Form 10-Q

 

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited – Dollars in Thousands)

 

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited financial statements of First Federal Bank of Wisconsin (the “Bank”) were prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X and do not include information or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial condition, results of operations, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements have been included. The results of operations for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire year. These statements should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2016 included in the Form S-1 of FFBW, Inc. as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Reference is made to the accounting policies of the Bank described in the Notes to the Financial Statements contained in the Form S-1.

 

In preparing the financial statements, the Bank is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the Bank’s financial condition, results of operations, comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the interim periods presented. These adjustments are of a normal recurring nature and include appropriate estimated provisions.

 

Note 2 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Emerging Growth Company Status

The Company qualifies as an “emerging growth company” under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). For as long as the Company is an emerging growth company, it may choose to take advantage of exemptions from various reporting requirements applicable to other public companies. An emerging growth company may elect to use the extended transition period to delay adoption of new or revised accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies until such pronouncements are made applicable to private companies, but must make such election when the Company is first required to file a registration statement. The Company has elected to use the extended transition period described above and intends to maintain its emerging growth company status as allowed under the JOBS Act.

 

In June 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Credit Losses (Topic 326).” ASU 2016-13 requires organizations to measure all expected credit losses for financial instruments held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption will be permitted for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Bank is currently assessing the impact of adopting ASU 2016-13 on its financial statements.

 

In January 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, “Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”. The standard makes a number of changes to the recognition and measurement standards of financial instruments, including the following changes: 1) equity securities with a readily determinable fair value will have to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income; 2) entities that are public business entities will no longer be required to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost; and 3) entities that are public business entities will be required to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes. This standard is effective for financial statements issued for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations, except that the Bank will no longer disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost.

 

 8 

 

 

In May 2014, FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”. The amendment supersedes and replaces nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance. Under the amended guidance, an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. In August 2015, FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14 Revenue from Contracts with Customer (Topic 606), Deferral of the Effective Date. The amendment defers the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09 by one year. Adoption of ASU No. 2014-09 and ASU 2015-14 is not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements, but significant disclosures to the Notes thereto will be required.

The Bank held 51 securities with aggregate depreciation of approximately 1.4% from the Bank’s amortized cost basis at June 30, 2017 and 66 securities with aggregate depreciation of approximately 2% from the Bank’s amortized cost basis at December 31, 2016. It is the opinion of management that the unrealized losses are a result of fluctuations in prevailing interest rates and a decrease in market liquidity and not an impairment in the credit quality of the investment. In addition, the Bank does not have the intent to sell the securities, and it is more likely than not that it will not be required to sell the securities before the recovery of the losses. Based on this information, management believes the unrealized losses are temporary in nature.

 

The amortized cost and fair value of held to maturity securities by contractual maturity are shown below. Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities in mortgage-backed securities since the anticipated maturities are not readily determinable. Therefore, these securities are not included in the maturity categories in the following maturity summary listed below:

 

   June 30, 2017 
   Amortized Cost   Fair Value 
Due in one year or less  $912   $916 
Due after one year through 5 years   9,375    9,461 
Due after 5 years through 10 years   5,153    5,220 
Due after 10 years   7,698    7,721 
           
Subtotal  $23,138   $23,318 
Mortgage-backed securities   22,930    22,763 
           
Total  $46,068   $46,081

Proceeds from sales of securities available for sale during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and the year ended December 31, 2016 were $5,906 and $9,484, respectively. Gross realized gains, during the six months ended June 30, 2017 the year ended December 31, 2016 on these sales amounted to $83 and $132, respectively. Gross realized losses on these sales were $61 and $4, during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and year ended December 31, 2016, respectively.

 

No securities were pledged at June 30, 2017 or December 31, 2016.

 

Note 4 – Loans

 

Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff, generally are generally reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances adjusted for charge-offs and the allowance for loan losses. Interest on loans is accrued and credited to income based on the unpaid principal balance. Loan-origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized as an adjustment of the related loan yield using the interest method.

