NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2015 AND DECEMBER 31, 2014

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING POLICIES

Alamogordo Financial Corp. (the “Company”) is a savings and loan holding company that owns 100% of Bank’34 (the “Bank”). On June 30, 2008, the Bank changed its name from Alamogordo Federal Savings and Loan Association to Bank’34. Alamogordo Financial Corp. was incorporated on April 30, 1997 and is a majority-owned subsidiary of AF Mutual Holding Company. As of September 30, 2015, AF Mutual Holding Company owned 54.7% of the Company's outstanding shares of common stock.

The Company completed its acquisition of Bank 1440 on August 29, 2014. Merger consideration was $9.6 million, including $3.8 million in cash and 360,635 shares of Alamogordo Financial Corp. common stock valued at $5.8 million. In the merger, the Company received assets valued at $88.3 million and assumed liabilities of $75.8 million. The transaction resulted in an increase in stockholders’ equity of $8.7 million, including $5.8 million due to the fair value of shares issued and the $2.9 million bargain purchase gain recorded in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

The consolidated financial statements of the Company at September 30, 2015 (unaudited) and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 (unaudited) have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and predominant practices followed by the financial services industry. However, in management’s opinion, the interim data at September 30, 2015 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 includes all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of financial position and the results of operations in the interim periods. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year.

Effective December 31, 2014, the Company changed its fiscal year from the twelve months ended June 30 to the twelve months ended December 31.

These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s transition report on Form 10-KT for the period July 1, 2014 through December 31, 2014 as filed with the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 30, 2015.

The Bank provides a variety of banking services to individuals and businesses through its full-service branches in Alamogordo and Las Cruces, New Mexico and Scottsdale and Peoria, Arizona. The Bank opened a loan production office in El Paso, Texas in the first quarter of 2015.

A large portion of the Bank’s New Mexico loans are secured by real estate in Otero and Dona Ana Counties. The economy for these counties is heavily dependent on two U.S. Government military installations located in those counties. Accordingly, the ultimate collectability of the Bank’s New Mexico loans are susceptible to changes in U.S. Government military operations in southern New Mexico.

The primary deposit products are demand deposits, certificates of deposit, NOW, savings and money market accounts. The primary lending products are real estate mortgage loans and commercial loans. The Bank is subject to competition from other financial institutions, regulation by certain federal agencies and undergoes periodic examinations by regulatory authorities.

Rising and falling interest rate environments can have various impacts on the Bank’s net interest income, depending on the short-term interest rate gap that the Bank maintains. The Bank’s net interest income is also effected by prepayments of loans and early withdrawals of deposits.

ALAMOGORDO FINANCIAL CORP.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2015 AND DECEMBER 31, 2014

Basis of Presentation – The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP).

Basis of Consolidation – The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Alamogordo Financial Corp. and the Bank. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Provision for Income Taxes - No provision for income taxes was recorded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014. The Company had pre-tax income for all periods presented and no provision for income taxes was recorded due to net operating loss carry-forwards from prior periods available to offset that income.

Reclassifications – Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period financial information to conform to the current period presentation.

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

Significant estimates include, but are not limited to, allowance for loan losses, useful lives used in depreciation and amortization, deferred income taxes and related valuation allowance, valuation of other real estate and core deposit intangibles.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements – In January 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-04, "Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure." The objective of this guidance is to clarify 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. ASU No. 2014-04 states that an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs, and a creditor is considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan, upon either (1) the creditor obtaining legal title to the residential real estate property upon completion of a foreclosure or (2) the borrower conveying all interest in the residential real estate property to the creditor to satisfy that loan through completion of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or through a similar legal agreement. Additionally, ASU No. 2014-04 requires interim and annual disclosure of both (1) the amount of foreclosed residential real estate property held by the creditor and (2) the recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that are in the process of foreclosure according to local requirements of the applicable jurisdiction. ASU No. 2014-04 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. The adoption of ASU No. 2014-04 did not have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

NOTE 2 – BUSINESS COMBINATION

On August 29, 2014 (the “acquisition date”), the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of Bank 1440, a state-chartered commercial bank headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona with approximately $88.3 million in assets at fair value and two branches. Bank 1440 shareholders received $0.94 in cash and 0.17064 shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for each share of Bank 1440 common stock and Series A preferred stock, resulting in the Company issuing 360,635 shares of its common stock, subject to adjustment for cash paid in lieu of fractional shares.

The Bank 1440 transaction was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting and accordingly, assets acquired, liabilities assumed and consideration exchanged were recorded at estimated fair value on the acquisition date.

A bargain purchase gain of $2.9 million was recognized in noninterest income during the quarter ended September 30, 2014, which is calculated as the excess of net identifiable assets acquired at $12.5 million over consideration transferred of $9.6 million. No tax benefit or expense was recognized on the fair market value adjustments since each of the Company and Bank 1440 had 100% valuation allowances against their net deferred tax assets and neither had been imputing tax benefits or expense on current income due to past years net operating losses. The following tables provide the purchase price calculation as of the acquisition date and the identifiable assets purchased and the liabilities assumed at their estimated fair value.

Only one month of Bank 1440’s results of operations are included in the Company’s consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 since the merger was completed in late August 2014.

Merger-related charges of $100,000 and $888,000 were recorded in the Company’s consolidated statements of comprehensive income as noninterest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and include incremental costs to integrate the operations of the Company and Bank 1440. Such expenses were for professional services including legal fees, costs related to termination of existing contractual arrangements for various services and other costs. Core operating systems were converted in March 2015.

