HOME FEDERAL BANCORP, INC. OF LOUISIANA
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Home Federal Bancorp, Inc. of Louisiana (the “Company”) and its subsidiary, Home Federal Bank (“Home Federal Bank” or the “Bank”). These 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 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 nine month period ended March 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2020.
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 effect 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 March 31, 2020. In preparing these financial statements, the Company evaluated the events and transactions that occurred through the date these financial statements were issued.
Use of Estimates
In preparing consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition 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 allowance for loan losses.
Nature of Operations
Home Federal Bancorp, Inc. of Louisiana, a Louisiana corporation, is the fully public stock holding company for Home Federal Bank located in Shreveport, Louisiana.

Securities
The Company classifies its debt and equity investment securities into one of three categories: held-to-maturity, available-for-sale, or trading. Investments in nonmarketable equity securities and debt securities, in which the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity, are classified as held-to-maturity and carried at amortized cost. Investments in debt securities that are not classified as held-to-maturity and marketable equity securities that have readily determinable fair values are classified as either trading or available-for-sale securities. Securities that are acquired and held principally for the purpose of selling in the near term are classified as trading securities. Investments in debt securities not classified as trading or held-to-maturity are classified as available-for-sale.
Trading account and available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value. Unrealized holding gains and losses on trading securities are included in earnings, while net unrealized holding gains and losses on available-for-sale debt securities are excluded from earnings and reported in other comprehensive income. Purchase premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the term of the securities. Declines in the fair value of held-to-maturity and available-for-sale securities below their cost that are deemed to be other than temporary are reflected in earnings as realized losses. In estimating other-than-temporary impairment losses, management considers (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the Bank to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. Gains and losses on the sale of securities are recorded on the trade date and are determined using the specific identification method.
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.
Loans
Loans receivable are stated as unpaid principal balances less allowances for loan losses and unamortized deferred loan fees. Net nonrefundable fees (loan origination fees, commitment fees, discount points) and costs associated with lending activities are being deferred and subsequently amortized into income as an adjustment of yield on the related interest earning assets using the interest method. Interest income on contractual loans receivable is recognized on the accrual method. Unearned discount on property improvement and automobile loans is deferred and amortized on the interest method over the life of the loan.
Allowance for Loan Losses
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 the underlying collateral, and prevailing economic conditions. The evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

Allowance for Loan Losses (continued)
A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information or events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal and interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. When a loan is impaired, the measurement of such impairment is based upon the fair value of the collateral of the loan. If the fair value of the collateral is less than the recorded investment in the loan, the Bank will recognize the impairment by creating a valuation allowance with a corresponding charge against earnings. A loan is considered a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) if the Company, for economic or legal reasons related to a debtor’s financial difficulties, grants a concession to the debtor that it would not otherwise consider. Concessions granted under a TDR typically involve a temporary or permanent reduction in payments or interest rate or an extension of a loan’s stated maturity date at less than a current market rate of interest. Loans identified as TDRs are designated as impaired.
An allowance is also established for uncollectible interest on loans classified as substandard. The allowance is established by a charge to interest income equal to all interest previously accrued and income is subsequently recognized only to the extent that cash payments are received. When, in management’s judgment, the borrower’s ability to make periodic interest and principal payments is back to normal, the loan is returned to accrual status.
It should be understood that estimates of future loan losses involve an exercise of judgment. While it is possible that in particular periods the Company may sustain losses which are substantial relative to the allowance for loan losses, it is the judgment of management that the allowance for loan losses reflected in the accompanying statements of condition is adequate to absorb known and inherent losses in the existing loan portfolio both probable and reasonable to estimate.
Off-Balance Sheet Credit Related Financial Instruments
In the ordinary course of business, the Bank has entered into commitments to extend credit. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded.
Foreclosed Assets
Assets acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are held-for-sale and are transferred to other real estate owned at the lower of cost or current fair value minus estimated cost to sell as of the date of foreclosure. Cost is defined as the lower of the fair value of the property or the recorded investment in the loan. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management and the assets are carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.
Premises and Equipment
Land is carried at cost. Buildings and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Estimated useful lives are as follows:
Buildings and Improvements | 10 - 40 Years | |
Furniture and Equipment | 3 - 10 Years |
Bank-Owned Life Insurance
The Company has purchased life insurance contracts on the lives of certain key employees. The Bank is the beneficiary of these policies. These contracts are reported at their cash surrender value, and changes in the cash surrender value are included in non-interest income.

Income Taxes
The Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary file a consolidated Federal income tax return on a fiscal year basis. Each entity pays its pro-rata share of income taxes in accordance with a written tax-sharing agreement.
The Company accounts for income taxes on the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the difference between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes, computed using enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets to the expected amount most likely to be realized. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of a sufficient level of future taxable income and recoverable taxes paid in prior years. Although realization is not assured, management believes it is more likely than not that all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. Current taxes are measured by applying the provisions of enacted tax laws to taxable income to determine the amount of taxes receivable or payable.
The Company follows the provisions of the Income Taxes Topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 740. ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and also provides guidance on various related matters such as derecognition, interest, penalties, and disclosures required. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.
While the Bank is exempt from Louisiana income tax, it is subject to the Louisiana Ad Valorem Tax, commonly referred to as the Louisiana Shares Tax, which is based on stockholders’ equity and net income.
Earnings per Share
Earnings per share are computed based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
Non-Direct Response Advertising
The Company expenses all advertising costs, except for direct-response advertising, as incurred. Non-direct response advertising costs were $257,000 and $232,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
In the event the Company incurs expense for material direct-response advertising, it will be amortized over the estimated benefit period. Direct-response advertising consists of advertising whose primary purpose is to elicit sales to customers who could be shown to have responded specifically to the advertising and results in probable future benefits. For the nine months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company did not incur any amount of direct-response advertising.
Stock-Based Compensation
GAAP requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, plan share awards and recognition and retention share awards, to be recognized as expense in the statement of operations based on their fair values. The amount of compensation is measured at the fair value of the options, plan share awards or recognition and retention share awards when granted, and this cost is expensed over the required service period, which is normally the vesting period of the options, plan share awards or recognition and retention awards.

