ATHENS BANCSHARES CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounting and reporting policies of Athens Bancshares Corporation (the “Company”) and subsidiary conform with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and practices within the banking industry.

The policies that materially affect financial position and results of operations are summarized as follows:

Interim Financial Information (Unaudited)

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X as promulgated by the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial condition and results of operations for the periods presented have been included. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2018, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year or in any other period.

The Company has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition and disclosure through the date the financial statements were issued.

Nature of Operations

The Company is a holding company whose principal activity is the ownership and management of its wholly owned subsidiary, Athens Federal Community Bank, National Association (the “Bank”). The Bank provides a variety of financial services to individuals and corporate customers through its ten branches located in Athens, Sweetwater, Etowah, Madisonville, Cleveland and Lenoir City, Tennessee. The Bank’s primary deposit products include checking, savings, certificates of deposit, and IRA accounts. Its primary lending products are one-to-four family residential, commercial real estate, and consumer loans. Southland Finance, Inc. (“Southland”) is a consumer finance company with one branch located in Athens, Tennessee and one branch located in Cleveland, Tennessee. Ti-Serv, Inc. (“Ti-Serv”) maintains the Bank’s investment in Valley Title Services, LLC (“Valley Title”). Southland and Ti-Serv are wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Bank. Valley Title is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ti-Serv. Athens Muni Corp (“AMC”) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, the valuation of deferred tax assets, other-than-temporary impairment of securities, and the fair value of financial instruments.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed in a manner similar to that of basic EPS except that the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding is increased to include the number of incremental common shares (computed using the treasury stock method) that would have been outstanding if all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents such as stock options were vested during the period.

Management performs periodic reviews for impairment in accordance with ASC Topic 320, Investments – Debt and Equity Securities.

At June 30, 2018, the 42 securities with unrealized losses had depreciated 3.76 percent from the Company’s amortized cost basis. At December 31, 2017, the 34 securities with unrealized losses had depreciated 1.91 percent from the Company’s amortized cost basis.

Most of these securities are guaranteed by either U.S. government corporations or agencies or had investment grade ratings upon purchase. Further, the issuers of these securities have not established any cause for default. The unrealized losses associated with these investment securities are primarily driven by changes in interest rates and are not due to the credit quality of the issuers. These securities will continue to be monitored as a part of the Company’s ongoing impairment analysis, but are expected to perform even if the rating agencies reduce the credit rating of the bond insurers. Management evaluates the financial performance of each issuer on a quarterly basis to determine if it is probable that the issuers can make all contractual principal and interest payments.

Upon acquisition of a security, the Company determines the appropriate impairment model that is applicable. If the security is a beneficial interest in securitized financial assets, the Company uses the beneficial interests in securitized financial assets impairment model. If the security is not a beneficial interest in securitized financial assets, the Company uses the debt and equity securities impairment model. The Company conducts periodic reviews to evaluate each security to determine whether an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred. The Company did not have any securities that were classified as other-than-temporarily-impaired at June 30, 2018.

The Bank, as a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) of Cincinnati, is required to maintain an investment in capital stock of the FHLB. Based on redemption provisions of the FHLB, the stock has no quoted market value and is carried at cost. Management reviews for impairment based on the ultimate recoverability of the cost basis in the FHLB stock.

The Bank also maintains an investment in the capital stock of the Federal Reserve Bank. This investment is carried at cost which approximates the fair value of such stock. The amount of Federal Reserve Bank stock required to be held by the Bank is adjusted quarterly based on a determination made by the Federal Reserve Bank.

For purposes of the disclosures required pursuant to the adoption of ASC 310, the loan portfolio was disaggregated into segments. A portfolio segment is defined as the level at which an entity develops and documents a systematic method for determining its allowance for credit losses. There are five loan portfolio segments that include residential 1-4 family, commercial real estate and multi-family, construction and land, commercial loans, and consumer and other.

The following describe the risk characteristics relevant to each of the portfolio segments:

Residential 1-4 Family: Residential 1-4 family loans include real estate loans secured by 1-4 family first mortgage loans, second liens, or open end real estate loans, such as home equity lines. These are repaid by various means such as a borrower’s income, sale of the property, or rental income derived from the property. Loans within this portfolio segment are particularly sensitive to unemployment factors and valuation of real estate.

LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES (Continued)

 

Portfolio Segmentation (Continued)

 

Commercial Real Estate and Multi-Family: Commercial real estate and multi-family loans include owner-occupied commercial real estate loans, owner-occupied construction loans for commercial businesses, and loans secured by income producing properties. Owner-occupied commercial real estate loans to operating businesses are long-term financing of land and buildings. Owner-occupied construction loans for a commercial business are for the development of land or construction of a building. Both of these loans are repaid by cash flow generated from the business operation. Real estate loans for income-producing properties such as apartment buildings, office and industrial buildings, and retail shopping centers are repaid from rent income derived from the properties. Loans within this segment are particularly sensitive to the valuation of real estate.

Construction and Land: Loans for real estate construction and land development are repaid through cash flow related to the operations, sale or refinance of the underlying property. This portfolio segment includes extensions of credit to real estate developers or investors where repayment is dependent on the sale of the real estate or income generated from the real estate collateral. Loans within this portfolio segment are particularly sensitive to the valuation of real estate.

Commercial: The commercial loan portfolio segment includes commercial and financial loans. These loans include those loans to commercial customers for use in normal business operations to finance working capital needs, equipment purchases, or expansion projects. Loans are repaid by business cash flows. Collection risk in this portfolio is driven by the creditworthiness of the underlying borrower, particularly cash flows from the customers’ business operations.

Consumer and Other: The consumer loan portfolio segment includes direct consumer installment loans, overdrafts and other revolving credit loans, and educational loans. Loans in this portfolio are sensitive to unemployment and other key consumer economic measures.

Credit Risk Management

The Company employs a credit risk management process with defined policies, accountability and routine reporting to manage credit risk in the loan portfolio segments. Credit risk management is guided by credit policies that provide for a consistent and prudent approach to underwriting and approval of credits. Within the Loan Policy, procedures exist that elevate the approval requirements as credits become larger and more complex. All loans are individually underwritten, risk-rated, approved, and monitored.

Responsibility and accountability for adherence to underwriting policies and accurate risk ratings lie in each portfolio segment. For the consumer portfolio segment, the risk management process focuses on managing customers who become delinquent in their payments. For the commercial and real estate portfolio segments, the risk management process focuses on underwriting new business and, on an ongoing basis, monitoring the credit of the portfolios, including a third party review of the largest credits on an annual basis or more frequently as needed. Credit quality and trends in the loan portfolio segments are measured and monitored regularly. Detailed reports, by product, collateral, accrual status, etc., are reviewed by the Directors Loan Committee.

The allowance for loan losses is a valuation reserve allowance established through provisions for loan losses charged against income. The allowance for loan losses, which is evaluated quarterly, is maintained at a level that management deems sufficient to absorb probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Loans deemed to be uncollectible are charged against the allowance for loan losses, while recoveries of previously charged-off amounts are credited to the allowance for loan losses. The allowance for loan losses is comprised of specific valuation allowances for loans evaluated individually for impairment, general allocations for pools of homogeneous loans with similar risk characteristics and trends, and an unallocated component that reflects the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating specific and general losses in the portfolio.

NOTE 4.

LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES (Continued)

 

Credit Risk Management (Continued)

 

The allowance for loan losses related to specific loans is based on management’s estimate of potential losses on impaired loans as determined by (1) the present value of expected future cash flows; (2) the fair value of collateral if the loan is determined to be collateral dependent or (3) the loan’s observable market price. The Company’s homogeneous loan pools include residential 1-4 family loans, commercial real estate and multi-family loans, construction and land loans, commercial loans, and consumer and other loans. The general allocations to these loan pools are based on the historical loss rates for specific loan types and the internal risk grade, if applicable, adjusted for both internal and external qualitative risk factors. The qualitative factors considered by management include, among other factors, (1) changes in local and national economic conditions; (2) changes in asset quality; (3) changes in loan portfolio volume; (4) the composition and concentrations of credit; (5) the impact of competition on loan structuring and pricing; (6) the impact of interest rate changes on portfolio risk and (7) effectiveness of the Company’s loan policies, procedures and internal controls. The total allowance established for each homogeneous loan pool represents the product of the historical loss ratio and the total dollar amount of the loans in the pool.

The following tables detail activity in the allowance for loan losses by portfolio segment for the periods ended June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 (in thousands). Allocation of a portion of the allowance to one category of loans does not preclude its availability to absorb losses in other categories.

