• | competition among depository and other financial institutions; |
• | inflation and changes in the interest rate environment that reduce our margins or reduce the fair value of financial instruments; |

On January 20, 2010, we completed the mutual-to-stock conversion of the Bank and initial public stock offering of the Company. The Company sold 11,902,500 shares raising $119.0 million in gross proceeds. The Company received net proceeds from the offering of $115.5 million and loaned $9.5 million to the Bank’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan to enable it to purchase 952,200 shares of common stock in the offering. The Company contributed $86.6 million of the remaining net proceeds of $106.0 million to the Bank and the remainder was retained by the Company to be utilized for general corporate purposes. Since the completion of our initial public offering, we have not engaged in any significant business activity other than owning the common stock of the Bank. At December 31, 2013, we had consolidated assets of $1.39 billion, loans of $824.9 million, deposits of $813.6 million, and stockholders’ equity of $207.1 million.
Our executive offices are located at 1320 South University Drive, Suite 900, Fort Worth, Texas 76107. Our telephone number at this address is (817) 367-4640 and our Internet website address is www.omniamerican.com.
The Bank is a federally chartered savings bank headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas. The Bank was originally chartered in 1956 as a federal credit union serving the active and retired military personnel of Carswell Air Force Base. We completed the conversion from a Texas credit union charter to a federal mutual savings bank charter as of January 1, 2006. The objective of the charter conversion was to convert to a banking charter in order to carry out our business strategy of broadening our banking services into residential real estate and commercial lending, selling loans, and servicing loans for others, which has allowed us to better serve the needs of our customers and the local community.
The Bank’s principal business consists primarily of accepting deposits from the general public and investing those deposits, together with funds generated from operations and borrowings, in loans and investments. Our lending activity has focused primarily on mortgage loans secured by residential real estate, consumer loans, consisting primarily of indirect automobile loans (automobile loans referred to us by automobile dealerships), and to a lesser extent, commercial real estate, real estate construction, commercial business, and direct automobile loans. In recent years, we have increased our residential real estate, real estate construction, commercial real estate and commercial business lending while deemphasizing our consumer lending activities.
On October 9, 2013, the Company announced its plan to discontinue the purchase of automobile loans originated through dealerships in order to further strengthen the Company’s focus on its commercial, direct retail and mortgage lending strategies. In addition, the Company eliminated 24 positions in the automobile lending and administrative functions, or approximately eight percent of its total workforce. The Company recorded employee separation expense of approximately $599,000 during the fourth quarter of 2013 as a result of the workforce reduction.
Loans are originated from our main office in Fort Worth, Texas, and from the Bank’s branch network in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex and surrounding communities in North Texas. We generally sell the long-term, fixed-rate one- to four-family residential real estate loans (terms 15 years or greater) that we originate either to the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”) on a servicing-retained basis or into the secondary mortgage market on a servicing-released basis, in order to generate fee income and for interest rate risk management purposes. We retain in our portfolio all adjustable-rate loans that we originate, as well as fixed-rate one- to four-family residential real estate loans with terms less than 15 years.
In addition to loans, we invest in a variety of investments, primarily government-sponsored mortgage-backed securities and government-sponsored collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”), and to a lesser extent agency bonds, municipal obligations, and equity securities. At December 31, 2013, our investment securities portfolio had an amortized cost of $433.6 million.
We attract retail deposits from the general public in the areas surrounding our main office and our branch offices. We offer a variety of deposit accounts, including noninterest-bearing and interest-bearing demand accounts, savings accounts, money market accounts, and certificates of deposit.
Our revenues are derived primarily from interest on loans, mortgage-backed securities, and other investment securities. We also generate revenues from fees and service charges. Our primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest payments on securities and loans, and borrowings.
The Securities and Exchange Commission’s Division of Corporation Finance staff issued disclosure guidance that summarizes its observations about Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) and accounting policy disclosures of smaller financial institutions. The focus of the guidance is on asset quality and loan accounting issues. Please refer to Note 4 of our audited financial statements for our detailed disclosures related to asset quality and loan accounting issues.

Available Information
OmniAmerican Bancorp, Inc.’s annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8‑K and all amendments to these reports will be made available free of charge through our Internet website, www.omniamerican.com, as soon as reasonably practicable after such material is electronically filed with, or furnished to, the Securities and Exchange Commission. Except as otherwise stated in these reports, the information contained on our website or available by hyperlink from our website is not incorporated into this Annual Report on Form 10-K or other documents we file with, or furnish to, the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Market Area
Our primary market area is the area surrounding our main office in Fort Worth, Texas which includes the communities in the Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington metropolitan statistical area (“MSA”). This area, commonly referred to as the “Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex,” encompasses 12 counties in North Texas: Collin, Dallas, Delta, Denton, Ellis, Hunt, Johnson, Kaufman, Parker, Rockwall, Tarrant, and Wise Counties. The Bank also has a branch located in Hood County, Texas. The total area of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex is approximately 9,000 square miles.
The Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex’s central location, transportation infrastructure, young and educated labor force, diverse collection of industries and pro-business atmosphere foster a prosperous economic environment that provides an outstanding base for future growth. The area is home to 18 Fortune 500 corporations including Exxon-Mobil, AT&T, American Airlines, Texas Instruments, Fluor, and Kimberly-Clark as well as over 10,000 other corporations. The area’s balance of high-tech, health care, energy, finance, transportation, and other industries means that, even when other regional economies flounder, the area’s economy continues to be strong.
The Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex is the largest population center in Texas and the fourth largest in the United States with a population of 6.6 million in 2012. The population in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex grew 1.9% in 2012 from a population of 6.5 million in 2011, exceeding the state and national population increases of 1.5% and 0.7%, respectively, according to the U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey. Employment in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex rose 2.7% during the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to 2.5% in the state of Texas and 0.8% nationwide. The unemployment rate (not seasonally adjusted) for the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex was 5.4% for December 2013, comparing favorably to the state average of 6.0% and the national average of 6.5%. National forecasts of population and economic growth indicate that the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex will continue to add residents and jobs well into the future.
Competition
We face intense competition in our market area both in making loans and attracting deposits. We compete with commercial banks, savings institutions, mortgage brokerage firms, credit unions, finance companies, mutual funds, insurance companies, and investment banking firms. Some of our competitors have greater name recognition and market presence that benefit them in attracting business, and offer certain services that we do not or cannot provide.
Our deposit sources are primarily concentrated in the communities surrounding our banking offices, located in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex and surrounding communities in North Texas. Based on the most recent branch deposit data provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) (as of June 30, 2013), we ranked ninth in deposit share in Tarrant County, with 2.17% of total deposits, and 27th in deposit share in the Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, Texas MSA, with 0.44% of total deposits. Such data does not reflect deposits held by credit unions.
Lending Activities
Our principal lending activity has focused primarily on the origination of mortgage loans secured by residential real estate, consumer loans, consisting primarily of indirect automobile loans, and to a lesser extent, commercial real estate, commercial business, real estate construction, and direct automobile loans. In recent years, we have increased our residential real estate, real estate construction, commercial real estate and commercial business lending while deemphasizing our consumer lending activities.

One- to Four-Family Residential Real Estate Loans. At December 31, 2013, $262.7 million, or 31.8% of our total loan portfolio, consisted of one- to four-family residential real estate loans. We offer residential real estate loans that conform to Fannie Mae underwriting standards (conforming loans) and non-conforming loans. We generally underwrite our one- to four-family residential real estate loans based on the applicant’s employment and credit history and the appraised value of the subject property. Our loans have fixed rates and adjustable rates, with maturities of up to 30 years, and maximum loan amounts generally of up to $1.0 million. As of December 31, 2013, less than 1% of our one- to four-family residential real estate loans had balances over $1.0 million. At December 31, 2013, fixed-rate one- to four-family residential real estate loans totaled $224.5 million and adjustable-rate one- to four-family residential real estate loans totaled $38.2 million.
We currently offer fixed-rate conventional mortgage loans with terms of up to 30 years that are fully amortizing with monthly loan payments and adjustable-rate mortgage loans that provide an initial fixed interest rate for five, seven, or ten years and that amortize over a period up to 30 years. We do not offer discounted or teaser rates on our adjustable-rate mortgage loans.
Our one- to four-family residential real estate loans are generally conforming loans, underwritten according to Fannie Mae guidelines. We originate both fixed- and adjustable-rate mortgage loans in amounts up to the maximum general conforming loan limits as established by the Federal Housing Finance Agency for Fannie Mae and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”), which as of December 31, 2013 was generally $417,000 for single-family homes in our market area. At December 31, 2013, 4.9% of our one- to four-family residential real estate loans had principal balances in excess of $417,000. At that date, our average one- to four-family residential real estate loan had a principal balance of approximately $125,000. In the current low interest rate environment, most borrowers have preferred fixed-rate loans to our adjustable-rate loan products. We also originate loans above the lending limit for conforming loans, which we refer to as “jumbo loans.” We only originate fixed-rate jumbo loans with terms of up to 30 years and adjustable-rate jumbo loans with initial fixed-rate periods of five, seven, or ten years and which adjust annually. At December 31, 2013, our largest one- to four-family residential real estate loan had an outstanding balance of $3.1 million, was secured by a single-family residence, and was identified as impaired in 2009. The loan was restructured in October 2009 to reduce the interest rate and was performing in accordance with the restructured terms at December 31, 2013.
We will originate loans with loan-to-value ratios in excess of 80%, provided that, with limited exceptions, the borrowers obtain private mortgage insurance. We generally will not originate loans with a loan-to-value ratio in excess of 95%. As of December 31, 2013, $59.0 million, or 22.5% of our residential loan portfolio, had loan-to-value ratios in excess of 80%.
6
We actively monitor our interest rate risk position to determine the desirable level of investment in fixed-rate mortgages. We generally retain in our portfolio fixed-rate one- to four-family residential real estate loans with terms less than 15 years. We currently sell most of our long-term, fixed-rate one- to four-family residential real estate loans (terms 15 years or greater) that we originate into the secondary mortgage market to government-sponsored enterprises, such as Fannie Mae, or other purchasers. Such loans are sold without recourse. We generally retain the servicing rights on all loans sold to Fannie Mae in order to generate fee income and reinforce our relationship with our customers. For the year ended December 31, 2013, we received servicing fees of $463,000. As of December 31, 2013, the principal balance of loans serviced for others totaled $189.1 million.
We currently offer several types of adjustable-rate mortgage loans secured by residential properties with interest rates that are fixed for an initial period ranging from five to ten years. We offer adjustable-rate mortgage loans that are fully amortizing. After the initial fixed period, the interest rate on adjustable-rate mortgage loans is generally reset every year based upon a contractual spread or margin above the average yield on U.S. Treasury securities, adjusted to a constant maturity of one year, as published weekly by the Federal Reserve Board, subject to periodic and lifetime limitations on interest rate changes. Generally, the initial change in interest rates on our adjustable-rate mortgage loans cannot exceed two percentage points. Subsequent interest rate changes cannot exceed two percentage points and total interest rate changes cannot exceed six percentage points over the life of the loan.
Adjustable-rate mortgage loans generally present different credit risks than fixed-rate mortgage loans, primarily because the underlying debt service payments of the borrowers increase as interest rates increase, thereby increasing the potential for default and higher rates of delinquency. At the same time, the marketability of the underlying collateral may be adversely affected by higher interest rates. Since changes in the interest rates on adjustable-rate mortgages may be limited by an initial fixed-rate period or by the contractual limits on periodic interest rate adjustments, adjustable-rate loans may not adjust as quickly to increases in interest rates as our interest-bearing liabilities.
A portion of our one- to four-family residential real estate loan portfolio has higher risk characteristics. We have internally originated and purchased the loans in this portfolio. This portfolio consists of subprime loans (those loans made to borrowers with no established credit scores or credit scores of 660 or less and some additional credit weakness), stated income loans (the reasonableness of which was verified through sources other than the borrower), and interest-only loans (loans which typically provide for the payment of only the interest on the loan for a fixed period of time, thereafter the loan payments adjust to include both principal and interest for the remaining term). At December 31, 2013, the outstanding balance of our subprime one- to four-family residential real estate loans totaled $48.1 million, or 18.3 % of our one- to four-family residential real estate loans and 5.8% of our total loans. Included in this balance are $32.0 million in loans made to borrowers who are resident aliens and have no established credit scores. These loans were originated consistent with our commitment under the Community Reinvestment Act to help provide credit to the low and moderate income segment of our community. At December 31, 2013, the outstanding balance of our one- to four-family residential real estate loans also included $7.7 million of stated income loans and $3.3 million in interest-only loans (of which $1.7 million were also stated income loans). At December 31, 2013, two of our subprime one- to four-family residential real estate loans were over 90 days past due and had been placed on non-accrual status. For the year ended December 31, 2013, one of our subprime loans was foreclosed.
In 2008, we began purchasing one- to four-family residential real estate loans, which included subprime, stated income, and interest-only loans, at a discount to the original principal balance of the loan. As of December 31, 2013, the total outstanding balance of all purchased one- to four-family residential real estate loans was $13.6 million, or 5.2% of our one- to four-family residential real estate loans and 1.7% of our total loans, while the carrying value of such loans, net of purchase discounts, was $11.9 million. Our purchased one- to four-family residential real estate loans included $3.1 million of subprime loans as of December 31, 2013. In addition, these purchased one- to four-family residential real estate loans included $7.3 million of stated income loans and $2.7 million of interest-only loans (of which $1.7 million were also stated income loans). At December 31, 2013, the purchased subprime, stated income, and interest-only loans represented 1.2%, 2.8%, and 1.0%, respectively, of our total one- to four-family residential real estate loans. We did not purchase any loans during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. We may purchase subprime, stated income, and interest-only loans as market conditions permit, and if we are able to obtain the loans at a sufficient discount to the loan balance to compensate us for the added risk associated with such loans.
At December 31, 2013, our internally originated one- to four-family residential loans included $45.0 million of subprime loans, $634,000 of interest-only loans, and $422,000 of stated income loans. These loans represent 17.1%, 0.2%, and 0.2%, respectively, of our total one- to four-family residential real estate loans. We intend to continue to originate these types of loans in the future as market conditions permit.
7
We do not offer or purchase loans that provide for negative amortization of principal, such as “Option ARM” loans, where the borrower can pay less than the interest owed on their loan, resulting in an increased principal balance during the life of the loan.
We require title insurance on all of our one- to four-family residential real estate loans that exceed $100,000 and we also require that borrowers maintain fire and extended coverage casualty insurance (and, if appropriate, flood insurance) in an amount at least equal to the lesser of the loan balance or the replacement cost of the improvements. We do not conduct environmental testing on residential real estate loans unless specific concerns for hazards are identified by the appraiser used in connection with the origination of the loan.
During the year ended December 31, 2013, we had a total of two foreclosures in our one- to four-family residential real estate loan portfolio with principal balances of the foreclosed loans totaling $150,000.
Home Equity Loans and Lines of Credit. In addition to traditional one- to four-family residential real estate loans, we offer home equity loans and home equity lines of credit that are secured by the borrower’s primary residence. Our home equity loans are primarily originated with fixed rates of interest with terms of up to 30 years. Home equity loans and lines of credit are generally underwritten using the same criteria that we use to underwrite one- to four-family residential real estate loans. Home equity loans may be underwritten with a loan-to-value ratio of 80% when combined with the principal balance of the existing mortgage loan, while lines of credit for owner-occupied properties may be underwritten with loan-to-value ratios of 80% of the market value of the single-family residence inclusive of all other debt, and the credit limit cannot exceed 50% of the market value when combined with the principal balance of the existing mortgage loan. Home equity lines of credit are generally originated with adjustable rates of interest. The maximum maturity period is 20 years with a five-year period to draw funds. At the time we close a home equity loan or line of credit, we record a deed of trust to perfect our security interest in the underlying collateral. At December 31, 2013, the outstanding balance of home equity loans totaled $14.5 million, or 1.8% of our total loan portfolio, and the outstanding balance of home equity lines of credit totaled $2.6 million, or 0.3% of our total loan portfolio.
Home equity loans secured by second mortgages have greater risk than residential real estate loans secured by first mortgages. We face the risk that the collateral will be insufficient to compensate us for loan losses and costs of foreclosure. When customers default on their loans, we attempt to foreclose on the property and resell the property as soon as possible to minimize foreclosure and carrying costs. However, the value of the collateral may not be sufficient to compensate us for the amount of the unpaid loan and we may be unsuccessful in recovering the remaining balance from those customers. Particularly with respect to our home equity loans, decreases in real estate values could adversely affect the value of property used as collateral for our loans.
During the year ended December 31, 2013, we had no foreclosures in our home equity loan portfolio.
Commercial Real Estate Loans. We originate commercial real estate loans secured primarily by multi-family residences, retail strip centers, office buildings, industrial buildings, condominiums, hotels, developed lots, and raw land. Loans secured by commercial real estate totaled $106.6 million, or 12.9% of our total loan portfolio, at December 31, 2013, and consisted of 165 loans outstanding with an average loan balance of approximately $646,000 as of December 31, 2013.
Our commercial real estate loans are generally written up to terms of five years with adjustable interest rates. The rates are generally tied to the prime rate as reported in The Wall Street Journal and generally have a specified floor. Many of our adjustable-rate commercial real estate loans are not fully amortizing and therefore require a “balloon” payment at maturity. We also originate fixed-rate, fully amortizing commercial real estate loans. A portion of our commercial real estate loans are loans that provide permanent financing for borrowers following the completion of the real estate construction for which we previously provided construction financing.
In underwriting commercial real estate loans, we generally lend up to 85% of the property’s appraised value and up to 65% of the property’s appraised value if the property is unimproved land. We base our decisions to lend on the economic viability of the property and the creditworthiness of the borrower. In evaluating a proposed commercial real estate loan, we emphasize the ratio of the property’s projected net cash flow to the loan’s debt service requirement (generally requiring a minimum ratio of 120%), computed after deduction for a vacancy factor and property expenses we deem appropriate. Personal guarantees are preferred from commercial real estate borrowers. We require title insurance insuring the priority of our lien, fire and extended coverage casualty insurance, and, if appropriate, flood insurance, in order to protect our security interest in the underlying property. We do not conduct environmental testing on commercial real estate loans unless specific concerns for hazards are identified in connection with the origination of the loan.

Commercial real estate loans generally carry higher interest rates and have shorter terms than one- to four-family residential real estate loans. Commercial real estate loans, however, entail significant additional credit risks compared to one- to four-family residential real estate loans, as they typically involve larger loan balances concentrated with single borrowers or groups of related borrowers. In addition, the payment of loans secured by income-producing properties typically depends on the successful operation of the related real estate project and thus may be subject to a greater extent to adverse conditions in the real estate market and in the general economy. At December 31, 2013, our largest commercial real estate loan had an outstanding balance of $9.2 million, was secured by 4.88 acres of land with a 40,000 square foot retail development and was performing in accordance with its terms as of that date.
Real Estate Construction Loans. We originate real estate construction loans for the construction of single-family residences, multi-family residences, retail strip centers, office buildings, industrial buildings, condominiums, and hotels. Construction loans are offered to individuals for the construction of their personal residences (owner-occupied) and to qualified developers. At December 31, 2013, real estate construction loans totaled $59.6 million, or 7.2% of total loans. At December 31, 2013, the commitment to advance additional amounts on these real estate construction loans totaled $12.7 million.
We grant construction loans to area builders. In the case of residential subdivisions, these loans finance the cost of completing homes. Advances on construction loans are made in accordance with a schedule reflecting the cost of construction, but are generally limited to the lower of 100% of actual construction costs or 80% of the completed appraised value. Repayment of construction loans on residential subdivisions is normally expected from the sale of units to individual purchasers. In the case of income-producing property, repayment is usually expected from permanent financing upon completion of construction.
Before making a commitment to fund a construction loan, we require an appraisal of the property by an independent licensed appraiser. We generally also review and inspect each property before disbursement of funds during the term of the construction loan. We do not conduct environmental testing on real estate construction loans unless specific concerns for hazards are identified by the appraiser used in connection with the origination of the loan. We typically make construction loans only to developers with whom we have an existing relationship or who are known to us.
Construction financing generally involves greater credit risk than long-term financing on improved, owner-occupied real estate. Risk of loss on a construction loan depends largely upon the accuracy of the initial estimate of the value of the property at completion of construction compared to the estimated cost (including interest) of construction and other assumptions. If the estimate of construction costs proves to be inaccurate, we may be required to advance additional funds beyond the amount originally committed in order to protect the value of the property. Moreover, if the estimated value of the completed project proves to be inaccurate, the borrower may hold a property with a value that is insufficient to assure full repayment of the construction loan upon the sale of the property. In the event we make a land acquisition loan on property that is not yet approved for the planned development, there is the risk that approvals will not be granted or will be delayed. Construction loans also expose us to the risk that improvements will not be completed on time in accordance with specifications and projected costs. In addition, the ultimate sale or rental of the property may not occur as anticipated. At December 31, 2013, our largest real estate construction loan had an outstanding balance of $7.1 million, was originated to finance the construction of a 26,000 square foot, 46-bed medical care facility and was performing in accordance with its terms as of that date.
Commercial Business Loans. We make various types of secured and unsecured commercial business loans to customers in our market area for the purpose of acquiring equipment and other general business purposes. The terms of these loans generally range from one year to a maximum of 10 years. The loans are either negotiated on a fixed-rate basis or carry adjustable interest rates indexed to the prime rate as reported in The Wall Street Journal or London InterBank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") and generally with specified floors. At December 31, 2013, we had 165 commercial business loans outstanding with an aggregate balance of $69.3 million, or 8.4% of our total loans. As of December 31, 2013, the average commercial business loan balance was approximately $420,000. At December 31, 2013, we had $987,000 in unsecured commercial business loans.
We have in the past purchased participation interests in shared national credits, which are adjustable-rate loans generally tied to the LIBOR where a larger financial institution serves as the lead lender and credit is extended to a large business secured by business assets or equipment. Historically, the minimum participation amount has been $5.0 million. During 2011, we sold our participation interest in a shared national credit of $4.3 million at a loss of $212,000. We are no longer purchasing interests in shared national credit loans and at December 31, 2013 and 2012, we did not have any remaining interests in shared national credits.
During the year ended December 31, 2012, we began participating in mortgage warehouse lines of credit with another financial institution. At December 31, 2012, the balance related to our participating interest in the mortgage warehouse lines of credit was $13.6 million. Our participation in the mortgage warehouse lines of credit ended in 2013.