Reclassification
Certain financial statement balances included in the prior year consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
Comprehensive Income
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains, and losses be included in net income. Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale debt securities, are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the consolidated balance sheets along with net income, they are components of comprehensive income (loss).
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments. The amendments in this Update supersede the guidance to classify equity securities with readily determinable fair values into different categories and require equity securities to be measured at fair value with changes in the fair value recognized through net income. The amendments allow equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values to be remeasured at fair value either upon the occurrence of an observable price change or upon identification of impairment. The amendments in this Update also simplify the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring assessment for impairment qualitatively at each reporting period. In addition, the amendments in this Update exempt all entities that are not public business entities from disclosing fair value information for financial instruments measured at amortized cost. In addition, for public business entities, the amendments supersede the requirement to disclose the methods and significant assumptions used in calculating the fair value of financial instruments required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet. The amendments in this Update require public business entities that are required to disclose fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet to measure that fair value using the exit price notion consistent with Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement. In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-03, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. The amendments in this Update include items brought to the FASB Board’s attention regarding ASU 2016-01.
The provisions within this Update require an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option. This amendment excludes from net income gains or losses that the entity may not realize because those financial liabilities are not usually transferred or settled at their fair values before maturity. The amendments in this Update require separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset (that is, securities or loans and receivables) on the balance sheet or in the accompanying notes to the financial statements.
For public business entities, the amendments in ASU 2016-01 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. From the lessee’s perspective, the new standard establishes a right-of-use (ROU) model that requires a lessee to record ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting pattern of expense recognition in the income statement for a lessee.
The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the consolidated financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The amendments in this Update replace the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. For public business entities that are SEC filers, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods with those fiscal years. The extent of the impact upon adoption is not known and will depend on the characteristics of the Company’s loan portfolio and economic conditions on that date as well as forecasted conditions thereafter.
In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-08, Receivables - Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20). This Update was issued in response to diversity in practice in the amortization period for premiums of callable debt securities and in how the potential for exercise of a call is factored into current impairment assessments. As such, these amendments reduce the amortization period for certain callable debt securities carried at a premium and require the premium to be amortized over the period not to exceed the earliest call date. These amendments do not apply to securities carried at a discount. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718). The amendments in this ASU provide guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in FASB ASC 718. The effective date of this Update is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In November 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-14, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Revenue Recognition (Topic 605), and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (SEC Update). This Update adds, amends, and supersedes SEC paragraphs of the ASC pursuant to Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 116 and SEC Release 33-10403. This ASU was effective upon issuance.
In May 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-06, Codification Improvements to Topic 942, Financial Services – Depository and Lending. The amendments in this Update supersede the guidance in Subtopic 942-740, Financial Services – Depository and Lending – Income Taxes, that is related to Circular 202 because that guidance has been rescinded by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) and is no longer relevant. This ASU was effective upon issuance. Adoption of this ASU did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. Topic 718 improves several areas of nonemployee share-based payment accounting. The amendments in this Update are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than an entity’s adoption on Topic 606. Adoption of this ASU did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, “Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.” The ASU removes, modifies, and adds certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. ASU No. 2018-13 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. In addition, entities may early adopt the modified or eliminated disclosure requirements and delay adoption of the additional disclosure requirements until effective date. The Company is currently assessing the impact of adoption of this guidance upon its disclosures. ASU No. 2018-13 will not impact our consolidated financial statements, as the update only revises disclosure requirements.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, "Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (Topic 740)." The amendments in this ASU simplified the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740. The amendments also improved the consistent application of and simplified GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. The amendments in the ASU are effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to impact the Consolidated Financial Statements.

2. Securities (continued)
The unrealized losses on the Company’s investment in mortgage-backed securities at March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2019 were caused by interest rate changes. The contractual cash flows of these investments are guaranteed by agencies of the U.S. Government. Accordingly, it is expected that these securities would not be settled at a price less than the amortized cost of the Company’s investment. Because the decline in market value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality and because the Company has the ability and intent to hold these investments until a recovery of fair value, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2020.
The Company’s investment in equity securities consists primarily of FHLB stock and shares of First National Bankers Bankshares, Inc. (“FNBB”). Management monitors its investment portfolio to determine whether any investment securities which have unrealized losses should be considered other than temporarily impaired.
At March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2019, securities with a carrying value of $1.8 million and $2.3 million, respectively, were pledged to secure public deposits, and securities and mortgage loans with a carrying value of $159.5 million and $152.2 million, respectively, were pledged to secure FHLB advances.

Credit Quality Indicators
The Company segregates loans into risk categories based on the pertinent 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 Company analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans according to credit risk. Loans classified as substandard or identified as special mention are reviewed quarterly by management to evaluate the level of deterioration, improvement, and impairment, if any, as well as assign the appropriate risk category.
Loans excluded from the scope of the quarterly review process above are generally identified as pass credits until: (a) they become past due; (b) management becomes aware of deterioration in the credit worthiness of the borrower; or (c) the customer contacts the Company for a modification. In these circumstances, the loan is specifically evaluated for potential classification and the need to allocate reserves or charge-off. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:
Pass - Loans classified as pass are well protected by the current net worth or paying capacity of the obligor or by the fair value, less cost to acquire and sell the underlying collateral in a timely manner.
Pass Watch - Loans are considered marginal, meaning some weakness has been identified which could cause future impairment of repayment. However, these relationships are currently protected from any apparent loss by collateral.
Special Mention - Loans identified 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 payment capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation 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.
Loss - This classification includes those loans which are considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as loans is not warranted. Even though partial recovery may be possible in the future, it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off these basically worthless loans. Accordingly, these loans are charged-off before period end.

Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when contractually due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays or payment shortfalls are generally not classified as impaired. On a case-by-case basis, management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls, taking into consideration all of the circumstances related to the loan, including the length of the payment delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed.

The Bank has no commitments to loan additional funds to borrowers whose loans were previously in non-accrual status.
A troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) is a restructuring of a debt made by the Company to a debtor for economic or legal reasons related to the debtor’s financial difficulties that it would not otherwise consider. The Company grants the concession in an attempt to protect as much of its investment as possible.

For purposes of the determination of an allowance for loan losses on these TDRs, as an identified TDR, the Company considers a loss probable on the loan and, as a result, the loan is reviewed for specific impairment in accordance with the Company’s allowance for loan loss methodology. If it is determined losses are probable on such TDRs, either because of delinquency or other credit quality indicator, the Company establishes specific reserves for these loans. As of March 31, 2020, there were no commitments to lend additional funds to debtors owing sums to the Company whose terms have been modified in TDRs.