A description of the general characteristics of the risk grades used by the Company is as follows:

Pass: Loans in this risk category include borrowers of acceptable to strong credit quality and risk who have the apparent ability to satisfy their loan obligations. Loans in this risk grade would possess sufficient mitigating factors, such as adequate collateral or strong guarantors possessing the capacity to repay the debt if required, for any weakness that may exist.

Special Mention: Loans in this risk grade are the equivalent of the regulatory definition of “Other Assets Especially Mentioned” classification. Loans in this category possess some credit deficiency or potential weakness, which requires a high level of management attention. Potential weaknesses include declining trends in operating earnings and cash flows and/or reliance on the secondary source of repayment. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in noticeable deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or in the Company’s credit position.

Substandard: Loans in this risk grade are inadequately protected by the borrower’s current financial condition and payment capability or the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the orderly repayment of debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful: Loans in this risk grade have all weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or orderly repayment in full, on the basis of current existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable. Possibility of loss is extremely high, but because of certain important and reasonably specific factors that may work to the advantage and strengthening of the exposure, its classification as an estimated loss is deferred until its more exact status may be determined.

Loss: Loans in this risk grade are considered to be non-collectible and of such little value that their continuance as bankable assets is not warranted. This does not mean the loan has absolutely no recovery value, but rather it is neither practical nor desirable to defer writing off the loan, even though partial recovery may be obtained in the future. Charge-offs against the allowance for loan losses are taken in the period in which the loan becomes uncollectible. Consequently, the Company typically does not maintain a recorded investment in loans within this category.

When the Company classifies an asset as substandard or doubtful, a specific allowance for loan losses may be established.

Past Due Loans

A loan is considered past due if any required principal and interest payments have not been received as of the date such payments were required to be made under the terms of the loan agreement. Generally, management places loans on nonaccrual when there is a clear indication that the borrower’s cash flow may not be sufficient to meet payments as they become due, which is generally when a loan is 120 days past due.

Stock Options:

The Company granted stock options to its directors, officers, and employees on December 15, 2010 and December 17, 2014. Both incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options were granted under the 2010 Plan. The exercise price for each option was equal to the market price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant and the maximum term of each option is ten years. The vesting period for all options is five years, pro rata, from the date of grant. The Company recognizes compensation expense over the vesting period, based on the grant-date fair value of the options granted. The fair value of each option granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. For each of the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company recorded stock compensation expense of $20,871 and $20,871. At June 30, 2018, the total remaining compensation cost to be recognized on non-vested options is approximately $62,614.

STOCK OPTIONS, ESOP AND RESTRICTED SHARES (Continued)

 

Restricted Stock:

On January 19, 2011, the Company awarded 94,426 shares of restricted stock to its directors, officers, and employees pursuant to the terms of the 2010 Plan. Compensation expense associated with the performance-based share awards is recognized over the time period that the restrictions associated with the awards lapse based on the total cost of the award, which is the fair market value of the stock on the date of the grant. The closing price on the date of the grants issued on January 19, 2011, was $12.75 per share.

On December 19, 2012, the Company awarded 16,664 shares of restricted stock to its officers and employees pursuant to the terms of the 2010 Plan. The closing price on the date of the grants issued on December 19, 2012, was $16.65.

The Company recognized no in compensation expense attributable to shares that have been awarded for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and $27,746 for the six months ended June 30, 2017. There is no total remaining compensation cost to be recognized on non-vested restricted stock.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP)

The Bank sponsors a leveraged ESOP that covers substantially all employees who meet certain age and eligibility requirements. The ESOP purchased 222,180 shares with the proceeds of a 15 year loan from the Company which is payable in annual installments and bears interest at 3.25% per annum.

The Bank has committed to make contributions to the ESOP sufficient to support the debt service of the loan. The loan is secured by the unallocated shares, which are held in a suspense account, and are allocated among the participants as the loan is repaid. Cash dividends paid on allocated shares are distributed to the participant and cash dividends paid on unallocated shares are used to repay the outstanding debt of the ESOP.

ESOP shares are held by the plan trustee in a suspense account until allocated to participant accounts. Shares released from the suspense account are allocated to participants on the basis of their relative compensation in the year of allocation. Participants become vested in the allocated shares upon four years of employment with the Bank. Any forfeited shares are allocated to other participants in the same proportion as contributions.

