SUNSHINE FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

1.   Organization and Basis of Presentation
Sunshine Financial, Inc. ("Sunshine Financial" or the "Holding Company"), a Maryland corporation, is the holding company for Sunshine Community Bank (the "Bank") and owns all the outstanding common stock of the Bank.

The Holding Company's only business is the operation of the Bank.  The Bank through its five banking offices provides a variety of retail community banking services to individuals and businesses primarily in Leon County, Florida. The Bank's deposits are insured up to the applicable limits by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Bank's subsidiary is Sunshine Member Insurance Services, Inc. ("SMSI"), which was established to sell automobile warranty, credit life and disability insurance products associated with loan products. Collectively the entities are referred to as the "Company."

These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 8-03 of Regulation S-X and do not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for a complete presentation of the Company's consolidated financial condition and consolidated results of operations.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) which are necessary in order to present fairly the consolidated financial position at June 30, 2017 and the results of operations for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016. It is recommended that these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on March 30, 2017 ("2016 Form 10-K").  The results of operations for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2017, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or for any other period.

2.   Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customer (Topic 606). In August 2015, FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) which postponed the effective date.  Subsequently, in March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations. This amendment clarifies that an entity should determine if it is the principal or the agent for each specified good or service promised in a contract with a customer. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing. The core principle of Topic 606 is that an entity must recognize revenue when it has satisfied a performance obligation of transferring promised goods or services to a customer. The standard is effective for public entities for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017; early adoption is not permitted. The standard allows for full retrospective adoption for all periods presented or modified retrospective adoption to only the most current period presented in the financial statements. The cumulative effect of initially applying the standard is recognized at the date of the initial application. The Company's primary

source of revenue is interest income from financial instruments which is scoped out of this ASU. The Company does not expect implementation of this standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-2, Leases (Topic 842) which will require lessees to recognize on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by those leases with term of more than twelve months. Consistent with current GAAP, the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee primarily will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease.  The new ASU will require both types of leases to be recognized on the balance sheet.  The ASU also will require disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. These disclosures include qualitative and quantitative requirements, providing additional information about the amounts recorded in the financial statements.  The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted.  The Company is in the process of determining the effect of the ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-13 Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326).  The ASU requires the Company to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Many of the loss estimation techniques applied today will still be permitted, although the inputs to those techniques will change to reflect the full amount of expected credit losses. The Company will continue to use judgment to determine which loss estimation method is appropriate for their circumstances. The ASU requires enhanced disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of an organization's portfolio.

These disclosures include qualitative and quantitative requirements that provide additional information about the amounts recorded in the financial statements. Additionally, the ASU amends the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. The ASU will take effect for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019.  Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of determining the effect of the ASU on its consolidated financial statements. Once adopted, we expect our allowance for loan losses to increase; however, until our evaluation is complete the magnitude of the increase will be unknown.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (continued)

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-08, Receivables - Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20):  Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. The ASU shortens the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium, the amendments require the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date.  The ASU will take effect for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018.  The adoption of ASU No. 2017-08 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, Compensation--Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting. The ASU was issued to provide clarity as to when to apply modification accounting when there is a change in the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. According to this ASU, an entity should account for the effects of a modification unless the fair value, vesting conditions, and balance sheet classification of the award is the same after the modification as compared to the original award prior to the modification. The standard is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU No. 2017-09 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

3.   Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Earnings (loss) per share ("EPS") has been computed on the basis of the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding. For the three- and six-months ended June 30, 2017, and the three-months ended June 30, 2016, the outstanding stock options are considered dilutive securities for purposes of calculating diluted EPS which was computed using the treasury stock method.   For the six-months ended June 30, 2016, the outstanding stock options were not considered dilutive securities due to the net loss incurred by the Company.  The shares purchased by the ESOP are included in the weighted-average shares when they are committed to be released ($ in thousands, except per share amounts):

At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the unrealized losses on eighteen securities and twenty-one securities, respectively are considered by management to be attributable to changes in market interest rates and not attributable to credit risk on the part of the issuer. Accordingly, if market rates were to decline, much or all of the decline in market value would likely be recovered through market appreciation. As management has the ability and intent to hold debt securities until maturity, or for the foreseeable future, no declines in the fair value below amortized cost are deemed to be other than temporary.

