NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1—BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements are not included herein. The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of First Federal of Northern Michigan Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiaries and the notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
All adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which in the opinion of management are necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows, have been made. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014.
Note 2— PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of First Federal of Northern Michigan Bancorp, Inc., First Federal of Northern Michigan (the “Bank”), and the Bank’s wholly owned subsidiaries, Financial Services & Mortgage Corporation (“FSMC”) and FFNM Agency. FSMC invests in real estate, which includes leasing, selling, developing, and maintaining real estate properties. The main activity of FFNM Agency is to collect the stream of income associated with the sale of the Blue Cross/Blue Shield override business to the Grotenhuis Group. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation.
Note 3 - BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
As of August 8, 2014 ("Merger Date"), the Company completed its merger with Alpena Banking Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary Bank of Alpena (“Alpena”). Alpena had one branch office and $102.9 million in assets as of August 8, 2014. The results of operations due to the merger have been included in the Company's results since the Merger Date. The merger was effected by the issuance of shares of the Company’s common stock to Alpena Banking Corporation shareholders. Each share of Alpena’s common stock was converted into the right to receive 1.549 shares of the Company’s common stock, with cash paid in lieu of fractional shares. The conversion of Alpena’s shares resulted in the issuance of 842,965 shares of the Company's common stock.
The merger transaction was recorded using the acquisition method of accounting and accordingly, assets acquired, liabilities assumed and consideration exchanged were recorded at estimated fair values on the Merger Date. The following table provides the purchase price calculation as of the Merger Date and the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated fair values. These fair value measurements are provisional based on third-party valuations that are currently under review and are subject to refinement for up to one year after the Merger Date based on additional information that may be obtained by us that existed on the Merger Date.

The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 include the operating results of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities for the 51 days subsequent to the Merger Date. Alpena's results of operations prior to the Merger Date are not included in the Company's consolidated statement of comprehensive income.
We recorded merger related expenses of $140,000 and $264,000 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. These expenses were for professional services such as legal, accounting and contractual arrangements for consulting services. Alpena's entire operating system has been integrated with the Company's.
The following table provides the unaudited pro forma information for the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, as if the merger had occurred on January 1 of each year. These adjustments reflect the impact of certain purchase accounting fair value measurements, primarily on the loan and deposit portfolios of Bank of Alpena. In addition, the $264,000 in merger-related costs noted above are included in each period presented. Further operating cost savings are expected along with additional business synergies as a result of the merger which are not presented in the pro forma amounts. These unaudited pro forma results are presented for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to represent or be indicative of the actual results of operations of the combined banking organization that would have been achieved had the merger occurred at the beginning of each period presented, nor are they intended to represent or be indicative of future results of the Company.

In most instances, determining the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities required the Company to estimate the cash flows expected to result from those assets and liabilities and to discount those cash flows at appropriate rates of interest. The most significant of those determinations related to the valuation of acquired loans. For such loans, the excess cash flows expected at merger over the estimated fair value is recognized as interest income over the remaining lives of the loans. The difference between contractually required payments at merger and the cash flows expected to be collected at merger reflects the impact of estimated credit losses and other factors, such as prepayments. In accordance with the applicable accounting guidance for business combinations, there was no carry-over of Alpena's previously established allowance for loan losses.
The acquired loans were divided into loans with evidence of credit quality deterioration, which are accounting for under ASC 310-30 ("acquired impaired"), and loans that do not meet the criteria, which are accounted for under ACC 310-20 ("acquired non-impaired"). In addition, the loans are further categorized into different pools based primarily on the type and purpose of the loan.

