Accounting Policies [Abstract] | ' |
Consolidation, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
Principles of consolidation |
|
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Ottawa Savings Bancorp, Inc. (the Company) and its wholly owned subsidiary Ottawa Savings Bank (the Bank). All significant intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation. |
Basis of Accounting, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
Entity structure |
|
In 2005, the Board of Directors of the Bank unanimously adopted a plan of conversion providing for the conversion of the Bank from an Illinois chartered mutual savings bank to a federally chartered stock savings bank and the purchase of all of the common stock of the Bank by the Company. The depositors of the Bank approved the plan at a meeting held in 2005. |
|
In adopting the plan, the Board of Directors of the Bank determined that the conversion was advisable and in the best interests of its depositors and the Bank. The conversion was completed in 2005 when the Company issued 1,223,701 shares of common stock to Ottawa Savings Bancorp MHC (a mutual holding company), and 1,001,210 shares of common stock to the public. As of December 31, 2013, Ottawa Savings Bancorp MHC holds 1,223,701 shares of common stock, representing 57.8% of the Company’s common shares outstanding. |
|
|
Nature of business |
|
The primary business of the Company is the ownership of the Bank. Through the Bank, the Company is engaged in providing a variety of financial services to individual and corporate customers in the Ottawa, Illinois area, which is primarily an agricultural area consisting of several rural communities with small to medium sized businesses. The Bank’s primary source of revenue is interest and fees related to single-family residential loans to middle-income individuals. |
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
Use of estimates |
|
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change relate to the fair value of securities available for sale, the determination of the allowance for loan losses, valuation of deferred income taxes, and the determination of the liability for postretirement benefits. |
Concentration Risk, Credit Risk, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
Concentration of credit risk |
|
Most of the Bank’s business activity is with customers within the local Ottawa area. The Bank does not have any significant concentrations to any one industry or customer. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
Cash and cash equivalents |
|
For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and amounts due from banks, including cash items in process of clearing. Cash flows from loans, deposits, and federal funds sold or purchased are treated as net increases or decreases in the statement of cash flows. |
|
The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents. |
Marketable Securities, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
Investment securities |
|
Debt securities that management has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as “held to maturity” and reported at amortized cost. |
|
Debt securities classified as available for sale are those debt securities that the Company intends to hold for an indefinite period of time, but not necessarily to maturity. Any decision to sell a security classified as available for sale would be based on various factors, including significant movements in interest rates, changes in maturity mix of the Company's assets and liabilities, liquidity needs, regulatory capital considerations and other similar factors. Securities available for sale are carried at fair value. The difference between the fair value and amortized cost, adjusted for amortization of premium and accretion of discounts, computed by the interest method over their contractual maturity, results in an unrealized gain or loss. Unrealized gains or losses are reported as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of the related deferred tax effect and are included as a component of stockholders' equity. Gains or losses from the sale of securities are determined using the specific identification method and are included in earnings. Declines in the fair value of available for sale securities below their amortized cost basis that are deemed to be other than temporary are reflected in earnings as realized losses. Purchase premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the terms of the securities. |
|
Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. Consideration is given to (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. In addition, management monitors market trends and current events in order to identify trends and circumstances that might impact the carrying value of securities. |
|
To determine if an “other-than-temporary” impairment (OTTI) exists on an investment security, the Company first determines if (a) it intends to sell the security or (b) it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery. If either of the conditions is met, the Company will recognize an “other-than-temporary” impairment in earnings equal to the difference between the security’s fair value and its adjusted cost basis. If neither of the conditions is met, the Company determines (a) the amount of the impairment related to credit loss and (b) the amount of the impairment due to all other factors. The difference between the present values of the cash flows expected to be collected and the amortized cost basis is the credit loss. The credit loss is the portion of the other-than-temporary impairment that is recognized in earnings and is a reduction to the cost basis of the security. The portion of total impairment related to all other factors is included in other comprehensive income (loss). |

Non-marketable equity securities |
|
Investments in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago, Bankers Bank of Wisconsin, and the Upper Illinois River Valley Development Corporation are carried at cost. |
Finance, Loans and Leases Receivable, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
Loans |
|
The Bank primarily lends to small and mid-sized businesses, non-residential real estate customers and consumers providing mortgage, commercial and consumer loans. A substantial portion of the loan portfolio is represented by mortgage loans throughout Ottawa, Illinois and the surrounding area. The ability of the Bank’s debtors to honor their contracts is dependent upon the real estate and general economic conditions in this area. |
|
It is the Bank’s policy to review each prospective credit in order to determine the appropriateness and the adequacy of security or collateral prior to making a loan. In the event of borrower default, the Bank seeks recovery in compliance with state lending laws, the Bank’s lending standards, and credit monitoring and remediation procedures. |
