fair value of the properties based on current appraisal information.  Fair value estimates are particularly susceptible to significant changes in the economic environment, market conditions, and real estate market.  A worsening or protracted economic decline would increase the likelihood of a decline in property values and could create the need to write down the properties through current operations.

 

Management recently reviewed the Bank’s processes for foreclosed properties and deemed they are in compliance with regulations and state laws.

 

Mortgage Servicing Rights. Mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) associated with loans originated and sold, where servicing is retained, are capitalized and included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheet.  The value of the capitalized servicing rights represents the fair value of the right to service loans in the portfolio.  Critical accounting policies for MSRs relate to the initial valuation and subsequent impairment tests.  The methodology used to determine the valuation of MSRs requires the development and use of a number of estimates, including anticipated principal amortization and prepayments of that principal balance.  Events that may significantly affect the estimates used are changes in interest rates, mortgage loan prepayment speeds and the payment performance of the underlying loans.  The carrying value of the MSRs is periodically reviewed for impairment based on a determination of fair value.  For purposes of measuring impairment, the servicing rights are compared to a valuation prepared based on a discounted cash flow methodology, utilizing current prepayment speeds and discount rates.  Impairment, if any, is recognized through a valuation allowance and is recorded as a reduction in loan servicing fee income.

 

35
 

 

Intangible Assets. The Company periodically assesses the potential impairment of its core deposit intangible.  If actual external conditions and future operating results differ from the Company’s judgments, impairment and/or increased amortization charges may be necessary to reduce the carrying value of these assets to the appropriate value.    

 

Securities. Under FASB Codification Topic 320 (ASC 320), Investments-Debt and Equity Securities, investment securities must be classified as held-to-maturity, available-for-sale or trading.  Management determines the appropriate classification at the time of purchase. The classification of securities is significant since it directly impacts the accounting for unrealized gains and losses on securities. Debt securities are classified as held-to-maturity and carried at amortized cost when management has the positive intent and the Company has the ability to hold the securities to maturity. Securities not classified as held-to-maturity are classified as available-for-sale and are carried at fair value, with the unrealized holding gains and losses, net of tax, reported in other comprehensive income.

 

The fair values of the Company’s securities are generally determined by reference to quoted prices from reliable independent sources utilizing observable inputs. Certain of the Company’s fair values of securities are determined using models whose significant value drivers or assumptions are unobservable and are significant to the fair value of the securities. These models are utilized when quoted prices are not available for certain securities or in markets where trading activity has slowed or ceased. When quoted prices are not available and are not provided by third party pricing services, management judgment is necessary to determine fair value. As such, fair value is determined using discounted cash flow analysis models, incorporating default rates, estimation of prepayment characteristics and implied volatilities.

 

The Company evaluates securities on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic conditions warrant additional evaluations, to determine if an other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) exists pursuant to guidelines established in ASC 320.  In evaluating the possible impairment of securities, consideration is given to the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, the financial conditions and near-term prospects of the issuer, and the ability and intent of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.  In analyzing an issuer’s financial condition, the Company may consider whether the securities are issued by the federal government or its agencies or government sponsored agencies, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred, and the results of reviews of the issuer’s financial condition.

 

If management determines that an investment experienced an OTTI, management must then determine the amount of the OTTI to be recognized in earnings.  For investments in debt securities, if management does not intend to sell the security and it is more likely than not that the Company will not be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current period loss, the OTTI will be separated into the amount representing the credit loss and the amount related to all other factors.  The amount of OTTI related to the credit loss is determined based on the present value of cash flows expected to be collected and is recognized in earnings.  The amount of the OTTI related to other factors will be recognized in other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes.  The previous amortized cost basis less the OTTI recognized in earnings will become the new amortized cost basis of the investment.  If management intends to sell the security or more likely than not will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current period credit loss, the OTTI will be recognized in earnings equal to the entire difference between the investment’s amortized cost basis and its fair value at the balance sheet date.  Any recoveries related to the value of these securities are recorded as an unrealized gain (as other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity) and not recognized in income until the security is ultimately sold.

