The Bank allocated increased allowance for loan loss provisions to the commercial real estate and lines of credit and construction portfolio classes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, due to increased balances in these portfolio classes.
A loan is identified as a troubled debt restructuring ("TDR") if the Company, for economic or legal reasons related to a debtor's financial difficulties, grants a concession to the debtor that it would not otherwise consider. Concessions granted under a TDR typically involve a temporary or permanent reduction in payments or interest rate or an extension of a loan's stated maturity date at less than a current market rate of interest. Loans identified as TDRs are designated as impaired.
For loans secured by real estate, estimated fair values are determined primarily through third-party appraisals. When a real estate secured loan becomes impaired, a decision is made regarding whether an updated certified appraisal of the real estate is necessary. This decision is based on various considerations, including the age of the most recent appraisal, the loan-to-value ratio based on the original appraisal and the condition of the property. Appraised values are discounted to arrive at the estimated selling price of the collateral, which is considered to be the estimated fair value. The discounts also include estimated costs to sell the property.
The allowance calculation methodology includes further segregation of loan classes into risk rating categories. The borrower's overall financial condition, repayment sources, guarantors and value of collateral, if appropriate, are evaluated annually for all loans (except one-to-four family residential owner-occupied loans) where the total amount outstanding to any borrower or group of borrowers exceeds $500,000, or when credit deficiencies arise, such as delinquent loan payments. Credit quality risk ratings include regulatory classifications of special mention, substandard, doubtful and loss. Loans criticized special mention have potential weaknesses that deserve management's close attention. If uncorrected, the potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects. Loans classified substandard have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They include loans that are inadequately protected by the current sound net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans classified doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in loans classified substandard with the added characteristic that collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of current conditions and facts, is highly improbable. Loans classified as a loss are considered uncollectible and are charged to the allowance for loan losses. Loans not classified are rated pass. In addition, Federal regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company's allowance for loan losses and may require the Company to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination, which may not be currently available to management. Based on management's comprehensive analysis of the loan portfolio, management believes the current level of the allowance for loan losses is adequate.
Income Taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined using the liability (or balance sheet) method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the tax effects of the temporary differences between the book and tax bases of the various assets and liabilities and net operating loss carryforwards and gives current recognition to changes in tax rates and laws. The realization of our deferred tax assets principally depends upon our achieving projected future taxable income. We may change our judgments regarding future profitability due to future market conditions and other factors. We may adjust our deferred tax asset balances if our judgments change.
Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014
General. The Company's total assets at June 30, 2015 were $167.7 million, an increase of $12.1 million, or 7.8%, from $155.6 million at December 31, 2014. This growth in total assets was primarily due to a $17.9 million, or 14.6%, increase in loans receivable, net, and a $2.8 million, or 108.6% increase in loans held for sale, partially offset by an $8.9 million, or 63.8% decrease in cash and cash equivalents as the Company used excess liquidity to fund loan growth.
Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents decreased $8.9 million, or 63.8%, from $13.9 million at December 31, 2014 to $5.0 million at June 30, 2015 as excess liquidity was used to fund loan growth.
Loans Held for Sale. Loans held for sale increased $2.8 million to $5.3 million at June 30, 2015 from $2.5 million at December 31, 2014 as the Bank's mortgage banking subsidiary, Quaint Oak Mortgage, LLC, originated $23.2 million of one-to-four family residential loans during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and sold $20.4 million of loans in the secondary market during this same period.
Loans Receivable, Net. Loans receivable, net, increased $17.9 million, or 14.6%, to $141.3 million at June 30, 2015 from $123.3 million December 31, 2014. This increase was funded primarily from deposits, excess liquidity in cash and cash equivalents, and FHLB borrowings. Increases within the portfolio occurred in the commercial real estate loan category which increased $7.1 million, or 20.0%, construction loans which increased $6.7 million, or 46.5%, one-to-four family residential non-owner occupied loans which increased $2.0 million, or 4.0%, commercial business loans which increased $1.8 million, or 243.0%, commercial lines of credit which increased $588,000, or 36.2%, multi-family residential loans which increased $391,000, or 3.9%, and other consumer loans which increased $24,000, or 58.5%. Partially offsetting these increases was a decrease in one-to-four family residential owner occupied loans which decreased $359,000, or 5.1% and home equity loans which decreased $75,000, or 1.1%. The Company continues its strategy of diversifying its loan portfolio with higher yielding and shorter-term loan products and selling substantially all of its newly originated one-to-four family owner-occupied loans into the secondary market.
