Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
1. | Statement of Information Furnished |
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Form 10-QSB instructions and Article 10 of Regulation S-X, and in the opinion of management contains all adjustments (all of which are normal and recurring in nature) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of June 30, 2007, the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. These results have been determined on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The attached consolidated statements are those of AMB Financial Corp. (the “Company”) and its consolidated subsidiaries American Savings, FSB (the “Bank”), the Bank’s wholly owned subsidiary NIFCO, Inc., and the wholly owned subsidiary of NIFCO, Inc., Ridge Management, Inc. The results of operations for the three and six month period ended June 30, 2007 is not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Earnings per share for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 were determined by dividing net income for the periods by the weighted average number of both basic and diluted shares of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding (see Exhibit 11 attached). Stock options are regarded as common stock equivalents and are considered in diluted earnings per share calculations. Common stock equivalents are computed using the treasury stock method. ESOP shares not committed to be released to participants are not considered outstanding for purposes of computing earnings per share amounts.
The Company operates principally in the banking industry through its subsidiary bank. As such, substantially all of the Company’s revenues, net income, identifiable assets and capital expenditures are related to banking operations.
Impact of New Accounting Standards
The following does not constitute a comprehensive summary of all material changes or developments affecting the manner in which the Company keeps its books and records and performs its financial accounting responsibilities. It is intended only as a summary of some of the recent pronouncements made by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), which are of particular interest to financial institutions.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements required under other accounting pronouncements, but does not change existing guidance as to whether or not an instrument is carried at fair value. Additionally, it establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Earlier application is encouraged provided that the reporting entity has not yet issued financial statements for that fiscal year, including financial statements for an interim period within that fiscal year. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 157 to have a material impact on its financial condition and results of operations.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (SFAS 159), which allows an entity the irrevocable option to elect fair value for the initial and subsequent measurement for certain financial assets and liabilities. Subsequent changes in fair value of these financial assets and liabilities would be recognized in earnings when they occur. SFAS 159 further establishes certain additional disclosure requirements. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, with earlier adoption permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact and timing of the adoption of SFAS 159 on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
Total assets of the Company were $174.5 million at June 30, 2007, a decrease of $7.8 million, or 4.3% from $182.3 million at December 31, 2006. The decrease in assets during the six month period was primarily due to a slowdown in loan origination activity, resulting in decreased loan balances, as well as a decrease in cash and cash equivalents.
Cash and short-term investments totaled a combined $8.7 million at June 30, 2007, a decrease of $1.0 million, from the combined balance of $9.7 million at December 31, 2006. The Company utilized a portion of these funds to buy back stock and pay dividends during the period.
Investment securities, available for sale, decreased by $12,000 to $3.2 million at June 30, 2007. This portfolio consists primarily of U.S. government agency obligations. At June 30, 2007, the Company had an unrealized loss, net of taxes, on available for sale investment securities of $15,700 compared to an unrealized loss, net of taxes, of $9,500 at December 31, 2006.
Trading account securities increased by $10,000 to $349,000 at June 30, 2007. The increase is attributable to an increase in unrealized appreciation in the portfolio. There were no purchases or sales of trading account securities during the current period. The trading account portfolio consists of holdings in small thrift and community bank stocks.
Mortgage-backed securities, available for sale, decreased by $235,000 to $1.0 million at June 30, 2007. There were no new purchases of mortgage-backed securities over the most recent six month period. At June 30, 2007, the Company had an unrealized loss, net of taxes, on available for sale mortgage-backed securities of $19,000 compared to an unrealized loss, net of taxes, of $15,000 at December 31, 2006.
Loans receivable decreased $6.1 million, or 4.0%, to $144.6 million at June 30, 2007 from $150.7 million at December 31, 2006. The Bank originated loans of $19.5 million and purchased loans totaling $2.4 million, including $1.2 million in an adjustable rate construction loan located in the Chicagoland area, during the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to $25.3 million of originations and $6.6 million of purchases during the prior year period. The decline in originations was due to lack of activity in the local market. Offsetting originations and purchases were amortization and prepayments totaling $27.9 million and $23.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The increase was due to a large volume of 1-4 family mortgage loan payoffs totaling $12.7 million in 2007 compared to $8.1 million in 2006.
