NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING POLICIES

Nature of Operations

Century Next Financial Corporation (the “Company”), a Louisiana corporation, was organized by Bank of Ruston (the “Bank”) in June 2010 to facilitate the conversion of the Bank from the mutual to the stock form (the “Conversion”) of ownership. A total of 1,058,000 shares of common stock of the Company were sold at $10 per share in the subscription offering through which the Company received net proceeds of approximately $9.8 million, net of offering costs of approximately $748,000. The Conversion and offering were completed on September 30, 2010. The Company was organized as a savings and loan holding company and is regulated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve Board”).

The Bank provides a variety of financial services primarily to individual customers through its main office and one branch in Ruston, Louisiana. The Bank’s primary deposit products are checking accounts, money market accounts, interest bearing savings and certificates of deposit. Its primary lending products are residential mortgage loans. The Bank provides services to customers in the Ruston and surrounding areas.

The Company’s operations are subject to customary business risks associated with activities of a financial institution holding company. Some of those risks include competition from other financial institutions and changes in economic conditions, interest rates and regulatory requirements.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X and do not include information or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements have been included. The results of operations for the three-and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012, are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2012.

The Company follows accounting standards set by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”). The FASB sets generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) that we follow to ensure we consistently report our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. References to GAAP issued by the FASB in these footnotes are to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification” or the “ASC”).

In accordance with the subsequent events topic of the ASC, the Company evaluates events and transactions that occur after the balance sheet date for potential recognition in the financial statements. The effects of all subsequent events that provide additional evidence of conditions that existed at the balance sheet date are recognized in the financial statements as of September 30, 2012. In preparing these financial statements, the Company evaluated the events and transactions that occurred from September 30, 2012 through the date these financial statements were issued.

Use of Estimates

In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, and the valuation of foreclosed real estate, deferred tax assets and trading activities.

In connection with the determination of the allowances for losses on credits and foreclosed real estate, management obtains independent appraisals for significant properties. While management uses available information to recognize losses on credits, future additions to the allowances may be necessary based on changes in local economic conditions. In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Bank’s allowances for losses on loans. Such agencies may require the Bank to recognize additions to the allowances based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination. Because of these factors, it is reasonably possible that the allowances for credit losses on loans may change materially in the future.

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified for comparative purposes in conformance with the presentation in the current year financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”)

In July 2012, the SEC issued the “Work Plan for Consideration of Incorporating IFRS into the Financial Reporting System for U.S. Issuers.” This report was prepared by the staff of the SEC to summarize the observations and analyses of the staff regarding six key areas identified for study in the Work Plan in February 2010. At that time, the SEC issued a statement indicating that the information obtained through the Work Plan, among other considerations, would aid the SEC in evaluating the implications of incorporating IFRS into the financial reporting system for U.S. Issuers. IFRS is a comprehensive series of accounting standards published by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). The SEC stated in the Work Plan that the publication does not imply-and should not be construed to imply-that the SEC has made any policy decision as to whether IFRS should be incorporated into the financial reporting system for U.S. issuers nor how any such incorporation should be implemented. In November 2008, the SEC issued a proposed rule entitled “Roadmap for the Potential Use of Financial Statements Prepared in Accordance with IFRS by U.S. Issuers. Under this proposed rule, the Company may be required to prepare financial statements in accordance with IFRS as early as 2014. The SEC may make a determination in late 2012 or early 2013 regarding the mandatory adoption of IFRS. The Company is currently assessing the impact that this potential change would have on its operating results and financial condition, and will continue to monitor the development of the potential implementation of IFRS.

Accounting Standards Updates

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement. ASU 2011-04 amends the fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in order to gain consistency between the generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and the International Financial Reporting Standards. The effective date for ASU 2011-04 is for the first interim and annual period beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of ASU 2011-04 did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or disclosures.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income. ASU 2011-05 requires entities to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate consecutive statements. The effective date for ASU 2011-05 is for annual and interim period beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of ASU 2011-05 did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-09, Compensation – Retirement Benefits – Multi-employer Plans. ASU 2011-09 requires entities to provide additional separate disclosures for multi-employer pension plans and multi-employer other post-retirement benefit plans. This update is intended to provide users with more detailed information about an employer’s involvement in multi-employer pension plans. The effective date for ASU 2011-09 is for annual periods for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2011. The Company included the required disclosures in the notes to the audited financial statements in Form 10-K for December 31, 2011. The adoption of this accounting standards update did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or disclosures.