 

For our investment in marketable equity securities, management evaluates the severity and duration of the impairment and the near term prospects of the issuer in our consideration of whether the securities are other than temporarily impaired.  Based upon that evaluation the Company does not consider our equity securities to be other than temporarily impaired.  If other than temporary impairment is identified, that impairment is recognized in earnings.

 

The Company from time to time may dispose of an impaired security in response to asset/liability management decisions, future market movements, business plan changes, or if the net proceeds can be reinvested at a rate of return that is expected to recover the loss within a reasonable period of time.

Income Tax Accounting

 

We file a consolidated federal income tax return.  The provision for income taxes is based upon income in our consolidated financial statements, rather than amounts reported on our income tax return.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The effect of a change in tax rates on our deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized as income or expense in the period that includes the enactment date.

Financial Condition

 

General. Total assets at June 30, 2013 were $1.4 billion a decrease of $14.2 million since December 31, 2012, primarily as a result of a 1.1% decrease in gross loans, excluding loans held for sale. The decrease in the gross loan portfolio was primarily due to a decline in one-to four- family mortgage loans of $12.2 million and a decline in our commercial portfolio of $2.0 million, partially offset by an increase in consumer loans of $1.7 million. Average interest-earning assets decreased $35.5 million or 2.7% to $1.30 billion at June 30, 2013 from $1.33 billion at December 31, 2012, reflecting a decrease in average investments. Average interest-bearing liabilities decreased by $46.9 million or 4.0% to $1.12 billion at June 30, 2013, from $1.17 billion at December 31, 2012, reflecting a decrease in average term deposits and borrowings. Stockholders’ equity increased by $8.3 million or 6.0% during the six months ended June 30, 2013.

 

Loans. Our gross loan portfolio, excluding loans held for sale, decreased $12.5 million or 1.3% to $978.1 million at June 30, 2013 from $990.6 million at December 31, 2012.

 

The following table reflects the changes in the gross amount of loans, excluding loans held for sale, by type during the quarter:

Although the Bank has an overall strategy to increase commercial and consumer loans, the strategy has been hindered by depressed economic conditions in Indiana as a result of the recent recession. Due to increased unemployment and decreased real estate values, loan demand, especially for business loans, has remained sluggish. We are seeking opportunities to refinance sound commercial borrowers from other financial institutions. Although there has been a decrease in gross loans since year-end December 31, 2012, we have seen growth in consumer lending during the second quarter 2013 as consumer loans increased by $3.8 million, which was partially offset by a decline in commercial loans of $500,000. The Bank often sells 30-year and 15-year fixed-rate mortgage loans which helps reduce risk. This has also contributed to the reduction in our residential mortgage loan portfolio.

 

Delinquencies and Non-performing Assets. As of June 30, 2013, our total loans delinquent 30-to-89 days were $15.1 million or 1.5% of total loans compared to $22.2 million or 2.2% at December 31, 2012.

 

At June 30, 2013, our non-performing assets totaled $24.9 million or 1.77% of total assets, compared to $31.4 million or 2.21% of total assets at December 31, 2012. This $6.4 million, or 20.5% decrease was the result of a decrease of non-performing mortgage and consumer loans. The table below sets forth the amounts and categories of non-performing assets in our loan portfolio at the dates indicated.

The Bank is diligently monitoring and writing down loans that appear to have irreversible weakness. In addition to the decrease in total non-performing assets, the Company has seen significant recent improvement in total classified assets. Total classified assets decreased 23.9% from $56.4 million at December 31, 2012 to $42.9 million at June 30, 2013. The Bank works to ensure possible problem loans have been identified and steps have been taken to reduce loss by restructuring loans to improve cash flow or by increasing collateral, when necessary.