Commercial credit decisions are based upon our credit assessment of the borrower and the underlying business. We determine the borrower’s ability to repay in accordance with the proposed terms of the loan and we assess the risks involved. An evaluation is made of the borrower to determine character and capacity to manage the borrower’s business. Personal guarantees of the principals of a borrower are usually obtained. In addition to evaluating the borrower’s financial statements, we consider the adequacy of the primary and secondary sources of repayment for the loan. Credit agency reports of the guarantor’s credit history supplement our analysis of the borrower’s creditworthiness. We may also check with other banks and conduct trade investigations. Collateral supporting a secured transaction is also analyzed to determine its marketability. Commercial business loans generally have higher interest rates than residential real estate loans of like duration because they have a higher risk of default since their repayment generally depends on the successful operation of the borrower’s business and the sufficiency of any collateral. Our pricing of commercial business loans is based primarily on the credit risk of the borrower, with due consideration given to borrowers with an appropriate deposit relationship. At December 31, 2013, our largest commercial business loan had an outstanding balance of $9.6 million, was secured by equipment and was performing in accordance with its terms as of that date.
Consumer Lending. We offer a variety of secured consumer loans, including new and used automobile loans, recreational vehicle loans, and loans secured by savings deposits. We also offer unsecured consumer loans. We originate our consumer loans primarily in our market areas. Most of our consumer loans are secured by automobiles. At December 31, 2013, our consumer loan portfolio totaled $311.6 million, or 37.7% of our total loan portfolio. Automobile loans totaled $296.3 million at December 31, 2013, or 35.8% of our total loan portfolio, with $264.7 million in indirect loans and $31.6 million in direct loans.
We originated automobile loans on a indirect basis until October 2013 when we discontinued our indirect lending program. Prior to the termination of the program, we acquired our indirect automobile loans from approximately 102 dealers located primarily in our market area under an arrangement providing for a premium for any amount over the interest rate to be paid to the referring dealer. We continue to originate automobile loans on a direct basis. Approximately 51.7% of the aggregate principal balance of our automobile loan portfolio as of December 31, 2013 was for new vehicles and the remainder was for used vehicles. The weighted-average original term to maturity of our automobile loan portfolio at December 31, 2013 was five years and eight months. The average outstanding balance of our automobile loans for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $18,781 and the average credit score was 727. More than 96.8% of the aggregate principal balance of our automobile loan portfolio as of December 31, 2013 consisted of loans to borrowers with mailing addresses in the State of Texas.
Under the indirect lending program in place prior to October 2013, each dealer that originated automobile loans made representations and warranties with respect to our security interests in the related financed vehicles in a separate dealer agreement with us. These representations and warranties did not relate to the creditworthiness of the borrowers or the collectability of the loan. The dealers were also responsible for ensuring that our security interest in the financed vehicles was perfected.
Each automobile loan requires the borrower to keep the financed vehicle fully insured against loss or damage by fire, theft, and collision. The dealer agreements required the dealers to represent that adequate physical damage insurance (collision and comprehensive) was in effect at the time the related loan was originated and financed by us. In addition, we have the right to force place insurance coverage (supplemental insurance taken out by OmniAmerican Bank) in the event the required physical damage insurance on an automobile is not maintained by the borrower. Nevertheless, there can be no assurance that each financed vehicle will continue to be covered by physical damage insurance provided by the borrower during the entire term during which the related loan is outstanding.
The borrower’s credit score is the principal factor used in determining the interest rate on the loan. Our underwriting procedure evaluates information relating to the borrower and supplied by the borrower on the credit application combined with information provided by credit reporting agencies and the amount to be financed relative to the value of the related financed vehicle. Additionally, our underwriters may verify a borrower’s employment income and/or residency or, where appropriate, verify a borrower’s payment history directly with the borrower’s creditors. Based on these procedures, a credit decision is considered and approved either automatically or by our personnel at various levels of authority.
Our primary consideration when originating an automobile loan is the borrower’s ability to repay the loan and the value of the underlying collateral. We generally finance up to the full sales price of the vehicle plus sales tax, dealer preparation fees, license fees, and title fees, plus the cost of service and warranty contracts and premiums for physical damage, credit life and disability insurance obtained in connection with the vehicle or the financing (amounts in addition to the sales price are collectively referred to as the “Additional Vehicle Costs”). In addition, we may finance the negative equity related to the vehicle traded in by the borrower in connection with the financing. Accordingly, the amount we finance may exceed, depending on the borrower’s credit score, in the case of new vehicles, the dealer’s invoice price of the financed vehicle and the Additional Vehicle Costs, or in the case of a used vehicle, the vehicle’s value and the Additional Vehicle Costs. The maximum amount borrowed generally may not exceed 125% of the full sales price of the financed vehicle that is new, or the vehicle’s “wholesale”
10
value in the case of a used vehicle, including Additional Vehicle Costs. The vehicle’s value is determined by using one of the standard reference sources for dealers of used cars. We regularly reviewed the quality of the loans we purchased from the dealers and periodically conducted quality control audits to ensure compliance with our established policies and procedures.
At December 31, 2013, our automobile loans to borrowers with credit scores of 660 or less totaled $32.5 million or 11.0% of our total automobile loan portfolio. We typically will not originate these types of loans with loan-to-value ratios greater than 110%. We also consider the applicant’s employment history and we may charge a higher interest rate.
Our other consumer loans, consisting of secured and unsecured consumer loans, totaled $15.3 million, or 1.9% of our total loan portfolio, at December 31, 2013. Included in other consumer loans at December 31, 2013 were secured consumer loans of $4.0 million, or 0.5% of our total loan portfolio, and unsecured consumer loans of $11.3 million, or 1.4% of our total loan portfolio. The secured consumer loans consist primarily of deposit secured loans. The unsecured consumer loans have either a fixed rate of interest for a maximum term of 60 months or are revolving lines of credit with an adjustable rate of interest tied to the prime rate of interest as reported in The Wall Street Journal. At December 31, 2013, unfunded commitments on our unsecured lines of credit totaled $10.3 million and the average outstanding balance on our lines was $5,952 as of December 31, 2013.
Consumer loans generally have shorter terms to maturity, which reduces our exposure to changes in interest rates. In addition, management believes that offering consumer loan products helps to expand and create stronger ties to our existing customer base by increasing the number of customer relationships and providing cross-marketing opportunities.
Consumer loans generally have greater risk compared to longer-term loans secured by improved, owner-occupied real estate, particularly consumer loans that are secured by rapidly depreciable assets, such as automobiles. In these cases, any repossessed collateral for a defaulted loan may not provide an adequate source of repayment of the outstanding loan balance. As a result, consumer loan collections are dependent on the borrower’s continuing financial stability and thus are more likely to be adversely affected by job loss, divorce, illness, or personal bankruptcy. Furthermore, our consumer loan portfolio contains a substantial number of indirect automobile loans where we assume the risk that the automobile dealership underwriting the loans complies with federal, state, and local consumer protection laws.
Loan Originations, Purchases, Sales, Participations, and Servicing. Lending activities are conducted primarily by our loan personnel operating at our main and branch office locations. All loans that we originate are underwritten pursuant to our policies and procedures. In addition, our one- to four-family residential real estate loans generally incorporate Fannie Mae underwriting guidelines. We originate both adjustable-rate and fixed-rate loans. Our ability to originate fixed- or adjustable-rate loans is dependent upon the relative customer demand for such loans, which is affected by current market interest rates as well as anticipated future market interest rates. Our loan origination and sales activity may be adversely affected by a rising interest rate environment that typically results in decreased loan demand. Most of our commercial real estate and commercial business loans are generated by referrals from professional contacts. Most of our originations of one- to four-family residential real estate loans, consumer loans, and home equity loans are generated by existing customers, referrals from real estate agents, residential home builders, walk-in business, and from our internet website.
We decide whether to retain the loans that we originate or sell loans in the secondary market after evaluating current and projected market interest rates, our interest rate risk objectives, our liquidity needs, and other factors. We sold $64.6 million of one- to four-family residential real estate loans (all fixed-rate loans with terms of 15 years or longer) during the year ended December 31, 2013, and $71.4 million of such loans were sold during the year ended December 31, 2012. We had $1.5 million in loans held for sale at December 31, 2013.
At December 31, 2013, we serviced residential real estate loans for Fannie Mae with a principal balance of $189.1 million. Loan servicing includes collecting and remitting loan payments, accounting for principal and interest, contacting delinquent borrowers, supervising foreclosures and property dispositions in the event of unremediated defaults, making certain insurance and tax payments on behalf of borrowers, and generally administering the loans. We retain a portion of the interest paid by the borrower on the loans we service as consideration for our servicing activities.

Loan Approval Procedures and Authority. Our lending activities follow written, non-discriminatory underwriting standards and loan origination procedures established by our board of directors. The loan approval process is intended to assess the borrower’s ability to repay the loan and the value of the collateral that will secure the loan. To assess the borrower’s ability to repay, we review the borrower’s employment and credit history and information on the historical and projected income and expenses of the borrower. We will also evaluate a guarantor when a guarantee is provided as part of the loan.
OmniAmerican Bank’s policies and loan approval limits are established by our board of directors. Our lending officers at the vice president level may approve secured commercial loans up to $75,000 and unsecured commercial loans up to $5,000, and lending officers at the senior vice president level may approve secured commercial loans up to $500,000 and unsecured commercial loans up to $100,000. Our lending officers at the bank officer level may approve secured consumer loans up to $75,000 and unsecured consumer loans up to $25,000, and lending officers at the senior vice president level may approve secured consumer loans up to $125,000 and unsecured consumer loans up to $50,000. Aggregate lending relationships in amounts up to $1.0 million for residential real estate loans and in amounts up to $1.0 million for commercial real estate loans may be approved by the Chief Lending Officer or the Chief Credit Officer. Our President and Chief Executive Officer has authority to approve aggregate lending relationships up to $2.5 million. All loans in excess of $1.0 million must be approved or ratified by a majority of the Loan Committee, consisting of our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Lending Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Chief Credit Officer. All approved loans in excess of $1.0 million are reported to the board of directors upon approval.
We generally require appraisals by independent, licensed, third-party appraisers of all real property securing loans. All appraisers are approved by the board of directors annually.
Non-performing Assets, Problem Assets, and Potential Problem Loans
With respect to our residential real estate loans and consumer loans, collection calls typically begin between the 5th and 15th day of delinquency. By the time a loan is 30 days past due, there will have been one delinquency notice sent as well as a minimum of three personal phone contact attempts from the assigned employee and/or an automated calling system. During each personal phone contact, the borrower is required to provide updated information and is counseled on the terms of the loan and the importance of making payments on or before the due date. Typically repossessions occur between 30 and 60 days and foreclosures typically begin after the 61st day of delinquency. A summary report of all loans 30 days or more past due is provided monthly to our board of directors.
With respect to our commercial real estate and commercial business lending, collection efforts are carried out directly by our commercial loan officers. Commercial loan officers review past due accounts weekly and contact delinquent borrowers immediately. Past due notices are typically sent to commercial real estate customers and commercial business customers at 15 days past due.
Loans are automatically placed on non-accrual status when the payment of principal and/or interest is 90 days or more past due. Loans may also be placed on non-accrual status if collection of principal or interest is in doubt or if the collateral is in jeopardy. When loans are placed on non-accrual status, unpaid accrued interest is fully reversed, and further income is recognized only to the extent received. The loan may be returned to accrual status if unpaid principal and interest are repaid so that the loan is less than 90 days delinquent.
The Bank may from time to time agree to modify the contractual terms of a borrower’s loan. In cases where such modifications represent a concession to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty, the modification is considered a troubled debt restructuring. At December 31, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010, and 2009, we had troubled debt restructurings of $9.2 million, $18.3 million, $28.1 million, $19.5 million, and $18.4 million, respectively.

Interest income recognized on non-accruing loans and troubled debt restructured loans was $460,000 for the year ended December 31, 2013. Had non-accrual and troubled debt restructured loans been current in accordance with their original terms, an additional $359,000 in interest income would have been recognized in 2013 on these loans.
At December 31, 2013, our non-accrual loans totaled $4.3 million. The non-accrual loans consisted of 50 loans with an average balance of $87,000.
At December 31, 2013, we did not have any loans that were not currently classified as non-accrual, 90 days past due, or troubled debt restructurings, but where known information about possible credit problems of borrowers caused management to have serious concerns as to the ability of the borrowers to comply with present loan repayment terms and that may result in disclosure as non-accrual, 90 days past due, or troubled debt restructurings.

Total delinquent loans decreased by $3.3 million to $3.4 million at December 31, 2013 from $6.7 million at December 31, 2012. The decrease in delinquent loans was attributable to a $3.6 million decrease in commercial real estate loans delinquent 90 days and over.
Real Estate Owned and Foreclosed Assets. Real estate acquired by us as a result of foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure is classified as real estate owned. When property is acquired, it is recorded at its estimated fair market value at the date of foreclosure less costs to sell, establishing a new cost basis. Estimated fair value generally represents the sale price a buyer would be willing to pay on the basis of current market conditions, including normal terms from other financial institutions, less the estimated costs to sell the property. Holding costs and declines in estimated fair market value result in charges to noninterest expense after acquisition. In addition, we periodically repossess certain collateral, including automobiles and other titled vehicles. At December 31, 2013, we had $1.0 million in real estate owned and foreclosed assets.
16
Classification of Assets. Our policies, consistent with regulatory guidelines, provide for the classification of loans and other assets that are considered to be of lesser quality as substandard, doubtful, or loss assets. An asset is considered substandard if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Substandard assets include those assets characterized by the distinct possibility that we will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Assets classified as doubtful have all of the weaknesses inherent in those classified substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable. Assets (or portions of assets) classified as loss are those considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as assets is not warranted. Assets that do not expose us to risk sufficient to warrant classification in one of the aforementioned categories, but which possess potential weaknesses that deserve our close attention, are required to be designated as special mention. As of December 31, 2013, we had $2.9 million of assets designated as special mention.
When we classify assets as either substandard or doubtful, we allocate a portion of the related general loss allowance to such assets as we deem prudent. The allowance for loan losses is the amount estimated by management as necessary to absorb credit losses incurred in the loan portfolio that are both probable and reasonably estimable at the balance sheet date. When we classify a problem asset as impaired, we provide a specific reserve for that portion of the asset that is uncollectible. Our determination as to the classification of our assets and the amount of our loss allowances are subject to review by our primary regulator, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, which can require that we establish additional loss allowances. We regularly review our asset portfolio to determine whether any assets require classification in accordance with applicable regulations. Based on our review of our assets at December 31, 2013, we had substandard assets, which includes homogeneous loans not individually classified, of $18.9 million, consisting of $17.9 million of substandard loans and $1.0 million of real estate owned and foreclosed assets. There were no doubtful assets and no loss assets at December 31, 2013.
As of December 31, 2013, our largest substandard asset was a loan with a balance of $2.0 million representing our two percent participation interest in a commercial real estate loan secured by an ethanol facility in Casselton, North Dakota, with an appraised value of $160.0 million as of the most recent appraisal dated May 2013. At December 31, 2013, the loan was identified as impaired. We did not have a specific reserve related to this loan because the appraised value of the loan’s collateral less estimated selling costs exceeded the loan balance.
Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level that, in management’s judgment, is adequate to cover probable credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date. The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Loan losses 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.
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 various factors, including but not limited to current economic conditions, historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, the financial strength of the borrower and the estimated value of any underlying collateral. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.
Our evaluation of the risks inherent in our loan portfolio and changes in our asset quality considers various factors pertinent to a determination of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. In particular, the following factors are considered in the evaluation of the allowance for loan losses:
• | changes in portfolio composition, loan balances, and the maturities of various loan types in the portfolio; |
• | changes in loan concentrations, borrower economic profiles, industries, location of borrowers and loan collateral, particular loan products, loan classes and collateral types; |
• | changes in the volume and trend of loan delinquencies and loans in non-accrual status; |
• | the level of criticized and classified loans, as well as delinquency trends in the loan portfolio and developments in significant individual loans identified as problem loans; |
• | non-performing loans and non-performing assets, including trends in the aggregate and developments in significant individual loan credits; |
• | historical trends of actual loan losses or charge-offs (net of recoveries) based on volumes and types of loans; |
• | specific issues brought to the attention of management citing weaknesses or deficiencies in systems and procedures or any violations of our policies which may lead to or create any undue risk to us; and |
• | significant recoveries or additions to the allowance for loan losses. |
17
Our methodology for evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses consists of:
• | a specific loss component which is the allowance for impaired loans and |
• | a general loss component for all other loans not individually evaluated for impairment but that, on a portfolio basis, are believed to have some inherent but unidentified loss. |
The specific component of the allowance for loan losses relates to loans that are considered impaired, which are generally classified as doubtful or substandard. For such loans that are classified as impaired, 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. A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that we 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, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for non-homogeneous loans, including one- to four-family residential real estate loans with balances in excess of $1.0 million, commercial real estate, real estate construction, and commercial business 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. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, we do not separately identify consumer and one- to four-family residential real estate loans with balances less than $1.0 million for impairment disclosures, unless such loans are the subject of a restructuring agreement.
The general component of the allowance for loan losses covers unimpaired loans and is based on the historical loss experience adjusted for other qualitative factors. The loan portfolio is stratified into homogeneous groups of loans that possess similar loss potential characteristics and an appropriate loss ratio adjusted for other qualitative factors is applied to the homogeneous pools of loans to estimate the incurred losses in the loan portfolio. The other qualitative factors considered by management include, but are not limited to, the following:
• | changes in lending policies and procedures, including underwriting standards and collection, charge-off, and recovery practices; |
• | changes in national and local economic and business conditions and developments, including the condition of various market segments; |
• | changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio; |
• | changes in the experience, ability and depth of knowledge of the management of the lending staff; |
• | changes in the trend of the volume and severity of past due and classified loans; and trends in the volume of non-accrual loans, troubled debt restructurings, and other loan modifications; |
• | changes in the quality of our loan review system and the degree of oversight by the board of directors; |
• | the existence and effect of any concentrations of credit, and changes in the level of such concentrations; and |
• | the effect of external factors such as competition and legal and regulatory requirements on the level of estimated credit losses in our current portfolio. |
Consumer loans generally have greater risk of loss or default than one- to four-family residential real estate loans, particularly in the case of loans that are secured by rapidly depreciable assets such as automobiles, or loans that are unsecured. In these cases, a risk exists that the collateral, if any, for a defaulted loan may not provide an adequate source of repayment of the outstanding loan balance. Furthermore, the application of various federal and state laws, including bankruptcy and insolvency laws, may limit the ability to recover on consumer loans.
Commercial real estate loans generally have greater credit risks compared to one- to four-family residential real estate loans, as they typically involve larger loan balances concentrated with single borrowers or groups of related borrowers. In addition, the payment experience on loans secured by income-producing properties typically depends on the successful operation of the related real estate project and thus may be subject to a greater extent to adverse conditions in the real estate market and in the general economy.
Commercial business loans involve a greater risk of default than residential real estate loans of like duration since their repayment generally depends on the successful operation of the borrower’s business and the sufficiency of collateral, if any. Loans secured by multi-family residential real estate generally involve a greater degree of credit risk than one- to four-family residential real estate loans and carry larger loan balances. This increased credit risk is a result of several factors, including the concentration of principal in a limited number of loans and borrowers, the effects of general economic conditions on income-
18
producing properties, and the increased difficulty of evaluating and monitoring these types of loans. Furthermore, the repayment of loans secured by multi-family mortgages typically depends upon the successful operation of the related real estate property. If the cash flow from the project is reduced, the borrower’s ability to repay the loan may be impaired.
Real estate construction loans generally have greater credit risk than traditional one- to four-family residential real estate loans. The repayment of these loans depends upon the sale of the property to third parties or the availability of permanent financing upon completion of all improvements. In the event we make a loan on property that is not yet approved for the planned development, there is the risk that approvals will not be granted or will be delayed. These events may adversely affect the borrower and the collateral value of the property. Real estate construction loans also expose us to the risk that improvements will not be completed on time in accordance with specifications and projected costs. In addition, the ultimate sale or rental of the property may not occur as anticipated.
The decrease in substandard and impaired loans has affected the level of the allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2013. The allowance for loan losses decreased $455,000, or 6.6%, to $6.4 million at December 31, 2013 from $6.9 million at December 31, 2012, while total loans increased $87.9 million, or 11.9%, to $827.0 million from $739.1 million during the same time period. At December 31, 2013, the allowance for loan losses represented 0.78% of total loans compared to 0.93% of total loans at December 31, 2012. Substandard loans which includes homogeneous loans not individually classified decreased $4.9 million, or 21.5%, to $17.9 million at December 31, 2013 from $22.8 million at December 31, 2012.
Non-performing loans decreased $3.6 million, or 45.6%, to $4.3 million at December 31, 2013 from $7.9 million at December 31, 2012, due primarily to the payoff of one non-performing commercial real estate loan with a balance of $3.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2013. Approximately 66.6% and 82.3% of our non-performing loans were collateralized by real estate at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Non-performing loans are evaluated to determine impairment. Loans that are found to be impaired are individually assessed and a specific reserve is applied, if warranted.
As of December 31, 2013, we identified 108 impaired loans with balances totaling $13.0 million, of which two of the larger balance loans had principal balances totaling $4.6 million. The largest of the impaired loans, with a balance of $3.1 million at December 31, 2013, was secured by a single-family residence with an appraised value less selling costs of $4.0 million based upon an appraisal obtained in March 2013. At December 31, 2013, we did not have a specific reserve on this loan since the appraised value less selling costs of the collateral exceeded the loan balance. The second largest impaired loan with a balance of $2.0 million at December 31, 2013 is a participation purchased in a $102.0 million credit secured by an ethanol facility with an appraised value of $160.0 million as of the most recent appraisal obtained in May 2013. At December 31, 2013, we did not have a specific reserve on this loan since the appraised value less selling costs of the property exceeded the loan balance.
Appraisals are performed by independent, certified appraisers to obtain fair values on non-homogeneous loans secured by real estate. The appraisals are generally obtained when market conditions change, annually for criticized loans, and at the time a loan becomes impaired.
We periodically conduct an internal evaluation of the carrying value of loans and the allowance is adjusted accordingly. While we use the best information available to make evaluations, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if conditions differ substantially from the information used in making the evaluations. In addition, we regularly contract with third-party loan review experts to assess the credit quality of our loan portfolio. Further, as an integral part of their examination process, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency periodically reviews the allowance for loan losses. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency may require us to recognize additions to the allowance based on their analysis of information available to them at the time of their examination.

The allowance for loan losses decreased $455,000, or 6.6%, to $6.4 million at December 31, 2013 from $6.9 million at December 31, 2012, while total loans increased $87.9 million, or 11.9%, to $827.0 million from $739.1 million during the same time period. At December 31, 2013, the allowance for loan losses represented 0.78% of total loans compared to 0.93% of total loans at December 31, 2012. Included in the allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2013 were specific reserves for loan losses of $521,000 related to five impaired loans with balances totaling $1.6 million. Impaired loans with balances totaling $11.4 million did not require specific reserves for loan losses at December 31, 2013. The allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2012 included specific reserves for loan losses of $278,000 related to three impaired loans with balances totaling $981,000. In addition, impaired loans with balances totaling $19.5 million did not require specific reserves for loan losses at
21
December 31, 2012. The balance of unimpaired loans increased $93.1 million, or 13.0%, to $811.7 million at December 31, 2013 from $718.6 million at December 31, 2012. The allowance for loan losses related to unimpaired loans decreased $698,000, or 10.5%, to $5.9 million at December 31, 2013 from $6.6 million at December 31, 2012 due to improved credit quality of loans.
The significant changes in the amount of the allowance for loan losses during the year ended December 31, 2013 related to: (i) a $405,000 decrease in the general allowance for loan losses attributable to unimpaired commercial real estate loans primarily due to a decrease in net charge-offs of commercial real estate loans to no net charge-offs during the year ended December 31, 2013 from $99,000, or 0.11% of total loans outstanding during the year ended December 31, 2012 and (ii) a $397,000 decrease in the general allowance for loan losses attributable to unimpaired commercial business loans resulting primarily from a decrease in net charge-offs of commercial business loans to $70,000, or 0.11% of average loans outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2013 from $737,000, or 1.47% of average loans outstanding, for the year ended December 31, 2012. Partially offsetting these decreases was a $321,000 increase in the allowance for loan losses attributable to impaired commercial real estate loans resulting from a specific reserve for one loan that was identified as not sufficiently covered by the value of the collateral. Management also considered local economic factors and unemployment rates as well as the higher risk profile of commercial business and commercial real estate loans when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses as it pertains to these types of loans.
Investments
Several key members of the asset/liability management committee, including our President and Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Lending Officer, Chief Credit Officer, and the Senior Vice President of Finance, have primary responsibility for establishing our investment policy and overseeing its implementation, subject to oversight by our entire board of directors. Authority to make investments under approved guidelines is delegated to the President and Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer, Senior Vice President of Finance, and in the absence of all three, two other voting members of the asset/liability management committee. The committee meets at least quarterly. All investment transactions are reported to the board of directors for ratification at the next regular board meeting.
The investment policy is reviewed at least annually by the full board of directors. This policy dictates that investment decisions be made based on minimizing exposure to credit risk, liquidity requirements, potential returns and consistency with our interest rate risk management strategy.
Our current investment policy permits us to invest in mortgage-backed securities, including pass-through securities, insured and guaranteed by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and the Government National Mortgage Association (“Ginnie Mae”) as well as CMOs issued or backed by securities issued by government entities or government-sponsored enterprises and private issuers, as well as investment grade bank-qualified municipal securities and investment grade corporate debt securities. The investment policy also permits investments in certain trust preferred securities, certificates of deposit, securities purchased under an agreement to resell, bankers acceptances, commercial paper, and federal funds.
Our current investment policy generally does not permit without prior approval by the board of directors interest rate swaps, financial futures/options transactions, purchases of high-risk mortgage securities, or securities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars. As a federal savings bank, OmniAmerican Bank is generally not permitted to invest in equity securities. This general restriction does not apply to OmniAmerican Bancorp, Inc., which may acquire up to 5% of voting securities of any company without regulatory approval. Investing in mutual funds is permissible, if investing in the underlying securities is permissible.
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 320, “Investments – Debt and Equity Securities,” requires that we designate a security as held to maturity, available for sale, or trading, depending on our ability and intent at the time of purchase. Securities available for sale are reported at fair value, while securities held to maturity are reported at amortized cost. We do not maintain a trading portfolio. Establishing a trading portfolio would require specific authorization by our board of directors.
Our available for sale securities portfolio at December 31, 2013, consisted of securities with the following amortized costs: $282.2 million of mortgage-backed securities issued by U.S. Government-sponsored enterprises; $140.2 million of CMOs; $5.0 million of agency bonds; $179,000 of municipal obligations; and $6.0 million of equity securities consisting of a community reinvestment mutual fund, the CRA Qualified Investment Fund.
Mortgage-Backed Securities and CMOs. We invest in mortgage-backed securities guaranteed by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or Ginnie Mae. Our investment policy allows us to purchase privately-issued mortgage-backed securities rated “AA” or higher, although in practice we generally limit purchases of such securities to those rated “AAA.” We invest in mortgage-backed securities to achieve positive interest rate spreads with minimal administrative expense, and to lower our credit risk as a result of the guarantees provided by Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, or Ginnie Mae.
22
Mortgage-backed securities are created by pooling mortgages and issuing a security with an interest rate that is less than the interest rate on the underlying mortgages. Mortgage-backed securities typically represent a participation interest in a pool of single-family or multi-family mortgages, although we invest primarily in mortgage-backed securities backed by one- to four-family mortgages. The issuers of such securities pool and resell the participation interests in the form of securities to investors such as OmniAmerican Bank. Some securities pools are guaranteed as to payment of principal and interest to investors. Mortgage-backed securities generally yield less than the loans that underlie such securities because of the cost of payment guarantees and credit enhancements. However, mortgage-backed securities are more liquid than individual mortgage loans since there is an active trading market for such securities. In addition, mortgage-backed securities may be used to collateralize our specific liabilities and obligations. Finally, mortgage-backed securities are assigned lower risk weightings for purposes of calculating our risk-based capital level.
Investments in mortgage-backed securities involve a risk that actual payments will be greater or less than the prepayment rate estimated at the time of purchase, which may require adjustments to the amortization of any premium or accretion of any discount relating to such interests, thereby affecting the net yield on our securities. We periodically review current prepayment speeds to determine whether prepayment estimates require modification that could cause amortization or accretion adjustments.
CMOs are debt securities issued by a special-purpose entity that aggregates pools of mortgages and mortgage-backed securities and creates different classes of securities with varying maturities and amortization schedules, as well as a residual interest, with each class possessing different risk characteristics. The cash flows from the underlying collateral are generally divided into “tranches” or classes that have descending priorities with respect to the distribution of principal and interest cash flows, while cash flows on pass-through mortgage-backed securities are distributed pro rata to all security holders.
As of December 31, 2013, all of the mortgage-backed securities and CMOs owned by OmniAmerican Bank were guaranteed by the U.S. Government or agencies thereof or by government-sponsored enterprises.
Agency Bonds. At December 31, 2013, agency bonds consisted of a bond issued by the Federal Home Loan Bank which has a term of 10 years and is callable beginning on December 27, 2013.
Municipal Obligations. At December 31, 2013, municipal obligations consisted of a bond issued by a school district in the State of Texas which has a term of 22 years and is callable beginning on August 15, 2016.
Other Equity Securities. Other equity securities consist solely of an investment in a community reinvestment mutual fund, the CRA Qualified Investment Fund, with a cost basis of $6.0 million and a fair value of $5.9 million as of December 31, 2013. The fund’s investment objective is to provide a high level of current income consistent with the preservation of capital, and investments in our CRA assessment area that qualify under the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977.