The following table provides the unaudited pro forma information for the results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as if the acquisition had occurred January 1, 2014. These adjustments include the impact of certain purchase accounting adjustments including accretion of loan discounts, core deposit intangible amortization, fixed asset depreciation and deposit premium amortization. In addition, the merger expenses previously discussed are included in each period presented. The Company expects to achieve operating cost savings and other business synergies as a result of the acquisition, which are not reflected in the pro forma amounts. These unaudited pro forma results are presented for illustrative purposes and are not intended to represent or be indicative of the actual results of operations of the combined corporation that would have been achieved had the acquisition occurred at the beginning of each period presented, nor are they intended to represent or be indicative of future results of operations.

In many cases, determining the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities required the Company to estimate cash flows expected to result from those assets and liabilities and to discount those cash flows at appropriate rates of interest. The most significant of those determinations relates to the valuation of acquired loans. For such loans, the excess of cash flows expected at acquisition over the estimated fair value is recognized as interest income over the remaining lives of the loans. The difference between contractually required payments at acquisition and the cash flows expected to be collected at acquisition reflects the impact of estimated credit losses and other factors, such as prepayments. In accordance with GAAP, there was no carry-over of Bank 1440’s previously established allowance for loan losses.

All of the acquired loans were evaluated for evidence of credit quality deterioration and none were found to be accountable under ASC 310-30 (acquired impaired). All acquired loans are accounted for under ASC 310-20 (acquired non-impaired). The fair value of the acquired loans at the acquisition date was $67.4 million. The gross contractually required principal and interest payments receivable for acquired loans was $68.5 million.

The fair value of the investment securities acquired was approximately $17.4 million.

Amortized cost and fair value of securities by contractual maturity as of September 30, 2015 are shown below. For purposes of the maturity table, mortgage-backed securities, which are not due at a single maturity date, have been allocated over maturity groupings based on the actual contractual maturities of underlying collateral. The mortgage-backed securities may mature earlier than their actual contractual maturities because of principal prepayments. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may call or prepay obligations.

The scheduled maturities of available-for-sale securities at September 30, 2015 were as follows:

At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, there were no holdings of securities of any one issuer, other than the U.S. Government, its agencies and U.S. Government-Sponsored Enterprises (GSEs) in an amount greater than 10% of stockholders’ equity.

At September 30, 2015, mortgage-backed securities included collateralized mortgage obligations of $6.2 million, which are backed by one-to-four family mortgage loans. The Company does not hold any securities backed by commercial real estate loans.

Gross Unrealized Losses and Fair Value – The following tables show the gross unrealized losses and fair values of securities by length of time that individual securities in each category have been in a continuous loss position. At September 30, 2015, 94% of the securities held by the Company were issued by U.S. Government-sponsored enterprises and agencies, primarily Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, institutions which the government has affirmed its commitment to support.

Because the decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates and illiquidity, and not credit quality, and because the Company does not have the intent to sell these securities and it is likely that it will not be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery, the Company does not consider these securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2015 or December 31, 2014.

Credit Quality Indicators – The following tables represent the credit exposure by internally assigned grades at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. This grading analysis estimates the capability of the borrower to repay the contractual obligations of the loan agreements in accordance with the loan terms. The Bank’s internal credit risk grading system is based on management’s experiences with similarly graded loans. Credit risk grades are reassessed each quarter based on any recent developments potentially impacting the creditworthiness of the borrower, as well as other external statistics and factors, which may affect the risk characteristics of the respective loan.

The Bank’s internally assigned grades are as follows:

Pass – Strong credit with no existing or known potential weaknesses deserving of management’s close attention.

Special Mention – Potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. Borrower and guarantor’s capacity to meet all financial obligations is marginally adequate or deteriorating.

Substandard – Inadequately protected by the paying capacity of the borrower and/or collateral pledged. The borrower or guarantor is unwilling or unable to meet loan terms or loan covenants for the foreseeable future.

Doubtful – All the weakness inherent in one classified as substandard with the added characteristic that those weaknesses in place make the collection or liquidation in full, on the basis on current conditions, highly questionable and improbable.

Loss – Considered uncollectible or no longer a bankable asset. This classification does not mean that the asset has absolutely no recoverable value. In fact, a certain salvage value is inherent in these loans. Nevertheless, it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off a portion or all of a perceived asset even though partial recovery may be collected in the future.

Impaired Loans – The following table includes the recorded investment and unpaid principal balances for impaired loans with the associated allowance amount, if applicable. Management determined the specific allowance based on the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, except when the remaining source of repayment for the loan is the operation or liquidation of the collateral. In those cases, the current fair value of the collateral, less selling costs was used to determine the specific allowance recorded.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, no interest income was recognized on these loans subsequent to their classification as impaired.

Certain loans within the Company’s loan and real estate owned portfolios are guaranteed by the Veterans Administration (VA). In the event of default by the borrower, the VA can elect to pay the guaranteed amount or take possession of the property. If the VA takes possession of the property, the Company is entitled to be reimbursed for the outstanding principal balance, accrued interest and certain other expenses. There were no commitments from the VA to take title to foreclosed VA properties at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

Troubled Debt Restructurings – Restructured loans are considered “troubled debt restructurings” if due to the borrower’s financial difficulties, the Bank has granted a concession that we would not otherwise consider. This may include a transfer of real estate or other assets from the borrower, a modification of loan terms, rates, or a combination of the two. All troubled debt restructurings placed on nonaccrual status must show no less than six months of repayment performance by the borrower in accordance with contractual terms to return to accrual status. Once a loan has been identified as a troubled debt restructuring, it will generally continue to be reported as such until the loan is paid in full. However, a troubled debt restructuring that is performing in accordance with its modified terms for at least one year and yielded a market rate of interest at the time of restructuring may be removed from such classification.

There were no troubled debt restructurings as of September 30, 2015. The troubled debt restructurings (post-modification) at December 31, 2014 were the result of adding real estate taxes to the loans, along with legal costs related to bankruptcies. There were no allocated specific allowances related to these credits and there were no commitments to lend additional amounts to these customers as of December 31, 2014.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, no loans were modified as a troubled debt restructurings and the three commercial real estate loans and one commercial business loan classified as troubled debt restructurings at December 31, 2014 were paid off.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, there was one commercial real estate loan of $83,000 modified as a troubled debt restructuring. This restructuring was not in default during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Nonaccrual troubled debt restructurings as of December 31, 2014 amounted to $498,000.