 

The accrual of interest on loans is discontinued when, in the opinion of management, there is an indication the borrower may be unable to make payments as they become due. When loans are placed on nonaccrual or charged off, all unpaid accrued interest is reversed against interest income. The interest on these loans is subsequently accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

 

Allowance for Loan Losses

 

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at the level considered adequate by management to provide for losses that are probable. The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged to expense as losses are estimated to have occurred. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes that the collectability of the principal is unlikely. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

 

Management regularly evaluates the allowance for loan losses using the Bank’s past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, composition of the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral, current economic conditions, and other relevant factors. This evaluation is inherently subjective since it requires material estimates that may be susceptible to significant change.

 

A loan is impaired when, based on current information, it is probable that the Bank will not collect all amounts due in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Management determines whether a loan is impaired on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration the payment status, collateral value, length and reason of any payment delays, the borrower’s prior payment record, and any other relevant factors. Large groups of smaller-balance homogeneous loans, such as residential mortgage and consumer loans, are collectively evaluated in the allowance for loan losses analysis and are not subject to impairment analysis unless such loans have been subject to a restructuring agreement. Specific allowances for impaired loans are based on discounted cash flows of expected future payments using the loan’s initial effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.

No additional funds are committed to be advanced in connection with impaired loans.

 

The Bank regularly evaluates various attributes of loans to determine the appropriateness of the allowance for loan losses. The credit quality indicators monitored differ depending on the class of loan. 

 

Commercial loans are generally evaluated using the following internally prepared ratings:

 

“Pass” ratings are assigned to loans with adequate collateral and debt service ability such that collectability of the contractual loan payments is highly probable.

 

“Special mention” ratings are assigned to loans where management has some concern that the collateral or debt service ability may not be adequate, though the collectability of the contractual loan payments is still probable.

 

“Substandard” ratings are assigned to loans that do not have adequate collateral and/or debt service ability such that collectability of the contractual loan payments is no longer probable.

  

“Doubtful” ratings are assigned to loans that do not have adequate collateral and/or debt service ability, and collectability of the contractual loan payments is unlikely.

 

Residential real estate and consumer loans are generally evaluated based on whether or not the loan is performing according to the contractual terms of the loan.

There were no loans past due ninety days or more and still accruing interest as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

 

When, for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower’s financial difficulties, the Bank grants a concession to the borrower that the Bank would not otherwise consider, the modified loan is classified as a troubled debt restructuring. Loan modifications may consist of forgiveness of interest and/or principal, a reduction of the interest rate, interest-only payments for a period of time, and/or extending amortization terms. During the six months ended and as of June 30, 2017, there was new troubled debt restructurings totaling $88 on two one-to-four family residential real estate loans that had balances totaling $88 pre-modification.

 

Three troubled debt restructurings totaling $419 defaulted within 12 months of their modification date during the six months ended June 30, 2017 consisting of 1-4 family investor-owned properties.

Note 5 – Regulatory Capital Ratios

 

The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by 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 that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

 

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of Common Equity Tier 1, Tier 1, and Total capital to risk-weighted assets and of Tier 1 capital to average assets. It is management's opinion, as of December 31, 2016 and as of June 30, 2017, that the Bank meets all applicable capital adequacy requirements.

 

As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Bank is categorized as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum regulatory capital ratios as set forth in the table. There are no conditions or events since June 30, 2017 that management believes have changed the Bank's category.

 

The Bank's actual capital amounts and ratios are presented in the following tables:

Note 6 – Fair Value Measurements

 

Accounting standards describe three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value (the fair value hierarchy). The level of an asset or liability within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input significant to the fair value measurement of that asset or liability.

 

Following is a brief description of each level of the fair value hierarchy:

 

Level 1 - Fair value measurement is based on quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

 

Level 2 - Fair value measurement is based on: (1) quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; (2) quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or (3) valuation models and methodologies for which all significant assumptions are or can be corroborated by observable market data.

