COASTWAY BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

 

(1)                                 Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

 

General information

 

Coastway Community Bank (the “Bank”) is a Rhode Island-chartered savings bank.  The Bank provides a variety of financial services to individuals and small businesses throughout Rhode Island.  Its primary deposit products are savings, demand, money market and term certificate accounts and its primary lending products are one-to four-family residential mortgage loans, home equity loans and lines of credit, commercial real estate and SBA loans.  Prior to January 14, 2014, the Bank was 100% owned by Coastway Bancorp, LLC (the “LLC”) and the LLC was 100% owned by Coastway Bancorp, MHC (“Company”).  The Company, a Rhode Island chartered mutual holding company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, the LLC, a Rhode Island limited liability company, were formed on February 1, 2013.

 

Stock Conversion

 

On August 22, 2013, the Board of Directors of the Company, LLC and the Bank adopted the Plan of Conversion and Reorganization (“Conversion”) to convert the Company from the mutual holding company form of organization to a stock holding company form of organization with a new Maryland-chartered stock corporation, Coastway Bancorp, Inc. (“Corporation”).

 

At December 31, 2013, stock subscriptions received aggregated $43.4 million and were included in liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.  Conversion costs had been capitalized and reduced the proceeds from the stock sold in the Conversion.  At December 31, 2013, conversion costs amounting to $888,000 were included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

 

On January 14, 2014, the Conversion was completed and Coastway Bancorp, Inc. became the parent holding company for Coastway Community Bank.  A total of 4,827,125 shares of Corporation common stock were sold to depositors and to the general public, including those issued to the Corporation’s tax-qualified employee benefit plans, at $10.00 per share through which the Corporation received net offering proceeds of approximately $46.3 million.  Also, on January 14, 2014, the Corporation contributed $300,000 in cash and 122,054 shares of common stock to Coastway Cares Charitable Foundation II which together totaled 3.15% of the gross proceeds of the offering totaling $1.5 million which was recorded as a component of non-interest expense during the three months ended March 31, 2014.  The total number of shares of common stock outstanding upon completion of the Conversion was 4,949,179 shares.

 

As part of the Conversion, Coastway Bancorp, Inc. established a liquidation account in an amount equal to the net worth of Coastway Bancorp, MHC as of the date of the latest consolidated balance sheet appearing in the final prospectus distributed in connection with the Conversion, or $27.5 million.  The liquidation account will be maintained for the benefit of eligible account holders and supplemental eligible account holders who maintain their accounts at Coastway Community Bank after the Conversion.  The liquidation account will be reduced annually to the extent that such account holders have reduced their qualifying deposits as of each anniversary date.  Subsequent increases will not restore an account holder’s interest in the liquidation account.  In the event of a complete liquidation of the Corporation or the Bank, each eligible account holder will be entitled to receive balances for accounts then held.

 

Subsequent to the Conversion, the Corporation may not declare or pay dividends on, and may not repurchase, any of its shares of common stock if the effect thereof would cause stockholders’ equity to be reduced below the liquidation account balance, applicable regulatory capital maintenance requirements, or if such declaration, payment or repurchase would otherwise violate regulatory requirements.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Corporation and its subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

 

The unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Corporation presented herein have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules of the SEC for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X and do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by GAAP for a complete set of financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) and disclosures necessary for the fair presentation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been included. Interim results are not necessarily reflective of the results of the entire

year.  The accompanying unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2013, included in the Corporation’s annual report on Form 10-K.

 

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and 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, the valuation of deferred tax assets, and valuation of real estate held for sale.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

As an “emerging growth company” as defined in Title 1 of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups (JOBS) Act, the Corporation has elected to use the extended transition period to delay the adoption of new or reissued accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies until such pronouncements are made applicable to private companies.  As of September 30, 2014, there is no significant difference in the comparability of the financial statements as a result of this extended transition period.

 

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.  This update requires entities to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component.  In addition, entities are required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income.  This ASU is effective prospectively for public entities for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012 and for nonpublic entities for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013.  Under the extended transition period for an emerging growth company, the Corporation adopted this ASU on January 1, 2014.  The impact of adoption of this ASU was not material to the presentation of comprehensive income in the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In January 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-04, Receivables-Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40) which is intended to reduce diversity by clarifying when an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs, that is, when a creditor should be considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan such that the loan receivable should be derecognized and the real estate property recognized.  The ASU also provides guidance on disclosures of the amount of foreclosed residential real estate properties and of the recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans that are in process of foreclosure.  Under the extended transition period for an emerging growth company, the Corporation will adopt this standard for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014 and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and it is not expected to have a material impact.

At September 30, 2014, investments in certificates of deposit amounting to $3.0 million with an interest rate of 0.65% mature on September 13, 2015.  Certificates of deposit are carried at cost which approximates fair value.

Loan Segments

 

One-to four-family residential real estate and home equity — Loans in these segments are collateralized by owner-occupied residential real estate and repayment is dependent on the credit quality of the individual borrower.  The Bank generally has first liens on one-to four-family residential real estate loans and first or second liens on property securing home equity loans and equity lines-of-credit.  The overall health of the economy, including unemployment rates and housing prices, will have an effect on the credit quality in these segments.

 

Commercial — Commercial loan segments include commercial real estate, commercial and industrial loans for businesses and construction financing for business/properties located principally in Rhode Island.  For commercial real estate loans, the underlying cash flows generated by the properties are adversely impacted by a downturn in the economy as evidenced by increased vacancy rates, which in turn, will have an effect on the credit quality in this segment.  Non-real estate commercial business loans are made to businesses and are generally secured by assets of the business.  Repayment is expected from the cash flows of the business.  Commercial construction generally represent loans to finance construction of retail and office space.  Commercial loans also include loans made under the SBA 504 program which is an economic development program that finances the expansion of small businesses.  The Bank generally provides 50% of the projected costs, and the loan is secured by a first lien on the commercial property.  The SBA does not provide a guarantee on loans made under the SBA 504 program.  A weakened economy, and resultant decreased consumer spending, will have an effect on the credit quality in this segment.  Management monitors the cash flows of these loans.

SBA — Loans in this segment include commercial loans underwritten using SBA guidelines for the SBA’s 7(a) program and include both guaranteed and unguaranteed portions of the same loans.  Currently, under the SBA 7(a) program, loans may qualify for guarantees up to 85% of principal and accrued interest up to a maximum SBA guarantee of $3.75 million per borrower and related entities.  The Bank does not treat the SBA guarantee as a substitute for a borrower meeting reasonable credit standards.  SBA guarantees are generally sought on loans that exhibit minimum capital levels, a short time in business, lower collateral coverage or maximum loan terms beyond the Bank’s normal underwriting criteria.  For a number of SBA loans, the Bank has sold portions of certain loans and retains the unguaranteed portion while continuing to service the entire loan.  The guaranteed portion of SBA loans in the Bank’s portfolio is not allocated a general reserve because the Bank has not experienced losses on such loans and management expects the guarantees will be effective, if necessary.

 

Consumer — This segment includes unsecured and vehicle loans and repayment is dependent on the credit quality of the individual borrower.

 

Allowance for Loan Losses

 

Allowance for Loan Loss Methodology

 

The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings.  Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed.  For impaired loans that are deemed collateral dependent, the recorded balance of the loan is reduced by a charge-off to fair value of the collateral net of estimated selling costs.

 

The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management.  This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.  The allowance consists of general and specific components as described below.

 

The general component of the allowance for loan losses is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors stratified by loan segments.  Management uses a ten year historical loss period to capture relevant loss data for each loan segment.  This historical loss factor is adjusted for the following qualitative factors: levels/trends in delinquencies; charge-off trends over the past three year period; weighted average risk weightings; loan concentrations; management’s assessment of internal factors; and management’s assessment of external factors such as interest rates, real estate markets and local and national economic factors.  There were no changes in the Bank’s policies or methodology pertaining to the general component of the allowance for loan losses during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

 

The Bank evaluates the need for a specific allowance when loans are determined to be impaired.  Loss is measured by determining the present value of expected future cash flows or, for collateral-dependent loans, the fair value of the collateral less estimated selling expenses.  Factors in identifying a specific problem loan include: (1) the strength of the customer’s personal or business cash flows; (2) the availability of other sources of repayment; (3) the amount due or past due; (4) the type and value of collateral; (5) the strength of the collateral position; (6) the estimated cost to sell the collateral; and (7) the borrower’s effort to cure the delinquency.  In addition, for loans secured by real estate, the Corporation considers the extent of any past due and unpaid property taxes applicable to the property serving as collateral on the mortgage.