Sources of Funds
General. Deposits traditionally have been our primary source of funds for our lending and investment activities. We also borrow, primarily from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas, to supplement cash flow needs, to lengthen the maturities of liabilities for interest rate risk management purposes, and to manage our cost of funds. Our additional sources of funds are the proceeds of loan sales, scheduled loan payments, maturing investments, loan prepayments, collateralized wholesale borrowings, retained earnings, and income on other earning assets.
Deposits. We generate deposits primarily from the areas in which our branch offices are located. We rely on our competitive pricing, convenient locations, and customer service to attract and retain deposits. We offer a variety of deposit accounts with a range of interest rates and terms. Our deposit accounts consist of savings accounts, demand deposit accounts, money market accounts, and certificates of deposit. Interest rates, maturity terms, service fees and withdrawal penalties are established on a periodic basis. Deposit rates and terms are based primarily on current operating strategies and market interest rates, liquidity requirements, interest rates paid by competitors, and our deposit growth goals.
Reciprocal deposits totaled $2.0 million at December 31, 2013. These deposits represent money market and time deposits from our customers that have been placed through Promontory Interfinancial Network’s Insured Cash Sweep® service and Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service®. These services allow customers access to FDIC insurance on deposits exceeding the $250,000 FDIC insurance limit.
At December 31, 2013, we had a total of $269.7 million in certificates of deposit, of which $142.5 million had remaining maturities of one year or less. Based on historical experience and our current pricing strategy, we believe we will retain a large portion of these accounts upon maturity.
The following tables set forth the distribution of our average total deposit accounts, by account type, for the years indicated.

SUPERVISION AND REGULATION
General
OmniAmerican Bancorp, Inc.’s primary federal regulator is the Federal Reserve Board and OmniAmerican Bank’s primary federal regulator is the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. OmniAmerican Bank is supervised and examined by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and is subject to examination by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. This regulation and supervision establishes a comprehensive framework of activities in which an institution may engage and is intended primarily for the protection of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s deposit insurance funds and depositors, and not for the protection of stockholders. Under this system of federal regulation, financial institutions are periodically examined to ensure that they satisfy applicable standards with respect to their capital adequacy, assets, management, earnings, liquidity, sensitivity to market risk, and compliance with applicable laws including the Community Reinvestment Act.
OmniAmerican Bank is also a member of and owns stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas, which is one of the twelve regional banks in the Federal Home Loan Bank System. In addition, OmniAmerican Bank is regulated to a limited extent by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, or Federal Reserve Board, which governs reserves to be maintained against deposits and other matters. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency prepares reports based on its examination of OmniAmerican Bank for the consideration of its board of directors on any operating deficiencies. OmniAmerican Bank’s relationship with its depositors and borrowers also is governed by federal law and applicable state law.
Any change in these laws or regulations, whether by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Federal Reserve Board, the newly created Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, or Congress, could have a material adverse impact on OmniAmerican Bancorp, Inc., OmniAmerican Bank and their operations.
Under the Dodd-Frank Act, the thrift charter has been preserved and the Deputy Comptroller for Thrift Supervision was appointed to assume responsibility over supervising and examining federal savings associations and savings banks.
As a savings and loan holding company, OmniAmerican Bancorp, Inc. is required to file certain reports with, and is subject to examination by, and otherwise must comply with the rules and regulations of the Federal Reserve Board. OmniAmerican Bancorp, Inc. is also subject to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission under the federal securities laws. On July 21, 2011, under the Dodd-Frank Act, the functions of the Office of Thrift Supervision relating to savings and loan holding companies and their non-bank subsidiaries, as well as rulemaking and supervision authority over savings and loan holding companies, were transferred to the Federal Reserve Board.
Certain of the regulatory requirements that are applicable to OmniAmerican Bank and OmniAmerican Bancorp, Inc. are described below. This description of statutes and regulations is not intended to be a complete description of such statutes and regulations and their effects on OmniAmerican Bank and OmniAmerican Bancorp, Inc., and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual statutes and regulations.
Federal Legislation
The Dodd-Frank Act, enacted on July 21, 2010, is significantly changing the bank regulatory structure and affecting the lending, investment, trading, and operating activities of depository institutions and their holding companies. The Dodd-Frank Act eliminated our former primary federal regulator, the Office of Thrift Supervision, and requires the Bank to be regulated by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (historically the primary federal regulator for national banks). The Dodd-Frank Act also authorizes the Federal Reserve Board to supervise and regulate all savings and loan holding companies like OmniAmerican Bancorp, Inc. in addition to bank holding companies which it already regulated. The Dodd-Frank Act also requires the Federal Reserve Board to set minimum capital levels for depository institution holding companies that are as stringent as those required for the insured depository subsidiaries, and the components of tier 1 capital have been restricted to capital instruments that are currently considered to be tier 1 capital for insured depository institutions. There is a five-year transition period (from the July 21, 2010 effective date of the Dodd-Frank Act) before the capital requirements will apply to savings and loan holding companies. Under the Dodd-Frank Act, the proceeds of trust preferred securities are excluded from tier 1 capital unless such securities were issued prior to May 19, 2010 by bank or savings and loan holding companies with less than $15 billion of assets. The legislation also establishes a floor for capital of insured depository institutions, and directs the federal banking regulators to implement new leverage and capital requirements within 18 months from the enactment of the
27
Dodd-Frank Act that take into account off-balance sheet activities and other risks, including risks relating to securitized products and derivatives.
The Dodd-Frank Act also created a new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau with substantial power to regulate, supervise, and enforce consumer protection laws. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has broad rulemaking authority for a wide range of consumer protection laws that apply to all banks and savings institutions such as the Bank, including the authority to prohibit “unfair, deceptive, or abusive” acts and practices. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has examination and enforcement authority over all banks and savings institutions with more than $10 billion in assets. Banks and savings institutions with $10 billion or less in assets, such as the Bank, will continue to be examined by their applicable federal bank regulators. The Dodd-Frank Act also weakens the federal preemption available for national banks and federal savings associations, and gives state attorneys general the ability to enforce applicable federal consumer protection laws.
On June 11, 2013, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau published a report entitled “CFPB Study of Overdraft Programs” where the agency reviewed existing regulations and supervisory guidance issued by various regulators pertaining to the use of overdraft programs by financial institutions and provided initial data findings on the impact of overdraft programs on consumers based on public comments.
The Dodd-Frank Act broadens the base for Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance assessments. Assessments are now based on the average consolidated total assets less tangible equity capital of a financial institution. The Dodd-Frank Act also permanently increased the maximum amount of deposit insurance for banks, savings institutions, and credit unions to $250,000 per depositor, retroactive to January 1, 2008.
The Dodd-Frank Act increases stockholder influence over boards of directors by requiring companies to give stockholders a non-binding vote on executive compensation and so-called “golden parachute” payments. The legislation also directs the Federal Reserve Board to promulgate rules prohibiting excessive compensation paid to bank holding company executives, regardless of whether the company is publicly traded. The Dodd-Frank Act provides for originators of certain securitized loans to retain a percentage of the risk for transferred loans and directs the Federal Reserve Board to regulate pricing of certain debit card interchange fees.
The Dodd-Frank Act contains a number of reforms related to mortgage origination and servicing. In January 2013, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau published a series of very detailed and complex final rules that will impact mortgage origination and servicing. Most of these rules became effective in January 2014.
The final rules concerning mortgage origination and servicing address the following topics.
Ability to Repay. A final rule implements the Dodd-Frank Act provisions requiring that residential mortgages creditors must make a reasonable and good faith determination based on verified and documented information that the consumer has a reasonable ability to repay the loan according to its terms. The final rule also establishes a presumption of compliance with the ability to repay determination for a certain category of mortgages called “qualified mortgages” meeting a series of detailed requirements. The final rule also provides a rebuttable presumption for higher-priced mortgage loans.
High-Cost Mortgage. A final rule strengthens consumer protections for high-cost mortgages (generally bans balloon payments and prepayment penalties, subject to exceptions and bans or limits certain fees and practices) and requires consumers to receive information about homeownership counseling prior to taking out a high-cost mortgage.
Appraisals for High-Risk Mortgages. A final rule permits a creditor to extend a higher-priced (subprime) mortgage loan only if the following conditions are met (subject to exceptions): (i) the creditor obtains a written appraisal; (ii) the appraisal is performed by a certified or licensed appraiser; and (iii) the appraiser conducts a physical property visit of the interior of the property. The rule also requires that during the application process the applicant receives a notice regarding the appraisal process and his or her right to receive a free copy of the appraisal.
Copies of Appraisals. A final rule amends Regulation B, that implements the Equal Credit Opportunity Act. It requires a creditor to provide a free copy of appraisal or valuation reports prepared in connection with any closed-end loan secured by a first lien on a dwelling. The final rule requires notice to applicants of the right to receive copies of any appraisal or valuation reports and creditors must send copies of the reports whether or not the loan transaction is consummated. Creditors must provide the copies of the appraisal or evaluation reports for free, although the creditors may charge reasonable fees for the cost of the appraisal or valuation unless applicable law provides otherwise.
Escrow Requirements. A final rule implements Dodd-Frank Act provisions that generally extend the required duration of an escrow account on certain higher-priced mortgage loans from a minimum of one year to a minimum of five years, subject to
28
certain exemptions for loans made by certain creditors that operate predominantly in rural or underserved areas, as long as certain other criteria are met.
Servicing. Two final rules were published to implement laws to protect consumers from detrimental actions by mortgage servicers and to provide consumers with better tools and information when dealing with mortgage servicers. One final rule amends Regulation Z, which implements the Truth in Lending Act, and a second final rule amends Regulation X, which implements the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act. The rules cover nine major topics implementing the Dodd-Frank Act provisions related to mortgage servicing. The final rules include a number of exemptions and other adjustments for small servicers, defined as servicers that service 5,000 or fewer mortgage loans and service only mortgage loans that they or an affiliate originated or own. OmniAmerican Bank currently qualifies for the small servicer exemptions.
Mortgage Loan Originator Compensation. A final rule implements Dodd-Frank Act requirements, as well as revises and clarifies existing regulations and commentary on loan originator compensation. The rule also prohibits, among other things: (i) certain arbitration agreements; (ii) financing certain credit insurance in connection with a mortgage loan; (iii) compensation based on a term of a transaction or a proxy for a term of a transaction; and (iv) dual compensation from a consumer and another person in connection with the transaction. The final rule also imposes a duty on individual loan officers, mortgage brokers, and creditors to be “qualified” and, when applicable, registered or licensed to the extent required under applicable state and federal law.
Many of the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act have delayed effective dates and the legislation requires various federal agencies to promulgate numerous and extensive implementing regulations over the next several years and many deadlines have been missed. Although the substance and scope of these regulations cannot be completely determined at this time, it is expected that the legislation and implementing regulations will increase our operating and compliance costs.
Federal Banking Regulation
Business Activities. A federal savings bank derives its lending and investment powers from the Home Owners’ Loan Act, as amended, and federal regulations. Under these laws and regulations, OmniAmerican Bank may invest in mortgage loans secured by residential and commercial real estate, commercial business, and consumer loans, certain types of debt securities, and certain other assets, subject to applicable limits. OmniAmerican Bank also may establish subsidiaries that may engage in activities not otherwise permissible for the Bank, including real estate investment and securities and insurance brokerage. The Dodd-Frank Act authorizes, for the first time, the payment of interest on commercial checking accounts effective July 1, 2011.
Capital Requirements. Federal regulations require savings associations to meet three minimum capital standards: a 1.5% tangible capital ratio, a 4% leverage ratio (3% for savings associations receiving the highest rating on the CAMELS rating system and meeting certain other requirements), and an 8% risk-based capital ratio.
The risk-based capital standard for savings associations requires the maintenance of tier 1 (core) and total capital (which is defined as core capital and supplementary capital) to risk-weighted assets of at least 4% and 8%, respectively. In determining the amount of risk-weighted assets, all assets, including certain off-balance sheet assets, are multiplied by a risk-weight factor of 0% to 100% (or 200% for certain residual interests in transferred assets), assigned by the applicable regulatory agency, based on the risks believed inherent in the type of asset. Core capital is defined as common stockholders’ equity (including retained earnings), certain non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock, and related surplus and minority interests in equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries, less intangibles other than certain mortgage servicing rights and credit card relationships. The components of supplementary capital currently include cumulative preferred stock, long-term perpetual preferred stock, mandatory convertible securities, subordinated debt and intermediate preferred stock, the allowance for loan and lease losses limited to a maximum of 1.25% of risk-weighted assets, and up to 45% of net unrealized gains on available for sale equity securities with readily determinable fair market values. Overall, the amount of supplementary capital included as part of total capital cannot exceed 100% of core capital. Additionally, a savings association that retains credit risk in connection with an asset sale may be required to maintain additional regulatory capital because of the recourse back to the savings association.
At December 31, 2013 and 2012, OmniAmerican Bank’s capital exceeded all applicable requirements.
In December 2010, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (the “Basel Committee”) released revised final frameworks for the regulation of capital and liquidity of internationally active banking organizations. These new frameworks are generally referred to as “Basel III.” On July 2, 2013, the Federal Reserve, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency released three final rules that substantially amend the regulatory risk-based capital rules applicable to the Company and the Bank. The final rules implement the Basel III regulatory capital reforms and changes required by the Dodd-Frank Act. The Company and the Bank will begin transitioning to the final rules on January 1, 2015, when the new minimum capital requirements become effective. However, the new capital conservation buffer and certain deductions from common equity tier 1 capital will phase in over a time period from 2015 through 2019.

