EXPLANATORY NOTE

Entegra Financial Corp., (“Entegra”) filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 as amended, (the “Registration Statement”), with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), which the SEC declared effective on June 30, 2014. A post-effective amendment to provide a recent development update was filed with the SEC on July 18, 2014 and declared effective by the SEC on August 8, 2014. The Form S-1 includes financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013 and the quarter ended March 31, 2014. Entegra is filing this Form 10-Q pursuant to Rule 13a-13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, in order to file financial statements for the quarter subsequent to the quarter reported upon in the Form S-1.

Entegra was incorporated on May 31, 2011, to serve as the stock holding company for Macon Bank, Inc., Franklin, North Carolina (“Macon Bank” or the “Bank”) upon completion of the conversion of the Bank’s mutual holding company, Macon Bancorp, Franklin, North Carolina (“Macon Bancorp” or “Bancorp”) from the mutual to stock form of organization. Under the plan of conversion, Bancorp will merge with and into Entegra and, in doing so, will convert from a mutual form of organization to a stock form of organization. Upon the completion of the conversion, Bancorp will cease to exist, and the Bank will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Entegra.

The conversion has not been completed, and, currently, Entegra has no assets or liabilities, and has not conducted any business other than that of an organizational nature. Therefore, the information presented in this report is on a consolidated basis for Bancorp.

MACON BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Organization

Macon Bancorp is the mutual holding company for Macon Bank, a state-chartered stock savings bank. Bancorp’s primary operation is its investment in the Bank. Bancorp also owns 100% of the common stock of Macon Capital Trust I, a Delaware statutory trust formed in 2003 to facilitate the issuance of trust preferred securities. The Bank has a wholly owned subsidiary, Macon Services, Inc., which owns an investment real estate property. The consolidated entity (Company) financials are presented in these financial statements.

The Bank operates as a community-focused retail bank, originating primarily real estate based mortgage, consumer and commercial loans and accepting deposits from consumers and small businesses.

Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change, in the near term, relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses and the valuation of real estate acquired in connection with foreclosures or in satisfaction of loans. In connection with the determination of the allowance for loan losses and the valuation of foreclosed real estate, management obtains independent appraisals for significant properties.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Bancorp, the Bank, and its wholly owned subsidiary. The accounts of Macon Capital Trust I are not consolidated with Bancorp. In consolidation all significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Reclassification

Certain amounts in the prior years’ financial statements may have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation. The reclassifications had no significant effect on our results of operations or financial condition as previously reported.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with our S-1 as amended, filed with the SEC on July 18, 2014. In the opinion of management, these interim financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, Macon Bancorp’s financial position and results of operations for each of the interim periods presented. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be expected for a full year or any future period.

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB” ) issued guidance to change the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers. The core principle of the new guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to reflect the transfer of goods and services to customers in an amount equal to the consideration the entity receives or expects to receive. The guidance will be effective for Bancorp for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Bancorp will apply the guidance using a full retrospective approach. Bancorp does not expect these amendments to have a material effect on its financial statements.

Other accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies are not expected to have a material impact on Bancorp’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Information pertaining to the number of securities with unrealized losses is detailed in the table below. Management of the Company believes all unrealized losses as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 represent temporary impairment. The unrealized losses have resulted from temporary changes in the interest rate market and not as a result of credit deterioration. We do not intend to sell and it is not likely that we will be required to sell any of the securities referenced in the table below before recovery of their amortized cost.

The Bank had $116.2 million and $107.1 million of loans pledged as collateral to secure funding with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (“FHLB”) at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The Bank also had $92.1 million and $97.7 million of loans pledged as collateral to secure funding with the Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”) Discount Window at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

During January 2014, the Bank purchased the remaining participation balance of certain commercial real estate loans from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The Company had previously originated the loans and sold a 50% participation to an institution that was subsequently taken into receivership by the FDIC. At the date of purchase the outstanding loan balance purchased was $9.3 million and the loans were purchased at a total discount of $2.6 million. Subsequent to the transaction, $2.8 million of the participation balance purchased was repaid, resulting in the Bank recognizing approximately $0.6 million of the initial discount, in addition to recognizing $0.3 million of previously collected but deferred interest. In addition, the Bank restructured a $1.8 million loan in the second quarter of 2014 and recognized $0.2 million of the discount in interest income.

The following tables present the activity related to the discount on purchased loans for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013:

Portfolio Quality Indicators

The Bank’s portfolio grading analysis estimates the capability of the borrower to repay the contractual obligations of the loan agreements as scheduled. The Bank’s internal credit risk grading system is based on experiences with similarly graded loans, industry best practices, and regulatory guidance. Credit risk grades are refreshed each quarter as they become available, at which time management analyzes the resulting information, as well as other external statistics and factors, to track loan performance.

 

18


Table of Contents

The Bank’s internally assigned grades pursuant to the Board-approved lending policy are as follows:

 

    Pass (1-5) – Acceptable loans with any identifiable weaknesses appropriately mitigated.

 

    Special Mention (6) – Potential weakness or identifiable weakness present without appropriate mitigating factors; however, loan continues to perform satisfactorily with no material delinquency noted. This may include some deterioration in repayment capacity and/or loan-to-value of securing collateral.

 

    Substandard (7) – Significant weakness that remains unmitigated, most likely due to diminished repayment capacity, serious delinquency, and/or marginal performance based upon restructured loan terms.

 

    Doubtful (8) – Significant weakness that remains unmitigated and collection in full is highly questionable or improbable.

 

    Loss (9) – Collectability is unlikely resulting in immediate charge-off.

Description of segment and class risks

Each of our portfolio segments and the classes within those segments are subject to risks that could have an adverse impact on the credit quality of our loan portfolio. Management has identified the most significant risks as described below which are generally similar among our segments and classes. While the list in not exhaustive, it provides a description of the risks that management has determined are the most significant.

One- to four family residential

We centrally underwrite each of our one-to four family residential loans using credit scoring and analytical tools consistent with the Board-approved lending policy and internal procedures based upon industry best practices and regulatory directives. Loans to be sold to secondary market investors must also adhere to investor guidelines. We also evaluate the value and marketability of that collateral. Common risks to each class of non-commercial loans, including one-to-four family residential, include risks that are not specific to individual transactions such as general economic conditions within our markets, particularly unemployment and potential declines in real estate values. Personal events such as death, disability or change in marital status also add risk to non-commercial loans.

Commercial real estate

Commercial mortgage loans are primarily dependent on the ability of our customers to achieve business results consistent with those projected at loan origination resulting in cash flow sufficient to service the debt. To the extent that a customer’s business results are significantly unfavorable versus the original projections, the ability for our loan to be serviced on a basis consistent with the contractual terms may be at risk. While these loans are secured by real property and possibly other business assets such as inventory or accounts receivable, it is possible that the liquidation of the collateral will not fully satisfy the obligation. Other commercial real estate loans consist primarily of loans secured by multifamily housing and agricultural loans. The primary risk associated with multifamily loans is the ability of the income-producing property that collateralizes the loan to produce adequate cash flow to service the debt. High unemployment or generally weak economic conditions may result in our customer having to provide rental rate concessions to achieve adequate occupancy rates. The performance of agricultural loans are highly dependent on favorable weather, reasonable costs for seed and fertilizer, and the ability to successfully market the product at a profitable margin. The demand for these products is also dependent on macroeconomic conditions that are beyond the control of the borrower.