|
Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or pay-off are generally reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances adjusted for charge-offs, the allowance for loan losses, and any deferred fees or costs on originated loans. Interest income is accrued 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 over the contractual life of the loan using the interest method. |
|
The following portfolio segments and classes of loan receivables have been identified by the Company: |
|
| • | Commercial | | | | | | |
|
| • | Non-residential real estate | | | | | | |
|
| • | One-to-four family residential real estate | | | | | | |
|
| • | Multi-family residential real estate | | | | | | |
|
| • | Consumer direct | | | | | | |
|
| • | Purchased auto loans | | | | | | |
|
Generally, for all classes of loans receivable, loans are considered past due when contractual payments are delinquent for 31 days or greater. Past due status is based on contractual terms of the loan. In all cases, loans are placed on nonaccrual status or charged-off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful. |
|
For all classes of loans receivable, loans will generally be placed on nonaccrual status when the loan has become over 90 days past due (unless the loan is well secured and in the process of collection). |
|
When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, income recognition is ceased. Previously recorded but uncollected amounts of interest on nonaccrual loans are reversed at the time the loan is placed on nonaccrual status. The interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual status. Should full collection of principal be expected, cash collected on nonaccrual loans can be recognized as interest income. |
|
For all classes of loans receivable, nonaccrual loans may be restored to accrual status provided the following criteria are met: |
|
| • | The loan is current, and all principal and interest amounts contractually due have been made, | | | | | | |
|
| • | All principal and interest amounts contractually due, including past due payments, are reasonably assured of repayment within a reasonable period, and | | | | | | |
|
| • | There is a period of minimum repayment performance, as follows, by the borrower in accordance with contractual terms: | | | | | | |
|
| • | Six months of repayment performance for contractual monthly payments, or | | | | | | |
|
| • | One year of repayment performance for contractual quarterly or semi-annual payments. | | | | | | |
|
Troubled debt restructuring exists when the Company, for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower’s financial difficulties, grants a concession (either imposed by court order, law, or agreement between the borrower and the Company) to the borrower that it would not otherwise consider. The Company is attempting to maximize its recovery of the balances of the loans through these various concessionary restructurings. |
|
The following criteria, related to granting a concession, together or separately, create a troubled debt restructuring: |
|
| • | A modification of terms of a debt such as one or a combination of: | | | | | | |
|
| • | The reduction of the stated interest rate to a rate lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk. | | | | | | |
|
| • | The extension of the maturity date or dates at a stated interest rate lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk. | | | | | | |
|
| • | The reduction of the face amount or maturity amount of the debt as stated in the instrument or other agreement. | | | | | | |
|
| • | The reduction of accrued interest. | | | | | | |
|
| • | A transfer from the borrower to the Company of receivables from third parties, real estate, other assets, or an equity position in the borrower to fully or partially satisfy a loan. | | | | | | |
Loans and Leases Receivable, Allowance for Loan Losses Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
Allowance for loan losses |
|
For all portfolio segments, the allowance for loan losses is an amount necessary to absorb known and inherent losses that are both probable and reasonably estimable and is established through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Loan losses, for all portfolio segments, are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectability of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. |
|
For all portfolio segments, 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. In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the allowance for loan losses and may require the Company to make additions to the allowance based upon their judgment about information available to them at the time of their examinations. |
|
The general component consists of quantitative and qualitative factors and covers non-impaired loans. The quantitative factors are based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors. The historical loss experience is determined by portfolio segment and is based on the actual loss history experienced by the Company using the most recent twelve quarters with heavier weighting given to the most recent quarters. The weighting applies 40% to each of the most recent four quarters and 30% to each of the next eight quarters. |
|
Due to changing economic conditions which resulted in reduced charge-offs through June 30, 2013, management evaluated and changed the historical loss period used in the allowance for loan losses calculation from using the most recent eight quarters of loss history to calculate historical loss rates to the twelve quarters of loss history. The weighting applied to the quarters had been graduated, with heavier weightings applied to the most recent quarters of loss history. Going forward the weighting applied to the quarters is still graduated, with heavier weightings applied to the most recent quarters of loss history; however, the weighting applied has a lesser graduation than the previous methodology. Management evaluated the impact of the change in methodology by calculating the allowance for loan losses using both the old methodology and the new methodology at June 30, 2013, and determined that the change in methodology did not have a material impact on the allowance for loan losses as of June 30, 2013. |
|
This actual loss experience is supplemented with other qualitative factors based on the risks present for each portfolio segment. These qualitative factors include consideration of the following: |
|
| ● | Levels of and trends in delinquencies and impaired loans | | | | | | |
|
| ● | Levels of and trends in charge-offs and recoveries | | | | | | |
|
| ● | Trends in volume and terms of loans | | | | | | |
|
| ● | Effects of any changes in risk selection and underwriting standards | | | | | | |
|
| ● | Other changes in lending policies, procedures and practices | | | | | | |
|