 

Credit Quality Indicators

 

Commercial and SBA loans are risk rated based on key factors such as management ability, financial condition, debt repayment ability, collateral, industry conditions and loan structure.  Risk ratings 1 through 5 are considered “pass” rated, risk rating 5.5 is considered “watch list”, risk rating 6 is considered “special mention”, while risk ratings 7, 8 and 9 are considered “classified” ratings.

 

Risk Ratings 1-5:  Loans in this category are pass rated loans with low to average risk.

 

Risk Rating 5.5 — Watch List:  loans in this category exhibit the characteristics associated with 5 risk-rated loans, but possess negative factors that warrant increased oversight yet do not warrant a negative risk rating.  Factors may include short-term negative operating trends, temporary liquidity shortfalls, modest delinquency, missing or incomplete financial information, or negative balance sheet trends.

 

Risk Rating 6 — Special Mention:  these loans have potential weaknesses and require management’s close attention.  If these weaknesses are not addressed, they may weaken the prospects for repayment at a future date.  Special mention assets do not expose the institution to sufficient risk to warrant a classified rating.

Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

 

Risk Rating 7 — Substandard:  loans in this category are inadequately protected by the current financial condition and repayment ability of the borrower or pledged collateral, if any.  These assets have a well-defined weakness(es) that jeopardizes the repayment of the debt in full, and are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

 

Risk Rating 8 — Doubtful:  loans have all the weaknesses of those classified substandard.  In addition, it is highly unlikely that a doubtful asset can be collected or liquidated in full.  The possibility of loss is extremely high.  However, because of certain important and reasonably specific pending factors, which may work to strengthen the asset, its classification as a loss is deferred until the asset’s status can be better determined.

 

Risk Rating 9 — Loss:  loans classified as loss are considered uncollectible and of such little value that they are no longer considered bankable.  This classification does not mean that the asset has no recovery or salvage value.  However, it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off the asset even though partial recovery may occur in the future.

 

On an annual basis, or more often if needed, the Bank formally reviews the ratings on commercial and SBA loans.  On an annual basis, the Bank engages an independent third-party to review a significant portion of loans within these segments.  Management uses the results of these reviews as part of its annual review process.  Credit quality for residential real estate mortgage and consumer loans is determined by monitoring loan payment history and on-going communications with borrowers.

Past Due and Non-Accrual Loans

 

The accrual of interest on loans is discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days past due.  Past due status is based on the contractual terms of the loan.  In all cases, loans are placed on non-accrual 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 non-accrual, is 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 status.  Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

Impaired Loans

 

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

 

The Bank periodically may agree to modify the contractual terms of loans, such as a reduction in interest rate of the loan for some period of time, an extension of the maturity date or an extension of time to make payments with the delinquent payments added to the end of the loan term.  When a loan is modified and a concession is made to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty, the modification is considered a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”).  All TDRs are initially classified as impaired.  Loans on non-accrual status at the date of modification are initially classified as non-accruing troubled debt restructurings.  TDRs may be returned to accrual status after a period of satisfactory payment performance according to the terms of the restructuring, generally six months of current payments and future payments are reasonable assured.

Troubled Debt Restructurings (TDRs)

 

Loans are designated as a TDR when, as part of an agreement to modify the original contractual terms of the loan, the Bank grants a concession on the terms, that would not otherwise be considered, as a result of financial difficulties of the borrower.  Typically, such concessions may consist of a reduction in interest rate to a below market rate, taking into account the credit quality of the loan, or a deferment or reduction of payments, principal or interest, which materially alters the Bank’s position or significantly extends the loan’s maturity date, such that the present value of cash flows to be received is materially less than those contractually established at the loan’s origination.  All loans that are modified are reviewed by the Bank to identify if a TDR has occurred.  TDRs are included in the impaired loan category and as such, these loans are individually evaluated for impairment and a specific reserve is assigned for the amount of the estimated credit loss.

 

Total TDR loans, included in impaired loans as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 were $7.1 million and $6.6 million, respectively.  TDR loans on accrual status amounted to $2.4 million and $3.1 million at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

Supplemental Retirement Agreements

 

Effective July 1, 2013, the Bank entered into supplemental retirement agreements (“SERP”) with six executive officers, which provide for payments upon attaining the retirement age specified in the agreements.  The present value of these future payments is accrued over the remaining service or vesting term.  Supplemental retirement benefits generally vest as they are accrued; however a termination of employment subsequent to a change in control will result in the vesting of all benefits that would have accrued to the officer’s normal retirement date.  During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, SERP expense totaled $102,000 and $307,000, respectively.  During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, SERP expense totaled $79,000.

Defined Benefit Pension Plan

 

The Corporation’s defined benefit pension plan was amended in 1993 to freeze benefits at the amount earned as of April 15, 1993.  Pension expense (income) totaled ($5,500) and $12,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.  Pension expense (income) totaled ($19,000) and $35,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Bank does not expect to make a contribution for the plan year ending December 31, 2014.

 

Employee Stock Ownership Plan

 

The Corporation maintains an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) to provide eligible employees the opportunity to own Corporation stock.  This plan is a tax-qualified retirement plan for the benefit of all Corporation employees.  Contributions are allocated to eligible participants on the basis of compensation, subject to federal tax limits.

 

The Corporation granted a loan to the ESOP for the purchase of shares of the Corporation’s common stock at the Conversion date.  As of September 30, 2014, the ESOP holds 395,934 shares, or 8% of the common stock outstanding on that date.  The loan obtained by the ESOP from the Corporation to purchase common stock is payable annually over 25 years at the rate of the prime rate, as published in The Wall Street Journal, which is currently 3.25% per annum.  The loan is secured by the shares purchased, which are held in a suspense account for allocation among participants as the loan is repaid.  Cash dividends if paid in the future on unallocated shares will be used to repay the outstanding debt of the ESOP then due.  If the amount of dividends exceeds the outstanding debt of the ESOP, then, in the sole discretion of the Corporation, cash dividends may be allocated to active participants on a non-discriminatory basis, or be deemed to be general earnings of the ESOP.  Shares used as collateral to secure the loan are released and available for allocation to eligible employees as the principal and interest on the loan is paid.

 

Shares held by the ESOP include the following:

Committed to be allocated

 

11,878

 

Unallocated

 

384,056

 

 

 

395,934

 

 

The fair value of unallocated shares was approximately $4.1 million at September 30, 2014.

 

Total compensation expense recognized in connection with the ESOP for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $44,000 and $125,000, respectively.

 

Change in Control Severance Plan

 

The Corporation entered into an Executive Change in Control Severance Plan (“Severance Plan”) effective upon the closing of the conversion and stock offering in January 2014 (see note 1), with certain officers.  The participants in the Severance Plan will be paid two times the participants’ base salaries plus their highest bonus in the two calendar years immediately prior to termination, upon a change in control, if the participant is not offered a comparable employment position in a similar geographic location.

 

Termination Benefits

 

During the second quarter of 2014, the Corporation offered termination benefits of $103,000 to certain employees who were involuntarily terminated.  The expense related to the termination benefits were recorded as a component of salaries and employee benefits expense in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification ASC Topic 420 Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations.  The affected employees are not required to render any additional services to receive termination benefits.  The benefits are being paid weekly over varying periods up to 20 weeks.  During the three months ended September 30, 2014, of the $103,000 of termination expense recorded, $42,000 was paid, and no amount remains unpaid.

(5)                                 Earnings per Common Share

 

Basic earnings (loss) per share represents income available to common stockholders divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued, as well as any adjustment to income (loss) that would result from the assumed issuance.  There were no potentially dilutive common stock equivalents as of September 30, 2014.  Earnings (loss) per share is not presented for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 or for any period in 2013 as common shares had not been outstanding during the entire period.  Unallocated ESOP shares are not deemed outstanding for earnings per share calculations.