Home equity and lines of credit

Home equity loans are often secured by second liens on residential real estate, thereby making such loans particularly susceptible to declining collateral values. A substantial decline in collateral value could render our second lien position to be effectively unsecured. Additional risks include lien perfection inaccuracies and disputes with first lienholders that may further weaken our collateral position. Further, the open-end structure of these loans creates the risk that customers may draw on the lines in excess of the collateral value if there have been significant declines since origination.

Table of Contents

Residential construction and other construction and land

Residential mortgage construction loans are typically secured by undeveloped or partially developed land with funds to be disbursed as home construction is completed contingent upon receipt and satisfactory review of invoices and inspections. Declines in real estate values can result in residential mortgage loan borrowers having debt levels in excess of the collateral’s current market value. Non-commercial construction and land development loans can experience delays in completion and/or cost overruns that exceed the borrower’s financial ability to complete the project. Cost overruns can result in foreclosure of partially completed collateral with unrealized value and diminished marketability. Commercial construction and land development loans are dependent on the supply and demand for commercial real estate in the markets we serve as well as the demand for newly constructed residential homes and building lots. Deterioration in demand could result in significant decreases in the underlying collateral values and make repayment of the outstanding loans more difficult for our customers.

Commercial

We centrally underwrite each of our commercial loans based primarily upon the customer’s ability to generate the required cash flow to service the debt in accordance with the contractual terms and conditions of the loan agreement. We strive to gain a complete understanding of our borrower’s businesses including the experience and background of the principals. To the extent that the loan is secured by collateral, which is a predominant feature of the majority of our commercial loans, or other assets including accounts receivable and inventory, we gain an understanding of the likely value of the collateral and what level of strength it brings to the loan transaction. To the extent that the principals or other parties are obligated under the note or guaranty agreements, we analyze the relative financial strength and liquidity of each guarantor. Common risks to each class of commercial loans include risks that are not specific to individual transactions such as general economic conditions within our markets, as well as risks that are specific to each transaction including volatility or seasonality of cash flows, changing demand for products and services, personal events such as death, disability or change in marital status, and reductions in the value of our collateral.

Consumer

The consumer loan portfolio includes loans secured by personal property such as automobiles, marketable securities, other titled recreational vehicles including boats and motorcycles, as well as unsecured consumer debt. The value of underlying collateral within this class is especially volatile due to potential rapid depreciation in values since date of loan origination in excess of principal repayment.

NOTE 8. JUNIOR SUBORDINATED DEBT

Bancorp issued $14.4 million of junior subordinated notes to its wholly owned subsidiary, Macon Capital Trust I (Trust), to fully and unconditionally guarantee the trust preferred securities issued by the Trust. These notes qualify as Tier I capital for Bancorp. The notes accrue and pay interest quarterly at a rate per annum, reset quarterly, equal to 90-day LIBOR plus 2.80% (3.03% at June 30, 2014). The notes mature on March 30, 2034.

Bancorp has the right to redeem the notes, in whole or in part, on or after March 30, 2009 at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, the Company may redeem the notes in whole (but not in part) upon the occurrence of a capital disqualification event, an investment company event, or a tax event at a specified redemption price as defined in the indenture.

Bancorp also may, at its option, defer the payment of interest on the notes for a period up to 20 consecutive quarters, provided that interest will also accrue on the deferred payments of interest. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, Bancorp has deferred payments of interest on the notes for 15 and 13 consecutive quarters in the aggregate amount of $1.7 million and $1.6 million, respectively.

NOTE 10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

To accommodate the financial needs of its customers, the Bank makes commitments under various terms to lend funds. These commitments include revolving credit agreements, term loan commitments and short-term borrowing agreements. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Bank evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness. The amount of collateral obtained, if it is deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held includes first and second mortgages on one-to-four family dwellings, accounts receivable, inventory, and commercial real estate. Certain lines of credit are unsecured.

The following summarizes the Bank’s approximate commitments to fund lines of credit at June 30, 2014:

   $ 574      
  

 

 

    

The allowance for unfunded commitments was $0.1 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

The Bank is exposed to loss as a result of its obligation for representations and warranties on loans sold to Fannie Mae and maintained a reserve of $0.3 million as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

In the normal course of business, Bancorp is periodically involved in litigation. In the opinion of Bancorp’s management, none of this litigation is expected to have a material adverse effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 11. FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES

We use fair value measurements when recording and disclosing certain financial assets and liabilities. Securities available-for-sale, mortgage servicing rights and mortgage derivatives are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, from time to time, we may be required to record other assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, such as loans held for sale, impaired loans and other real estate owned.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. An orderly transaction is a transaction that assumes exposure to the market for a period prior to the measurement date to allow for marketing activities that are usual and customary for transactions involving such assets or liabilities; it is not a forced transaction. In determining fair value, we use various valuation approaches, including market, income and cost approaches. The fair value standard establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability, which is developed, based on market data we have obtained from independent sources. Unobservable inputs reflect our estimate of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability, which are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). The fair value hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of inputs as follows:

 

    Level 1: valuation is based upon unadjusted quoted market prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.

 

    Level 2: valuation is based upon quoted market prices for similar instruments traded in active markets, quoted market prices for identical or similar instruments traded in markets that are not active and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by market data.

 

    Level 3: valuation is derived from other valuation methodologies, including discounted cash flow models and similar techniques that use significant assumptions not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in determining fair value.

 

32


Table of Contents

A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point of time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale the Company’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. Because no active market exists for a significant portion of the Company’s financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, current interest rates and prepayment trends, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in any of these assumptions used in calculating fair value also would affect significantly the estimates. In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in any of these estimates.

Following is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis:

Securities

We obtain fair values for debt securities from a third-party pricing service, which utilizes several sources for valuing fixed-income securities. The market evaluation sources for debt securities include observable inputs rather than significant unobservable inputs and are classified as Level 2. The service provider utilizes pricing models that vary by asset class and include available trade, bid and other market information. Generally, the methodologies include broker quotes, proprietary models, vast descriptive terms and conditions databases, as well as extensive quality control programs.

Included in securities is an investment in an exchange traded bond fund which is valued by reference to quoted market prices and considered a Level 1 security.

Loan Servicing Rights

Loan servicing rights are carried at fair value as determined by a third party valuation firm. The valuation model utilizes a discounted cash flow analysis using discount rates and prepayment speed assumptions used by market participants. The Bank classifies loan servicing right fair value measurements as Level 3.

Derivative Instruments

Derivative instruments include interest rate lock commitments and forward sale commitments. These instruments are valued based on the change in the value of the underlying loan between the commitment date and the end of the period. The Company classifies these instruments as Level 3.