  

At June 30, 2013, foreclosed commercial real estate totaled $1.3 million and consisted of 8 commercial buildings in our existing lending footprint. In addition, 32 residential properties with a book value of $4.3 million remained as foreclosed assets at June 30, 2013. Of the total foreclosed assets, one property held in real estate owned totaled $2.4 million. At June 30, 2013, the Bank had $456,000 in other repossessed assets. During the first half of 2013, non-accruing loans decreased by $4.8 million. Management continues to monitor these loans aggressively and it is management’s opinion that the non-accruing loans are sufficiently reserved as of June 30, 2013.

Allowance For Loan Loss. Allowance for loan losses decreased $302,000 to $15.7 million at June 30, 2013 when compared to June 30, 2012 as reflected below.

Allowance as a percentage of total loans (end of period)   1.61%   1.68%

 

Net charge offs for the six months ended June 30, 2013 were $1.8 million, or 0.37% of average loans on an annualized basis, compared to $4.0 million, or 0.76% of average loans for the same period of 2012. The decrease was due to what management believes is a stabilization of the loan portfolio. As of June 30, 2013, the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans receivable and non-performing loans was 1.61% and 83.15%, respectively, compared to 1.63% and 67.72% respectively, at December 31, 2012. Allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans receivable decreased due to a decrease in the allowance for loan loss of $302,000 since year-end. Allowance for loan losses as a percentage of non-performing loans increased due to the decrease in non-performing loans of $4.8 million in the first six months of 2013.

 

Deposits. Total deposits decreased $29.6 million in the first half of 2013. The decrease in deposits has been primarily in certificates of deposit which decreased $28.0 million while core transactional deposits decreased $1.6 million in the first half of 2013. Core transactional deposits increased to 52% of the Bank’s total deposits as of June 30, 2013 compared to 51% as of December 31, 2012.

Borrowings. Total borrowings increased $21.7 million, or 25.2%, to $108.0 million at June 30, 2013 primarily due to a $22.1 million increase in FHLB advances to $96.7 million at the end of the quarter. The increase in advances was necessary to meet current loan demand. Other borrowings, consisting of a bank loan and a subordinated debenture, decreased $358,000 to $11.6 million at June 30, 2013 due to regular loan payments.

 

On January 4, 2013, the Company refinanced the $7.6 million term loan with First Tennessee Bank, N.A.. The loan bears a 3.915% fixed interest rate, has a term expiring in December 2017 and is secured by Bank stock. The balance of that loan was $7.2 million at June 30, 2013.

 

The Company assumed $5.0 million in debentures as the result of an acquisition of MFB Corp. in 2008. In 2005, MFB Corp. had formed MFBC Statutory Trust (MFBC), as a wholly owned business trust, to sell trust preferred securities. The proceeds from the sale of these trust preferred securities were used by the trust to purchase an equivalent amount of subordinated debentures from the acquired company. The junior subordinated debentures are the sole assets of MFBC and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company. The junior subordinated debentures and the trust preferred securities pay interest and dividends, respectively, on a quarterly basis. The securities bore a fixed rate of interest of 6.22% for the first five years, and the rate resets quarterly at the prevailing three-month LIBOR rate plus 170 basis points. In 2009, the Company entered into a forward interest rate swap that fixed the variable rate portion for five years at 5.15%. The Company may redeem the trust preferred securities, in whole or in part, without penalty, on or after September 15, 2010. These securities mature on September 15, 2035. The net balance of the note as of June 30, 2013 was $4.0 million due to the fair value adjustment of the note made at the time of the acquisition.

