(1)       BASIS OF PRESENTATION, RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Basis of Presentation:

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Oconee Federal Financial Corp., which include the accounts of its wholly owned subsidiary Oconee Federal Savings and Loan Association (the “Association”) (referred to herein as “the Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated during consolidation. The Company is majority owned (74.36%(74.49%) by Oconee Federal, MHC. These financial statements do not include the transactions and balances of Oconee Federal, MHC.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of March 31,September 30, 2021 and June 30, 20202021 and the results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods ended March 31,September 30, 2021 and 2020. All interim amounts are unaudited, and the results of operations for the interim periods herein are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the year ending June 30, 20212022 or any other period. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2020.2021.

Reclassifications:

Certain amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. The reclassifications had no effect on net income or shareholders’ equity as previously reported.

Cash Flows:

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, federal funds sold, overnight interest-earning deposits and amounts due from other depository institutions.

Use of Estimates:

To prepare financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management makes estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and the disclosures provided, and actual results could differ.

Risks and Uncertainties:

The novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic has adversely impacted global commercial activity and contributed to significant declines and volatility in financial markets. The COVID-19 pandemic and government responses continue to disrupt global supply chains and adversely impact many industries. The pandemic may continue to have a material adverse impact on economic and market conditions. The federal banking agencies have encouraged financial institutions to prudently work with affected borrowers and legislation has been passed to provide relief from reporting loan classifications due to modifications related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Certain industries have been particularly hard-hit, including the travel and hospitality industry, the restaurant industry and the retail industry. The spread of the coronavirus has caused us to modify our business practices with regard to interactions of employees and customers. We may take further actions as may be required by government authorities or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers and business partners.

The rapid development and fluidity of this situation precludes any prediction as to the ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic with regard to capital, liquidity, loan loss reserves, etc. Nevertheless, the pandemic presents uncertainty and risk with respect to the Company, its performance, and its financial results.

Issued in November 2019, ASU 2019-10 provides guidance to defer the effective dates for private companies, not-for-profit organizations, and certain smaller reporting companies (such as the Company) applying standards on current expected credit losses (CECL), derivatives, hedging and leases.

 (2)NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS (continued)

ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”. Issued in June 2016, ASU 2016-13 provides financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments that are not accounted for at fair value through net income, including loans held for investment, held-to-maturity debt securities, trade and other receivables, net investment in leases and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. ASU 2016-13 requires that financial assets measured at amortized cost be presented at the net amount expected to be collected, through an allowance for credit losses that is deducted from the amortized cost basis. The amendments in ASU 2016-13 eliminate the probable incurred loss recognition in current GAAP and reflect an entity’s current estimate of all expected credit losses. The measurement of expected credit losses is based upon historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the financial assets. For purchased financial assets with a more-than-insignificant amount of credit deterioration since origination (“PCD assets”) that are measured at amortized cost, the initial allowance for credit losses is added to the purchase price rather than being reported as a credit loss expense. Subsequent changes in the allowance for credit losses on PCD assets are recognized through the statement of income as a credit loss expense. Credit losses relating to available-for-sale debt securities will be recorded through an allowance for credit losses rather than as a direct write-down to the security. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company has determined that it will continue to prepare its credit loss allowance internally. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-13 on its consolidated financial statements. In November 2019, the FASB issued guidance delaying the implementation schedule and allowing certain entities, including smaller reporting companies (such as the Company) to adopt ASU 2016-13 in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those years.

There have been no accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies during this quarter that are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of standards previously issued and not yet effective, and has no changes in its assessment since filing the Annual Report on Form 10-K.

(3)EARNINGS PER SHARE (“EPS”)

(3)EARNINGS PER SHARE (“EPS”)

 

Basic EPS is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and is adjusted for ESOP shares not yet committed to be released. Unvested restricted stock awards, which contain rights to non-forfeitable dividends, are considered participating securities and the two-class method of computing basic and diluted EPS is applied. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock, such as outstanding stock options, were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the Company. Diluted EPS is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding to include the effect of contracts or securities exercisable (such as stock options) or which could be converted into common stock, if dilutive, using the treasury stock method. The factors used in the earnings per common share computation follow:

The Company evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairments (“OTTI”) at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. The Company considers the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than amortized cost and the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer. Additionally, the Company considers its intent to sell or whether it will be more likely than not it will be required to sell the security prior to the security’s anticipated recovery in fair value. In analyzing an issuer’s financial condition, the Company may consider whether the securities are issued by federal Government agencies, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred, and the results of reviews of the issuer’s financial condition.