Following is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis:

Loans Held for Sale

Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. The fair value of loans held for sale is based on what secondary markets are currently offering for portfolios with similar characteristics. Loans held for sale carried at fair value are classified as Level 2.

Impaired Loans

Impaired loans are carried at the lower of recorded investment or fair value. The fair value of impaired loans is estimated using either the value of the collateral (less selling costs if repayment is expected from liquidation of the collateral) or discounted cash flows. Appraisals may be discounted based on our historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of appraisal or our knowledge of the borrower and the borrower’s business. Impaired loans carried at fair value are classified as Level 3.

Real Estate Owned

Real estate owned obtained in partial or total satisfaction of a loan is recorded at the lower of recorded investment in the loan or fair value less cost to sell. Subsequent to foreclosure, these assets are carried at the lower of the amount recorded at acquisition date or fair value less cost to sell. Accordingly, it may be necessary to record nonrecurring fair value adjustments. Fair value, when recorded, is generally based upon appraisals by approved, independent, state certified appraisers. Like impaired loans, appraisals may be discounted based on our historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of appraisal or other information available to us. Real estate owned carried at fair value is classified as Level 3.

In addition to financial instruments recorded at fair value in our financial statements, fair value accounting guidance requires disclosure of the fair value of all of an entity’s assets and liabilities that are considered financial instruments. The majority of our assets and liabilities are considered financial instruments. Many of these instruments lack an available trading market as characterized by a willing buyer and willing seller engaged in an exchange transaction. Also, it is our general practice and intent to hold our financial instruments to maturity and to not engage in trading or sales activities. For fair value disclosure purposes, we substantially utilize the fair value measurement criteria as required and explained above. In cases where quoted fair values are not available, we use present value methods to determine the fair value of our financial instruments.

Following is a description of valuation methodologies used for the disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments not carried at fair value:

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The carrying amount of such instruments is deemed to be a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Loans

The fair value of variable rate performing loans is based on carrying values adjusted for credit risk. The fair value of fixed rate performing loans is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, utilizing interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms, adjusted for credit risk. The fair value of nonperforming loans is based on their carrying values less any specific reserve. A prepayment assumption is used to estimate the portion of loans that will be repaid prior to their scheduled maturity. No adjustment has been made for the illiquidity in the market for loans as there is no active market for many of the Company’s loans on which to reasonably base this estimate.

Bank Owned Life Insurance

Fair values approximate net cash surrender values.

FHLB Stock

No ready market exists for this stock and it has no quoted market value. However, redemption of this stock has historically been at par value. Accordingly, the carrying amount is deemed to be a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Deposits

The fair values disclosed for demand deposits are equal to the amounts payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of certificates of deposit are estimated by discounting the amounts payable at the certificate rates using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

Advances from the FHLB

The fair values disclosed for fixed rate long-term borrowings are determined by discounting their contractual cash flows using current interest rates for long-term borrowings of similar remaining maturities. The carrying amounts of variable rate long-term borrowings approximate their fair values.

Table of Contents

Junior Subordinated Notes

The carrying amount approximates fair value because the debt is variable rate tied to LIBOR .

Accrued Interest Receivable and Payable

Since these financial instruments will typically be received or paid within three months, the carrying amounts of such instruments are deemed to be a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Loan Commitments

Estimates of the fair value of these off-balance sheet items are not made because of the short-term nature of these arrangements and the credit standing of the counterparties.

NOTE 12. REGULATORY MATTERS

Bancorp and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by their respective federal and state banking regulators. Failure to satisfy minimum capital requirements may result in certain mandatory and additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on Bancorp’s consolidated financial statements. On April 21, 2014, the Bank entered into a memorandum of understanding (the “Memorandum of Understanding”) with the FDIC and the North Carolina Commissioner of Banks (“Commissioner,” and together with the FDIC, the “Bank Supervisory Authorities”), which replaced the consent order entered into in 2012 that was terminated in April 2014. In 2012, Bancorp entered into a written agreement (the “Written Agreement”) with the FRB. As part of the Memorandum of Understanding, the Bank Supervisory Authorities require the Bank to maintain a tier 1 leverage capital ratio of not less than 8.0%. At June 30, 2014, the Bank had a tier 1 leverage capital ratio of 7.16%. For additional information regarding the Memorandum of Understanding and the Written Agreement, see “Supervision and Regulation—Regulatory Agreements” on page 112 of the Registration Statement.

Table of Contents

Because the Bank does not satisfy the minimum 8.0% tier 1 leverage capital ratio required by the Memorandum of Understanding, the Bank may not accept, renew, or roll over brokered deposits, and is subject to restrictions on the rate of interest it may pay on deposits.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier I capital to average assets (as defined).

Following are the required and actual capital amounts and ratios for the Bank:

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Currently, Entegra has no assets or liabilities, and has not conducted any business other than that of an organizational nature. Therefore, the discussion presented herein is intended to provide an overview of the changes in financial condition and results of operations during the time periods required by Item 303 of Regulation S-K for Macon Bancorp and its wholly-owned subsidiary Macon Bank. As used herein, terms such as “we”, “our”, and “us” refer to Bancorp and the Bank, unless the context indicates another meaning.

The consolidated financial statements also include the accounts and results of operations of the Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiary. This discussion and analysis is intended to complement the unaudited financial statements, notes and supplemental financial data in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and should be read in conjunction therewith

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements, which can be identified by the use of words such as “estimate,” “project,” “believe,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “seek,” “expect,” “will,” “may” and words of similar meaning. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:

 

    statements of our goals, intentions and expectations;

 

    statements regarding our business plans, prospects, growth and operating strategies;

 

    statements regarding the asset quality of our loan and investment portfolios; and

 

    estimates of our risks and future costs and benefits.

These forward-looking statements are based on our current beliefs and expectations and are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control. In addition, these forward-looking statements are subject to assumptions with respect to future business strategies and decisions that are subject to change. Entegra and Bancorp are under no duty to and do not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statements after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements:

 

    our failure to comply with the terms of the Memorandum of Understanding and Written Agreement (the “Regulatory Agreements”);

 

    the effect of the requirements of the Regulatory Agreements to which we are subject and any further regulatory actions;

 

    our failure to secure the timely termination of the Regulatory Agreements;

 

    our failure to obtain regulatory approval to bring current and resume ongoing interest payments on our trust preferred securities prior to December 30, 2015;

 

    the occurrence of an ownership change under applicable tax rules that could limit our ability to utilize losses to offset future taxable income;

 

    general economic conditions, either nationally or in our market areas, that are worse than expected;

 

    credit quality deterioration which could cause an increase in the provision for credit losses;

 

    competition among depository and other financial institutions;

 

    inflation and changes in the interest rate environment that reduce our margins or reduce the fair value of financial instruments;

 

    adverse changes in the securities markets;

 

    changes in laws or government regulations or policies affecting financial institutions, including changes in regulatory fees and capital requirements;

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our critical accounting policies involving significant judgments and assumptions used in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements as of June 30, 2014 have remained unchanged from the disclosures presented in our Registration Statement.