On December 23, 2011, the shareholders of the Company approved the establishment of the Home Federal Bancorp, Inc. of Louisiana 2011 Recognition and Retention Plan and Trust Agreement (the “Recognition Plan”) as an incentive to retain personnel of experience and ability in key positions. The aggregate number of shares of the Company’s common stock available for award under the Recognition Plan totaled 77,808 shares, all of which were vested as of July 31, 2019 such that there are no shares remaining in the Recognition Plan.
The cost associated with the Recognition Plan is based on the share price of $18.92 on July 31, 2014, which represents the fair market price of the Company’s stock on the date on which the Recognition Plan shares were granted. The cost of the Recognition Plan was recognized over the five year vesting period.
Stock Option Plan
On August 10, 2005, the shareholders of the Company approved the establishment of the Home Federal Bancorp, Inc. of Louisiana 2005 Stock Option Plan (the “2005 Option Plan”) for the benefit of directors, officers, and other key employees. The aggregate number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the 2005 Option Plan totaled 158,868 (as adjusted). Both incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options may be granted under the 2005 Option Plan. The 2005 Stock Option Plan terminated on June 8, 2015, however, the 11,705 outstanding options as of March 31, 2020 will remain in effect for the remainder of their original ten year terms.
On December 23, 2011, the shareholders of the Company approved the establishment of the Home Federal Bancorp, Inc. of Louisiana 2011 Stock Option Plan (the “2011 Option Plan”, together with the 2005 Option Plan, the “Option Plans”) for the benefit of directors, officers, and other key employees.

Stock Option Plan (continued)
On August 19, 2010 and July 31, 2014, the Company granted 21,616 options and 2,133 options, respectively, under the 2005 Option Plan that were previously forfeited (as adjusted for the conversion) at an exercise price of $10.93 and $18.92 per share, respectively.

As of March 31, 2020, there were 389 stock options available for future grant under the 2011 Option Plan.
Incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options granted under the Option Plan become vested and exercisable at a rate of 20% per year over five years, commencing one year from the date of the grant, with an additional 20% vesting on each successive anniversary of the date the option was granted. No vesting shall occur after an employee’s employment or service as a director is terminated. In the event of death or disability of an employee or director or change in control of the Company, the unvested options shall become vested and exercisable. The Company recognizes compensation expense during the vesting period based on the fair value of the option on the date of the grant.
Stock Incentive Plans
On November 12, 2014, the shareholders of the Company approved the adoption of the Company’s 2014 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2014 Stock Incentive Plan”) for the benefit of employees and non-employee directors as an incentive to contribute to the success of the Company and reward employees for outstanding performance and the attainment of targeted goals. The 2014 Stock Incentive Plan covers a total of 150,000 shares, of which no more than 37,500 shares, or 25% of the plan, may be share rewards. The balance of the plan is reserved for stock option awards which would total 112,500 stock options, assuming all the share awards are issued. All incentive stock options granted under the 2014 Stock Incentive Plan are intended to comply with the requirements of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code. On October 26, 2015, the Company granted a total of 34,500 plan share awards and 103,500 stock options to directors, officers, and other key employees vesting ratably over five years. On February 5, 2019, the Company granted a total of 3,000 plan share awards and 13,500 stock options to key employees vesting ratably over five years. The 2014 Stock Incentive Plan cost is recognized over the five year vesting period.
On November 13, 2019, the shareholders of the Company approved the adoption of the Company’s 2019 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2019 Stock Incentive Plan”) for the benefit of employees and non-employee directors as an incentive to contribute to the success of the Company and reward employees for outstanding performance and the attainment of targeted goals. The 2019 Stock Incentive Plan covers a total of 125,000 shares, of which no more than 31,250 shares, or 25% of the plan, may be share rewards. The balance of the plan is reserved for stock option awards which would total 93,750 stock options, assuming all the share awards are issued. All incentive stock options granted under the Stock Incentive Plan are intended to comply with the requirements of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code. As of March 31, 2020, there were no outstanding plan share awards or stock options granted pursuant to the 2019 Stock Incentive Plan.
Compensation expense pertaining to the 2011 Recognition Plan and the share awards under the 2014 Stock Incentive Plan was approximately $177,000 and $179,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. For the nine months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, compensation expense charged to operations for stock options granted under the Option Plan and the 2014 Stock Incentive Plan was $103,000 and $105,000, respectively.

8. Fair Value Disclosures
The following disclosure is made in accordance with the requirements of ASC 825, Financial Instruments. Financial instruments are defined as cash and contractual rights and obligations that require settlement, directly or indirectly, in cash. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values have been estimated using the present value of future cash flows or other valuation techniques. The results of these techniques are highly sensitive to the assumptions used, such as those concerning appropriate discount rates and estimates of future cash flows, which require considerable judgment. Accordingly, estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize in a current settlement of the underlying financial instruments.
ASC 825 excludes certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments from its disclosure requirements. These disclosures should not be interpreted as representing an aggregate measure of the underlying value of the Company.
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair values of financial instruments:
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The carrying amount approximates the fair value of cash and cash equivalents.
Investment Securities
Fair values for investment securities, including mortgage-backed securities, are based on quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments. The carrying values of restricted or non-marketable equity securities approximate their fair values. The carrying amount of accrued investment income approximates its fair value.
Mortgage Loans Held-for-Sale
Because these loans are normally disposed of within ninety days of origination, their carrying value closely approximates the fair value of such loans.
Loans Receivable
For variable-rate loans that re-price frequently and with no significant changes in credit risk, fair value approximates the carrying value. Fair values for other loans are estimated using the discounted value of expected future cash flows. Interest rates used are those being offered currently for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable approximates its fair value.
Deposit Liabilities
The fair values for demand deposit accounts are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date, that is, their carrying amounts. Fair values for other deposit accounts are estimated using the discounted value of expected future cash flows. The discount rate is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar maturities.
Advances from Federal Home Loan Bank
The carrying amount of short-term borrowings approximates their fair value. The fair value of long-term debt is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on current incremental borrowing rates for similar borrowing arrangements.
Off-Balance Sheet Credit-Related Instruments
Fair values for outstanding mortgage loan commitments to lend are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining term of the agreements, customer credit quality, and changes in lending rates.
The fair value of interest rate floors and caps contained in some loan servicing agreements and variable rate mortgage loan contracts are considered immaterial within the context of fair value disclosure requirements. Accordingly, no fair value estimate is provided for these instruments.