 

None of the unrealized losses at March 31,September 30, 2021 were recognized into net income for the three or nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2021 because the issuers’ bonds are of high credit quality, management does not intend to sell and it is more likely than not that management will not be required to sell the securities prior to their anticipated recovery, and the decline in fair value is largely due to changes in interest rates. The fair value of these securities is expected to recover as they approach their maturity date or reset date. None of the unrealized losses at June 30, 20202021 were recognized as having OTTI during the year ended June 30, 2020.2021.

COVID-19 Loan Modifications:

In light of recent disruptions in economic conditions caused by COVID-19, the financial regulators have issued guidance encouraging banks to work constructively with borrowers affected by the virus in our community. This guidance provides that the agencies will not criticize financial institutions that mitigate credit risk through prudent actions consistent with safe and sound practices. Included in the table above are $12,610 in loans that were modified to defer principal payments or principal and interest payments from three to six months based on the affected borrower’s request and need for COVID-19 financial relief. All loans modified for COVID-19 financial relief were current at the time of modification. Of this amount, there were $8,950 in one-to-four family loans, $3,256 in non-residential loans and $404 in multi-family loans. Section 4013 of the CARES Act, “Temporary Relief from Troubled Debt Restructurings,” which was extended by the Consolidated Appropriations Act for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2021, provides banks the option to temporarily suspend certain requirements under ASC 340-10 troubled debt restructuring classifications for a limited period of time to account for the effects of COVID-19. The Federal Reserve and the other banking agencies and regulators have also issued a joint statement encouraging banks to work prudently with borrowers and to describe the agencies’ interpretations of how accounting rules under ASC 310-40 apply to certain COVID-19 related modifications. We have not considered any of the COVID-19 related modifications performed to date to be troubled debt restructurings. As of March 31, 2021, $11,669 of such loans were current and $941 were 30 days or more past due. As of March 31, 2021, $12,267 of these are no longer in deferral.

Troubled Debt Restructurings:

 

At March 31,September 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020,2021, total loans that have been modified as troubled debt restructurings were $1,699$1,622 and $1,985,$1,661, respectively, which consisted of one non-residential real estate loan and three one-to-four family first lien loans at March 31,September 30, 2021 and two non-residential real estate loans and four one-to-four family first lien loans at June 30, 2020. There was no specific allowance for loss established for these loans at March 31, 2021 or June 30, 2020.2021.  Additionally, there were no commitments to lend any additional amounts on any loan after the modification. No loans have been modified as troubled debt restructurings during the ninethree months ended March 31,September 30, 2021. No loans modified as troubled debt restructurings during the twelve months ended March 31,September 30, 2021 have defaulted since restructuring. All of these loans are on nonaccrual at March 31,September 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020.2021. At March 31,September 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020, $1,1342021, $1,589 and $1,774,$1,107, respectively, were individually evaluated for impairment.

 

Allowance for Loan Loss:

 

There have been no changes to our allowance for loan loss methodology during the quarter ended March 31,September 30, 2021. We have assessed the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the allowance for loan loss using the information that is available and have made adjustments to certain qualitative factors in our model in response to the additional risks that weavailable. We believe have become present. After such adjustments to the calculation, we have determined that the recorded allowance is believed to be adequate at this time and as a result no additional provision for loan losses has been recorded during the quarter ended March 31,September 30, 2021. However, the rapid development and fluidity of this pandemic precludes any prediction as to the ultimate material adverse impact of the COVID-19 outbreak. We will continue to review and make adjustments as may be necessary as we move through the pandemic related quarantine and the country continues to fully reopen.necessary. To the best of our knowledge, we have recorded all losses that are both probable and reasonably estimable for the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2021 and March 31,September 30, 2020.

Loan Grades:

The Company utilizes a grading system whereby all loans are assigned a grade based on the risk profile of each loan. Loan grades are determined based on an evaluation of relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. All loans, regardless of size, are analyzed and are given a grade based upon the management’s assessment of the ability of borrowers to service their debts.

Pass: Loan assets of this grade conform to a preponderance of our underwriting criteria and are acceptable as a credit risk, based upon the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor. Loans in this category also include loans secured by liquid assets and secured loans to borrowers with unblemished credit histories.