 

Stockholders’ Equity. Stockholders’ equity was $131.2 million at June 30, 2013, a decrease of $8.3 million from December 31, 2012. The decrease was due primarily to redemption of $7.2 million of preferred stock held by the United States Treasury as part of the Small Business Lending Fund, a decline in other comprehensive income of $4.3 million primarily due to changes in market rates and a reduction in unrealized gains on the investment portfolio. Other declines resulted from dividend payments of $849,000 to common shareholders and $633,000 to preferred shareholders. These declines were partially offset by net income of $4.1 million. The Company’s tangible book value per share as of June 30, 2013 decreased to $15.14 compared to $15.33 as of December 31, 2012 and its tangible common equity ratio increased to 7.65% as of June 30, 2013 compared to 7.62% as of December 31, 2012. MFSF and the Bank’s risk-based capital ratios were well in excess of “well-capitalized” levels as defined by all regulatory standards as of June 30, 2013.

 

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2013 and 2012

 

General. Net income available to common shareholders for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was $1.8 million or $0.26 per basic and $0.25 per diluted earnings per common share compared to net income of $1.3 million or $0.18 basic and diluted earnings per common share for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The primary reasons for this increase was an increase in net servicing fees of $456,000 due to a recovery of the valuation allowance on mortgage servicing rights as we have continued to see an increase in market rates and a reduction in the provision for loan loss of $1.3 million compared to the same period last year. Annualized return on assets was 0.60% and return on average tangible common equity was 6.59% for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 compared to 0.45% and 4.97% respectively, for the same period last year.

Interest Income. Total interest income decreased $1.2 million, or 8.7%, to $12.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2013 from $14.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2012. Although the net interest margin was consistent at June 30, 2013 and 2012 at 3.10%, the decline in the total interest income was due to a decrease in average earning assets of $44.5 million. Interest income on loans in the second quarter of 2013 was $11.0 million compared to $11.6 million for same period in 2012, reflecting a 36 basis point decrease in the weighted average yield on loans for the three months ended June 30, 2013 to 4.53%. Interest income on investment securities for the second quarter 2013 was $1.8 million compared to $2.5 million for the same period in 2012, reflecting a $66.7 million decrease in our average investment securities portfolio to $277.1 million as of June 30, 2013. Average investments decreased during this time period in part due to the sale of investments to prepay Federal Home Loan Bank advances in the fourth quarter of 2012.

 

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $893,000, or 23.8%, to $2.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $3.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2012. The primary reason for this decrease was a decline of 25 basis points in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities from 1.27% in the 2012 period to 1.03% in the 2013 period, which was primarily due to continued re-pricing of deposit accounts and reduction of higher rate FHLB advances. Interest expense on deposits decreased $546,000, due to a 17 basis point decline in average rates. Interest expense on borrowings decreased $347,000 as a result of a 77 basis point decline in average rates.

 

Net Interest Income. Net interest income before the provision for loan losses decreased $330,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012. The decrease was a result of a $44.5 million decline in average earning assets, while the net interest margin remained at 3.10%. The decline in average earning assets was primarily due to a decline of $71.2 million in the investment portfolio, partially offset by a $22.2 million increase in the loan portfolio. On a linked quarter basis, net interest income before the provision for loan losses increased $42,000 as net interest margin increased by 3 basis points, partially offset by a decline of $9.6 million in average earning assets. For more information on our asset/liability management, especially as it relates to interest rate risk, see Item 7A - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2012.

 

Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses for the second quarter of 2013 decreased to $550,000 compared to $1.9 million during last year’s comparable period. The decrease was due to management’s ongoing evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, which was partially attributable to decreased net charge offs of $840,000, or .34% of loans on an annualized basis in the second quarter of 2013 compared to charge offs of $2.5 million, or 1.04% of loans on an annualized basis in the second quarter of 2012. Non-performing loans to total loans at June 30, 2013 was 1.94% compared to 2.61% at June 30, 2012. Non-performing assets to total assets were 1.77% at June 30, 2013 compared to 2.23% at June 30, 2012.

 

Other Income. Other (non-interest) income decreased by $245,000 to $3.5 million in the second quarter of 2013 compared to $3.7 million in the same period in 2012.