 

Level 3 - Fair value measurement is based on valuation models and methodologies that incorporate at least one significant assumption that cannot be corroborated by observable market data. Level 3 measurements reflect the Bank’s estimates about assumptions market participants would use in measuring fair value of the asset or liability.

 

 17 

 

 

Some assets and liabilities, such as securities available for sale, are measured at fair value on a recurring basis under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Other assets and liabilities, such as impaired loans, may be measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.

 

Following is a description of the valuation methodology used for each asset measured at fair value on a recurring or nonrecurring basis, as well as the classification of the asset within the fair value hierarchy. 

 

Available for sale securities – Available for sale securities may be classified as Level 1 or Level 2 measurements within the fair value hierarchy. Level 1 securities include equity securities traded on a national exchange. The fair value measurement of a Level 1 security is based on the quoted price of the security. Level 2 securities include U.S. government and agency securities, obligations of states and political subdivisions, corporate debt securities, and mortgage-related securities. The fair value measurement of a Level 2 security is obtained from an independent pricing service and is based on recent sales of similar securities and other observable market data.

 

Information regarding the fair value of assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 follows:

December 31, 2016                    
Assets - Available for sale securities   48,613    -    48,613    - 

  

Loans - Loans are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis. However, loans considered to be impaired may be measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. The fair value measurement of an impaired loan that is collateral dependent is based on the fair value of the underlying collateral. Independent appraisals are obtained that utilize one or more valuation methodologies - typically they will incorporate a comparable sales approach and an income approach. Management routinely evaluates the fair value measurements of independent appraisers and adjusts those valuations based on differences noted between actual selling prices of collateral and the most recent appraised value. Such adjustments are usually significant, which results in a Level 3 classification. All other impaired loan measurements are based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the applicable effective interest rate and, thus, are not fair value measurements.

 

Foreclosed assets - Real estate acquired through or in lieu of loan foreclosure are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis. However, foreclosed assets are initially measured at fair value (less estimated costs to sell) when they are acquired and may also be measured at fair value (less estimated costs to sell) if they become subsequently impaired. The fair value measurement for each asset may be obtained from an independent appraiser or prepared internally. Fair value measurements obtained from independent appraisers generally utilize a market approach based on sales of comparable assets and/or an income approach. Such measurements are usually considered Level 2 measurements. However, management routinely evaluates fair value measurements of independent appraisers by comparing actual selling prices to the most recent appraisals. If management determines significant adjustments should be made to the independent appraisals based on these evaluations, these measurements are considered Level 3 measurements. Fair value measurements prepared internally are based on management’s comparisons to sales of comparable assets, but include significant unobservable data and are therefore considered Level 3 measurements.

Loans with a carrying amount of $1,269 were considered impaired and were written down to their estimated fair value of $1,170 as of June 30, 2017. As a result, the Bank recognized a specific valuation allowance against these impaired loans totaling $99 during the six months ended June 30, 2017. The loans were valued based on the value of the underlying collateral, adjusted for selling costs. The fair value of collateral is determined based on appraisals, broker price opinions, or automated valuation models. In some cases, adjustments were made to these values due to various factors including age of the appraisal, age of the comparable and other known changes in the market and in the collateral. When significant adjustments were based on unobservable inputs, the resulting fair value measurement has been categorized as a Level 3 measurement.

 

Foreclosed assets with a carrying amount of $770 and $667 were determined to be at their fair value as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

 

The Bank estimates fair value of all financial instruments regardless of whether such instruments are measured at fair value. The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company to estimate fair value of financial instruments not previously discussed.

 

Cash and cash equivalents - Fair value approximates the carrying value.

 

Loans held for sale - Fair value is based on commitments on hand from investors or prevailing market prices.