Pass-Watch: Loan assets of this grade represent our minimum level of acceptable credit risk. This grade may also represent obligations previously rated “Pass”, but with significantly deteriorating trends or previously rated.

Special Mention: Loan assets of this grade have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution’s credit position at some future date.

Substandard: Loan assets of this grade are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the 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.

Portfolio Segments:

One-to-four family: One-to-four family residential loans consist primarily of loans secured by first or second deeds of trust on primary residences, and are originated as adjustable-rate or fixed-rate loans for the construction, purchase or refinancing of a mortgage. These loans are collateralized by owner-occupied properties located in the Company’sCompany's market area. The Company currently originates residential mortgage loans for our portfolio with loan-to-value ratios of up to 80%80% for traditional owner-occupied homes.

For traditional homes, the Company may originate loans with loan-to-value ratios in excess of 80%80% if the borrower obtains mortgage insurance or provides readily marketable collateral. The Company may make exceptions for special loan programs that we offer. The Company also originates residential mortgage loans for non-owner-occupied homes with loan-to-value ratios of up to 80%80%.

The Company historically originated residential mortgage loans with loan-to-value ratios of up to 75% for manufactured or modular homes. The Company no longer offers residential mortgage loans for manufactured or modular homes as of 2014. However, renewals of existing performing credits that meet the Company’s underwriting requirements will be considered. The Company requires lower loan-to-value ratios for manufactured and modular homes because such homes tend to depreciate over time. Manufactured or modular homes must be permanently affixed to a lot to make them more difficult to move without the Company’s permission. Such homes must be “de-titled” by the State of South Carolina or Georgia so that they are taxed and must be transferred as residential homes rather than vehicles. The Company also obtains a mortgage on the real estate to which such homes are affixed.

Multi-family: Multi-family real estate loans generally have a maximum term of five years with a 30 year amortization period and a final balloon payment and are secured by properties containing five or more units in the Company’sCompany's market area. These loans are generally made in amounts of up to 75%75% of the lesser of the appraised value or the purchase price of the property with an appropriate projected debt service coverage ratio. The Company’sCompany's underwriting analysis includes considering the borrower’sborrower's expertise and requires verification of the borrower’sborrower's credit history, income and financial statements, banking relationships, independent appraisals, references and income projections for the property. The Company generally obtains personal guarantees on these loans.

Multi-family real estate loans generally present a higher level of risk than loans secured by one-to-four family residences. This greater risk is due to several factors, including the concentration of principal in a limited number of loans and borrowers, the effects of general economic conditions on income-producing properties and the increased difficulty of evaluating and monitoring these types of loans. Furthermore, the repayment of loans secured by multi-family residential real estate is typically dependent upon the successful operation of the related real estate project.

Home Equity: The Company offers home equity loans and lines of credit secured by first or second deeds of trust on primary residences in our market area. The Company’s home equity loans and lines of credit are limited to an 80%80% loan-to-value ratio (including all prior liens). Standard residential mortgage underwriting requirements are used to evaluate these loans. The Company offers adjustable-rate and fixed-rate options for these loans with a maximum term of 10 years. The repayment terms on lines of credit are interest only monthly with principle due at maturity. Home equity loans have a more traditional repayment structure with principal and interest due monthly. The maximum term on home equity loans is 10 years with an amortization schedule not exceed 20 years.

Nonresidential Real Estate: Nonresidential loans include those secured by real estate mortgages on churches, owner-occupied and non-owner-occupied commercial buildings of various types, retail and office buildings, hotels, and other business and industrial properties. The nonresidential real estate loans that the Company originates generally have terms of five to 20 years with amortization periods up to20 years. The maximum loan-to-value ratio of our nonresidential real estate loans is generally 75%75%.

Loans secured by nonresidential real estate generally are larger than one-to-four family residential loans and involve greater credit risk. Nonresidential real estate loans often involve large loan balances to single borrowers or groups of related borrowers. Repayment of these loans depends to a large degree on the results of operations and management of the properties securing the loans or the businesses conducted on such property, and may be affected to a greater extent by adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy in general, including the current adverse conditions. Our nonresidential real estate lending includes a significant amount of loans to churches. Because a church’s financial stability often depends on donations from congregation members rather than income from business operations, repayment may be affected by economic conditions that affect individuals located both in our market area and in other market areas with which we are not as familiar. In addition, due to the unique nature of church buildings and properties, the real estate securing church loans may be less marketable than other nonresidential real estate.