The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (“JOBS Act”) contains provisions that, among other things, reduce certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. As an “emerging growth company” we have elected to use the extended transition period to delay adoption of new or revised accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies until such pronouncements are made applicable to private companies. Accordingly, our financial statements may not be comparable to the financial statements of public companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards. As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, there is not a significant difference in the presentation of our financial statements as compared to other public companies as a result of this transition guidance.

Overview

We are a mutual holding company headquartered in Franklin, North Carolina with assets of $820.3 million at June 30, 2014. We provide a full range of financial services through offices located in Cherokee, Henderson, Jackson, Macon, Polk and Transylvania counties, North Carolina. We provide full service retail and commercial banking products as well as wealth management services through a third party.

We earn revenue primarily from interest on loans and securities, and fees charged for financial services provided to our customers. Offsetting these revenues are the cost of deposits and other funding sources, provisions for loan losses and other operating costs such as salaries and employee benefits, data processing, occupancy and tax expense.

Our mission is to become the financial services provider of choice within the markets that we serve. We plan to do this by delivering exceptional service and value. Our strategic plan focuses on growth by expanding into contiguous markets with higher growth potential, while diversifying the current loan portfolio.

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we continued to execute on our key strategic initiatives of stabilizing the loan portfolio and improving asset quality, while generating earnings and increasing capital. Our focus throughout the remainder of 2014 will be on loan growth to increase our net interest income, implementing opportunities to increase fee income, improving asset quality and closely monitoring operating expenses. We strive to be well-positioned for changes in both the economy and interest rates, regardless of the timing or direction of these changes. Management regularly assesses our balance sheet, capital, liquidity and operational infrastructure in order to be positioned to take advantage of opportunities for growth as they may arise.

Our results of operations are significantly affected by general economic and competitive conditions in our market areas and nationally, as well as changes in interest rates, sources of funding, government policies and actions of regulatory authorities. Future changes in applicable laws, regulations or government policies may materially affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Table of Contents

The following discussion and analysis is presented on a consolidated basis and focuses on the major components of Bancorp’s operations and significant changes in its results of operations for the periods presented. For further information, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Registration Statement.

Earnings Summary

Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2014 was $0.7 million compared to $0.4 million for the same period in 2013. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $2.8 million compared to $1.2 million for the same period in 2013. The increase in net income for each period was primarily related to a reduction in provision for loan losses and real estate owned related expenses, partially offset by a reduction in noninterest income.

Net interest income was unchanged at $6.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and increased $1.1 million, or 9.3%, to $13.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to the same periods in 2013. This improvement in net interest income was the result of an enhanced tax-equivalent net interest margin of 3.67% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to 3.47% for the same period during 2013. The improved margin was primarily the result of the favorable resolution and restructuring of two commercial loans, which resulted in the recognition of approximately $1.1 million of deferred interest and discounts.

Explanation of Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to the results of operations presented in accordance with GAAP, management uses, and this Quarterly Report contains or references, certain non-GAAP financial measures, such as core efficiency ratio and core income. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide information useful to investors in understanding our underlying operational performance and performance trends as they facilitate comparisons with the performance of other financial institutions. Although management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures enhance investors’ understanding of our business and performance, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered an alternative to GAAP.

Financial Condition At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013

Total assets increased $35.8 million, or 4.6%, to $820.3 million at June 30, 2014 from $784.5 million at December 31, 2013. This increase in assets was comprised primarily of investment securities, which increased $19.8 million, or 11.2%, as deposit growth outpaced loan demand. Cash and cash equivalents increased $5.5 million, or 16.0%, to $39.8 million at June 30, 2014 from $34.3 million at December 31, 2013, and loans receivable increased $9.5 million, or 1.8%, to $531.4 million at June 30, 2014 from $521.9 million at December 31, 2013.

Total liabilities increased $28.8 million, or 3.8%, to $780.8 million at June 30, 2014 from $752.0 million at December 31, 2013, due primarily to strong growth in deposits which increased $28.4 million, or 4.1% to $712.6 million at June 30, 2014 from $684.2 million at December 31, 2013. We did not incur any additional borrowings or indebtedness during the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Total equity increased $6.9 million, or 21.3%, to $39.4 million at June 30, 2014 from $32.5 million at December 31, 2013. This substantial increase was the result of a $4.2 million increase in accumulated other comprehensive income related to an improvement in net unrealized holding gains and losses on securities available for sale, and $2.8 million of net income for the period.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Total cash and cash equivalents increased $5.5 million, or 16.0% , to $39.8 million at June 30, 2014 from $34.3 million at December 31, 2013. We continue to hold higher than normal levels of liquidity in anticipation of rising interest rates.

Available-for-sale investment securities increased $15.3 million, or 9.9%, to $170.8 million at June 30, 2014 from $155.5 million at December 31, 2013. The increase is primarily related to an increase in deposits over the same period partially offset by the reclassification of $4.4 million of municipal securities from available for sale to held to maturity during the first six months of 2014.

Held-to-maturity investment securities are carried at amortized cost. The following table shows the amortized cost and fair value for our held-to-maturity investment portfolio as of the most recent quarter and year end.

Held-to-maturity investment securities increased $4.5 million, or 21.4%, to $25.5 million at June 30, 2014 from $21.0 million at December 31, 2013 primarily as a result of reclassification of municipal securities from available-for-sale to held-to-maturity as mentioned above. The reclassification will remain in effect until the investments are called or mature. We reclassified these securities to minimize the impact of future interest rate changes on accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The difference between the book values and fair values at the date of the transfer will continue to be reported in a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income, and will be amortized into income over the remaining life of the security as an adjustment of yield in a manner consistent with the amortization of a premium. Concurrently, the revised book values of the transferred securities (represented by the market value on the date of transfer) are being amortized back to their par values over the remaining life of the securities as an adjustment of yield in a manner consistent with the amortization of a discount.

Net loans increased by $9.5 million, or 1.8%, to $531.4 million at June 30, 2014 from $521.9 million at December 31, 2013. During the second quarter of 2014 we began to experience an improvement in loan demand, primarily in residential and commercial real estate loans. We believe that economic conditions in our primary market area are continuing to improve, albeit at a moderate pace, and that these improving conditions are contributing to an increase in loan demand.

Delinquent Loans

The accrual of interest on loans is discontinued at the time a loan becomes 90 days delinquent or when it becomes impaired, whichever occurs first, unless the loan is well secured and in the process of collection. All interest accrued but not collected for loans that are placed on nonaccrual is reversed. Interest payments received on nonaccrual loans are generally applied as a direct reduction to the principal outstanding until the loan is returned to accrual status. Interest payments received on nonaccrual loans may be recognized as income on a cash basis if recovery of the remaining principal is reasonably assured. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured. Interest payments applied to principal while the loan was on nonaccrual may be recognized in income over the remaining life of the loan after the loan is returned to accrual status.