In the normal course of business, the Company may modify a loan for a creditworthy borrower where the modified loan is not considered a troubled debt restructuring. In these cases, the modified terms are consistent with loan terms available to creditworthy borrowers and within normal loan pricing. The modifications to such loans are done according to existing underwriting standards, which include review of historical financial statements, including current interim information, if available, an analysis of the causes of the borrower’s decline in performance and projections, to assess repayment ability going forward.

NOTE 6 – FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK

In the normal course of business, the Bank has outstanding commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit, which are not included in the accompanying financial statements. The Bank’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instruments for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual or notional amount of those instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for instruments that are included in the consolidated balance sheets.

Financial instruments whose contractual amounts represent off-balance-sheet credit risk are as follows as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014:

	September 30,		December 31,
	2015		2014

Commitments to originate and sell mortgage loans	$	19,089,551	$	9,426,644
Commitments to extend credit		15,939,554		19,319,363
Unused lines of credit		4,600,375		4,319,272
Standby letters of credit		35,849		71,579

Totals	$	39,665,329	$	33,136,858

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Bank evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation. Collateral held varies and may include accounts receivable, inventory, property and equipment, and income-producing commercial properties.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2015 AND DECEMBER 31, 2014

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third-party. Standby letters of credit generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Bank’s policy for obtaining collateral, and the nature of such collateral, is essentially the same as that involved in making commitments to extend credit.

NOTE 7 – REGULATORY MATTERS

The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators, that if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Bank’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines involving quantitative measures of the Bank’s assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk-weightings and other factors.

Prior to January 1, 2015, quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total risk-based capital and Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets, and Tier 1 capital to adjusted total assets.

Effective January 1, 2015, regulatory capital rules promulgated under Basel III established a new common equity Tier 1 minimum capital requirement (4.5% of risk-weighted assets), set a uniform 4.0% leverage ratio regardless of examination rating, increase the minimum Tier 1 capital to risk-based assets requirement (from 4.0% to 6.0% of risk-weighted assets) and assigned a higher risk weight (150%) to exposures (excludes residential mortgages), that are more than 90 days past due or are on nonaccrual status and to certain commercial real estate facilities that finance the acquisition, development or construction of real property. The rule limits a banking organization’s capital distributions and certain discretionary bonus payments if the banking organization does not hold a “capital conservation buffer” consisting of 2.5% of common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets in addition to the amount necessary to meet its minimum risk-based capital requirements. The capital conservation buffer requirement will be phased in at 0.625% per year beginning January 1, 2016 and ending January 1, 2019, when the full 2.5% capital conservation buffer requirement will be effective.

Management believes, as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, that the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.

Banks are also subject to certain restrictions on the amount of dividends that they may declare without prior regulatory approval or non-objection.

As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Bank was categorized as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank will have to maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, common equity Tier 1 risk-based and Tier 1 leverage ratios as disclosed in the table below. There are no conditions or events that management believes have changed the Bank’s prompt corrective action category.

NOTE 8 – FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value. There have been no changes in the methodologies used at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

Available for sale Securities – Where quoted market prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Level 1 securities include highly-liquid government bonds, mortgage products and exchange-traded equities. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics or discounted cash flows. Level 2 securities include certain collateralized mortgage and debt obligations and certain municipal securities. In certain cases where Level 1 or Level 2 inputs are not available, securities are classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy and include certain residual municipal securities and other less liquid securities.

Loans Held for Sale – The fair value of loans held for sale is based on quoted market prices from FHLMC. FHLMC quotes are updated daily and represent prices at which loans are exchanged in high volumes and in a liquid market.

Other Real Estate – Other real estate is fair valued under Level 3 based on property appraisals less estimated disposition costs, which include both observable and unobservable inputs, at the time of transfer and as appropriate thereafter.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2015 AND DECEMBER 31, 2014

Loans Held for Investment – Loans held for investment are generally not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Periodically, the Bank records nonrecurring adjustments to the carrying value of these -loans based on fair value measurements for loans subject to impairment. The valuation of fair value for impaired loans is typically determined using a combination of observable inputs, such as interest rates, contract terms, appraisals of collateral supporting the loan and recent comparable sales of similar properties, and unobservable inputs such as creditworthiness, disposition costs and underlying cash flows associated with the loan. Since the estimates of fair value utilized for loans also involve unobservable inputs, valuations of impaired loans have been classified as Level 3.

The following table sets forth by level, within the fair value hierarchy, the Bank’s assets at fair value as of the dates indicated:

The fair values of certain of these instruments were calculated by discounting expected cash flows, which involves significant judgments by management and uncertainties. Fair value is the estimated amount at which financial assets or liabilities could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. Because no market exists for certain of these financial instruments and because management does not intend to sell these financial instruments, the Bank does not know whether the fair values shown represent values at which the respective financial instruments could be sold individually or in the aggregate.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of the additional classes of financial instruments shown:

Cash and Due from Banks, Interest-Bearing Deposits with Banks and Stock in Financial Institutions – The carrying amount approximates fair value.

Deposits and Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) Advances – For demand, savings and NOW deposits, the carrying amount approximates fair value. The fair value of time deposits and FHLB advances is estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies the rates currently offered for deposits and advances of similar remaining maturities.

NOTE 9 – EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share have been calculated based upon the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. All ESOP shares, including those not yet committed to be released or allocated to participants, are considered outstanding. The calculation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 excludes 18,020 and 21,420 shares issuable pursuant to outstanding stock options because their effect would be anti-dilutive as the weighted average price of those options exceeds the weighted average market price for the periods presented.