The intent of the final Basel III rules is to improve the quality and increase the quantity of capital for all banking organizations as well as setting higher standards for large, internationally active banking organizations. The regulatory agencies believe that the new rules will result in capital requirements that better reflect banking organizations’ risk profiles, thereby improving the overall resilience of the banking system. The regulatory agencies have carefully considered the potential impacts on all banking organizations, including community banking organizations such as the Company and the Bank, and sought to minimize the potential burden of these changes where consistent with applicable law and the agencies’ goals of establishing a robust and comprehensive capital framework.
The final Basel III rules’ treatment of one- to four-family residential mortgage exposures remains the same as under current general risk-based capital rules. This includes a 50% risk weight for prudently underwritten first lien mortgage loans that are not past due, reported as nonaccrual, or restructured, and a 100% risk weight for all other residential mortgages. In addition, the new rules provide the Company and the Bank a one-time option to filter certain Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“AOCI”) components, comparable to the treatment under the current general risk-based capital rule. The AOCI opt-out election must be made on the institution’s first regulatory filing after January 1, 2015.
The final Basel III rules also make certain major changes from the current general risk-based capital rules, including, but not limited to:
• | Implementing higher minimum capital requirements, including a new common equity tier 1 capital requirement, and establishing criteria that instruments must meet in order to be considered common equity tier 1 capital, additional tier 1 capital or tier 2 capital. The new minimum capital to risk-weighted assets requirements are a common equity tier 1 capital ratio of 4.5% and a tier 1 capital ratio of 6.0% (an increase from 4.0%), and a total capital ratio that remains at 8.0%. The minimum leverage ratio (tier 1 capital to total assets) is 4.0%. The new rules maintain the general structure of the current prompt corrective action framework (described below) while incorporating these increased minimum requirements starting January 1, 2015. |
• | Changing the definition of capital by incorporating stricter eligibility criteria for regulatory capital instruments that would disallow the inclusion of instruments such as trust preferred securities in tier 1 capital going forward, and new constraints on the inclusion of minority interests, mortgage-servicing rights, deferred tax assets, and other certain |
30
investments in the capital of unconsolidated financial institutions. In addition, the new rules require that most regulatory capital deductions be made from common equity tier 1 capital.
• | Replacing the ratings-based approach of external credit ratings with a simplified supervisory formula approach in order to determine the appropriate risk-weights of securitization exposures. Alternatively, banking organizations may use the existing gross-up approach to assign securitization exposures to a risk weight category or choose to assign such exposures a 1,250% risk weight. |
• | Subjecting mortgage servicing assets and deferred tax assets to stricter individual and aggregate limitations as a percentage of common equity tier 1 capital than those applicable under the current general risk-based capital rules. |
• | Increasing the risk-weights for past-due loans, certain commercial real estate loans, and some equity exposures, and making selected other changes in risk-weights and credit conversion factors. |
• | Requiring a banking organization to hold a capital conservation buffer composed of common equity tier 1 capital above its minimum risk-based capital requirements in order to avoid limitations on capital distributions, including dividend payments and certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers. This buffer will help to ensure that banking organizations conserve capital when it is most needed, allowing them to better weather periods of economic stress. The buffer is measured relative to risk-weighted assets. Phase-in of the capital conservation buffer requirements will begin on January 1, 2016. |
The following table summarizes how much a banking organization can pay out in the form of distributions or discretionary bonus payments in a quarter based on its capital conservation buffer. A banking organization with a buffer greater than 2.5% would not be subject to limits on capital distributions or discretionary bonus payments; however, a banking organization with a buffer of less than 2.5% would be subject to increasingly stringent limitations as the buffer approaches zero.
Payout Restrictions and Capital Conservation Buffer
Capital Conservation Buffer (as a percentage of risk-weighted assets) | Maximum Payout (as a percentage of eligible retained income) | |
Greater than 2.5% | No payout limitation applies | |
Less than or equal to 2.5% and greater than 1.875% | 60% | |
Less than or equal to 1.875% and greater than 1.25% | 40% | |
Less than or equal to 1.25% and greater than 0.625% | 20% | |
Less than or equal to 0.625% | 0% |
The new rules also prohibit a banking organization from making distributions or discretionary bonus payments during any quarter if its eligible retained income is negative in that quarter and its capital conservation buffer ratio was less than 2.5% at the beginning of the quarter. The eligible retained income of a banking organization is defined as its net income for the four calendar quarters preceding the current calendar quarter, based on the organization’s quarterly regulatory reports, net of any distributions and associated tax effects not already reflected in net income. When the new rules are fully implemented in 2019, the minimum capital requirements plus the capital conservation buffer will exceed the prompt corrective action well-capitalized thresholds.
On January 6, 2013, the Group of Governors and Heads of Supervision, the oversight body of the Basel Committee, met and unanimously endorsed a four-year delay in the Basel Committee’s rules establishing a liquidity coverage ratio (“LCR”). Under the revised liquidity requirements, banks would be required to meet 60% of the LCR obligations by 2015, and the full rule would be phased in annually through 2019. At this time, it is unclear how these provisions will be implemented in the United States and what impact these delays in the effective dates will have on the capital rules. Management is watching these rules closely for its potential impact on OmniAmerican Bancorp, Inc.’s and OmniAmerican Bank’s business.
Loans to One Borrower. Generally, a federal savings bank may not make a loan or extend credit to a single or related group of borrowers in excess of 15% of unimpaired capital and surplus. An additional amount may be loaned, equal to 10% of unimpaired capital and surplus, if the loan is secured by readily marketable collateral, which generally does not include real estate. As of December 31, 2013, OmniAmerican Bank’s largest lending relationship with a single or related group of
31
borrowers totaled $14.1 million, which represented 7.2% of unimpaired capital and surplus. Therefore, OmniAmerican Bank was in compliance with the loans to one borrower limitations.
Qualified Thrift Lender Test. As a federal savings bank, OmniAmerican Bank must satisfy the qualified thrift lender, or “QTL,” test. Under the QTL test, OmniAmerican Bank must maintain at least 65% of its “portfolio assets” in “qualified thrift investments” (primarily residential real estate loans and related investments, including mortgage-backed securities) in at least nine months of the most recent 12-month period. “Portfolio assets” generally means total assets of a savings bank, less the sum of specified liquid assets up to 20% of total assets, goodwill and other intangible assets, and the value of property used in the conduct of the savings bank’s business.
OmniAmerican Bank also may satisfy the QTL test by qualifying as a “domestic building and loan association” as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
A savings bank that fails the QTL test must operate under specified restrictions set forth in the Home Owners’ Loan Act. The Dodd-Frank Act makes noncompliance with the QTL test subject to agency enforcement action for a violation of law. At December 31, 2013, OmniAmerican Bank maintained approximately 80.6% of its portfolio assets in qualified thrift investments and, therefore, satisfied the QTL test.
Capital Distributions. Federal regulations govern capital distributions by a federal savings bank, which include cash dividends, stock repurchases and other transactions charged to the savings bank’s capital account. A savings bank must file an application with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency for approval of a capital distribution if:
• | the total capital distributions for the applicable calendar year exceed the sum of the savings bank’s net income for that year to date plus the savings bank’s retained net income for the preceding two years; |
• | the savings bank would not be at least adequately capitalized following the distribution; |
• | the distribution would violate any applicable statute, regulation, agreement, or condition imposed by a regulator; or |
• | the savings bank is not eligible for expedited treatment of its filings. |
Even if an application is not otherwise required, every savings bank that is a subsidiary of a holding company must still file a notice with the Federal Reserve Board at least 30 days before the board of directors declares a dividend or approves a capital distribution.
The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Reserve Board have established similar criteria for approving an application or a notice and may disapprove a notice or application if:
• | the savings bank would be undercapitalized following the distribution; |
• | the proposed capital distribution raises safety and soundness concerns; or |
• | the capital distribution would violate a prohibition contained in any statute, regulation, or agreement. |
In addition, the Federal Deposit Insurance Act provides that an insured depository institution may not make any capital distribution, if the institution would be undercapitalized after the distribution. A savings bank may not make a capital distribution that would reduce its regulatory capital below the amount required for the liquidation account established in connection with its conversion to stock form.
Liquidity. A federal savings bank is required to maintain a sufficient amount of liquid assets to ensure its safe and sound operation. We met these liquidity requirements at December 31, 2013.
Community Reinvestment Act and Fair Lending Laws. All savings banks have a responsibility under the Community Reinvestment Act and federal regulations to help meet the credit needs of their communities, including low- and moderate-income borrowers. In connection with its examination of a federal savings bank, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency is required to assess the savings bank’s record of compliance with the Community Reinvestment Act. In addition, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act and the Fair Housing Act prohibit lenders from discriminating in their lending practices on the basis of characteristics specified in those statutes. A savings bank’s failure to comply with the provisions of the Community Reinvestment Act could, at a minimum, result in denial of certain corporate applications such as branches or mergers, or in restrictions on its activities. The failure to comply with the Equal Credit Opportunity Act and the Fair Housing Act could result in enforcement actions by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, as well as other federal regulatory agencies and the Department of Justice.
The Bank received a satisfactory Community Reinvestment Act rating in its most recent federal examination.
32
Transactions with Related Parties. A federal savings bank’s authority to engage in transactions with its affiliates is limited by Office of the Comptroller of the Currency regulations and by Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act and its implementing Regulation W. An affiliate is generally a company that controls, or is under common control with, an insured depository institution such as OmniAmerican Bank. OmniAmerican Bancorp, Inc. is an affiliate of OmniAmerican Bank. In general, loan transactions between an insured depository institution and its affiliates (or certain transactions that benefit an affiliate) are subject to certain quantitative and collateral requirements. In addition, federal regulations prohibit a savings bank from lending to any of its affiliates that are engaged in activities that are not permissible for bank holding companies and from purchasing the securities of any affiliate, other than a subsidiary. Finally, transactions with affiliates must be consistent with safe and sound banking practices, not involve low-quality assets and be on terms that are as favorable to the institution as comparable transactions with non-affiliates. Savings banks are required to maintain detailed records of all transactions with affiliates.
OmniAmerican Bank’s authority to extend credit to its directors, executive officers, and 10% stockholders, as well as to entities controlled by such persons (collectively, “insiders”), is currently governed by the requirements of Sections 22(g) and 22(h) of the Federal Reserve Act and Regulation O of the Federal Reserve Board. Among other things, these provisions require that extensions of credit to insiders:
(i) | be made on terms that are substantially the same as, and follow credit underwriting procedures that are not less stringent than, those prevailing for comparable transactions with non-insiders and that do not involve more than the normal risk of repayment or present other unfavorable features; and |
(ii) | not exceed certain limitations on the amount of credit extended to such persons, individually and in the aggregate, which limits are based, in part, on the amount of OmniAmerican Bank’s capital. |
In addition, extensions of credit to insiders in excess of certain limits must be approved in advance by the Bank’s board of directors.
Enforcement. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency has primary enforcement responsibility over federal savings banks and the Federal Reserve Board has enforcement responsibility over savings and loan holding companies and each has the authority to bring enforcement action against all “institution-affiliated parties,” including directors, officers, stockholders, attorneys, appraisers and accountants who knowingly or recklessly participate in wrongful action likely to have an adverse effect on a federal savings bank. Formal enforcement action by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency or the Federal Reserve Board may range from the issuance of a capital directive or cease and desist order, to removal of officers and/or directors of the institution, and the appointment of a receiver or conservator. Civil penalties cover a wide range of violations and actions, and range up to $37,500 per day, unless a finding of knowing or reckless disregard of the law or safe and sound banking practices is made, in which case penalties may be as high as $1,425,000 per day. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation also has the authority to terminate deposit insurance or to recommend to the Comptroller of the Currency that enforcement action be taken with respect to a particular savings institution. If action is not taken by the Comptroller of the Currency, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation has authority to take action under specified circumstances.
Standards for Safety and Soundness. Federal law requires each federal banking agency to prescribe certain standards for all insured depository institutions. These standards relate to, among other things, internal controls, information systems and audit systems, loan documentation, credit underwriting, interest rate risk exposure, asset growth, compensation, and other operational and managerial standards as the agency deems appropriate. Interagency guidelines set forth the safety and soundness standards that the federal banking agencies use to identify and address problems at insured depository institutions before capital becomes impaired. If the appropriate federal banking agency determines that an institution fails to meet any standard prescribed by the guidelines, the agency may require the institution to submit to the agency an acceptable plan to achieve compliance with the standard. If an institution fails to meet these standards, the appropriate federal banking agency may require the institution to implement an acceptable compliance plan. Failure to implement such a plan can result in further enforcement action, including the issuance of a cease and desist order or the imposition of civil money penalties.
Regulatory Guidance to Subprime Lending. The federal bank regulatory agencies have issued regulatory guidance relating to the examination of financial institutions that are engaged in significant subprime lending activities. The regulatory guidance emphasizes that the federal banking agencies believe that responsible subprime lending can expand credit access for consumers and offer attractive returns for the savings institution. The guidance is applicable to savings institutions that have subprime lending programs greater than or equal to 25% of core capital. As part of the regulatory guidance, examiners must provide greater scrutiny of (i) an institution’s ability to administer its higher risk subprime portfolio, (ii) the allowance for loan losses to ensure that the portion of the allowance allocated to the subprime portfolio is sufficient to absorb the estimated credit losses for the portfolio, and (iii) the level of risk-based capital that the savings institution has to ensure that such capital levels are adequate to support the savings institution’s subprime lending activities. As of December 31, 2013, the Office of the
33
Comptroller of the Currency has not required us to restrict our subprime lending activities. Nor has it required us to maintain specific levels in our allowance for loan losses or risk-based capital as a result of our subprime lending activities.
Prompt Corrective Action Regulations. Under the prompt corrective action regulations, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency is required and authorized to take supervisory actions against undercapitalized savings banks. For this purpose, a savings bank is placed in one of the following five categories based on the savings bank’s capital:
• | well-capitalized (at least 5% leverage capital, 6% tier 1 risk-based capital and 10% total risk-based capital, and is not subject to any written agreement, order, capital directive, or prompt corrective action directive issued by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency under certain statutes and regulations, to meet and maintain a specific capital level for any capital measure); |
• | adequately capitalized (at least 4% leverage capital (3% for associations with a composite CAMELS rating of 1), 4% tier 1 risk-based capital and 8% total risk-based capital); |
• | undercapitalized (less than 4% leverage capital (except as noted in the bullet point above), 4% tier 1 risk-based capital or 8% total risk-based capital); |
• | significantly undercapitalized (less than 3% leverage capital, 3% tier 1 risk-based capital or 6% total risk-based capital); and |
• | critically undercapitalized (less than 2% tangible capital). |
These ratios will change on January 1, 2015 when the final Basel III capital rules go into effect.
Generally, the banking regulator is required to appoint a receiver or conservator for a savings bank that is “critically undercapitalized” within specific time frames. The regulations also provide that a capital restoration plan must be filed with the Office of Comptroller of the Currency within 45 days of the date a savings bank receives notice that it is “undercapitalized,” “significantly undercapitalized” or “critically undercapitalized.” The criteria for an acceptable capital restoration plan include, among other things, the establishment of the methodology and assumptions for attaining adequately capitalized status on an annual basis, procedures for ensuring compliance with restrictions imposed by applicable federal regulations, the identification of the types and levels of activities the savings bank will engage in while the capital restoration plan is in effect, and assurances that the capital restoration plan will not appreciably increase the current risk profile of the savings bank. Any holding company for a savings bank required to submit a capital restoration plan must guarantee the lesser of an amount equal to 5% of the savings bank’s assets at the time it was notified or deemed to be undercapitalized by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, or the amount necessary to restore the savings bank to adequately capitalized status. This guarantee remains in place until the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency notifies the savings bank that it has maintained adequately capitalized status for each of four consecutive calendar quarters, and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency has the authority to require payment and collect payment under the guarantee. Failure by a holding company to provide the required guarantee will result in certain operating restrictions on the savings bank, such as restrictions on the ability to declare and pay dividends, pay executive compensation and management fees, and increase assets or expand operations. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency may also take any one of a number of discretionary supervisory actions against undercapitalized associations, including the issuance of a capital directive and the replacement of senior executive officers and directors.
At December 31, 2013, the Bank met the criteria for being considered “well-capitalized.”
Insurance of Deposit Accounts. The Dodd-Frank Act permanently increased the maximum amount of deposit insurance for banks, savings institutions, and credit unions to $250,000 per depositor, retroactive to January 1, 2008.
Under the Dodd-Frank Act, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation was given much greater discretion to manage the Deposit Insurance Fund (the “DIF”), including where to set the designated reserve ratio (the “DRR”). The Dodd-Frank Act increased the DRR from 1.15% to 1.35% of insured deposits by September 30, 2020 and left unchanged the requirement that the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Board of Directors set the DRR annually. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Board must set the DRR according to the following factors: (i) risk of loss to the DIF; (ii) economic conditions affecting the banking industry; (iii) preventing sharp swings in the assessment rates; and (iv) and other factors it deems important. Based on those factors, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Board decided to set the DRR at 2.00% based on a historical analysis of losses to the DIF. The analysis showed in order to maintain a positive fund balance and steady, predictable assessment rates, the DRR must be at least 2.00% as a long-term, minimum goal. The DRR increase may cause Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation deposit insurance assessments to rise in the future. Banks with assets of less than $10 billion are exempt from any additional assessments necessary to increase the reserve fund above 1.15%.
In November 2009, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation required insured depository institutions to prepay their estimated quarterly risk-based assessments for the fourth quarter of 2009, and for all of 2010, 2011, and 2012. The prepaid assessments were to be applied against future quarterly assessments until the prepaid assessment was exhausted or the balance
34
of the prepaid assessment was returned, whichever occurred first. In December 2009, we prepaid $6.4 million in estimated assessment fees for the fourth quarter of 2009 through 2012. The remaining prepaid balance of $2.6 million was returned to the Bank in June 2013.
Effective April 1, 2011, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation implemented a requirement of the Dodd-Frank Act to revise the assessment base to consist of average consolidated total assets during the assessment period minus the average tangible equity during the assessment period. In addition, the final rule eliminates the adjustment for secured borrowings and makes certain other changes to the impact of unsecured borrowings and brokered deposits on an institution’s deposit insurance assessment. The rule also revises the assessment rate schedule to provide assessments ranging from five to 45 basis points.
Insurance of deposits may be terminated by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation upon a finding that an institution has engaged in unsafe or unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations, or has violated any applicable law, regulation, rule, order, or condition imposed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. We do not currently know of any practice, condition, or violation that may lead to termination of our deposit insurance.
In addition to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation assessments, the Financing Corporation (“FICO”) is authorized to impose and collect, with the approval of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, assessments for anticipated payments, issuance costs, and custodial fees on bonds issued by the FICO in the 1980s to recapitalize the former Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation. The bonds issued by the FICO are due to mature in 2017 through 2019. For the quarter ended December 31, 2013, the annualized FICO assessment was equal to 0.64 basis points for each $100 in domestic deposits maintained at an institution.
OmniAmerican Bank’s Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance premium assessment and FICO assessment was $701,000 for the year ended December 31, 2013, a decrease of $129,000 from the assessment for the year ended December 31, 2012 of $830,000.
Prohibitions Against Tying Arrangements. Federal savings banks are prohibited, subject to some exceptions, from extending credit to or offering any other service, or fixing or varying the consideration for such extension of credit or service, on the condition that the customer obtain some additional service from the institution or its affiliates or not obtain services of a competitor of the institution.
Federal Home Loan Bank System. OmniAmerican Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank System, which consists of 12 regional Federal Home Loan Banks. The Federal Home Loan Bank System provides a central credit facility primarily for member institutions as well as other entities involved in home mortgage lending. As a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas, OmniAmerican Bank is required to acquire and hold shares of capital stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank. As of December 31, 2013, OmniAmerican Bank was in compliance with this requirement with a balance of $17.4 million in Federal Home Loan Bank stock.
Other Regulations
Interest and other charges collected or contracted for by OmniAmerican Bank are subject to state usury laws and federal laws concerning interest rates. OmniAmerican Bank’s operations are also subject to federal laws applicable to deposit and credit transactions, such as the:
• | Truth-In-Lending Act, governing disclosures of credit terms to consumer borrowers; |
• | Home Mortgage Disclosure Act, requiring financial institutions to provide information to enable the public and public officials to determine whether a financial institution is fulfilling its obligation to help meet the housing needs of the community it serves; |
• | Equal Credit Opportunity Act, prohibiting discrimination on the basis of race, creed, or other prohibited factors in extending credit; |
• | Fair Credit Reporting Act, governing the use and provision of information to credit reporting agencies; |
• | Fair Debt Collection Act, governing the manner in which consumer debts may be collected by collection agencies; |
• | Truth in Savings Act; and |
• | rules and regulations of the various federal agencies charged with the responsibility of implementing such federal laws, including, without limitation, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Federal Reserve Board, and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. |
35
The operations of OmniAmerican Bank also are subject to the:
• | Right to Financial Privacy Act, which imposes a duty to maintain confidentiality of consumer financial records and prescribes procedures for complying with administrative subpoenas of financial records; |
• | Electronic Funds Transfer Act and Regulation E promulgated thereunder, which govern automatic deposits to and withdrawals from deposit accounts and customers’ rights and liabilities arising from the use of debit cards, automated teller machines, and other electronic banking services; |
• | Check Clearing for the 21st Century Act (also known as “Check 21”), which gives “substitute checks,” such as digital check images and copies made from that image, the same legal standing as the original paper check; |
• | USA PATRIOT Act, which requires savings banks to, among other things, establish broadened anti-money laundering compliance programs, and due diligence policies and controls to ensure the detection and reporting of money laundering. Such required compliance programs are intended to supplement existing compliance requirements that also apply to financial institutions under the Bank Secrecy Act and the Office of Foreign Assets Control regulations; and |
• | Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, which places limitations on the sharing of consumer financial information by financial institutions with unaffiliated third parties. Specifically, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act requires all financial institutions offering financial products or services to retail customers to provide such customers with the financial institution’s privacy policy and provide such customers the opportunity to “opt out” of the sharing of certain personal financial information with unaffiliated third parties. |
Holding Company Regulation
General. OmniAmerican Bancorp, Inc. is a non-diversified savings and loan holding company within the meaning of the Home Owners’ Loan Act. As such, OmniAmerican Bancorp, Inc. is registered with the Federal Reserve Board and is subject to Federal Reserve Board regulations, examinations, supervision, and reporting requirements. Among other things, this authority permits the Federal Reserve Board to restrict or prohibit activities that are determined to be a serious risk to OmniAmerican Bank.
Permissible Activities. Under present law, the business activities of OmniAmerican Bancorp, Inc. are generally limited to those activities permissible for financial holding companies under Section 4(k) of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, or for multiple savings and loan holding companies. A financial holding company may engage in activities that are financial in nature, including underwriting equity securities and insurance, as well as activities that are incidental to financial activities or complementary to a financial activity. A multiple savings and loan holding company is generally limited to activities permissible for bank holding companies under Section 4(c)(8) of the Bank Holding Company Act, subject to the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board, and certain additional activities authorized by Federal Reserve Board regulations.
Federal law prohibits a savings and loan holding company, including OmniAmerican Bancorp, Inc., directly or indirectly, or through one or more subsidiaries, from acquiring more than 5% of another savings institution or holding company thereof, without prior written approval of the Federal Reserve Board. It also prohibits the acquisition or retention of, with certain exceptions, more than 5% of a nonsubsidiary company engaged in activities that are not closely related to banking or financial in nature, or acquiring or retaining control of an institution that is not federally insured. In evaluating applications by holding companies to acquire savings institutions, the Federal Reserve Board must consider the financial and managerial resources, future prospects of the company and institution involved, the effect of the acquisition on the risk to the federal deposit insurance fund, the convenience and needs of the community, and competitive factors.
Capital. Savings and loan holding companies have not historically been subjected to consolidated regulatory capital requirements. The Dodd-Frank Act, however, requires the Federal Reserve Board to promulgate consolidated capital requirements for depository institution holding companies that are no less stringent, both quantitatively and in terms of components of capital, than those applicable to institutions themselves. Instruments such as cumulative preferred stock and trust preferred securities will no longer be includable as tier 1 capital as is currently the case with bank holding companies. Instruments issued by May 19, 2010 will be grandfathered for companies with consolidated assets of $15 billion or less. Holding companies that were not regulated by the Federal Reserve Board as of May 19, 2010 receive a five-year transition period from the July 21, 2010 effective date of the Dodd-Frank Act before the capital requirements will apply to savings and loan holding companies.
Source of Strength. The Dodd-Frank Act also extends the “source of strength” doctrine to savings and loan holding companies. The regulatory agencies must issue regulations requiring that all bank and savings and loan holding companies serve as a source of financial and managerial strength to their subsidiary depository institutions by providing capital, liquidity, and other support in times of financial stress. However, there are no proposed regulations to implement the source of strength doctrine.
36
Dividends. The Federal Reserve Board has issued a policy statement regarding the payment of dividends by bank holding companies that it has made applicable to savings and loan holding companies as well. In general, the policy provides that dividends should be paid only out of current earnings and only if the prospective rate of earnings retention by the holding company appears consistent with the organization’s capital needs, asset quality, and overall financial condition. Regulatory guidance provides for prior regulatory review of capital distributions in certain circumstances such as where the company’s net income for the past four quarters, net of dividends previously paid over that period, is insufficient to fully fund the dividend or the company’s overall rate of earnings retention is inconsistent with the company’s capital needs and overall financial condition. The ability of a holding company to pay dividends may be restricted if a subsidiary bank becomes undercapitalized. These regulatory policies could affect the ability of OmniAmerican Bancorp, Inc. to pay dividends or otherwise engage in capital distributions.
Federal Securities Laws
The shares of common stock issued in our initial public stock offering have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933. Our common stock is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. We are subject to the information, proxy solicitation, insider trading restrictions, and other requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
The registration under the Securities Act of 1933 of shares of common stock issued in the stock offering does not cover the resale of those shares. Shares of common stock purchased by persons who are not our affiliates may be resold without registration. Shares purchased by our affiliates will be subject to the resale restrictions of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933. If we meet the current public information requirements of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, each affiliate of ours that complies with the other conditions of Rule 144, including those that require the affiliate’s sale to be aggregated with those of other persons, would be able to sell in the public market, without registration, a number of shares not to exceed, in any three-month period, the greater of 1% of our outstanding shares, or the average weekly volume of trading in the shares during the preceding four calendar weeks. In the future, we may permit affiliates to have their shares registered for sale under the Securities Act of 1933.
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 addresses, among other issues, corporate governance, auditing and accounting, executive compensation, and enhanced and timely disclosure of corporate information. As directed by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are required to certify that our quarterly and annual reports do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact. The rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act have several requirements, including having these officers certify that: they are responsible for establishing, maintaining, and regularly evaluating the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting; they have made certain disclosures to our auditors and the audit committee of the board of directors about our internal control over financial reporting; and they have included information in our quarterly and annual reports about their evaluation and whether there have been changes in our internal control over financial reporting or in other factors that could materially affect internal control over financial reporting. We have instituted policies, procedures and systems designed to ensure compliance with these regulations.
TAXATION
Federal Taxation
General. OmniAmerican Bancorp, Inc. and OmniAmerican Bank are subject to federal income taxation in the same general manner as other corporations, with some exceptions discussed below. The following discussion of federal taxation is intended only to summarize material federal income tax matters and is not a comprehensive description of the tax rules applicable to OmniAmerican Bancorp, Inc. and OmniAmerican Bank.
Method of Accounting. For federal income tax purposes, OmniAmerican Bancorp, Inc. currently reports its income and expenses on the accrual method of accounting and uses a tax year ending December 31st for filing its consolidated federal income tax returns. The Small Business Protection Act of 1996 eliminated the use of the reserve method of accounting for bad debt reserves by savings institutions, effective for taxable years beginning after 1995.
Minimum Tax. The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, imposes an alternative minimum tax at a rate of 20% on a base of regular taxable income plus certain tax preferences, referred to as “alternative minimum taxable income.” The alternative minimum tax is payable to the extent alternative minimum taxable income is in excess of an exemption amount. Net operating losses can, in general, offset no more than 90% of alternative minimum taxable income. Certain payments of alternative minimum tax may be used as credits against regular tax liabilities in future years.
37
Net Operating Loss Carryovers. Generally, a financial institution may carry back net operating losses to the preceding two taxable years and forward to the succeeding 20 taxable years. However, as a result of recent legislation, subject to certain limitations, the carryback period for net operating losses incurred in 2008 or 2009 (but not both years) has been expanded to five years.
Corporate Dividends. We may exclude from our income 100% of dividends received from OmniAmerican Bank as a member of the same affiliated group of corporations.
Audit of Tax Returns. OmniAmerican Bancorp, Inc.’s and OmniAmerican Bank’s federal income tax returns have not been audited in the most recent five-year period.
State Taxation
In 2006, the State of Texas enacted legislation replacing its franchise tax with a margin tax effective with tax reports filed on or after January 1, 2008. The Texas margin tax is computed by applying the applicable tax rate (1% for most entities) to the margin. Margin equals the lesser of three calculations: total revenue minus cost of goods sold; total revenue minus compensation expense; or total revenue times 70%. Lending institutions may deduct interest expense as cost of goods sold. Our calculation in 2013 was total revenue minus compensation expense.
ITEM 1A. Risk Factors
Our loan portfolio has greater risk than those of many savings banks due to the substantial number of automobile and other consumer loans in our portfolio.
We have a diversified loan portfolio with a substantial number of loans secured by collateral other than owner-occupied one- to four-family residential real estate. Our loan portfolio includes a substantial number of indirect automobile loans which are automobile loans referred to us by participating automobile dealerships. At December 31, 2013, our consumer loans totaled $311.6 million, or 37.7% of our total loan portfolio, and indirect automobile loans were the largest category of consumer loans, representing 32.0% of total loans at December 31, 2013. At that date, we had consumer loans 60 days or more past due of $1.3 million, or 37.5% of total loans 60 days or more past due. Indirect automobile loans represented $1.2 million, or 35.0% of total loans 60 days or more past due at December 31, 2013. Our consumer loan portfolio also includes direct automobile loans, unsecured loans, and loans secured by other personal property. Consumer loans generally have greater risk of loss or default than one- to four-family residential real estate loans, particularly in the case of loans that are secured by rapidly depreciable assets, such as automobiles, or loans that are unsecured. In these cases, we face the risk that any collateral for a defaulted loan may not provide an adequate source of repayment of the outstanding loan balance. Thus, the recovery and sale of such property could be insufficient to compensate us for the principal outstanding on these loans. Furthermore, the application of various federal and state laws, including bankruptcy and insolvency laws, may limit our ability to recover on such loans. Finally, because indirect automobile loan applications are completed by automobile dealerships, we assume the risks associated with a dealership properly complying with federal, state, and local consumer protection laws.
As a result of our relatively large portfolio of consumer loans, it may become necessary to increase our provision for loan losses in the event our losses on these loans increase, which would reduce our profits. In addition, a portion of our automobile loans are made to borrowers with credit scores that would cause such loans to be considered subprime. At December 31, 2013, $32.5 million, or 11.0% of our total automobile loan portfolio, consisted of automobile loans where the borrower’s credit score was 660 or less (a possible indication of a credit-impaired borrower). See “Item 1. Business — Lending Activities — Consumer Lending.”
A portion of our loan portfolio consists of loans made to persons with impaired credit or with reduced documentation, which presents greater risk of loss or delinquency.
As of December 31, 2013, $48.1 million, or 19.7% of our one- to four-family residential real estate loans, were to borrowers with no credit score or a credit score of 660 or less (a possible indication of a credit-impaired borrower) and an additional credit weakness. Weakened credit characteristics of a borrower may include prior loan payment delinquencies, foreclosure of prior loans, bankruptcies, or prior non-payment of loans. Loans to such borrowers may also present a greater credit risk to us based upon the borrower’s debt to income ratio, the results of a credit review, or other criteria that indicate that the borrower may have an insufficient or impaired credit history.
We also have loans to borrowers who provide limited or no documentation of assets or income, known as stated income loans. At December 31, 2013, we had $7.7 million of one- to four-family residential real estate stated income loans, or 3.2% of our one- to four-family residential real estate loans. As of December 31, 2013, we had $3.3 million of interest-only one- to four-family residential real estate loans. This amount represents 1.4% of our total one- to four-family residential real estate loans, with $2.7 million of our interest-only loans comprised of adjustable-rate loans. The interest rate on these loans is initially fixed
38
for three, five, or seven year terms and then adjusts in accordance with the terms of the loan to require payment of both principal and interest in order to amortize the loan for the remainder of the term.
In 2008, we began purchasing one- to four-family residential real estate loans, which included subprime, stated income, and interest-only loans, at a discount to the original principal balance of the mortgage loan. As of December 31, 2013, the total outstanding balance of all purchased one- to four-family residential real estate loans was $13.6 million, or 5.2% of our one- to four-family residential real estate loans and 1.7% of our total loans, while the carrying value of such loans, net of purchase discounts, was $11.9 million. Our purchased one- to four-family residential real estate loans included $3.1 million of subprime loans as of December 31, 2013. In addition, these purchased one- to four-family residential real estate loans included $7.3 million of stated income loans and $2.7 million of interest-only loans (of which $1.7 million were also stated income loans). At December 31, 2013, the purchased subprime, stated income, and interest-only loans represented 1.2%, 2.8%, and 1.0%, respectively, of our total one- to four-family residential real estate loans. We may purchase subprime, stated income, and interest-only loans, as market conditions permit, provided we are able to obtain the loans at a sufficient discount to the loan balance to compensate us for the added risk associated with such loans.
These types of one- to four-family residential real estate loans are generally considered to have a greater risk of delinquency and foreclosure than conforming loans and may require greater provisions for loan losses. Although we have not experienced large increases in delinquencies or foreclosures in this portfolio in relation to our other residential real estate loans, our residential real estate loan portfolio may be adversely affected in the event of a continued downturn in regional or national economic conditions. In addition, the value of the real estate securing these loans may become less than any remaining loan balance if local property values deteriorate further. Consequently, we could sustain loan losses and be required to establish a higher provision for loan losses.
Our exposure to credit and regulatory risk is increased by our commercial real estate, real estate construction, and commercial business lending.
Commercial real estate, real estate construction, and commercial business lending have historically had higher credit risk than single-family residential lending. Such loans typically involve larger loan balances to a single borrower or related borrowers. At December 31, 2013, our portfolio of commercial real estate loans totaled $106.6 million, or 12.9% of our total loans, our portfolio of real estate construction loans totaled $59.6 million, or 7.2% of our total loans, and our portfolio of commercial business loans totaled $69.3 million, or 8.4% of our total loans. At December 31, 2013, commercial real estate loans that were delinquent 60 days or more totaled $120,000. We had no real estate construction loans or commercial business loans that were delinquent 60 days or more at December 31, 2013. We intend to continue to emphasize the origination of these types of loans consistent with safety and soundness standards.
Commercial real estate loans, real estate construction loans, and commercial business loans generally have a greater risk of loss than owner-occupied one- to four-family residential real estate loans. Repayment of commercial real estate, real estate construction, and commercial business loans generally depends, in large part, on sufficient income from the property or the borrower’s business to cover operating expenses and debt service. These types of loans typically involve larger loan balances to single borrowers or groups of related borrowers compared to one- to four-family residential real estate loans. Changes in economic conditions that are beyond the control of the borrower and lender may affect the value of the security for the loan, the future cash flow of the affected property or business, or the marketability of a construction project with respect to loans originated for the acquisition and development of property.
We emphasize business lending and marketing our products and services to small and medium-sized businesses. These small and medium-sized businesses generally have fewer financial resources in terms of capital or borrowing capacity than larger entities. If general economic conditions negatively affect these businesses, our results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected.
Protecting our business from identity theft and the theft of other customer data increases our cost of operations. To the extent that we, or our third-party providers, are unable to prevent the loss of customer information, our operations may become disrupted and our net income may be adversely affected.
We must protect our computer systems and network from physical break-ins, security breaches, and other disruptive problems caused by the Internet or other users. Moreover, third-party providers, such as payment processing centers, must also take similar actions to protect customer information. We rely on encryption and authentication technology to provide the security and authentication necessary to effect secure transmissions of confidential information, as do our third-party providers. However, security measures implemented by us or our third-party providers may not prevent cyber-fraud. Advances in computer capabilities, new discoveries in the field of cryptography, or other developments could result in a compromise or breach of the algorithms we and our third-party service providers use to protect customer transaction data. If any compromise
39
of our security or the security of our third-party providers were to occur, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
If our allowance for loan losses is not sufficient to cover actual loan losses, our earnings will decrease.
We make various assumptions and judgments about the collectability of our loan portfolio, including the creditworthiness of our borrowers and the value of the real estate and other assets serving as collateral for the repayment of many of our loans. In determining the amount of the allowance for loan losses, we review our loans and our loss and delinquency experience, and we evaluate economic conditions. If our assumptions are incorrect, our allowance for loan losses may not be sufficient to cover probable incurred losses in our loan portfolio, requiring us to make additions to our allowance for loan losses. While our allowance for loan losses was 0.78% of total loans at December 31, 2013, material additions to our allowance could materially decrease our net income.
In addition, bank regulators periodically review our allowance for loan losses and may require us to increase our allowance for loan losses or recognize further loan charge-offs. Any increase in our allowance for loan losses or loan charge-offs as required by these regulatory authorities may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Future changes in interest rates could reduce our profits.
Our ability to make a profit depends largely on our net interest income, which could be negatively affected by changes in interest rates. Net interest income is the difference between:
• | the interest income we earn on our interest-earning assets, such as loans and securities; and |
• | the interest expense we incur on our interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings. |
As a result of our focus on one- to four-family residential real estate loans, the interest rates on our loans are generally fixed for a longer period of time than the interest rates on our deposits. Additionally, many of our investment securities have lengthy maturities with fixed interest rates. Like many savings institutions, our focus on deposit accounts as a source of funds, which have either no stated maturity or shorter contractual maturities than mortgage loans, results in our liabilities having a shorter average duration than our assets. For example, as of December 31, 2013, 20.9% of our loans had maturities of 15 years or longer, while 52.8% of our certificates of deposit had maturities of one year or less. This imbalance can create significant earnings volatility because market interest rates change over time. In a period of rising interest rates, the interest we earn on our assets, such as loans and investments, may not increase as rapidly as the interest we pay on our liabilities, such as deposits. In a period of declining interest rates, the interest income we earn on our assets may decrease more rapidly than the interest expense we incur on our liabilities, as borrowers prepay mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities and callable investment securities are called or prepaid, thereby requiring us to reinvest these cash flows at lower interest rates.
In addition, changes in interest rates can affect the average lives of loans and mortgage-backed and related securities. A reduction in interest rates generally results in increased prepayments of loans and mortgage-backed and related securities, as borrowers refinance their debt in order to reduce their borrowing costs. This creates reinvestment risk, which is the risk that we may not be able to reinvest prepayments at rates that are comparable to the rates we earned on the prepaid loans or securities. Conversely, increases in interest rates may decrease loan demand and/or make it more difficult for borrowers to repay adjustable-rate loans.
Changes in interest rates also affect the current fair value of our interest-earning securities portfolio. Generally, the value of securities moves inversely with changes in interest rates. At December 31, 2013, the fair value of our available for sale securities portfolio, consisting of mortgage-backed securities and CMOs issued by U.S. Government-sponsored enterprises, agency bonds, municipal obligations, and equity securities totaled $430.8 million with $4.4 million in total gross unrealized gains and $7.2 million in total gross unrealized losses on these securities at December 31, 2013.
We evaluate interest rate sensitivity using an internal calculation that estimates the change in our net portfolio value over a range of interest rate scenarios, also known as a “rate shock” analysis. Net portfolio value is the discounted present value of expected cash flows from assets, liabilities, and off-balance sheet contracts. As of December 31, 2013, our “rate shock” analysis indicated that our net portfolio value would increase by $53,000 if there was an instantaneous 200 basis point increase in market interest rates and would decrease by $11.4 million if there was an instantaneous 100 basis point decrease in market interest rates. See “Item 7A Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk — Management of Market Risk.”
40
A return of recessionary conditions could result in increases in our level of non-performing loans and/or reduced demand for our products and services, which would lead to lower revenue, higher loan losses and lower earnings.
A return of recessionary conditions and/or continued negative developments in the U.S. economic and credit markets may significantly affect the markets in which we do business, the value of our loans and investments, and our ongoing operations, costs and profitability. Declines in real estate values and sales volumes and increased unemployment levels may result in higher than expected loan delinquencies, increases in our levels of non-performing and classified assets and a decline in demand for our products and services. These negative events may cause us to incur losses and may adversely affect our capital, liquidity, and financial condition.
Strong competition within our market areas may limit our growth and profitability.
Competition in the banking and financial services industry is intense. In our market areas, we compete with commercial banks, savings institutions, mortgage brokerage firms, credit unions, finance companies, mutual funds, insurance companies, and brokerage and investment banking firms operating locally and elsewhere. Some of our competitors have greater name recognition and market presence that benefit them in attracting business, and offer certain services that we do not or cannot provide. In addition, larger competitors may be able to price loans and deposits more aggressively than we do, which could affect our ability to grow and remain profitable on a long-term basis. Our profitability depends upon our continued ability to successfully compete in our market areas. If we must raise interest rates paid on deposits or lower interest rates charged on our loans in order to remain competitive, our net interest margin and profitability could be adversely affected.
Financial reform legislation enacted by Congress will result in new laws and regulations that are expected to increase our costs of operations.
Congress enacted the Dodd-Frank Act in 2010. This law significantly changed the bank regulatory structure and affected the lending, deposit, investment, trading, and operating activities of financial institutions and their holding companies. The Dodd-Frank Act requires various federal agencies to adopt a broad range of new implementing rules and regulations, and to prepare numerous studies and reports for Congress. The federal agencies are given significant discretion in drafting the implementing rules and regulations, and consequently, many of the details and much of the impact of the Dodd-Frank Act may not be known for many months or years.
The Dodd-Frank Act requires publicly traded companies to give stockholders a non-binding vote on executive compensation and so-called “golden parachute” payments. The legislation also directs the Federal Reserve Board to promulgate rules prohibiting excessive compensation paid to bank holding company executives, regardless of whether the company is publicly traded or not.
The Dodd-Frank Act also created a new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau with broad powers to supervise and enforce consumer protection laws. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has broad rule-making authority for a wide range of consumer protection laws that apply to all banks and savings institutions, including the authority to prohibit “unfair, deceptive, or abusive” acts and practices. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has examination and enforcement authority over all banks and savings institutions with more than $10 billion in assets. Banks and savings institutions with $10 billion or less in assets will continue to be examined for compliance by their applicable bank regulators. The Dodd-Frank Act also weakens the federal preemption rules that have been applicable for national banks and federal savings associations, and gives state attorneys general the ability to enforce federal consumer protection laws.
It remains difficult to predict what specific impact the Dodd-Frank Act and the implementing rules and regulations will have on community banks. Moreover, significant provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act are not yet effective, and the legislation requires various federal agencies to promulgate numerous and extensive implementing regulations over the next several years. Although, the substance and scope of these regulations cannot be determined at this time, it is expected that at a minimum they will increase our operating and compliance costs and could increase our interest expense.
We operate in a highly regulated environment and may be adversely affected by changes in laws and regulations.
We are subject to extensive regulation, supervision, and examination by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Federal Reserve Board, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Such regulators govern the activities in which we may engage, primarily for the protection of depositors, consumers, and investors. These regulatory authorities have extensive discretion in connection with their supervisory and enforcement activities, including the imposition of restrictions on the operations of a bank, the classification of assets by a bank, and the adequacy of a bank’s allowance for loan losses. Any change in such regulation and oversight, whether in the form of regulatory policy, regulations, or legislation, could have a material impact on our results of operations. Because our business is highly regulated, the laws, rules, and applicable regulations are subject to regular modification and change. There can be no assurance that proposed laws, rules, and regulations, or any other
41
laws, rules, or regulations, will not be adopted in the future, which could make compliance more difficult or expensive or otherwise adversely affect our business, financial condition, or prospects.