Table of Contents

If a loan is modified in a TDR, the loan is generally placed on non-accrual until there is a period of satisfactory payment performance by the borrower (either immediately before or after the restructuring), generally six consecutive months, and the ultimate collectability of all amounts contractually due is not in doubt.

The following table sets forth certain information with respect to our loan portfolio delinquencies at the dates indicated. We have no loans past due 90 days and over that are still accruing interest.

Delinquent loans increased $4.2 million, or 24.8%, to $21.0 million at June 30, 2014 from $16.8 million at December 31, 2013. As noted in the tables above, the largest increase was in the “commercial real estate” category which increased $2.5 million, or 46.1%. Included in commercial real estate loans delinquent 30-59 days at June 30, 2014 is a $6.4 million loan relationship secured by a restaurant, lodge, vacation rentals and land that became delinquent in the second quarter of 2014. This relationship was classified as “substandard” at June 30, 2014.

Non-performing Assets

Non-performing loans include all loans past due 90 days and over, all loans on non-accrual status, certain impaired loans (some of which may be contractually current), and TDR loans that have not yet established a satisfactory period of payment performance (some of which may be contractually current). Non-performing assets include non-performing loans and REO. The table below sets forth the amounts and categories of our non-performing assets at the dates indicated.

Non-performing loans decreased $3.2 million, or 20.5%, to $12.4 million at June 30, 2014 from $15.6 million at December 31, 2013. The largest decrease in the non-performing classification was in commercial loans which declined $3.7 million, or 36.4%. Several commercial relationships returned to accrual status during this period upon demonstration of sustained payment performance and cash flow coverage. Foreclosed real estate decreased $3.0 million, or 28.8%, to $7.5 million at June 30, 2014 from $10.5 million at December 31, 2013, as disposals and write-downs of $4.1 million exceeded additions of $1.1 million. The decrease in non-performing assets reflects the overall improving economy in our primary market area which has resulted in fewer foreclosures and problem assets.

In comparison to March 31, 2014, our non-performing loans have increased $3.4 million, or 37.2%, to $12.4 million at June 30, 2014. This increase is primarily the result of two loans being categorized as non-performing during the second quarter of 2014. The first loan is a $1.8 million commercial real estate loan which is considered to be well secured by a hotel property. The loan was modified and considered a TDR in the second quarter of 2014 and placed on non-accrual status. The modification consisted of a decrease in rate and increase in amortization period with the loan now performing under the restructured terms. The second loan is a $0.7 million home equity line of credit which is secured by a first lien on a residential property and is in the process of foreclosure.

Total classified loans decreased $6.9 million, or 14.7 %, to $40.1 million at June 30, 2014 from $47.0 million at December 31, 2013. Total criticized loans decreased $11.4 million, or 13.5%, to $73.3 million at June 30, 2014 from $84.7 million at December 31, 2013. These reductions reflect an improving economy and an increasing number of criticized loans being paid off or upgraded as a consequence of improvements in our borrowers’ cash flows and payment performance. Management continues to dedicate significant resources to monitoring and resolving classified and criticized loans.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses reflects our estimates of probable losses inherent in our loan portfolio at the balance sheet date. The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon management’s periodic review of the collectability of our loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of our loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect our borrowers’ abilities to repay, the estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. The methodology for determining the allowance for loan losses has two main components: the evaluation of individual loans for impairment and the evaluation of certain groups of homogeneous loans with similar risk characteristics.

A loan is considered impaired when it is probable that we will be unable to collect all principal and interest payments due according to the original contractual terms of the loan. We individually evaluate all loans classified as “substandard” or nonaccrual. If the impaired loan is considered collateral dependent, a charge-off is taken based upon the appraised value of the property (less an estimate of selling costs if foreclosure or sale of the property is anticipated). If the impaired loan is not collateral dependent, a specific reserve is established based upon an estimate of the future discounted cash flows after consideration of modifications and the likelihood of future default and prepayment.

 

50


Table of Contents

The allowance for homogenous loans consists of a base loss reserve and a qualitative reserve. The base loss reserve utilizes a weighted average loss rate for the last 16 quarters, with the most recent four quarters weighted more heavily than the least recent four quarters. The loss rates for the base loss reserve are segmented into 13 loan categories and contain loss rates ranging from approximately 0% to 15%.

The qualitative reserve adjusts the weighted average loss rates utilized in the base loss reserve for trends in the following internal and external factors:

 

    Non-accrual and classified loans

 

    Collateral values

 

    Loan concentrations

 

    Economic conditions – including unemployment rates, building permits, and a regional economic index.

Qualitative reserve adjustment factors as a percentage of historical loss rates range from -10% for a favorable trend to +30% for a highly unfavorable trend. These factors are subject to adjustment as economic conditions change.

A $1.7 million charge-off was recorded on our largest lending relationship during the first quarter of 2014, and was responsible for the majority of the $2.7 million of charge-offs recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2014. This expected loss was previously reserved for at December 31, 2013, resulting in no impact on the provision for loan losses during the first half of 2014. The charge-off of this

previously reserved for exposure resulted in a decrease in the allowance for loan losses to total loans from 2.73% at December 31, 2013 to 2.18% at June 30, 2014. In addition, the overall historical loss rate used in our allowance for loan losses calculation continues to decline as previous quarters with larger loss rates are eliminated from the calculation as time passes. Although our non-performing loans increased at June 30, 2014 as compared to March 31, 2014, this increase had a minimal impact on the allowance for loan losses since the majority of the new non-performing loans are considered to be well secured. Our coverage ratio of non-performing loans remained strong, increasing slightly from 91.19% at December 31, 2013 to 93.48% at June 30, 2014.

REO decreased $3.0 million, or 28.6%, to $7.5 million at June 30, 2014 from $10.5 million at December 31, 2013, and decreased $8.7 million, or 53.7%, to $7.5 million at June 30, 2014 from $16.2 million at June 30, 2013. As noted in the table above, disposals and write-downs continue to outpace additions in all periods presented. We have experienced a significant decrease in the number and dollar amount of additions to REO, and have had moderate success in liquidating REO. Our policy continues to be to aggressively market REO for sale, including recording write-downs when necessary.

Net Deferred Tax Assets

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined using the asset and liability method and are reported net in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is based on the tax effects of the differences between the book and tax basis of assets and liabilities and recognizes enacted changes in tax rate and laws. When deferred tax assets are recognized, they are subject to a valuation allowance based on management’s judgment as to whether realization is more likely than not. In determining the need for a valuation allowance, we considered the following sources of taxable income:

 

    Future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences;

 

    Future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carry forwards;

 

    Taxable income in prior carryback years; and

 

    Tax planning strategies that would, if necessary, be implemented.

 

53


Table of Contents

As a result of the analysis above, we concluded that a valuation allowance was necessary as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. The recorded balance of net deferred tax assets at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 of $2.4 million and $4.2 million respectively, represents the amount of tax planning strategies available to the Bank. The tax planning strategies utilized include converting tax free municipal income to taxable income, the intention and ability to hold securities with an unrealized loss, and the ability to create taxable gains on certain insurance policies.