The allowance for loan losses totaled $963,000 at June 30, 2007, an increase of $277,000 from an allowance for loan losses of $686,000 at December 31, 2006. The increase was primarily due to a $249,000 recovery received during the first quarter of 2007 from a settlement regarding medical lease loans which had been charged off in 2002. In addition, the Company recorded a $55,000 provision for loan losses offset by $27,000 in net loan charge-offs. The Company’s allowance for loan losses to total loans outstanding was 0.66% at June 30, 2007 and 0.45% at December 31, 2006. Non-performing loans decreased $848,000 to $3.0 million, or 2.05% of total loans receivable at June 30, 2007, compared to $3.8 million, or 2.59% of total loans receivable at March 31, 2007. The ratio of allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans was 32.32% at June 30, 2007 compared to 25.65% at December 31, 2006.
At June 30, 2007, the Bank had $404,000 of other real estate owned compared to $1.1 million at December 31, 2006. During the most recent six month period, the Bank transferred one single-family residential loan in the amount of $90,000 to this category while selling five other real estate owned properties. The remaining property included in other real estate owned at June 30, 2007 was a commercial building located in Highland, Indiana.
The Company has acquired, in conjunction with an agreement with a local builder, seven vacant lots on which to construct single-family residences. During the recent three month period, the Company sold one real estate held for development property for $486,000 resulting in income of $36,000. At June 30, 2007, there were three properties completed and listed for sale. All of the completed properties are located within the local community of the Bank.
Deposits decreased $2.6 million to $122.4 million at June 30, 2007. The decrease in deposits is primarily attributable to increased competition for deposit accounts in a flat yield curve environment. The decrease in deposits is the result of a $1.1 million decrease in demand deposits and NOW accounts, an $893,000 decrease in certificates of deposit and an $855,000 decrease in money market accounts offset by an increase of $255,000 in passbook accounts. At June 30, 2007, the Bank’s non-certificate accounts (passbook, check and money market accounts) comprised $42.3 million, or 34.6% of deposits, compared to $43.9 million, or 35.2% of deposits, at December 31, 2006.
Borrowed money, which consisted primarily of FHLB of Indianapolis advances, decreased by $3.1 million to $31.2 million at June 30, 2007. There is currently $13.0 million of FHLB of Indianapolis advances and $2.0 million of other borrowings maturing over the next twelve month period at a weighted average interest rate of 5.47%. As of June 30, 2007, the weighted average rate and term to maturity of borrowed money was 5.33% and 2.0 years compared to 5.16% and 2.2 years at December 31, 2006. Also, during the first quarter of 2007, the Company repaid its $5.0 million trust preferred issue and replaced it with a new $3.0 million trust preferred security issue at a reduced interest rate and $2.0 million in borrowings from another financial institution.
Total stockholders’ equity of the Company decreased by $427,000 to $14.2 million, or 8.16% of total assets, at June 30, 2007, compared to $14.7 million, or 8.04% of total assets at December 31, 2006. The decrease was due to stock repurchases during the six months of $312,000 as well as the payment of $177,000 in cash dividends and an unrealized loss of $10,000, offset by net income of $67,000 and activities associated with our stock option plan of $5,000. The Company may, from time to time based on market conditions, continue modest repurchases of stock.
Comparison of the Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2007 and 2006
General - Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2007 was $51,000, or $.05 per diluted share, compared to net income of $154,000, or $.15 per diluted share for the three months ended June 30, 2006. The decrease in earnings is primarily due to a decrease in net interest income as well as a decline in non-interest income, primarily reduced fee income, offset in part by a reduction in both the loan loss and income tax provisions.
Interest income - Total interest income increased by $49,000, or 2.0%, to $2.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the prior year’s quarter. This increase was the result of an increase in the average yield of interest-earning assets to 6.34% for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 from 6.22% for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 while the average balance of interest-earning assets remained flat at $158.2 million.
Interest income on loans receivable, the most significant portion of interest income, decreased $4,000, or to $2.3 million for the current quarter compared to the prior year’s quarter. The decrease in interest income on loans was the result of a $3.9 million decrease in the average balance of loans receivable due to a slowdown in loan origination activity offset by an increase in average yield to 6.47% for the three months ended June 30, 2007, from 6.31% for the same period in 2006, due to higher market interest rates. Interest income on interest-bearing cash deposits rose by $60,000, or 170%, to $95,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 from $35,000 in the year ago quarter. The increase was primarily due to a $4.4 million increase in the average balance of cash maintained in interest-bearing deposits and to a lesser extent, a 49 basis point increase in the average yield on interest-bearing deposits to 5.12% for the three months ended June 30, 2007, from 4.63% for the same period in 2006.