The Company did not declare or pay any dividends on its common stock in 2013 or 2012. On January 28, 2014, the Company declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share on its outstanding common stock payable on or about March 7, 2014 to all shareholders of record as of the close of business on February 14, 2014.
The board of directors has the authority to declare cash dividends on shares of common stock, subject to statutory and regulatory requirements. Any future determination regarding payment of dividends will be at the discretion of the board of directors and will depend upon a number of factors, including capital requirements, our consolidated financial condition and results of operations, tax considerations, statutory and regulatory limitations, and general economic conditions. No assurances can be given that any cash dividends will be paid or that, if paid, will not be reduced or eliminated in the future.
Dividend payments by OmniAmerican Bancorp, Inc. are dependent primarily on dividends it receives from OmniAmerican Bank, because OmniAmerican Bancorp, Inc. has no source of income other than dividends from OmniAmerican Bank, earnings from the investment of proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock retained by OmniAmerican Bancorp, Inc., and interest payments with respect to OmniAmerican Bancorp, Inc.’s loan to the Employee Stock Ownership Plan. Federal law imposes limitations on dividends by federal stock savings banks. See “Item 1. Business — Supervision and Regulation — Capital Distributions.”

ITEM 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
This section is intended to help potential investors understand our financial performance through a discussion of the factors affecting our financial condition at December 31, 2013 and 2012, and our results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011. This section should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes to the consolidated financial statements that appear elsewhere in this annual report.
Overview
Our results of operations depend mainly on our net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income we earn on our loan and investment portfolios and the interest expense we pay on our deposits and borrowings. Results of operations are also affected by service charges and other fees, provisions for loan losses, commissions, gains (losses) on sales of securities and loans, and other income. Our noninterest expense consists primarily of salaries and benefits, professional and outside services, occupancy, other operations expense, software and equipment maintenance, depreciation of furniture, software and equipment, and communications costs.
Our results of operations are also significantly affected by general economic and competitive conditions (such as changes in energy prices which have an impact on the Texas economy and fluctuations in real estate values), as well as changes in interest rates, government policies, and actions of regulatory authorities. Future changes in applicable law, regulations, or government policies may materially affect our financial condition and results of operations.
Business Strategy
Our primary objective is to operate as an independent, community-oriented financial institution serving customers in our primary market areas. Our board of directors has sought to accomplish this objective by adopting a business strategy designed to maintain profitability, a strong capital position, and high asset quality. This business strategy includes the following elements.
Providing exceptional customer service to attract and retain customers. As a community-oriented financial institution, we emphasize providing exceptional customer service as a means to attract and retain customers. We deliver personalized service and respond with flexibility to customer needs. We believe that our community orientation is attractive to our customers and distinguishes us from the larger banks that operate in our primary market area.
Deepening our customer relationships. We intend to expand our business by cross-selling our loan and deposit products and services to our customers. We offer a wide range of products and services that allow us to meet our customers’ banking needs and provide us diversification of revenue sources. We offer our retail customers a comprehensive portfolio of deposit products, including checking, money market, savings, certificates of deposit, and individual retirement accounts, as well as lending products, including one- to four-family residential mortgage loans, new and used automobile loans, and individual lines of credit. We provide our commercial customers an extensive array of deposit and lending products and cash management programs. We focus our business lending on small and medium-sized businesses and cross-sell the entire business banking relationship to these customers, including checking and savings deposits and business banking products and services, such as online cash management, remote deposit capture, and treasury management.
Use technology to expand customer base. Although our strategy continues to emphasize superior personal service, as consumer preferences evolve we continue to expand user-friendly, technology-based systems to attract customers who want to interact with their financial institution electronically. We offer technology-based services including remote deposit capture, online banking, bill pay and treasury services, mobile banking, voice response banking, automatic payroll deposit programs, and a robust internet web site. We believe the availability of both traditional bank services and electronic banking services enhances our ability to attract a broader range of customers.
Continuing to grow our loan portfolio. Our strategy for increasing net income includes increasing our loan originations. We intend to continue to emphasize the origination of one- to four-family residential real estate loans and direct consumer loans, as well as commercial real estate, real estate construction, and commercial business loans. Commercial real estate loans, real estate construction, and commercial business loans generally are originated with higher interest rates compared to one- to four-family residential real estate loans and, therefore, have a positive effect on our interest rate spread and net interest income. In addition, the majority of these loans are originated with adjustable interest rates, which assist us in managing interest rate risk. In October 2013, we discontinued the purchase of automobile loans originated through dealerships in order to strengthen our focus on our commercial, direct retail and mortgage lending strategies.
Maintaining our high level of asset quality through conservative underwriting guidelines and aggressive monitoring of our loan portfolio. We introduce loan products only when we are confident that our staff has the necessary expertise and that sound underwriting and collection procedures are in place. For example, a relatively high percentage of our loan portfolio consists of consumer loans which are generally considered to have higher risk than owner-occupied one- to four-family
48
residential loans. For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, our average ratio of losses from consumer loans to average total loans was 0.29% and 0.28%, respectively. Our credit and collections department actively monitors the performance of our consumer and residential real estate loan portfolios. When a loan becomes past due, we promptly contact the borrower by telephone or by written communication. During each personal contact, the borrower is required to provide updated information and is counseled on the terms of the loan and the importance of making payments on or before the due date. With respect to our commercial real estate and commercial business lending, collection efforts are carried out directly by our commercial loan officers. Commercial loan officers review past due accounts weekly and promptly contact delinquent borrowers. Past due notices are typically sent to commercial real estate customers and commercial business customers at 15 days past due.
Emphasizing our lower cost deposit products to reduce the funding costs of our loan growth. We offer interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing demand accounts, money market accounts, and savings accounts, which generally are lower cost sources of funds than certificates of deposit and are less sensitive to withdrawal when interest rates fluctuate. For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, the average of our demand accounts, money market accounts, and savings accounts represented 65.18%, 62.58%, and 59.34%, respectively, of average total deposits. We intend to continue emphasizing demand accounts, money market accounts, and savings accounts as a source of funding.
Managing interest rate risk. As with most financial institutions, successfully managing interest rate risk is an integral part of our business strategy. Management and the board of directors evaluate the interest rate risk inherent in our assets and liabilities, and determine the level of risk that is appropriate and consistent with our capital levels, liquidity, and performance objectives. In particular, during the current low interest rate environment, we have sought to minimize the risk of originating long-term fixed-rate loans by selling such loans in the secondary market, and in particular selling to Fannie Mae all qualifying fixed-rate one- to four-family residential real estate loans with terms 15 years or greater. In addition, a significant percentage of our loan portfolio consists of commercial business loans and consumer loans which generally have shorter terms and provide higher yields than one- to four-family residential real estate loans. We also monitor the mix of our deposits, a majority of which have been lower cost demand deposits, money market deposits, and savings deposits. Our strategy is to continue managing interest rate risk in response to changes in the local and national economy.
Critical Accounting Policies
We consider accounting policies that require management to exercise significant judgment or discretion or make significant assumptions that have, or could have, a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets or on income, to be critical accounting policies. We consider the following to be our critical accounting policies.
Allowance for Loan Losses. We believe that the allowance for loan losses and related provision for loan losses are particularly susceptible to change in the near term, due to changes in credit quality which are evidenced by trends in charge-offs and in the volume and severity of past due loans. In addition, our loan mix is changing as we increase our commercial real estate and commercial business lending. Commercial real estate and commercial business loans generally have greater credit risk than one- to four-family residential real estate and consumer loans due to these loans being larger in amount and non-homogeneous.
The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level to cover probable credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date. Based on our estimate of the level of allowance for loan losses required, we record a provision for loan losses as a charge to earnings to maintain the allowance for loan losses at an appropriate level. The estimate of our credit losses is applied to two general categories of loans:
• | loans that we evaluate individually for impairment pursuant to ASC 310-10, “Receivables”; and |
• | groups of loans with similar risk characteristics that we evaluate collectively for impairment pursuant to ASC 450-10, “Contingencies.” |
The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and reflects consideration of all significant factors that affect the collectability of the loan portfolio. The factors used to evaluate the collectability of the loan portfolio include, but are not limited to, current economic conditions, our historical loss experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, the financial strength of the borrower, and estimated value of any underlying collateral. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are subject to significant revision as more information becomes available. Actual loan losses may be significantly more than the allowance for loan losses we have established which could have a material negative effect on our financial results. See also “Item 1. Business — Business of OmniAmerican Bank — Allowance for Loan Losses.”
Impairment of Investment Securities. The evaluation of the investment portfolio for other-than-temporary impairment is also a critical accounting policy. In evaluating the investment portfolio for other-than-temporary impairment, management considers the issuer’s credit rating, credit outlook, payment status and financial condition, the length of time the security has been in a loss position, the size of the loss position, and other meaningful information. If a decline in the fair value of an investment security below its cost is judged to be other-than-temporary, the cost basis of the investment security is written down
49
to fair value as a new cost basis. The amount of the credit related impairment write-down is recognized in our earnings and the non-credit related impairment for securities not expected to be sold is recognized in other comprehensive income (loss). A number of factors or combinations of factors could cause us to conclude in one or more future reporting periods that an unrealized loss that exists with respect to these securities constitutes an impairment that is other than temporary. These factors include failure to make scheduled principal and/or interest payments, an increase in the severity of the unrealized loss on a particular security, an increase in the continuous duration of the unrealized loss without an improvement in value or changes in market conditions, and/or industry or issuer specific factors that would render us unable to forecast a full recovery in value.
Income Taxes. OmniAmerican Bank became a taxable entity after converting from a credit union to a federally chartered savings bank on January 1, 2006. On that date, we established a net deferred tax asset of $6.1 million as a result of timing differences for certain items, including depreciation of premises and equipment, unrealized gains and losses on investment securities, and bad debt deductions. The calculation of our income tax provision and deferred tax asset is complex and requires the use of estimates and judgment in their determination. We assess the appropriate tax treatment of transactions and filing positions after considering statutes, regulations, judicial precedent, and other pertinent information, and we maintain tax accruals consistent with our evaluation. Changes in the estimate of accrued taxes occur periodically due to changes in tax rates, interpretations of tax laws, and newly enacted statutory, judicial, and regulatory guidance that could affect the relative merits of the tax positions. These changes, when they occur, impact accrued taxes and can materially affect our operating results. In addition, positions we take in preparing our federal and state tax returns are subject to the review of taxing authorities, and the review of the positions we have taken by taxing authorities could result in a material adjustment to our financial statements. On January 1, 2009, we adopted authoritative guidance under ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes.” This authoritative guidance prescribes a “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold and measurement attribute (the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate resolution with tax authorities) for the financial statement recognition and measurement of an income tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. See Note 13 — Income Taxes of the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in this annual report for additional information.
Comparison of Financial Condition at December 31, 2013 and 2012
Assets. Total assets increased $134.0 million, or 10.7%, to $1.39 billion at December 31, 2013 from $1.26 billion at December 31, 2012. The increase was primarily the result of an increase in loans, net of the allowance for loan losses and deferred fees and discounts, of $89.6 million, an increase in securities classified as available for sale of $46.9 million, and an increase in bank-owned life insurance of $11.4 million, partially offset by decreases in cash and cash equivalents of $8.0 million and loans held for sale of $7.3 million.
Cash and Cash Equivalents. Total cash and cash equivalents decreased $8.0 million, or 33.4%, to $15.9 million at December 31, 2013 from $23.9 million at December 31, 2012. The decrease in total cash and cash equivalents was primarily due to $462.2 million in cash used to originate loans, $210.0 million in cash used to purchase securities classified as available for sale, $11.0 million in cash used to repay overnight borrowings, and $10.0 million in cash used to purchase bank-owned life insurance. These decreases were partially offset by increases due to $309.8 million of cash received from loan principal repayments, $155.0 million in cash from the net increase in Federal Home Loan Bank advances, $147.9 million in proceeds from sales, principal repayments, and maturities of securities, and $65.9 million of proceeds from the sales of loans.
Securities. Securities classified as available for sale increased $46.9 million, or 12.2%, to $430.8 million at December 31, 2013 from $383.9 million at December 31, 2012. The increase in securities classified as available for sale during the year ended December 31, 2013, reflected purchases of $210.0 million, partially offset by principal repayments and maturities of $101.7 million, sales of $44.5 million, a decrease in unrealized gains of $13.7 million, and amortization of the net premiums on investments of $3.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2013. At December 31, 2013, securities classified as available for sale consisted primarily of government-sponsored mortgage-backed securities, government-sponsored CMOs, agency bonds, municipal obligations, and other equity securities.
Bank Owned Life Insurance. Bank-owned life insurance increased $11.4 million, or 35.5%, to $43.6 million at December 31, 2013 from $32.2 million at December 31, 2012, primarily due to the purchase of $10.0 million of life insurance policies on certain key employees during the year ended December 31, 2013.
50
Loans. Loans, net increased $89.6 million, or 12.2%, to $824.9 million at December 31, 2013 from $735.3 million at December 31, 2012.