The Company considers a number of factors in originating nonresidential real estate loans. The Company evaluates the qualifications and financial condition of the borrower, including credit history, cash flows, the applicable business plan, the financial resources of the borrower, the borrower’sborrower's experience in owning or managing similar property and the borrower’sborrower's payment history with the Company and other financial institutions. In evaluating the property securing the loan, the factors the Company considers include the net operating income of the mortgaged property before debt service and depreciation, the ratio of the loan amount to the appraised value of the mortgaged property and the debt service coverage ratio (the ratio of net operating income to debt service). For church loans, the Company also considers the length of time the church has been in existence, the size and financial strength of the denomination with which it is affiliated, attendance figures and growth projections and current operating budgets. The collateral underlying all nonresidential real estate loans is appraised by outside independent appraisers approved by our board of directors. Personal guarantees may be obtained from the principals of nonresidential real estate borrowers, and in the case of church loans, guarantees from the applicable denomination may be obtained.borrowers.

Agricultural: These loans are secured by farmland and related improvements in the Company’s market area. These loans generally have terms offive to 20 years with amortization periods up to 20 years. The maximum loan-to-value ratio of these loans is generally 75%75%. The Company is managing a small number of these loans in our portfolio. We continue to closely monitor our existing relationships.

Loans secured by agricultural real estate generally are larger than one-to-four family residential loans and involve greater credit risk. Agricultural real estate loans often involve large loan balances to single borrowers or groups of related borrowers. Repayment of these loans depends to a large degree on the results of operations and management of the properties securing the loans or the businesses conducted on such property, and may be affected to a greater extent by adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy in general, including the current adverse conditions.

Construction and Land: The Company makes construction loans to individuals for the construction of their primary residences and to commercial businesses for their real estate needs. These loans generally have maximum terms of twelve months,months, and upon completion of construction convert to conventional amortizing mortgage loans. Residential construction loans have rates and terms comparable to one-to-four family residential mortgage loans that the Company originates. Commercial construction loans have rate and terms comparable to commercial loans that we originate. During the construction phase, the borrower generally pays interest only. Generally, the maximum loan-to-value ratio of our owner-occupied construction loans is 80%80%. Residential construction loans are generally underwritten pursuant to the same guidelines used for originating permanent residential mortgage loans. Commercial construction loans are generally underwritten pursuant to the same guidelines used for originating commercial loans.

The Company also makes interim construction loans for nonresidential properties. In addition, the Company occasionally makes loans for the construction of homes “on"on speculation," but the Company generally permits a borrower to have only two such loans at a time. These loans generally have a maximum term of eight months, and upon completion of construction convert to conventional amortizing nonresidential real estate loans. These construction loans have rates and terms comparable to permanent loans secured by property of the type being constructed that we originate. Generally, the maximum loan-to-value ratio of these construction loans is 85%85%.

Commercial and Industrial Loans: Commercial and industrial loans are offered to businesses and professionals in the Company’s market area. These loans generally have short and medium terms on both a collateralized and uncollateralized basis. The structure of these loans are largely determined by the loan purpose and collateral. Sources of collateral can include a lien on furniture, fixtures, equipment, inventory, receivables and other assets of the company. A UCC-1 is typically filed to perfect our lien on these assets.

Commercial and industrial loans and leases typically are underwritten on the basis of the borrower’s or lessee’s ability to make repayment from the cash flow of its business and generally are collateralized by business assets. As a result, such loans and leases involve additional complexities, variables and risks and require more thorough underwriting and servicing than other types of loans and leases.

Within this category for the ninethree months ended March 31,September 30, 2021 and the year ended June 30, 20202021 are PPP loans that were authorized under the CARES Act. PPP loans are originated by the Association, are 100% guaranteed by the SBA and qualify to be forgiven based on certain criteria as determined by the SBA. The Association received a fee, with the percentage depending on the size of the loan, for originating these loans and earns 1%1% on the outstanding balance for the term of the loans, the maximum of which is five years unless forgiven sooner by the SBA. For the three months ended September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, $33 and $22 of PPP loan fees were recognized in income, respectively. As of March 31,September 30, 2021 $4.2 million$5,274 of the original $7.0 million$7,654 of PPP loans have been forgiven.forgiven, with a remaining amount of $69 in deferred fees outstanding.