Interest Expense - Total interest expense increased by $162,000, or 11.2%, to $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased 40 basis points to 4.08% for the quarter ended June 30, 2007, compared to 3.68% for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 as higher short-term interest rates and competitive pricing pressures have forced management to raise its cost of funds.
Interest expense on deposits increased $113,000, or 11.2%, to $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007, compared to $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006. The increase reflects a 47 basis point increase in the average rate paid on deposits to 3.65% for the three months ended June 30, 2007, from 3.18% for the same period in 2006 while the balance of average interest-bearing deposits declined by $3.9 million to $122.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007, from $126.6 million for the same period in 2006. The increase in net interest expense is attributable to the continuing shift of funds out of lower cost core deposits, including money market accounts, and into higher rate certificates of deposit.
Interest expense on borrowings increased by $49,000, or 11.1%, to $494,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007, compared to $445,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2006. The average balance of borrowings, including the Company’s subordinated debentures, increased by $4.5 million to $35.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007, from $31.1 million for the 2006 quarter. The increase in borrowings between the periods was used in part to fund the $3.9 million decline in average deposit balances between the two periods. The average cost of borrowed funds declined by 16 basis points to 5.56% in the 2007 quarter from 5.72% in the 2006 quarter. During the first quarter of 2007, the Company repaid its $5.0 million trust preferred issue and replaced it with a new $3.0 million offering at a reduced rate and a $2.0 million borrowing that is scheduled to mature annually.
Provision for Loan Losses - The Company establishes provisions to the allowance for loan losses, which are charged to operations in order to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level considered necessary to absorb probable incurred losses in the loan portfolio. In determining the level of the allowance for loan losses, management considers past and current loss experience, evaluations of collateral, current economic conditions, volume and type of lending, adverse situations that may affect a borrower’s ability to repay a loan and the levels of nonperforming and the other classified assets. The amount of the allowance is based on estimates and the ultimate losses may vary from such estimates as more information becomes available or later events change. The allowance for loan losses is reviewed on a quarterly basis and if needed, provisions for loan losses are made to maintain the allowance.
Based on management’s assessment of the adequacy of the loan loss reserve, the Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $29,000 during the three month period ended June 30, 2007 as compared to a $127,000 provision in the prior year period. There were no changes in estimation method or assumptions that impacted the provision for loan losses during the quarter. The higher provision during the prior year’s quarter was primarily the result of the Company authorizing $75,000 of additional provision against a non-residential loan account which was subsequently charged-off. During the current quarter, the Bank recorded $7,000 of consumer loan charge-offs. The Bank’s general allowance for loan losses was $963,000 at June 30, 2007, which was equal to 32.3% of non-performing loans and 0.66% of net loans receivable.
Non-Interest Income - Non-interest income decreased to $371,000 in the current quarter, compared to $441,000 reported in last year’s second quarter. The decrease in non-interest income was primarily due to lower service fee income of $58,000 relating to the accounts receivable programs due to decreased volumes from those accounts serviced by the Bank as well as those serviced by others, lower deposit related fee income of $13,000, primarily from the NOW account overdraft protection program, due to lower volumes of overdraft activity and reduced loan related fee income of $26,000, primarily due to a decrease in loan refinance activity resulting in smaller loan release and miscellaneous fees. In addition, the Company recorded $35,000 in gains on the sale of real estate owned properties in the prior year’s quarter compared to $1,000 in gains during the current year’s quarter and a gain of $39,000 in the prior year’s quarter relating to a final distribution of proceeds from the sale of stock in the Bank’s data processing provider. Offsetting these income declines was $36,000 in income from real estate operations resulting from the sale of an additional property from the real estate held for development portfolio.
Non-Interest Expense - Non-interest expense decreased by $17,000 to $1.13 million in the current quarter, compared to $1.14 million reported in last year’s second quarter. The Company is focused on controlling non-interest expense in the current difficult operating environment. Compensation and benefits declined by $15,000 due in part to a reduction in the bonus accrual and advertising costs decreased by $26,000 as the Company did not undertake as many promotions during the current quarter as compared to the year ago period. Offsetting these declines was an increase of $18,000 in data processing costs, primarily related to home banking and debit card activity, and an increase $10,000 in professional fee expenses relating to public company matters.