(6)                                 Off-Balance Sheets Activities and Derivatives

 

In the normal course of business, there are outstanding commitments and contingencies which are not reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

 

Loan Commitments

 

The Bank is a party to conditional commitments to lend funds in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers.  These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit which include commercial lines of credit and home equity lines that involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet.  The Bank’s exposure to credit loss is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments.  The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

 

The following financial instruments were outstanding whose contract amounts represent credit risk:

3,812

 

 

The 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.  The commitments for lines-of-credit may expire without being drawn upon.  Therefore, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.  The Bank evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis.  The amount of collateral obtained if deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit is based upon management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty.  Collateral held generally consists of real estate.

 

Interest Rate Risk Management — Derivative Instruments Not Designated As Hedging Instruments

 

Certain derivative instruments do not meet the requirements to be accounted for as hedging instruments.  These undesignated derivative instruments are recognized on the balance sheet at fair value, with changes in fair value recorded in other non-interest income.

 

Derivative Loan Commitments

 

Mortgage loan commitments are considered derivative loan commitments if the loan that will result from exercise of the commitment will be held for sale upon funding.  The Bank enters into commitments to fund residential mortgage loans at specified times in the future, with the intention that these loans will subsequently be sold in the secondary market.

 

Outstanding derivative loan commitments expose the Bank to the risk that the price of the loans arising from exercise of the loan commitment might decline from inception of the rate lock to funding of the loan due to increases in mortgage interest rates.  If interest rates increase, the value of these loan commitments decreases.  Conversely, if interest rates decrease, the value of these loan commitments increases.

Forward Loan Sale Commitments

 

To protect against the price risk inherent in derivative loan commitments, the Bank utilizes best efforts forward loan sale commitments to mitigate the risk of potential decreases in the values of loans that would result from the exercise of the derivative loan commitments.

 

With a best efforts contract, the Bank commits to deliver an individual mortgage loan of a specified principal amount and quality to an investor if the loan to the underlying borrower closes.  Generally, the price the investor will pay the seller for an individual loan is specified prior to the loan being funded (e.g., on the same day the lender commits to lend funds to a potential borrower).  Forward commitments to sell loans totaled $24.4 million and $15.7 million at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

Loss Contingencies

 

In October 2013, management was notified of a claim made related to a loan application management services contract pertaining to monthly user fees which had not been invoiced over the term of such contract.  The company making the claim acquired the application provider in early 2013.  The claim was for $178,000, covering a multi-year period of fees, though invoices and other communications from such company and/or its predecessor indicated balances due from the Bank, which did not include the fees in question, represented all open invoices or all amounts past due.  There is no longer a claim for the $178,000.

 

(7)                                 Fair Value Measurements

 

The Bank uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures.  The fair value of an asset or liability is the price which a seller would receive in an orderly transaction between market participants (an exit price).  Assets and liabilities are placed in a fair value hierarchy based on fair value measurements using three levels of inputs: (Level 1) quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; (Level 2) significant other observable inputs, including quoted prices for similar items in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar items in markets that are not active, inputs such as interest rates and yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, credit risks and default rates which provide a reasonable basis for fair value determination or inputs derived principally from observed market data; (Level 3) significant unobservable inputs for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.  Unobservable inputs must reflect reasonable assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, which are developed on the basis of the best information available under the circumstances.

 

The following tables summarize significant assets and liabilities carried at fair value and placement in the fair value hierarchy at the dates specified:

Impaired loan balances in the table above represent those collateral dependent impaired loans where management has estimated the credit loss by comparing the loan’s carrying value against the expected realizable fair value of the collateral (appraised value or internal analysis less estimated cost to sell, adjusted as necessary for changes in relevant valuation factors subsequent to the measurement date).  Certain inputs used in these assessments, and possible subsequent adjustments, are not always observable, and therefore, collateral dependent impaired loans are categorized as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.  A specific allowance or partial charge-off is recorded to the collateral dependent impaired loan for the amount of management’s estimated credit loss. Losses on collateral dependent impaired loans for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, totaled $157,000 and $91,000, respectively and $257,000 and $220,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 respectively.  The losses represent the amount of write-downs during the period on assets held at period end.

 

Real estate acquired by the Bank through foreclosure proceedings or the acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure is classified as foreclosed real estate.  When property is acquired, it is recorded at the estimated fair value of the property acquired, less estimated costs to sell.  The estimated fair value is based on market appraisals and the Bank’s internal analysis.  Certain inputs used in appraisals or the Bank’s internal analysis, are not always observable, and therefore, foreclosed real estate may be categorized as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.  Losses on foreclosed real estate for assets held at period end for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 totaled $91,000 and $11,000, respectively, and $129,000 and $230,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.  The Bank sold a foreclosed property on July 1, 2014, and received net proceeds of $1.1 million.  A write-down of $40,000 had been recorded on this property upon entering into the Purchase & Sale Agreement in the second quarter of 2014.

 

Write-downs on real estate held for sale during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 totaled $706,000 and $393,000, and $1.1 million and $482,000 respectively.  On May 31, 2014, the Bank entered into a Purchase & Sale Agreement to sell a property classified as real estate held for sale for a net sales price of $1.8 million resulting in a $393,000 impairment loss.  The sale, closed on October 30, 2014, and was financed by the Bank.  The borrower provided a sufficient down payment in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 360.  The loan was made at market terms.  During the third quarter of 2014, the Bank reclassified its prior corporate headquarters into real estate held for sale and recorded an impairment loss of $706,000, based upon a current appraised value, less estimated cost to sell.

 

Derivatives fair value methodology

 

Fair value changes in mortgage banking derivatives (interest rate lock commitments and commitments to sell fixed-rate residential mortgages) subsequent to inception are estimated using anticipated market prices based on pricing indications provided from syndicate banks and consideration of pull-through and fallout rates.  The fair value of the mortgage banking derivatives are considered to be Level 3 assets.

 

The table below presents for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the change in Level 3 assets and liabilities that are measured on a recurring basis:

Estimated Fair Values of Assets and Liabilities

 

In addition to disclosures regarding the measurement of assets and liabilities carried at fair value on the balance sheet, the Corporation is also required to disclose fair value information about financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value, whether or not recognized on the balance sheet.  In cases where quoted fair values are not available, fair values are based upon estimates using various valuation techniques.  Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows.  Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument.  The following methods and assumptions were used by the Corporation in estimating fair values of its financial instruments.

 

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Corporation in estimating fair value disclosures:

 

Cash and cash equivalentsThe carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents approximate fair values based on the short-term nature of the assets.

 

Certificates of deposit — The carrying value of certificates of deposit is deemed to approximate fair value, based on both the current interest rate and the maturity date.

 

Federal Home Loan Bank stock The carrying value of Federal Home Loan Bank stock is deemed to approximate fair value, based on the redemption provisions of the Federal Home Loan Bank.

 

Loans, net — For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values.  Fair values for other loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using market interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality.  Fair values for non-performing loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses or underlying collateral values, where applicable.

 

Loans held for sale Fair values of loans held for sale are based on prevailing market rates for loans with similar characteristics.

 

Deposits — The fair values of deposits with no stated maturity, such as demand deposits, savings, club and money market accounts, are equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date.  Fair values for term certificates are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies market interest rates currently being offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

 

Borrowed funds — The fair values of the Bank’s FHLB advances are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the current incremental borrowing rates in the market for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

 

Accrued interest — The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value.

 

Off-balance sheet credit-related instruments — Fair values for off-balance-sheet, credit related financial instruments 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 estimates of fair value of financial instruments were based on information available at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 and are not indicative of the fair market value of those instruments as of the date of this report.  These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Corporation’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument.  The fair value of the Corporation’s time deposit liabilities do not take into consideration the value of the Corporation’s long-term relationships with depositors, which may have significant value.

 

Because no active market exists for a portion of the Corporation’s financial instruments, fair value estimates were based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, 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 assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

Fair value estimates were based on existing on- and off-balance sheet financial instruments without an attempt to estimate the value of anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments, including premises and equipment and foreclosed real estate, and real estate held for sale.