 

Loans - Fair value of variable rate loans that reprice frequently is based on carrying values. Fair value of other loans is estimated by discounting future cash flows using current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings. Fair value of impaired and other nonperforming loans is estimated using discounted expected future cash flows or the fair value of underlying collateral, if applicable.

 

FHLB stock - Fair value is the redeemable (carrying) value based on the redemption provisions of the Federal Home Loan Bank.

 

Accrued interest receivable and payable - Fair value approximates the carrying value.

 

Cash value of life insurance - Fair value is based on reported values of the assets.

 

Deposits and advance payments by borrowers for taxes and insurance - Fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as demand deposits, savings, and money market accounts, including advance payments by borrowers for taxes and insurance, by definition, is the amount payable on demand on the reporting date. Fair value of fixed rate time deposits is estimated using discounted cash flows applying interest rates currently being offered on similar time deposits.

 

FHLB advances - Fair value of fixed rate, fixed term borrowings is estimated by discounting future cash flows using the current rates at which similar borrowings would be made. Fair value of borrowings with variable rates or maturing within 90 days approximates the carrying value of these borrowings.

 

 19 

 

 

Off-balance-sheet instruments - Fair value is based on quoted market prices of similar financial instruments where available. If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreement and the counterparty’s credit standing. Since the estimated fair value of off-balance-sheet instruments is not material, no amounts are presented in the following schedule.

 

The carrying value and estimated fair value of financial instruments at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 follow:

Limitations - The fair value of a financial instrument is the current amount that would be exchanged between market participants, other than in a forced liquidation. Fair value is best determined based on quoted market prices. However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Bank’s various financial instruments. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument. Consequently, the aggregate fair value amounts presented may not necessarily represent the underlying fair value of the Bank.

Note 7 – Plan of Reorganization

 

On June 14, 2017, the Board of Directors of the Bank adopted a Plan of Reorganization from a Mutual Savings Bank to a Mutual Holding Company and Stock Issuance Plan (the “Plan”).  The Plan is subject to the approval of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and must be approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the total votes eligible to be cast by the voting members of the Bank at a special meeting.  Pursuant to the Plan, the Bank proposes to reorganize into a mutual holding company form of ownership.  The Bank will convert to a stock savings bank and issue all of its outstanding stock to the Company.  Pursuant to the Plan, the Company will sell stock to the public, with the total offering value and number of shares of common stock based upon an independent appraiser’s valuation.  The stock will be priced at $10.00 per share.  In addition, the Bank’s Board of Directors will adopt an employee stock ownership plan (“ESOP”), which will subscribe for up to 3.92% of the common stock of the Company to be outstanding upon the completion of the reorganization and stock issuance.  The Company will be organized as a corporation under the laws of the United States and will offer 45% of its common stock to be outstanding to the Bank’s eligible members, the ESOP and certain other persons, including shares contributed to a charitable foundation being established and funded by the Bank in connection with mutual holding company reorganization. FFBW, MHC will be organized as a mutual holding company under the laws of the United States and will own 55% of the Company’s common stock to be outstanding upon completion of the reorganization and stock issuance.  

 

The cost of the reorganization and the issuing of the common stock will be deferred and deducted from the sales proceeds of the offering.

 

Note 8 – Subsequent Events

 

Management has reviewed operations for potential disclosure of information or financial statement impacts related to events occurring after June 30, 2017 but prior to the release of these financial statements. The following events are considered significant: As a result of the Plan, the Company has received $33,948,000 in orders and will issue $29,596,250. The cost of the reorganization and the issuing of the common stock will be deferred and deducted from the sales proceeds of the offering. Additionally, the former branch office located in downtown Waukesha was donated to a local not-for-profit, La Casa de Esperanza, in July 2017, resulting in an expense of approximately 283,000.

 

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

 

General

Critical Accounting Policies

 

There are no material changes to the critical accounting policies disclosed in the Company’s Prospectus dated August 14, 2017, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Securities Act Rule 424(b)(3) on August 23, 2017.