Income Taxes - The Company recorded an income tax expense of $6,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 compared to an income tax expense of $24,000 in the year ago quarter. The prior year’s tax expense was positively impacted by the recognition of approximately $35,000 in low-income housing tax credits. No low-income housing tax credit was recorded in the current quarter due to insufficient book taxable income to offset, however, if in future quarters, sufficient book taxable income is evident, the tax credits will be utilized which will have the effect of lowering the effective tax rate.
Comparison of the Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2007 and 2006
General - Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $67,000, or $.06 per diluted share, compared to net income of $404,000, or $.39 per diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The decrease in earnings is primarily due to a decline net interest income of $358,000 as well as a loss of $94,000 on the disposition and write-down of other real estate owned properties for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to a gain of $35,000 on other real estate owned properties for the 2006 period. These decreases in income were offset by both lower provisions for loan losses and income taxes.
Interest income - Total interest income increased by $200,000, or 4.1%, to $5.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007. This increase was the result of an increase of $4.1 million in the average balance of interest-earning assets to $159.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $155.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and, to a lesser extent, an increase in the average yield on interest-earning assets to 6.34% for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from 6.26% for the same period in 2006. The increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets was primarily due to increases in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits, which increased by $3.5 million between the periods and, to a lesser extent, by an increase of $1.1 million in loans receivable.
Interest income on loans receivable increased $104,000, or 2.2%, to $4.7 million for the current six month period compared to the same period in 2006. The increase in interest income on loans was the result of the aforementioned $1.1 million increase in the average balance of loans receivable as well as an increase in average yield to 6.47% for the six months ended June 30, 2007, from 6.37% for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The average yield on loans receivable was negatively impacted in the 2007 period by an increase in the allowance for uncollected interest on non-performing loans, which reduced interest income by $81,000, or 11 basis points, from the prior year’s period. Interest income on mortgage-backed securities decreased by $11,000 due to a decrease in the average balance of the portfolio. Interest income on the investment portfolio increased by $9,000 due to the overall increase in short-term rates between the periods. Interest income on interest-bearing cash deposits increased by $103,000, or 134%, to $180,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 from $77,000 in the same period for 2006. This increase was primarily due to the aforementioned $3.5 million increase in the average balance of cash maintained in interest-bearing deposits as well as a 75 basis point increase in the average yield on interest-bearing deposits to 5.05% for the 2007 period compared to 4.30% for the prior year period.
Interest Expense - Total interest expense increased by $558,000, or 20.6%, to $3.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $2.7 million for the same period in 2006. This increase reflected an increase in the weighted average interest rates that were paid on deposit accounts, and, to a lesser extent, an increase in the average interest rates that were paid on borrowed money, which together resulted in an overall increase of 60 basis points in the cost of average interest-bearing liabilities to 4.09% for the six months ended June 30, 2007, from 3.49% for the same period in 2006. Average interest-bearing liabilities also rose by $4.6 million to $159.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $155.2 million for the same period in 2006.
Interest expense on deposits increased by $296,000, or 15.5%, to $2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The increase reflected a 58 basis point increase in the average rate paid on deposits to 3.61% for the six months ended June 30, 2007, from 3.03% for the same period in 2006. This increase was offset by a $4.1 million decrease in average interest-bearing deposits to $122.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, from $126.5 million for the same period in 2006 The increase in net interest expense also is attributable to the continuing shift of funds out of lower cost core deposits, including money market accounts, and into higher rate certificates of deposit.
Interest expense on borrowings increased by $263,000, or 33.0%, to $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $797,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The average balance of borrowings, including the Company’s subordinated debentures, increased by $8.7 million to $37.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, from $28.7 million for the same period in 2006. The increase in borrowings between the periods was used in part to fund the $4.1 million decline in average deposit balances between the two periods as well as to fund the $1.1 million increase in average loans receivable. The average cost of borrowed funds also increased by 11 basis points to 5.67% in the 2007 period from 5.56% in the same period in 2006. During the first quarter of 2007, the Company repaid its $5.0 million trust preferred issue and replaced it with a new $3.0 million offering at a reduced interest rate and a $2.0 million borrowing that is scheduled to mature annually.