Other Real Estate Owned, Net. Other real estate owned (OREO) amounted to $508,000 at June 30, 2015, consisting of five properties. This compares to one property with a carrying value of $111,000 at December 31, 2014. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company transferred five properties into OREO totaling $445,000, made $60,000 of capital improvements to the properties, sold one property with a carrying value of $108,000, and is in the process of marketing the other properties for sale.
Deposits. Total interest-bearing deposits increased $9.3 million, or 7.5%, to $133.1 million at June 30, 2015 from $123.8 million at December 31, 2014. This increase in interest-bearing deposits was primarily attributable to a $9.1 million, or 9.5% increase in certificates of deposit and a $3.1 million, or 16.3% increase in money market accounts, partially offset by a $1.9 million, or 34.3% decrease in savings accounts and a $1.0 million, or 39.8% decrease in passbook accounts. Total non-interest bearing checking accounts, a new product introduced during December 2014, increased $302,000, or 47.2%, to $942,000 at June 30, 2015 from $640,000 at December 31, 2014.
Federal Home Loan Bank Advances. Total Federal Home Loan Bank advances increased $2.0 million, or 17.4%, to $13.5 million at June 30, 2015 from $11.5 million at December 31, 2014. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company made no repayments and borrowed an additional $2.0 million to fund loan demand.
Stockholders' Equity. Total stockholders' equity increased $622,000, or 3.5% to $18.2 million at June 30, 2015 from $17.6 million at December 31, 2014. Contributing to the increase was net income for the six months ended June 30, 2015 of $583,000, common stock earned by participants in the employee stock ownership plan of $73,000, amortization of stock awards and options under our stock compensation plans of $65,000, and the reissuance of stock under the Bank's 401(k) Plan of $33,000. These increases were partially offset by dividends paid of $118,000, the purchase of 478 shares of the Company's stock as part of the Company's stock repurchase program for an aggregate purchase price of $10,000, and an increase in other comprehensive loss of $4,000.
Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2015 and 2014
General. Net income amounted to $374,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2015, an increase of $49,000, or 15.1%, compared to net income of $325,000 for three months ended June 30, 2014. The increase in net income on a comparative quarterly basis was primarily the result of increases in net interest income of $257,000 and non-interest income of $15,000, and a decrease in the provision for loan losses of $5,000, partially offset by an increase in non-interest expense of $200,000 and an increase in the provision for income taxes of $28,000.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $257,000, or 18.8%, to $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 from $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 due primarily to a $352,000, or 19.8% increase in interest income partially offset by a $95,000, or 23.2% increase in interest expense.
Interest Income. Interest income increased $352,000, or 19.8%, to $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 from $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The increase in interest income was primarily due to a $25.4 million increase in average loans receivable, net, including loans held for sale, which increased from an average balance of $117.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 to an average balance of $142.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, and had the effect of increasing interest income $377,000. Partially offsetting this increase was a 7 basis point decline in the average yield on loans receivable, net, including loans held for sale, from 5.92% for the three months ended June 30, 2014 to 5.85% for the three months ended June 30, 2015, which had the effect of decreasing interest income by $25,000.
Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $95,000, or 23.2%, to $505,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 from $410,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The increase in interest expense was primarily attributable to a $20.0 million increase in average interest-bearing deposits, which increased from an average balance of $110.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 to an average balance of $129.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, and had the effect of increasing interest expense $82,000. Also contributing to this increase was a 50 basis point increase in the average rate on FHLB borrowings, from 0.24% for the three months ended June 30, 2014 to 0.74% for the three months ended June 30, 2015, which had the effect of increasing interest expense by $16,000, and a $4.7 million increase in average FHLB borrowings which increased from an average balance of $8.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 to an average balance of $12.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, and had the effect of increasing interest expense $3,000. The increase in average interest-bearing deposit accounts on a comparative three month basis was due to the competitive interest rates offered by the Bank, while the increase in the average FHLB borrowings was attributable to funding loan demand.