The estimated fair values presented above could be materially different than net realizable value and are only indicative of the individual financial instrument’s fair value. Accordingly, these estimates should not be considered an indication of the fair value of the Company taken as a whole.
The Company follows the guidance of FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures ("ASC 820"). ASC 820 affirms a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 was issued to establish a uniform definition of fair value. The definition of fair value is market-based as opposed to company-specific and includes the following:
| • | Defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability, in either case, through an orderly transaction between market participants at a measurement date and establishes a framework for measuring fair value; |
| • | Establishes a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date; |
| • | Nullifies the guidance in EITF 02-3, which required the deferral of profit at inception of a transaction involving a derivative financial instrument in the absence of observable data supporting the valuation technique; |
| • | Eliminates large position discounts for financial instruments quoted in active markets and requires consideration of the company’s creditworthiness when valuing liabilities; and |
| • | Expands disclosures about instruments that are measured at fair value. |
The standard establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy favors the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows:
| • | Level 1 – Fair value is based upon quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets in which the Company can participate. |
| • | Level 2 – Fair value is based upon (a) quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; (b) quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, that is, markets in which there are few transactions for the asset or liability, the prices are not current, or price quotations vary substantially either over time or among market makers, or in which little information is released publicly; (c) inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; or (d) inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. |
27
HOME FEDERAL BANCORP, INC. OF LOUISIANA
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
8. Fair Value Disclosures (continued)
| • | Level 3 – Fair value is based upon inputs that are unobservable for the asset or liability. These inputs reflect the Company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability (including assumptions about risk). These inputs are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances, which include the Company’s own data. The Company’s own data used to develop unobservable inputs are adjusted if information indicates that market participants would use different assumptions. |
A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The preceding methods described may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of the net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, although the Company believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date. There have been no changes in the methodologies used during the nine months ended March 31, 2020.
Fair values of assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis at March 31, 2020 and June 30, 2019 are as follows:

9. Subsequent Events
Home Federal Bank is working with customers affected by COVID-19 through payment accommodations on their loans. In accordance with FDIC guidance, borrowers who were current prior to becoming affected by COVID-19, that received payment accommodations as a result of the pandemic, generally are not reported as past due. Effects of COVID-19 may negatively impact management assumptions and estimates, such as the allowance for loan losses. The Bank is evaluating all payment accommodations to customers to identify and quantify any impact they might have on the Bank. However, it is difficult to assess or predict how and to what extent COVID-19 will affect the Company in the future.
In accordance with FASB ASC 855, Subsequent Events, the Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date that the financial statements were available to be issued.

Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the regulations thereunder). Forward-looking statements are not historical facts but instead represent only the beliefs, expectations or opinions of Home Federal Bancorp and its management regarding future events, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of such words as: “believe”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “plan”, “estimate”, or words of similar meaning, or future or conditional terms such as “will”, “would”, “should”, “could”, “may”, “likely”, “probably”, or “possibly.” Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, financial projections and estimates and their underlying assumptions; statements regarding plans, objectives and expectations with respect to future operations, products and services; and statements regarding future performance. Such statements are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumption, many of which are difficult to predict and generally are beyond the control of Home Federal Bancorp and its management, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied or projected by, forward-looking statements. The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements: (1) economic and competitive conditions which could affect the volume of loan originations, deposit flows and real estate values; (2) the levels of non-interest income and expense and the amount of loan losses; (3) competitive pressure among depository institutions increasing significantly; (4) changes in the interest rate environment causing reduced interest margins; (5) general economic conditions, either nationally or in the markets in which Home Federal Bancorp is or will be doing business, being less favorable than expected (6) political and social unrest including acts of war or terrorism; (7) the impact of the current outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) or (8) legislation or changes in regulatory requirements adversely affecting the business in which Home Federal Bancorp will be engaged. Home Federal Bancorp undertakes no obligation to update these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that occur after the date on which such statements were made.
General
The Company’s results of operations are primarily dependent on the results of Home Federal Bank (the “Bank”), its wholly owned subsidiary. 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 and loan sale activities. Non-interest expense principally consists of compensation and employee benefits, office occupancy and equipment expense, data processing, and other expenses. Our 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 conditions and results of operations.
The Bank operates from its main office in Shreveport, Louisiana and seven full service branch offices located in Shreveport and Bossier City, Louisiana. The Company’s primary market area is the Shreveport-Bossier City metropolitan area.
Critical Accounting Policies
Allowance for Loan Losses. The Company has identified the calculation of the allowance for loan losses as a critical accounting policy, due to the higher degree of judgment and complexity than its other significant accounting policies. Provisions for loan losses are based upon management’s periodic valuation and assessment of the overall loan portfolio and the underlying collateral, trends in non-performing loans, current economic conditions, and other relevant factors in order to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level believed by management to represent all known and inherent losses in the portfolio that are both probable and reasonably estimable. Although management uses the best information available, the level of the allowance for loan losses remains an estimate which is subject to significant judgment and short-term change.
29
HOME FEDERAL BANCORP, INC. OF LOUISIANA
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 basis of the various assets and liabilities and gives current recognition to changes in tax rates and laws. The realization of our deferred tax assets principally depends upon our achieving projected future taxable income. We may change our judgments regarding future profitability due to future market conditions and other factors. We may adjust our deferred tax asset balances, if our judgments change.
COVID-19
In light of the recent events surrounding the COVID-19 epidemic, the Company is continually assessing the effects of the pandemic on its employees, customers and communities. In March 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) was enacted. The CARES Act contains many provisions related to banking, lending, mortgage forbearance and taxation. The Company has been working diligently to help support its customers through the SBA Paycheck Protection Program (“SBA PPP”), loan modifications and loan deferrals. As of May 8, 2020 Home Federal Bank has funded 351 SBA PPP loans totaling approximately $45.8 million with an average loan balance of $131,000 to existing customers and key prospects located primarily in our trade area of NW Louisiana. Our commercial lenders and operational support staff have worked tirelessly over the past few weeks to accomplish what seemed to be an insurmountable task in providing a lifeline to our small community businesses. We believe the customer interaction during this time provides a real opportunity to broaden and deepen our customer relationships while benefiting our community.
Home Federal Bank is working with customers affected by COVID-19 through payment accommodations on their loans. In accordance with FDIC guidance, borrowers who were current prior to becoming affected by COVID-19, that received payment accommodations as a result of the pandemic, generally are not reported as past due. Effects of COVID-19 may negatively impact management assumptions and estimates, such as the allowance for loan losses. The Bank is evaluating all payment accommodations to customers to identify and quantify any impact they may have on the Bank. However, it is difficult to assess or predict how and to what extent COVID-19 will affect the Company in the future. Please see the section titled “Additional COVID-19 Information” for additional information related to actions taken.
Discussion of Financial Condition Changes from June 30, 2019 to March 31, 2020
At March 31, 2020, the Company reported total assets of $460.5 million, an increase of $18.0 million, or 4.1%, compared to total assets of $442.5 million at June 30, 2019. The increase in assets was comprised primarily of increases in cash and cash equivalents of $23.5 million, or 129.8%, from $18.1 million at June 30, 2019 to $41.6 million at March 31, 2020, loans held-for-sale of $1.9 million, or 21.7%, from $8.6 million at June 30, 2019 to $10.5 million at March 31, 2020, other assets of $114,000, or 16.1%, from $710,000 at June 30, 2019 to $824,000 at March 31, 2020, and bank owned life insurance of $105,000, or 1.5%, from $6.9 million at June 30, 2019 to $7.1 million at March 31, 2020. These increases were partially offset by decreases in loan receivable net of $5.4 million, or 1.7%, from $324.1 million at June 30, 2019 to $318.7 million at March 31, 2020, foreclosed assets of $1.2 million, or 91.4%, from $1.4 million at June 30, 2019 to $118,000 at March 31, 2020, premises and equipment of $422,000, or 3.1%, from $13.6 million at June 30, 2019 to $13.1 million at March 31, 2020, investment securities of $290,000 or 0.4%, from $67.0 million at June 30, 2019 to $66.7 million at March 31, 2020, accrued interest receivable of $100,000, or 8.5%, from $1.2 million at June 30, 2019 to $1.1 million at March 31, 2020, and deferred tax assets of $61,000, or 7.2%, from $849,000 at June 30, 2019 to $788,000 at March 31, 2020. The $23.5 million increase in cash and cash equivalents was primarily due to an increase in deposits, sales of investment securities and a reduction in loans receivable, net. The decrease in investment securities was primarily due to $12.8 million of principal payments on mortgage-backed securities and $9.6 million from the sale of mortgage backed securities, partially offset by the purchase of $21.5 million of mortgage-backed securities. The increase in loans held-for-sale resulted primarily from an increase in loans originated for sale during the nine months ended March 31, 2020. The decrease in real estate owned was due to the sale of three one-to-four family residences and one residential lot during the nine months ended March 31, 2020.