As of September 30, 2014, there were 81 securities with unrealized losses totaling $537,000 compared to 39 securities with unrealized losses totaling $790,000 at December 31, 2013.
The unrealized losses on the securities held in the portfolio are not considered other than temporary and have not been recognized into income. This decision is based on the Company’s ability and intent to hold any potentially impaired security until maturity. The performance of the security is based on the contractual terms of the agreement, the extent of the impairment and the financial condition and credit quality of the issuer. The decline in market value is considered temporary and a result of changes in interest rates and other market variables.
Note 5—LOANS
Originated loans are reported at their principal amount outstanding adjusted for partial charge-offs, the allowance, and net deferred loan fees and costs. Interest income on loans is accrued over the term of the loans primarily using the simple interest method based on the principal balance outstanding. Interest is not accrued on loans where collectability is uncertain. Accrued interest is presented separately in the consolidated balance sheet. Loan origination fees and certain direct costs incurred to extend credit are deferred and amortized over the term of the loan or loan commitment period as an adjustment to the related loan yield.
Acquired loans are those obtained in the Merger (See Note 3 – Business Combination for further information). These loans were recorded at estimated fair value at the Acquisition Date with no carryover of the related allowance. The acquired loans were segregated between those considered to be performing (“acquired non-impaired loans”) and those with evidence of credit deterioration (“acquired impaired loans”). Acquired loans are considered impaired if there is evidence of credit deterioration and if it is probable, at acquisition, that all contractually required payments will not be collected. Acquired loans restructured after acquisition are not considered or reported as troubled debt restructurings if the loans evidenced credit deterioration as of the Acquisition Date and are accounted for in pools. As of September 30, 2014, no acquired loans were modified as troubled debt restructurings after the Acquisition Date.
The fair value estimates for acquired loans are based on expected prepayments and the amount and timing of discounted expected principal, interest and other cash flows. Credit discounts representing the principal losses expected over the life of the loan are also a component of the initial fair value. In determining the Acquisition Date fair value of acquired impaired loans, and in subsequent accounting, we have generally aggregated acquired mortgage, commercial and consumer loans into pools of loans with common risk characteristics.
The difference between the fair value of an acquired non-impaired loan and contractual amounts due at the Acquisition Date is accreted into income over the estimated life of the loan. Contractually required payments represent the total undiscounted amount of all uncollected principal and interest payments. Acquired non-impaired loans are placed on nonaccrual status and reported as nonperforming or past due using the same criteria applied to the originated loan portfolio.
The excess of an acquired impaired loan’s contractually required payments over the amount of its undiscounted cash flows expected to be collected is referred to as the non-accretable difference. The non-accretable difference, which is neither accreted into income nor recorded on the consolidated balance sheet, reflects estimated future credit losses and uncollectible contractual interest expected to be incurred over the life of the acquired impaired loan. The excess cash flows expected to be collected over the carrying amount of the acquired loan is referred to as the accretable yield. This amount is accreted into interest income over the remaining life of the acquired loans or pools using the level yield method. The accretable yield is affected by changes in interest rate indices for variable rate loans, changes in prepayment speed assumptions and changes in expected principal and interest payments over the estimated lives of the acquired impaired loans.
We evaluate quarterly the remaining contractual required payments receivable and estimate cash flows expected to be collected over the life of the impaired loans. Contractually required payments receivable may increase or decrease for a variety of reasons, for example, when the contractual terms of the loan agreement are modified, when interest rates on variable rate loans change, or when principal and/or interest payments are received. Cash flows expected to be collected on acquired impaired loans are estimated by incorporating several key assumptions similar to the initial estimate of fair value. These key assumptions include probability of default, loss given default, and the amount of actual prepayments after the Acquisition Date. Prepayments affect the estimated lives of loans and could change the amount of interest income, and possibly principal, expected to be collected. In re-forecasting future estimated cash flows, credit loss expectations are adjusted as necessary. The adjustments are based, in part, on actual loss severities recognized for each loan type, as well as changes in the probability of default. For periods in which estimated cash flows are not re-forecasted, the prior reporting period’s estimated cash flows are adjusted to reflect the actual cash received and credit events that transpired during the current reporting period.
Increases in expected cash flows of acquired impaired loans subsequent to the Acquisition Date are recognized prospectively through adjustments of the yield on the loans or pools over their remaining lives, while decreases in expected cash flows are recognized as impairment through a provision for loan losses and an increase in the allowance.
The following table sets forth the composition of our loan portfolio by loan type at the dates indicated.

The Bank uses an eight tier risk rating system to grade its commercial loans. The grade of a loan may change during the life of the loans. The risk ratings are described as follows:
Risk Grade 1 (Excellent) - Prime loans based on liquid collateral, with adequate margin or supported by strong financial statements. Probability of serious financial deterioration is unlikely. High liquidity, minimum risk, strong ratios, and low handling costs are common to these loans. This classification also includes all loans secured by certificates of deposit or cash equivalents.
Risk Grade 2 (Good) - Desirable loans of somewhat less stature than Grade 1, but with strong financial statements. Probability of serious financial deterioration is unlikely. These loans possess a sound repayment source (and/or a secondary source). These loans represent less than the normal degree of risk associated with the type of financing contemplated.
Risk Grade 3 (Satisfactory) - Satisfactory loans of average risk – may have some minor deficiency or vulnerability to changing economic conditions, but still fully collectible. There may be some minor weakness but with offsetting features or other support readily available. These loans present a normal degree of risk associated with the type of financing. Actual and projected indicators and market conditions provide satisfactory assurance that the credit shall perform in accordance with agreed terms.
Risk Grade 4 (Acceptable) - Loans considered satisfactory, but which are of slightly “below average” credit risk due to financial weaknesses or uncertainty. The loans warrant a somewhat higher than average level of monitoring to insure that weaknesses do not advance. The level of risk is considered acceptable and within normal underwriting guidelines, so long as the loan is given the proper level of management supervision.
Risk Grade 4.5 (Monitored) - Loans are considered “below average” and monitored more closely due to some credit deficiency that poses additional risk but is not considered adverse to the point of being a “classified” credit. Possible reasons for additional monitoring may include characteristics such as temporary negative debt service coverage due to weak economic conditions; borrower may have experienced recent losses from operations, declining equity and/or increasing leverage, or marginal liquidity that may affect long-term sustainability. Loans of this grade have a higher degree of risk and warrant close monitoring to insure against further deterioration. In any tables presented subsequently, Risk Grade 4.5 credits are included with Risk Grade 4 credits.
Risk Grade 5 (Other Assets Especially Mentioned) (OAEM) - Loans which possess some credit deficiency or potential weakness, which deserve close attention, but which do not yet warrant substandard classification. Such loans pose unwarranted financial risk that, if not corrected, could weaken the loan and increase risk in the future.
Risk Grade 6 (Substandard) - Loans are “substandard” whose full, final collectability does not appear to be a matter of serious doubt, but which nevertheless portray some form of well defined weakness that requires close supervision by Bank management. The noted weaknesses involve more than normal banking risk. One or more of the following characteristics may be exhibited in loans classified Substandard: (1) Loans possess a defined credit weakness and the likelihood that the loan shall be paid from the primary source of repayment is uncertain; (2) Loans are not adequately protected by the current net worth and/or paying capacity of the obligor; (3) primary source of repayment is gone, and the Bank is forced to rely on a secondary source of repayment such as collateral liquidation or guarantees; (4) distinct possibility that the Bank shall sustain some loss if deficiencies are not corrected; (5) unusual courses of action are needed to maintain a high probability of repayment; (6) the borrower is not generating enough cash flow to repay loan principal, however, continues to make interest payments; (7) the Bank is forced into a subordinated or unsecured position due to flaws in documentation; (8) loans have been restructured so that payment schedules, terms, and collateral represent concessions to the borrower when compared to normal loan terms; (9) the Bank is contemplating foreclosure or legal action due to the apparent deterioration in the loan; or (10) there is a significant deterioration in the market conditions and the borrower is highly vulnerable to these conditions.
Grade 7 (Doubtful) - Loans have all the weaknesses of those classified Substandard. Additionally, however, these weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, based on existing conditions, improbable. Loans in this category are typically not performing in conformance with established terms and conditions. Full repayment is considered “Doubtful”, but extent of loss is not currently determinable.
Risk Grade 8 (Loss) - Loans are considered uncollectible and of such little value, that continuing to carry them as an asset on the Bank’s financial statements is not feasible.