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11, Balance Sheet, Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. ASU 2011-11 requires an entity 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. The effective date for ASU 2011-11 is for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. The adoption of ASU 2011-11 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or disclosures.

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-12, Comprehensive Income, Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05. ASU 2011-12 defers certain changes in ASU 2011-05 relating to the presentation of reclassification adjustments. The effective date for ASU 2011-12 is for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011.

In June 2012, the FASB issued Exposure Draft 2012-200, Financial Instruments (Topic 825), Disclosures about Liquidity Risk and Interest Rate Risk. The proposed ASU would require financial institutions to include liquidity risk tabular disclosure of the carrying amounts of classes of financial assets and liabilities segregated by their expected maturities, including off-balance sheet financial commitments and obligations. In addition, interest rate risk disclosures would provide information about the exposure of the entity’s financial assets and liabilities to fluctuations in market interest rates. The proposed ASU does not include a proposed effective date.

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment on at least a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. Consideration is given to:

the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost,

the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and

the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

Market changes in interest rates and credit spreads will cause normal fluctuations in the market value of securities and the possibility of temporary unrealized losses. The Company has determined that there was no other-than-temporary impairment associated with these securities at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

NOTE 4 – ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES AND CREDIT QUALITY

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision charged to earnings. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management determines that the collection of the loan balance outstanding is unlikely. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. Allowances for impaired loans are generally determined based on collateral values or the present value of estimated cash flows. Changes in the allowance related to impaired loans are charged or credited to the provision for loan losses.

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level which, in management’s opinion, is adequate to absorb credit losses inherent in the portfolio. The Company utilizes an historical analysis of the Company’s portfolio to validate the overall adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. In addition to these objective criteria, the Company subjectively assesses the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses with consideration given to current economic conditions, changes to loan policies, concentrations of credit, the level of classified and criticized credits, and other factors.

A summary of changes in the allowance for loan losses is as follows:


	September 30,			December 31,
(In thousands)	2012			2011
Beginning balance	$	245		$	204
Provision for loan losses		90			56

At September 30, 2012, the Company had no allowance for loan losses disaggregated by impairment method.

Credit Quality

Loans are categorized into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt, such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. The following definitions are utilized for risk ratings, which are consistent with the definitions used in supervisory guidance:

Special Mention – Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution’s credit position at some future date.

Substandard – Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidations of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful – Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values highly questionable and improbable.

Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above described process are considered to be pass-rated loans.

The table below illustrates the carrying amount of loans by credit quality indicator at September 30, 2012:

			Special
(In thousands)	Pass		Mention		Substandard		Doubtful		Loss		Total

Totals for all loans	$	88,212	$	412	$	346	$	-	$	-	$	88,970

Interest income on impaired loans, other than non-accrual loans, is recognized on an accrual basis. Interest income on non-accrual loans is recognized only as collected. During 2012, there was no interest income recognized on non-accrual loans. If the non-accrual loans had been accruing interest at their original contracted rates, related income would have been $4,000.

Below is a summary of current, past due, and non-accrual loans at September 30, 2012:

NOTE 8 - DISCLOSURES ABOUT FAIR VALUE OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

Accounting standards in the United States of America establish a framework for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities, and define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) as opposed to the price that would be paid to acquire the asset or received to assume the liability (an entry price).

Under these standards, a fair value measure should reflect the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including the assumptions about the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique, the effect of a restriction on the sale or use of an asset, and the risk of nonperformance. Required disclosures stratify balance sheet accounts measured at fair value based on inputs the Bank uses to derive fair value measurements. These strata include:

●

Level 1 valuations, where the valuation is based on quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities traded in active markets (which include exchanges and over-the-counter markets with sufficient volume).

●

Level 2 valuations, where the valuation is based on quoted market prices for similar instruments traded in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.