Real Estate Mortgage Loans.  Real estate mortgage loans are loans comprised of three classes: One- to four-family, Commercial real estate and Construction and lot loans. The Company generally originates one- to four-family mortgage loans in amounts up to 80% of the lesser of the appraised value or purchase price of a mortgaged property, but will also permit loan-to-value ratios of up to 95%. For one- to four-family loans exceeding an 80% loan-to-value ratio, the Company generally requires the borrower to obtain private mortgage insurance covering any loss on the amount of the loan in excess of 80% in the event of foreclosure. Commercial real estate loans are generally originated at 75% or less loan-to-value ratio and have amortization terms of up to 20 years and maturities of up to ten years.  Construction loans to borrowers are to finance the construction of one- to four-family and owner occupied properties. These loans are categorized as construction loans during the construction period, later converting to one-to-four family real estate loans after the construction is complete and amortization of the loan begins. Real estate construction loan funds are disbursed periodically based on the percentage of construction completed.  If the estimate of construction cost proves to be inaccurate, the Company may be compelled to advance additional funds to complete the construction with repayment dependent, in part, on the success of the ultimate project rather than the ability of a borrower to repay the loan.  The Company carefully monitors these loans with on-site inspections and requires the receipt of lien waivers on funds advanced. Construction loans are typically secured by the properties under construction. The Company also makes loans for the purchase of developed lots for future construction of the borrower's primary residence.  The Company will generally originate lot loans in an amount up to 75% of the lower of the purchase price or appraisal and have a maximum amortization of up to 20 years and maturities up to 20 years. Construction and lot loan lending is generally considered to involve a higher degree of credit risk than long-term permanent financing of residential properties.

Commercial Loans.  Commercial loans are comprised of non-real estate secured and unsecured loans.  The Company offers these commercial loans generally to its commercial real estate borrowers.

Consumer Loans.  Consumer loans are comprised of three classes: Home Equity, Automobile and Other, and Credit cards and unsecured.  The Company offers a variety of secured consumer loans, including home equity, new and used automobile, boat and other recreational vehicle loans, and loans secured by deposit accounts.  The Company also offers unsecured consumer loans including a credit card product.  The Company originates its consumer loans primarily in its market area.  Repayment of these loans is primarily dependent on the personal income of the borrowers, which can be impacted by economic conditions in their market areas such as unemployment levels. Loans to consumers are extended after a credit evaluation, including the creditworthiness of the borrower(s), the purpose of the credit, and the secondary source of repayment. Consumer loans are made at fixed and variable interest rates and may be made on terms of up to twenty years. Risk is mitigated by the fact that the loans are of smaller individual amounts and spread over a large number of borrowers.

Internally assigned loan grades are defined as follows:

Pass – A Pass loan's primary source of loan repayment is satisfactory, with secondary sources very likely to be realized if necessary.

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

Substandard – A Substandard loan is inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any.  Loans so classified must have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful – A loan classified Doubtful has all the weaknesses inherent in one classified Substandard with the added characteristics that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.

Loss – A loan classified Loss is considered uncollectible and of such little value that continuance as a bankable asset is not warranted.  This classification does not mean that the asset has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this basically worthless asset even though partial recovery may be affected in the future.

5.   Loans, Continued
The Company had no troubled debt restructurings (TDR) entered into during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 or 2016. The Company had no commitments to extend additional credit to borrowers whose terms have been modified in TDRs.

6.   Lines of Credit
The Company has an unsecured federal funds line of credit for $6.0 million with a correspondent bank and a $45.2 million line with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta collateralized by a blanket lien on qualifying loans. At June 30, 2017, the Company had $19.0 million outstanding in FHLB advances that mature in 2017 at a weighted average fixed rate of 1.16%.  At December 31, 2016, the Company had $12.75 million outstanding in FHLB advances that mature in 2017 at a weighted average fixed rate of 0.63%.  At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had no outstanding balances on the federal funds line of credit.

7.   Off-Balance-Sheet Financial Instruments
The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers.  These financial instruments are unused lines of credit and commitments to extend credit and may involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest-rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheets.  The contract amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in these financial instruments.