| ● | Experience, ability and depth of lending management and other relevant staff | | | | | | |
|
| ● | National and local economic trends and conditions | | | | | | |
|
| ● | Industry conditions | | | | | | |
|
| ● | Effects of changes in credit concentrations | | | | | | |
|
A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis for commercial and non-residential loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. |
|
A discussion of the risk characteristics and the allowance for estimated losses on loans, by each portfolio segment, follows: |
|
For commercial loans, the Company focuses on small and mid-sized businesses that have annual revenues below $5,000,000 with primary operations as wholesalers, manufacturers, building contractors, business services companies, and retailers. The Company provides a wide range of commercial loans, including lines of credit for working capital and operational purposes, and term loans for the acquisition of facilities, equipment and other purposes. The Company also originates commercial loans through Bankers Health Group (BHG). BHG specializes in loans to healthcare professionals of all specialties throughout the United States. The loans for BHG are primarily comprised of working capital and equipment loans. We underwrite these loans based on our criteria and service the loans in-house. Approval is generally based on the following factors: |
|
| • | Ability and stability of current management of the borrower; | | | | | | |
|
| • | Stable earnings with positive financial trends; | | | | | | |
|
| • | Sufficient cash flow to support debt repayment; | | | | | | |
|
| • | Earnings projections based on reasonable assumptions; | | | | | | |
|
| • | Financial strength of the industry and business; and | | | | | | |
|
| • | Value and marketability of collateral. | | | | | | |
|
Collateral for commercial loans generally includes accounts receivable, inventory, and equipment. The lending policy specifies approved collateral types and corresponding maximum advance percentages. The value of collateral pledged on loans must exceed the loan amount by a margin sufficient to absorb potential erosion of its value in the event of foreclosure and cover the loan amount plus costs incurred to convert it to cash. The lending policy specifies maximum term limits for commercial loans. For term loans, the maximum term is 5 years. Generally, term loans range from 3 to 5 years. For lines of credit, the maximum term is 365 days. In addition, the Company often takes personal guarantees as support for repayment. Loans may be made on an unsecured basis if warranted by the overall financial condition of the borrower. |
|
Non-residential real estate loans are subject to underwriting standards and processes similar to commercial loans, in addition to those standards and processes specific to real estate loans. Collateral for non-residential real estate loans generally includes the underlying real estate and improvements, and may include additional assets of the borrower. The lending policy specifies maximum loan-to-value limits based on the category of non-residential real estate (non-residential real estate loans on improved property, raw land, land development, and commercial construction). These limits are the same limits established by regulatory authorities. The lending policy also includes guidelines for real estate appraisals, including minimum appraisal standards based on certain transactions. In addition, the Company often takes personal guarantees as support for repayment. |
|
Some of the non-residential loans that the Company originates finance the construction of residential dwellings and land development. For land development, the loans generally can be made with a maximum loan to value ratio of 70% and a maximum term up to 10 years. Additionally, the Company will underwrite commercial construction loans for commercial development projects including condominiums, apartment buildings, single-family subdivisions, single-family speculation loans, as well as owner-occupied properties used for business. These loans provide for payment of interest only during the construction phase and may, in the case of an apartment or commercial building, convert to a permanent loan upon completion. In the case of a single family subdivision or construction or builder loan, as individual lots are sold, the principal balance is reduced by a minimum of 80% of the net lot sales price. In the case of a commercial construction loan, the construction period may be from nine months to two years. Loans are generally made to a maximum of 70% of the appraised value as determined by an appraisal of the property made by an independent state certified general real estate appraiser. Periodic inspections are required of the property during the term of the construction loan for both residential and commercial construction loans. |
|
For commercial and non-residential real estate loans, the allowance for estimated losses on loans consists of specific and general components. For loans that are considered impaired as defined above, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. |
|
The Company hires an independent firm to perform a loan review annually to validate the risk ratings on commercial and non-residential loans. Additionally, the reviews include an analysis of debt service requirements, covenant compliance, if applicable, and collateral adequacy. They also perform a documentation review on selected loans to determine if the credit is properly documented and closed in accordance with approval authorities and conditions. |
|
Generally, the Company’s one-to-four family real estate loans conform to the underwriting standards of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae which would allow the Company the ability to resell the loans in the secondary market. The Company structures most loans that will not conform to those underwriting requirements as adjustable rate mortgages that adjust in one, three or five year increments and retains those in its portfolio. The board approved lending policy establishes minimum appraisal and credit underwriting guidelines, The Company also participates with the USDA Rural Development Company to offer loans to qualifying borrowers. USDA guaranteed loans are granted up to 100% of the appraised value and the USDA guarantees up to 90% of the loan. These loans typically require no down payment, but are subject to maximum income limitations. |
|
