NOTE 8: Earnings per Share
The Company has granted stock compensation awards with non-forfeitable dividend rights, which are considered participating securities. Accordingly, earnings per share (EPS) is computed using the two-class method as required by ASC 260-10-45. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income allocated to common stock by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period which excludes the participating securities. Diluted EPS includes the dilutive effect of additional potential common shares from stock compensation awards, but excludes awards considered participating securities. ESOP shares are not considered outstanding for EPS until they are earned. The following table presents the computation of basic and diluted EPS for the periods indicated (in thousands, except for share and per share data):

NOTE 10: Share Based Compensation (Unaudited)
In May 2013, the Company’s stockholders approved the West End Indiana Bancshares, Inc. 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (“Plan”) which provides for awards of stock options and restricted stock to key officers and outside directors. The cost of the Plan is based on the fair value of the awards on the grant date. The fair value of restricted stock awards is based on the closing price of the Company’s stock on the grant date. The fair value of stock options is estimated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model using assumptions for dividend yield, stock price volatility, risk-free interest rate, and option term. These assumptions are based on management’s judgments regarding future events, are subjective in nature, and contain uncertainties inherent in an estimate. The cost of the awards are being recognized on a straight-line basis over the five-year vesting period during which participants are required to provide services in exchange for the awards.
Until such time as awards of stock are granted and vest or options are exercised, shares of the Company’s common stock under the Plan shall be authorized but unissued shares. The maximum number of shares authorized under the plan is 196,140. Total share-based compensation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 was $10,000.
Stock Options
The table below represents the stock option activity for the period shown:
| | Options | | | Weighted average exercise price | | | Remaining contractual life (years) | |
Options outstanding at January 1, 2013 | | | — | | | | — | | | | — | |
Granted | | | 125,300 | | | $ | 18.75 | | | | 10 | |
Exercised | | | — | | | | — | | | | — | |
Forfeited | | | — | | | | — | | | | — | |
Expired | | | — | | | | — | | | | — | |
Options outstanding at June 30, 2013 | | | 125,300 | | | | — | | | | 10 | |
Stock options of 125,300 were granted on June 19, 2013. No stock options were granted in the first quarter of 2013.
As of June 30, 2013, the Company had $354,000 of unrecognized compensation expense related to stock options. The cost of stock options will be amortized in monthly installments over the five-year vesting period. There were no exercisable options vested in the three or six months ended June 30, 2013. Stock option expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 was $3,000. The aggregate grant date fair value of the stock options was $357,000. The total intrinsic value of options as of June 30, 2013 was $0.
The fair value of the Company’s stock options was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing formula. The following assumptions were used in the formula:
Expected volatility | | | 13.67% | |
Risk-free interest rate | | | 1.86% | |
Expected dividend yield | | | 1.28% | |
Expected life (in years) | | | 7.5 | |
Exercise price for the stock options | | $ | 18.75 | |
Expected volatility - Based on the historical volatility of share price for similar companies.
Risk-free interest rate - Based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve and expected life of the options at the time of grant.
Dividend yield - West End Indiana Bancshares, Inc. pays a regular quarterly dividend of $0.06 per share.
Expected life – Based on average of the five year vesting period and the ten year contractual term of the stock option plan.
Exercise price for the stock options - Based on the closing price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant.
Restricted Stock Awards
Restricted stock awards are accounted for as fixed grants using the fair value of the Company’s stock at the time of the grant. Unvested restricted stock awards may not be disposed of or transferred during the vesting period. Restricted stock awards carry with them the right to receive dividends.
The table below presents the restricted stock award activity for the period shown:
| | Service-Based Restricted stock awards | | | Weighted average grant date fair value | |
Non-vested at January 1, 2013 | | | — | | | | — | |
Granted | | | 56,040 | | | $ | 18.75 | |
Vested | | | — | | | | — | |
Forfeited | | | — | | | | — | |
Non-vested at June 30, 2013 | | | 56,040 | | | $ | 18.75 | |
Restricted stock awards of 56,040 were granted on June 19, 2013. No restricted stock awards were granted during the first quarter of 2013.
As of June 30, 2013, the Company had $1.04 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to restricted stock awards. The cost of the restricted stock awards will be amortized in monthly installments over the five-year vesting period. Restricted stock expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 was $7,000.

Critical Accounting Policies
There are no material changes to the critical accounting policies disclosed in West End Indiana Bancshares, Inc.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 29, 2013.
Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012
Total assets increased $13.7 million, or 5.6%, to $260.2 million at June 30, 2013 from $246.5 million at December 31, 2012. The increase was primarily the result of an increase in investment securities available for sale of $4.5 million, net loans, including loans held for sale of $5.9 million, and other assets of 713,000 and bank owned life insurance of $74,000. Total cash and cash equivalents increased $2.5 million, from $10.7 million to $13.2 million.
Total cash and cash equivalents increased $2.5 million, or 23.4%, to $13.2 million at June 30, 2013 from $10.7 million at December 31, 2012. The increase in total cash and cash equivalents reflected an increase in core deposits and liquidity management.
Securities classified as available for sale increased $4.5 million, or 7.4%, to $65.1 million at June 30, 2013 from $60.6 million at December 31, 2012. Low-cost funding comprised of public funds and FHLB advances were utilized to purchase securities with matching maturities and allowing for a greater than 1% margin with minimal associated overhead. At June 30, 2013, securities classified as available for sale consisted of mortgage-backed securities, municipal obligations and SBA loans.
Net loans, including loans held for sale, increased $5.9 million, or 3.7%, to $166.8 million at June 30, 2013 from $160.9 million at December 31, 2012 due to increases in commercial loans of $1.2 million, real estate loans of $2.3 million, and consumer loans of $2.5 million. Total non-performing loans increased to $3.3 million at June 30, 2013 from $2.6 million at December 31, 2012.
Deposits increased $10.8 million, or 5.7%, to $200.6 million at June 30, 2013 from $189.8 million at December 31, 2012. The increase was a result of acquisitions of local Public Fund Certificates of Deposit which were invested in short-term securities held for sale and used to fund loan growth.
Borrowings, consisting entirely of Federal Home Loan Bank advances, increased $5.5 million at June 30, 2013 to $29.5 million, from $24.0 million at December 31, 2012, as management employed asset and liability strategies to match funding terms with securities purchases and to fund loan growth.
Total equity decreased to $29.3 million at June 30, 2013, from $30.9 million at December 31, 2012, based on net income for the 2013 year to date of $590,000 offset by a decrease in other accumulated comprehensive income of $1.4 million, stock repurchases of $736,000 and quarterly dividends of $154,000.
Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2013 and 2012
General. We recorded net income of $293,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 compared to net income of $259,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2012. Net interest income increased $113,000 and noninterest income decreased $64,000 quarter to quarter, as interest expense decreased $152,000, noninterest expense increased $32,000 and tax expense decreased $8,000.
Interest Income and Dividend. Interest income decreased $38,000, or 1.4%, to $2.73 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 from $2.77 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2012. Although the average balance of total interest-earning assets increased $8.4 million, or 3.6%, to $241.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 from $233.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2012. The biggest component increase was in securities available for sale, which increased $17.0 million, or 32.8%, to $68.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 from $51.9 million for the prior year quarter. Cash equivalents decreased $15.3 million, or 63.8%, to $8.7 million as of June 30, 2013 from $24.0 million on June 30, 2012. The average yield on interest-earning assets decreased 23 basis points to 4.53% for the 2013 period from 4.76% for the 2012 period.
Interest income on loans decreased $16,000, or 0.64%, to $2.47 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 from $2.49 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2012, as the increase in the average balance of loans was more than offset by a decrease in the average yield on our loans. The average balance of net loans increased $6.6 million, or 4.2%, to $164.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 from $157.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2012. However, the average yield on our loan portfolio decreased 29 basis points to 6.04% for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 from 6.33% for the quarter ended June 30, 2012, reflecting the lower market interest rate environment.
Interest income on investment securities decreased $16,000 to $246,000 for the 2013 quarter from $262,000 for the 2012 quarter. The average balance of our securities available for sale increased $17.0 million, or 32.8%, to $68.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 from $51.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2012, as management deployed funds from cash equivalents, increased non-interest bearing deposits and FHLB advances to purchase these securities. The average yield on our securities portfolio decreased by 60 basis points, to 1.43% for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 from 2.03% for the quarter ended June 30, 2012. Purchased instruments primarily included short-term mortgage-backed securities.
Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $152,000, or 23.7%, to $490,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 from $642,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2012. The decrease resulted primarily from a decrease in interest expense on deposits. The average rate paid on deposits decreased 31 basis points to 0.78% for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 from 1.09% for the quarter ended June 30, 2012, as the Bank repriced its deposit rates in the declining market interest rate environment. The average balance of interest-bearing deposits decreased $2.4 million, or 1.3%, to $180.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 from $182.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2012. The decrease in the average balance of interest-bearing checking accounts by $800,000, savings accounts by $1.0 million and certificates of deposits by $4.2 million were partially offset by an increase of $3.6 million in the average balance of money market accounts. Additionally, non-interest bearing checking accounts increased $3.5 million. Total average balance deposits increased $1.2 million to $193.9 million on June 30, 2013 from $192.7 million on June 30, 2012.
The average balance of our money market accounts increased $3.6 million, or 9.6%, to $41.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 from $37.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2012, as we experienced a movement of maturing certificate of deposits into money market accounts with immediate access and no penalty. The increase in average balance of money market accounts was more than offset by a decrease of 19 basis points on the average rate paid changing to 0.39% in the 2013 quarter from 0.58% in 2012. In addition, the interest expense on our money market accounts declined from $54,000 to $40,000. Interest expense on our certificates of deposit decreased by $114,000, or 27.9%, to $295,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 from $409,000 for the 2012 period as a result of lower balances and a 42 basis point decrease in the average rate paid on these deposits to 1.26% for the 2013 period from 1.68% for the 2012 period.
Interest expense on borrowed funds, consisting entirely of Federal Home Loan Bank advances, decreased by $7,000, or 4.7%, to $141,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 from $148,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2012.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $113,000, or 5.3%, to $2.24 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 from $2.13 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2012. As our net interest rate spread increased to 3.59% from 3.53%, and our net interest margin increased to 3.71% from 3.65%. The increase in our interest rate spread and net interest margin was the effect of the increase in our average interest earning assets to our interest bearing liabilities to 115.92% in June 2013 from 111.93% in 2012 while managing rates to enhance the net margin.
Provision for Loan Losses. Based on our analysis of the factors described in “Critical Accounting Policies — Allowance for Loan Losses,” we recorded a provision for loan losses of $246,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 compared to $255,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2012. At June 30, 2013, non-performing loans including troubled debt restructurings, totaled $3.3 million, or 1.97% of total loans, as compared to $2.7 million, or 1.7% of total loans, at June 30, 2012. The allowance for loan losses to total loans decreased to 1.22% at June 30, 2013 from 1.26% at June 30, 2012.
The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of non-performing loans decreased to 61.65% at June 30, 2013 from 73.94% at June 30, 2012. The increase in non-performing loans was due to a single commercial credit previously identified as impaired and provided with a specific reserve allocated in the allowance for loan losses that has now been placed on non-accrual. This commercial credit was previously, and remains, current with terms of the loan agreement. It was determined that no additional provision is required. To the best of our knowledge, we have provided for all losses that are both probable and reasonable to estimate at June 30, 2013 and 2012.
Noninterest Income. Noninterest income decreased $63,000, or 16.8%, to $312,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 from $375,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2012. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in gain on sale of loans and loan servicing income. Gain on sale of loans decreased $32,000 to $76,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 as compared to $108,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 due to the determination that for asset liability management it was more advantageous to hold newly originated 1-4 family fixed rate mortgages in the Bank’s portfolio than to sell them in the secondary market. As a result of normal principal payments and payoffs and no additional servicing rights sold, loan servicing income decreased $45,000 to $(27,000) in 2013 from $18,000 in 2012 along with a decrease of $21,000 in the gain on the sale of assets. The decreases were offset by increases in service charges on deposits of $8,000; debit card income of $7,000 and realized gain on the sale of securities available for sales of $20,000.
Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense increased $32,000, or 1.7%, to $1.88 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 from $1.85 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2012. Notable changes included an increase in salaries and employee benefits of $10,000 and a net increase in all other expenses of $22,000. Salaries and employee benefits increased due to normal cost of living adjustments, increased medical insurance premiums and increased contributions to the employee defined benefit plan; net occupancy expenses increased $12,000 due to normal maintenance on facilities; and marketing and advertising expenses increased $10,000 due to planned promotions and events. Other expenses increased due to several smaller increases in a number of expense categories.
Income Tax Expense. We recorded an $133,000 income tax expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 compared to a $141,000 income tax expense for the 2012 period, reflecting income of $426,000 before income tax expense during the 2013 quarter versus income before income tax expense of $400,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2012. Our effective tax rate was 31.2% for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 compared to 35.3% for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 as we implemented our tax strategy to purchase more municipal bonds.