The Company's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for unused lines of credit and commitments to extend credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments.  The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

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 some of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.  The Company evaluates each customer's credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis.  The amount of collateral obtained if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit is based on management's credit evaluation of the counterparty.

Unused lines of credit and commitments to extend credit typically result in loans with a market interest rate when funded.  A summary of the amounts of the Company's financial instruments, with off-balance-sheet risk follows at June 30, 2017 (in thousands):

10.  Equity Incentive Plan, Continued
The Plan also authorizes the grant of up to 49,378 shares of restricted stock of which 4,078 shares were available for grant at June 30, 2017.  The restricted stock awarded under the Plan vests equally over five years from the date of grant. Restricted stock awards are forfeited if employment is terminated before the restriction period expires.  The record holder of the Holding Company's restricted stock possesses all the rights of a holder of the Holding Company common stock, including the right to receive dividends on and to vote the restricted stock. The restricted stock may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, encumbered, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated until they become fully vested and transferable in accordance with the agreements. Compensation expense for restricted stock totaled $37,000 for the three-months ended June 30, 2017 and $39,000 for the three-months ended June 30, 2016. Compensation expense for restricted stock totaled $77,000 for the six-months ended June 30, 2017 and $79,000 for the six-months ended June 30, 2016. The income tax benefit recognized was $14,000 and $15,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016, respectively, and $29,000 and $30,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016, respectively.

Pursuant to the capital regulations of the FDIC and the other federal banking agencies, the Bank must maintain a capital conservation buffer consisting of additional common equity tier 1 ("CET1") capital greater than 2.5% of risk-weighted assets above the required minimum levels of risk-based CET1 capital, tier 1 capital and total capital in order to avoid limitations on paying dividends, repurchasing shares, and paying discretionary bonuses.  For our fiscal year ending December 31, 2017, the capital conservation buffer rule requires a buffer of greater than 1.25% of risk-weighted assets, which amount will increase by 0.625% yearly until the requirement is fully phased-in on January 1, 2019, when the buffer must exceed 2.5% of risk-weighted assets.  As June 30, 2017, the Bank's CET1 capital exceeded the required capital conservation buffer.

SUNSHINE FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

General

Sunshine Financial, a Maryland corporation, is the holding company for its wholly owned subsidiary, Sunshine Community Bank.  Sunshine Community Bank was originally chartered as a credit union in 1952 as Sunshine State Credit Union to serve state government employees in the metropolitan Tallahassee area.  On July 1, 2007, we converted from a state-chartered credit union known as Sunshine State Credit Union to a federal mutual savings bank known as Sunshine Savings Bank, and in 2009 reorganized into the mutual holding company structure.  On April 5, 2011, the Company completed a public offering as part of Sunshine Saving Bank's conversion and reorganization from a mutual holding company to a public stock holding company structure.

On July 1, 2016, Sunshine Savings Bank completed its conversion from a federal savings bank charter to a Florida state bank charter, changing its name to Sunshine Community Bank.  As a Florida-chartered financial institution, the FOFR is the primary regulator for Sunshine Community Bank, with additional federal oversight provided by the FDIC.  Sunshine Financial is regulated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

We currently operate out of five full-service branch offices serving the Tallahassee, Florida metropolitan area.  Our principal business consists of attracting retail deposits from the general public and investing those funds in loans secured by first and second mortgages on one- to four-family residences (including residential construction loans), lot loans, commercial real estate loans, commercial business loans and consumer loans.  We offer a wide variety of secured and unsecured consumer loan products, including home equity, direct automobile loans and credit card loans in our market area.

We offer a variety of deposit accounts, which are our primary source of funding for our lending activities.  Our operations are significantly affected by prevailing economic conditions as well as government policies and regulations concerning, among other things, monetary and fiscal affairs, housing and financial institutions.  Deposit flows are influenced by a number of factors, including interest rates paid on competing time deposits, other investments, account maturities, and the overall level of personal income and savings.  Lending activities are influenced by the demand for funds, the number and quality of lenders, and regional economic cycles.  Sources of funds for lending activities include primarily deposits, borrowings, payments on loans and income provided from operations.