Acquired impaired loans are not subject to individual evaluation for impairment and are not reported as non-performing loans based on acquired impaired loan accounting. Acquired non-impaired loans are placed on non-accrual status and reported as past due or non-performing using the same criteria that is applied to the originated loan portfolio.
The key features of the Company’s loan modifications are determined on a loan-by-loan basis. Generally, our restructurings have related to interest rate reductions and loan term extensions. In the past the Company has granted reductions in interest rates, payment extensions and short-term payment forbearances as a means to maximize collectability of troubled credits. The Company has not forgiven principal to date, although this would be considered if necessary to ensure the long-term collectability of the loan. The Company’s loan modifications are typically short-term in nature, although the Company would consider a long-term modification to ensure the long-term collectability of the credit. At a minimum, a borrower must make at least six consecutive timely payments before the Company would consider a return of a restructured loan to accruing status in accordance with Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation guidelines regarding restoration of credits to accrual status.
The Bank has classified approximately $3.8 million of its impaired loans as troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) as of September 30, 2014. There were no commitments to extend credit to borrowers with loans classified as TDRs as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.
TDR loans are classified as being in default on a case by case basis when they fail to be in compliance with the modified terms. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 the Company did not have any new TDRs or TDRs that subsequently defaulted.
For the majority of the Bank’s impaired loans, the Bank will apply the observable market price methodology. However, the Bank may also utilize a measurement incorporating the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective rate of interest. To determine observable market price, collateral asset values securing an impaired loan are periodically evaluated. Maximum time of re-evaluation is every 12 months. In this process, third party evaluations are obtained and heavily relied upon. Until such time that updated evaluations are received, the Bank may discount the collateral value used.
The Bank uses the following guidelines, as stated in policy, to determine when to realize a charge-off, whether a partial or full loan balance. A charge down in whole or in part is realized when unsecured consumer loans, credit card credits and overdraft lines of credit reach 90 days delinquency. At 120 days delinquency, secured consumer loans are charged down to the value of collateral, if repossession of the collateral is assured and/or in the process of repossession. Consumer mortgage loan deficiencies are charged down upon the sale of the collateral or sooner upon the recognition of collateral deficiency. Commercial credits are charged down at 90 days delinquency, unless an established and approved work-out plan is in place or litigation of the credit will likely result in recovery of the loan balance. Upon notification of bankruptcy, unsecured debt is charged off. Additional charge-offs may be realized as further unsecured positions are recognized.

Acquired loans are not subject to individual evaluation for impairment and are not reported as impaired loans based on acquired impaired loan accounting. Acquired non-impaired loans are placed on nonaccrual status and reported as impaired using the same criteria applied to the originated loan portfolio. In accordance with purchase accounting rules, acquired loans were recorded at fair value at the acquisition date and the prior allowance was eliminated. No allowance for loan loss has been established on these acquired loans through September 30, 2014.
The ALLL has a direct impact on the provision expense. An increase in the ALLL is funded through recoveries and provision expense.
Activity in the allowance for loan and lease losses was as follows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013, respectively:

Note 6 - DIVIDENDS
We are dependent primarily upon the Bank for our earnings and funds to pay dividends on common stock. The payment of dividends also is subject to legal and regulatory restrictions. Any payment of dividends in the future will depend, in large part, on the Bank's earnings, capital requirements, financial condition and other factors considered by the Board of Directors.
Note 7 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted FASB ASC 718-10, “Shareholder Based Payments”, which requires that the grant-date fair value of awarded stock options be expensed over the requisite service period. The Company’s 1996 Stock Option Plan (the “1996 Plan”), which was approved by shareholders, permits the grant of options to purchase shares of common stock to its employees and directors for up to 127,491 shares of common stock (retroactively adjusted for the exchange ratio applied in the Company’s 2005 stock offering and related second-step conversion). The Company’s 2006 Stock-Based Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”), which was approved by shareholders, permits the award of up to 242,740 shares of common stock of which the maximum number to be granted as stock options is 173,386 and the maximum to be granted as restricted stock awards is 69,354. Option awards are granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s stock at the date of grant. These option awards generally vest based on five years of continual service and have ten-year contractual terms. Certain options provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control (as defined in the Plans).
During the nine months ended September 30, 2014 the Company awarded no shares under the either the 2006 or the 1996 Stock-Based Incentive Plan. Shares issued under the plans and exercised pursuant to the exercise of stock options may be either authorized but unissued shares or reacquired shares held by the Company as treasury stock.
Stock Options - A summary of option activity under the Plan during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 is presented below:
Options | | Shares | | Weighted- Average Exercise Price | | Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Term (Years) | |
Aggregate Intrinsic Value |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Outstanding at January 1, 2014 | | | 150,030 | | | $ | 9.52 | | | | 2.4 | | | $ | — | |

Options Exercisable at September 30, 2014 | | | 137,530 | | | $ | 9.54 | | | | 1.8 | | | $ | — | |
The aggregate intrinsic value of outstanding options shown in the table above represents the total pretax intrinsic value (i.e. the difference between the Company’s closing stock price of $5.33 on September 30, 2014 and the exercise price times the number of shares) that would have been received by the option holder had all option holders exercised their options on September 30, 2014. This amount changes based on the fair market value of the stock.
As of September 30, 2014 the Company had no unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested options under the Plan. There were no shares which vested during the quarter ended September 30, 2014. In addition, there were no non-vested options as of September 30, 2014.
Restricted Stock Awards– As of September 30, 2014 all restricted stock awards have vested, therefore the Company had no unrecognized compensation costs under the Plan. There were 5,304 shares available for future stock award grants as of September 30, 2014.
Note 8 – COMMITMENTS TO EXTEND CREDIT
The Company is a party to credit-related financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, and commercial lines of credit. Such commitments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheet. The Company’s exposure to credit loss is represented by the contracted amount of these commitments. The Company follows the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.
At September 30, 2014, the Company had outstanding commitments to originate loans of $28.3 million. These commitments include the following:
| | As of |
| | September 30, 2014 |
| | (in thousands) |
| | | | |
Commitments to grant loans | | $ | 12,841 | |
Unfunded commitments under lines of credit | | | 15,284 | |
Commercial and standby letters of credit | | | 134 | |
Note 9 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The fair value of financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value is categorized in three levels. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. These levels are as follows:
Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets, such as the New York Stock Exchange. Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 — Valuations of assets and liabilities traded in less active dealer or broker markets. Valuations include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities traded in the same market; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable. Valuations may be obtained from, or corroborated by, third-party pricing services.
Level 3 — Assets and liabilities with valuations that include methodologies and assumptions that may not be readily observable, including option pricing models, discounted cash flow models, yield curves and similar techniques. Level 3 valuations incorporate certain assumptions and projections in determining the fair value assigned to such assets or liabilities, but in all cases are corroborated by external data, which may include third-party pricing services.
The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, and the valuation techniques used by the Company to determine those fair values.

Fair value measurements of U.S. Government agencies and mortgage backed securities use pricing models that vary and may consider various assumptions, including time value, yield curves, volatility factors, prepayment speeds, default rates, loss severity, current market and contractual prices for the underlying financial instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures.
There were no transfers between Levels 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy from December 31, 2013 to September 30, 2014. For the available for sale securities, the Company obtains fair value measurements from an independent third-party service.
The Company has assets that, under certain conditions, are subject to measurement at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, such assets consist primarily of impaired loans and other real estate owned. The Company has estimated the fair values of these assets using Level 3 inputs, specifically discounted cash flow projections.

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 short-term instruments approximate fair values.
Investment Securities - Fair value for the Bank’s investment securities was determined using the market value in active markets, where available. When not available, fair values are estimated using the fair value hierarchy. In the fair value hierarchy, Level 2 fair values are determined using observable inputs other than Level 1 market prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets. Level 3 values are determined using unobservable inputs, such as discounted cash flow projections.
Loans Receivable - For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying values. Fair values for certain mortgage loans (e.g., one- to four-family residential), credit card loans, and other consumer loans are based on quoted market prices of similar loans sold in conjunction with securitization transactions, adjusted for differences in loan characteristics. Fair values for other loans (e.g., commercial real estate and investment property mortgage loans, commercial, and industrial loans) are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. Fair values for nonperforming loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses or underlying collateral values, where applicable.
Loans Held For Sale - Fair values of mortgage loans held for sale are based on commitments on hand from investors or prevailing market prices.
Federal Home Loan Bank Stock - The carrying value of Federal Home Loan Bank stock approximates fair value based on the redemption provisions of the Federal Home Loan Bank.
Deposit Liabilities - The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (e.g., interest and noninterest checking, passbook savings, and certain types of money market accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (i.e., their carrying amounts). The carrying amounts of variable-rate, fixed-term money market accounts and certificates of deposit approximate their fair values at the reporting date. Fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits.
Federal Home Loan Bank Advances - The estimated fair value of the fixed and variable rate Federal Home Loan Bank advances are estimated by discounting the related cash flows using the rates currently available for similarly structured borrowings with similar maturities.
Accrued Interest - The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value.
The estimated fair values, related carrying or notional amounts, and level of the Company’s financial instruments are as follows:

Note 10 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT
In January of 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-04, Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure. This ASU clarifies that an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs, and a creditor is considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan, upon either (1) the creditor obtaining legal title to the residential real estate property upon completion of a foreclosure or (2) the borrower conveying all interest in the residential real estate property to the creditor to satisfy that loan through completion of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or through a similar legal agreement. The ASU also requires additional related interim and annual disclosures. The guidance in this ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2014. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This ASU establishes a comprehensive revenue recognition standard for virtually all industries under U.S. GAAP, including those that previously followed industry-specific guidance such as the real estate, construction and software industries. The revenue standard’s core principle is built on the contract between a vendor and a customer for the provision of goods and services. It attempts to depict the exchange of rights and obligations between the parties in the pattern of revenue recognition based on the consideration to which the vendor is entitled. To accomplish this objective, the standard requires five basic steps: i) identify the contract with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. This ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016 with three transition methods available – full retrospective, retrospective and cumulative effect approach. Adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion compares the consolidated financial condition of the Company at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, and the results of operations for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the interim financial statements and footnotes included herein.
OVERVIEW
The Company operates as a community-oriented financial institution that accepts deposits from the general public in the communities surrounding its 8 full-service banking centers. The deposited funds, together with funds generated from operations and borrowings, are used by the Company to originate loans. The Company’s principal lending activity is the origination of mortgage loans for the purchase or refinancing of one-to-four family residential properties. The Company also originates commercial and multi-family real estate loans, construction loans, commercial loans, automobile loans, home equity loans and lines of credit, and a variety of other consumer loans.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2014, the Company reported net income of $1.6 million, or $0.48 per basic and diluted share, compared to $182,000, or $0.06 per basic and diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2013, an increase of $1.4 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 net income was $1.9 million, or $0.63 per basic and diluted share as compared to $247,000, or $0.09 per share, for the same period ended September 30, 2013.
Primarily reflecting the impact of the merger with Alpena, total assets increased $102.3 million, or 48.8%, to $311.9 million as of September 30, 2014 from $209.7 million as of December 31, 2013. Investment securities available-for-sale increased $64.9 million, or 128.9%, from December 31, 2013 to September 30, 2014. Cash and cash equivalents increased $4.3 million and net loans receivable increased $27.0 million during this time period. Total deposits increased $98.5 million from December 31, 2013 to September 30, 2014, while Federal Home Loan Bank advances decreased $3.0 million and equity increased $6.4 million.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
As of September 30, 2014, there have been no changes in the critical accounting policies as disclosed in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. The Company’s critical accounting policies are described in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis and financial sections of its 2013 Annual Report. Management believes its critical accounting policies relate to the Company’s allowance for loan losses, real estate owned, mortgage servicing rights, valuation of deferred tax assets and impairment of intangible assets.
MERGER
We completed the merger with Alpena Banking Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary Bank of Alpena (“Alpena”), as of August 8, 2014. Alpena had one branch office and $73 million in assets as of December 31, 2013. The results of operations due to the merger have been included in the Company's results since the Merger Date. The merger was effected by the issuance of shares of the Company’s common stock to Alpena Banking Corporation shareholders. Each share of Alpena’s common stock was converted into the right to receive 1.549 shares of the Company’s common stock, with cash paid in lieu of fractional shares. The conversion of Alpena’s shares resulted in the issuance of 842,965 share of the Company's common stock.
The Alpena merger transaction was recorded using the acquisition method of accounting and accordingly, assets acquired, liabilities assumed and consideration exchanged were recorded at estimated fair values on the Merger Date. The following table provides the purchase price calculation as of the Merger Date and the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated fair values. These fair value measurements are provisional based on third-party valuations that are currently under review and are subject to refinement for up to one year after the Merger Date based on additional information that may be obtained by us that existed on the Merger Date.
In most instances, determining the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities required the Company to estimate the cash flows expected to result from those assets and liabilities and to discount those cash flows at appropriate rates of interest. The most significant of those determinations related to the valuation of acquired loans. For such loans, the excess cash flows expected at merger over the estimated fair value is recognized as interest income over the remaining lives of the loans. The difference between contractually required payments at merger and the cash flows expected to be collected at merger reflects the impact of estimated credit losses and other factors, such as prepayments. In accordance with the applicable accounting guidance for business combinations, there was no carry-over of Alpena's previously established allowance for loan losses. The acquired loans were divided into loans with evidence of credit quality deterioration, which are accounting for under ASC 310-30 ("acquired impaired"), and loans that do not meet the criteria, which are accounted for under ACC 310-20 ("acquired non-impaired"). In addition, the loans are further categorized into different pools based primarily on the type and purpose of the loan.
The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 include the operating results of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities for the 51 days subsequent to the Merger Date. Alpena's results of operations prior to the Merger Date are not included in the Company's consolidated statement of comprehensive income.
We recorded merger related expenses of $140,000 and $264,000 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014. These expenses were for professional services such as legal, accounting and contractual arrangements for consulting services. Alpena's entire operating system has been integrated with the Company's.
In conjunction with the Merger the Company has closed one branch location and an operations center. The Company has received market value assessments on these two locations and has classified the buildings as assets held for sale as of September 30, 2014.
COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AT SEPTEMBER 30, 2014 AND DECEMBER 31, 2013
Assets:As a result of the merger with Alpena, which was consummated on August 8, 2014, total assets increased $102.3 million, or 48.8%, to $311.9 million at September 30, 2014 from $209.7 million at December 31, 2013. During the nine-month period the following changes occurred: investment securities available for sale increased $64.9 million, or 128.9% and net loans receivable increased $27.0 million, or 20.8%, to $164.7 million at September 30, 2014 from $136.3 million at December 31, 2013.Mortgage loans increased $8.7 million as a result of the merger and our continued effort to grow this portfolio by retaining certain high-quality 10- and 15- year fixed rate residential mortgages as opposed to selling them. In addition, our consumer loan portfolio, consisting mainly of home equity loans, increased by $1.2 million, and our commercial loans increased $17.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.
Liabilities:Deposits increased $98.5 million, to $258.5 million at September 30, 2014 from $160.0 million at December 31, 2013. As a result of the merger with Alpena we experienced increases of $7.0 million in statement savings accounts, $14.3 million in money market accounts, $15.1 million in NOW demand deposit accounts, $51.0 million in non-interest bearing demand deposit accounts and $11.1 million in our traditional certificates of deposit. Partially offsetting these increases was a decrease of $2.0 million in our liquid certificates of deposit (from which customers can take a penalty–free withdrawal with seven days advance written notice) as, in general, we were not the market leader in rates on this product during this time period. FHLB advances decreased $3.0 million to $21.8 million at September 30, 2014 from $24.8 million at December 31, 2013.
Equity:Primarily as a result of the merger with Alpena, stockholders’ equity increased $6.4 million to $30.0 million at September 30, 2014 from $23.5 million at December 31, 2013. The increase in stockholders’ equity was mainly attributable to three factors: the merger with Alpena which resulted in additional equity in the amount of $4.4 million, the net income reported for the nine month period of $1.9 million which includes the bargain purchase gain of $1.8 million that was recorded as a result of the merger with Alpena and an increase of $272,000 in the unrealized gains on available for sale securities net of tax.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three Months Ended September 30, 2014 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2013
General:Net income increased $1.4 million to $1.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 from $182,000 for the same period ended September 30, 2013.
Interest Income: Interest income was $2.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014, compared to $2.1 million for the comparable period in 2013. The increase in interest income was due to an increase in the average balance of our interest-earning assets that resulted from the completion of the merger with Alpena during the three months ended September 30, 2014. The average balance of mortgage loans increased $4.6 million quarter over quarter. The average balance of non-mortgage loans increased $12.5 million period over period. In addition, we experienced an increase in cash and cash equivalents and other investments of $21.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 when compared to the same period in 2013. In spite of the increases in our loan portfolios, the average yield on our interest-earning assets declined 62 basis points to 3.53% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2014 from 4.15% for the same period in 2013. The decrease in yield is primarily a function of the increased level of lower yielding assets, such as cash and available for sale securities, as of September 30, 2014.
Interest Expense: Interest expense was $270,000 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2014, compared to $275,000 for the same period in 2013. The decrease in interest expense for the three-month period was due in part to a 10 basis point decline in the overall cost of funds to 0.55% as of September 30, 2014 from 0.65% for same period a year ago. Despite the decrease in overall cost of funds we experienced increases in average balances of $2.4 million in our certificate of deposits, $25.2 million in money market and NOW demand deposit accounts and $6.0 million in savings deposit accounts quarter over quarter.
The following table sets forth information regarding the changes in interest income and interest expense of the Bank during the periods indicated.

| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Change in net interest income | | $ | 406 | | | $ | (80 | ) | | $ | 326 | |
Net Interest Income: Net interest income increased $326,000 to $2.1 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2014 as compared to the same period in 2013. For the three months ended September 30, 2014, average interest-earning assets increased $71.0 million, or 35.8%, to $269.3 million when compared to the same period in 2013. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $28.7 million, or 17.2%, to $195.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 from $166.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2013. The yield on average interest-earning assets decreased to 3.53% for the three month period ended September 30, 2014 from 4.15% for the same period ended in 2013. The cost of average interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 0.55% from 0.65% for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013, respectively. The net interest margin decreased 46 basis points to 3.14% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2014 from 3.60% for same period in 2013.
Provision for Loan Losses: The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.
The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon management’s periodic review of the collectability of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.
The provision for loan losses for the three-month period ended September 30, 2014 was $257,000 as compared to $32,000 for the prior year period. Our provision for loan losses is based on a twelve-quarter rolling average of actual net charge-offs adjusted for various environmental factors for each pool of loans in our portfolio. During the quarter ended September 30, 2014, we charged off $225,000 for a long term non-performing commercial credit. In addition, we charged off $66,000 in mortgage loans as compared to $29,000 during the quarter ended September 30, 2013. The direct effect of the increased charge-offs quarter over quarter resulted in an increase in the general reserve factor applied to each pool of loans in our portfolio for the quarter ended September 30, 2014, which in turn was a main cause of the increase in provision period over period. The provision was based on management’s review of the components of the overall loan portfolio, the status of non-performing loans and various subjective factors.
Non-Interest Income: Non-interest income increased to $2.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 from $459,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013, related primarily to the bargain purchase gain of $1.8 million that was recorded as a result of the merger with Alpena during the three months ended September 30, 2014. Mortgage banking income declined $29,000 and service charge income decreased $34,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013.
Non-Interest Expense: Non-interest expense was $2.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to $2.0 million for the same period in 2013. Compensation and employee benefit expense increased $152,000 period over period as we added staff as a result of the merger with Alpena. In addition, we experienced an increase of $101,000 in merger related expenses.
Income Taxes: The Company recorded no federal income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013. A valuation allowance of $2.5 million remains on our current deferred tax asset as of September 30, 2014. Tax expense related to the gain recognized on the acquisition of Bank of Alpena was not recorded due to the valuation allowance associated with the Company’s deferred tax asset related to prior operational losses incurred.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013
General:Net income increased $1.7 million to $1.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 from $247,000 for the same period ended September 30, 2013. This increase is attributed to the bargain purchase gain that was recorded as a result of the merger with Alpena.
Interest Income: Interest income was $6.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to $6.2 million for the comparable period in 2013. This increase of $212,000, or 3.4%, in interest income was due in large part to an increase of $26.0 million in average balances of interest earning assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. While we experienced an increase in average balances our yield on these assets declined 37 basis points to 3.88% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2014 as compared to 4.25% for the same period in 2013. The decrease in yield is attributed to the results of operation for the nine-month period containing 51 days of interest income on the assets acquired as a result of the merger with Alpena.
Interest Expense: Interest expense was $778,000 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2014 compared to $881,000 for the same period in 2013. The decrease in interest expense was due primarily to a period over period decrease of 11 basis points in the overall cost of funds. Specifically we saw our cost of funds decline of 23 basis points, to 1.09% on our Federal Home Loan Bank advances for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to 1.32% for the same period in 2013. While the overall cost of funds decreased we experienced an increase of $71.5 million in the average balance of core deposits, as a result of the merger with Alpena, which serve as a low cost funding source for the Company.
The following table sets forth information regarding the changes in interest income and interest expense of the Bank during the periods indicated.