Consumer and Other Loans: The Company offers installment loans for various consumer purposes, including the purchase of automobiles, boats, and for other legitimate personal purposes. The maximum terms of consumer loans is 18 months for unsecured loans and 18 to 60 months for loans secured by a vehicle, depending on the age of the vehicle. The Company generally only extends consumer loans to existing customers or their immediate family members, and these loans generally have relatively low balances.

Consumer loans may entail greater credit risk than residential mortgage loans, particularly in the case of consumer loans that are unsecured or are secured by rapidly depreciable assets, such as automobiles. In addition, consumer loan collections are dependent on the borrower’sborrower's continuing financial stability, and thus are more likely to be affected by adverse personal circumstances. Furthermore, the application of various federal and state laws, including bankruptcy and insolvency laws, may limit the amount which can be recovered on such loans.

(7)          FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values:

 

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

 

Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

 

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

 

Investment Securities:

 

The fair values for investment securities are determined by quoted market prices, if available (Level 1). For securities where quoted prices are not available, fair values are calculated based on market prices of similar securities (Level 2). For securities where quoted prices or market prices of similar securities are not available, fair values are calculated using discounted cash flows or other market indicators (Level 3).

(Amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)

Impaired Loans:

 

The fair value of impaired loans with specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses is generally based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are typically significant and result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. Non-real estate collateral may be valued using an appraisal, net book value per the borrower’s financial statements, or aging reports, adjusted or discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of the valuation, and management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and client’s business, resulting in a Level 3 fair value classification. Impaired loans are evaluated on a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly. There were no impaired loans with specific allocations at September 30, 2021 or June 30, 2021.

(7)          FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)

Loans Held for Sale:

Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value, which is evaluated on a pool-level basis. The fair value of loans held for sale is determined using quoted prices for similar assets, adjusted for specific attributes of that loan or other observable market data, such as outstanding commitments from third party investors and result in a Level 2 classification.

Loan Servicing Rights:   

Fair value is determined based on a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income. The valuation model utilizes assumptions that market participants would use in estimating future net servicing income and that can be validated against available market data and results in a Level 3 classification.

Real Estate Owned:

 

Assets acquired through or instead of loan foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. These assets are subsequently accounted for at lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Fair value is commonly based on recent real estate appraisals, which are updated no less frequently than annually. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. Real estate owned properties are evaluated on a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly.

 

Appraisals for both collateral-dependent impaired loans and real estate owned are performed by certified general appraisers (for commercial properties) or certified residential appraisers (for residential properties) whose qualifications and licenses have been reviewed and verified by the Company. Once received, management reviews the assumptions and approaches utilized in the appraisal as well as the overall resulting fair value in comparison with independent data sources such as recent market data or industry-wide statistics. On an annual basis, the Company compares the actual selling price of collateral that has been sold to the most recent appraised value to determine what additional adjustment should be made to the appraisal value to arrive at fair value.

 

Loan Servicing Rights:    Deposits:

 

Fair value is determined basedThe fair values disclosed for demand deposit, money market and savings accounts are equal to the amount payable on a valuation model that calculatesdemand at the present value of estimated future net servicing income. The valuation model utilizes assumptions that market participants would use in estimating future net servicing income and that can be validated against available market data and resultsreporting date resulting in a Level 32 classification. Fair values for fixed rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on certificates of deposit to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits resulting in a Level 2 classification.

FHLB Advances:

The fair values of the Company’s FHLB advances are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis based on the current borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements resulting in a Level 2 classification.

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

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements, which can be identified by the use of such words as estimate, project, believe, intend, anticipate, plan, seek, expect and similar expressions. These forward-looking statements include:

 

statements of our goals, intentions and expectations;

statements of our goals, intentions and expectations;

statements regarding our business plans and prospects and growth and operating strategies;

statements regarding the asset quality of our loan and investment portfolios; and

estimates of our risks and future costs and benefits.