Our primary source of pre-tax income is net interest income. Net interest income is the difference between interest income, which is the income that we earn on our loans and investments, and interest expense, which is the interest that we pay on our deposits and borrowings. Changes in levels of interest rates affect our net interest income. A secondary source of income is noninterest income, which includes revenue we receive from providing products and services. Our noninterest expense has typically exceeded our net interest income and we have relied primarily upon noninterest income to supplement our net interest income and to achieve earnings.

Our operating expenses consist primarily of salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment, data processing services, and professional fees. Salaries and benefits consist primarily of the salaries and wages paid to our employees, payroll taxes, expenses for retirement and other employee benefits. Occupancy and equipment expenses, which are the fixed and variable costs of building and equipment, consist primarily of lease payments, taxes, depreciation, amortization expense, maintenance and costs of utilities.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company has identified several accounting policies that as a result of judgments, estimates and assumptions inherent in those policies, are critical to an understanding of the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Critical accounting policies and estimates are discussed in the Company's 2016 Form 10-K under Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation – Critical Accounting Policies." That discussion highlights estimates the Company makes that involve uncertainty or potential for substantial change. There have been no material changes in the Company's critical accounting policies and estimates as previously disclosed in the Company's 2016 Form 10-K.
Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016

General.  Total assets increased $10.7 million, or 6.2%, to $184.0 million at June 30, 2017 from $173.2 million at December 31, 2016 primarily funded by a $6.3 million increase in Federal Home Loan Bank advances, and a $3.6 million increase in deposits. The composition of total assets changed during the six months ended June 30, 2017 reflecting a $16.1 million increase in net loans, a $3.6 million decrease in cash and cash equivalents and a $1.7 million decrease in securities held to maturity.

Loans.  Our net loan portfolio increased $16.1 million, to $150.2 million at June 30, 2017 from $134.1 million at December 31, 2016.  The increase in loans was primarily due to a $15.2 million increase in total real estate loans, including a $10.6 million increase in commercial real estate loans, partially offset by small decreases in consumer and commercial business loans.

Allowance for Loan Losses.  Our allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2017 was $1.1 million, or 0.71% of loans, compared to $924,000, or 0.69% of loans, at December 31, 2016.  Nonperforming loans decreased to $1.6 million at June 30, 2017 compared to $2.5 million at December 31, 2016.  Nonperforming loans to total loans decreased to 1.03% at June 30, 2017 from 1.88% at December 31, 2016 as a result of both the increase in the net loan portfolio and a decrease in nonperforming loans.

Deposits.  Total deposits increased $3.6 million, or 2.6%, to $141.5 million at June 30, 2017 from $137.9 million at December 31, 2016.  This increase was due to a $1.4 million increase in noninterest bearing deposits, a $2.5 million increase money-market deposit accounts ("MMDA") and a $1.1 million increase in savings accounts, partially offset by a $1.4 million decrease in time deposits.

Borrowings.  Total FHLB borrowings increased $6.3 million, or 49.0%, to $19.0 million at June 30, 2017 from $12.8 million at December 31, 2016, providing additional funds for loan growth.

Equity.  Total stockholders' equity increased $315,000 to $22.0 million at June 30, 2017.  This increase was primarily due to net earnings of $216,000, and stock-based compensation of $100,000 for the six-months ended June 30, 2017.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended June 30, 2017 and 2016

General. Net earnings for the three months ended June 30, 2017 was $92,000 compared to net earnings of $6,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2016, resulting in an annualized return on average assets of 0.21% for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 0.02% for the three months ended June 30, 2016.  The increase in net earnings was due primarily to an increase in our net interest income slightly offset by decreases in noninterest income and increases noninterest expense.

Net Interest Income.  Net interest income increased $214,000, or 14.4%, to $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The increase was primarily due to a $252,000 increase in interest income, slightly offset by a $38,000 increase in interest expense.  The increase in interest income resulted primarily from an increase in average loans outstanding during the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016, partially offset by a decrease in our average yield on loans.  Our net interest rate spread decreased to 4.02% for the three months ended June 30, 2017 from 4.06% for the same period in 2016, while our net interest margin decreased to 4.12% from 4.13% between the same periods.  The ratio of average interest-earning assets to average interest-bearing liabilities for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 was 1.31x.