Automobile loans (consisting of direct and indirect loans) increased $47.0 million, or 18.8%, to $296.3 million at December 31, 2013 from $249.3 million at December 31, 2012, related primarily to our competitive rate structure. The increase in emphasis on generating commercial loans resulted in increases in our commercial real estate, real estate construction and commercial business portfolios. Commercial real estate loans increased $21.8 million, or 25.7% to $106.6 million at December 31, 2013 from $84.8 million at December 31, 2012, primarily due to $37.2 million of loan originations, partially offset by loan repayments of $15.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2013. Real estate construction loans increased $7.4 million, or 14.2%, to $59.6 million at December 31, 2013 from $52.2 million at December 31, 2012, as new construction borrowing demand increased in our market area. Commercial business loans increased $5.9 million, or 9.4%, to $69.3 million at December 31, 2013 from $63.4 million at December 31, 2012. The increase in commercial business loans was primarily due to $75.9 million of loan originations, partially offset by loan repayments of $56.4 million and a $13.6 million decrease in our participating interest in mortgage warehouse lines of credit with another financial institution during the year ended December 31, 2013. One- to four-family residential real estate loans increased $11.0 million, or 4.4%, to $262.7 million at December 31, 2013 from $251.8 million at December 31, 2012. The increase in one- to four-family residential real estate loans was primarily due to originations of $63.9 million, partially offset by repayments of $52.9 million. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in home equity loans of $3.8 million and a decrease in other consumer loans of $1.4 million, as loans are maturing and paying off. We continue to monitor the composition of our loan portfolio and seek to obtain a reasonable return while managing the potential for risk of loss.
Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses decreased $455,000, or 6.6%, to $6.4 million at December 31, 2013 from $6.9 million at December 31, 2012, while total loans increased $87.9 million, or 11.9%, to $827.0 million at December 31, 2013 from $739.1 million at December 31, 2012. The decreases in the allowance for loan losses attributable to commercial business loans, direct automobile loans, real estate construction loans and home equity loans were partially offset by increases in the allowance for loan losses related to indirect automobile loans, other consumer loans, and one- to four-family residential real estate loans. At December 31, 2013, the allowance for loan losses represented 0.78% of total loans compared to 0.93% of total loans at December 31, 2012. Included in the allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2013 were specific reserves for loan losses of $521,000 related to five impaired loans with balances totaling $1.6 million. Impaired loans with balances totaling $11.4 million did not require specific reserves for loan losses at December 31, 2013. The allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2012 included specific reserves for loan losses of $278,000 related to three impaired loans with balances totaling $981,000. In addition, impaired loans with balances totaling $19.5 million did not require specific reserves for loan losses at December 31, 2012. The balance of unimpaired loans increased $95.4 million, or 11.7%, to $814.0 million at December 31, 2013 from $718.6 million at December 31, 2012. The allowance for loan losses related to unimpaired loans decreased $698,000, or 10.5%, to $5.9 million at December 31, 2013 from $6.6 million at December 31, 2012.
51
The significant changes in the amount of the allowance for loan losses during the year ended December 31, 2013 related to: (i) a $405,000 decrease in the general allowance for loan losses attributable to unimpaired commercial real estate loans primarily due to a decrease in net charge-offs of commercial real estate loans to no net charge-offs during the year ended December 31, 2013 from $99,000, or 0.11% of total loans outstanding during the year ended December 31, 2012 and (ii) a $397,000 decrease in the general allowance for loan losses attributable to unimpaired commercial business loans resulting primarily from a decrease in net charge-offs of commercial business loans to $70,000, or 0.11% of average loans outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2013 from $737,000, or 1.47% of average loans outstanding, for the year ended December 31, 2012. Partially offsetting these decreases was a $321,000 increase in the allowance for loan losses attributable to impaired commercial real estate loans resulting from a specific reserve for one loan that was identified as not sufficiently covered by the value of the collateral. Management also considered local economic factors and unemployment rates as well as the higher risk profile of commercial business and commercial real estate loans when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses as it pertains to these types of loans.
Other Real Estate Owned. Other real estate owned decreased $4.6 million, or 96.3% to $177,000 at December 31, 2013 from $4.8 million at December 31, 2012. The decrease resulted primarily from the sales of other real estate owned properties totaling $4.5 million and write-downs of the values of other real estate owned properties to the current fair values less costs to sell totaling $227,000, partially offset by $184,000 in loans reclassified to other real estate owned.
Deposits. Deposits decreased $2.7 million, or 0.3%, to $813.6 million at December 31, 2013 from $816.3 million at December 31, 2012.

The decrease was primarily due to decreases in certificates of deposit of $23.8 million and savings deposits of $916,000. The decrease in certificates of deposit resulted from certificates of deposit that matured and were not renewed. These decreases were partially offset by increases in noninterest-bearing demand deposits of $10.7 million, interest-bearing demand deposits of $6.8 million, and money market deposits of $4.4 million. The increase in noninterest-bearing demand deposits was primarily related to growth in commercial deposits. The increase in interest-bearing demand deposits was primarily due to growth in consumer deposits. The increase in money market deposits was primarily attributable to commercial deposits and increased sales of a cash sweep product.
Borrowings. Federal Home Loan Bank advances increased $155.0 million, or 74.9%, to $362.0 million at December 31, 2013 from $207.0 million at December 31, 2012. The increase in Federal Home Loan Bank was attributable to advances of $410.0 million, partially offset by scheduled maturities of $255.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2013. Repurchase agreements decreased $6.0 million, or 75.0%, to $2.0 million at December 31, 2013 from $8.0 million at December 31, 2012. The decrease resulted primarily from the maturity and repayment of $6.0 million of repurchase agreements in January 2013. Other borrowings decreased $11.0 million at December 31, 2013 from December 31, 2012, due to the repayment of overnight borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank outstanding at December 31, 2012. There were no overnight borrowing as of December 31, 2013.

Stockholders’ Equity. At December 31, 2013, our stockholders’ equity was $207.1 million, an increase of $1.5 million, or 0.8%, from $205.6 million at December 31, 2012.

Partially offsetting these increases in stockholders’ equity was a decrease of $7.8 million of other comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2013 resulting primarily from a decrease in unrealized gains on available for sale securities.
Comparison of Operating Results for the Years Ended December 31, 2013 and 2012
General. Net income increased $729,000, or 12.8%, to $6.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 from $5.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. The increase in net income for the year ended December 31, 2013 reflected a decrease in interest expense of $3.2 million and an increase in noninterest income of $574,000, partially offset by a decrease in interest income of $1.7 million, an increase in noninterest expense of $540,000, an increase in income tax expense of $448,000, and an increase in the provision for loan losses of $300,000.
Interest Income. Interest income decreased $1.7 million, or 3.5%, to $48.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 from $50.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. The decrease resulted from a decrease of 28 basis points in our average yield on interest-earning assets, partially offset by $1.3 million in interest income recognized upon payoff in July 2013 of a loan that had been on nonaccrual status, and a 0.8% increase in the average balances of interest-earning assets. The decrease in our average yield on interest-earning assets during the year ended December 31, 2013 as compared to the prior year period was primarily due to the purchase of investment securities and the origination of new loans at lower rates as market interest rates continued to decline.

The increase resulted primarily from an increase in the average balance of loans of $72.0 million, or 9.8%, to $805.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 from $733.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. Partially offsetting the increase in interest income due to an increase in the average balance of the loan portfolio was a 38 basis point decrease in the average yield on our loan portfolio to 4.85% for the year ended December 31, 2013 from 5.23% for the year ended December 31, 2012.
Interest income on investment securities decreased $2.5 million, or 20.8%, to $9.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 from $11.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. The decrease resulted primarily from a $56.8 million, or 12.2%, decrease in the average balance of our securities portfolio to $407.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 from $464.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, primarily due to sales, principal repayments, and maturities of securities. The decrease in interest income on investment securities was also attributable to a decrease in the average yield on our securities portfolio of 25 basis points to 2.24% for the year ended December 31, 2013 from 2.49% for the year ended December 31, 2012.

The decrease in interest expense resulted from a $2.0 million decrease in interest expense on borrowed funds and a $1.2 million decrease in interest expense on deposits. The average rate we paid on deposits decreased 15 basis points to 0.67% for the year ended December 31, 2013 from 0.82% for the year ended December 31, 2012, as we lowered the rates on our deposits as market interest rates continued to decline. Contributing to the decrease in the average rate paid on deposits was a shift in the composition of our deposits from higher cost certificates of deposit to lower cost interest-bearing demand deposits and money market deposits. The average balance of our interest-bearing demand deposits and money market deposits increased $25.3 million, or 7.3%, to $369.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 from $344.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, while the average balance of our certificates of deposit decreased $20.0 million, or 6.6%, to $282.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 from $302.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2012.
Interest expense on certificates of deposit decreased $1.1 million, or 20.3%, to $4.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 from $5.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. The decrease in interest expense was attributable to a 27 basis points decrease in the average rate paid on certificates of deposit to 1.55% for the year ended December 31, 2013 from 1.82% for the year ended December 31, 2012, reflecting lower market interest rates and a decrease in the average balance of certificates of deposit. Interest expense on our savings accounts decreased $65,000, or 57.5%, to $48,000 for the year ended December 31, 2013 from $113,000 for the prior year, primarily due to a 4 basis point decrease in the average rate paid on savings deposits and a $16.3 million decrease in the average balance of these types of deposits. Interest expense on our interest-bearing demand accounts and money market accounts, decreased $25,000, or 3.8%, to $634,000 for the year ended December 31, 2013 from $659,000 for the prior year, primarily due to a 2 basis point decrease in the average rate paid on these types of deposits reflecting lower market interest rates, partially offset by a $25.3 million increase in the average balance of interest-bearing demand accounts and money market accounts.
Interest expense on borrowed funds decreased $2.0 million or 43.7%, to $2.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 from $4.6 million for the prior year, primarily due to decreases of $1.7 million in interest expense attributable to repurchase agreements and $278,000 in interest expense attributable to Federal Home Loan Bank advances. The decrease in interest expense attributable to repurchase agreements was primarily due to a $34.1 million, or 93.9%, decrease in the average balance of repurchase agreements as $50.0 million of repurchase agreements matured and were repaid in July 2012 and another $6.0 million matured and were repaid in January 2013. The decrease in interest expense attributable to Federal Home Loan Bank advances was due primarily to a decrease in the average rate paid for Federal Home Loan Bank advances of 24 basis points to 0.84% for the year ended December 31, 2013 from 1.08% for the year ended December 31, 2012, partially offset by an increase in the average balance of Federal Home Loan Bank advances of $41.3 million, or 16.2%.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income is the difference between interest income on interest-earning assets, such as loans and securities, and interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings. Interest rate spread is the difference between the weighted-average yield on interest-earning assets and the weighted average cost of interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest margin is the ratio of net interest income to average interest-earning assets for the period.
Net interest income increased by $1.4 million, or 3.7%, to $40.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 from $39.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. Our interest rate spread increased 12 basis points, to 3.20% for the year ended December 31, 2013 from 3.08% for the year ended December 31, 2012. Our net interest margin increased 9 basis points to 3.30% for the year ended December 31, 2013 from 3.21% for the year ended December 31, 2012. The increases in net interest income, interest rate spread, and net interest margin for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to the prior year resulted primarily from an increase in the average balance of loans receivable, the repayment of repurchase agreements, a reduction in the rates paid on our deposit products, and a shift in the composition of our deposits from higher cost certificates of deposit to lower cost interest-bearing demand deposits and money market deposits.
Provision for Loan Losses. We recorded a provision for loan losses of $2.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to a provision for loan losses of $2.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. The increase in the provision is
54
primarily due to an $87.9 million, or 11.9%, increase in total loans outstanding to $827.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 from $739.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. Partially offsetting the increase in the provision for loan losses due to an increase in total loans outstanding was a decrease in net charge-offs of $253,000, or 8.6%, to $2.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, compared to $3.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. Net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans outstanding decreased to 0.34% for the year ended December 31, 2013 from 0.40% for the year ended December 31, 2012. The allowance for loan losses to total loans receivable decreased to 0.78% at December 31, 2013 from 0.93% at December 31, 2012. Total substandard loans decreased $4.9 million, or 21.5%, to $17.9 million at December 31, 2013 from $22.8 million at December 31, 2012. Total impaired loans decreased $7.4 million, or 36.5%, to $13.0 million at December 31, 2013 from $20.4 million at December 31, 2012.
Non-performing loans include loans on non-accrual status or loans delinquent 90 days or greater and still accruing interest. None of our loans were delinquent 90 days or greater and still accruing interest at either December 31, 2013 or December 31, 2012. At December 31, 2013, non-performing loans totaled $4.3 million, or 0.53% of total loans, compared to $7.9 million, or 1.06% of total loans, at December 31, 2012. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of non-performing loans increased to 148.37% at December 31, 2013 from 87.81% at December 31, 2012. To the best of our knowledge, we have provided for all losses that are both probable and reasonable to estimate at December 31, 2013 and 2012.
Noninterest Income. Noninterest income increased by $574,000, or 3.6%, to $16.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 from $15.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2012.

The increase in gains on sales of investment securities was attributable to sales of $44.5 million of securities available for sale with gross realized gains of $1.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to sales of $59.6 million of securities available for sale with gross realized gains of $860,000 for the year ended December 31, 2012. The increase in gains on sales of premises and equipment resulted primarily from the sale of land adjacent to one of our branch locations during the year ended December 31, 2013. The improvement in the income from the increase in cash surrender value of bank-owned life insurance was primarily due to the purchase of $10.0 million of life insurance policies during the year ended December 31, 2013. The increase in service charges and other fees was due primarily to a decrease in mortgage servicing rights impairment of $372,000 during the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to the prior year. The decrease in gains on sales of loans resulted primarily from less favorable pricing on loans sold due to rising interest rates during the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to the year ended December 31, 2012.

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense increased by $540,000, or 1.2%, to $45.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 from $44.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2012.

The increase in noninterest expense was primarily attributable to an increase in salaries and benefits expense of $1.4 million and an increase in software and equipment maintenance of $347,000, partially offset by a decrease in the net loss on write-down of other real estate owned expense of $802,000. The increase in salaries and benefits expense was due primarily to an $855,000 increase in health insurance expense due to unfavorable medical claims experience, a $391,000 increase in salaries expense primarily due to $599,000 in severance expenses related to a reduction in force partially offset by a decrease in expense related to the reduction in headcount, and a $326,000 increase in equity incentive plan expenses. The increase in software and equipment maintenance expense resulted primarily from the addition of new software related to our enhanced E-banking and mobile banking services as well as higher costs on renewals of existing maintenance contracts. The decrease in the net loss on the write-down of other real estate owned was primarily attributable to write-downs of properties to their current fair value less estimated costs to sell totaling $227,000 during the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to a total of $1.0 million in write-downs during the year ended December 31, 2012.
Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense increased $448,000, or 15.6%, to $3.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 from $2.9 million for the prior year, primarily due to an increase in pre-tax income. Our effective tax rate, including provisions for the Texas state margin tax, was 34.1% for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to 33.6% for the year ended December 31, 2012. The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily due to an increase in nondeductible expenses.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Years Ended December 31, 2012 and 2011
General. Net income increased $1.7 million, or 43.6%, to $5.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 from $4.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. The increase in net income for the year ended December 31, 2012 reflected an increase in noninterest income of $2.6 million, a decrease in the provision for loan losses of $1.3 million and a decrease in noninterest expense of $380,000, partially offset by a decrease in net interest income of $1.5 million and an increase in income tax expense of $1.0 million.
Interest Income. Interest income decreased $3.8 million, or 7.0%, to $50.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 from $53.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. The decrease resulted from a decrease of 45 basis points in our average yield on interest-earning assets to 4.10% for the year ended December 31, 2012 from 4.55% for the year ended December 31, 2011. The decrease in our average yield on interest-earning assets during the year ended December 31, 2012 as compared to the prior year period was primarily due to the purchase of investment securities and the origination of new loans at lower current market rates. Partially offsetting the decrease in the average yield on interest-earning assets was a $39.0 million, or 3.3%, increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets to $1.22 billion for the year ended December 31, 2012 from $1.18 billion for the year ended December 31, 2011.

The decrease resulted primarily from a 67 basis point decrease in the average yield on our loan portfolio to 5.23% for the year ended December 31, 2012 from 5.90% for the year ended December 31, 2011. Partially offsetting the decrease in interest income due to a decrease in the average yield on the loan portfolio was an increase in the average balance of loans of $62.1 million, or 9.3%, to $733.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 from $671.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2011.

The decrease in interest expense was primarily the result of a $1.1 million decrease in interest expense on borrowed funds and a $1.1 million decrease in interest expense on deposits. The average rate we paid on deposits decreased 19 basis points to 0.82% for the year ended December 31, 2012 from 1.01% for the year ended December 31, 2011, as we were able to reprice our deposits lower as market interest rates declined. Partially offsetting the decrease in expense due to the decrease in the rates we paid on deposits was a $38.6 million, or 5.3%, increase in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits to $768.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 from $730.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. The increase in the average balance of our interest-bearing deposits was primarily due to increases in the average balance of our interest-bearing demand accounts and money market accounts, partially offset by decreases in the average balance of our savings accounts and certificates of deposit.
Interest expense on certificates of deposit decreased $776,000, or 12.3%, to $5.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 from $6.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. The decrease in interest expense was attributable to a $23.4 million, or 7.2%, decrease in the average balance of certificates of deposit to $302.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 from $325.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. The average rate paid on certificates of deposit decreased 11 basis points to 1.82% for the year ended December 31, 2012 from 1.93% for the year ended December 31, 2011, reflecting lower market interest rates. Interest expense on our interest-bearing demand accounts, money market accounts, and savings accounts decreased $299,000, or 27.2%, to $772,000 for the year ended December 31, 2012 from $1.1 million for the prior year, primarily due to a 9 basis point decrease in the average rate paid on these types of deposits reflecting lower market interest rates, partially offset by a $62.0 million increase in the average balance of interest-bearing demand accounts, money market accounts, and savings accounts.
Interest expense on borrowed funds decreased $1.1 million or 20.1%, to $4.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 from $5.7 million for the prior year, primarily due to a decrease of $21.7 million, or 37.4%, in the average balance of repurchase agreements to $36.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 from $58.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 as $50.0 million of repurchase agreements matured and were repaid in July 2012. An increase in the average balance of Federal Home Loan Bank advances of $47.3 million, or 22.7%, was offset by a decrease in the average rate paid for Federal Home Loan Bank advances of 25 basis points to 1.08% for the year ended December 31, 2012 from 1.33% for the year ended December 31, 2011.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income decreased by $1.5 million, or 3.8%, to $39.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 from $40.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, primarily due to a decrease in interest income partially offset by a decrease in interest expense. Our interest rate spread decreased 16 basis points, to 3.08% for the year ended December 31, 2012 from 3.24% for the year ended December 31, 2011. Our net interest margin decreased 24 basis points to 3.21% for the year ended December 31, 2012 from 3.45% for the year ended December 31, 2011. The decreases in the interest rate spread and the net interest margin resulted primarily from a decrease in the average yield on interest-earning assets.
Provision for Loan Losses. We recorded a provision for loan losses of $2.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to a provision for loan losses of $3.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. The decrease in the provision is primarily due to a $1.3 million, or 30.2%, decrease in net charge-offs to $3.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 from $4.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, and a $16.6 million, or 42.1%, decrease in loans classified as substandard, to $22.8 million at December 31, 2012 from $39.4 million at December 31, 2011. At December 31, 2012, we identified 99 impaired loans with balances totaling $20.4 million. Three of these impaired loans with balances totaling $981,000 had specific reserves totaling $278,000. Included in the substandard loan total at December 31, 2011 were 121 impaired loans with balances totaling $32.9 million. Four of these impaired loans with balances totaling $11.2 million had specific reserves totaling $1.4 million. Net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans outstanding decreased to 0.40% for the year ended December 31, 2012 from 0.63% for the year ended December 31, 2011. The allowance for loan losses to total loans receivable decreased to 0.93% at December 31, 2012 from 1.15% at December 31, 2011.
58
Non-performing loans include loans on non-accrual status or loans delinquent 90 days or greater and still accruing interest. None of our loans were delinquent 90 days or greater and still accruing interest at either December 31, 2012 or December 31, 2011. At December 31, 2012, non-performing loans totaled $7.9 million, or 1.06% of total loans, compared to $9.6 million, or 1.40% of total loans, at December 31, 2011. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of non-performing loans increased to 87.81% at December 31, 2012 from 82.08% at December 31, 2011. To the best of our knowledge, we have provided for all losses that are both probable and reasonable to estimate at December 31, 2012 and 2011.
Noninterest Income. Noninterest income increased by $2.6 million, or 20.0%, to $15.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 from $13.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2011.

The increase in gains on sales of loans resulted primarily from improvements in the pricing of one- to four-family residential real estate loans sold in the secondary market, our efforts to sell more of our one- to four-family residential real estate loans, and the sale of a substandard commercial business loan in the year ended December 31, 2011 at a loss of $212,000. The increase in commissions income resulted primarily from an increase in the sales of investment products. The decrease in net losses on sales of repossessed assets resulted primarily from fewer foreclosures and sales of repossessed assets and the stabilization of asset values in 2012. The improvement in the increase in cash surrender value of bank-owned life insurance was primarily due to the purchase of $10.0 million of life insurance policies during the year ended December 31, 2012. The decrease in service charges and other fees income was primarily attributable to a decrease in non-sufficient funds fee income and a decrease in debit card interchange income.

The decrease in noninterest expense was primarily attributable to decreases in the write-downs of other real estate owned expense of $1.5 million, depreciation of furniture, software, and equipment of $866,000, other operations expense of $407,000, real estate owned expense of $267,000, and FDIC insurance expense of $264,000, partially offset by increases in salaries and benefits expense of $1.8 million, professional and outside services expense of $898,000, and occupancy expense of $317,000. The decrease in the net loss on the write-down of other real estate owned was primarily attributable to write-downs of properties to their current fair value less estimated costs to sell totaling $1.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to a total of $2.5 million in write-downs during the year ended December 31, 2011. The decrease in depreciation of furniture, software, and equipment was due primarily to certain assets being fully depreciated. The decrease in other operations expense was primarily attributable to our company-wide cost reduction efforts. The increase in salaries and benefits expense was due primarily to expenses related to our equity incentive plan implemented in June 2011 and higher commissions expense reflecting an increase in sales of investment products. The increase in professional and outside services resulted primarily from increases in expenses related to the equity incentive plan attributable to our outside directors and costs associated with the expansion of our ATM network and enhancement of our electronic banking capabilities. The increase in occupancy expense was primarily due to higher maintenance expense for our branch office buildings and an increase in lease expense resulting from the expansion of the leased facility housing our call center and several back-office departments.
Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense increased $1.0 million, or 56.0%, to $2.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 from $1.8 million for the prior year, primarily due to higher pre-tax income in 2012. Our effective tax rate, including provisions for the Texas state margin tax, was 33.6% for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to 31.7% for the year ended December 31, 2011. The increase in the effective tax rate is primarily attributable to an increase in nondeductible expenses.