 

Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016

 

Total Assets. Total assets decreased $5.4 million, or 2.2%, to $236.2 million at June 30, 2017 from $241.6 million at December 31, 2016. The decrease resulted primarily from decreases in available for sale securities of $2.5 million, in net loans of $645,000, in FHLB stock of $833,000 and in cash and cash equivalents of $1.1 million. 

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents decreased $1.1 million, or 16.4%, to $5.8 million at June 30, 2017 from $6.9 million at December 31, 2016. The decrease resulted primarily from normal fluctuations and seasonal deposit outflow.

 

Net Loans.  Net loans decreased $645,000, or 0.39%, to $166.3 million at June 30, 2017 from $167.0 million at December 31, 2016. The decrease resulted from decreases of $2.8 million, or 5.5%, in one-to-four family owner-occupied loans, $1.2 million, or 3.5%, in one-to four-family investor-owned loans, offset in part by an increase of $4.8 million, or 11.4%, in commercial real estate loans. Additionally, loans-in-process increased $1.8 million, or 80.1%.

 

In 2015, we restructured our residential lending underwriting operations in order to increase the amount of conforming loans that we originate and sell to the secondary market. As a result of this restructuring, during the quarter ended June 30, 2017, we sold $2.3 million of loans, all of which were one- to four-family owner-occupied residential real estate loans, on a servicing-released basis. Subject to market and economic conditions, management intends to continue this sales activity in future periods to generate gain on sale of loans income.

 

Available for sale securities. Available for sale securities decreased $2.5 million, or 5.2%, to $46.1 million at June 30, 2017 from $48.6 million at December 31, 2016.

 

FHLB stock. The FHLB repurchased $833,000 of its stock during the first six months of 2017, reducing the balance 61.8% from $1.3 million to $514,000.

 

Deposits.  Deposits increased $978,000, or 0.53%, to $185.7 million at June 30, 2017 from $184.6 million at December 31, 2016. Noninterest-bearing checking accounts increased $6.9 million, or 54.1%, to $19.6 million as of June 30, 2017 compared to $12.7 million as of December 31, 2016. Interest-bearing checking accounts decreased $5.9 million, or 74.3%, to $2.0 million at June 30, 2017 from $7.9 million at December 31, 2016. Additionally, money market accounts increased $4.0 million, or 6.8%, to $62.5 million at June 30, 2017, compared to $58.5 million at December 31, 2016, while savings accounts and escrow increased $2.5 million to $12.1 million at June 30, 2017, compared to $9.6 million at December 31, 2016. The change in balances between categories was due in large part to a consolidation and restructuring of deposit accounts in March 2017. During the six months ended June 30, 2017 we continued to allow the run-off of higher-priced certificates of deposit which we acquired from our merger with Bay View Federal, which resulted in a decrease of $6.5 million, or 7.7%, in certificates of deposit, to $78.0 million as of June 30, 2017 from $84.5 million as of December 31, 2016.

 

Borrowings. Borrowings, consisting entirely of FHLB advances, totaled $14.8 million at June 30, 2017 compared to $21.3 million at December 31, 2016. The aggregate cost of outstanding advances from the FHLB was 1.23% at June 30, 2017, compared to the Bank’s cost of deposits of 0.72% at that date.

 

 23 

 

 

Other liabilities. Other liabilities decreased $193,000, or 12.0%, to $1.4 million at June 30, 2017 from $1.6 million at December 31, 2016.

 

Total Equity.  Total equity increased $324,000, 1.0%, to $34.3 million at June 30, 2017 from $34.0 million at December 31, 2016. The increase resulted from net income of $192,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and the net change in the value of the available for sale securities during the period.