As noted in the table above, we have experienced deposit growth across all categories, with the exception of brokered deposits, which we expect to completely eliminate by June 2015.

Junior Subordinated Notes

We had $14.4 million in junior subordinated notes outstanding at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 payable to an unconsolidated subsidiary. These notes accrue interest at 2.80% above the 90-day LIBOR, adjusted quarterly. The effective interest rate was 3.05% at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. Because of restrictions outlined in the Written Agreement, we have been deferring payment of dividends for 15 consecutive quarters. At June 30, 2014, we have deferred payments of interest on the notes in the amount of $1.7 million.

Equity

Total equity increased $6.9 million, or 21.3%, to $39.4 million at June 30, 2014 from $32.5 million at December 31, 2013. This substantial increase was the result of a $4.2 million increase in accumulated other comprehensive income related to an improvement in net unrealized holding gains and losses on securities available for sale, and $2.8 million of net income for the period.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013.

General. Net income increased $0.3 million, or 70.4%, to $0.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to net income of $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. On a pre-tax basis, income increased $1.4 million, or 164.2%, to $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013. These increases were primarily attributable to a decrease in the provision for loan losses of $0.9 million and a decrease in non-interest expense of $0.8 million. The increase in after-tax income was partially offset by an increase in income tax expense of $1.1 million due to an increase in the valuation allowance for our deferred tax asset as a result of limitations in the tax planning strategies available to us.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income before provision for loan losses was unchanged at $6.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to the same period in 2013. The tax-equivalent net interest margin decreased slightly from 3.54% for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 to 3.41% for the same period in 2014. The decline in the margin was primarily the result of reduced loan yields.

The following table sets forth the average balances of assets and liabilities, the total dollar amounts of interest income and dividends from average interest-earning assets on a tax-equivalent basis, the total dollar amounts of interest expense on average interest-bearing liabilities, and the resulting annualized average tax-equivalent yields and cost for the periods indicated. All average balances are daily average balances. Non-accrual loans were included in the computation of average balances, but have been reflected in the table as loans carrying a zero yield. The yields set forth below include the effect of deferred fees, discounts and premiums that are amortized or accreted to interest income or expense.

(4) Tax-equivalent net interest margin represents tax equivalent net interest income divided by average total interest-earning assets.

The following table presents the effects of changing rates and volumes on our net interest income for the periods indicated. The rate column shows the effects attributable to changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior volume). The volume column shows the effects attributable to change in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior rate). The total column represents the sum of the prior columns. For purposes of this table, changes attributable to both rate and volume, which cannot be segregated, have been allocated proportionately, based on changes due to rate and the changes due to volume.

(1) Non-accrual loans are included in the above analysis.
(2) Interest income on tax exempt loans and investments are adjusted for based on a 34% federal tax rate

Tax-equivalent net interest income was unchanged at $6.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the same period in 2013. As indicated in the table above, an increase in net interest earned of $251 thousand attributable to an improvement in rates was almost entirely offset by a $240 thousand reduction in net interest earned attributable to a reduction in volume.

The increase in tax-equivalent net interest income of $251 thousand due to rates was primarily due to the impact of lower average deposit yields which decreased 10 basis points to 0.88% in the quarter ended June 30, 2014 as compared to 0.98% in the three months ending June 30, 2013. In addition, a reduction in average rates on FHLB advances from 2.49% during the three months ended June 30, 2013 to 1.76% for the three months ended June 30, 2014 also contributed to the increase in this component of net interest income. The lower average FHLB advance rates were due to a restructuring of the advances during 2013 that lengthened the maturities and lowered the rates. The improvements attributable to these positive rate factors were almost entirely offset by a reduction in average loan yields from 5.33% for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 to 5.14% during the quarter ended June 30, 2014 as yields on maturing loans exceeded the yields on new loans. Loan yields were positively impacted by the accretion of $217 thousand of discount from the restructuring of a loan during the three months ended June 30, 2014.

The decrease in tax-equivalent net interest income of $240 thousand due to volume was primarily due to the effect of lower average loan balances which decreased $7.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the same period in 2013, and higher average FHLB advance balances which increased $14.1 million over the same periods. These negative volume factors were partially offset by the impact of higher average taxable investment balances which increased $19.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same period in the prior year.

Our tax-equivalent net interest rate spread decreased by 12 basis points to 3.32% for the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to 3.44% for the three months ended June 30, 2013, and our tax-equivalent net interest margin decreased 13 basis points to 3.41% for the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared to 3.54% for the three months ended June 30, 2013. The primary cause of these decreases was an asset-sensitive balance sheet which resulted in a 27 basis point decrease in the yield on earning assets, driven primarily by lower loan yields, partially offset by a 15 basis point reduction in the cost of liabilities.

Provision for Loan Losses. During the three months ended June 30, 2014, the provision for loan losses was $6 thousand compared to $0.9 million for the same period in the prior fiscal year. The decrease in the provision for loan losses was the result of an improvement in asset quality as compared to the prior year, and a continued reduction in historical and projected loan losses, which has favorably impacted our allowance for loan loss model. Our non-performing loans increased $3.4 million, or 37.2%, to $12.4 million at June 30, 2014 as compared to March 31, 2014 primarily related to two loans being categorized as non-performing during quarter. Both of these loans are considered to be well secured and had a minimal impact on the allowance for loan losses when changed to non-performing status during the second quarter of 2014.

Noninterest Income. The following table summarizes the components of noninterest income and the corresponding change between the three month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013:

The increase in servicing income, net of $0.2 million was primarily the result of an increase in the fair value of the corresponding mortgage servicing rights. The fair value of our mortgage servicing rights has risen in recent quarters due to a decrease in expected prepayment speeds.

Mortgage banking income declined $0.7 million, or 77.4%, consistent with an industry-wide decrease in the gains from selling mortgage loans that has resulted primarily from a significant reduction in refinancing activity.

Compensation and employee benefits increased by $0.1 million, or 4.5%, for the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2013. This additional expense resulted primarily from an increase in the number of full-time equivalent employees to 185 at June 30, 2014, as compared to 177 at the end of June 30, 2013, in response to anticipated growth.

FDIC deposit insurance decreased $0.2 million, or 38.6%, for the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2013 as a result of a reduction in our assessment rates due to an improving risk profile.

REO operation expenses decreased $0.2 million, or 53.5%, for the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2013. This reduction reflects recent decreases in our levels of REO.

REO valuation expenses decreased $0.8 million, or 62.7%, for the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2013. Although we continue to aggressively market properties, a reduction in our overall level of REO has contributed to the decline in REO valuation expenses.

Income Taxes. We recorded $1.5 million of income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2014, reflecting a decrease in our allowable net deferred tax asset based on the available tax planning strategies, compared to $0.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2013. Several of our tax planning strategies are sensitive to changes in interest rates, and we may be required to further reduce our net deferred tax asset in the future should interest rates materially change. We continue to be in a net operating loss position for federal and state income tax purposes and do not have a material current tax liability or receivable.