HOME FEDERAL BANCORP, INC. OF LOUISIANA
Discussion of Financial Condition Changes from June 30, 2019 to March 31, 2020 (continued)
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents increased $23.5 million, or 129.8%, from $18.1 million at June 30, 2019 to $41.6 million at March 31, 2020. The $23.5 million increase in cash and cash equivalents was due to the sale of investment securities, increases in deposits, and a reduction in loans receivable net.
Loans Receivable, Net
Loans receivable, net, decreased by $5.4 million, or 1.7%, to $318.7 million at March 31, 2020 compared to $324.1 million at June 30, 2019. The decrease in loans receivable, net was primarily due to decreases in one-to-four family
residential loans of $8.7 million, multi-family residential loans of $4.1 million, equity line-of-credit loans of $2.3 million, and equity and second mortgage loans of $51,000, partially offset by increases in construction loans of $4.4 million, commercial non-real estate loans of $3.2 million, land loans of $1.1 million, commercial real estate loans of $1.0 million, and equity and consumer loans of $443,000.
Loans Held-for-Sale
Loans held-for-sale increased $1.9 million, or 21.7%, from $8.6 million at June 30, 2019 to $10.5 million at March 31, 2020. The increase in loans held-for-sale results primarily from an increase in the origination volume during the nine months ended March 31, 2020.
Investment Securities
Investment securities amounted to $66.7 million at March 31, 2020 compared to $67.0 million at June 30, 2019, a decrease of $290,000, or 0.4%. The decrease in investment securities was primarily due to $12.8 million of principal payments on mortgage-backed securities and $9.6 million from the sale of mortgage backed securities, partially offset by the purchase of $21.5 million of mortgage-backed securities.
Premises and Equipment, Net
Premises and equipment, net decreased $422,000, or 3.1%, to $13.1 million at March 31, 2020 compared to $13.6 million at June 30, 2019.
Asset Quality
At March 31, 2020, the Company had $7.3 million of non-performing assets (defined as non-accruing loans, accruing loans 90 days or more past due, and other real estate owned) compared to $5.1 million of non-performing assets at June 30, 2019, consisting of four commercial business loans, four single-family residential loans, three commercial real estate loans, one line of credit loan, one land loan, one lot loan and one single-family residential loan in other real estate owned at March 31, 2020 compared to five single-family residential loans, two line of credit loans, two commercial business loans, one lot loan, one land loan, one residential lot in other real estate owned, and two properties that secured single-family residential loans in other real estate owned at June 30, 2019. The increase in non-performing assets from $5.1 million at June 30, 2019 to $7.3 million at March 31,2020 was primarily due to a $3.8 million borrower relationship, consisting of six loans to one borrower which include three commercial real estate loans, two non-real estate loans, and one single family residential loan that were placed on non-accrual status. The six loans had previously been paying interest only payments and were classified as troubled debt restructurings in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019. At March 31, 2020, the Company had two single family residential loans, one commercial business loan, two commercial land and lot development loans, and six loans to one borrower consisting of three commercial real estate loans, two non-real estate loans, and one single family residential loan classified as substandard compared to four single family residential loans, one line of credit loan, two commercial business loans, two commercial land and lot development loans, and five loans to one borrower consisting of two commercial real estate loans, two non-real estate loans, and one single family residential loan classified as substandard at June 30, 2019. There were no loans classified as doubtful at March 31, 2020 or June 30, 2019.