 

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

 

General.  We had net income of $111,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017, compared to net income of $197,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2016, a decrease of $86,000, or 43.7%. The decrease in net income was the net effect of a decrease in net interest income of $65,000, or 3.5%, an increase of $30,000, or 136.4%, in provision for loan losses and an increase of $80,000, or 4.7%, in noninterest expense, offset in part by an increase of $43,000, or 28.1%, in noninterest income.

 

Interest and dividend income. Interest and dividend income decreased $87,000, or 3.9%, to $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 from $2.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The decrease was primarily attributable to a $49,000 decrease in interest on loans resulting from a decrease of $6.3 million in the average balance of loans quarter to quarter, as well as a $32,000 decrease in interest on available for sale securities, due to a decrease in the average balance of available for sale securities of $2.1 million period to period.

 

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $22,000, or 5.4%, to $389,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017, from $411,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2016. Interest expense on borrowings, consisting entirely of FHLB advances, decreased $10,000, or 14.3%, to $60,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2017 from $70,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2016, as the average balance of borrowings decreased $4.3 million to $19.8 million for the 2017 quarter from $24.1 million for the 2016 quarter, although the cost of borrowings increased five basis points to 1.21% for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 from 1.16% for the quarter ended June 30, 2016.  Interest expense on interest-bearing deposits decreased $12,000 quarter to quarter. The average cost of our interest-bearing deposits increased three basis points to 0.81% from 0.78% while the average balance of interest-bearing deposits decreased by $11.1 million, or 6.4%, during the same period.

 

Net Interest Income.  Net interest income decreased $65,000, or 3.5%, to $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 from $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016. Average net interest-earning assets increased $6.4 million to $31.3 million for the 2017 quarter from $24.9 million for the 2016 quarter. The increase in average net earning assets was due primarily to an increase in noninterest-bearing deposits. Our net interest rate spread decreased to 3.20% for the three months ended June 30, 2017 from 3.22% for the three months ended June 30, 2016, and our net interest margin increased to 3.33% for the 2017 quarter from 3.31% for the 2016 quarter.

 

Provision for Loan Losses.  We recorded a provision for loan losses of $52,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017, compared to a $22,000 provision for the three months ended June 30, 2016. Beginning in 2016, our new executive management conducted a thorough credit administration and loan underwriting analysis which resulted in enhanced loan policies, including updated loan modification and foreclosed assets policies. The implementation of these policies provided us with better information about our assets and allowed us to more quickly identify problem assets and assess the costs required to extend, modify, and hold troubled loans and real estate. In addition, our board of directors and management determined that an expedited approach to resolving certain problem assets was warranted and determined to sell certain assets and loans, accepting current losses, rather than incur the time and expense of carrying and managing these assets. The increase in the provision for loan losses in the 2017 quarter compared to the 2016 quarter resulted from the afore-mentioned analyses. The allowance for loan losses was $1.5 million, or 0.88% of total loans, at June 30, 2017, compared to $1.5 million, or 0.90% of total loans, at June 30, 2016. Classified (substandard, doubtful and loss) loans decreased to $1.8 million at June 30, 2017 from $3.3 million at June 30, 2016. Total nonperforming loans decreased to $1.8 million at June 30, 2017 from $3.1 million at June 30, 2016. Net charge-offs for the three months ended June 30, 2017 were $11,000, compared to $38,000 for the prior year period. At June 30, 2017, $0.9 million, or 51.9%, of the nonperforming loans were contractually current.

Noninterest IncomeNoninterest income increased $43,000, or 28.1%, to $196,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 from $153,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The increase resulted primarily from a gain on sale of securities of $23,000, as well as other income of $12,000 consisting of rental income from our Brookfield branch office and a repossessed property. 

 

Noninterest Expense.  Noninterest expense increased $80,000, or 4.7%, to $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 from $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The increase was due primarily to an increase of $69,000, or 7.3%, in salaries and employee benefits, to $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 from $957,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The increase resulted from an increase in full-time equivalent employees during 2016 as well as normal salary increases. Additionally, occupancy and equipment increased $16,000, or 6.7%, due to increased building maintenance. Professional services increased $21,000 during the 2017 quarter as a result of consulting expenses incurred to enhance information security. These increases were offset in part by a decrease of $29,000, or 16.8%, in data processing expense, resulting from the renegotiated contract with the core processor.