Interest Income. Interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2017 increased $252,000, or 16.0%, to $1.8 million compared to the three month period ended June 30, 2016.  The increase in interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2017 was primarily due to a $28.0 million increase in average loans outstanding during the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the three months ended 2016, partially offset by a 24 basis point decrease in our average yield on loans during the same period.  Average loans outstanding increased to $144.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017, from $116.9 million for the same period in 2016.  The average rate on loans decreased to 4.79% for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to 5.03% for the three months ended June 30, 2016.

Interest Expense. Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2017 increased $38,000, or 40.0% to $134,000 from $96,000 for the same period ended June 30, 2016.  The increase in interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2017 was primarily due to the cost of $17.1 million in average outstanding FHLB advances compared to $3.7 million outstanding during the same period in 2016.  The total cost of interest-bearing liabilities for the three months ended June 30, 2017 was 0.43% compared to 0.35% for the three months ended June 30, 2016.

Provision for Loan Losses.  We establish an allowance for loan losses by charging amounts to the loan provision at a level required to reflect estimated credit losses in the loan portfolio.  In evaluating the level of the allowance for loan losses, management considers, among other factors, historical loss experience, the types of loans and the amount of loans in the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect borrowers' ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral, prevailing economic conditions and current risk factors specifically related to each loan type.  See "- Critical Accounting Policies -- Allowance for Loan Loss" in our 2016 Form 10-K for a more detailed description of the manner in which the provision for loan losses is established.

SUNSHINE FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES


Based on management's evaluation of the foregoing factors, we recorded a provision for loan losses of $50,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $45,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2016.  The provision for loan losses primarily reflected historical and incurred/probable loan losses, the increase in the size of our loan portfolio as well as the change in the mix of loans, in particular the increase in our commercial real estate loan portfolio.  Net recoveries for the three months ended June 30, 2017 were $59,000 compared to net charge-offs of $47,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2016. Nonperforming loans to total loans at June 30, 2017 were 1.03% compared to 1.88% at December 31, 2016.  The allowance for loan losses to total loans was 0.71% at June 30, 2017 compared to 0.69% at December 31, 2016.

Management considers the allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2017 to be adequate to cover losses inherent in the loan portfolio based on the assessment of the above-mentioned factors affecting the loan portfolio. While management believes the estimates and assumptions used in its determination of the adequacy of the allowance are reasonable, there can be no assurance that such estimates and assumptions will not be proven incorrect in the future, or that the actual amount of future losses will not exceed the amount of the established allowance for loan losses or that any increased allowance for loan losses that may be required will not adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the determination of the amount of our allowance for loan losses is subject to review by bank regulators, as part of the routine examination process, which may result in additions to our provision for loan losses based upon their judgment of information available to them at the time of their examination.

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income for the three months ended June 30, 2017 decreased $54,000, or 11.1%, to $431,000 compared to $485,000 for the same period in 2016 as a result of  decreases in the gains on sales of loans and in other noninterest income, slightly offset by an increase in fees and charges on loans. The decrease in other income was due to the gain on sale of stock invested in a credit union service organization sold in 2016.  Management and the Board have continued its practice to retain most mortgage loans in portfolio in order to increase interest income in the long-term.    Management intends to continually review this strategy's effect on the Bank's interest-rate risk and recommend corrective action if deemed necessary.

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2017 increased $10,000, or 0.5%, as compared to the same period in 2016.  The largest increases were in data processing services, professional fees and other noninterest expense, partially offset by decreases in salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment and deposit insurance.  The increase in data processing was due to associated one-time costs for converting our credit card processing to a new company in 2017.  The decrease in salaries and employee benefits was due to an increase in deferred loan origination costs because of the increase in commercial real estate lending volume.  The decrease in occupancy and equipment expense was due to the sale of a branch office in December 2016 and the decrease in deposit insurance was due to lower FDIC insurance rates.

Income Taxes. For the three months ended June 30, 2017, we recorded income taxes of $67,000 on a before tax earnings of $159,000.  For the three months ended June 30, 2016, we recorded income taxes of $8,000 on before tax earnings of $14,000.  Our effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2017 was 42.1% compared to 57.1% for the same time period in 2016.