Rate/Volume Analysis
The following table presents the effects of changing rates and volumes on our net interest income for the years indicated. The rate column shows the effects attributable to changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior volume). The volume column shows the effects attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior rate). The total column represents the sum of the prior columns. For purposes of this table, changes attributable to both rate and volume, which cannot be segregated, have been allocated proportionately, based on the changes due to rate and the changes due to volume.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity is the ability to meet current and future financial obligations of a short-term nature. Our primary sources of funds consist of deposit inflows, loan repayments, advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas, and maturities and sales of securities. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows, and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions, and competition. Our Asset/Liability Management Committee is responsible for establishing and monitoring our liquidity targets and strategies in order to ensure that sufficient liquidity exists for meeting the borrowing needs and deposit withdrawals of our customers, as well as unanticipated contingencies. We seek to maintain a liquidity ratio of 10.0% or greater. For the year ended December 31, 2013, our liquidity ratio averaged 32.5%. We believe that we have enough sources of liquidity to satisfy our short- and long-term liquidity needs as of December 31, 2013.
We regularly monitor and adjust our investments in liquid assets based upon our assessment of:
(i) | expected loan demand; |
(ii) | expected deposit flows and borrowing maturities; |
(iii) | yields available on interest-earning deposits and securities; and |
(iv) | the objectives of our asset/liability management program. |
Excess liquid assets are invested generally in interest-earning deposits and short- and intermediate-term securities.
Our most liquid assets are cash and cash equivalents. The levels of these assets are affected by our operating, financing, lending, and investing activities during any given period. At December 31, 2013, cash and cash equivalents totaled $15.9
62
million. Securities classified as available for sale, which provide additional sources of liquidity, totaled $430.8 million at December 31, 2013. On that date, we had $362.0 million in Federal Home Loan Bank advances outstanding, with the ability to borrow an additional $255.4 million.
Our cash flows are derived from operating activities, investing activities, and financing activities as reported in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows included in our consolidated financial statements.
At December 31, 2013, we had $113.4 million in commitments to extend credit. Included in the commitments to extend credit were $95.6 million in unused lines of credit to borrowers. Certificates of deposit due within one year of December 31, 2013 totaled $142.5 million, or 17.5% of total deposits. If these deposits do not remain with us, we will be required to seek other sources of funds, including loan sales and Federal Home Loan Bank advances. Depending on market conditions, we may be required to pay higher rates on such deposits or other borrowings than we currently pay on the certificates of deposit due on or before December 31, 2014. We believe, however, based on past experience, that a significant portion of such deposits will remain with us. We have the ability to attract and retain deposits by adjusting the interest rates offered.
Our primary investing activities are originating loans and purchasing investment securities. We originated $462.2 million, $388.8 million, and $305.1 million of loans during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively. In addition, we purchased $210.0 million, $53.0 million, and $441.9 million of securities during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively.
Financing activities consist primarily of activity in deposit accounts and Federal Home Loan Bank advances. We had a net decrease in total deposits of $2.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 and net increases in total deposits of $8.7 million and $6.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Deposit flows are affected by the overall level of interest rates, the interest rates and products offered by us and our local competitors, and by other factors.
Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of business management. If we require funds beyond our ability to generate them internally, borrowing agreements exist with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas, which provide additional sources of funds. Federal Home Loan Bank advances increased by $155.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, decreased $55.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, and increased by $221.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2011. Federal Home Loan Bank advances have primarily been used to fund loan demand and to purchase investment securities. At December 31, 2013, we had the ability to borrow up to $617.4 million from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas. In addition, we maintained $55.0 million in federal funds lines with other financial institutions at December 31, 2013. We also have a line of credit with the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas which allows us to borrow on a collateralized basis at a fixed term with pledged assignments. At December 31, 2013, the borrowing limit for this line of credit was $298.9 million.
Banks and bank holding companies are subject to various regulatory capital requirements, including a risk-based capital measure. The risk-based capital guidelines include both a definition of capital and a framework for calculating risk-weighted assets by assigning balance sheet assets and off-balance sheet items to broad risk categories. At December 31, 2013, OmniAmerican Bancorp, Inc. and OmniAmerican Bank exceeded all regulatory capital requirements. OmniAmerican Bancorp, Inc. believes that, as of December 31, 2013, its bank subsidiary, OmniAmerican Bank, is considered “well capitalized” under regulatory guidelines. See “Item 1. Business — Supervision and Regulation — Federal Banking Regulation — Capital Requirements” and Note 12 — Regulatory Matters of the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in this annual report.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Aggregate Contractual Obligations
Commitments. As a financial services provider, we routinely are a party to various financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risks, such as commitments to extend credit and unused lines of credit. While these contractual obligations represent our future cash requirements, a significant portion of commitments to extend credit may expire without being drawn upon. Such commitments are subject to the same credit policies and approval process accorded to loans we make. For additional information, see Note 16 — Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk of the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in this annual report.
Contractual Obligations. In the ordinary course of our operations, we enter into certain contractual obligations. Such obligations include operating leases for premises and equipment, and agreements with respect to borrowed funds and deposit liabilities.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
For discussion of Recent Accounting Pronouncements, see Note 1 — Summary of Significant Accounting and Reporting Policies — Recent Accounting Pronouncements of the notes to consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this report.
Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices
Our consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). U.S. GAAP generally requires the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without consideration of changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The impact of inflation is reflected in the increased cost of our operations. Unlike industrial companies, our assets and liabilities are primarily monetary in nature. As a result, changes in market interest rates have a greater impact on performance than the effects of inflation.
ITEM 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Management of Market Risk
General. Because the majority of our assets and liabilities are sensitive to changes in interest rates, our most significant form of market risk is interest rate risk. We are vulnerable to an increase in interest rates to the extent that our interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice more quickly than our interest-earning assets. As a result, a principal part of our business strategy is to manage interest rate risk and limit the exposure of our net interest income to changes in market interest rates. Accordingly, our board of directors has established an Asset/Liability Management Committee, which is responsible for evaluating the interest rate risk inherent in our assets and liabilities, for determining the level of risk that is appropriate given our business strategy, operating environment, capital, liquidity and performance objectives, and for managing this risk consistent with the guidelines approved by the board of directors.
Our interest rate sensitivity is monitored through the use of a net interest income simulation model which generates estimates of the change in our net interest income over a range of interest rate scenarios. The model assumes loan prepayment rates, reinvestment rates, and deposit decay rates based on historical experience and current economic conditions.
64
We have sought to manage our interest rate risk in order to control the exposure of our earnings and capital to changes in interest rates. As part of our ongoing asset-liability management, we currently use the following strategies to manage our interest rate risk:
(i) | sell the long-term, fixed-rate one- to four-family residential real estate loans (terms 15 years or greater) that we originate into the secondary mortgage market; |
(ii) | lengthen the weighted-average maturity of our liabilities through retail deposit pricing strategies and through longer-term wholesale funding sources such as fixed-rate advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas; |
(iii) | invest in shorter- to medium-term securities; |
(iv) | originate commercial business and consumer loans, which tend to have shorter terms and higher interest rates than residential real estate loans, and which generate customer relationships that can result in larger noninterest-bearing demand deposit accounts; |
(v) | maintain adequate levels of capital; and |
(vi) | evaluate the performance of the leveraging strategy by utilizing our internal measuring and monitoring system which includes interest rate sensitivity analysis. |
We have not engaged in hedging through the use of derivatives.
Net Portfolio Value. We currently use a net portfolio value (“NPV”) analysis to monitor our level of interest rate risk. This analysis measures interest rate risk by capturing changes in the net portfolio value of our cash flows from assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet items, based on a range of assumed changes in market interest rates. NPV represents the market value of portfolio equity and is equal to the market value of assets minus the market value of liabilities, with adjustments made for off-balance sheet items. These analyses assess the risk of loss in market risk-sensitive instruments in the event of a sudden and sustained 100 to 300 basis point increase or 100 basis point decrease in the United States Treasury yield curve with no effect given to any steps that we might take to counter the effect of that interest rate movement.
The table below sets forth, as of December 31, 2013, our calculation of the estimated changes in our NPV that would result from the designated immediate changes in the United States Treasury yield curve. In addition to NPV calculations, we analyze our sensitivity to changes in interest rates through our internal net interest income model which is also summarized in the table below at December 31, 2013.

(1) | Assumes an instantaneous uniform change in interest rates at all maturities. |
(2) | NPV is the discounted present value of expected cash flows from assets, liabilities, and off-balance sheet contracts. |
(3) | Present value of assets represents the discounted present value of incoming cash flows on interest-earning assets. |
(4) | NPV Ratio represents NPV divided by the present value of assets. |
Computations of prospective effects of hypothetical interest rate changes are based on numerous assumptions, including relative levels of market interest rates, loan prepayments, and deposit decay, and should not be relied upon as indicative of actual results. The model illustrates the change in the economic value of our assets and liabilities at December 31, 2013 assuming an immediate change in interest rates. The table above indicates that at December 31, 2013, in the event of a 200 basis point increase in interest rates, we would experience a 0.02% increase in net portfolio value. In the event of a 100 basis point decrease in interest rates, we would experience a 4.01% decrease in net portfolio value.
65
The Bank’s asset/liability management strategy sets acceptable limits to the percentage change in NPV given changes in interest rates. For instantaneous, parallel and sustained interest rate increases of 200 and 300 basis points, the Bank’s policy indicates that the NPV ratio should not fall below 6.00%. As illustrated in the foregoing table, the Bank was within policy limits at December 31, 2013.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income is the difference between the interest income we earn on our interest-earning assets, such as loans and securities, and the interest we pay on our interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings. In our model, we estimate what our net interest income would be for a rolling forward twelve-month period using historical data for assumptions such as loan prepayment rates and deposit decay rates, the current term structure for interest rates, and current deposit and loan offering rates. We then calculate what the net interest income would be for the same period in the event of an instantaneous 100, 200, or 300 basis point increase or a 100 basis point decrease in market interest rates. As of December 31, 2013, using our internal interest rate risk model, we estimated that our net interest income for the year ended December 31, 2013 would decrease by 3.89% in the event of an instantaneous 200 basis point increase in market interest rates, and would decrease by 9.79% in the event of an instantaneous 100 basis point decrease in market interest rates.
We use various assumptions in assessing interest rate risk through changes in net portfolio value and net interest income. These assumptions relate to interest rates, loan prepayment rates, deposit decay rates, and the market values of certain assets under differing interest rate scenarios, among others. As with any method of measuring interest rate risk, certain shortcomings are inherent in the methods of analyses presented in the foregoing table. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods to repricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates. Also, the interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while interest rates on other types may lag behind changes in market rates. Additionally, certain assets, such as adjustable-rate mortgage loans, have features that restrict changes in interest rates on a short-term basis and over the life of the asset. Further, if there is a change in interest rates, expected rates of prepayments on loans and early withdrawals from certificates could deviate significantly from those assumed in calculating the table. Prepayment rates can have a significant impact on interest income. Because of the large percentage of loans and mortgage-backed securities we hold, rising or falling interest rates have a significant impact on the prepayment speeds of our earning assets that in turn affect the rate sensitivity position. While we believe these assumptions to be reasonable, there can be no assurance that assumed prepayment rates will approximate actual future mortgage-backed security and loan repayment activity.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)
NOTE 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting and Reporting Policies
Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of OmniAmerican Bancorp, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, OmniAmerican Bank, together referred to as “OmniAmerican” or the “Company.” All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
OmniAmerican Bancorp, Inc., a Maryland corporation, owns all of the outstanding shares of OmniAmerican Bank (the “Bank”). The Bank is a federally-chartered savings bank headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas that provides a variety of banking and financial services to individuals and business customers. The Bank’s operations are conducted primarily through its administrative offices and 14 branches located in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex and Hood County.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The allowance for loan losses, realization of deferred tax assets, and fair values of financial instruments are particularly subject to change.
Segment Reporting
Operating segments are components of a business about which separate financial information is available and that are evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision-maker in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. Public companies are required to report certain financial information about operating segments in interim and annual financial statements. The Company’s chief operating decision-maker uses consolidated results to make operating and strategic decisions. Therefore, the Company is considered to have one operating segment.
Cash and Cash Equivalents and Concentrations
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, amounts due from banks, and investments with maturities of three months or less at date of purchase. Net cash flows are reported for loan and deposit transactions.
The Company maintains funds on deposit at correspondent banks which at times exceed the federally insured limits. The Company’s management monitors the balances in these accounts and periodically assesses the financial condition of correspondent banks.
Investment Securities
Investments that the Company intends to hold for an indefinite period of time, but not necessarily to maturity, are classified as available for sale and are carried at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on investments classified as available for sale have been accounted for as accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
Gains and losses on the sale of available for sale securities are determined using the specific-identification method. Amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts are recognized in interest income over the period to maturity. For debt securities the Company intends to sell prior to recovery or for which it is more likely than not that the Company will have to sell prior to recovery, impairment losses are considered other-than-temporary and the entire difference between the security’s cost and its fair value is recorded in earnings. For debt securities the Company does not intend to sell or for which it is more likely than not that the Company will not have to sell prior to recovery, the Company recognizes a credit loss component of an other-than-temporary impairment in earnings and the remaining portion of the impairment loss in other comprehensive income. The credit loss component of an other-than-temporary impairment is determined based upon the Company’s estimate of the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected.
The Company, as a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) system, is required to maintain an investment in capital stock of the FHLB in an amount between 0.02% and 0.15% of its assets plus between 3.00% and 5.00% of advances outstanding. No ready market exists for the FHLB stock and it has no quoted market value; however, the stock is redeemable upon proper notice given to the FHLB. The investment in FHLB stock is carried at cost and dividends are recorded as income when received. FHLB stock is included in other investments in the consolidated balance sheets.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)
(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)
Loans Held for Sale
Loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value in the aggregate. Net unrealized losses, if any, are recognized through a valuation allowance by charges to income. Sales in the secondary market are recognized when full acceptance and funding has been received. Gains and losses on sales of loans are recorded as the difference between the sales price and the carrying value of the loan sold.
Loans
Loans that management intends to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at the amount of unpaid principal, net of an allowance for loan losses and deferred loan fees and costs. Interest on loans is recognized over the terms of the loans and is calculated using the simple interest method on principal amounts outstanding. Loan fees and certain direct loan origination costs are deferred, and the net fee or cost is recognized as an adjustment to interest income using the interest method over the contractual lives of the related loans. For loans that are paid off prior to their contractual maturity, any remaining unamortized loan fees or costs are recognized.
Premiums and discounts on purchased loans are amortized over the estimated life of the loans as an adjustment to yield using the interest method. 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, 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 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.
Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Company does not separately review individual consumer and residential real estate loans for impairment, unless such loans are the subject of a restructuring agreement.
A loan modification that is renegotiated to assist borrowers who are unable to meet the original terms of their loans, and to maximize the recovery of the loans to these borrowers is considered a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”). A TDR occurs when the Company grants a concession it would not otherwise consider because of economic or legal reasons pertaining to the borrower’s financial difficulties. TDRs are identified as impaired loans.
Income Recognition on Impaired and Non-accrual Loans
The accrual of interest on loans, including impaired loans, is discontinued when management believes that the borrower’s financial condition is such that collection of interest is doubtful. The Company’s policy is generally to discontinue accrual of interest when the loan becomes 90 days delinquent. Delinquency status is based on contractual terms of the loan. All interest accrued but not collected for loans that are placed on non-accrual status or charged off is reversed against interest income. Cash payments received on loans on non-accrual status reduce the principal of the loans.
Loans may be returned to accrual status when all principal and interest amounts contractually due are reasonably assured of repayment within an acceptable period of time and there is a sustained period of repayment performance by the borrower in accordance with the contractual terms of interest and principal.
Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level that, in management’s judgment, is adequate to cover probable credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date. The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Loan losses 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.
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
76
OmniAmerican Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiary
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)
(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)
information becomes available. The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are classified as doubtful, substandard, or special mention, and that are also classified as impaired. For such loans that are also classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the expected cash flows, discounted at the loan's contractual rate (or, for collateral dependent loans, the collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. The general component covers non-classified loans and is primarily based on the historical loss experience adjusted for relevant qualitative factors.
The allowance for loan losses includes allowance allocations calculated in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 310, “Receivables” and allowance allocations calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 450, “Contingencies.” Further information regarding the Company’s policies and methodology used to estimate the allowance for loan losses is presented in Note 4 – Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses.
Premises and Equipment
Land is carried at cost. Depreciable premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation expense is computed on the straight-line method based upon the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from 20 to 40 years for buildings and building improvements and from three to 10 years for furniture and equipment. Maintenance and repairs are charged to noninterest expense. Renewals and betterments are added to the asset accounts and depreciated over the periods benefited. Depreciable assets sold or retired are removed from the asset and related accumulated depreciation accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in the income and expense accounts. The cost of leasehold improvements is amortized using the straight-line method over the lesser of the useful lives of the assets or the terms of the related leases.
Bank-Owned Life Insurance
The Company has purchased life insurance policies on certain key executives. Bank-owned life insurance is recorded at the amount that can be realized under the insurance contract at the balance sheet date, which is the cash surrender value adjusted for other charges or other amounts due that are probable at settlement. Changes in the net cash surrender value of the policies, as well as insurance proceeds received are reflected in non-interest income on the consolidated statements of income and are not subject to income taxes.
Other Real Estate Owned and Foreclosed Assets
Other real estate owned is recorded at fair value less the estimated costs to sell the property at the date of transfer to other real estate owned. The fair value of other real estate is determined through independent third-party appraisals. At the time a loan is transferred to other real estate owned, any carrying amount in excess of the fair value less estimated costs to sell the property is charged off to the allowance for loan losses. Subsequently, should the fair value of an asset, less the estimated costs to sell, decline to less than the carrying amount of the asset, the deficiency is recognized in the period in which it becomes known and is included in noninterest expense. Net operating expenses of properties are also included in noninterest expense. Gains and losses realized from sales of other real estate owned are recorded in noninterest income.
Other foreclosed assets are held for sale and are initially recorded at fair value less estimated selling costs 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 costs to sell. Foreclosed assets are included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Revenues and expenses from operations and changes in the valuation allowance are included in noninterest expense.
Interest Rate Lock Commitments
Interest rate lock commitments for mortgage loans originated for sale are carried at fair value and are included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. See Note 6 — Derivative Financial Instruments for additional information.
Mortgage Servicing Rights
Mortgage servicing rights are initially recorded at fair value when acquired through the sale of loans with servicing rights retained and are amortized to servicing income on loans sold in proportion to and over the period of estimated net servicing income. The value of mortgage servicing rights at the date of the sale of loans is determined based on the discounted present value of expected future cash flows using key assumptions for servicing income and costs and prepayment rates on the underlying loans.
77
OmniAmerican Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiary
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)
(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)
The estimated fair value is evaluated periodically with the assistance of a third-party firm for impairment by comparing actual cash flows and estimated cash flows from the servicing assets to those estimated at the time servicing assets were originated. The effect of changes in market interest rates on estimated rates of loan prepayments represents the predominant risk characteristic underlying the mortgage servicing rights portfolio. The Company’s methodology for estimating the fair value of mortgage servicing rights is highly sensitive to changes in assumptions. For example, the determination of fair value uses anticipated prepayment speeds. Actual prepayment experience may differ and any difference may have a material effect on the fair value. Thus, any measurement of mortgage servicing rights’ fair value is limited by the conditions existing and assumptions as of the date made. Those assumptions may not be appropriate if they are applied at different times.
Stock-Based Compensation
Compensation cost is recognized for stock option and restricted stock awards issued to employees, based on the fair value of these awards at the date of grant. A Black-Scholes model is utilized to estimate the fair value of stock options, while the market price of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant is used for restricted stock awards.
Compensation cost is recognized over the required service period, generally defined as the vesting period. For awards with graded vesting, compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award.
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 the 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.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes as prescribed in ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes.” Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and net operating loss carryforwards. If currently available information raises doubt as to the realization of the deferred tax assets, a valuation allowance is established. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The Company evaluates uncertain tax positions at the end of each reporting period. The Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit recognized in the financial statements from any such position is measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, after evaluating all uncertain tax positions, the Company concluded there were no material uncertain tax positions. The Company’s federal income tax returns have not been audited for the tax years 2006 through 2012.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Accounting principles generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains, and losses be included in net income. Certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities and the defined benefit pension plan, are reported in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).
Restrictions on Cash
Cash on hand or on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank of $1,122 and $12,648 was required to meet regulatory reserve and clearing requirements at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are charged to earnings as incurred. Advertising costs of $576, $409, and $446 were charged to earnings during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively.

Earnings Per Common Share
Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period, reduced for unallocated ESOP shares. Diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period increased for the dilutive effect of unvested stock options and stock awards, if any.
Employee Stock Ownership Plan
Compensation expense for the Company's Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP") is recorded at an amount equal to the shares allocated by the ESOP multiplied by the average fair market value of the shares during the period. The Company recognizes compensation expense ratably over the year based upon the Company’s estimate of the number of shares expected to be allocated by the ESOP. The cost of shares issued to the ESOP, but not yet allocated to participants, is shown as a reduction of stockholders’ equity in the consolidated balance sheets. The difference between the average fair market value and the cost of the shares allocated by the ESOP is recorded as an adjustment to additional paid-in capital.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2011-11, “Balance Sheet: Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities.” ASU 2011-11 requires entities to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. ASU 2011-11 is effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. An entity should provide the disclosures required by those amendments retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-01, “Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities.” This guidance amends the scope of ASU No. 2011-11 to clarify that the disclosure requirements are limited to derivatives, including bifurcated embedded derivatives, repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and lending transactions that are either offset in the statement of financial position or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.” Under ASU 2013-02, an entity is required to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the financial statements or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income, but only if the amount reclassified is required to be reclassified in its entirety in the same reporting period. For amounts that are not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross reference to other disclosures that provide additional details about those amounts. ASU 2013-02 does not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in the financial statements. ASU 2013-02 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012 for public companies. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

The Company views its investment in the stock of the FHLB of Dallas as a long-term investment. Accordingly, when evaluating for impairment, the value is determined based on the ultimate recovery of the par value rather than recognizing temporary declines in value. The decision of whether impairment exists is a matter of judgment that should reflect the investor’s views on the FHLB of Dallas’ long-term performance, which includes factors such as its operating performance, the severity and duration of declines of the market value of its net assets relative to its capital stock amount, its commitment to make payments required by law or regulation and the level of such payments in relation to its operating performance, the impact of legislative and regulation changes on the FHLB of Dallas and accordingly, on the members of the FHLB of Dallas, and its liquidity and funding position. The Company does not believe that its investment in the FHLB of Dallas was impaired at December 31, 2013 or 2012.

A large percentage of the Company’s customers work or reside in Tarrant or Dallas County, and in the surrounding areas. Although the Company has a diversified loan portfolio, borrowers’ ability to repay loans may be affected by the economic climate of the overall geographic region in which borrowers reside.
In 2008, the Bank began purchasing one- to four-family residential loans at a discounted price to the principal balance of the mortgage loans. These loans did not exhibit evidence of credit deterioration at the time of purchase. The discount on the purchased loans is accreted to interest income using the effective interest method for fixed-rate loans and using the straight-line method for adjustable-rate loans. As of December 31, 2013, the total outstanding loan balance of all purchased one- to four-family residential loans was $13,619, while the carrying value, net of purchase discounts was $11,944. As of December 31, 2012, the total outstanding loan balance of all purchased one- to four-family residential loans was $16,353, while the carrying value, net of purchase discounts was $14,193. The Bank did not purchase any loans during the years ended December 31, 2013 or 2012.
In 2009, the Company established a line of credit with the Federal Reserve Bank. As of December 31, 2013, $49,512 of commercial loans and $249,372 of consumer loans were pledged as collateral for this line of credit. The Company also has a line of credit with the FHLB of Dallas which allows it to borrow on a collateralized basis at a fixed term and overnight with pledged assignments. The borrowings are collateralized by a blanket floating lien on all first mortgage loans, mortgage-backed securities, the FHLB capital stock owned by the Company, and any funds on deposit with FHLB. As of December 31, 2013, $204,241 of loans were pledged as collateral for this line of credit.