 

Upon consummation of the reorganization and stock offering, we expect our noninterest expense to increase because of costs associated with operating as a public company and increased compensation costs related to possible implementation of a stock-based benefit plan, if approved by our stockholders. 

 

Income Tax Expense.  We recorded an income tax expense of $21,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to an income tax expense of $67,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2016, a decrease of $46,000, or 68.7%. The decrease reflected a decrease of $132,000 in income before income taxes to $132,000 for the 2017 quarter from $264,000 for the 2016 quarter.

 

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

 

General.  We had net income of $192,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to net income of $456,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2016, a decrease of $264,000, or 57.9%. The decrease in net income was the net effect of a decrease in net interest income of $199,000, or 5.3%, an increase of $70,000, or 212.1%, in provision for loan losses and an increase of $178,000 in noninterest expense, offset in part by an increase of $91,000, or 29.9%, in noninterest income.

 

Interest and dividend income. Interest and dividend income decreased $249,000, or 5.5%, to $4.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 from $4.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The decrease was primarily attributable to a $185,000 decrease in interest on loans resulting from a decrease of $7.1 million in the average balance of loans period to period, as well as a $55,000 decrease in interest on available for sale securities, due to a decrease in the average balance of available for sale securities of $2.0 million period to period.

 

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $50,000, or 6.1%, to $766,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017, from $816,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2016. Interest expense on borrowings, consisting entirely of FHLB advances, decreased $24,000, or 16.9%, to $118,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2017 from $142,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2016, as the average balance of borrowings decreased $4.9 million to $19.0 million for the 2017 period from $23.9 million for the 2016 period, although the cost of borrowings increased five basis points to 1.24% for the 2017 period from 1.19% for the 2016 period.  Interest expense on interest-bearing deposits decreased $26,000 period to period. The average cost of our interest-bearing deposits increased one basis point to 0.78% from 0.77%, while the average balance of interest-bearing deposits decreased by $8.6 million, or 4.9%, during the same period.

 

Net Interest Income.  Net interest income decreased $199,000, or 5.3%, to $3.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 from $3.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. Average net interest-earning assets increased $3.8 million to $28.6 million for the 2017 period from $24.8 million for the 2016 period. The increase in net interest-earning assets was due primarily to a shift from interest-bearing deposits to noninterest-bearing deposits as well as a decrease in borrowings. Our net interest rate spread decreased to 3.21% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 from 3.26% for the six months ended June 30, 2016, and our net interest margin decreased to 3.32% for the 2017 period from 3.35% for the 2016 period.

Provision for Loan Losses.  We recorded a provision for loan losses of $103,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to a $33,000 provision for the six months ended June 30, 2016. Beginning in 2016, our new executive management conducted a thorough credit administration and loan underwriting analysis which resulted in enhanced loan policies, including updated loan modification and foreclosed assets policies. The implementation of these policies provided us with better information about our assets and allowed us to more quickly identify problem assets and assess the costs required to extend, modify, and hold troubled loans and real estate. In addition, our board of directors and management determined that an expedited approach to resolving certain problem assets was warranted and determined to sell certain assets and loans, accepting current losses, rather than incur the time and expense of carrying and managing these assets. The increase in the provision for loan losses in the 2017 period compared to the 2016 period resulted from the increase in charge-offs year to year, resulting from the afore-mentioned analyses. The allowance for loan losses was $1.5 million, or 0.88% of total loans, at June 30, 2017, compared to $1.5 million, or 0.90% of total loans, at June 30, 2016. Classified (substandard, doubtful and loss) loans decreased to $1.8 million at June 30, 2017 from $3.3 million at June 30, 2016. Total nonperforming loans decreased to $1.8 million at June 30, 2017 from $3.1 million at June 30, 2016. Net charge-offs for the six months ended June 30, 2017 were $62,000, compared to $38,000 for the prior year period. At June 30, 2017, $0.9 million, or 51.9%, of the nonperforming loans were contractually current.