The Company also originates loans for multi-family dwellings. These loans follow board and regulatory approved underwriting guidelines similar to commercial loans, in addition to those standards and processes specific to real estate loans. Collateral for multi-family real estate loans generally includes the underlying real estate and improvements, and may include additional assets of the borrower. The board approved lending policy specifies maximum loan-to-value limits based on the type of property. The lending policy also includes guidelines for real estate appraisals, including minimum appraisal standards based on certain transactions. The policy also specifies minimum ongoing credit administration procedures including the collection of financial statements, tax returns and rent rolls when applicable. Additionally, the Company will take personal guarantees and cross collateralize other assets of the guarantors as support for repayment. |
|
The Company provides many types of installment and other consumer loans including motor vehicle, home improvement, share loans, personal unsecured loans, home equity, and small personal credit lines. The lending policy addresses specific credit guidelines by consumer loan type. Unsecured loans generally have a maximum borrowing limit of $25,000 and a maximum term of four years. |
|
The procedures for underwriting consumer loans include an assessment of the applicant’s payment history on other debts and ability to meet existing obligations and payments on the proposed loans. Although the applicant’s credit-worthiness is a primary consideration, the underwriting process also includes a comparison of the value of the collateral, if any, to the proposed loan amount. |
|
The Company purchases auto loans from regulated financial institutions. These types of loans are primarily low balance individual auto loans. The Company reviews the loans at least three days prior to the purchase. Any specific loan can be refused within thirty days of the sale of any given loan pool. |
|
For residential real estate loans, multi-family, consumer direct loans (e.g. installment, in-house auto, other consumer loans, etc.) and purchased auto loans, the allowance for estimated losses on loans consists of a specific and general component. The specific component is evaluated for only loans that are classified as impaired, which is based on current information and events if it is probable that the company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments according to the terms of the agreement. Impairment on these is measured on a case-by-case basis by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. For large groups of smaller balance homogenous loans that are under 90 days past due, they are collectively evaluated for impairment. To determine the general component, the Company applies quantitative factors based on historical charge-off experience in total for each segment. Additionally, the historical loss factors are adjusted based on qualitative factors determined by the Company which impact each segment. |
|
For residential real estate loans, multi-family real estate loans, consumer direct loans and purchased auto loans, loans are not risk ranked individually. They are only classified when the borrower is 90 days or more past due or if the borrower has another loan with the Company that is over 90 days past due and dependent upon the same collateral. Under such circumstances, all of the loans connected with the collateral are classified as substandard and these loans are evaluated for impairment. |
|
Troubled debt restructurings are considered impaired loans and are subject to the same allowance methodology as described above for impaired loans by portfolio segment. |
Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
Servicing |
|
Servicing assets are recognized as separate assets when rights are acquired through purchase or through sale of financial assets. For sales of mortgage loans, a portion of the cost of originating the loan is allocated to the servicing right based on fair value. Fair value is based on market prices for comparable mortgage servicing contracts, when available, or alternatively, is based on a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income. The valuation model incorporates assumptions that market participants would use in estimating future net servicing income, such as the cost to service, the discount rate, the custodial earnings rate, an inflation rate, ancillary income, prepayment speeds and default rates and losses. Capitalized servicing rights are amortized into non-interest income in proportion to, and over the period of, the estimated future net servicing income of the underlying financial assets. |
|
Servicing assets are evaluated for impairment based upon the fair value of the rights as compared to amortized cost. Impairment is determined by stratifying rights into tranches based on predominant risk characteristics, such as interest rate, loan type and investor type. Impairment is recognized through a valuation allowance for an individual tranche, to the extent that fair value is less than the capitalized amount for the tranche. If the Company later determines that all or a portion of the impairment no longer exists for a particular tranche, a reduction of the allowance may be recorded as an increase to income. |
|
Servicing fee income is recorded for fees earned for servicing loans. The fees are based on a contractual percentage of the outstanding principal or a fixed amount per loan and are recorded as income when earned. The amortization of mortgage servicing rights is netted against loan servicing fee income. |
|
Transfers of financial assets |
|
Transfers of financial assets are accounted for as sales when control over the assets has been surrendered. Control over transferred assets is deemed to be surrendered when (1) the assets have been isolated from the Company, (2) the transferee obtains the right (free of conditions that constrain it from taking advantage of that right) to pledge or exchange the transferred assets, and (3) the Company does not maintain effective control over the transferred assets through an agreement to repurchase them before their maturity. |
Real Estate, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
Foreclosed real estate |
|
Real estate properties acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value less estimated costs to sell at the date of foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management and the assets are carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less estimated cost to sell. Revenue and expenses from operations and changes in the valuation allowance are included in other expenses. |
Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
Income taxes |
|
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed quarterly for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to amounts which are more likely than not realizable. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities. |
|