Critical Accounting Policies

Critical accounting policies are those that involve significant judgments and assumptions by management and that have, or could have, a material impact on our income or the carrying value of our assets. Our critical accounting policies are those related to our allowance for loan losses, the evaluation of other-than-temporary impairment of investment securities, the valuation of and our ability to realize deferred tax assets and the measurement of fair values of financial instruments.

Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is maintained to absorb credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Management’s determination of the adequacy of the allowance is based on periodic evaluations of the loan portfolio and other relevant factors. However, this evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires establishing risk ratings for each loan and an estimate of losses for each impaired loan, an estimate of the amounts and timing of expected future cash flows, and an estimate of the value of collateral.

We have established a method of periodically reviewing the credit quality of the loan portfolio in order to establish an allowance for loan losses. The allowance for loan losses is based on our current judgments about the credit quality of individual loans and segments of the loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses based on our evaluation of the probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio, and considers all known internal and external factors that affect loan collectability as of the reporting date. Our evaluation, which includes a review of loans on which full collectability may not be reasonably assured, considers among other matters, the estimated net realizable value or the fair value of the underlying collateral, economic conditions, historical loan loss experience, our knowledge of inherent losses in the portfolio that are probable and reasonably estimable and other factors that warrant recognition in providing an appropriate loan loss allowance. Management believes this is a critical accounting policy because this evaluation involves a high degree of complexity and requires us to make subjective judgments that often require assumptions or estimates about various matters.

The allowance for loan losses consists primarily of specific allocations and general allocations. Specific allocations are made for loans that are determined to be impaired. Impairment is measured by determining the present value of expected future cash flows or, for collateral-dependent loans, the fair value of the collateral, including adjustments for market conditions and selling expenses. The general allocation is determined by segregating the remaining loans by type of loan, risk weighting and payment history. We also analyze delinquency trends, general economic conditions and geographic and industry concentrations. This analysis establishes factors that are applied to the loan groups to determine the amount of the general allowance. The principal assumption used in calculating the allowance for loan losses is the estimate of loss for each risk rating. Actual loan losses may be significantly more than the allowance we have established, which could have a material negative effect on our financial results.

Other-Than-Temporary Impairment. In estimating other-than-temporary impairment of investment securities, securities are evaluated on at least a quarterly basis, to determine whether a decline in their value is other-than-temporary. In estimating other-than-temporary impairment losses, management considers (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) whether or not we intend to sell or expect that it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the investment security prior to an anticipated recovery in fair value. Once a decline in value for a debt security is determined to be other than temporary, the other-than-temporary impairment is separated in (a) the amount of total other-than-temporary impairment related to a decrease in cash flows expected to be collected from the debt security (the credit loss) and (b) the amount of other-than-temporary impairment related to all other factors. The amount of the total other-than-temporary impairment related to credit loss is recognized in earnings. The amount of other-than-temporary impairment related to other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income.

Valuation of Deferred Tax Assets. In evaluating our ability to realize deferred tax assets, management considers all positive and negative information, including our past operating results and our forecast of future taxable income. In determining future taxable income, management utilizes a budget process that makes business assumptions and the implementation of feasible and prudent tax planning strategies. We also utilize a monthly forecasting tool to incorporate activity throughout the calendar year. These assumptions require us to make judgments about our future taxable income that are consistent with the plans and estimates we use to manage our business. The net deferred tax asset is offset by an equal valuation allowance. Any change in estimated future taxable income may result in a reduction of the valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset, which would result in income tax benefit in the period.

Fair Value Measurements. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. A three-level of fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; includes certain U.S. Treasury and other U.S. Government agency debt that is highly liquid and actively traded in over-the-counter markets.

Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

The asset or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Average Balance Sheets

The following tables set forth average balances, average yields and costs, and certain other information for the periods indicated. Tax-equivalent yield adjustments have not been made for tax-exempt securities, as the effect thereof was not material. All average balances are daily average balances. Nonaccrual loans were included in the computation of average balances, but have been reflected in the table as loans carrying a zero yield.

Comparison of Financial Condition at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014

Cash and cash equivalents decreased $3.7 million, or 25.1%, to $11.1 million at September 30, 2015 from $14.8 million at December 31, 2014. The decrease was due primarily to extra liquid funds held on December 31, 2014 as a result of December securities sales that were not reinvested in replacement securities until January 2015.

Loans held for investment increased $21.1 million, or 12.1%, in the nine months ended September 30, 2015, due to organic growth, primarily in our Arizona market. Commercial real estate loans increased $21.2 million to $151.2 million, which represented an increase from 73.7% of the gross loan portfolio to 76.5% while residential real estate loans decreased from 18.7% of the portfolio to 15.7%. The residential mortgage loan portfolio also experienced run-off as the Bank continued to focus on the secondary mortgage lending program whereby new loans were originated and sold, recognizing a gain on sale, as opposed to being held in the portfolio.

Loans held for sale at September 30, 2015 totaled $12.3 million. We sell a significant majority of our newly originated residential mortgage loans in the secondary market. At December 31, 2014, loans held for sale totaled $9.4 million. The balances at any date vary based upon the timing and volume of current loan originations and sales.

Available for sale securities increased $1.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, as the Bank completed a balance sheet repositioning begun in December 2014 by purchasing mortgage-backed securities in January 2015, including collateralized mortgage obligations. No securities have been purchased since January 2015.

Other real estate decreased $402,000 to $418,000 at September 30, 2015, primarily as a result of $406,000 in write-downs on one property secured by commercial real estate.