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013

Net income increased $1.6 million, or 139.3%, to $2.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to net income of $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. On a pre-tax basis, income increased $2.9 million, or 185.4%, to $4.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. These increases were primarily due to an increase in net interest income of $1.1 million and decreases in non-interest expense of $0.5 million and the provision for loan losses of $1.6 million. The increase in after-tax income was partially offset by an increase in income tax expense of $1.3 million due to an increase in the valuation allowance for our deferred tax asset as a result of a reduction in the amount of tax planning strategies available to us.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income before provision for loan losses increased by $1.1 million, or 9.4%, to $13.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to $12.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. This improvement was the result of an enhanced tax-equivalent net interest margin of 3.67% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to 3.47% for the same period during 2013. The improved margin was primarily the result of the favorable resolution and restructuring of two commercial loans, which resulted in the recognition of approximately $1.1 million of deferred interest and discounts.

Table of Contents

The following table presents the effects of changing rates and volumes on our net interest income for the period indicated. The rate column shows the effects attributable to changes in in rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior volume). The volume column shows the effects attributable to change in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior rate). The total column represents the sum of the prior columns. For purposes of this table, changes attributable to both rate and volume, which cannot be segregated, have been allocated proportionately, based on changes due to rate and the changes due to volume.

(1) Non-accrual loans are included in the above analysis.
(2) Interest income on tax exempt loans and investments are adjusted for based on a 34% federal tax rate

Tax-equivalent net interest income increased by $1.2 million, or 9.3%, to $13.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, from $12.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. As indicated in the table above, the increase resulted from additional interest earned of $1.9 million attributable to an improvement in rates that was partially offset by a decrease of $0.8 million attributable to volume.

The increase in tax-equivalent net interest income due to rates was primarily due to the impact of higher average loan yields which increased to 5.48% in the six months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to 5.24% in the six months ending June 30, 2013. This increase in loan yields reflects the impact of the aforementioned favorable resolution and restructuring of two commercial loans, which contributed substantially all of the 24 basis point increase in loan yields. In addition, lower average rates on FHLB advances of 1.76% for the six months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to 2.84% for the same period in the prior fiscal year, also contributed to the increase in net interest income. The lower average FHLB advance rates were due to a restructuring of the advances during 2013 that lengthened the maturities and lowered the rates. An 11 basis point reduction in average deposit yields to 0.88% for the six months ended June 30, 2014, from 0.99% for the comparable period ended June 30, 2013 also contributed to the increase in the component of tax-equivalent net interest income attributable to rates.

Table of Contents

The decrease in tax-equivalent net interest income of $0.8 million due to volume was primarily due to the effect of lower average loan balances which decreased $13.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013, and higher average FHLB advance balances which increased $14.3 million over the same periods. These decreases were partially offset by the effects of a $27.1 million increase in average investment balances during the six months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the same period in 2013, which contributed $0.3 million to the component of tax-equivalent net interest income attributable to volume. Although average loan balances decreased when comparing the first six months of 2014 to the same period in 2013, we have experienced loan growth during the first six months of 2014.

Our tax-equivalent net interest rate spread increased by 21 basis points to 3.58% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to 3.37% for the six months ended June 30, 2013, and our tax-equivalent net interest margin increased 20 basis points to 3.67% from 3.47% over the same periods. The primary cause of these increases was a 6 basis point increase in the yield on earning assets coupled with a 14 basis point reduction in the cost of liabilities, driven by lower deposit and advance rates and higher yields on loans and taxable investment securities.

Provision for Loan Losses. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the provision for loan losses was $11 thousand compared to $1.6 million for the same period in the prior fiscal year. The decrease in the provision for loan losses was the result of an improvement in asset quality, and a continued reduction in historical and projected loan losses which has favorably impacted our allowance for loan loss model.

Noninterest Income. The following table summarizes the components of noninterest income and the corresponding change between the six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013:

The increase in servicing income, net of $0.5 million was primarily the result of an increase in the fair value of the corresponding mortgage servicing rights. The fair value of our mortgage servicing rights has risen in recent quarters due to a decrease in expected prepayment speeds.

Mortgage banking income declined $1.0 million, or 66.4%, consistent with an industry-wide decrease in the gains from selling mortgage loans that has resulted primarily from a significant reduction in refinancing activity.

We also recorded an other than temporary impairment of $76 thousand on a Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) investment fund during the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Compensation and employee benefits increased by $0.3 million, or 4.9%, for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2013. This additional expense resulted from an increase in the number of full-time equivalent employees to 185 at the end of June 30, 2014, as compared to 177 at the end of June 30, 2013, in response to anticipated growth.

FDIC deposit insurance decreased $0.1 million, or 17.3%, for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013 as a result of a reduction in our assessment rates due to an improving risk profile.

REO operation expenses decreased $0.3 million, or 45.5%, for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2013. This reduction reflects recent decreases in our levels of REO.

REO valuation decreased $0.7 million, or 40.3%, for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013. Although we continue to aggressively market properties, a reduction in our overall level of REO properties has contributed to the decline in REO valuation expenses.

Income Taxes. We recorded $1.8 million of income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2014, reflecting a decrease in our allowable net deferred tax asset based on the available tax planning strategies, compared to $0.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2013. Several of our tax planning strategies are sensitive to changes in interest rates, and we may be required to further reduce our net deferred tax asset in the future should interest rates materially change. We continue to be in a net operating loss position for federal and state income tax purposes and do not have a material current tax liability or receivable.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is the ability to meet current and future financial obligations. Our primary sources of funds consist of deposit inflows, loan repayments, advances from the FHLB, proceeds from the sale of loans originated for sale, and principal repayments and the sale of available-for-sale securities. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. Our Asset/Liability Management Committee, under the direction of our Chief Operating Officer, is responsible for establishing and monitoring our liquidity targets and strategies in order to ensure that sufficient liquidity exists for meeting the borrowing needs and deposit withdrawals of our customers as well as unanticipated contingencies. We believe that we have enough sources of liquidity to satisfy our short- and long-term liquidity needs as of June 30, 2014. We anticipate that we will maintain higher liquidity levels following the completion of our conversion offering.

We regularly monitor and adjust our investments in liquid assets based upon our assessment of expected loan demand, expected deposit flows and borrowing maturities, yields available on interest-earning deposits and securities, and the objectives of our asset/liability management program. Excess liquid assets are invested generally in FHLB and FRB interest-earning deposits and investment securities and are also used to pay off short-term borrowings. At June 30, 2014, cash and cash equivalents totaled $39.8 million. Included in this total is $31.2 million held at FRB and $1.8 million held at the FHLB in interest-earning assets.

Our cash flows are derived from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities as reported in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows included in our Consolidated Financial Statements. The following summarizes the most significant sources and uses of liquidity during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013:

At June 30, 2014, we had $0.6 million in outstanding commitments to originate mortgage loans. In addition to commitments to originate mortgage loans, we had $70.0 million in unused lines of credit for home equity loans and other lines of credit and $2.5 million for consumer lines.

