Management evaluates for potential impairment all construction loans, commercial real estate and commercial business loans and all loans 90 plus days delinquent as to principal and/or interest. Loans are considered to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect in full the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Once the determination is made that a loan is impaired, the determination of whether a specific allocation of the allowance is necessary is generally measured by comparing the recorded investment in the loan to the fair value of the loan using one of the following three methods: (a) the present value of the expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate; (b) the loan’s observable market price; or (c) the fair value of the collateral less selling costs. Management primarily utilizes the fair value of collateral method as a practically expedient alternative. On collateral method evaluations, any portion of the loan deemed uncollectible is charged-off against the loan loss allowance. The following table presents impaired loans by class, segregated by those for which a specific allowance was required and those for which a specific allowance was not required as of June 30, 2015: Impaired Loans with Specific Allowance Impaired Loans with No Specific Allowance Total Impaired Loans (Dollars in Thousands) Recorded Investment Related Allowance Recorded Investment Recorded Investment Unpaid Principal Balance One-to-four family residential $ - $ - $ 8,924 $ 8,924 $ 9,315 Multi-family residential - - 355 355 355 Commercial real estate - - 3,912 3,912 3,912 Construction and land development - - 8,029 8,029 8,029 Total Loans $ - $ - $ 21,220 $ 21,220 $ 21,611 The following table presents impaired loans by class, segregated by those for which a specific allowance was required and those for which a specific allowance was not required as of September 30, 2014: Impaired Loans with Specific Allowance Impaired Loans with No Specific Allowance Total Impaired Loans (Dollars in Thousands) Recorded Investment Related Allowance Recorded Investment Recorded Investment Unpaid Principal Balance One-to-four family residential $ - $ - $ 10,436 $ 10,436 $ 11,135 Multi-family residential - - 368 368 368 Commercial real estate - - 3,777 3,777 3,777 Construction and land development - - 7,399 7,399 7,399 Total Loans $ - $ - $ 21,980 $ 21,980 $ 22,679 The following table presents the average recorded investment in impaired loans and related interest income recognized for the periods indicated: Three Months Ended June 30, 2015 Average Recorded Investment Income Recognized on Accrual Basis Income Recognized on Cash Basis (Dollars in Thousands) One-to-four family residential $ 9,222 $ 115 $ 42 Multi-family residential 357 6 - Commercial real estate 3,832 54 24 Construction and land development 7,977 109 65 Total Loans $ 21,388 $ 284 $ 131 Nine Months Ended June 30, 2015 Average Recorded Investment Income Recognized on Accrual Basis Income Recognized on Cash Basis (Dollars in Thousands) One-to-four family residential $ 9,865 $ 378 $ 119 Multi-family residential 361 19 - Commercial real estate 3,801 157 58 Construction and land development 7,728 318 129 Total Loans $ 21,755 $ 872 $ 306 Three Months Ended June 30, 2014 Average Recorded Investment Income Recognized on Accrual Basis Income Recognized on Cash Basis (Dollars in Thousands) One-to-four family residential $ 10,030 $ 78 $ 85 Multi-family residential 188 7 - Commercial real estate 1,468 8 7 Construction and land development 4,052 34 - Total Loans $ 15,738 $ 127 $ 92 Nine Months Ended June 30, 2014 Average Recorded Investment Income Recognized on Accrual Basis Income Recognized on Cash Basis (Dollars in Thousands) One-to-four family residential $ 10,342 $ 242 $ 136 Multi-family residential 285 20 7 Commercial real estate 1,926 18 14 Construction and land development 2,628 70 - Total Loans $ 15,181 $ 350 $ 157 Federal regulations and our loan policy require that the Company utilize an internal asset classification system as a means of reporting problem and potential problem assets. The Company has incorporated an internal asset classification system, consistent with Federal banking regulations, as a part of its credit monitoring system. Management currently classifies problem and potential problem assets as “special mention”, “substandard,” “doubtful” or “loss” assets. An asset is considered “substandard” if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. “Substandard” assets include those characterized by the “distinct possibility” that the insured institution will sustain “some loss” if the deficiencies are not corrected. Assets classified as “doubtful” have all of the weaknesses inherent in those classified “substandard” with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make “collection or liquidation in full,” on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, “highly questionable and improbable.” Assets classified as “loss” are those considered “uncollectible” and of such little value that their continuance as assets without the establishment of a specific loss reserve is not warranted. Assets which do not currently expose the insured institution to sufficient risk to warrant classification in one of the aforementioned categories but possess weaknesses are required to be designated “special mention.” The following tables present the classes of the loan portfolio in which a formal risk weighting system is utilized summarized by the aggregate “Pass” and the criticized category of “special mention”, and the classified categories of “substandard”, “doubtful” and “loss” within the Company’s risk rating system as applied to the loan portfolio. The Company had no loans classified as “doubtful” or “loss” at either of the dates presented.