 

The carrying values, estimated fair values and placement in the fair value hierarchy of the Corporation’s financial instruments(1) for which fair value is only disclosed but not recognized on the balance sheet at the dates indicated are summarized as follows:

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

 

Management’s discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Corporation’s (also referred to herein as, “Company’s” “us,” “we” or “our”) consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in this report and the Corporation’s 2013 consolidated financial statements.

 

Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

 

This report contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements concerning plans, objectives, future events or performance and assumptions and other statements that are other than statements of historical fact.  Forward-looking statements may be identified by reference to a future period or periods or by use of forward-looking terminology such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “plans,” “pursue,” “views” and similar terms or expressions.  Various statements contained in Item 2 - “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” including, but not limited to, statements related to management’s views on the banking environment and the economy, competition and market expansion opportunities, the interest rate environment, credit risk and the level of future non-performing assets and charge-offs, potential asset and deposit growth, future non-interest expenditures and non-interest income growth, and borrowing capacity are forward-looking statements.  The Corporation wishes to caution readers that such forward-looking statements reflect numerous assumptions and involve a number of risks and uncertainties that may adversely affect the Corporation’s future results.  The following important factors, among others, could cause the Corporation’s results for subsequent periods to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statement made herein: (i) changes in interest rates could negatively impact net interest income;  (ii) changes in the business cycle and downturns in the local, regional or national economies, including deterioration in the local real estate market, could negatively impact credit and/or asset quality and result in credit losses and increases in the Corporation’s allowance for loan losses; (iii) changes in consumer spending could negatively impact the Corporation’s credit quality and financial results; (iv) increasing competition from larger regional and out-of-state banking organizations as well as non-bank providers of various financial services could adversely affect the Corporation’s competitive position within its market area and reduce demand for the Corporation’s products and services; (v) deterioration of securities markets could adversely affect the value or credit quality of the Corporation’s assets and the availability of funding sources necessary to meet the Corporation’s liquidity needs; (vi) changes in technology could adversely impact the Corporation’s operations and increase technology-related expenditures; (vii) increases in employee compensation and benefit expenses and other non-interest expenses could adversely affect the Corporation’s financial results; (viii) changes in laws and regulations that apply to the Corporation’s business and operations, including without limitation, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”), the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the “JOBS Act”) and the additional regulations that will be forthcoming as a result thereof, could adversely affect the Corporation’s business environment, operations and financial results; (ix) changes in accounting standards, policies and practices, as may be adopted or established by the regulatory agencies, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) or the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) could negatively impact the Corporation’s financial results; (x) our ability to enter new markets successfully and capitalize on growth opportunities; (xi) future regulatory compliance costs, including any increase caused by new regulations imposed by the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau; and (xii) some or all of the risks and uncertainties described in “Risk Factors” of the Corporation’s annual report on Form 10-K could be realized, which could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s business, financial condition and results of operation.  Therefore, the Corporation cautions readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking information and statements.

 

Accounting Policies/Critical Accounting Estimates

 

As discussed in the 2013 consolidated financial statements included in the Corporation’s annual report on Form 10-K, the most significant areas in which management applies critical assumptions and estimates that are particularly susceptible to change relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses and the valuation of deferred tax assets. The Corporation has not changed its significant accounting and reporting policies from those disclosed in its 2013 consolidated financial statements, other than making the valuation of real estate held for sale a critical accounting policy and estimate in 2014.  When real estate is determined to be held for sale, it is recorded at the lower of estimated fair value less estimated costs to sell.  The fair value less costs to sell is determined based on current appraisals that utilize prices in observed transactions involving similar assets or estimated selling price less cost to sell.  Appraisals of the underlying properties are critical in determining the valuation of real estate held for sale.  Impairment losses during the year represent write-downs from the properties’ carrying value to fair value less estimated costs to sell.

Overview

 

The Corporation’s earnings are largely dependent on net interest income which is the difference between interest earned on loans, certificates of deposit and FHLB stock, and cash and cash equivalents, and the cost of funding (primarily deposits and borrowed funds).  The re-pricing frequency of the Corporation’s assets and liabilities are not identical, and therefore subject the Corporation to the risk of adverse changes in interest rates.  The Corporation’s earnings are also dependent on the gains on sale of loans, net, which is volatile.  When interest rates rise, the demand for mortgage loans tends to fall and may reduce the number of loans we can originate for sale.  Weak or deteriorating economic conditions also tend to reduce loan demand.  The Corporation’s operating expenses are high as a percentage of net interest income and non-interest income, due to the increase in personnel, prior branch growth and related occupancy expenses as we positioned the Corporation for future growth.

 

Coastway Bancorp, Inc. is a Maryland corporation and owns 100% of the common stock of Coastway Community Bank.  On January 14, 2014, we completed our initial public offering (“IPO”) of common stock in connection with the mutual-to-stock Conversion of Coastway Bancorp, MHC, selling 4,827,125 shares of common stock at $10.00 per share (contributing $300,000 in cash and 122,054 shares of common stock to Coastway Cares Charitable Foundation II) and raising $48.3 million of gross proceeds.

 

Net loss was $111,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to net income of $8,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013.  Net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was primarily attributable to an impairment loss on real estate held for sale of $706,000 ($466,000 net of tax) upon reclassifying the previous corporate headquarters to real estate held for sale as a result of moving to a new location for our headquarters.  The financial results for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was favorably impacted due to a $419,000 increase in interest and fees on loans principally due to a $43.4 million increase in average loans and loans held for sale outstanding; a $43,000 reduction in interest expense on deposits primarily due to a 9 basis point reduction in the average cost of deposits; an increase in gains on sales of loans, net of $57,000; and a decrease in salary and employee benefits expense of $101,000.  The decrease in salary and employee benefits expense was primarily due to a decrease in full time equivalents (“FTEs”).  The number of FTEs was 133 employees at September 30, 2014 as compared to 146 FTEs at December 31, 2013 and 144 FTEs at September 30, 2013. Partially offsetting the impact of lower FTEs in salary and benefits expense for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was the impact of ESOP expense of $44,000 as the plan went into effect in January 2014, an increase in supplemental executive retirement plan expense of $23,000, and general merit increases.  Non-interest expense was also impacted by an increase of $118,000 in occupancy and equipment primarily due to increased costs associated with the new corporate headquarters and $30,000 in professional fees primarily due to higher legal, regulatory and professional fees associated with being a public company.

 

Net loss was $1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to net income of $253,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.  Net income decreased primarily due to the $1.5 million contribution ($914,000, net of income taxes) on January 14, 2014 to Coastway Cares Charitable Foundation II comprised of $300,000 in cash and 122,054 shares of common stock, as well as a decline in gains on sales of loans of $757,000.  Excluding the net of income tax impact of the contribution to the charitable foundation, net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 would have been $263,000, or a decrease of $516,000 from net income of $253,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.  Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to the same period in 2013 were primarily attributable to an increase in impairment loss on real estate held for sale of $706,000 upon reclassifying the previous corporate headquarters to real estate held for sale as a result of moving to a new location for our headquarters, an increase in the provision for loan losses of $58,000 and an increase of $605,000 in non-interest expense, excluding the $1.5 million charitable foundation contribution and impairment loss on real estate held for sale, partially offset by an increase in net interest income of $1.2 million and a decline in income tax expense of $809,000.  Net interest income increased primarily due to a $40.1 million increase in the average balance of net-interest earning assets.  In addition, gains on sales of loans, net decreased $757,000 from $2.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 to $1.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.  Mortgage loans sold during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 amounted to $133.7 million at a net gain of $2.2 million as compared to $97.7 million of mortgage loans sold during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 at a net gain of $1.6 million.  The decline in mortgage loans sold was due to a combination of lower refinancing activity, the impact of inclement weather on housing sales during the first several months of 2014, and other economic factors.  A $95,000 gain in the fair value of mortgage loan commitment derivatives was recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to a loss of $81,000

for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, SBA loans totaling $2.5 million were sold for a net cash gain of $159,000 as compared to no SBA loan sales during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.  The increase in non-interest expense excluding the impairment loss on real estate held for sale was primarily due to increases in salary and employee benefits expense of $285,000 due to involuntary termination benefits of $103,000, ESOP expense of $125,000, an increase in supplemental executive retirement plan expense of $228,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as the plan was implemented beginning July 1, 2013, and general merit increases.  Partially offsetting these increases, was the reduction in the number of FTEs to 133 employees at September 30, 2014 from 146 FTEs at December 31, 2013 and 144 FTEs at September 30, 2013.  Non-interest expense was also impacted by an increase of $170,000 in occupancy and equipment expense primarily due to increased costs associated with the new corporate headquarters and the additional costs related to our Lincoln branch which relocated in December 2013; and $167,000 increase in professional fees primarily due to higher legal, regulatory and professional fees related to operating as a public company and due to IT consulting costs.