Discussion of Financial Condition Changes from June 30, 2019 to March 31, 2020 (continued)
Total Liabilities
Total liabilities increased $18.7 million, or 4.8%, from $392.1 million at June 30, 2019 to $410.8 million at March 31, 2020 primarily due to an increase in total deposits of $17.9 million, or 4.6%, to $406.1 million at March 31, 2020 compared to $388.2 million at June 30, 2019, and an increase in other borrowings of $1.4 million, or 300.0%, from $450,000 at June 30, 2019 to $1.8 million at March 31, 2020, partially offset by a decrease of $220,000, or 16.2%, in advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank from $1.4 million at June 30, 2019 to $1.1 million at March 31, 2020, a decrease of $211,000, or 36.1%, in advances from borrowers for taxes and insurance from $584,000 at June 30, 2019 to $373,000 at March 31, 2020, and a decrease of $86,000, or 5.5%, in other accrued expenses and liabilities from $1.6 million at June 30, 2019 to $1.5 million at March 31, 2020. The increase in deposits was primarily due to a $34.6 million, or 87.5%, increase in savings deposits from $39.6 million at June 30, 2019 to $74.2 million at March 31, 2020, a $3.8 million, or 6.4%, increase in non-interest bearing deposits from $59.4 million at June 30, 2019 to $63.1 million at March 31, 2020, and a $2.7 million, or 8.6%, increase in NOW accounts from $31.0 million at June 30, 2019 to $33.7 million at March 31, 2020, partially offset by a decrease of $20.1 million, or 11.0%, in certificates of deposit from $183.3 million at June 30, 2019 to $163.2 million at March 31, 2020, and a decrease in money market deposits of $3.1 million, or 4.1%, from $74.9 million at June 30, 2019 to $71.8 million at March 31, 2020. The Company had $16.1 million in brokered deposits at March 31, 2020 compared to $11.2 million at June 30, 2019. The decrease in certificates of deposit is primarily due to a reduction in renewals as a result of our lower offering rates compared to some of our local competitors. The decrease in advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank was primarily due to principal paydowns on amortizing advances.
Shareholders’ Equity
Shareholders’ equity decreased $688,000, or 1.4%, to $49.7 million at March 31, 2020 from $50.3 million at June 30, 2019. The primary reasons for the changes in shareholders’ equity from June 30, 2019 were the acquisition of Company stock of $3.8 million, and dividends paid totaling $865,000, partially offset by net income of $2.8 million, the vesting of restricted stock awards, stock options, and the release of employee stock ownership plan shares totaling $561,000, and proceeds from the issuance of common stock from the exercise of stock options of $65,000.
Regulatory Capital
The Bank is required to meet minimum capital standards promulgated by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”). At March 31, 2020 Home Federal Bank’s regulatory capital was well in excess of the minimum capital requirements.

The decrease in net income for the three months ended March 31, 2020 resulted primarily from an increase of $312,000, or 11.5%, in non-interest expense, a decrease in net interest income of $291,000, or 7.6%, and an increase of $216,000, or 216.0%, in provision for loan losses, partially offset by an increase of $564,000, or 116.8%, in non-interest income, and a decrease of $43,000, or 14.0%, in provision for income taxes. The decrease in net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was primarily due to a $163,000, or 14.0%, increase in total interest expense, primarily due to an increase of nine basis points in the average rate on total interest-bearing liabilities, and a $128,000, or 2.6%, decrease in total interest income primarily due to a decrease of 49 basis points in the average yield on total interest earning assets. The Company’s average interest rate spread was 2.98% for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to 3.56% for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The Company’s net interest margin was 3.30% for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to 3.86% for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The decrease in net interest margin on a comparative quarterly basis was primarily the result of the decrease of 49 basis points in average yield on interest earning assets for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the prior year quarterly period.
The decrease in net income for the nine months ended March 31, 2020 resulted primarily from an increase of $991,000, or 220.2%, in the provision for loan losses, an increase of $898,000, or 10.9%, increase in non-interest expense, and a decrease of $511,000, or 4.4%, in net interest income, partially offset by an increase of $1.3 million, or 83.9%, in non-interest income and a decrease of $294,000, or 29.9%, in provision for income taxes. The decrease in net interest income for the nine month period was primarily due to an $831,000, or 25.6%, increase in total interest expense on borrowings and deposits, partially offset by a $320,000, or 2.1%, increase in total interest income from loans and investments. The Company’s average interest rate spread was 3.13% for the nine months ended March 31, 2020 compared to 3.59% for the nine months ended March 31, 2019. The Company’s net interest margin was 3.47% for the nine months ended March 31, 2020 compared to 3.86% for the nine months ended March 31, 2019. The decrease in the average interest rate spread is attributable primarily to a 20 basis point decrease in the yield on interest-earning assets and a 26 basis point increase in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities for the nine months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the prior year.
Net Interest Income
The decrease in net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was primarily due to a $163,000, or 14.0%, increase in total interest expense, primarily due to an increase of nine basis points in the average rate on interest-bearing deposits, and a $128,000, or 2.6%, decrease in total interest income primarily due to a decrease of 49 basis points in the average yield on total interest earning assets. The cost of funds from Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings decreased $3,000, or 17.6%, compared to the prior year three month period and interest paid on deposits increased $149,000, or 13.0%, compared to the prior year three month period. Interest paid on other borrowings increased $17,000 compared to the prior year three month period. The Company’s average interest rate spread was 2.98% for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to 3.56% for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The Company’s net interest margin was 3.30% for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to 3.86% for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The decrease in net interest margin on a comparative quarterly basis was primarily the result of the decrease of 49 basis points in average yield on interest earning assets for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the prior year quarterly period.
Net interest income for the nine months ended March 31, 2020 was $11.1 million, a decrease of $511,000, or 4.4%, in comparison to the nine months ended March 31, 2019. The decrease in net interest income for the nine month period was primarily due to an $831,000, or 25.6%, increase in total interest expense, partially offset by an increase of $320,000, or 2.1%, in interest income. The cost of funds from Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings decreased $83,000, or 65.4%, compared to the prior year nine month period and interest paid on deposits increased $884,000, or 28.4%, compared to the prior year nine month period. Interest paid on other borrowing increased $30,000 compared to the prior year nine month period. The Company’s average interest rate spread was 3.13% for the nine months ended March 31, 2020, compared to 3.59% for the nine months ended March 31, 2019.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three and Nine Month Periods Ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 (continued)
The decrease in the average interest rate spread is attributable to a 20 basis point decrease in the yield on interest earning assets and a 26 basis point increase in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities for the nine months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the prior year nine month period.
Provision for Losses on Loans
Based on an analysis of historical experience, the volume and type of lending conducted by Home Federal Bank, the status of past due principal and interest payments, general economic conditions, particularly as such conditions relate to our market area, and other factors related to the collectability of Home Federal Bank’s loan portfolio, a provision for loan losses of $316,000 and $1.4 million was made during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2020, respectively, compared to a $100,000 and $450,000 provision made during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2019. The allowance for loan losses was $3.8 million, or 1.17% of total loans receivable, at March 31, 2020 compared to $3.6 million, or 1.09% of total loans receivable, at March 31, 2019. At March 31, 2020, Home Federal Bank had $7.2 million in non-performing loans and $118,000 in foreclosed assets which totaled $7.3 million in non-performing assets. At March 31, 2020, the Company had $7.3 million of non-performing assets (defined as non-accruing loans, accruing loans 90 days or more past due, and other real estate owned) compared to $5.1 million of non-performing assets at June 30, 2019, consisting of four commercial business loans, three commercial real estate loans, four single family residential loans, one line of credit loan, one lot loan, one land loan, and one single-family residential loan in other real estate owned at March 31, 2020 compared to five single-family residential loans, two line of credit loans, two commercial business loans, one lot loan, one land loan, one residential lot in other real estate owned, and two properties that secured single-family residential loans in other real estate owned at June 30, 2019. At March 31, 2020, the Company had two single family residential loans, one commercial business loan, two commercial land and lot development loans, and six loans to one borrower consisting of three commercial real estate loans, two non-real estate loans, and one single family residential loan classified as substandard compared to four single family residential loans, one line of credit loan, two commercial business loans, two commercial land and lot development loans, and five loans to one borrower consisting of two commercial real estate loans, two non-real estate loans, and one single family residential loan classified as substandard at June 30, 2019. There were no loans classified as doubtful at March 31, 2020 or June 30, 2019.
Non-interest Income
The $564,000 increase in non-interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to the prior year quarterly period, was primarily due to an increase of $299,000 in gain on sale of loans, an increase of $219,000 from the sale of securities, a decrease of $41,000 in loss on sale of real estate, and an increase of $12,000 in services charges on deposit accounts, partially offset by a decrease of $6,000 in other income, and a $1,000 decrease in income from bank owned life insurance. The $1.3 million increase in non-interest income for the nine months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the prior year nine month period was primarily due to an increase of $680,000 in gain on sale of loans, an aggregate decrease of $349,000 in loss on sale of real estate, an increase of $219,000 in gain on sale of securities, and a $109,000 increase in service charges on deposit accounts, partially offset by a $21,000 decrease in other non-interest income. The Company sells most of its long term fixed rate residential mortgage loan originations primarily in order to manage interest rate risk. The increase in gain on sale of loans for the nine months ended March 31, 2020 over the same prior year period is due to increased loan originations that were then sold.
Non-interest Expense
The $312,000 increase in non-interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019, is primarily attributable to increases of $329,000 in compensation and benefit expense, $36,000 in data processing expense, $30,000 in occupancy and equipment expense, $14,000 in franchise and bank shares tax, $5,000 in deposit insurance premiums, and a $1,000 increase in other non-interest expense. The increases were partially offset by decreases of $44,000 in advertising expense, $25,000 in loan and collection expense, $23,000 in legal fees, and $11,000 in audit and examination fees. The $898,000 increase in non-interest expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2020, compared to the same nine month period in 2019, is primarily attributable to increases of $862,000 in compensation and benefit expense, $110,000 in occupancy and equipment expense, $53,000 in franchise and bank shares tax expense, $30,000 in data processing expense, $25,000 in advertising expense, $17,000 in loan and collection expense, and a $4,000 increase in other non-interest expense. The increases were partially offset by decreases of $75,000 in real estate owned valuation expense, $57,000 in legal fees, $47,000 in deposit insurance premiums, and $24,000 in audit and examination fees.