 

Noninterest IncomeNoninterest income increased $91,000, or 29.9%, to $395,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 from $304,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The increase was due to increased gains on the sale of loans of $51,000, an increase in the gain on sale of securities of $17,000, an increase in other income of $14,000 consisting of rental income from a real estate owned property, and an increase in fee income of $9,000.

 

Noninterest Expense.  Noninterest expense increased $178,000, or 5.2%, to $3.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 from $3.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The increase was due primarily to an increase of $123,000, or 6.4%, in salaries and employee benefits, to $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 from $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The increase resulted from an increase in full-time equivalent employees during 2016 as well as normal salary increases. Additionally, occupancy and equipment increased $43,000, or 8.6%, due to increased building maintenance. Professional services increased $44,000 during the 2017 period as a result of consulting expenses incurred to enhance information security. Expenses for foreclosed assets increased $18,000, or 207.1%, to $27,000 in 2017 from $9,000 in the 2016 period. These increases were offset in part by a decrease of $44,000, or 12.7%, in data processing expense, resulting from the renegotiated contract with the core processor.

 

Upon consummation of the reorganization and stock offering, we expect non-interest expense to increase because of costs associated with operating as a public company and increased compensation costs related to possible implementation of a stock-based benefit plan, if approved by our stockholders. 

 

Income Tax Expense.  We recorded an income tax expense of $23,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to an income tax expense of $115,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2016, a decrease of $92,000 or 80.0%. The decrease was the result of a decrease of $356,000 in income before income taxes to $215,000 for the 2017 period from $571,000 for the 2016 period.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources. 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, proceeds from the sale of loans, and proceeds from maturities of securities. We also have the ability to borrow from the FHLB-Chicago. At June 30, 2017, we had $14.8 million outstanding in advances from the FHLB-Chicago. At June 30, 2017, due to the FHLB-Chicago’s repurchase of its stock, we had no available additional FHLB-Chicago advances.

 

Additionally, at June 30, 2017 we had a $7.0 million federal funds rate line of credit with the Bankers’ Bank of Wisconsin, of which $0 was drawn at June 30, 2017.

 

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 cash equivalents and available for sale investment securities. The levels of these assets are dependent on our operating, financing, lending, and investing activities during any given period.

Our cash flows are comprised of three primary classifications: cash flows from operating activities, investing activities, and financing activities. Net cash provided by operating activities was $696,000 and $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Net cash provided by investing activities, which consists primarily of disbursements for loan originations and the purchase of investment securities, offset by principal collections on loans, proceeds from the sale of loans and the sale of securities and proceeds from maturing securities and pay downs on securities, was $3.7 million and $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, respectively. Net cash provided (used) in financing activities, consisting of activity in deposit accounts and FHLB advances, was ($5.5 million) and $2.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, respectively.

 

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 current strategy to change our mix of deposits to become less reliant on certificates of deposit, we anticipate that we will continue to allow a significant portion of higher-costing certificates of deposit to run off at maturity. We also anticipate continued use of FHLB-Chicago advances as well as continuing to utilize non-core funding sources, such as the Certificate of Depository Registry Service (CDARS), as needed, to fund future loan growth and our operations. 

 

At June 30, 2017, we exceeded all of our regulatory capital requirements with a Tier 1 leverage capital of $34.2 million, or 14.5% of adjusted total assets, which is above the well-capitalized required level of $11.8 million, or 5.0%; and total risk-based capital of $35.7 million, or 22.0% of risk-weighted assets, which is above the well-capitalized required level of $16.2 million, or 10.0%. Management is not aware of any conditions or events since the most recent notification that would change our category.