 

Comparison of Financial Condition at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013

 

Assets.  Total assets increased $18.8 million, or 4.4%, to $451.5 million at September 30, 2014 from $432.7 million at December 31, 2013 primarily due to loan growth of $38.9 million and an increase in loans held for sale of $4.9 million, funded by a $37.1 million decline in cash and cash equivalents.  Cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2013 included $43.4 million of cash received for stock subscriptions.  Total loans (excluding loans held for sale) increased $38.9 million, or 11.9%, to $367.1 million at September 30, 2014 from $328.2 million at December 31, 2013.  The increase in total loans was primarily due to an increase in residential one- to four-family loans of $24.4 million, or 24.9%, an increase in SBA loans of $6.4 million, or 16.8%, and an increase in commercial real estate loans of $8.7 million, or 9.5%.  Residential one- to four-family loan growth was due to a combination of both loan originations, as well as loan purchases of $6.5 million from third parties, which the Bank re-underwrites in accordance with the Bank’s own policies.  The growth in commercial real estate was due to organic growth.

Deposits.  Our primary source of funds is retail deposits held by individuals and businesses within our market area.  Deposits increased $14.2 million, or 4.3%, to $344.1 million at September 30, 2014 from $329.9 million at December 31, 2013, primarily as a result of an increase in the balance of non-interest bearing demand deposit accounts of $7.8 million, or 12.3%, an increase of $4.7 million in money market accounts, or 8.0%, and an increase of $7.3 million in the balance of savings and interest bearing demand deposit accounts, or 9.2%, partially offset by a decrease in the balance of certificates of deposit of $5.6 million, or 4.5%. Customers have generally continued to maintain funds in more liquid deposit accounts in periods of low interest rates.

 

The following table sets forth the deposit balances by certain categories at the dates indicated and the percentage of each category to total deposits.

Borrowed Funds. We utilize borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston as an alternate funding source. Borrowed funds at September 30, 2014 totaled $33.3 million as compared to $28.0 million at December 31, 2013, an increase of $5.3 million.  Borrowed funds at September 30, 2014 were comprised of $32.0 million of short-term advances at 0.21% and $1.3 million in long-term advances at a weighted average rate of 4.04% as compared to overnight advances of $26.0 million at December 31, 2013 at a weighted average rate of 0.28% and long-term advances of $2.0 million at December 31, 2013 at a weighted average rate of 3.97%. The decrease in long-term advances in 2014 of $700,000 was due to maturities.  The increase in short-term advances during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was to fund loan growth.

 

Total Stockholders’ Equity.  Total stockholders’ equity increased to $70.4 million at September 30, 2014 from total retained earnings of $27.8 million at December 31, 2013.  The increase in stockholders’ equity was due to IPO net proceeds of $46.3 million, and issuance of stock to Coastway Cares Charitable Foundation II of $1.2 million, net of $3.8 million in unearned compensation for the ESOP partially offset by a net loss of $1.2 million.

 

Non-performing Assets

 

Loans on which the accrual of interest has been discontinued are designated as non-performing loans.  Accrual of interest on loans is generally discontinued when contractual payments of principal or interest have become 90 days past due or management has serious doubts about further collectability of principal or interest, even though the loan is performing.  When a loan is placed on non-accrual status, unpaid interest credited to income is reversed.  Interest received on nonaccrual loans is applied against principal or interest or is recognized in income on a cash basis.  Generally, loans are restored to accrual status when the loan is brought current, has performed in accordance with the contractual terms for a reasonable period of time and the ultimate collectability of the total contractual principal and interest is no longer in doubt.

 

Loans are classified as troubled debt restructures when certain modifications are made to the loan terms and concessions are granted to the borrowers due to financial difficulty experienced by those borrowers. The modifications of the terms of such loans were one or more of the following:  a reduction of the stated interest rate of the loan for some period of time, an extension of the maturity date at a stated rate of interest lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk, or an extension of time to make payments with the delinquent payment added to the principal of the loan.  Loans on nonaccrual status at the date of modification are initially classified as non-accruing troubled debt restructurings.  Troubled debt restructured loans may be returned to accrual status after a period of satisfactory payment performance and reasonable future payment performance under the terms of the restructuring is assured.  Satisfactory payment performance is generally six months of current payments.

 

Non-performing loans increased to $7.5 million, or 2.04% of total loans at September 30, 2014, from $6.5 million, or 1.97% of total loans, at December 31, 2013 primarily due to a $1.6 million increase in non-performing one- to four-family residential

loans.  A residential one- to four-family loan with a balance of $669,000 was moved from the accruing troubled debt restructured category at December 31, 2013 into the non-accruing troubled debt restructured loan category during the first quarter of 2014.  A $592,000 non-accrual one-to four-family residential loan was modified during the second quarter of 2014 and included in the non-accruing troubled debt restructured loans at September 30, 2014.  Three other loans totaling $882,000 were added to the one-to four-family non-accruing loans category during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.  A $414,000 one-to four-family loan was reclassified from the non-accrual category into foreclosed real estate during the second quarter of 2014.  Partially offsetting the increase in non-performing residential one- to four-family loans, was a decrease of $360,000 in SBA non-performing loans primarily due to the full repayment of a loan with a carrying value of $439,000.

 

Foreclosed real estate consists of property acquired through formal foreclosure or the acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, and is recorded at fair value less costs to sell.  In May 2014, the Bank entered into a Purchase & Sale Agreement to sell a foreclosed property with a carrying value at June 30, 2014 of $1.1 million.  A loss of $40,000 was recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2014.  The sale closed in July 2014.  A residential one-to four- family property of $414,000 was reclassified from non-accrual loans into foreclosed real estate during the second quarter of 2014.  There were no additional loans transferred to foreclosed real estate during the third quarter of 2014.

 

Non-performing assets increased $197,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 to $8.2 million at September 30, 2014 from $8.0 million at December 31, 2013 due to the increase in non-performing loans offset by the sale of one foreclosed real estate property discussed above.

 

Non-performing assets are comprised of non-performing loans and foreclosed real estate.  The designation of a loan or other asset as non-performing does not necessarily indicate that loan principal and interest will ultimately be uncollectible.  However, management recognizes the greater risk characteristics of these assets and therefore considers the potential risk of loss on assets included in this category in evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.  Despite prudent loan underwriting, adverse changes within the Bank’s market area, or deterioration in local, regional or national economic conditions, could negatively impact the Bank’s level of non-performing loans and assets in the future.

Classification of Loans

 

Federal regulations provide for the classification of loans and other assets, such as debt and equity securities considered by the FDIC to be of lesser quality, as “substandard”, “doubtful”, or “loss”. As asset is “substandard” if is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any.  “Substandard” assets include those characterized by the “distinct possibility” that the insured institution will sustain “some loss” if the deficiencies are not corrected.  Assets classified as “doubtful” have all of the weaknesses present to make collection or liquidation in full on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, “highly questionable and improbable”.  Assets classified as “loss” are those considered “uncollectible” and of such little value that their continuance as assets without the establishment of a specific loss reserve is not warranted.  Assets which do not currently expose the insured institution to sufficient risk to warrant classification in one of the aforementioned categories but possess weaknesses are designated as “special mention” by our management.

 

In accordance with our loan policy, we regularly review the problem loans in our commercial and SBA portfolios to determine whether any loans require classification in accordance with applicable regulations.  Loans are listed on the “watch list” initially because of emerging financial weaknesses even though the loan is currently performing as agreed, or if the loan possesses weaknesses although currently performing.  If a loan deteriorates in asset quality the classification is changed to “special mention”, “substandard” “doubtful” or “loss” depending on the circumstances and the evaluation.  Based on this review, we classified or held as special mention the following loans as of the date indicated:

The level of classified and special mention loans decreased by $1.3 million to $5.1 million at September 30, 2014 from $6.4 million at December 31, 2013 principally due to repayments on two loans previously classified as “substandard” and due to the upgrade of one loan to pass previously classified as special mention.