Net Interest Income: Net interest income increased $314,000 to $5.4 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2014 compared to the same period in 2013. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, average interest-earning assets increased $26.0 million, or 13.2%, and average interest-bearing liabilities increased $8.9 million, or 5.3%, when compared to the same period in 2013. The yield on average interest-earning assets decreased to 3.88% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 from 4.25% for the same period ended in 2013. The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 0.60% from 0.71% for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013, respectively. The net interest margin decreased 23 basis points to 3.41% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2014, from 3.64% for the same period in 2013.
Delinquent Loans and Nonperforming Assets: Nonperforming assets decreased $460,000 from December 31, 2013 to September 30, 2014 due primarily to the acquisition of non-performing assets in the merger with Alpena.
Acquired impaired loans are not subject to individual evaluation for impairment and are not reported as non-performing loans based on acquired impaired loan accounting. Acquired non-impaired loans are placed on non-accrual status and reported as past due or non-performing using the same criteria that is applied to the originated loan portfolio.

Provision for Loan Losses: The provision for loan losses was $273,000 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2014 as compared to $372,000 for the comparable period in 2013. As discussed above in the discussion for the three-month period ended September 30, 2014, our provision for loan losses is based on a twelve-quarter rolling average of actual net charge-offs adjusted for various environmental factors for each pool of loans in our portfolio. During the nine-months ended September 30, 2014, we charged off $225,000 for a long term non-performing commercial credit. In addition, we experienced net charge-offs of approximately $74,000 on mortgage loans. As a result of the increased charge-offs we increased the reserve factors applied to the loan pools classified as substandard based on the inherent increased risk associated with those credits. The provision was based on management’s review of the components of the overall loan portfolio, the status of non-performing loans and various subjective factors.