Provision for Loan Losses. The Company's provision for loan losses decreased by $5,000, or 4.0%, from $126,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 to $121,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2015, based on an evaluation of the allowance relative to such factors as volume of the loan portfolio, concentrations of credit risk, prevailing economic conditions, prior loan loss experience and amount of non-performing loans at June 30, 2015.
Non-performing loans amounted to $2.2 million, or 1.56% of net loans receivable at June 30, 2015, consisting of sixteen loans, nine of which were on non-accrual status and seven of which were 90 days or more past due and accruing interest. Comparably, non-performing loans amounted to $2.8 million, or 2.30% of net loans receivable at December 31, 2014, consisting of twenty-two loans, sixteen of which were on non-accrual status and six of which were 90 days or more past due and accruing interest. The non-performing loans at June 30, 2015 include seven commercial real estate loans, five one-to-four family non-owner occupied residential loans, three one-to-four family owner-occupied residential loans, and one home equity loan, and all are generally well-collateralized or adequately reserved for. During the quarter ended June 30, 2015, one loan that was on non-accrual status was paid-off and one property that was collateral for a loan on non-accrual was transferred to other real estate owned. At June 30, 2015, the Company had thirteen loans totaling $1.12 million that were identified as troubled debt restructurings (TDRs). Twelve of these loans totaling $1.07 million were performing in accordance with their modified terms and one loan totaling $51,000 was on non-accrual. During the quarter ended June 30, 2015, one property that was collateral for a loan previously identified as a TDR was transferred to OREO. The allowance for loan losses as a percent of total loans receivable was 0.90% at June 30, 2015 and 0.92% at December 31, 2014.
Other real estate owned (OREO) amounted to $508,000 at June 30, 2015, consisting of five properties. This compares to one property with a carrying value of $111,000 at December 31, 2014. During the quarter ended June 30, 2015, one property that had been collateral for a loan previously classified as non-accrual and one property that had been collateral for a loan that was previously classified as a TDR were transferred to OREO. In conjunction with these transfers, $30,000 of the outstanding loan balance was charged-off through the allowance for loan losses. Also during the quarter, the Company sold one OREO property with a carrying value of $108,000 and realized a loss of approximately $2,000 on the transaction. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company transferred five properties into OREO totaling $445,000, made $60,000 of capital improvements to the properties, sold one property with a carrying value of $108,000, and is in the process of marketing the other properties for sale. Non-performing assets amounted to $2.7 million, or 1.62% of total assets at June 30, 2015 compared to $2.9 million, or 1.89% of total assets at December 31, 2014.
Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income increased $15,000 or 2.7%, for the three months ended June 30, 2015 over the comparable period in 2014 due primarily to a $40,000 increase in other fees and services charges, a $28,000 increase in fee income generated by the Bank's mortgage banking and title abstract subsidiaries, an $18,000 increase in income from bank-owned life insurance, and a $13,000 decrease in the loss on sale of other real estate owned, partially offset by a $68,000 decrease in net gain on the sales of residential mortgage loans and a $16,000 decrease in the gain on the sale of SBA loans.
Non-Interest Expense. Non-interest expense increased $200,000, or 15.7%, from $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 to $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015. Salaries and employee benefits expense accounted for $177,000 of the change as this expense increased 21.6%, from $821,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 to $998,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 due primarily to increased staff as the Company continues to expand its mortgage banking and lending operations. Also contributing to the period over period increase was a $43,000, or 45.3%, increase in other expense,a $7,000, or 30.4% increase in FDIC insurance assessment, a $5,000, or 19.2% increase in advertising expense, and a $2,000, or 1.5% increase in occupancy and equipment expense. These increases were partially offset by a $19,000, or 16.7% decrease in professional fees, a 14,000, or 155.6% decrease in other real estate owned expense, and a $1,000, or 1.9% decrease in directors' fees and expenses.