Comparison of the Six Months Ended June 30, 2017 and 2016

General. Net earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $216,000 compared to a net loss of $85,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2016, resulting in an annualized return (loss) on average assets of 0.25% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and (0.11)% for the six months ended June 30, 2016.  The increase in net earnings was due primarily to an increase in our net interest income and a decrease in noninterest expense.

Net Interest Income.  Net interest income increased $392,000, or 13.4%, to $3.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The increase was primarily due to a $449,000 increase in interest income, partially offset by a $57,000 increase in interest expense.  The increase in interest income resulted from an increase in average loans outstanding during the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2016, partially offset by a 26 basis point decrease in our average yield on loans.  Our net interest rate spread decreased to 4.01% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 from 4.02% for the same period in 2016, while our net interest margin remained at 4.11% at both June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016.  The ratio of average interest-earning assets to average interest-bearing liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 remained at 1.31x.

Interest Income. Interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2017 increased $449,000, or 14.4%, to $3.6 million compared to the six month period ended June 30, 2016.  The increase in interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was primarily due to a $26.3 million increase in average loans outstanding during the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2016, partially offset by a 26 basis point decrease in our average yield on loans during the same period.  Average loans outstanding increased to $141.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, from $115.3 million for the same period in 2016.  The average rate on loans decreased to 4.77% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to 5.03% for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Interest Expense. Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2017 increased $57,000, or 29.5% to $250,000 from $193,000 for the same period ended June 30, 2016.  The increase in interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was primarily due to the cost of $15.5 million in average outstanding FHLB advances compared to $4.3 million outstanding during the same period in 2016.  The total cost of interest-bearing liabilities for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was 0.41% compared to 0.36% for the same period in 2016.

Provision for Loan Losses.  We recorded a provision for loan losses of $105,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $90,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2016.  The provision for loan losses reflected historical and incurred loan losses, the increase in the size of our loan portfolio as well as the change in the mix of loans. Net recoveries for the six months ended June 30, 2017 were $48,000 compared to net charge-offs of $60,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Comparison of the Six Months Ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, Continued

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income for the six months ended June 30, 2017 remained relatively stable at $903,000 compared to $902,000 for the same period in 2016 primarily as a result of small decreases in fees and service charges on deposit accounts and in other noninterest income, offset by increases in gains on sale of foreclosed assets and in fees and charges on loans.  The decrease in other income was due to the gain on sale of stock invested in a credit union service organization sold in 2016. The increase in fees and charges on loans was a result of an increased volume of commercial real estate lending.

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2017 decreased $87,000, or 2.3%, to $3.8 million as compared to the same period in 2016.  The largest decreases were in salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment, and deposit insurance, partially offset by increases in data processing, professional fees, credit card expense and other noninterest expense.  The decrease in salaries and employee benefits was due to an increase in deferred loan origination costs because of the increase in commercial real estate lending volume.  The decrease in occupancy and equipment expense was due to the sale of a branch office in December 2016 and the decrease in deposit insurance was due to lower FDIC insurance rates.  The increase in data processing and credit card expense was due to converting our credit card processing to a new company in 2017 and the issuance of new credit cards for all customers.

Income Taxes. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, we recorded an income tax expense of $140,000 on before tax earnings of $356,000.  For the six months ended June 30, 2016, we recorded an income tax benefit of $24,000 on a before tax loss of $109,000.  Our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was 39.3% compared to an effective tax benefit rate of 22.0% for the same time period in 2016.

Liquidity
Liquidity describes our ability to meet the financial obligations that arise in the ordinary course of business.  Liquidity is primarily needed to meet the borrowing and deposit withdrawal requirements of our customers and to fund current and planned expenditures.  Our primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest payments on loans and securities, FHLB advances, and proceeds from maturities and calls of securities.  The Company has an unsecured federal funds line of credit for $6.0 million with a correspondent bank and a $45.2 million line with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta collateralized by a blanket lien on qualifying loans. At June 30, 2017 the Company had $19.0 million outstanding in FHLB advances that mature in 2017 at a weighted average fixed rate of 1.16%.  At December 31, 2016, the Company had $12.8 million outstanding in FHLB advances that mature in 2017 at a weighted average fixed rate of 0.63%.
While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions, and competition. Our most liquid assets are cash and short-term investments including interest-bearing demand deposits. The levels of these assets are dependent on our operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any given period.
 