Provision for Loan Losses - Based on management’s assessment for the adequacy of the loan loss reserve, the Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $55,000 during the six month period ended June 30, 2007 as compared to a $154,000 provision in the prior year period. There were no changes in estimation method or assumptions that impacted the provision for loan losses during the quarter. The prior year period includes the $75,000 of additional provision, discussed above, in establishing the aforementioned loan loss reserve against a non-residential loan. Net loan charge-offs for the six months ended June 30, 2007 (exclusive of the aforementioned $249,000 loan loss recovery), amounted to $27,000, including $7,000 in one-to-four family residential loans and the balance in consumer loans. Net loan charge-offs for the six months ended June 30, 2006 were $32,000, including $26,000 in one-to-four family residential loans and the balance in consumer loans.
Management believes that the total general loan loss allowance of $963,000 on total loans of $144.6 million at June 30, 2007 is adequate to cover probable accrued losses given the area economic conditions, the level of impaired and non-performing loans, and the composition of the loan portfolio. At June 30, 2007, the Company was aware of no regulatory directives that the Bank make additional provisions for losses on loans. Although the Bank believes it maintains its allowance for loan losses at a level that it considers adequate, there can be no assurance that future losses will not exceed estimated amounts or that additional provisions for loan losses will not be required in the future.
Non-Interest Income - Non-interest income decreased $287,000, or 34.8%, to $538,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to $825,000 for the same period in 2006. The decrease in non-interest income was primarily due to lower service fee income of $89,000 relating to the accounts receivable programs due to decreased volumes from those accounts serviced by the Bank as well as those accounts serviced by others, lower deposit related fee income of $28,000, primarily from the NOW account overdraft protection program due to lower volumes of overdraft activity and reduced loan related fee income of $27,000, primarily due to a slowdown in refinance activity resulting in smaller loan release and miscellaneous fees. The Company also recorded a loss of $94,000 on the disposition and write-down of other real estate owned properties for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to a gain of $35,000 for the same period in 2006. Income from real estate operations resulting from the sale of properties from the real estate held for development portfolio was $36,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $51,000 for the same period in 2006. In addition, the Company recorded a gain of $39,000 in the prior year period relating to a final distribution of proceeds from the sale of stock in the Bank’s data processing provider. Offsetting these declines was income of $10,000 in unrealized gains from trading account securities for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $15,000 in unrealized losses recorded in the same period in 2006, as the market price of the Company’s portfolio of small thrift and community bank stocks rose due to the overall increase in financial institution stock prices. The Company also reported a lower loss of $27,000 in the current period compared to a loss of $36,000 in the same period in 2006, related to an investment in a low-income housing joint venture.
Non-Interest Expense - Non-interest expense decreased by $88,000 to $2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to $2.3 million in the same period in 2006. The decrease resulted primarily from decreased staffing costs of $46,000 due to a reduction in the bonus accrual and decreased advertising costs of $40,000 as the Company did not undertake as many promotions during the current period as compared to the 2006 period.
Income Taxes - The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $8,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to a tax expense of $112,000 in the year ago period. The current period tax benefit includes a $7,000 refund as a result of amending a prior years’ income tax return as well as a $1,000 benefit generated by favorable permanent tax adjustments. The prior year’s tax expense was positively impacted by the recognition of approximately $70,000 in low-income housing tax credits. No low-income housing tax credit was recorded in the 2007 period due to no book taxable income to offset, however, if in future periods, sufficient book taxable income is evident, the tax credits will be utilized which will have an effect of lowering the effective tax rate.
Regulation and Supervision
Capital Standards
As a federally chartered savings bank, the Bank’s deposits are insured up to the applicable limits by the Federal Deposits Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) of Indianapolis, which is one of the twelve regional banks comprising the FHLB system. The Bank is regulated by the Office of Thrift Supervision (“OTS”) and the FDIC. The Bank is further regulated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System as to reserves required to be maintained against deposits and certain other matters. Such regulation and supervision establishes a comprehensive framework of activities in which an institution can engage and is intended primarily for the protection of the insurance fund and depositors. The regulatory structure also gives the regulatory authorities extensive discretion in connection with their supervisory and enforcement activities. Any change in such regulation, whether by the OTS, the FDIC or Congress could have a material impact on the Company and its operations.
Savings associations must meet three capital requirements: core and tangible capital to total assets ratios as well as a regulatory capital to total risk-weighted assets ratio.
Core Capital Requirement
The core capital requirement, or the required “leverage limit”, currently requires a savings institution to maintain core capital of not less than 3% of adjusted total assets. For the Bank, core capital generally includes common stockholders’ equity (including retained earnings), and minority interests in the equity accounts of fully consolidated subsidiaries, less intangibles other than certain servicing rights. Investments in and advances to subsidiaries engaged in activities not permissible for national banks are also required to be deducted in computing core total capital.