Non-Interest Income: Non-interest income was $2.9 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2014, an increase of $1.5 million, or 113.0%, from the same period in 2013. Most notably, the nine-month results in 2014 reflect the bargain purchase gain of $1.8 million recorded as a result of the merger with Alpena. Partially offsetting this item are decreases of $137,000 in mortgage banking activities due to reduced refinance activity as compared to the prior year period, and $79,000 in service charges on deposit accounts when compared to the year earlier period in 2013.
Non-Interest Expense:Non-interest expense increased to $6.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 from $6.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 merger expenses increased $225,000 as we finalized the transaction with Alpena. In addition, we experienced increases of $77,000 in salaries and benefits, $40,000 in occupancy expenses and $107,000 in other expenses, primarily associated with the operating software used by the Company. Partially offsetting these increases were decreases of $128,000 in expenses related to troubled credits and real estate owned.
Income Taxes: The Company did not record any income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 due to the net operating loss carry forward that offsets any current tax liability. A valuation allowance of $2.5 million remains on our current deferred tax asset as of September 30, 2014.
Tax expense related to the gain recognized on the acquisition of Bank of Alpena was not recorded due to the valuation allowance associated with the Company’s deferred tax asset related to prior operational losses incurred. The Company will continue to evaluate the future benefits from these carryforwards and at such time as it becomes “more likely than not” that they would be utilized prior to expiration, the Company will recognize the additional benefits as an adjustment to the valuation allowance. The net operating loss carryforwards expire twenty years from the date they originated. These carryforwards, if not utilized, will fully expire in the year 2033.
LIQUIDITY
The Company’s current liquidity position is more than adequate to fund expected asset growth. The Company’s primary sources of funds are deposits, FHLB advances, proceeds from principal and interest payments, prepayments on loans and mortgage-backed and investment securities and sale of long-term fixed-rate mortgages into the secondary market. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and mortgage-backed securities are a predictable source of funds, deposit flows, mortgage prepayments and sale of mortgage loans into the secondary market are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition.
Liquidity represents the amount of an institution’s assets that can be quickly and easily converted into cash without significant loss. The most liquid assets are cash, short-term U.S. Government securities, U.S. Government agency securities and certificates of deposit. The Company is required to maintain sufficient levels of liquidity as defined by OCC regulations. This requirement may be varied at the direction of the OCC. Regulations currently in effect require that the Bank must maintain sufficient liquidity to ensure its safe and sound operation. The Company’s objective for liquidity is to be above 20% of net deposits and short-term borrowings. Liquidity as of September 30, 2014 was $131.0 million, or 58.8%, compared to $53.4 million, or 42.4% at December 31, 2013. The levels of these assets are dependent on the Company’s operating, financing, lending and investing activities during any given period. The increase in the Company’s level of liquidity is a direct result of the acquisition of $65.7 million of cash and investments from Alpena in the Merger. The liquidity calculated by the Company includes additional borrowing capacity available with the FHLB. This borrowing capacity is based on pledged collateral. As of September 30, 2014, the Bank had unused borrowing capacity totaling $36.1 million at the FHLB based on the pledged collateral.
The Company intends to retain in its portfolio certain originated residential mortgage loans (primarily adjustable rate, balloon and shorter-term fixed-rate mortgage loans) and to generally sell the remainder in the secondary market. The Bank will from time to time participate in or originate commercial real estate loans, including real estate development loans. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2014 the Company originated $17.8 million in residential mortgage loans, of which $8.2 million were retained in portfolio while the remainder were sold in the secondary market or are being held for sale. This compares to $21.8 million in originations during the first nine months of 2013 of which $9.4 million were retained in portfolio. The Company also originated $11.8 million of commercial loans and $1.9 million of consumer loans in the first nine months of 2013 compared to $17.9 million of commercial loans and $1.4 million of consumer loans for the same period in 2013. Of total loans receivable, excluding loans held for sale, mortgage loans comprised 48.6% and 45.9%, commercial loans 44.8% and 46.7% and consumer loans 6.7% and 7.4% at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.
Deposits are a primary source of funds for use in lending and for other general business purposes. At September 30, 2014 deposits funded 82.9% of the Company’s total assets compared to 76.3% at December 31, 2013. Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in less than one year at September 30, 2014 totaled $40.4 million. Management believes that a significant portion of such deposits will remain with the Bank. The Bank monitors the deposit rates offered by competition in the area and sets rates that take into account the prevailing market conditions along with the Bank’s liquidity position. Moreover, management believes that the growth in assets is not expected to require significant in-flows of liquidity. As such, the Bank does not expect to be a significant market leader in rates paid for liabilities.
Borrowings may be used to compensate for seasonal or other reductions in normal sources of funds or for deposit outflows at more than projected levels. Borrowings may also be used on a longer-term basis to support increased lending or investment activities. At September 30, 2014 the Company had $21.8 million in FHLB advances. FHLB advances as a percentage of total assets were 7.0% at September 30, 2014 as compared to 11.8% at December 31, 2013. The Company has sufficient available collateral to obtain additional FHLB advances of $36.1 million as of September 30, 2014.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
Stockholders’ equity at September 30, 2014 was $30.0 million, or 9.6% of total assets, compared to $23.5 million, or 11.2% of total assets, at December 31, 2013 (See “Consolidated Statement of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity”). The $6.5 million increase during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was primarily due to the Merger with Alpena. We issued 842,965 of shares of common stock, valued at $4.7 million, in conjunction with the Merger. In addition, we experienced a decline in our Tier 1 (core) capital ratio as a result of the $102.4 million dollars of assets acquired from Alpena in the Merger.
The Bank is subject to certain capital-to-assets requirements in accordance with OCC regulations. The Bank exceeded all regulatory capital requirements at September 30, 2014.