●

Level 3 valuations, where the valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use significant assumptions not observable in the market, but observable based on Bank-specific data. These unobservable assumptions reflect the Bank’s own estimates for assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques typically include option pricing models, discounted cash flow models, and similar techniques, but may also include the use of market prices of assets or liabilities that are not directly comparable to the subject asset or liability.

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

For the Bank, the only items recorded at fair value on a recurring basis are securities available for sale. These securities consist primarily of mortgage-backed (including Agency) securities. When available, the Bank uses quoted market prices of identical assets on active exchanges (Level 1 measurements). Where such quoted market prices are not available, the Bank typically employs quoted market prices of similar instruments (including matrix pricing) and/or discounted cash flows to estimate a value of these securities (Level 2 measurements). Level 3 measurements include discounted cash flow analyses based on assumptions that are not readily observable in the market place, including projections of future cash flows, loss assumptions, and discount rates.

Fair values of assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis at the respective dates are as follows:

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis

From time to time, certain assets may be recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis, typically as a result of the application of lower of cost or fair value accounting or a write-down occurring during the period. The only item recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis is foreclosed real estate, which is recorded at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Fair value is determined by reference to appraisals (performed either by the Bank or by independent appraisers) on the subject property, using market prices of similar real estate assets (Level 2 measurements). The Bank held no foreclosed real estate at September 30, 2012.

NOTE 9 - STOCK-BASED BENEFIT PLANS

The Company has three stock-based benefit plans for which compensation expense is recognized. These are the 2010 Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), the 2011 Recognition and Retention Plan (RRP), and the 2011 Stock Option Plan (SOP). Under the ESOP, compensation expense recognized is based on the average fair value of shares committed to be released over the interim reporting period. Under the RRP, compensation expense is based on the fair value of the shares determined at the date of grant and is recognized each interim reporting period as the shares vest. Compensation expense under the SOP is based on the fair value of the options granted determined at the date of grant and is also recognized each interim reporting period as the options vest. The fair value of the options is calculated by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model which assumes that the option exercises occur at the end of the expected term of the option.

The following table represents the compensation expense recognized by the Company for the respective six-month periods ended:

	September 30,
(In thousands)	2012		2011

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The purpose of this discussion and analysis is to focus on significant changes in the financial condition of Century Next Financial Corporation (the “Company”) from December 31, 2011 to September 30, 2012 and on its results of operations during the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011. This discussion and analysis is intended to highlight and supplement information presented elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, particularly the financial statements and related notes appearing in Item 1.

To the extent that statements in this Form 10-Q relate to future plans, objectives, financial results or performance of the Company, these statements are deemed to be forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements, which are based on management’s current information, estimates and assumptions and the current economic environment, are generally identified by the use of the words “plan”, “believe”, “expect”, “intend”, “anticipate”, “estimate”, “project” or similar expressions. The Company’s actual strategies and results in future periods may differ materially from those currently expected due to various risks and uncertainties.

General

The Company was formed by the Bank in June 2010, in connection with the Bank’s conversion from a mutual to a stock form savings bank (the “Conversion”) completed on September 30, 2010. The Company’s results of operations are primarily dependent on the results of the Bank, which became a wholly owned subsidiary upon completion of the Conversion. The Bank’s results of operations depend, to a large extent, on net interest income, which is the difference between the income earned on its loan and investment portfolios and the cost of funds, consisting of the interest paid on deposits and borrowings. Results of operations are also affected by provisions for loan losses, fee income and other non-interest income and non-interest expense. Non-interest expense principally consists of compensation and employee benefits, office occupancy and equipment expense, data processing, advertising and business promotion and other expense. The Bank’s results of operations are also significantly affected by general economic and competitive conditions, particularly changes in interest rates, government policies and actions of regulatory authorities. Future changes in applicable law, regulations or government policies may materially impact our financial condition and results of operations.

Critical Accounting Policies

In reviewing and understanding financial information for the Company, you are encouraged to read and understand the significant accounting policies used in preparing our financial statements. These policies are described in Note 1 of the notes to our financial statements. The accounting and financial reporting policies of the Company conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and to general practices within the banking industry. Accordingly, the financial statements require certain estimates, judgments, and assumptions, which are believed to be reasonable, based upon the information available. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the periods presented. The following accounting policies comprise those that management believes are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results. These policies require numerous estimates or economic assumptions that may prove inaccurate or may be subject to variations which may significantly affect our reported results and financial condition for the period or in future periods.

Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level to provide for probable credit losses related to specifically identified loans and for losses inherent in the loan portfolio that have been incurred as of the balance sheet date. The allowance for loan losses is comprised of specific allowances and a general allowance. Specific provisions are assessed for each loan that is reviewed for impairment or for which a probable loss has been identified. The allowance related to loans that are identified as impaired is based on discounted expected future cash flows using the loan’s initial effective interest rate, the observable market value of the loan, or the estimated fair value of the collateral for certain collateral dependent loans. Factors contributing to the determination of specific provisions include the financial condition of the borrower, changes in the value of pledged collateral and general economic conditions. General allowances are established based on historical charge-offs considering factors that include risk rating, concentrations and loan type. For the general allowance, management also considers trends in delinquencies and non-accrual loans, concentrations, volatility of risk ratings and the evolving mix in terms of collateral, relative loan size and the degree of seasoning within the various loan products.

Our allowance levels may be impacted by changes in underwriting standards, credit administration and collection policies, regulation and other factors which affect the credit quality and collectability of the loan portfolio also impact the allowance levels. The allowance for loan losses is based on management’s estimate of probable credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio; actual credit losses may vary from the current estimate. The allowance for loan losses is reviewed periodically, taking into consideration the risk characteristics of the loan portfolio, past charge-off experience, general economic conditions and other factors that warrant current recognition. As adjustments to the allowance for loan losses become necessary, they are reflected as a provision for loan losses in current-period earnings. Actual loan charge-offs are deducted from and subsequent recoveries of previously charged-off loans are added to the allowance.

Other-Than-Temporary Impairment. We review our investment portfolio on a quarterly basis for indications of impairment. This review includes analyzing the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been lower than the cost, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer including any specific events that may influence the operations of the issuer, and the intent and ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in the market. Inherent in this analysis is a certain amount of imprecision in the judgment used by management.

We recognize credit-related other-than-temporary impairment on debt securities in earnings while noncredit-related other-than-temporary impairment on debt securities not expected to be sold is recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income. We assess whether the credit loss existed by considering whether (a) we have the intent to sell the security, (b) it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security before recovery, or (c) we do not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security. We may bifurcate the other-than-temporary impairment on securities not expected to be sold or where the entire amortized cost of the security is not expected to be recovered into the components representing credit loss and the component representing loss related to other factors. The portion of the fair value decline attributable to credit loss is recognized through earnings.

Corporate debt securities are evaluated for other-than-temporary impairment by determining whether it is probable that an adverse change in estimated cash flows has occurred. Determining whether there has been an adverse change in estimated cash flows involves the calculation of the present value of remaining cash flows compared to previously projected cash flows. We consider the discounted cash flow analysis to be our primary evidence when determining whether credit-related other-than-temporary impairment exists on corporate debt securities.

Income Taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined using the liability (or balance sheet) method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the tax effects of the temporary differences between the book and tax bases of the various assets and liabilities and gives current recognition to changes in tax rates and laws. Realizing our deferred tax assets principally depends upon our achieving projected future taxable income. We may change our judgments regarding future profitability due to future market conditions and other factors. We may adjust our deferred tax asset balances if our judgments change.

Financial Overview

Comparison of Financial Condition at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011

The Company’s total assets increased by $3.3 million or 3.0% to $110.7 million at September 30, 2012 compared to $107.4 million at December 31, 2011. The increase in assets was primarily a result of an increase in cash and cash equivalents of $1.4 million and an increase in net loans of $2.0 million.

Cash and cash equivalents increased $1.4 million or 26.0% to $6.6 million at September 30, 2012 compared to $5.2 million at December 31, 2011 primarily from funds received from growth in customer deposits of $4.7 million, sales, maturities, and other payments of investment securities of $20,000, and a redemption of Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) Stock of $221,000 partially offset by the repayment of FHLB advances of $2.1 million, the outflow of funds from an increase in net loans of $2.0 million, and increase in all other asset and liabilities of $841,000.