 

Allowance for Loan Losses

 

The allowance for loan losses is the amount necessary to reflect probable incurred losses in the portfolio.  The Corporation evaluates the need to establish allowances against losses on loans on a quarterly basis.  When additional allowances are necessary, a provision for loan losses is charged to earnings.

 

The Corporation’s methodology for assessing the appropriateness of the allowance for loan losses consists of two key elements:  (1) specific allowances for identified impaired loans; and (2) a general valuation allowance on the remainder of the portfolio.  Although the Corporation determines the amount of each element of the allowance separately, the entire allowance is available for the entire portfolio.

 

The Corporation identifies loans that may need to be charged off by reviewing delinquent loans, classified loans, and other loans about which management may have concerns about collectability.  For individually reviewed loans, the borrower’s inability to make payments under the terms of the loan as well as the shortfall in collateral value could result in a charge-off of the loan or the portion of the loan that was impaired.

 

Among other factors, the Corporation considers current general economic conditions, including current housing price depreciation, in determining the appropriateness of the allowance for loan losses for the Corporation’s residential real estate portfolio.  The Corporation uses evidence obtained from its own loan portfolio, including loss history, as well as published housing data in its local markets from third party sources believed to be reliable as a basis for assumptions about the impact of housing depreciation.

 

Substantially all of the Corporation’s loans are secured by collateral.  Loans 90 days past due and other classified loans are evaluated for impairment and general or specific allowances are established.  Typically for a non-performing impaired real estate loan, the value of the underlying collateral is estimated using an independent appraisal, adjusted for property specific conditions and other factors, and related specific reserves are adjusted on a quarterly basis. If a non-performing impaired real

 

30



Table of Contents

 

estate loan is in the process of foreclosure, and/or there are serious doubts about further collectability of principal or interest, and there is uncertainty about the value of the underlying collateral, a new appraisal may be ordered.  Any shortfall would result in immediately charging off the portion of the loan that was impaired.

 

The Corporation evaluates the need for a specific allowance when loans are determined to be impaired.  Loss is measured by determining the present value of expected future cash flows or, for collateral dependent loans, the fair value of the collateral less estimated selling expenses.

 

The general component of the allowance for loan losses is established for loans that are not classified as impaired to recognize the inherent losses associated with lending activities, but which, unlike specific allowances, has not been allocated to particular problem assets.  This general valuation allowance is determined by segregating the loans by loan category (segments) and assigning allowance percentages based on a ten year historical loss period to capture relevant loss data for each loan segment.  This historical loss factor is adjusted for the following qualitative factors:  levels/trends in delinquencies; charge-off trends over the past three year period; weighted average risk weightings; loan concentrations; management’s assessment of internal factors; and management’s assessment of external factors such as interest rates, real estate markets and local and national economic factors.  The allowance may be adjusted for significant factors that in management’s judgment, affect the collectability of the portfolio as of the evaluation date.  The applied loss factors are reevaluated quarterly to ensure their relevance in the current and overall economic environment and in relation to trends in the loan portfolio.

 

Despite prudent loan underwriting, adverse changes within the Corporation’s market area, or further deterioration in the local, regional or national economic conditions as well as bank regulatory examination results could negatively impact the Corporation’s level of non-performing assets in the future.

 

For additional information regarding the allowance for loan losses and impaired loans, refer to Note 3 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements.

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

 

General.  Net loss was $111,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to a net income of $8,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013.  Net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was primarily attributable to an impairment loss on real estate held for sale of $706,000 ($466,000 net of tax) upon reclassifying the previous corporate headquarters to real estate held for sale as a result of moving to a new location for our headquarters.  The financial results for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was favorably impacted due to a $419,000 increase in interest and fees on loans principally due to a $43.4 million increase in average loans and loans held for sale outstanding; a $43,000 reduction in interest expense on deposits primarily due to a 9 basis point reduction in the average cost of deposits; an increase in gains on sales of loans, net of $57,000; and a decrease in salary and employee benefits expense of $101,000.  The decrease in salary and employee benefits expense was primarily due to a decrease in full time equivalents (“FTEs”).  The number of FTEs was 133 employees at September 30, 2014 as compared to 146 FTEs at December 31, 2013 and 144 FTEs at September 30, 2013. Partially offsetting the impact of lower FTEs in salary and benefits expense for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was the impact of ESOP expense of $44,000 as the plan went into effect in January 2014, an increase in supplemental executive retirement plan expense of $23,000, and general merit increases.  Non-interest expense was also impacted by an increase of $118,000 in occupancy and equipment primarily due to increased costs associated with the new corporate headquarters and

$30,000 in professional fees primarily due to higher legal, regulatory and professional fees associated with being a public company.

 

Interest Income.  Interest income increased $449,000, or 12.7%, to $4.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 from $3.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013.  The increase reflected an increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets of $55.7 million to $396.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to $340.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, partially offset by a decrease in the average yield on interest-earning assets to 3.98% for the three months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to 4.11% for the three months ended September 30, 2013.  The majority of our interest income was derived from interest and fees on loans.

 

Interest and fees on loans increased $419,000, or 11.9%, to $3.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 from $3.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013.  Interest and fees on loans increased due to an increase in the average balance of loans and loans held for sale of $43.4 million to $375.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to $331.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013.  The increase in our average balance of loans was principally due to the growth in our commercial real estate and residential one-to four- family loans during the three months ended September 30, 2014.

 

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $47,000, or 7.3%, to $599,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 from $646,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 due primarily to a decline in the average cost of deposits of 9 basis points to 0.83% for the three months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to 0.92% for the three months ended September 30, 2013 as a result of lower interest rates.  The average cost of certificates of deposit declined from 1.69% for the three months ended September 30, 2013 to 1.58% for the three months ended September 30, 2014.  The average cost of savings accounts decreased 4 basis points to 0.10% for the three months ended September 30, 2014 as we lowered such rates effective April 1, 2014.  Partially offsetting the decrease in the average cost of deposits was the increase in average balance of deposits which increased $8.7 million to $273.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 from $265.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, as average balances generally increased across all deposit types other than certificates of deposit. The average balance of certificates of deposit decreased to $121.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to $123.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013.

 

Interest expense on borrowed funds decreased $4,000 to $26,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 from $30,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 due to a 29 basis point decline in the average cost of borrowed funds.  The average balance of borrowed funds increased to $22.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 from $15.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, to fund loan growth.

 

Net Interest Income.  Net interest income increased $496,000, or 17.2%, to $3.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 from $2.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013. This increase was due to a $40.7 million increase in net interest-earning assets to $100.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014.  Our net interest margin increased by two basis points to 3.38% for the three months ended September 30, 2014 from 3.36% for the three months ended September 30, 2013.  This growth in net interest-earning assets was offset by a decrease in our interest rate spread of two basis points to 3.18% for the three months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to 3.20% for the prior year period.

Provision for loan losses.  A provision for loan losses of $115,000 was recorded to the allowance for loan losses during the three months ended September 30, 2014, a decrease of $14,000 as compared to a provision of $129,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013. Our provisions are based on our assessment of loss history, current asset quality and economic trends.  During the three months ended September 30, 2014, a provision of $104,000 was recorded relating to the residential one-to-four family loan portfolio primarily due to loan growth and a provision of $17,000 was recorded to the home equity portfolio.  During the three months ended September 30, 2014, the home equity portfolio had net charge-offs of $32,000.  During the three months ended September 30, 2014, a provision of $8,000 was recorded related to the commercial real estate portfolio primarily due to loan growth and a credit to the provision of $12,000 was recorded related to the construction portfolio due to a decrease in construction loans.

 

A provision of $129,000 was recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2013.  A provision of $59,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 was allocated to the home equity portfolio and a provision of $26,000 was allocated to the SBA portfolio.  During the three months ended September 30, 2013, the home equity loan portfolio had net charge-offs of $127,000.  Home equity loans declined $1.9 million during the three months ended September 30, 2013.  We experienced net recoveries on the residential one- to four-family loan portfolio of $3,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2013, but allocated a provision of $40,000 due to residential loan growth of $10.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2013.  While the SBA portfolio also experienced net recoveries of $4,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2013, a provision of $26,000 was allocated to increase specific reserves on impaired loans in this portfolio.