Total Non-Interest Income  $3,460   $3,705   $(245)   (6.6)%

 

Decreases in non-interest income include declines in service fee income on deposit accounts which is primarily due to declining overdraft income, and in net gain on sale of investments due to decreased sale activity. Gain on loan sales declined primarily due to loans held for sale at quarter end being valued for less than par as market rates increased late in the quarter. This decline was offset by a recovery of the valuation in mortgage servicing rights of $456,000 due to the increase in market rates. An increase in gain on sale of other real estate and repossessed assets also offset declines in non-interest income for the quarter as activity on foreclosed assets has continued to be strong and current real estate values are improving. On a linked quarter basis, non-interest income decreased $179,000, primarily due to decreased gain on sale of investments, service charge income and gain on loan sales, partially offset by increased commission income and servicing gain on serviced mortgage loans.

Other Expense. Other (non-interest) expense decreased by $31,000 to $9.90 million in the second quarter of 2013 compared to $9.93 million in the same period in 2012.

Total Non-Interest Expense  $9,902   $9,933   $(31)   (0.3)%

 

Professional fees and real estate expenses have declined as asset quality continues to improve. Other declines in expenses were related to software subscriptions and maintenance and core deposit intangible amortization. These declines were mainly offset by an increase in salaries and benefits primarily due to increased benefit expense and in marketing expense. On a linked quarter basis, non-interest expense decreased $11,000 primarily due to decreased occupancy and equipment expense of $140,000 and software subscriptions and maintenance of $58,000, partially offset by increases in marketing of $169,000.

 

Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 increased $288,000 compared to the same period in 2012 because of increased earnings. The Company’s effective tax rate increased to 30.3% in the 2013 period from 27.6% in the 2012 period because of increased net income and decreased low income housing credits as a percentage of net income.

 

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2013 and 2012

 

General. Net income available to common stockholders for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $3.4 million or $0.49 basic and $0.48 diluted earnings per common share compared to net income of $2.3 million or $0.34 basic and $0.33 diluted earnings per common share for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The primary reason for this increase was a decrease in provision for loan loss due to stabilization of the loan portfolio. Our return on assets and on average tangible equity on an annualized basis were 0.58% and 6.27%, respectively in the 2013 period compared to 0.43% and 4.58% in the 2012 period.

 

Interest Income. Total interest income decreased $2.2 million, or 7.9%, to $25.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2013 from $28.0 million during the same period ended June 30, 2012, reflecting the decrease in our average yield on interest-earning assets by 26 basis points to 3.98% at June 30, 2013 compared to 4.24% at June 30, 2012 as national and local prevailing interest rates continued to decline and the mix of interest-earning assets shifted towards lower yielding investment securities. During the period, average earning assets have declined by $23.9 million. Interest income on loans in the first half of 2013 was $22.1 million compared to $23.2 million for same period in 2012, reflecting a 46 basis point decrease in the weighted average yield on loans for the six months ended June 30, 2013 to 4.50%. Interest income on investment securities for the first half of 2013 was $3.7 million compared to $4.8 million for the same period in 2012, reflecting a $67.2 million decrease in our average investment securities portfolio and a 77 basis point decrease in the weighted average yield on investments for the period.

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $2.0 million, or 25.7%, to $5.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $7.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2012. The primary reason for this decrease was a decline of 31 basis points on interest-bearing liabilities from 1.34% in 2012 to 1.03% in 2013, which was primarily due to continued re-pricing of deposit accounts and reduction of higher rate FHLB advances. Interest expense on deposits decreased $1.3 million, due to a 22 basis point decline in average rates. Interest expense on borrowings decreased $737,000 as a result of a 102 basis point decline in average rates and a $17.9 million decrease in average borrowings in the first half of 2013, as excess cash from deposits and proceeds from loan repayments was used to pay off maturing FHLB advances.