Deposits increased $10.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 with increases of $9.5 million in demand deposits and $7.9 million in savings and NOW deposits partially offset by a $7.2 million decrease in time deposits. The Company has been allowing certain certificates of deposit to run off at maturity to improve the deposit mix and reduce the cost of funds. Time deposits as a percent of total deposits decreased from 41.3% at December 31, 2014 to 35.9% at September 30, 2015 as demand deposit balances increased from 8.9% to 13.0%. The Company has concentrated on increasing commercial business accounts. Wholesale deposits increased $1.8 million from December 31, 2014 to September 30, 2015. At September 30, 2015, wholesale deposits were $19.1 million, including $16.9 million in QwickRate certificates of deposit, compared to $17.3 million and $15.2 million at December 31, 2014, respectively. The majority of our wholesale deposits are time deposits with denominations between $200,000 and $250,000.

Federal Home Loan Bank advances increased $11.0 million to $23.5 million at September 30, 2015 from $12.5 million at December 31, 2014. Short term borrowings at favorable rates are being used to fund loans held for sale. The Company prepaid $6.4 million in long-term FHLB advances at rates averaging 4.0% in December 2014 and replaced them in January 2015 with short-term, lower rate advances.

Total stockholders’ equity increased $340,000, or 1.2%, to $29.7 million at September 30, 2015 from $29.3 million at December 31, 2014. The increase was due primarily to net income of $226,000 and a $74,000 decrease in unrealized losses on available for sale securities.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2015 and 2014

General. The acquisition of Bank 1440 was consummated on August 29, 2014 and the material increase in assets from Bank 1440 makes direct comparisons between the two periods less meaningful. The Company had net income of $128,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $2.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. In the September 2014 quarter, a bargain purchase gain of $2.9 million was recorded. We incurred no out-of-pocket merger-related expenses in the quarter ended September 30, 2015, compared to $311,000 of such expenses in the quarter ended September 30, 2014. Other than the bargain purchase gain and merger-related expenses, the Company had $138,000 of net income in the quarter ended September 30, 2014.

Interest Income. Interest income increased $1.0 million, or 53.0%, to $3.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from $2.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The increase was due to a 37.7% increase in average interest-earning assets and an improvement in asset mix as loans, our highest yielding assets, increased from 68.3% of average interest-earning assets to 83.3%. The yield on average interest-earning assets increased 50 basis points to 4.94% for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from 4.44% for the three months ended September 30, 2014 due mostly to the improvement in asset mix. Interest and fees on loans increased $1.2 million, or 65.0%, to $2.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015, from $1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014, partially offset by a $103,000, or 49.0%, decrease in interest income on available-for-sale securities. Interest income on loans increased due primarily to a 65.4% increase in average loan balances, due to both the merger and organic growth. The average balance of securities decreased 27.9% to $31.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2014, and the average yield decreased 54 basis points. The securities yield in the quarter ended September 30, 2015 was negatively affected by accelerated prepayments on mortgage-backed securities which had been purchased at premiums, accelerating premium amortization expense in the quarter.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $7,000, or 2.0%, to $359,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from $352,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The increase was caused by an increase in interest expense on deposits, which increased $79,000, or 30.4%, to $339,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from $260,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014, partially offset by a decrease in interest expense on borrowings. Interest on borrowings decreased $72,000, or 78.3%, to $20,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from $92,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 despite a 194.3% increase in average balances due to the replacement of longer-term, higher rate borrowings with shorter term, lower rate borrowings in December 2014. Prepayment penalties of $532,000 were recognized in December 2014.

Interest paid on checking, money market and savings accounts increased $86,000, or 91.5%, to $180,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from $94,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The average rate we paid on such deposit accounts increased 14 basis points to 0.68% for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from 0.54% for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and the average balance increased $36.4 million, or 52.9%, to $105.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from $68.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The average rates we pay on these accounts is considerably higher in the Arizona market we entered with the Bank 1440 acquisition in August 2014.

Interest expense on borrowings decreased significantly due primarily to the prepayment of $6.4 million in long-term FHLB advances in December 2014 with average interest rates of 4.00%. The average rate paid on borrowings decreased 322 basis points to 0.34% for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from 3.56% for the three months ended September 30, 2014. In 2015, we were able to fund loans with low cost, short-term borrowings as our average FHLB advances increased $12.2 million, or 119.4%, to $22.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from $10.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $1.0 million, or 63.9%, to $2.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014, as a result of a higher balance of net interest-earning assets and a higher net interest rate spread. Our average net interest-earning assets increased by $14.4 million, or 57.1%, to $39.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from $25.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 due primarily to the merger. Our net interest rate spread improved by 72 basis points to 4.24% for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from 3.52% for the three months ended September 30, 2014, as we carried 83.3% of our average interest-earning assets in loans, our highest yielding assets, for the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared to 69.4% in loans for the same quarter in 2014. This repositioning of our asset portfolio was achieved principally through the merger in August 2014, organic loan growth and sales of securities in December 2014 and early 2015, which were not completely replaced during reinvestment. Our cost of borrowings was reduced from 3.56% for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 to 0.34% for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 due to the prepayment of longer-term, higher rate FHLB advances in December 2014 and the continued low interest rate environment.

Provision for Loan Losses. Provisions for loan losses are charged to operations to establish an allowance for loan losses at a level necessary to absorb known and inherent losses that are both probable and reasonably estimable at the date of the financial statements. In evaluating the level of the allowance for loan losses, management analyzes several qualitative loan portfolio risk factors including but not limited to, charge-off history over a relevant period, changes in management or underwriting policies, current economic conditions, delinquency statistics, geographic and industry concentrations, the adequacy of the underlying collateral, the financial strength of the borrower and results of internal and external loan reviews.

See “Asset Quality- Allowance for Loan Losses” for additional information.

After an evaluation of these factors, we recorded a provision for loan losses of $125,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared to no provision for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The provision for loan losses in the quarter ended September 30, 2015 was recorded due to growth in the loan portfolio of $8.9 million, or 4.7%, and the increased percentage of commercial loans in the portfolio, which generally carry a higher risk than residential real estate loans.