Provision for Income Tax. The provision for income tax increased $28,000, or 14.1%, from $198,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 to $226,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 due primarily to the increase in pre-tax income as our effective tax rate remained relatively consistent at 37.7% for the 2015 period compared to 37.9% for the comparable period in 2014.
Comparison of Operating Results for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 and 2014
General. Net income amounted to $583,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015, an increase of $58,000, or 11.0%, compared to net income of $525,000 for six months ended June 30, 2014. The increase in net income was primarily the result of an increase in net interest income of $402,000, an increase in non-interest income of $123,000, and a decrease in the provision for loan losses of $17,000, partially offset by increases in non-interest expense of $455,000 and the provision for income taxes of $29,000.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $402,000, or 14.7%, to $3.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from $2.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 due primarily to a $583,000, or 16.5% increase in interest income partially offset by a $181,000, or 22.7% increase in interest expense.
Interest Income. The increase in interest income was primarily due to a $22.3 million increase in average loans receivable, net, including loans held for sale, which increased from an average balance of $113.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 to an average balance of $136.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, and had the effect of increasing interest income $677,000. Partially offsetting this increase was a 17 basis point decline in the average yield on loans receivable, net, including loans held for sale, from 6.06% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 to 5.89% for the six months ended June 30, 2015, which had the effect of decreasing interest income by $116,000. Also contributing to the increase in interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was a $4.0 million increase in average short-term investments and investment securities available for sale, which increased from an average balance of $12.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 to an average balance of $16.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, and had the effect of increasing interest income $27,000. Partially offsetting this increase was a 7 basis point decline in the average yield on short-term investments and investment securities available for sale, from 1.41% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 to 1.34% for the six months ended June 30, 2015, which had the effect of decreasing interest income by $5,000.
Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $181,000, or 22.7%, to $980,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 from $799,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The increase in interest expense was primarily attributable to a $19.8 million increase in average interest-bearing deposits, which increased from an average balance of $107.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 to an average balance of $127.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, and had the effect of increasing interest expense $159,000. Also contributing to this increase was a 48 basis point increase in the average rate on FHLB borrowings, from 0.22% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 to 0.70% for the six months ended June 30, 2015, which had the effect of increasing interest expense by $29,000, and a $5.0 million increase in average FHLB borrowings which increased from an average balance of $7.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 to an average balance of $12.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, and had the effect of increasing interest expense $6,000. The increase in average total deposit accounts on a comparative six month basis was due to the competitive interest rates offered by the Bank, while the increase in the average FHLB borrowings was attributable to funding loan demand.

Provision for Loan Losses. The Company decreased its provision for loan losses by $17,000, or 7.5% from $226,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 to $209,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015. As was the case for the quarter, the decrease was based on an evaluation of the allowance relative to such factors as volume of the loan portfolio, concentrations of credit risk, prevailing economic conditions, prior loan loss experience and amount of non-performing loans. See additional discussion under "Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2015 and 2014-Provision for Loan Losses."
Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income increased $123,000 or 14.2%, for the six months ended June 30, 2015 over the comparable period in 2014 due primarily to a $60,000 increase in fee income generated by the Bank's mortgage banking and title abstract subsidiaries, a $39,000 increase in income from bank-owned life insurance, a $38,000 increase in other fees and services charges, a $36,000 decrease in the loss on sale of other real estate owned, and a $1,000 increase in other non-interest income, partially offset by a $42,000 decrease in net gain on the sales of residential mortgage loans and a $9,000 decrease in the gain on the sale of SBA loans.
Non-Interest Expense. Non-interest expense increased $455,000, or 18.0%, from $2.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 to $3.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. Salaries and employee benefits expense accounted for $397,000 of the change as this expense increased 24.2%, from $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 to $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 due primarily to increased staff as the Company continues to expand its mortgage banking and lending operations. Also contributing to the period over period increase was a $64,000, or 33.9%, increase in other expense, a $17,000, or 6.3% increase in occupancy and equipment expense, a $10,000, or 19.2% increase in advertising expense, and a $7,000, or 13.7% increase in FDIC insurance assessment. These increases were partially offset by a $24,000, 12.2% decrease in professional fees, a $14,000, or 82.4% decrease in other real estate owned expense, and a $2,000, or 1.9% decrease in directors' fees and expenses.