Comparison of Operating Results for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2013 and 2012
General. Net income increased to $590,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to net income of $119,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase in net income was primarily due to a decrease in non-interest expense as there was a one-time expenditure of $505,000 in 2012 to establish the West End Bank Charitable Foundation.
Interest Income and Dividend. Interest income decreased $30,000, or 0.54%, to $5.49 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 from $5.52 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The average balance of total interest-earning assets increased $7.9 million, or 3.4%, to $239.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 from $231.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase in total interest-earning assets was offset by a 19 basis point decrease in the average yield on interest-earning assets to 4.63% for the 2013 period from 4.82% for the 2012 period, as a result of generally declining market interest rates. Our effective tax rate was 31.2% for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 compared to 35.3% for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 as we implemented our tax strategy to purchase more municipal bonds.
Interest income and fees on loans decreased $43,000, or 0.88%, to $4.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 from $5.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, as the increase in the average balance of loans was more than offset by a decrease in the average yield on loans. The average balance of loans increased $6.7 million, or 4.3%, to $163.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 from $156.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. However, the average yield on the loan portfolio decreased 32 basis points to 6.06% for the six months ended June 30, 2013 from 6.38% for the six months ended June 30, 2012, reflecting the lower market interest rate environment.
Interest income on investment securities, other interest earning assets and FHLB of Indianapolis stock increased $13,000, or 2.3%, to $582,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 from $569,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase resulted primarily from an increase in the average balance of securities available for sale, which increased $16.8 million, or 34.0%, to $66.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 from $49.5 million for the 2012 period, as funds from increased deposits were deployed to purchase these securities. The average yield on the securities portfolio decreased to 1.67% for the six months ended June 30, 2013 from 2.13% for the six months ended June 30, 2012, resulting from lower market interest rates.
Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $325,000, or 24.3%, to $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 from $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, as the decrease in the average cost of deposits more than offset the increase in the average balance of deposits. Interest expense decreases included certificates of deposits of $231,000, core deposits of $70,000 and Federal Home Loan Bank advances of $22,000. The average rate we paid on deposits decreased 32 basis points to 0.83% for the six months ended June 30, 2013 from 1.15% for the six months ended June 30, 2012, as deposits repriced downward in the declining interest rate environment. The average balance of interest-bearing deposits decreased $3.0 million, or 1.7%, to $178.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 from $181.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase in the average balance of our deposits resulted from increases in non-interest bearing checking and money market accounts offset by decreases in certificates of deposit, interest bearing checking and savings accounts.
The average balance of our money market accounts increased $4.1 million, or 11.3%, to $40.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 from $36.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 as customers with maturing certificates of deposit elected to keep funds more liquid in the low rate environment. In addition, the interest expense on our money market accounts declined from $120,000 to $85,000 due to the decrease of 25 basis points in the cost of these deposits to 0.42% for the June 30, 2013 quarter from 0.67% for the June 30, 2012 period, reflecting lower market interest rates.
The average balance of our certificates of deposit decreased $4.9 million, or 5.0%, to $93.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 from $98.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The decline was strategic in allowing these certificates to roll off and as needed, replaced with core deposits or FHLB advances. The interest expense on our certificates of deposit declined from $851,000 to $620,000, due to lower balances and the decrease of 40 basis points in the cost of these deposits to 1.34% for the six months ended June 2013 period from 1.74% for the six months ended June 2012 period, reflecting lower market interest rates. Core interest-bearing deposit accounts increased $1.9 million, or 2.3%, to $84.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 from $82.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, as customers increased their liquidity and cross-marketing efforts with our commercial customers were increased.
Interest expense on core deposits decreased $70,000 to $114,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 from $184,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012, reflecting lower market interest rates.
Interest expense on borrowed funds, consisting entirely of Federal Home Loan Bank advances, decreased $22,000, or 7.3%, to $281,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 from $303,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012, reflecting the lower market interest rate environment.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $295,000, or 7.0%, to $4.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 from $4.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase reflected an increase in interest rate spread to 3.64% for the six months ended June 30, 2013 from 3.51% for the six months ended June 30, 2012, and an increase in net interest margin to 3.74% for the six months ended June 30, 2013 from 3.61% for six months ended June 30, 2012. The increase in interest rate spread and net interest margin was the result of an increase in interest earning assets to interest bearing liabilities and rapid repricing of our interest-bearing liabilities in the ratio of our declining interest rate environment compared to interest-earning assets.