 

These forward-looking statements are based on our current beliefs and expectations and are inherently subject to significant business, economic, and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control. In addition, these forward-looking statements are subject to assumptions with respect to future business strategies and decisions that are subject to change. We are under no duty to and do not take any obligation to update any forward-looking statements after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

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:

 

our ability to manage our operations in response to changes in economic conditions (including real estate values, loan demand, inflation, commodity prices and employment levels) nationally and in our market areas;

our ability to manage our operations nationally and in our market areas;

the social and economic effects of the COVID-19 or any other pandemic;

adverse changes in the financial industry, securities, credit and national and local real estate markets (including real estate values);

significant increases in our delinquencies and loan losses, including as a result of our inability to resolve classified assets, changes in the underlying cash flows of our borrowers, and management’s assumptions in determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses;

credit risks of lending activities, including changes in the level and trend of loan delinquencies and write-offs and in our allowance and provision for loan losses;

use of estimates for determining the fair value of certain of our assets, which may prove to be incorrect and result in significant declines in valuations;

increased competition among depository and other financial institutions;

our ability to attract and maintain deposits, including introducing new deposit products;

inflation and changes in interest rates generally, including changes in the relative differences between short term and long term interest rates and in deposit interest rates, that may affect our net interest margin and funding sources;

fluctuations in the demand for loans, which may be affected by the number of unsold homes, land and other properties in our market areas and by declines in the value of real estate in our market area;

declines in the yield on our assets resulting from the current low interest rate environment;

our ability to successfully implement our business strategies, including attracting and maintaining deposits and introducing new financial products;

risks related to high concentration of loans secured by real estate located in our market areas;

changes in the level of government support of housing finance;

the results of examinations by our regulators, including the possibility that our regulators may, among other things, require us to increase our reserve for loan losses, write down assets, change our regulatory capital position, limit our ability to borrow funds or maintain or increase deposits, or prohibit us from paying dividends, which could adversely affect our dividends and earnings;

our ability to enter new markets successfully and capitalize on growth opportunities;

changes in laws or government regulations or policies affecting financial institutions, which could result in, among other things, increased deposit insurance premiums and assessments, capital requirements (particularly the new capital regulations), regulatory fees and compliance costs and the resources we have available to address such changes;

changes in the ability of third-party providers to perform their obligations to us;

technological changes that may be more difficult or expensive than expected;

cyber-attacks, computer viruses and other technological risks that may breach the security of our websites or other systems to obtain unauthorized access to confidential information, destroy data or disable our systems;

our reliance on a small executive staff;

changes in our compensation and benefit plans, and our ability to retain key members of our senior management team and to address staffing needs to implement our strategic plan;

changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits;

Novel Coronavirus Pandemic (COVID-19)

 

The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted global commercial activity and contributed to significant declines and volatility in financial markets. The COVID-19 pandemic and government responses continue to disrupt global supply chains and adversely impact many industries. The pandemic may continue to have a material adverse impact on economic and market conditions. The federal banking agencies have encouraged financial institutions to prudently work with affected borrowers and legislation has been passed to provide relief from reporting loan classifications due to modifications related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Certain industries have been particularly hard-hit, including the travel and hospitality industry, the restaurant industry and the retail industry. The spread of the coronavirus has caused us to modify our business practices with regard to interactions of employees and customers. We may take further actions as may be required by government authorities or that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers and business partners.

 

The rapid development and fluidity of this situation precludes any prediction as to the ultimate material adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Nevertheless, the pandemic presents uncertainty and risk with respect to the Company,Oconee Federal Financial Corp., its performance, and its financial results. As a result we could be subject to any of the following additional risks, any of which could have a material, adverse effect on our business, financial condition, liquidity, and results of operations:

 

demand for our products and services may decline, making it difficult to grow assets and income;

demand for our products and services may decline, making it difficult to grow assets and income;

if the economy is unable to substantially and successfully stay open, and high levels of unemployment continue for an extended period of time, loan delinquencies, problem assets, and foreclosures may increase, resulting in increased charges and reduced income;

collateral for loans, especially real estate, may decline in value, which could cause loan losses to increase;

our allowance for loan losses may have to be increased if borrowers experience financial difficulties beyond forbearance periods, which will adversely affect our net income;

the net worth and liquidity of loan guarantors may decline, impairing their ability to honor commitments to us.

as the result of the decline in the Federal Reserve Board’s target federal funds rate to near 0%, the yield on our assets may decline to a greater extent than the decline in our cost of interest-bearing liabilities, reducing our net interest margin and spread and reducing net income;

a material decrease in net income or a net loss over several quarters could result in a decrease in the rate of our quarterly cash dividend,

limitations may be placed on our ability to foreclose on properties during the pandemic;

litigation, regulatory enforcement risk and reputation risk regarding our participation in the PPP and the risk that the SBA may not fund some or all PPP loan guarantees;

the occurrence of what management would deem to be a triggering event that could, under certain circumstances, cause management to perform impairment testing on our goodwill or core deposit and customer relationships intangibles that could result in an impairment charge being recorded for that period, that would adversely impact our results of operations and the ability of the Association to pay dividends to us;

our cyber security risks are increased as the result of an increase in the number of employees working remotely;

we rely on third party vendors for certain services and the unavailability of a critical service due to the COVID-19 outbreak could have an adverse effect on us; and

Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation premiums may increase if the agency experience additional resolution costs.

a material decrease in net income or a net loss over several quarters could result in a decrease in the rate of our quarterly cash dividend,

our cyber security risks are increased as the result of an increase in the number of employees working remotely;

we rely on third party vendors for certain services and the unavailability of a critical service due to the COVID-19 outbreak could have an adverse effect on us; and

Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation premiums may increase if the agency experience additional resolution costs.

 

Moreover, our future success and profitability substantially depends on the management skills of our executive officers and directors, many of whom have held officer and director positions with us for many years. The unanticipated loss or unavailability of key employees due to the outbreak could harm our ability to operate our business or execute our business strategy. We may not be successful in finding and integrating suitable successors in the event of key employee loss or unavailability.

 

Any one or a combination of the factors identified above could negatively impact our business, financial condition and results of operations and prospects.

Because of these and a wide variety of other uncertainties, our actual future results may be materially different from the results indicated by these forward-looking statements.

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 decreased by $427 thousand, or 4.7%, to $8.7 million for nine months ended March 31, 2021. Salaries and employee benefits increased $203 thousand due to routine increases. Occupancy and equipment decreased $170 thousand due to normal periodic fluctuations. Data processing increased $61 thousand due to routine upgrades and volume increases in the current period. Professional and supervisory fees decreased $72 thousand primarily due to reduced legal expenses. FDIC deposit insurance increased $90 thousand. The nine months ended March 31, 2021 is reflective of the standard FDIC assessed rate. The prior year period reflected an assessment credit received from FDIC as a result of the FDIC Deposit Insurance Fund Reserve Ratio exceeding 1.38% as of June 30, 2019, September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2019. Foreclosed asset expenses decreased $262 thousand. This is reflective of the nine months ended March 31, 2021 having $83 thousand in losses on sale of REO offset by $87 thousand in gains on sale of REO, whereas the nine months ended March 31, 2020 had $237 thousand in write downs and losses on sale of REO. The change in the value of the loan servicing portfolio decreased $206 thousand. The fair value of our loan servicing asset is subject to significant fluctuations as a result of changes in estimated and actual prepayment speeds and default rates and losses. Changes in all other noninterest expense items were due to normal periodic fluctuations.

Income Tax Expense. Tax expense increased $265 thousand, or 47.7%, to $821 thousand for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 from $556 thousand for the nine months ended March 31, 2020. This was primarily due to smaller permanent tax benefits being recognized during the nine months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2020, which were a result of fewer nonqualified stock options being exercised during the nine months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2020. Our effective income tax rate was 20.3% and 15.8% for the nine months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our primary sources of funds are deposits and the proceeds from principal and interest payments on loans and investment securities. 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. We generally manage the pricing of our deposits to be competitive within our market and to increase core deposit relationships.

 

Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term responsibility of management. Our liquidity monitoring process is designed to contend with changing economic situations, which would include the current COVID-19 pandemic. We have therefore not changed our daily or long-term liquidity management procedures. We adjust our investments in liquid assets based upon management’s assessment of (i) expected loan demand, (ii) expected deposit flows, (iii) yields available on interest-earning deposits and investment securities, and (iv) the objectives of our asset/liability management program. Excess liquid assets are invested generally in interest-earning overnight deposits, federal funds sold, and short and intermediate-term U.S. Treasury and Government sponsored agencies and mortgage-backed securities of short duration. If we require funds beyond our ability to generate them internally, we have credit available under a loan agreement with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta in the amount of 25% of total assets, as of March 31,September 30, 2021, or approximately $131.6$136.4 million as of that date, with a remaining availability of $126.6$131.5 million as of March 31,September 30, 2021.

 

Common Stock Dividends. On August 20, 2020, November 19, 2020 and February 25,July 22, 2021 the Company paid a $0.10 per share cash dividend on its common stock for a total of $1.7 million.$559 thousand.