 

Non-Interest income.  Non-interest income increased $73,000, or 5.4%, to $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014.  The increase in non-interest income was primarily the result of an increase in gains on sales of loans, net in the amount of $57,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013 due to a $95,000 decrease of in the loss in the fair value of mortgage loan derivatives, partially offset by a $37,000 decrease in cash gains on sale of loans.  As the volume o f our loan sales and commitments to originate decreased from the second quarter, the fair value of mortgage loan commitment derivatives also declined and we recorded a loss in the fair value of our mortgage derivatives of $103,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to a loss of $198,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2013.  Mortgage loans sold during the three months ended September 30, 2014 amounted to $43.6 million at a net cash gain of $678,000 as compared to $52.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2013 at a net cash gain of $715,000. The decline in mortgage loans sold was due to a combination of lower refinancing activity and other economic factors.

 

Non-Interest expense.  Non-interest expense increased $732,000, or 18.0%, to $4.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 from $4.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013.  During the three months ended September 30, 2014, an impairment loss of $706,000 was recorded related to the One Coastway Plaza property which was reclassified as real estate held for sale as a result of relocating the corporate headquarters.  Salary and employee benefits expense decreased $101,000, or 4.6%, for the three months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013.  The decrease in salary and benefits expense was due to a decrease in the number of FTEs which was 133 employees at September 30, 2014 as compared to 146 FTEs at December 31, 2013 and 144 FTEs at September 30, 2013.  Partially offsetting the decrease in salary and employee benefits expense was $44,000 of ESOP expense for the three months ended September 30, 2014 which was implemented in January 2014, an increase of $23,000 in supplemental executive retirement plan expense during the three months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to the same period in 2013 and general merit increases.  Occupancy and equipment expense increased $118,000 primarily due to increased costs associated with the new corporate headquarters.  Professional fees increased $30,000 to $153,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to $123,000 for the prior year period primarily due to additional legal, regulatory and other professional fees associated with being a public company during the three months ended September 30, 2014.

 

Income tax expense (benefit).  Income tax expense of $10,000 was recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to $40,000 of income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2013.  The change in income tax expense (benefit) was primarily due to a change in the projected annual effective income tax rate resulting from the impairment loss and write-downs on real estate.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Nine Months ended September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013

 

General.  Net loss was $1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to net income of $253,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.  Net income decreased primarily due to the $1.5 million contribution ($914,000, net of income taxes) on January 14, 2014 to Coastway Cares Charitable Foundation II comprised of $300,000 in cash and 122,054 shares of common stock, as well as a decline in gains on sales of loans of $757,000.  Excluding the net of income tax impact of the contribution to the charitable foundation, net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 would have been $263,000, or a decrease of $516,000 from net income of $253,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.  Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to the same period in 2013 were primarily attributable to an increase in impairment loss on real estate held for sale of $706,000 upon reclassifying the previous corporate headquarters to real estate held for sale as a result of moving to a new location for our headquarters, an increase in the provision for loan losses of $58,000 and an increase of $605,000 in non-interest expense, excluding the $1.5 million charitable foundation contribution and impairment loss on real estate held for sale, partially offset by an increase in net interest income of $1.2 million and a decline in income tax expense of $809,000.  Net interest income increased primarily due to a $40.1 million increase in the average balance of net-interest earning assets.  In addition, gains on sales of loans, net decreased $757,000 from $2.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 to $1.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.  Mortgage loans sold during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 amounted to $133.7 million at a net gain of $2.2 million as compared to $97.7 million of mortgage loans sold during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 at a net gain of $1.6 million.  The decline in mortgage loans sold was due to a combination of lower refinancing activity, the impact of inclement weather on housing sales during the first several months of 2014, and other economic factors.  A $95,000 gain in the fair value of mortgage loan commitment derivatives was recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to a loss of $81,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, SBA loans totaling $2.5 million were sold for a net cash gain of $159,000 as compared to no SBA loan sales during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.  The increase in non-interest expense excluding the impairment loss on real estate held for sale was primarily due to increases in salary and employee benefits expense of $285,000 due to involuntary termination benefits of $103,000, ESOP expense of $125,000, an increase in supplemental executive retirement plan expense of $228,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as the plan was implemented beginning July 1, 2013, and general merit increases.  Partially offsetting these increases, was the reduction in the number of FTEs to 133 employees at September 30, 2014 from 146 FTEs at December 31, 2013 and 144 FTEs at September 30, 2013.  Non-interest expense was also impacted by an increase of $170,000 in occupancy and equipment expense primarily due to increased costs associated with the new corporate headquarters and the additional costs related to our Lincoln branch which relocated in December 2013; and $167,000 in professional fees primarily due to higher legal, regulatory and professional fees related to operating as a public company and due to IT consulting costs.

 

Interest Income.  Interest income increased $1.1 million, or 10.2%, to $11.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 from $10.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.  The increase reflected an increase in the average balance of interest earning assets of $51.0 million to $384.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to $333.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, partially offset by a decrease in the average yield on interest-earning assets to 3.99% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to 4.17% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.  The majority of our interest income was derived from interest and fees on loans.

 

Interest and fees on loans increased $974,000, or 9.4%, to $11.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 from $10.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.  Interest and fees on loans increased due to an increase in the average balance of loans and loans held for sale of $32.1 million to $356.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to $324.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.  The increase in our average balance of loans was principally due to the growth in our commercial real estate and residential one- to four-family loan portfolios during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, interest and fees on loans included prepayment penalties of $122,000 related to two loans as well as the recovery of interest previously unrecognized of $54,000 on another loan which was fully repaid.

 

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $179,000, or 10.0%, to $1.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 from $2.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 due to a decline in the average cost of deposits of 12 basis points to 0.85% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to 0.97% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as a result of lower interest rates.  The average cost of certificates of deposit declined from 1.73% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 to 1.59% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.  The average cost of savings accounts decreased 9 basis points to 0.11% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as we lowered rates effective July 1, 2013 and on April 1, 2014.  Partially offsetting the decrease in the average cost of deposits was the $12.4 million increase in the average balance of deposits to $271.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 from $259.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, as average balances generally increased across all deposit types other than Club accounts. The average balance of certificates of deposit increased to $123.2 million for the nine months ended

September 30, 2014 as compared to $122.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013; however, actual balances at September 30, 2014 on certificates of deposit have declined $5.6 million since December 31, 2013.

 

Interest expense on borrowed funds decreased $36,000 to $62,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 from $98,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 primarily due to a 12 basis point decline in the average cost of borrowed funds and a $3.8 million decrease in the average balance of borrowed funds.  The average balance of borrowed funds decreased to $10.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 from $14.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, as we repaid overnight borrowings in the first quarter of 2014.

 

Net Interest Income.  Net interest income increased $1.2 million, or 14.8%, to $9.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 from $8.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. This increase was due to a $40.1 million increase in net interest-earning assets to $100.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. This growth in net interest-earning assets was offset by a decrease in our interest rate spread of 6 basis points to 3.14% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to 3.20% for the prior year period.

 

Rate / Volume Analysis

 

The following table presents the dollar amount of changes in interest income and interest expense for the major categories of our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities for the periods indicated.  Information is provided for each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities with respect to (i) changes attributable to changes in volume (i.e., changes in average balances multiplied by the prior-period average rate) and (ii) changes attributable to rate (i.e., changes in average rate multiplied by prior-period average balances).  For purposes of this table, changes attributable to both rate and volume which cannot be segregated, have been allocated proportionately to the change due to volume and the change due to rate.