 

Net Interest Income. Net interest income before the provision for loan losses decreased $220,000 for the first half of 2013 compared to the same period in 2012. The decrease was a result of a $23.9 million decline in average earnings assets, partially offset by the net interest margin increasing from 3.06% in the first half of 2012 to 3.08% in the first half of 2013. For more information on our asset/liability management, especially as it relates to interest rate risk, see Item 7A - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2012

 

Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses for the first half of 2013 decreased to $1.5 million compared to $3.2 million during last year’s comparable period. The decrease was primarily due to a decline in net charge offs and improving asset quality. Non-performing loans to total loans at June 30, 2013 were 1.94% compared to 2.40% at December 31, 2012. This decrease in non-performing loans was primarily in one-to four-family mortgage and commercial real estate loans. Non-performing assets to total assets were 1.77% at June 30, 2013 compared to 2.21% at December 31, 2012.

 

Other Income. Other (non-interest) income increased by $464,000 to $7.1 million in the first half of 2013 compared to $6.6 million in the same period in 2012.

 

   Six Months Ended   Amount   Percent 
Non-Interest Income  6/30/2013   6/30/2012   Change   Change

Total Non-Interest Income  $7,097   $6,633   $464    7.0%

  

The increase was primarily due to increased gains on sales of real estate owned and other repossessed assets and an increase in servicing fees on mortgage loans of $517,000 due to the recovery of the valuation allowance in mortgage servicing rights of $456,000 in the second quarter. These increases were offset by declines in service fee income on deposit accounts due to reasons mentioned above and in gain on sale of mortgage loans as the volume of loan sales has decreased compared to this period last year.

Other Expense. Other (non-interest) expense increased by $289,000 to $19.8 million in the first half of 2013 compared to $19.5 million in the same period in 2012.

 

   Six Months Ended   Amount   Percent

Total Non-Interest Expense  $19,815   $19,526   $289    1.5%

 

Non-interest expense increased primarily as a result of increases in salaries and benefits due to increased employee benefit costs and increases in occupancy and equipment expense due to a harsher winter in the first quarter of 2013. These increases were partially offset by reductions in professional fees, repossessed asset expense, intangible expense and software subscriptions and maintenance.

 

Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2013 increased $637,000 compared to the same period in 2012 because of increased net income. The Company’s effective tax rate increased to 29.3% in the 2013 period from 25.6% in the 2012 period because of increased net income and decreased low income housing credits as a percentage of net income.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Activities

 

In the normal course of operations, the Bank engages in a variety of financial transactions that are not recorded in our financial statements. These transactions involve varying degrees of off-balance sheet credit, interest rate and liquidity risks. These transactions are used primarily to manage customers’ requests for funding and take the form of loan commitments and lines of credit. We also have off-balance sheet obligations to repay borrowings and deposits. During the quarter ended June 30, 2013, we engaged in no off-balance sheet transactions likely to have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. At June 30, 2013, the Bank had $20.5 million in commitments to make loans, $8.9 million in undisbursed portions of closed loans, $130.5 million in unused lines of credit and $3.1 million in standby letters of credit.

 

Liquidity

 

Information about the Company’s liquidity needs and management is included in Item 7 of the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, filed with the SEC on March 22, 2013, under the heading “Liquidity.”

 

During the second quarter of 2013, our liquidity levels maintained fairly consistent with that of the prior quarter. We have seen an increase in loan demand. The Board of Directors requires the Bank to maintain a minimum liquidity ratio of 10% of deposits. At June 30, 2013, our ratio was 30.4%, which includes our investment portfolio.

 

At June 30, 2013, the Company on a consolidated basis, had $310.0 million in cash and investment securities available for sale and $8.3 million in loans held for sale generally available for its cash needs. At June 30, 2013, the Bank had the ability to borrow an additional $188.5 million in FHLB advances.

 

45
 

 

The Company is a separate legal entity from the Bank and must provide for its own liquidity. In addition to its own operating expenses (many of which are paid to the Bank), the Company is responsible for paying SBLF dividends to the Treasury, amounts owed on its trust preferred securities, any dividends declared to its common stockholders, and interest and principal on outstanding debt. The Company’s primary source of funds is Bank dividends, which are subject to regulatory limits. At June 30, 2013, the Company, on an unconsolidated basis, had $1.7 million in cash, interest-bearing deposits and liquid investments generally available for its cash needs.