If the Company becomes aware that adverse or distressed conditions exist that may affect a particular single-family residential loan, the loan is downgraded following the above definitions of special mention, substandard, doubtful and loss. The following table represents loans in which a formal risk rating system is not utilized, but loans are segregated between performing and non-performing based primarily on delinquency status. Non-performing loans that would be included in the table are those loans greater than 90 days past due, that do not have a designated risk rating. June 30, 2015 Performing Non- Total (Dollars in Thousands) One-to-four family residential $ 257,659 $ - $ 257,659 Consumer 378 - 378 Total Loans $ 258,037 $ - $ 258,037 September 30, 2014 Non- Total (Dollars in Thousands) One-to-four family residential $ 270,692 $ - $ 270,692 Consumer 280 - 280 Total Loans $ 270,972 $ - $ 270,972 Management further monitors the performance and credit quality of the loan portfolio by analyzing the age of the portfolio as determined by the length of time a recorded payment is due or overdue, as the case may be. The following table presents the loan categories of the loan portfolio summarized by the aging categories of performing and delinquent loans and nonaccrual loans: June 30, 2015 Current 30-89 Days 90 Days + 90 Days+ Total Total Loans Non- (Dollars in Thousands) One-to-four family residential $ 262,629 $ 529 $ 3,425 $ - $ 529 $ 266,583 $ 4,949 Multi-family residential 6,304 - - - - 6,304 - Commercial real estate 25,237 - 182 - - 25,419 2,462 Construction and land development 40,580 - - - - 40,580 8,029 Consumer 378 - - - - 378 - Total Loans $ 335,128 $ 529 $ 3,607 $ - $ 529 $ 339,264 $ 15,440 September 30, 2014 Current 30-89 Days 90 Days + 90 Days+ Total Total Loans Non- (Dollars in Thousands) One-to-four family residential $ 278,716 $ 475 $ 3,446 $ - $ 475 $ 282,637 $ 5,002 Multi-family residential 7,174 - - - - 7,174 - Commercial real estate 16,113 - - - - 16,113 877 Construction and land development 22,397 - - - - 22,397 - Commercial business 1,976 - - - - 1,976 - Consumer 399 - - - - 399 - Total Loans $ 326,775 $ 475 $ 3,446 $ - $ 475 $ 330,696 $ 5,879 The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged to expense. The Company maintains the allowance at a level believed to cover all known and inherent losses in the portfolio that are both probable and reasonable to estimate at each reporting date. Management reviews the allowance for loan losses no less than quarterly in order to identify these inherent losses and to assess the overall collection probability for the loan portfolio in view of these inherent losses. For each primary type of loan, a loss factor is established reflecting an estimate of the known and inherent losses in such loan type contained in the portfolio using both a quantitative analysis as well as consideration of qualitative factors. The evaluation process includes, among other things, an analysis of delinquency trends, non-performing loan trends, the level of charge-offs and recoveries, prior loss experience, total loans outstanding, the volume of loan originations, the type, size and geographic concentration of the Company’s loans, the value of collateral securing the loans, the borrowers’ ability to repay and repayment performance, the number of loans requiring heightened management oversight, local economic conditions and industry experience. Commercial real estate loans entail significant additional credit risks compared to one-to-four family residential mortgage loans, as they generally involve large loan balances concentrated with single borrowers or groups of related borrowers. In addition, the payment experience on loans secured by income-producing properties typically depends on the successful operation of the related real estate project and/or business operation of the borrower who is also the primary occupant, and thus may be subject to a greater extent to the effects of adverse conditions in the real estate market and in the economy in general. Commercial business loans typically involve a higher risk of default than residential loans of like duration since their repayment is generally dependent on the successful operation of the borrower’s business and the sufficiency of collateral, if any. Land acquisition, development and construction lending exposes the Company to greater credit risk than permanent mortgage financing. The repayment of land acquisition, development and construction loans depends upon the sale of the property to third parties or the availability of permanent financing upon completion of all improvements. These events may adversely affect both the borrowers as well as the value of the collateral property. Such lending