Total debt securities decreased from $7.07 million at December 31, 2011 to $7.05 million at September 30, 2012. The net decrease of $20,000 or 0.28% was the result of sales and maturities of securities of $3.22 million and scheduled payments, net premium amortization, and the change in fair value of $567,000 partially offset by $3.76 million in purchases for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012.

Total loans, net of unearned income, increased over the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012 by $2.1 million or 2.5% compared to December 31, 2011. Total loans, net of unearned income, at September 30, 2012 were $89.0 million compared to $86.8 million at December 31, 2011. Of the net increase, commercial real estate loans increased $2.7 million, loans secured by 1-4 family residential increased $1.5 million, multi-family real estate loans increased $392,000, non-real estate commercial loans increased $235,000, and home equity lines of credit increased $9,000. This was partially offset by decreases in residential construction loans of $1.1 million, loans secured by 1-4 family residential held for sale of $850,000, consumer loans, not secured by real estate, of $753,000, and land loans of $27,000.

The allowance for loan losses increased from $245,000 at December 31, 2011 to $347,000 at September 30, 2012, an increase of $102,000 or 41.6%. The net increase for the nine-month period consisted of $90,000 in provision for possible loan losses and $12,000 from net recoveries of loan balances charged off in prior years.

Total deposits at September 30, 2012 increased $4.7 million or 5.6% to $88.7 million compared to $83.9 million at December 31, 2011. The net increase consisted of a $2.6 million increase in savings deposits, a $2.1 million increase in noninterest-bearing demand deposits, and a $1.3 million increase in time deposits partially offset by a $1.2 million decrease in money market deposits and a $139,000 decrease in interest-bearing demand deposits.

Total borrowings, primarily consisting of Federal Home Loan Bank advances, decreased to $1.8 million at September 30, 2012 from $3.9 million at December 31, 2011, a decrease of $2.1 million or 54.6%.

Total Stockholders’ Equity increased by $447,000 or 2.4% to $19.2 million at September 30, 2012 compared to $18.8 million at December 31, 2011. The increase for the nine-month period primarily resulted from net income of $497,000, an increase in additional paid in capital of $179,000 from equity compensation, and the release of shares for the employee stock ownership plan of $25,000, offset by decreases of $213,000 from the purchase of common stock for the recognition and retention plan, $29,000 from the purchase of treasury stock, and $12,000 in accumulated other comprehensive income.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012 and 2011

Our net income was $234,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012. This was a $30,000 or 14.7% increase over net income of $204,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, our net income was $497,000, an increase of $5,000 or 1.0%, over net income of $492,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Our total interest income was $1.38 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, compared to $1.34 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, a $40,000 or 3.0% increase. The increase in interest income in the three-month period ended September 30, 2012 over the comparable period in 2011 was due primarily to an increase in the average balances of our interest-earnings assets, particularly loans, amounting to an increase of $139,000 in interest income. This increase was offset by a decrease in the average rate earned on earning assets of 40 basis points to 5.37% for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 compared to 5.77% for the quarter ended September 30, 2011, amounting to a decrease in interest income of $99,000.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, interest income was $4.02 million compared to $3.78 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. This was an increase of $237,000, or 6.3% for the year-to-date period comparison. The increase in interest income in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012 over the comparable period in 2011 was due primarily to an increase in the average balances of our interest-earnings assets, particularly loans, amounting to an increase of $498,000 in interest income. This increase was offset by a decrease in the average rate earned on earning assets of 34 basis points to 5.32% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to 5.66% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, amounting to a decrease in interest income of $261,000.