Depending on market conditions, we may be required to pay higher rates on our deposits or other borrowings than we currently pay on certificates of deposit. Based on historical experience and current market interest rates, we anticipate that following their maturity we will retain a large portion of our retail certificates of deposit with maturities of one year or less as of June 30, 2014.

In addition to loans, we invest in securities that provide a source of liquidity, both through repayments and as collateral for borrowings. Our securities portfolio includes both callable securities (which allow the issuer to exercise call options) and mortgage-backed securities (which allow borrowers to prepay loans). Accordingly, a decline in interest rates would likely prompt issuers to exercise call options and borrowers to prepay higher-rate loans, so producing higher than otherwise scheduled cash flows.

Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of management. If we require more funds than we are able to generate locally, we have borrowing agreements with the FHLB and the FRB discount window. The following summarizes our borrowing capacity as of June 30, 2014:

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

General

One of the most significant forms of market risk is interest rate risk because, as a financial institution, the majority of our assets and liabilities are sensitive to changes in interest rates. Interest rate fluctuations affect earnings by changing net interest income and other interest –sensitive income and expense levels. Interest rate changes affect EVE by changing the net present value of a bank’s future cash flows, and the cash flows themselves as rates change. Accepting this risk is a normal part of banking and can be an important source of profitability and shareholder value. However, excessive risk can threaten a bank’s earnings, capital, liquidity and solvency. Therefore, a principal part of our operations is to manage interest rate risk and limit the exposure of our net interest income to changes in market interest rates. The Board of Directors of the Bank have established an Asset/Liability Management Committee (“ALCO Committee”), which is responsible for evaluating the interest rate risk inherent in our assets and liabilities, for determining the level of risk that is appropriate, given our business strategy, operating environment, capital, liquidity and performance objectives, and for managing this risk consistent with the guidelines approved by the Board. Our ALCO Committee monitors and manages market risk through rate shock analyses, economic value of equity, or EVE, analyses and simulations in order to avoid unacceptable earnings and market value fluctuations due to changes in interest rates.

One of the primary ways we manage interest rate risk is by selling the majority of our long-term fixed rate mortgages to the secondary markets, obtaining commitments to sell at locked-in interest rates prior to issuing a loan commitment. From a funding perspective, we expect to satisfy the majority of our future requirements with retail deposit growth, including checking and savings accounts, money market accounts and certificates of deposit generated within our markets. Deposits, exclusive of brokered certificates of deposit, increased to $702.5 million at June 30, 2014, from $672.7 million at December 31, 2013. Brokered deposits declined $1.5 million, or 12.7%, to $10.1 million at June 30, 2014 from $11.5 million at December 31, 2013. If our funding needs exceed our deposits, we will utilize our excess funding capacity with the FHLB and the Federal Reserve.

We have taken the following steps to reduce our interest rate risk:

 

    increased our personal and business checking accounts and our money market accounts, which are less rate-sensitive than certificates of deposit and which provide us with a stable, low-cost source of funds;

 

    limited the fixed rate period on all loans within our portfolio

 

    utilized our securities portfolio for positioning based on projected interest rate environments;

 

    priced certificates of deposits to encourage customers to extend to longer terms;

 

    utilized FHLB advances for positioning.

We have not conducted hedging activities, such as engaging in futures, options or swap transactions.

Economic Value of Equity (EVE)

EVE is the difference between the present value of an institution’s assets and liabilities (the institution’s EVE) that would change in the event of a range of assumed changes in market interest rates. EVE is used to monitor interest rate risk beyond the 12 month time horizon of rate shocks. The simulation model uses a discounted cash flow analysis and an option-based pricing approach to measure the interest rate sensitivity of EVE. The model estimates the economic value of each type of asset, liability and off-balance sheet contract using the current interest rate yield curve with instantaneous increases or decreases of 100 to 400 basis points in 100 basis point increments. A basis point equals one-hundredth of one percent, and 100 basis points equals one percent. An increase in interest rates from 3% to 4% would mean, for example, a 100 basis point increase in the “Change in Interest Rates” column below. Given the current relatively low level of market interest rates, an NPV calculation for an interest rate decrease of greater than 100 basis points has not been prepared.

Certain shortcomings are inherent in the methodologies used in determining interest rate risk through changes in EVE. Modeling changes in EVE require making certain assumptions that may or may not reflect the manner in which actual yields and costs, or loan repayments and deposit decay, respond to changes in market interest rates. In this regard, the EVE information presented assumes that the composition of our interest-sensitive assets and liabilities existing at the beginning of a period remains constant over the period being measured and assumes that a particular change in interest rates is reflected across the yield curve regardless of the duration or repricing of specific assets and liabilities. Accordingly, although the EVE information provides an indication of our interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time, such measurements are not intended to and do not provide a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market interest rates on our net interest income and will differ from actual results.

Net Interest Income

In addition to an EVE analysis, we analyze the impact of changing rates on our net interest income. Using our balance sheet as of a given date, we analyze the repricing components of individual assets, and adjusting for changes in interest rates at 100 basis point increments, we analyze the impact on our net interest income. Changes to our net interest income are shown in the following table based on immediate changes to interest rates in 100 basis point increments.

The table below reflects the impact of an immediate increase in interest rates in 100 basis point increments on Net Interest Income (NII) and Economic Value of Equity (EVE).

The results from the rate shock analysis on NII are consistent with having an asset sensitive balance sheet. Having an asset sensitive balance sheet means more assets than liabilities will reprice during the short-term horizon. The implications of an asset sensitive balance sheet will differ depending upon the change in market rates. For example, with an asset sensitive balance sheet in a declining interest rate environment, more assets than liabilities will decrease in interest rate. This situation could result in a decrease in NII and operating income. Conversely, with an asset sensitive balance sheet in a rising interest rate environment, more assets than liabilities will increase in rate. This situation could result in an increase in NII and operating income. As indicated in the table above, a 200 basis point increase in rates would result in a 3.9% increase in NII as of June 30, 2014 as compared to a 3.9% increase in NII as of December 31, 2013.

The results from the rate shock analysis on EVE are consistent with a balance sheet whose assets have a longer maturity than its liabilities. Like most financial institutions, we generally invest in longer maturity assets as compared to our liabilities in order to earn a higher return on our assets than we pay on our liabilities. This is because interest rates generally increase as the time to maturity increases, assuming a normal, upward sloping yield curve. In a rising interest rate environment, this results in a negative EVE because higher interest rates will reduce the present value of longer term assets more than it will reduce the present value of shorter term liabilities, resulting in a negative impact on equity. As noted in the table above, our exposure to higher interest rates from an EVE or present value perspective has declined from December 31, 2013 to June 30, 2014. For example, a 200 basis point increase in rates would result in a 12.5% decrease in EVE as of June 30, 2014 as compared to a 15.7% decrease in EVE as of December 31, 2013.