32


 
 
 

SUNSHINE FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Our cash flows are comprised of three primary classifications: cash flows from operating activities, investing activities, and financing activities.  For the six-months ended June 30, 2017, cash provided by operating activities totaled $1.5 million.  Net cash used by investing activities, which consists primarily of disbursements for loan originations, offset by principal collections on loans and proceeds from pay-downs on securities, totaled $14.9 million for the six-months ended June 30, 2017.  Net cash provided by financing activities, consisting primarily of the activity in FHLB advances and deposit accounts, was $9.8 million for the six-months ended June 30, 2017.
In addition to its operating expenses, the Company is responsible for paying any dividends declared to its shareholders and funds paid out for Company stock repurchases, when and if declared by the Board.  The Company has the ability to receive dividends or capital distributions from the Bank, although there are regulatory restrictions on the ability of the Bank to pay dividends.

On June 28, 2017, with the approval of the FDIC, the Bank repurchased shares from the Holding Company totaling $2.0 million.  The effect of this transaction was to increase cash at the Holding Company and decrease the Holding Company's investment in the Bank.  At June 30, 2017, the Company (on an unconsolidated basis) had liquid assets of $2.3 million.

We are committed to maintaining a strong liquidity position.  We monitor our liquidity position on a daily basis.  We anticipate that we will have sufficient funds to meet our current funding commitments.  Based on our deposit retention experience and current pricing strategy, we anticipate that a significant portion of maturing time deposits will be retained.
Off-Balance Sheet Activities
In the normal course of operations, we engage in a variety of financial transactions that are not recorded in our financial statements.  These transactions involve varying degrees of off-balance sheet credit, interest rate and liquidity risks.  These transactions are used primarily to manage customers' requests for funding and take the form of loan commitments and lines of credit.  For the six-months ended June 30, 2017, we engaged in no off-balance sheet transactions likely to have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.  A summary of our off-balance sheet commitments at June 30, 2017, is as follows (in thousands):
Unused lines of credit

21,838
 
Commitments to extend credit

SUNSHINE FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES


Consistent with our goals to operate a sound and profitable organization, our policy is for Sunshine Community Bank to maintain a "well-capitalized" status under the capital categories of the Bank regulations.  At June 30, 2017, Sunshine Community Bank exceeded all regulatory capital requirements to be categorized as well capitalized under applicable regulatory guidelines with a CET1 capital ratio of 12.26% of risk-weighted assets, which is above the required level of 6.5%, a Tier 1 leverage capital level of 9.91% of adjusted total assets, which is above the required level of 5.00%, Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets of 12.26%, which is above the required level of 8.00% and total risk-based capital to risk-weighted assets of 13.03%, which is above the required level of 10.00%.

Management is not aware of any conditions or events that would change our category. For additional information see Note 12 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item1, Part 1 of this Form 10-Q.

At June 30, 2017, stockholders' equity at Sunshine Community Bank totaled $19.5 million. Management monitors the capital levels of Sunshine Community Bank to provide for current and future business opportunities and to meet regulatory guidelines for "well-capitalized" institutions.
For a bank holding company with less than $1.0 billion in assets, the capital guidelines apply on a bank only basis and the Federal Reserve expects the holding company's subsidiary banks to be well capitalized under the prompt corrective action regulations.  If Sunshine Financial was subject to regulatory guidelines for bank holding companies with $1.0 billion or more in assets, at June 30, 2017 Sunshine Financial would have exceeded all regulatory capital requirements.
Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

The Company provided information about market risk in Item 7A of its 2016 Form 10-K.  There have been no material changes in our market risk since our 2016 Form 10-K.

 Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

(a)     Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

An evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Act")) as of June 30, 2017, was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and several other members of the Company's senior management.  Based on this evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures in effect as of June 30, 2017, were effective in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Act is: (i) accumulated and communicated to the Company's management (including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) in a timely manner and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms.

SUNSHINE FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

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

(b)
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