Provision for Income Tax. The provision for income tax increased $29,000, or 8.7%, from $334,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 to $363,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 due primarily to the increase in pre-tax income as our effective tax rate remained relatively consistent at 38.4% for the 2015 period compared to 38.9% for the comparable period in 2014.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's primary sources of funds are deposits, amortization and prepayment of loans and to a lesser extent, loan sales and other funds provided from operations. While scheduled principal and interest payments on loans are a relatively predictable source of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. The Company sets the interest rates on its deposits to maintain a desired level of total deposits. In addition, the Company invests excess funds in short-term interest-earning assets that provide additional liquidity. At June 30, 2015, the Company's cash and cash equivalents amounted to $5.0 million. At such date, the Company also had $1.5 million invested in interest-earning time deposits maturing in one year or less.
The Company uses its liquidity to fund existing and future loan commitments, to fund deposit outflows, to invest in other interest-earning assets and to meet operating expenses. At June 30, 2015, Quaint Oak Bank had outstanding commitments to originate loans of $11.2 million and commitments under unused lines of credit of $17.5 million.
At June 30, 2015, certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in less than one year totaled $33.0 million. Based on prior experience, management believes that a significant portion of such deposits will remain with us, although there can be no assurance that this will be the case.
In addition to cash flow from loan payments and prepayments and deposits, the Company has significant borrowing capacity available to fund liquidity needs. If the Company requires funds beyond its ability to generate them internally, borrowing agreements exist with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh, which provide an additional source of funds. As of June 30, 2015, we had $13.5 million of borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh and had $67.8 million in borrowing capacity. In addition, as of June 30, 2015 Quaint Oak Bank had $984,000 in borrowing capacity with the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia. There were no borrowings under this facility at June 30, 2015.
Our stockholders' equity amounted to $18.2 million at June 30, 2015, an increase of $622,000, or 3.5% from $17.6 million at December 31, 2014. Contributing to the increase was net income for the six months ended June 30, 2015 of $583,000, common stock earned by participants in the employee stock ownership plan of $73,000, amortization of stock awards and options under our stock compensation plans of $65,000, and the reissuance of stock under the Bank's 401(k) Plan of $33,000. These increases were partially offset by dividends paid of $118,000, the purchase of 478 shares of the Company's stock as part of the Company's stock repurchase program for an aggregate purchase price of $10,000, and an increase in other comprehensive loss of $4,000. For further discussion of the stock compensation plans, see Note 9 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained elsewhere herein.
Quaint Oak Bank is required to maintain regulatory capital sufficient to meet tier 1 leverage, common tier 1 capital, tier 1 risk-based and total risk-based capital ratios of at least 4.00%, 4.50%, 6.00%, and 8.00%, respectively. At June 30, 2015, Quaint Oak Bank exceeded each of its capital requirements with ratios of 10.33%, 13.95%, 13.95% and 15.03%, respectively. As a small savings and loan holding company, the Company is not currently subject to any regulatory capital requirements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
In the normal course of operations, we engage in a variety of financial transactions that, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles are not recorded in our financial statements. These transactions involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, interest rate, and liquidity risk. Such transactions are used primarily to manage customers' requests for funding and take the form of loan commitments and lines of credit. Our exposure to credit loss from non-performance by the other party to the above-mentioned financial instruments is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. We use the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as we do for on-balance sheet instruments. In general, we do not require collateral or other security to support financial instruments with off–balance sheet credit risk.
Commitments. At June 30, 2015, we had unfunded commitments under lines of credit of $17.5 million and $11.2 million of commitments to originate loans. We had no commitments to advance additional amounts pursuant to outstanding lines of credit or undisbursed construction loans.
Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices
The consolidated financial statements and related financial data presented herein have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which generally require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars, without considering changes in relative purchasing power over time due to inflation. Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all of Company's assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates generally have a more significant impact on the Company's performance than does the effect of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or in the same magnitude as the prices of goods and services, since such prices are affected by inflation to a larger extent than interest rates.