Our total interest expense was $159,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012. This was a decrease of $43,000, or 21.3%, compared to $202,000 of interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The average rate paid on our interest-bearing liabilities decreased by 29 basis points to 0.78% for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 compared to 1.07% for the quarter ended September 30, 2011. This reduction in rate resulted in a decrease in interest expense of $57,000 for the comparative quarters. The decrease in rate was primarily due to reductions in the average rate paid on savings/money market deposits of 50 basis points, other borrowings of 24 basis points, time deposits of 19 basis points, and interest-bearing checking of 17 basis points. The increase in the average balances of our interest-bearing liabilities resulted in an increase of interest expense of $14,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2011.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, our total interest expense was $499,000. This was a decrease of $98,000, or 16.4%, compared to $597,000 of interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The average rate paid on our interest-bearing liabilities decreased by 27 basis points to 0.83% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012 compared to 1.10% for the nine-month period ending September 30, 2011. This reduction in rate resulted in a decrease in interest expense of $162,000 for the comparative nine-month periods. The decrease in rate was primarily due to reductions in the average rate paid on other borrowings of 88 basis points, savings/money market deposits of 41 basis points, time deposits of 22 basis points, and interest-bearing checking of 13 basis points. The increase in the average balances of our interest-bearing liabilities resulted in an increase of interest expense of $64,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Our net interest income was $1.22 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 compared to $1.14 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2011. This was an increase of $83,000, or 7.3%. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012, net interest income was $3.52 million, which represents a $335,000, or 10.5% increase over the $3.18 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011. Our average interest rate spread decreased by 11 basis points to 4.59% for the three months ended September 30, 2012 over the second quarter of 2011, and our net interest margin decreased 15 basis points to 4.75% in the second quarter of 2012 compared to the second quarter of 2011. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, our average interest spread was 4.49% and our net interest margin was 4.66%, compared to 4.56% and 4.76%, respectively, for the first nine months of 2011.

Our provision for loan losses amounted to $30,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2012, compared to $18,000 in provision for the quarter ended September 30, 2011. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012, the provision for loan losses was $90,000 compared to $31,000 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011. The increase in loan loss provision for the quarter and year-to-date periods in 2012 compared to 2011 was primarily due to a more conservative approach in assumptions for economic conditions, credit quality trends, and other qualitative factors as well as the general increase in commercial loans which may have a higher risk of loss.

Our loans, net of unearned income, increased by $2.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 from December 31, 2011, which included $70.9 million in loan originations, offset by sales of $28.5 million and repayments of loans of $40.2 million. At September 30, 2012, our allowance for loan losses amounted to $347,000, or 0.39% of loans, net of unearned loan fees compared to $245,000, or 0.28% of loans, net of unearned loan fees, at December 31, 2011. Our total non-performing loans, including loans past due 90 days or more and non-accrual loans, amounted to $348,000 at September 30, 2012, compared to $460,000 at December 31, 2011. At September 30, 2012, our allowance for loan losses amounted to 99.71% of total non-performing loans compared to 53.26% of total non-performing loans at December 31, 2011. There were $1,000 of loans charged-off during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, and recoveries amounted to $13,000.

Our total non-interest income amounted to $341,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 compared to $250,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2011, an increase of $91,000 or 36.4%. The increase during the three-month period ended September 30, 2012 consisted primarily of increases in loan servicing fees of $58,000, service charges on deposits of $28,000, and other non-interest income and gain on sale of fixed assets of $17,000 and $1,000, respectively. The increase was offset by an increase in the loss on sale of loans of $8,000 and a decrease in the gain on sale of available-for-sale securities of $5,000.

For the nine-month period ending September 30, 2012, total non-interest income was $867,000 compared to $765,000 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011, an increase of $102,000 or 13.3%. The increase consisted primarily of increases in loan servicing fees of $174,000, service charges on deposit accounts of $52,000, and other non-interest income of $59,000. The increase was partially offset by an increase in loss on the sale of loans of $44,000 and decreases in gain on sale of fixed assets and foreclosed assets of $135,000 and $4,000, respectively.

Our total non-interest expense increased by $137,000 or 12.8% to $1.21 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, compared to $1.07 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The primary reasons for the increase in non-interest expense were increases in salaries and benefits of $59,000, occupancy and equipment expense of $39,000, directors’ expense of $31,000, other operating expense of $30,000, audit and examination fees of $19,000, FDIC deposit insurance of $4,000, and data processing of $2,000. The increases for the quarter were partially offset by decreases in legal and professional fees of $36,000 and office supplies of $11,000. For the comparative periods, the increase in salaries and benefits was due mainly to normal salary increases and new staff additions, the increase in audit and examination fees included increases in internal audit services and regulatory examination fees, the increase in occupancy and equipment expense consists mainly of depreciation on new equipment, and the increase in directors’ expense was due primarily to stock compensation expense compared to the same quarter of 2011.