Deferred income tax expense results from changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities between periods. Deferred tax assets are recognized if it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the tax position will be realized or sustained upon examination. The term more likely than not means a likelihood of more than 50 percent; the terms examined and upon examination also include resolution of the related appeals or litigation process, if any. A tax position that meets the more likely than not recognition threshold is initially and subsequently measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. The determination of whether or not a tax position has met the more likely than not recognition threshold considers the facts, circumstances, and information available at the reporting date and is subject to management’s judgment. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of evidence available, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company has no uncertain tax positions for which a liability has been recorded. The Company is no longer subject to examination by federal or state taxing authorities for the tax year 2009 and the years prior. |
Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
Premises and equipment |
|
Land is carried at cost. Premises and equipment are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Premises and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line and accelerated depreciation methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets: |
|
| | Years | | | | |
Buildings | | 5 | - | 50 | | | | |
Furniture and equipment | | 5 | - | 39 | | | | |
Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
Employee stock ownership plan |
|
The Bank has an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) covering substantially all employees. The cost of shares issued to the ESOP but not yet allocated to participants is presented in the consolidated balance sheets as a reduction of stockholders’ equity. Compensation expense is recorded based on the market price of the shares as they are committed to be released for allocation to participant accounts. |
Share-based Compensation, Option and Incentive Plans Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
Stock-based compensation |
|
The Company recognizes compensation cost for all stock-based awards based on the estimated grant date fair value. The fair value of stock options are estimated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model and amortized to expense over the option’s vesting periods, as more fully disclosed in Note 11. |
Off-Balance-Sheet Credit Exposure, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
Off-balance-sheet financial instruments |
|
Financial instruments include off-balance-sheet credit instruments, such as commitments to originate loans, issued to meet customer financing needs. The face amount for these items represents the exposure to loss, before considering customer collateral or ability to repay. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded. |
Comprehensive Income, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
Comprehensive income (loss) |
|
Comprehensive income (loss) consists of net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) includes unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale net of the related tax effect. |
Commitments and Contingencies, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
Loss contingencies |
|
Loss contingencies, including claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. In the normal course of business, management will reach settlements over legal issues which are recorded in the period received. Management does not believe there are any such matters that will have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements. |
Fair Value Measurement, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
Fair value measurements |
|
In accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants and is not adjusted for transaction costs. This guidance also establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure of fair value measurements. See Note 15 for additional information. |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
Fair value of financial instruments |
|
Fair values of financial instruments are estimated using relevant market information and other assumptions, as more fully disclosed in Note 16. Fair value estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment regarding interest rates, credit risk, prepayments, and other factors, especially in the absence of broad markets for particular items. Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect the estimates. |
Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block] | ' |
Earnings per share |
|
Basic earnings per share is based on net income divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period, including allocated and committed-to-be-released Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) shares and vested Management Recognition Plan (“MRP”) shares. Diluted earnings per share show the dilutive effect, if any, of additional common shares issuable under stock options and awards. See Note 11 for additional information on the MRP and RRP plans. |

In February, 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. The Update improves the reporting of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income by requiring an entity to report the effect of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the respective line items in net income if the amount being reclassified is required under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) to be reclassified in its entirety to net income. For other amounts that are not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income in the same reporting period, an entity is required to cross-reference other disclosures required under U.S. GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. The adoption of ASU No. 2013-02 on January 1, 2013 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operation or cash flows. |

In January 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-04, Receivables - Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40): Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure. The update 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 (i) the creditor obtaining legal title to the residential real estate property upon completion of a foreclosure or (ii) 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 agreement. In addition, the update requires disclosure of both the amount of foreclosed residential real estate property held by the creditor and the recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that are in the process of foreclosure in accordance with local requirements of the applicable jurisdiction. An entity can elect to adopt the amendments using either a modified retrospective method or a prospective transition method. The amendments are effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2014, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this update to have a significant impact on its financial position, results of operation or cash flows. |