To the best of our knowledge, we have recorded all loan losses that are both probable and reasonable to estimate. However, future changes in the factors described above, including, but not limited to, actual loss experience with respect to our loan portfolio, could result in material increases in our provision for loan losses. In addition, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, as an integral part of its examination process, will periodically review our allowance for loan losses and may require us to recognize adjustments to the allowance based on its judgments about the recoverability of our loan balances based upon information available to it at the time of its examination.

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income decreased $2.9 million, or 71.7%, to $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from $4.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 due primarily to the $2.9 million bargain purchase gain from the merger recorded in the September 2014 quarter.

Gain on sale of loans increased $204,000 or 20.9%, to $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from $976,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 as the Company has continued to expand its secondary mortgage loan operation. We sold $38.1 million of mortgage loans during the three months ended September 30, 2015 for a gain of $1.1 million and one SBA loan for $655,000 at a gain of $62,000, compared to $21.6 million of mortgage loan sales and $1.6 million of SBA loan sales during the three months ended September 30, 2014 for total gains of $976,000. We realized a 2.9% average premium (gain on sale/sold loans) on the sales of mortgage loans for the third quarter of 2015 compared to 3.2% for the comparable quarter in 2014. Premiums vary from period to period based upon the mix of government FHA and VA loans to conventional loans, geographic markets and market interest rates, specifically 10-year Treasury rates.

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense increased $641,000, or 21.9%, to $3.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from $2.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 due primarily to higher salaries and benefits, occupancy, data processing fees, professional fees and other noninterest expense, partially offset by lower merger-related expenses. The increases in expenses resulted primarily from the acquisition of Bank 1440. Average assets for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 were 35.4% larger than the same quarter in the prior year.

There were no merger-related expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, compared to $311,000 in the quarter ended September 30, 2014. Legal, consulting and data processing costs were the largest elements of merger-related expense. Merger-related costs were being incurred over a year before the August 29, 2014 acquisition of Bank 1440. The Company operated on two core operating systems and numerous other redundant ancillary systems from the August 29, 2014 merger date until late March 2015 when all the systems were converted. The systems conversions are expected to result in enhanced operating efficiencies going forward. Internal costs incurred cannot be quantified and are therefore not included in merger-related expense. The majority of merger-related expenses, totaling $801,000, were expensed in the six months ended December 31, 2014. Material duplicative costs and exit fees from the old systems were expensed and classified as merger-related in our statement of comprehensive income as soon as those expense amounts were reasonably estimable and probable. With the late March 2015 systems conversions, the Company has eliminated all duplicative systems. The Company does not expect to incur any merger-related expenses related to the Bank 1440 transaction in the future.

Provision for Income Taxes. No provision for income tax expense was recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 due to net operating loss carry-forwards from prior periods available to offset their income. The Company had pre-tax and after-tax income of $2.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and $128,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2015.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Nine months Ended September 30, 2015 and 2014

General. The acquisition of Bank 1440 was consummated on August 29, 2014 and the material increase in assets from Bank 1440 makes direct comparisons between the two periods less meaningful. We had net income of $226,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $2.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The nine month results for 2014 included a $2.9 million bargain purchase gain on the acquisition of Bank 1440 and $888,000 in merger-related expenses. Merger-related expenses in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 were $100,000.

Interest Income. Interest income increased $3.4 million, or 62.2%, to $8.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from $5.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The increase was due to a 48.9% increase in average interest-earning assets and a 41 basis point increase in yields due primarily to improvement in asset mix as loans, our highest yielding assets, increased from 68.6% of average interest-earning assets to 82.6%. Interest and fees on loans increased $3.6 million, or 73.6%, to $8.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, from $4.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, partially offset by a $208,000, or 34.3%, decrease in interest income on available-for-sale securities. Interest income on loans increased due primarily to a 79.2% increase in average loan balances, due to both the merger and organic growth, partially offset by an 18 basis point decrease in loan yields from 5.89% to 5.71% as market rates continued to decline. The average balance of securities decreased 19.7% to $33.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $41.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and the average yield decreased 35 basis points.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $77,000, or 7.9%, to $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from $978,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The increase was caused by an increase in interest expense on deposits, which increased $297,000, or 41.7%, to $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from $712,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, partially offset by a decrease in interest expense on borrowings. Interest on borrowings decreased $220,000, or 82.7%, to $46,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from $266,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 due to the replacement of longer-term, higher-rate borrowings with shorter-term borrowings, despite a 118.6% increase in average balances.

Interest paid on checking, money market and savings accounts increased $309,000, or 147.1%, to $519,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from $210,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The average rate we paid on such deposit accounts increased 19 basis points to 0.68% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from 0.49% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and the average balance increased $44.6 million, or 77.1%, to $102.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from $57.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The average rates we pay on these accounts is considerably higher in the Arizona market we entered with the Bank 1440 acquisition.

Interest expense on borrowings decreased significantly due primarily to the prepayment of $6.4 million in long-term FHLB advances in December 2014 with average interest rates of 4.00%. The average rate paid on borrowings decreased 334 basis points to 0.29% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from 3.63% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. In 2015, we were able to fund some of the growth in portfolio loans and mortgage loans held for sale with low cost, short-term borrowings as our average FHLB advances increased $11.6 million, or 118.6%, to $21.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from $9.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $3.3 million, or 74.1%, to $7.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from $4.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, as a result of a higher balance of net interest-earning assets and a higher net interest rate spread. Our average net interest-earning assets increased by $13.1 million, or 58.7%, to $35.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from $22.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 due primarily to the merger and loan growth. Our net interest rate spread improved by 66 basis points to 4.27% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from 3.61% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, as we carried 82.6% of our average interest-earning assets in loans, our highest yielding asset, for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to 68.6% in loans for the comparable period in 2014. This repositioning of our asset portfolio was achieved principally through the merger in August 2014, organic loan growth and sales of securities in December 2014 and early 2015, which were not completely replaced during reinvestment. Our cost of borrowings was reduced from 3.63% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 to 0.29% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 due to the prepayment of longer-term, higher rate FHLB advances in December 2014.