For the nine-month period ending September 30, 2012, total non-interest expense increased by $392,000 or 12.3% to $3.58 million compared to $3.18 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2011. The primary reasons for the increase in non-interest expense were increases in salaries and benefits of $284,000, occupancy and equipment expense of $85,000, directors’ expense of $79,000, audit and examination fees of $35,000, data processing of $18,000, advertising of $8,000, and other operating expense of $1,000. The increases for the nine-month period were offset by decreases in legal and professional fees of $80,000, office supplies of $26,000, and FDIC deposit insurance of $8,000 and expense of foreclosed assets of $4,000. For the comparative periods, the increase in salaries and benefits was due mainly to normal salary increases and new staff additions, the increase in occupancy and equipment expense consists mainly of depreciation on new equipment, the increase in directors’ expense was due primarily to stock compensation expense, and the increase in audit and examination fees included an increase in internal audit services compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

At September 30, 2012 and 2011, we had 37 and 33 full-time equivalent employees, respectively.

Income tax expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 amounted to $90,000, a decrease of $5,000 compared to $95,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 resulting in effective tax rates of 27.8% and 31.8%, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, income tax expense amounted to $223,000 compared to $242,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, a decrease of $19,000 resulting in effective tax rates for the comparative nine month periods of 31.0% and 33.0%, respectively.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income, the difference between interest earned on loans and investments and interest paid on deposits and other borrowings, is the principal component of our earnings. The following table provides a summary of average earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities as well as the income or expense attributable to each item for the periods indicated.

Average Balances, Net Interest Income, and Yields Earned and Rates Paid. The following tables show for the periods indicated the total dollar amount of interest from average interest-earning assets and the resulting yields, as well as the interest expense on average interest-bearing liabilities, expressed both in dollars and rates, and the net interest margin. Tax-exempt income and yields have not been adjusted to a tax-equivalent basis. All average balances are based on monthly balances. Management does not believe that the monthly averages differ significantly from what the daily averages would be.

Asset Quality

“Classified loans” are the loans and other credit facilities that we consider to be of the greatest risk to us and, therefore, they receive the highest level of attention by our account officers and senior credit management. Classified loans include both performing and nonperforming loans. During the first quarter of 2012, the Company continued to closely monitor all of its more significant loans, including all loans previously classified.

At September 30, 2012, the Company had $758,000 in classified loans compared to $831,000 at December 31, 2011. Of these loans, at September 30, 2012, $626,000 were accruing loans and $132,000 were non-accruing loans. Total loans included in classified loans at September 30, 2012 that were evaluated for impairment was $132,000 compared to $15,000 evaluated for impairment and included in classified loans at December 31, 2011. A loan “impairment” is a classification required under generally accepted accounting principles when it is considered probable that we may be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of our loan agreement. Non-performing loans include loans past due 90 days or more that are still accruing interest and nonaccrual loans. At September 30, 2012, we had $348,000 in non-performing loans. This compares to $460,000 in non-performing loans at December 31, 2011. Non-performing loans as a percentage of total loans at September 30, 2012 were 0.39% as compared to 0.53% at December 31, 2011. There were no foreclosed assets at September 30, 2012 compared to $9,000 at December 31, 2011.

The Company charged off $1,000 of loan balances determined to be uncollectible during the quarter ended September 30, 2012 and had no recoveries of loan balances previously charged off. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012, charge offs of loan balances totaled $1,000 and recoveries of loan balances previously charged off totaled $13,000.

Provision for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings as losses are estimated to have occurred in our loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level to provide for probable credit losses related to specifically identified loans and for losses inherent in the loan portfolio that have been incurred as of the balance sheet date. The allowance for loan losses is comprised of specific allowances and a general allowance.