Provision for loan losses.  A provision for loan losses of $396,000 was recorded to the allowance for loan losses during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, an increase of $58,000 as compared to a provision of $338,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Our provisions are based on our assessment of loss history, current asset quality and economic trends.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, a provision of $231,000 was recorded relating to the residential one-to four- family loan portfolio due to a combination of loan growth and due to an increase of $118,000 on specific reserves on impaired loans since December 31, 2013.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, a provision of $68,000 was recorded related to the SBA loan portfolio, a provision of $40,000 was recorded related to the commercial real estate portfolio and a provision of $9,000 was recorded related to the construction portfolio, primarily due to loan growth.  We recorded a provision of $63,000 on the home equity portfolio during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.  Net charge-offs of $76,000 on the home equity loan portfolio were recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.  Home equity loans and lines of credit declined $1.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

 

A provision of $338,000 was recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2013.  We recorded $243,000 of the provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 related to the home equity portfolio, based on our assessment of loss history, asset quality and economic trends and charge-offs experienced in the portfolio.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the home equity loan portfolio had net charge-offs of $336,000.  Home equity loans declined $573,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2013.  We experienced net recoveries on the residential one- to four-family loan portfolio of $10,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, but allocated a provision of $56,000 due to residential loan growth of $18.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

 

Non-Interest income.  Non-interest income declined $683,000, or 14.4%, to $4.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 from $4.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.  The decrease in non-interest income was primarily the result of a decline in gains on sales of loans, net in the amount of $757,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, SBA loans totaling $2.5 million were sold for a gain of $159,000 as compared to no SBA loan sales during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.  Gains on sale of mortgage loans decreased $757,000 from $2.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 to $1.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Mortgage loans sold during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 amounted to $97.7 million as compared to $133.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The decline in mortgage loans sold was due to a combination of lower refinancing activity, impact of inclement weather on housing sales, and other economic factors.  A $95,000 gain in the fair value of mortgage loan commitment derivatives was recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to a loss of $81,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

 

Bank-owned life insurance (“BOLI”) income increased $67,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, as BOLI policies were purchased in July 2013.

 

Non-Interest expense.  Non-interest expense increased $2.7 million, or 22.1%, to $15.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 from $12.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The increase in non-interest expense was primarily due to a contribution of $1.5 million to Coastway Cares Charitable Foundation II, in connection with our initial public offering, of which $300,000 was in cash and 122,054 was from shares contributed.  Non-interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was also impacted by an increase in impairment loss on real estate held for sale of $706,000 upon reclassifying the previous corporate headquarters to real estate held for sale as a result of moving to a new location for our headquarters.  Additionally, salary and employee benefits expense increased $285,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013 due to $103,000 of involuntary termination benefits, $125,000 of ESOP expense which Plan was implemented in January 2014, an increase in supplemental executive retirement plan expense of $228,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as the Plan was implemented beginning July 1, 2013, and general merit increases.  Partially offsetting the increases, was a decrease in the number of FTEs which was 133 employees at September 30, 2014 as compared to 146 FTEs at December 31, 2013 and 144 FTEs at September 30, 2013.

 

Occupancy expense increased $170,000 primarily due to increased costs associated with the new corporate headquarters and additional land rental and building depreciation expense from our Lincoln branch which relocated in December 2013.  Deposit servicing expense increased $88,000 primarily due to increased debit card expenses.  Professional fees increased $167,000 to $510,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to $343,000 for the prior year period primarily due to additional legal, regulatory and other professional fees associated with being a public company and IT consulting expenses.  Foreclosed real estate expenses declined $141,000 to $188,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 principally due to the decrease in write-downs on foreclosed real estate as compared to 2013.  Advertising expenses decreased $56,000 to $173,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to $229,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as a result of lower media advertising.  Other general and administrative expenses increased $62,000 to $1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to $1.2 million for the comparable prior year period primarily due to $148,000 in roof repairs incurred during the second quarter of 2014 on the Sharpe Drive property,

increased education and training costs of $47,000, partially offset by a $131,000 decrease in other charitable contributions given the contribution to Coastway Cares Charitable Foundation II.

 

Income tax expense (benefit).  Income tax benefit of $622,000 was recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to $187,000 of income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.  The decline in income tax expense was primarily due to a reduction in pre-tax income during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013 which was impacted by the higher level of impairment loss on real estate held for sale and charitable foundation contributions.  The tax benefit related to the charitable foundation contribution was $607,000.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Liquidity is the ability to meet current and future financial obligations.  Our primary sources of funds consist of deposit inflows, loans repayments, advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston, principal repayments and loans sales.  While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition.  Our Asset/Liability Committee, under the direction of the Chief Financial 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 September 30, 2014.

 

The Corporation regularly monitors and adjusts its investments in liquid assets based upon an assessment of:

 

(i)             Expected loan demand;

(ii)          Expected deposit flows and borrowing maturities;

(iii)       Yields available on interest-earning deposits; and

(iv)      The objectives of our asset/liability management program.

 

Excess liquid assets are invested generally in interest-earning deposits and are also used to pay off short-term borrowings.

 

The Corporation’s most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents.  The level of these assets is dependent on operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any given period.  At September 30, 2014, cash and cash equivalents totaled $14.4 million.  The Corporation also has $3.0 million of certificates of deposit at September 30, 2014.

 

The Corporation’s cash flows are derived from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities as reported in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows included in the Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

At September 30, 2014, the Bank had $26.2 million in commitments to originate loans, $11.1 million of which will be sold.  In addition to commitments to originate loans, the Bank had $64.6 million in unused lines of credit to borrowers.  Certificates of deposit due within one year of September 30, 2014 totaled $40.4 million, or 11.7%, of total deposits.  If these deposits do not remain with us, we may be required to seek other sources of funds, including utilizing additional Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston advances and selling the guaranteed portions of SBA loans of $28.1 million as of September 30, 2014.  Depending on market conditions, the Bank may be required to pay higher rates on such deposits or other borrowed funds than it currently pays on the certificates of deposit due on or before September 30, 2015.  Management believes, however, based on historical experience and current market interest rates,that the Bank will retain upon maturity, a large portion of certificates of deposit with maturities of one year or less as of September 30, 2014.

 

The Corporation’s primary investing activity is originating loans.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and for the year ended December 31, 2013, loan originations and purchases, net of principal repayments totaled $40.3 million, and $36.5 million, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Corporation also invested $3.0 million in a certificate of deposit which will mature in September 2015.

 

Financing activities consist primarily of activity in deposit accounts, Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston (FHLB) advances and IPO proceeds.  We experienced a net increase in deposits of $14.2 million and $22.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and for the year ended December 31, 2013, respectively.  Deposit flows are affected by the overall level of interest rates, the interest rates and products offered by us and our local competitors, and by other factors.  FHLB advances increased $5.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to net borrowings of $11.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2013.  Stock subscriptions of $43.4 million were converted into stockholders’ equity of $46.3 million upon the close of the IPO in January 2014.  The ESOP purchased $4.0 million of stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of business management.  If we require funds beyond our ability to generate them internally, borrowing agreements exist with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston that provide an additional source of funds.  Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston advances were $33.3 million and $28.0 million at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.  At September 30, 2014, we had the ability to borrow up to an additional $36.0 million from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston.  We believe we have the ability to pledge additional loans not currently pledged.  We also have the ability to borrow with the Federal Reserve discount window.  At September 30, 2014, the Bank had the capacity to borrow up to $17.5 million from the Federal Reserve discount window, but had no outstanding borrowings as of that date.

 

Capital Resources

 

The Corporation believes its current capital is adequate to support ongoing operations.  As of September 30, 2014, the Bank qualifies as “well capitalized” under applicable regulations of the Rhode Island Department of Business Regulation and the FDIC.  To be categorized as “well capitalized,” the Bank must maintain minimum Total Capital and Tier 1 Capital ratios of 10% and 6% respectively, and, maintain a leverage capital ratio (Tier 1 capital to average assets) of at least 5%.

 

The Bank’s actual capital amounts and ratios are presented as of September 30, 2014 in the table below.

In July 2013, federal banking regulators approved an interim rule to set minimum requirements for both the quantity and quality of capital held by banking institutions.  The interim final rule includes a new minimum ratio of common equity Tier 1 capital to risk weighted assets of 4.5%, raises the minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets from 4% to 6% and includes a minimum leverage ratio of 4% for all banking organizations.  Additionally, banking institutions must maintain a capital conservation buffer of common equity Tier 1 capital in an amount greater than 2.5% of total risk-weighted assets to avoid being subject to limitations on capital distributions and discretionary bonus payments to executive officers.  The Bank must begin complying with the final rule on January 1, 2015.