Provision for Loan Losses. We recorded a provision for loan losses of $300,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to no provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The provision for 2015 was due to portfolio loan growth of $21.0 million, or 12.0%, and a specific allowance added in March 2015 that was followed by a $339,000 partial charge-off in the third quarter on one first mortgage loan with a pre-charge off balance of $932,000 due to an expected bankruptcy filing, partially offset by $186,000 in recoveries. Recoveries of $55,000 were received in the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income decreased $2.6 million, or 44.2%, to $3.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from $5.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 primarily due to the $2.9 million bargain purchase gain recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and $406,000 in impairment charges on other real estate in the nine months ended September 30, 2015, partially offset by a higher volume of loan sales and related gains during the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

Gain on sale of loans increased $878,000, or 37.3%, to $3.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from $2.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, as the Company has continued to expand its secondary mortgage loan operation. We sold $107.3 million of mortgage loans during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $68.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The average premium (gain on sale/sold loans) for 2015 was 2.9% compared to 3.2% for 2014. Premiums vary from period to period based upon the mix of government FHA and VA loans to conventional loans, geographic markets and market interest rates, specifically 10-year Treasury rates. We sold $1.6 million of SBA loans in each of the nine month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, recognizing gains on sale of $148,000 in 2015 and $168,000 in 2014.

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense increased $2.3 million, or 28.7%, to $10.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 from $8.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 due primarily to higher salaries and benefits, occupancy, data processing fees, professional fees and other noninterest expense, partially offset by lower merger-related expenses. These increases in expenses resulted primarily from the acquisition of Bank 1440. Average assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 were 46.3% larger than the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Merger-related expenses decreased $788,000, or 88.7%, to $100,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $888,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Provision for Income Taxes. No provision for income tax expense was recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014. The Company had pre-tax income of $2.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and $226,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and no provision for income tax expense was recorded due to net operating loss carry-forwards from prior periods available to offset that income.

Arizona Mortgage Banking Program Expansion

On September 24, 2015 the Company announced the expansion of its mortgage banking program in Arizona and Albuquerque, New Mexico. Jim Lyddon was named as the new Director of Residential Lending, overseeing all aspects of Bank’34's residential mortgage programs across all geographic markets.

Under this expansion, Bank’34 has added 22 full-time equivalent employees. In October 2015, we entered into leases for additional space in Scottsdale and Albuquerque. Management would expect the fourth quarter operating results to be negatively affected as the additional operating costs are expected to exceed the revenue generated from this new operation for the first few months.

Asset Quality

We review loans on a regular basis, and place loans on nonaccrual status when either principal or interest is 90 days or more past due unless it is both well-secured and in the process of collection. In addition, we place loans on nonaccrual status when we do not expect to receive full payment of interest or principal. Interest accrued and unpaid at the time a loan is placed on nonaccrual status is reversed from interest income. Once a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, the borrower must generally demonstrate at least six months of payment performance before the loan is eligible to return to accrual status.

Nonperforming Assets. The following table sets forth information regarding our nonperforming assets. In addition to the assets listed below, as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 we had $0 and $483,000 of accruing troubled debt restructurings, respectively. Troubled debt restructurings include loans for which either a portion of interest or principal has been forgiven, or for loans modified at interest rates materially less than current market rates. The troubled debt restructurings as of December 31, 2014 consisted of three commercial real estate loans and one commercial and industrial loan. As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, there were no specific allowances related to these loans, and at each date we had no commitments to lend additional amounts to those customers.

Nonperforming assets to total assets		0.46	%		0.66	%
Nonperforming assets to gross loans held for investment and ORE		0.62	%		0.92	%

The ratio of nonperforming loans to gross loans held for investment decreased due to a 1.4% decrease in nonaccrual loans and 12.1% increase in gross loans. In the nine months ended September 30, 2015, one first mortgage loan with a balance of $932,000 was placed on nonaccrual status due to non-payment and an expected bankruptcy filing and a partial charge-off of $339,000 was recorded to cover the difference between the loan balance and the estimated net sales value of the property. Also in the nine month period, two nonaccrual commercial loans with recorded balances of $366,000 were paid in full. At September 30, 2015, the Company did not have any nonaccrual commercial loans.

Interest income that would have been recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, had nonaccruing loans been current according to their original terms amounted to $41,000. Of such amount, none is related to troubled debt restructurings. We recognized no interest income on these nonaccrual loans for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

At September 30, 2015, we had no loans that were not currently classified as nonaccrual, 90 days past due or troubled debt restructurings where known information about possible credit problems of borrowers caused management to have serious concerns as to the ability of the borrowers to comply with existing loan repayment terms and that could result in disclosure as nonaccrual, 90 days past due or troubled debt restructurings.

Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level which, in management’s judgment, is adequate to absorb credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The amount of the allowance is based on management’s evaluation of the collectability of the loan portfolio, including the nature of the portfolio, credit concentrations, trends in historical loss experience, specific impaired loans, and economic conditions. Allowances for impaired loans are generally determined based on collateral values or the present value of estimated cash flows. Because of uncertainties associated with regional economic conditions, collateral values, and future cash flows on impaired loans, it is possible that management’s estimate of credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio and the related allowance may change materially in the near-term. The allowance is increased by a provision for loan losses, which is charged to expense and reduced by charge-offs, net of recoveries. Changes in the allowance relating to impaired loans are charged or credited to the provision for loan losses.