Provision for Loan Losses. A provision for loan losses of $505,000 was recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and $510,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The allowance for loan losses was $2.0 million, or 1.22% of total loans, at June 30, 2013, compared to $2.0 million, or 1.26% of total loans, at June 30, 2012. Total nonperforming loans were $3.3 million at June 30, 2013, compared with $2.7 million at June 30, 2012.
The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of non-performing loans decreased to 61.65% at June 30, 2013 from 73.94% at June 30, 2012. The increase in non-performing loans was due to a single commercial credit previously identified as impaired and provided with a specific reserve allocated in the allowance for loan losses that has now been placed on non-accrual. This commercial credit was previously, and remains, current with terms of the loan agreement. It was determined that no additional provision is required. To the best of our knowledge, we have provided for all losses that are both probable and reasonable to estimate at June 30, 2013 and 2012.
Noninterest Income. Noninterest income decreased $37,000, or 5.5%, to $641,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 from $678,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The decrease was primarily due to an increase in fee income offset by increased losses on sale of other assets. Gain on sale of loans decreased $17,000 to $184,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 from $201,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012. We recorded a loss on other assets of $62,000 during the six months ended 2013 as compared to a loss of $23,000 recorded during the same period in 2012. The loss recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2013 was primarily related to losses or adjustments on other real estate owned.
Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense decreased $446,000, or 10.6%, to $3.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 from $4.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The decrease was primarily from our contribution to the West End Bank Charitable Foundation in the first quarter of 2012 which resulted in the recording of a one-time expense of $505,000. Additionally, salaries and employee benefits decreased $28,000 to $2.02 million for the 2013 quarter from $2.04 million for the 2012 quarters as a result of the freezing of the defined benefit plan. Other increases include occupancy expense of $18,000; advertising of $35,000 and various miscellaneous operating expenses increased by a net of $40,000.
Income Tax Expense. A $268,000 income tax expense was recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to a $29,000 income tax expense for the 2012 period, reflecting income of $590,000 before income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to income before income tax expense of $119,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012. Our effective tax rate was 31.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to 19.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2012.
Liquidity and Capital Resources. Our primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest payments on loans and securities, proceeds from sale of loans, proceeds from maturities and calls of securities, and Federal Home Loan Bank advances. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions, and competition. Our most liquid assets are cash and short-term investments including interest-bearing demand deposits. The levels of these assets are dependent on our operating, financing, lending, and investing activities during any given period.
Our cash flows are comprised of three primary classifications: cash flows from operating activities, investing activities, and financing activities. Net cash provided by operating activities was $1.1 million and $2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Net cash used in investing activities, which consists primarily of disbursements for loan originations and the purchase of securities, offset by principal collections on loans, proceeds from the sale of loans and securities and proceeds from maturing securities and pay downs on mortgage-backed securities, was $14.0 million and $12.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Net cash provided by financing activities, consisting primarily of the activity in deposit accounts and Federal Home Loan Bank advances, was $15.3 million and $6.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, resulting from our strategy of growing our public fund certificates of deposit, deposit accounts from our commercial borrowers and a general growth in all deposit categories resulting from customers seeking the relative stability of insured accounts in the uncertain economic environment.
At June 30, 2013, we exceeded all of our regulatory capital requirements with a Tier 1 (core) capital level of $27.5 million, or 10.9% of adjusted total assets, which is above the required level of $10.1 million, or 4%; and total risk-based capital of $29.5 million, or 17.5% of risk-weighted assets, which is above the required level of $13.5 million, or 8%. Accordingly West End Bank, S.B. was categorized as well capitalized at June 30, 2013. Management is not aware of any conditions or events since the most recent notification that would change our category.
At June 30, 2013, we had outstanding commitments to originate loans of $14.0 million and stand-by letters of credit of $1.1 million. We anticipate that we will have sufficient funds available to meet our current loan origination commitments. Certificates of deposit that are scheduled to mature in less than one year from June 30, 2012 totaled $49.0 million. Management expects that a substantial portion of the maturing certificates of deposit will be renewed. However, if a substantial portion of these deposits is not retained, we may utilize Federal Home Loan Bank advances or raise interest rates on deposits to attract new accounts, which may result in higher levels of interest expense.