 

At June 30, 2013, the approved outstanding loan commitments, including unused lines of credit, amounted to $163.0 million. Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in one year or less at June 30, 2013, totaled $241.9 million; however, due to our competitive rates, we believe that a majority of maturing deposits will remain with the Bank.

 

Except as set forth above, management is not aware of any trends, events, or uncertainties that will have, or that are reasonably likely to have a material impact on liquidity, capital resources or operations. Further, management is not aware of any current recommendations by regulatory agencies, which, if they were to be implemented, would have this effect.

 

Capital Resources

 

The Bank is subject to minimum capital requirements imposed by the FDIC. At June 30, 2013, the Bank’s regulatory capital exceeded these regulatory requirements, and the Bank was well-capitalized under regulatory prompt corrective action standards, consistent with our goals to operate a sound and profitable organization. The FDIC may require the Bank to have additional capital above specific regulatory levels if it believes the Bank is subject to increased risk due to asset problems, high interest rate risk and other risks. The FDIC has not required such additional capital.

 

At June 30, 2013, the Company’s capital levels exceeded the bank holding company capital requirements and it was considered well-capitalized under FRB guidelines, consistent with our goals to operate a sound and profitable organization. 

 

The Company’s and Bank’s relevant capital ratios at June 30, 2013, are reflected below:

Impact of Inflation

 

The effects of price changes and inflation can vary substantially for most financial institutions.  While management believes that inflation affects the economic value of total assets, it believes that it is difficult to assess the overall impact. Management believes this to be the case due to the fact that generally neither the timing nor the magnitude of changes in the consumer price index coincides with changes in interest rates or asset values.  For example, the price of one or more of the components of the consumer price index may fluctuate considerably, influencing composite consumer price index, without having a corresponding effect on interest rates, asset values, or the cost of those goods and services normally purchased by us.  In years of high inflation and high interest rates, intermediate and long-term interest rates tend to increase, adversely impacting the market values of investment securities, mortgage loans and other long-term fixed rate loans.  In addition, higher short-term interest rates tend to increase the cost of funds.  In other years, the opposite may occur.

 

Item 3 - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

Information about the Company’s asset and liability management and market and interest-rate risks is included in Item 7A of the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, filed with the SEC on March 22, 2013.

 

Asset and Liability Management and Market Risk

 

Our Risk When Interest Rates Change. The rates of interest we earn on assets and pay on liabilities generally is established contractually for a period of time. Market interest rates change over time. Accordingly, our results of operations, like those of other financial institutions, are impacted by changes in interest rates and the interest rate sensitivity of our assets and liabilities. The risk associated with changes in interest rates and our ability to adapt to these changes is known as interest rate risk and is one of our most significant market risks.

 

How We Measure Our Risk of Interest Rate Changes. As part of our attempt to manage our exposure to changes in interest rates and comply with applicable regulations, we monitor our interest rate risk. In monitoring interest rate risk, we continually analyze and manage assets and liabilities based on their payment streams and interest rates, the timing of their maturities, and their sensitivity to actual or potential changes in market interest rates. In order to minimize the potential for adverse effects of material and prolonged changes in interest rates on our results of operations, we adopted asset and liability management policies to better match the maturities and re-pricing terms of our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.