Adjustable-rate mortgage loans decrease the risk associated with changes in market interest rates by periodically repricing, but involve other risks because, as interest rates increase, the underlying payments by the borrower increase, thus increasing the potential for default by the borrower. At the same time, the marketability of the underlying collateral may be adversely affected by higher interest rates. Upward adjustment of the contractual interest rate is also limited by the maximum periodic and lifetime interest rate adjustments permitted by our loan documents and, therefore, the effectiveness of adjustable-rate mortgage loans may be limited during periods of rapidly rising interest rates.

Loans secured by commercial real estate and multi-family real estate generally involve larger principal amounts and a greater degree of risk than one- to four-family residential mortgage loans. Because payments on loans secured by commercial real estate and multi-family real estate are often dependent on successful operation or management of the properties, repayment of such loans may be affected by adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy.

Unlike residential mortgage loans, which generally are made on the basis of the borrower’s ability to make repayment from his or her employment or other income, and which are secured by real property that is generally more marketable and whose value tends to be more easily ascertainable, commercial business loans generally are made on the basis of the borrower’s ability to repay the loan from the cash flow of the borrower’s business. As a result, the availability of funds for the repayment of commercial business loans may depend substantially on the success of the business itself. Further, any collateral securing the loans may depreciate over time, may be difficult to appraise and may fluctuate in value.

The following table sets forth activity in our allowance for loan losses for the periods indicated.

Net (charge-offs) recoveries to average loans outstanding during the period (annualized)		(0.10	)%		(0.08	)%

The allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans ratio decreased due to an increase in nonperforming loans from September 30, 2014 to September 30, 2015. The allowance for loan losses to total gross loans ratio decreased due to the absence of any allowance for loan losses on loans acquired in the purchase of Bank 1440 as such loans were marked to market on the date of the acquisition, partially offset by recoveries recognized during the first nine months of 2015. The decrease in the allowance for loan losses to total gross loans less acquired loans was due to improvement in the economy, favorable credit quality and a $339,000 partial charge off of one large residential loan in the quarter ended September 30, 2015. The net (charge-offs) recoveries to average loans outstanding ratio increased due mostly to a $339,000 residential real estate loan partial charge-off in the third quarter of 2015.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is the ability to meet current and future financial obligations of a short-term nature. Our primary sources of funds consist of deposit inflows, loan repayments, maturities and sales of securities and Federal Home Loan Bank advances. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition.

We regularly adjust our investments in liquid assets based upon our assessment of expected loan demand, expected deposit flows, yields available on interest-earning deposits and securities, and the objectives of our asset/liability management program. Excess liquid assets are invested generally in interest-earning deposits with other banks and short- and intermediate-term securities.

We believe that we have enough sources of liquidity to satisfy our short-term liquidity needs as of September 30, 2015.

Our most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents. The levels of these assets are dependent on our operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any given period. At September 30, 2015, cash and cash equivalents totaled $11.1 million. Securities classified as available-for-sale, which provide additional sources of liquidity, totaled $30.5 million at September 30, 2015; however, securities carried at $3.0 million were pledged to secure public deposits. In addition, at September 30, 2015, we had the ability to borrow an additional $96.4 million from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas. On that date, we had $23.5 million of advances outstanding.

At September 30, 2015, we had $15.9 million in loan commitments outstanding, and an additional $19.1 million in commitments to originate and sell mortgage loans. In addition, we had $4.6 million in unused lines of credit and $36,000 in commitments issued under standby letters of credit. Certificates of deposit due within one year as of September 30, 2015 totaled $38.8 million, or 18.3% of total deposits. If these deposits do not remain with us, we will be required to seek other sources of funds, including other certificates of deposit and Federal Home Loan Bank advances. Depending on market conditions, we may be required to pay higher rates on such deposits or other borrowings than we currently pay on the certificates of deposit due on or before September 30, 2016. We believe, however, based on past experience that a significant portion of our certificates of deposit will remain with us, either as certificates of deposit or as other deposit products. We have the ability to attract and retain deposits by adjusting the interest rates offered.

We have no material commitments or demands that are likely to affect our liquidity other than set forth above. In the event loan demand were to increase at a pace greater than expected, or any unforeseen demand or commitment were to occur, we would access our borrowing capacity with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas or increase our deposits by offering higher interest rates.

Our primary investing activities are the origination of loans and the purchase of securities. In the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, we originated $114.9 million and $92.6 million of loans, respectively, and purchased $9.7 million and $0 of securities, respectively. We have not purchased any whole loans in recent periods.

Financing activities consist primarily of activity in deposit accounts and Federal Home Loan Bank advances. We experienced net increases of $10.3 million and $73.7 million in total deposits for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Excluding the $75.5 million in deposits acquired in the Bank 1440 merger in August 2014, the Company had a net decrease in deposits of $1.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Deposit flows are affected by the overall level of interest rates, the interest rates and products offered by us and our local competitors and other factors. We generally manage the pricing of our deposits so that we are competitive in our market area. Wholesale deposits, which are generally not from our primary market areas, represented $19.1 million, or 9.0% of deposits at September 30, 2015. This included $16.9 million in QwickRate certificates of deposit. The majority of our wholesale deposits are time deposits with denominations between $200,000 and $250,000.

Federal Home Loan Bank advances increased by $11.0 million and $4.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

In the first nine months of 2015, we utilized deposit growth, excess liquid funds held at December 31, 2014 and proceeds from FHLB advances to fund new loan originations and the purchase of $9.7 million in available-for-sale securities. During 2014, we were able to decrease our borrowings as we used cash provided by loan repayments to fund our operations without negatively affecting our levels of liquidity.

Bank’34 is subject to various regulatory capital requirements, including a risk-based capital measure. The risk-based capital guidelines include both a definition of capital and a framework for calculating risk-weighted assets by assigning balance sheet assets and off-balance sheet items to broad risk categories. At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, Bank’34 exceeded all regulatory capital requirements. Bank’34 is considered “well-capitalized” under regulatory guidelines.