The allowance for loan losses is a reserve established through a provision for loan losses charged to expense, which represents management’s best estimate of probable losses that have been incurred within the existing portfolio of loans. Our methodology for evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses consists of:
• | a specific loss component which is the allowance for impaired loans pursuant to ASC 310-10, “Receivables,” and |
• | a general loss component for all other loans not individually evaluated for impairment but that, on a portfolio basis, are believed to have some inherent but unidentified loss pursuant to ASC 450-10, “Contingencies.” |
The specific component of the allowance for loan losses relates to loans that are classified as doubtful or substandard. For such loans that are also classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan are lower than the carrying value of that loan. 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, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for non-homogeneous loans, including one- to four-family residential real estate loans with balances in excess of $1,000, commercial real estate, real estate construction, and commercial business 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. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, consumer and one- to four-family residential real estate loans with balances less than $1,000 are not separately identified for impairment disclosures, unless such loans are the subject of a restructuring agreement.
The general component of the allowance for loan losses covers unimpaired loans and is based on the historical loss experience adjusted for other qualitative factors. The loan portfolio is stratified into homogeneous groups of loans that possess similar loss potential characteristics and an appropriate loss ratio adjusted for other qualitative factors is applied to the homogeneous pools of loans to estimate the incurred losses in the loan portfolio. The other qualitative factors considered by management include, but are not limited to, the following:
• | changes in lending policies and procedures, including underwriting standards and collection, charge-off, and recovery practices; |
• | changes in national and local economic and business conditions and developments, including the condition of various market segments; |
• | changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio; |
• | changes in the experience, ability, and depth of knowledge of the management of the lending staff; |
• | changes in the trend of the volume and severity of past due and classified loans; and trends in the volume of non-accrual loans, troubled debt restructurings, and other loan modifications; |

• | changes in the quality of our loan review system and the degree of oversight by the board of directors; |
• | the existence and effect of any concentrations of credit, and changes in the level of such concentrations; and |
• | the effect of external factors such as competition and legal and regulatory requirements on the level of estimated credit losses in our current portfolio. |
Consumer loans generally have greater risk of loss or default than one- to four-family residential real estate loans, particularly in the case of loans that are secured by rapidly depreciable assets, such as automobiles, or loans that are unsecured. In these cases, a risk exists that the collateral, if any, for a defaulted loan may not provide an adequate source of repayment of the outstanding loan balance. Furthermore, the application of various federal and state laws, including bankruptcy and insolvency laws, may limit the ability to recover on consumer loans.
Commercial real estate loans generally have greater credit risks compared to one- to four-family residential real estate loans, as they typically involve larger loan balances concentrated with single borrowers or groups of related borrowers. In addition, the payment experience on loans secured by income-producing properties typically depends on the successful operation of the related real estate project and thus may be subject to a greater extent to adverse conditions in the real estate market and in the general economy.
Commercial business loans involve a greater risk of default than residential real estate loans of like duration since their repayment generally depends on the successful operation of the borrower’s business and the sufficiency of collateral, if any. Loans secured by multi-family residential real estate generally involve a greater degree of credit risk than one- to four-family residential real estate loans and carry larger loan balances. This increased credit risk is a result of several factors, including the concentration of principal in a limited number of loans and borrowers, the effects of general economic conditions on income-producing properties, and the increased difficulty of evaluating and monitoring these types of loans. Furthermore, the repayment of loans secured by multi-family mortgages typically depends upon the successful operation of the related real estate property. If the cash flow from the project is reduced, the borrower’s ability to repay the loan may be impaired.
Real estate construction loans generally have greater credit risk than traditional one- to four-family residential real estate loans. The repayment of these loans depends upon the sale of the property to third parties or the availability of permanent financing upon completion of all improvements. In the event a loan is made on property that is not yet approved for the planned development, there is the risk that approvals will not be granted or will be delayed. These events may adversely affect the borrower and the collateral value of the property. Real estate construction loans also expose us to the risk that improvements will not be completed on time in accordance with specifications and projected costs. In addition, the ultimate sale or rental of the property may not occur as anticipated.
When establishing the allowance for loan losses, management categorizes loans into risk categories based on the class of loans — residential real estate, commercial, or consumer — and relevant information about the ability of the borrowers to repay the loans, such as the current economic conditions, historical payment experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, the financial strength of the borrower and the estimated value of any underlying collateral, among other factors. Management classifies the loans individually analyzed for impairment as to credit risk. This analysis includes residential real estate loans with an outstanding balance in excess of $1,000 and non-homogeneous loans, such as commercial real estate, real estate construction, and commercial business loans. The following definitions for the credit risk ratings are used for such loans.
Special mention. Special mention loans have potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or in the institution’s credit position at some future date. Special mention assets are not adversely classified and do not expose the institution to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification.
Substandard. Substandard loans have well defined weaknesses where a payment default and/or a loss is possible, but not yet probable. Loans so classified are inadequately protected by the current net worth and repayment capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. If deficiencies are not corrected quickly, there is a possibility of loss.
Doubtful. Doubtful loans have the weaknesses and characteristics of substandard loans, but the available information suggests that collection or liquidation in its entirety, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, is highly improbable. The possibility of a loss is exceptionally high, but certain identifiable contingencies could possibly arise (proposed merger, acquisition, capital injection, refinancing plans, and pledging of additional collateral) that may strengthen the loan, such that it is reasonable to defer its classification as a loss until a more exact status is determined.

A loan is considered a 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 the interest rate at less than a current market rate of interest or an extension of a loan’s stated maturity date. Loans classified as TDRs are designated as impaired.
A summary of the Company’s loans classified as TDRs at December 31, 2013 and 2012 is presented below:

Included in the impaired loans as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 were TDRs of $9,239 and $18,250, respectively. The Company has allocated $72 and $0 of specific reserves to customers whose loan terms have been modified in TDRs as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, no additional funds were committed to be advanced in connection with TDRs.
The Company’s other real estate owned and foreclosed assets represent properties and personal collateral acquired through customer loan defaults. The property is recorded at fair value less the estimated costs to sell at the date acquired. Any difference between the book value and estimated market value is recognized as a charge-off through the allowance for loan losses. Subsequently, should the fair market value of an asset, less the estimated cost to sell, decline to less than the carrying amount of the asset, the deficiency is recognized in the period in which it becomes known and is included in noninterest expense.
At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had balances in non-performing assets consisting of the following:

The servicing fees for one- to four-family residential loans are recorded in service charges and other fees on the consolidated statements of income.
NOTE 6 – Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company has entered into commitments with prospective residential mortgage borrowers to originate loans whereby the interest rate on the loan is determined prior to funding and the borrowers have locked into that interest rate. The interest rate lock commitments on loans originated for sale are recorded at fair value in accordance with ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” and are included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. The estimated fair values of the interest rate lock commitments are based on quoted secondary market pricing, include the fair value of the servicing rights based on the discounted present value of expected future cash flows, and assume an approximate closure rate based on recent historical experience. Changes in the fair value of interest rate lock commitments are recorded in current earnings as a component of net gains on sales of loans.
To manage the interest rate risk associated with interest rate lock commitments and mortgage loans held for sale, the Company may enter into forward loan sales commitments to deliver mortgage loan inventory to investors. The estimated fair values of forward loan sales commitments are based on quoted secondary market pricing. The fair values of the forward loan sales commitments are recorded as an other asset or an accrued liability in the consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the fair values of forward loan sales commitments are recorded in current earnings as a component of net gains on sales of loans.

NOTE 11 – Employee Benefit Plans
Pension Plan
The Company sponsors a defined benefit pension plan (the “Pension Plan”) for the benefit of its employees. The Pension Plan originally called for benefits to be paid to eligible employees at retirement based primarily upon years of service with the Company and compensation levels at retirement. On November 15, 2006, the Company announced that it would freeze benefits under the Pension Plan effective December 31, 2006, so that no further benefits will be earned by employees after that date. In addition, no new participants may be added to the Pension Plan after December 31, 2006.
Changes in the plan benefit obligation using a December 31 measurement date for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 were as follows:

Rate of increase in future compensation | — | % | — | % | — | % |
Historical and future expected returns of multiple asset classes were analyzed to develop a risk-free real rate of return and risk premiums for each asset class. The overall rate for each asset class was developed by combining a long-term inflation component, the risk-free real rate of return, and the associated risk premium. A weighted-average rate was developed based on those overall rates and the target asset allocation of the plan.
The Company’s current Pension Plan target allocations and the weighted-average asset allocations as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 by asset category are as follows:
Target | Actual Allocations | |||||||
Allocations | 2013 | 2012 | ||||||
Equity securities | 80 | % | 84 | % | 81 | % | ||
Debt securities | 20 | % | 16 | % | 19 | % | ||
100 | % | 100 | % | 100 | % |
The assets of the Pension Plan are invested in domestic and international equity securities, fixed income securities, and real estate securities funds. The plan’s investment policy includes guidelines and procedures designed to ensure assets are invested in a manner necessary to meet expected future benefits earned by participants. The investment guidelines consider a broad range of economic conditions. The objective is to maintain investment portfolios that limit risk through prudent asset allocation parameters, achieve asset returns that meet or exceed the plan’s actuarial assumptions, and achieve asset returns that are competitive with like institutions employing similar investment strategies. The Company periodically reviews the investment policy. The policy is established and administered in a manner so as to comply at all times with applicable government regulations.
The major categories of assets in the Pension Plan as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 are presented in the following table. Assets are segregated by the level of the valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy established by ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” utilized to measure fair value (see Note 15 — Fair Value Measurements).

Share-Based Compensation
At its annual meeting held May 24, 2011, the Company’s stockholders approved the OmniAmerican Bancorp, Inc. 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) which provides for the grant of stock-based and other incentive awards to officers, employees and directors of the Company. The Plan provides the board or a committee thereof with the flexibility to award no less than half the eligible awards, constituting 7% of the shares issued in the Company’s initial public offering, in the form of stock options and up to 7% of the shares issued in the initial public offering in the form of restricted stock. By resolution of the board of directors, the board confirmed that restricted stock awards will not exceed 4% of the common stock sold in the Company’s initial public offering. Pursuant to board resolution, 1,190,250 options to purchase shares of common stock and 476,100 restricted shares of common stock were made available.
Share-based compensation expense for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 was $1,827, $1,331, and $308, respectively.
Restricted Stock
Compensation expense for restricted stock is recognized over the vesting period of the awards based on the fair value of the stock at grant date, which is determined using the last sale price as quoted on the NASDAQ Stock Market. Shares awarded to employees vest at a rate of 20% of the initially awarded amount per year, beginning on the first anniversary date of the award, and are contingent upon continuous service by the recipient through the vesting date. Shares awarded to directors vest at a rate of 20% to 33% of the initially awarded amount per year, beginning on the first anniversary date of the award, and are contingent upon continuous service by the recipient through the vesting date. Under the terms of the Plan, awarded shares are restricted as to transferability and may not be sold, assigned, or transferred prior to vesting. The vesting period is subject to acceleration of vesting upon a change in control of the Company or upon the termination of the award recipient’s service due to death or disability. Total restricted shares issuable pursuant to board resolution are 476,100 at December 31, 2013, of which 295,538 shares had been issued under the Plan through December 31, 2013.
A summary of changes in the Company’s nonvested restricted shares for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 follows:

As of December 31, 2013, the Company had $2,665 of unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested shares of restricted stock awarded under the Plan. The unrecognized compensation expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.35 years. At the grant date, the Company applied an estimated forfeiture rate of 8.40% to officers’ and employees’ shares and 0.00% to directors’ shares based on the historical turnover rates.

Stock Options
Under the terms of the Plan, stock options may not be granted with an exercise price less than the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date the option is granted and may not be exercised later than 10 years after the grant date. The fair market value is the last sale price as quoted on the NASDAQ Stock Market on the date of grant. All stock options granted must vest over at least three and not over five years, subject to acceleration of vesting upon a change in control, death or disability.
The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a closed form option valuation (Black-Scholes) model that uses the assumptions noted in the table below. The risk-free interest rate is the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with a remaining term equal to the expected term of the stock option in effect at the time of the grant. Although the contractual term of the stock options granted is 10 years, the expected term of the stock options is less because option restrictions do not permit recipients to sell or hedge their options. Management believes these restrictions encourage exercise of the option before the end of the contractual term. The Company does not have sufficient historical information about its own employees’ vesting behavior; therefore, the expected term of stock options is estimated using the average of the vesting period and contractual term. The Company does not have sufficient historical information about its own stock volatility; therefore, the expected volatility is based on an average volatility of peer banks.
There were no stock options granted during the year ended December 31, 2013. The weighted-average fair value of each stock option granted during the year ended December 31, 2012 was $8.58. The fair value of options granted was determined using the following weighted-average assumptions as of grant date:
2012 | ||
Risk-free interest rate | 1.13 | % |
Expected term of stock options (years)—for officers and employees | 7.50 | |
Expected term of stock options (years)—for Directors | 7.50 | |

Expected dividends | — | % |

options is calculated based on the difference between the exercise price of the underlying awards and the market price of our common stock as of December 31, 2013.
401(k) Plan
The Company also has a discretionary defined contribution savings plan (the “Savings Plan”). The Savings Plan is qualified under Sections 401 and 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code and allows employees to contribute a portion of their salary on a pretax basis into the Savings Plan. The Company matches a portion of employees’ contributions. Matching contributions made by the Company are accrued and funded on a current basis. During the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, the Company contributed approximately $612, $575, and $557 to the Savings Plan, respectively, which is included in salaries and benefits expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.
Employee Stock Ownership Plan
OmniAmerican Bank adopted the ESOP effective January 1, 2010. The ESOP enables all eligible employees of the Bank to share in the growth of the Company through the acquisition of stock. Employees are generally eligible to participate in the ESOP after completion of one year of service and attaining age 21.
The ESOP purchased 8% of the shares offered in the initial public offering of the Company (952,200 shares). This purchase was facilitated by a note payable to the Company from the ESOP in the amount of $9,522. The note is secured by a pledge of the ESOP shares. The shares pledged as collateral are reported as unallocated ESOP shares in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The corresponding note is to be paid back in 25 approximately equal annual payments of $561 on the last day of each fiscal year, beginning December 31, 2010, including interest at an adjustable rate equal to the Wall Street Journal prime rate (3.25% as of December 31, 2013 and 2012). The note payable and the corresponding note receivable have been eliminated for consolidation purposes.
The Company may make discretionary contributions to the ESOP in the form of debt service. Dividends received on the unallocated ESOP shares are utilized to service the debt. Shares are released for allocation to plan participants based on principal and interest payments of the note. Compensation expense is recognized based on the number of shares allocated to plan participants each year and the average market price of the stock for the current year. Released ESOP shares become outstanding for earnings per share computations.
As compensation expense is incurred, the unallocated ESOP shares account is reduced based on the original cost of the stock. The difference between the cost and average market price of shares released for allocation is applied to additional paid-in capital. Compensation expense recognized from the release of shares from the ESOP was $893, $792, and $567 for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively.
At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the ESOP shares were as follows:

NOTE 12 – Regulatory Matters
The Company is subject to regulation and examination. Until July 21, 2011, the Company and the Bank were regulated by the Office of Thrift Supervision. As of July 21, 2011, the Company’s primary federal regulator is the Federal Reserve Board, and the Bank’s primary federal regulator is the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation also has regulatory and examination authority with respect to the Bank. The deposits of the Bank are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
The Company is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Bank regulatory authorities have established risk-based capital guidelines for U.S. banking organizations. The objective of these efforts is to provide a more consistent system for comparing capital positions of banking organizations and to reflect the level of risk associated with holding various categories of assets. The guidelines define tier 1 capital and tier 2 capital. The components of tier 1 capital for the Company include stockholders’ equity excluding unrealized gains and losses on available
101

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)
(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)
for sale securities and other intangible assets. Tier 2 capital includes a portion of the allowance for loan losses. These two components combine to become Total Capital. The guidelines also stipulate that four categories of risk weights (0, 20, 50 and 100%), primarily based on the relative credit risk of the counterparty, be applied to the different types of balance sheet assets. Risk weights for all off-balance sheet exposures are determined by a two-step process, wherein the face value of the off-balance sheet item is converted to a “credit equivalent amount” and that amount is assigned to the appropriate risk category. Off-balance sheet items at December 31, 2013 and 2012 included unfunded loan commitments and letters of credit. The minimum ratio for qualifying Total Capital is 8.0%, of which 4.0% must be tier 1 capital.
In addition to the minimum guidelines stated above, the regulatory authorities have established minimums for an institution to be classified as “well capitalized.” A financial institution is deemed to be well capitalized if the institution has a total risk-based capital ratio of 10.0% or greater, a tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6.0% or greater and a tier 1 leverage ratio of 5.0% or greater and the institution is not subject to an order, written agreement, capital directive or prompt corrective action directive to meet and maintain a specific capital level for any capital measure.
The table below presents the capital required as a percentage of total and risk-weighted assets and the percentage and the total amount of capital maintained for the Company and the Bank at December 31, 2013 and 2012 without giving effect to the final Basel III capital rules adopted by the Federal Reserve Board on July 2, 2013 and by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency on July 9, 2013:

Management continues to evaluate the final Basel III capital rules and their impact, which rules will apply beginning in reporting periods after January 1, 2015.
The Home Owners’ Loan Act (“HOLA”), as amended, requires savings institutions to meet a Qualified Thrift Lender (“QTL”) test. The QTL test requires at least 65% of assets be maintained in housing-related finance and other specified areas. An institution must be in compliance with the QTL test on a monthly basis in nine out of every 12 months. If this requirement is

No valuation allowance has been provided on deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2013 and 2012. In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent on the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers taxes paid in prior carryback years, the projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon the level of historical income and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes it is more likely than not the Company will realize all benefits related to these deductible temporary differences.
A reconciliation of the tax provision at the statutory rate of 34% of pretax income to the provision for taxes as shown in the accompanying consolidated statements of income for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011 is as follows:

NOTE 15 – Fair Value Measurements
ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
• | Level 1 Inputs—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. |
• | Level 2 Inputs—Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These might include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as interest rates, volatilities, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.) or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market data by correlation or other means. |
• | Level 3 Inputs—Unobservable inputs for determining the fair values of assets or liabilities that reflect an entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities. |
A description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as well as the general classification of such assets pursuant to the fair value hierarchy, is set forth below.
Securities available for sale: The fair values of securities available for sale is determined by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1 inputs). When quoted market prices in active markets are unavailable, the Company determines fair values based on independent external valuation information obtained from independent pricing services, which utilizes various models and valuation techniques based on a range of inputs including pricing models, quoted market prices of publicly traded securities with similar duration and yield, time value, yield curve, prepayment speeds, default rates and discounted cash flows. In most cases, these estimates are determined based on independent third-party valuation information, and the amounts are disclosed as Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy depending on the level of observable market inputs. Additional pricing services are used as a comparison to ensure that realistic fair values are used in pricing the investment portfolio.
Interest rate lock commitments: Interest rate locks on commitments to originate loans for the held for sale portfolio are reported at fair value in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets with changes in value recorded in current earnings. The estimated fair values of the interest rate lock commitments are based on quoted secondary market pricing, include the fair value of the servicing rights based on the discounted present value of expected future cash flows, and assume an approximate closure rate based on recent historical experience. At December 31, 2013, the fair value of the servicing rights was estimated as 1.00% of the loan balance for loans with terms of 180 months, and for loans with terms greater than 180 months, the fair value was estimated as 1.31% of the loan balance if the loan had an interest rate of 4.50% or lower and 1.08% of the loan balance if the loan had an interest rate higher than 4.50%. At December 31, 2012, the fair value of the servicing rights was estimated as 0.82% of the loan balance for loans with a term of 360 months and 0.84% of the loan balance for loans with a term of 180 months. A significant change in the closure rate may result in a significant change in the ending fair value measurement of these derivatives relative to their total fair value. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the estimated closure rate based on historical experience over the preceding two-year period was 77.1% and 72.1%, respectively. Because the closure rate and fair value of
105

servicing rights are significant unobservable assumptions, interest rate lock commitments are included in Level 3 of the hierarchy.
There were no liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2013 or 2012. The assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below:

A reconciliation and income statement classification of gains and losses for the assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 has not been provided since the amounts are not significant.
In accordance with ASC Topic 820, certain financial assets and financial liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; that is, the assets and liabilities are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment). Financial assets or liabilities required to be measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include impaired loans and mortgage servicing rights. Nonfinancial assets or liabilities required to be measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include other real estate owned.
Impaired loans (loans which are not expected to repay all principal and interest amounts due in accordance with the original contractual terms) are measured at an observable market price (if available) or at the fair value of the loan’s collateral (if collateral dependent). Fair value of the loan’s collateral is determined by appraisals or independent valuation which is then adjusted for the estimated costs related to liquidation of the collateral. Management’s ongoing review of appraisal information may result in additional discounts or adjustments to valuation based upon more recent market sales activity or more current appraisal information derived from properties of similar type and/or locale. A significant portion of the Company’s impaired loans are measured using the estimated fair market value of the collateral less the estimated costs to sell. Therefore, the Company has categorized its impaired loans as Level 3.

The following table presents impaired loans that were remeasured and reported at fair value through a specific reserve of the allowance for loan losses based upon the fair value of the underlying collateral during the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.

Fair Value | $ | 1,070 | $ | 703 |
Mortgage servicing rights are carried at the lower of amortized cost or estimated fair value. The estimated fair values of mortgage servicing rights are obtained through independent third-party valuations through an analysis of cash flows, incorporating estimates of assumptions market participants would use in determining fair value, including market discount rates, prepayment speeds, servicing income, servicing costs, default rates and other market-driven data, including the market’s perception of future interest rate movements and, as such, are classified as Level 3. At December 31, 2013 and 2012 the Company’s mortgage servicing rights were recorded at $1,473 and $1,009, respectively.
Non-financial assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis are limited to other real estate owned. Other real estate owned is carried at fair value less estimated selling costs (as determined by independent appraisal) within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. At the time of foreclosure, the value of the underlying loan is written down to the fair value of the real estate to be acquired by a charge to the allowance for loan losses, if necessary. The fair value is reviewed periodically and subsequent write downs are recorded accordingly.

ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments,” requires disclosure of the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities, including those financial assets and financial liabilities that are not measured and reported at fair value on a recurring basis or non-recurring basis.
The methodologies for estimating the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring or non-recurring basis are discussed above. The methodologies for the other financial assets and financial liabilities are discussed below:
Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents approximate fair values.
Accrued interest receivable and payable: The carrying amounts for accrued interest receivable and payable approximate fair values.
Other investments: The carrying amount for other investments, which consist primarily of Federal Home Loan Bank stock, approximates fair values.
Loans held for sale: The fair value of loans held for sale is based on quoted market prices in the secondary market for loans with similar characteristics.
108
OmniAmerican Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiary
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)
(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)
Loans: The estimated fair values for all fixed-rate loans are derived utilizing discounted cash flow analyses, the calculations of which are performed on groupings of loan receivables that are similar in terms of loan type and characteristics. The expected future cash flows of each grouping are discounted using the U.S. Treasury curve and current offering rates to calculate a discount spread to the curve. The estimated fair value for variable rate loans is the carrying amount. The impact of delinquent loans on the estimation of the fair values described above is not considered to have a material effect and, accordingly, delinquent loans have been disregarded in the valuation methodologies employed. Significant inputs to the fair value measurement of the loan portfolio are unobservable, and as such are classified as Level 3.
Deposits: The estimated fair value of demand deposit accounts is the carrying amount. The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates is estimated by discounting the estimated cash flows using the interest curve and current offering rates to calculate a discount spread to the curve.
Borrowed funds: The estimated fair value for borrowed funds is determined by discounting the estimated cash flows using the current rate at which similar borrowings would be made with similar ratings and maturities.
Off-balance sheet financial instruments: The fair values for the Company’s off-balance sheet commitments are estimated based on fees charged to others to enter into similar agreements taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and credit standing of the members. The estimated fair value of these commitments is not significant.
The carrying amount and estimated fair value of the Company’s financial instruments at December 31, 2013 and 2012 are summarized as follows:

NOTE 16 – Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk
The Company is a party to 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 loan commitments, standby letters of credit, and documentary letters of credit. The instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the financial statements.
The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the other party of these loan commitments and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.
Outstanding commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit are summarized as follows at December 31, 2013 and 2012:
December 31, | |||||||
2013 | 2012 | ||||||
Commitments to extend credit | $ | 108,285 | $ | 66,826 | |||
Standby letters of credit | 5,140 | 258 | |||||
$ | 113,425 | $ | 67,084 |
As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, commitments to fund fixed-rate loans of $15,647 and $10,178, respectively, were included in the outstanding commitments to extend credit. The interest rates on these commitments to fund fixed-rate loans ranged from 2.24% to 10.00% at December 31, 2013 and from 2.35% to 12.99% at December 31, 2012.
Loan commitments are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no customer violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers.
Since many of the loan commitments and letters of credit may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amount does not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, owner-occupied real estate, and income-producing commercial properties.

NOTE 18 – Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated in a manner similar to that of basic earnings per share except that the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding is increased to include the number of incremental common shares that would have been outstanding if all potentially dilutive common stock equivalents (such as stock options or unvested restricted stock) were issued during the period, as well as any adjustments to income that would result from the assumed issuance.
Unallocated common shares held by the ESOP are shown as a reduction in stockholders’ equity and are not included in the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for either basic or diluted earnings per share calculations.
Earnings per share for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011 have been computed as follows:

ITEM 9A. Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the President and Chief Executive Officer and the Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of December 31, 2013. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s management, including the President and Chief Executive Officer and the Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
(b) Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining an effective system of internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed under the supervision of the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer and Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. There are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any system of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of human error and circumvention or overriding of controls. Accordingly, even an effective system of internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risks that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013 based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in “Internal Control—Integrated Framework,” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) of the Treadway Commission. Based on the assessment, management believes that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based on those criteria.
KPMG, the independent registered public accounting firm that audited the consolidated financial statements of the Company included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, has issued an attestation report on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013. The attestation report of KPMG appears below.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
OmniAmerican Bancorp, Inc.:
We have audited OmniAmerican Bancorp, Inc.’s (the Company) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of OmniAmerican Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiary as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income (loss), changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, and our report dated March 7, 2014 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

(c) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