 

The Bank’s Board of Directors sets and recommends these asset and liability policies, which are implemented by the Asset and Liability Management Committee. The Asset and Liability Management Committee is chaired by the Chief Financial Officer and is comprised of members of our senior management team. The purpose of the Asset and Liability Management Committee is to communicate, coordinate and control asset/liability management issues consistent with our business plan and board-approved policies. This committee establishes and monitors the volume and mix of assets and funding sources taking into account relative costs and spreads, interest rate sensitivity and liquidity needs. The objectives are to manage assets and funding sources consistent with liquidity, capital adequacy, growth, risk and profitability goals. The Asset and Liability Management Committee generally meets monthly to review, among other things, economic conditions and interest rate outlook, current and projected liquidity needs and capital position, anticipated changes in the volume and mix of assets and liabilities and interest rate risk exposure limits versus current projections pursuant to a net present value of portfolio equity analysis and income simulations. At each meeting, the Asset and Liability Management Committee recommends appropriate strategy changes based on this review. The chief financial officer is responsible for reviewing and reporting on the effects of the policy implementations and strategies to the Board of Directors, at least quarterly.

 

In order to manage our assets and liabilities and achieve the desired liquidity, credit quality, interest rate risk, profitability and capital targets, we have sought to:

 

· Originate and purchase adjustable rate mortgage loans and commercial business loans,

 

· Originate shorter-duration consumer loans,

 

· Manage our deposits to establish stable deposit relationships,

 

47
 

 

· Acquire longer-term borrowings at fixed rates, when appropriate, to offset the negative impact of longer-term fixed rate loans in our loan portfolio, and

 

· Limit the percentage of long-term fixed-rate loans in our portfolio.

 

Depending on the level of general interest rates, the relationship between long and short-term interest rates, market conditions and competitive factors, the Asset and Liability Management Committee may increase our interest rate risk position somewhat in order to maintain our net interest margin. We will continue to increase our emphasis on the origination of relatively short-term and/or adjustable rate loans. In addition, in an effort to avoid an increase in the percentage of long-term fixed-rate loans in our portfolio, during the six months ended June 30, 2013, we sold in the secondary market $43.2 million of fixed rate, one- to four-family mortgage loans with a term to maturity of 15 years or more.

 

The following chart indicates the Bank’s percentage change in net income and capital assuming the most severe movement in interest rates as an immediate parallel rate shock in a range from down 100 basis points to up 400 basis points as of June 30, 2013.

 

Rate Shock  Net Interest
Income
(% Change)
   Capital
(% Change)
 
         
Up 400 bp   (37.1)%   (28.3)%
Up 300 bp   (26.8)   (24.0)
Up 200 bp   (17.1)   (15.2)
Up 100 bp   (8.1)   (6.6)
Down 100 bp   (4.9)   (10.6)

 

As with any method of measuring interest rate risk, certain shortcomings are inherent in the method of analysis presented in the chart. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods to repricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates. Also, the interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while interest rates on other types may lag behind changes in market rates. Additionally, certain assets, such as adjustable rate mortgage loans, have features which restrict changes in interest rates on a short-term basis and over the life of the asset. Further, if interest rates change, expected rates of prepayments on loans and early withdrawals from certificates could deviate significantly from those assumed in calculating the tables. Therefore, the Company also considers potential interest rate shocks that are not immediate parallel shocks in various rate scenarios. Management currently believes that interest rate risk is managed appropriately in more practical rate shock scenarios than those in the chart above.

 

Item - 4 Controls and Procedures.

 

An evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a -15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), as of June 30, 2013, was carried out under the supervision of and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and several other members of the Company’s senior management since that date. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2013, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management (including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer) in a timely manner, and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

 

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a - 15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2013 that have materially affected, or are likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

 

48
 

 

The Company does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and fraud.  A control procedure, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control procedure is met.  Because of the inherent limitations in all control procedures, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.  These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.  Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control.  The design of any control procedure also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.  Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control procedure, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

 

The Company intends to continually review and to evaluate the design and effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures and to improve its controls and procedures over time and to correct any deficiencies that it may discover in the future.  The goal is to ensure that senior management has timely access to all material financial and non-financial information concerning the Company’s business.  While the Company believes the present design of its disclosure controls and procedures is effective to achieve its goal, future events affecting its business may cause the Company to modify its disclosure controls and procedures.