is additionally subject to the risk that if the estimate of construction cost proves to be inaccurate, potentially the Company will be compelled to advance additional funds. If the Company is forced to foreclose on a project prior to completion, there is no assurance that the Company would be able to recover the entire unpaid portion of the loan. The following tables summarize the primary segments of the allowance for loan losses. Activity in the allowance is presented for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014: Three Months Ended June 30, 2015 One- to Multi- Commercial Construction Commercial Consumer Unallocated Total (Dollars in Thousands) ALLL balance at March 31, 2015 $ 1,545 $ 51 $ 207 $ 545 $ - $ 4 $ 236 $ 2,588 Charge-offs (126 ) - - - - - - (126 ) Recoveries 1 - - - - - - 1 Provision 219 9 8 (38 ) - - 12 210 ALLL balance at June 30, 2015 $ 1,639 $ 60 $ 215 $ 507 $ - $ 4 $ 248 $ 2,673 Nine Months Ended June 30, 2015 One- to Multi- Commercial Construction Commercial Consumer Unallocated Total (Dollars in Thousands) ALLL balance at September 30, 2014 $ 1,663 $ 67 $ 122 $ 323 $ 15 $ 4 $ 231 $ 2,425 Charge-offs (338 ) - - - - - - (338 ) Recoveries 1 - - - - - - 1 Provision 313 (7 ) 93 184 (15 ) - 17 585 ALLL balance at June 30, 2015 $ 1,639 $ 60 $ 215 $ 507 $ - $ 4 $ 248 $ 2,673 The increase in the provision for the fiscal 2015 periods was primarily a result of replenishing the allowance related to one-to-four family loans that were charged-off during the period based upon the balance of such loans at June 30, 2015. In addition, the allowance associated with construction and land development loans was impacted by the increase in the outstanding balance of such loans triggering the need to increase the Company’s allowance. Three Months Ended June 30, 2014 One- to Multi- Commercial Construction Commercial Consumer Unallocated Total (Dollars in Thousands) ALLL balance at March 31, 2014 $ 1,425 $ 64 $ 141 $ 523 $ 4 $ 3 $ 230 $ 2,390 Charge-offs (205 ) - - - - - - (205 ) Recoveries - - - - - - - - Provision 86 38 90 (234 ) - 2 18 - ALLL balance at June 30, 2014 $ 1,286 $ 58 $ 125 $ 512 $ 3 $ 1 $ 200 $ 2,185 Nine Months Ended June 30, 2014 One- to Multi- Commercial Construction Commercial Consumer Unallocated Total (Dollars in Thousands) ALLL balance at September 30, 2013 $ 1,384 $ 22 $ 70 $ 653 $ 4 $ 2 $ 218 $ 2,353 Charge-offs (215 ) - - - - - - (215 ) Recoveries 47 - - - - - - 47 Provision 70 36 55 (141 ) (1 ) (1 ) (18 ) - ALLL balance at June 30, 2014 $ 1,286 $ 58 $ 125 $ 512 $ 3 $ 1 $ 200 $ 2,185 The decrease in the provision for the fiscal 2014 periods primarily related to the construction and land development loan category and was due mainly to a decrease in the historical loss factor. This decrease was a direct result of prior period charge-offs that occurred prior to the three year period utilized for calculation of this component of the allowance for loan losses. The following tables summarize information regarding troubled debt restructurings (“TDR”) occurring in the periods presented for both three and nine months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014. The Company did not restructure any debt during the three month period ended June 30, 2015. Nine Months Ended June 30, 2015 (Dollars in Thousands) Number of Pre-Modification Post- Commercial real estate 1 $ 750 $ 750 Construction and land development 1 3,665 3,665 2 $ 4,415 $ 4,415 Three Months Ended June 30, 2014 (Dollars in Thousands) Number of Pre-Modification Post- One-to-four family 1 $ 453 $ 800 1 $ 453 $ 800 Nine Months Ended June 30, 2014 (Dollars in Thousands) Number of Pre-Modification Post- One-to-four family 1 $ 1,468 $ 1,468 Commercial 1 453 800 2 $ 1,921 $ 2,268 At June 30, 2015, the Company had ten loans classified as TDRs aggregating $8.3 million, consisting two single-family real estate loans which amounted to $1.6 million, one construction and land development loan totaling $3.6 million and seven commercial real estate loans which amounted to $3.1 million. Of these loans, one single-family real estate loan totaling $1.4 million, two commercial real estate loans totaling $1.6 million and a construction and land development loan totaling $3.7 million were determined to be non-performing, until management has made the decision to designate these credits as performing. Typically management will wait a minimum of six consecutive contractual payments prior to change the designation. All TDRs, with the exception of one commercial real estate loan totaling $884,000, were classified as “substandard” as of June 30, 2015. No TDRs defaulted during the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2015 or 2014 that were restructured in the twelve months preceding the periods presented. |