As ESOP shares are allocated to participants, the Bank recognizes compensation expense equal to the fair value of the earned ESOP shares. No compensation expense has been recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2018 or 2017.

FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES

 

Determination of Fair Value

The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. In accordance with ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, the fair value of a financial instrument is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices. 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.

The fair value guidance provides a consistent definition of fair value, which focuses on exit price in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. If there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability, a change in valuation technique or the use of multiple valuation techniques may be appropriate. In such instances, determining the price at which willing market participants would transact at the measurement date under current market conditions depends on the facts and circumstances and requires the use of significant judgment. The fair value is a reasonable point within the range that is most representative of fair value under current market conditions.

Fair Value Hierarchy

In accordance with this guidance, the Company groups its financial assets and financial liabilities generally measured at fair value in three levels, based on markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value.

Level 1 - Valuation is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 1 assets and liabilities generally include debt and equity securities that are traded in an active exchange market. Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Valuation is based on inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. The valuation may be based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

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

A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. There have been no changes in the methodologies used at December 31, 2017 and June 30, 2018.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair value disclosures for financial instruments.

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

NOTE 6.

FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES (Continued)

 

Fair Value Hierarchy (Continued)

 

Securities Available for Sale: Fair values are estimated using pricing models and discounted cash flows that consider standard input factors such as observable market data, benchmark yields, interest rate volatilities, broker/dealer quotes, and credit spreads. Securities classified as available for sale are reported at fair value utilizing Level 2 inputs.

Investments, at Cost: The carrying value of investments at cost is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Accrued Interest: The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value.

Loans: The fair value of loans is calculated by discounting scheduled cash flows through the estimated maturity using estimated market discount rates, adjusted for credit risk and servicing costs. The estimate of maturity is based on the Company’s historical experience with repayments for each loan classification, modified, as required, by an estimate of the effect of current economic and lending conditions. Loans for which it is probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement are considered impaired. Once a loan is identified as individually impaired, management measures impairment in accordance with ASC Topic 310, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan.

Deposits: The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as noninterest-bearing demand deposits and NOW, money market, and savings accounts, is equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of time deposits is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

Securities Sold under Agreements to Repurchase: The carrying value of these liabilities, which are extremely short term, approximates their fair value.

Note Payable to Bank: Rates currently available to the Company for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities are used to estimate the fair value of existing debt.

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis: Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below (in thousands):

The Company has no assets or liabilities whose fair values are measured on a recurring basis using Level 3 inputs.

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis: Under certain circumstances management makes adjustments to fair value for assets and liabilities although they are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis. The following tables present the financial instruments carried on the consolidated balance sheets by caption and by level in the fair value hierarchy, for which a nonrecurring change in fair value has been recorded (in thousands):

Impaired Loans: Loans considered impaired under ASC 310-10-35, Receivables, are loans for which, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all principal and interest payments due in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impaired loans can be measured based on the present value of expected payments using the loan’s original effective rate as the discount rate, the loan’s observable market price, or the fair value of the collateral less selling costs if the loan is collateral dependent.

The fair value of impaired loans were primarily measured based on the value of the collateral securing these loans. Collateral may be real estate and/or business assets including equipment, inventory, and/or accounts receivable.

FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES (Continued)

 

Fair Value Hierarchy (Continued)

 

The Company determines the value of the collateral based on independent appraisals performed by qualified licensed appraisers. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Appraised values are discounted for costs to sell and may be discounted further based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the date of the most recent appraisal, and/or management’s expertise and knowledge of the customer and the customer’s business. Such discounts by management are subjective and are typically significant unobservable inputs for determining fair value. Impaired loans are reviewed and evaluated on at least a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly, based on the same factors discussed above.

Foreclosed Assets: Foreclosed real estate, consisting of properties obtained through foreclosure or in satisfaction of loans, is initially recorded at fair value less estimated costs to sell upon transfer of the loan to other real estate. Subsequently, other real estate is carried at the lower of carrying value or fair value less costs to sell. Fair values are generally based on third party appraisals of the property and are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The appraisals are sometimes further discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, and/or changes in market conditions from the date of the most recent appraisal, and/or management’s expertise and knowledge of the customer and the customer’s business. Such discounts are typically significant unobservable inputs for determining fair value. In cases where the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, less cost to sell, a loss is recognized in noninterest expense.

The carrying amount and estimated fair value of the Company’s financial instruments at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, are as follows (in thousands):