Average Balances, Net Interest Income, 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.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Home Federal Bank maintains levels of liquid assets deemed adequate by management. The Bank adjusts its liquidity levels to fund deposit outflows, repay its borrowings, and to fund loan commitments. Home Federal Bank also adjusts liquidity as appropriate to meet asset and liability management objectives.
Home Federal Bank’s primary sources of funds are deposits, amortization and prepayment of loans and mortgage-backed securities, maturities of investment securities and other short-term investments, loan sales, and earnings and funds provided from operations. While scheduled principal repayments on loans and mortgage-backed securities are a relatively predictable source of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions, and competition. The Bank sets the interest rates on its deposits to maintain a desired level of total deposits. In addition, Home Federal Bank invests excess funds in short-term interest-earning accounts and other assets which provide liquidity to meet lending requirements. Home Federal Bank’s deposit accounts with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas amounted to $20.6 million at March 31, 2020.

HOME FEDERAL BANCORP, INC. OF LOUISIANA
Comparison of Operating Results for the Three and Nine Month Periods Ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 (continued)
A significant portion of Home Federal Bank’s liquidity consists of securities classified as available-for-sale and cash and cash equivalents. Home Federal Bank’s primary sources of cash are net income, principal repayments on loans and mortgage-backed securities, and increases in deposit accounts. If Home Federal Bank requires funds beyond its ability to generate them internally, borrowing agreements exist with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas which provides an additional source of funds. At March 31, 2020, Home Federal Bank had $1.1 million in advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas and had $159.5 million in additional borrowing capacity. Additionally, at March 31, 2020, Home Federal Bank was a party to a Master Purchase Agreement with First National Bankers Bank whereby Home Federal Bank may purchase Federal Funds from First National Bankers Bank in an amount not to exceed $15.5 million. There were no amounts purchased under this agreement as of March 31, 2020. In addition, the Company had available a $5.0 million line of credit agreement at March 31, 2020 with First National Bankers Bank. At March 31, 2020 there was a $1.8 million balance in the credit line.
At March 31, 2020, Home Federal Bank had outstanding loan commitments of $43.5 million to originate loans and commitments under unused lines of credit of $7.9 million. At March 31, 2020, certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in less than one year totaled $86.7 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, the cost of such deposits could be significantly higher upon renewal in a rising interest rate environment. Home Federal Bank intends to utilize its high levels of liquidity to fund its lending activities. If additional funds are required to fund lending activities, Home Federal Bank intends to sell its securities classified as available-for-sale, as needed.
At March 31, 2020, Home Federal Bank exceeded each of its regulatory capital requirements with tangible equity, common equity Tier 1, core, and total risk-based capital ratios of 11.02%, 16.15%, 11.02%, and 17.36%, respectively.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
At March 31, 2020, the Company did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined by Securities and Exchange Commission rules.
Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices
The financial statements and related financial data presented herein have been prepared in accordance with instructions to Form 10-Q which 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 a financial institution’s performance than does the effect of inflation.
Additional COVID-19 Information
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic. The effects of COVID-19 did not have a material impact on the financial results of the Company as of March 31, 2020. For the health of our customers and employees, the Bank closed lobbies to all seven branch offices and our main office but remained fully operational. As an essential business, we continued to provide banking and financial services to our customers with drive-thru access available at all of our branch locations and in-person services available by appointment. In addition, we continued to provide access to banking and financial services through online banking, ATMs and by telephone.
In response to the COVID-19 crisis, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act was passed by Congress and signed into law on March 27, 2020. The CARES Act provides an estimated $2.2 trillion of economy-wide financial stimulus to combat the pandemic and stimulate the economy in the form of financial aid to individuals, businesses, nonprofits, states, and municipalities through loans, grants, tax changes, and other types of relief.