Specific provisions are assessed for each loan that is reviewed for impairment or for which a probable loss has been identified. The allowance related to loans that are identified as impaired is based on discounted expected future cash flows using the loan’s initial effective interest rate, the observable market value of the loan, or the estimated fair value of the collateral for certain collateral dependent loans. Factors contributing to the determination of specific provisions include the financial condition of the borrower, changes in the value of pledged collateral and general economic conditions. General allowances are established based on historical charge-offs considering factors that include risk rating, concentrations and loan type. For the general allowance, management also considers trends in delinquencies and non-accrual loans, concentrations, volatility of risk ratings and the evolving mix in terms of collateral, relative loan size and the degree of seasoning within the various loan products.

Changes in underwriting standards, credit administration and collection policies, regulation and other factors which affect the credit quality and collectability of the loan portfolio also impact the allowance levels. The allowance for loan losses is based on management’s estimate of probable credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio; actual credit losses may vary from the current estimate. The allowance for loan losses is reviewed periodically, taking into consideration the risk characteristics of the loan portfolio, past charge-off experience, general economic conditions and other factors that warrant current recognition. As adjustments to the allowance for loan losses become necessary, they are reflected as a provision for loan losses in current-period earnings. Actual loan charge-offs are deducted from and subsequent recoveries of previously charged-off loans are added to the allowance.

During the three months ended September 30, 2012, we made a provision of $30,000 compared to $18,000 in provision for the three months ended September 30, 2011. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, total provisions were $90,000 compared to $31,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. At September 30, 2012, the Company had $348,000 of non-performing loans compared to $34,000 at September 30, 2011. To the best of management’s knowledge, the allowance is maintained at a level believed to cover all known and inherent losses in the loan portfolio, both probable and reasonable to estimate.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company maintains levels of liquid assets deemed adequate by management. The Company adjusts its liquidity levels to fund deposit outflows, repay its borrowings and to fund loan commitments. The Company also adjusts liquidity as appropriate to meet asset and liability management objectives.

The Company’s primary sources of funds are deposits, loan payments, and to a lesser extent, funds provided from operations. While scheduled payments on loans are a relatively predictable source of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. The Company sets the interest rates on its deposits to maintain a desired level of total deposits. In addition, the Company invests excess funds in short-term interest-earning accounts, if greater liquidity needs are expected in the near term, and medium- to longer-term investments if liquidity is expected to be in excess of needs for an extended period of time. Excess liquidity assists in providing availability of funds to meet lending requirements and additional demand from deposit accounts as the need arises. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents amounted to $6.6 million at September 30, 2012.

A significant portion of the Company’s liquidity consists of non-interest earning deposits. The Company’s primary sources of cash are payments on loans and increases in deposit accounts. If the Company requires funds beyond its ability to generate them internally, borrowing agreements exist with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas, which provide an additional source of funds. At September 30, 2012, the Company had long-term advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas in the amount of $350,000 and had $38.4 million in additional borrowing capacity available. Additionally, at September 30, 2012, Bank of Ruston was a party to a Master Purchase Agreement with First National Bankers Bank whereby Bank of Ruston may purchase Federal Funds from First National Bankers Bank in an amount not to exceed $5.4 million. There were no amounts purchased under this agreement as of September 30, 2012.

At September 30, 2012, the Company had outstanding loan commitments of $3.9 million to originate loans and $6.1 million of unfunded commitments under lines of credit. At September 30, 2012, certificates of deposit, excluding IRAs, scheduled to mature in less than one year totaled $23.2 million. Based on prior experience, management believes that a significant portion of such deposits will remain with us, although there can be no assurance that this will be the case. In addition, in a rising interest rate environment, the cost of such deposits could be significantly higher upon renewal. The Company intends to utilize its liquidity to fund its lending activities.

The Bank is required to maintain regulatory capital sufficient to meet tier-1 leverage, tier-1 risk-based and total risk-based capital ratios of at least 4.0%, 4.0% and 8.0%, respectively. At September 30, 2012, the Bank exceeded each of its capital requirements with ratios of 14.44%, 17.62% and 17.65%, respectively.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

The financial statements and related financial data presented herein regarding the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which generally require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars, without considering changes in relative purchasing power over time due to inflation. Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all of the Company’s assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates generally have a more significant impact on the Company’s performance than does the effect of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or in the same magnitude as the prices of goods and services, since such prices are affected by inflation to a larger extent than interest rates.