Tangible Capital Requirement
Under OTS regulation, savings institutions are required to meet a tangible capital requirement of 1.5% of adjusted total assets. Tangible capital is defined as core capital less any intangible assets, plus purchased mortgage servicing rights in an amount includable in core capital.
Risk-Based Capital Requirement
The risk-based capital requirement provides that savings institutions maintain total capital equal to not less than 8% of total risk-weighted assets. For purposes of the risk-based capital computation, total capital is defined as core capital, as defined above, plus supplementary capital, primarily general loan loss reserves (limited to a maximum of 1.25% of total risk-weighted assets.)

The following table sets forth the amounts and categories of non-performing assets in the Company’s portfolio. Loans are reviewed monthly and any loan whose collectivity is doubtful is placed on non-accrual status. Loans are placed on non-accrual status when principal and interest is 90 days or more past due, unless, in the judgment of management, the loan is well collateralized and in the process of collection. Interest accrued and unpaid at the time a loan is placed on non-accrual status is charged against interest income. Subsequent payments are either applied to the outstanding principal balance or recorded as interest income, depending on the assessment of the ultimate collectivity of the loan. Restructured loans include troubled debt restructuring (which involved forgiving a portion of interest principal on any loans or making loans at a rate materially less than the market).

| | | | | | | |
Total as a percentage of total assets | | | 1.94 | % | | 2.06 | % |
Non-performing assets decreased during the past six months, totaling $3.38 million or 1.94% of total assets at June 30, 2007 compared to $3.76 million or 2.06% of total assets at December 31, 2006. The decrease in the six month period related to a paid off $1.1 million multi-unit residential construction loan located in Merrillville, Indiana. This decline in total non-performing assets was partially offset by a $532,000 loan for developing real estate in Greenwood, Indiana and $260,000 in boat loans in Northwest, Indiana.
For the six month period ended June 30, 2007, gross interest which would have been recorded had the non-accruing loans been current in accordance with their original terms amounted to $120,000.
At June 30, 2007, the Bank had $404,000 of other real estate owned, which consisted of a commercial retail property located in Highland, Indiana. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Bank accomplished, through aggressive marketing efforts, the disposition of $777,000 of single-family real estate owned properties.
In addition to the non-performing assets set forth in the table above, as of June 30, 2007, there were no loans with respect to which known information about the possible credit problems of the borrowers or the cash flows of the security properties have caused management to have concerns as to the ability of the borrowers to comply with present loan repayment terms and which may result in the future inclusion of such items in the non-performing asset categories.
Management has considered the Company’s non-performing and “of concern” assets in establishing its allowance for loan losses.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company’s principal sources of funds are cash dividends paid by the Bank and liquidity generated by investments or borrowings. The Company’s principal uses of funds are cash dividends to shareholders as well as investment security purchases and stock repurchases.
The Bank’s principal sources of funds are deposits, advances from the FHLB of Indianapolis, principal repayments on loans and mortgage-backed securities, proceeds from the sale or maturity of investment securities and funds provided by operations. While scheduled loan and mortgage-backed securities amortization and maturing investment securities are a relatively predictable source of funds, deposit flows and loan and mortgage-backed securities prepayments are greatly influenced by economic conditions, the general level of interest rates and competition. The Bank utilizes particular sources of funds based on comparative costs and availability. The Bank generally manages the pricing of its deposits to maintain a steady deposit balance, but has from time to time decided to increase rates on deposits, and when necessary, to supplement deposits with longer term and/or less expensive alternative sources of funds in order to achieve a desired funding level.
Recent Developments
On July 25, 2007 the Company declared a cash dividend of $.09 per share, payable on August 22, 2007 to shareholders of record on August 8, 2007.
Item 3. Control and Procedures
The Company has adopted disclosure controls and procedures designed to facilitate the Company’s financial reporting. The disclosure controls currently consist of communications between the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer and each department head to identify any new transactions, events, trends or contingencies which may be material to the Company’s operations. In addition, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Audit Committee and independent accountants meet on a quarterly basis and discuss the Company’s material accounting policies. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer has evaluated the effectiveness of these interim disclosure controls as of the end of the period covered by this report and found them to be adequate.
The Company maintains internal control over financial reporting. There have not been any significant changes in such internal control over financial reporting in the last quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