HOME FEDERAL BANCORP, INC. OF LOUISIANA
Additional COVID-19 Information (continued)
The following describes some of our responses to COVID-19 relative to the CARES Act, and other effects of the pandemic on our business.
Paycheck Protection Program. The CARES Act authorized the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) to temporarily guarantee loans under a new 7(a) loan program called the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”). We took action promptly to qualify as an SBA lender and were authorized to originate PPP loans.
Through May 8, 2020, Home Federal Bank funded 351 PPP loans with total principal balances of $45.8 million to existing customers and key prospects located primarily in our trade area of NW Louisiana.
Loan Modifications/Troubled Debt Restructurings. Under the CARES Act, loans less than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019 will be considered current for COVID-19 modifications. A financial institution can then suspend the requirements under GAAP for loan modifications related to COVID-19 that would otherwise be categorized as a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”), and suspend any determination of a loan modified as a result of COVID-19 as being a TDR, including the requirement to determine impairment for accounting purposes. Financial institutions wishing to utilize this authority must make a policy election, which applies to any COVID-19 modification made between March 1, 2020 and the earlier of either December 31, 2020 or the 60th day after the end of the COVID-19 national emergency. Home Federal Bank has made that election. Similarly, the Financial Accounting Standards Board has confirmed that short-term modifications made on a good-faith basis in response to COVID-19 to loan customers who were current prior to any relief will not be considered TDRs.
Prior to the enactment of the CARES Act, the banking regulatory agencies provided guidance as to how certain short-term modifications would not be considered TDRs, and have subsequently confirmed that such guidance could be applicable for loans that do not qualify for favorable accounting treatment under Section 4013 of the CARES Act.
The Bank handles loan payment modification requests on a case-by-case basis considering the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, related economic slow-down and stay-at-home orders on our customer and their current and projected cash flows through the term of the loan. Through April 30, 2020, we modified 220 loans with principal balances totaling $84.6 million representing 26.2% of our loans outstanding as of March 31, 2020. A majority of deferrals are three-month payment deferrals of principal and interest, with payments after deferral increased to collect amounts deferred. It is too early to determine if these modified loans will perform in accordance with their modified terms.
Details with respect to actual loan modifications are as follows:

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosures Controls and Procedures. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management including our President and Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and our Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer), we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the President and Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the applicable time periods specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the Company’s most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is not involved in any pending legal proceedings other than routine legal proceedings occurring in the ordinary course of business which involve amounts in the aggregate believed by management to be immaterial to the financial condition of the Company.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted our ability to conduct business and is expected to adversely impact our financial results and those of our customers. The ultimate impact will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the scope and duration of the pandemic and actions taken by governmental authorities in response to the pandemic.
The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly adversely affected our operations and the way we provide banking services to businesses and individuals, most of whom are currently under government issued stay-at-home orders. As an essential business, we continue to provide banking and financial services to our customers with drive-thru access available at most of our branch locations and in-person services available by appointment. In addition, we continue to provide access to banking and financial services through online banking, ATMs and by telephone. If the COVID-19 pandemic worsens it could limit or disrupt our ability to provide banking and financial services to our customers.
In response to the stay-at-home orders, some of our employees currently are working remotely to enable us to continue to provide banking services to our customers. Heightened cybersecurity, information security and operational risks may result from these remote work-from-home arrangements. We also could be adversely affected if key personnel or a significant number of employees were to become unavailable due to the effects and restrictions of the COVID-19 pandemic. We also rely upon our third-party vendors to conduct business and to process, record and monitor transactions. If any of these vendors are unable to continue to provide us with these services, it could negatively impact our ability to serve our customers. Although we have business continuity plans and other safeguards in place, there is no assurance that such plans and safeguards will be effective.
There is pervasive uncertainty surrounding the future economic conditions that will emerge in the months and years following the start of the pandemic. As a result, management is confronted with a significant and unfamiliar degree of uncertainty in estimating the impact of the pandemic on credit quality, revenues and asset values. To date, the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in declines in loan demand and loan originations, other than through government sponsored programs such as the Payroll Protection Program, deposit availability, market interest rates and negatively impacted many of our business and consumer borrower’s ability to make their loan payments. Because the length of the pandemic and the efficacy of the extraordinary measures being put in place to address its economic consequences are unknown, including recent reductions in the targeted federal funds rate, until the pandemic subsides, we expect our net interest income and net interest margin will be adversely affected. Many of our borrowers have become unemployed or may face unemployment, and certain businesses are at risk of insolvency as their revenues decline precipitously, especially in businesses related to travel, hospitality, leisure and physical personal services. Businesses may ultimately not reopen as there is a significant level of uncertainty regarding the level of economic activity that will return to our markets over time, the impact of governmental assistance, the speed of economic recovery, the resurgence of COVID-19 in subsequent seasons and changes to demographic and social norms that will take place.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS (continued)
The impact of the pandemic is expected to continue to adversely affect us during 2020 and possibly longer as the ability of many of our customers to make loan payments has been significantly affected. Although the Company makes estimates of loan losses related to the pandemic as part of its evaluation of the allowance for loan losses, such estimates involve significant judgment and are made in the context of significant uncertainty as to the impact the pandemic will have on the credit quality of our loan portfolio. It is likely that increased loan delinquencies, adversely classified loans and loan charge-offs will increase in the future as a result of the pandemic. Consistent with guidance provided by banking regulators, we have modified loans by providing various loan payment deferral options to our borrowers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Notwithstanding these modifications, these borrowers may not be able to resume making full payments on their loans once the COVID-19 pandemic is resolved. Any increases in the allowance for credit losses will result in a decrease in net income and, most likely, capital, and may have a material negative effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Even after the COVID-19 pandemic subsides, the U.S. economy will likely require some time to recover from its effects, the length of which is unknown. and during which we may experience a recession. As a result, we anticipate our business may be materially and adversely affected during this recovery.
