Emclaire Financial Corp

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

 

 

1.

Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation

 

Emclaire Financial Corp (the Corporation) is a Pennsylvania corporation and the holding company of The Farmers National Bank of Emlenton (the Bank). The Corporation provides a variety of financial services to individuals and businesses through its offices in western Pennsylvania and northern West Virginia. Its primary deposit products are checking, savings and term certificate accounts and its primary lending products are residential and commercial mortgages, commercial business loans and consumer loans.

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries,subsidiary, the Bank and the Title Company.Bank. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for the interim periods include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, which are necessary, in the opinion of management, to fairly reflect the Corporation’s consolidated financial position and results of operations. Additionally, these consolidated financial statements for the interim periods have been prepared in accordance with instructions for the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC’s) Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X and therefore do not include all information or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). For further information, refer to the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2019, as contained in the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 filed with the SEC.

 

The balance sheet at December 31, 2019 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

 

The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The results of operations for interim quarterly or year-to-date periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year or any other period. Certain amounts previously reported may have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s financial statement presentation.

 

The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has negatively impacted the global economy, disrupted global supply chains and increased unemployment levels. The resultingAlthough the temporary closure of many businesses and the implementation ofshelter-in place policies have eased, restrictions and social distancing and sheltering-in-place policies has and may continue to impact many of the Corporation’s customers. While the full effects of the pandemic still remain unknown, the Corporation is committed to supporting its customers, employees and communities during this difficult time. The Corporation has given hardship relief assistance to customers, including the consideration of various loan payment deferral and fee waiver options, and encourages customers to reach out for assistance to support their individual circumstances.  The pandemic could result in the recognition of credit losses in our loan portfolios and increases in our allowance for credit losses, particularly if businesses remain closed, the impact on the global economy worsens, or more customers draw on their lines of credit or seek additional loans to help finance their businesses. Similarly, because of changing economic and market conditions, we may be required to recognize impairments on securities, goodwill or other significant estimates.  The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our business, results of operations, and financial condition, as well as our regulatory capital and liquidity ratios, will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the scope and duration of the pandemic and actions taken by governmental authorities and other third parties in response to the pandemic.

 

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) was signed by the President of the United States. Certain provisions within the CARES Act encourage financial institutions to practice prudent efforts to work with borrowers impacted by COVID-19. Under these provisions, loan modifications deemed to be COVID-19-related would not be considered a troubled debt restructuring (TDR) if the loan was not more than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019 and the deferral was executed between March 1, 2020 and the earlier of 60 days after the date of termination of the COVID-19 national emergency or December 31, 2020. The banking regulators issued similar guidance, which also clarified that a COVID-19-related modification should not be considered a TDR if the borrower was current on payments at the time the underlying loan modification program was implemented and if the modification is considered to be short-term. Under these terms, as of March 31,September 30, 2020, the Corporation had processed payment deferrals for 76420 loans with an aggregate balance of $15.1$110.9 million. Through May 6,November 2, 2020, the number of deferrals increased to 39135 loans with an aggregate balance of $78.7 million.$28.6 million remained on deferral while 385 loans with an aggregate balance of $82.3 million have resumed normal repayment or paid off. The majority of these deferrals were generally 30 to 90 days in duration.  Included in the aggregate balance of loans remaining on deferral as of November 2, 2020, are 29 loans with an aggregate balance of $28.1 million for which the Corporation had granted a second deferral of up to 90 days in duration due to the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

Additionally, the Bank is a lender for the Small Business Administration's (SBA) Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), a program under the CARES Act, and other SBA, Federal Reserve or United States Treasury programs that have been created in response to the pandemic, and may be a lender for programs created in the future. These programs are new and their effects on the Corporation’s business are uncertain. Through May 6,September 30, 2020, the Bank had closed 470685 PPP loans amounting to $45.3$54.9 million under the allocation approved by Congress.

Earnings per Common Share

 

Basic earnings per common share (EPS) excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS includes the dilutive effect of additional potential common shares for assumed issuance of restricted stock.

 

The factors used in the Corporation’s earnings per common share computation follow:

Management evaluates debt securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic, market or other conditions warrant such evaluation. Consideration is given to: (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, (3) whether the market decline was affected by macroeconomic conditions and (4) whether the Corporation has the intent to sell the security or more likely than not will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If the Corporation intends to sell an impaired security, or if it is more likely than not the Corporation will be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery, the Corporation records an other-than-temporary loss in an amount equal to the entire difference between fair value and amortized cost. Otherwise, only the credit portion of the estimated loss on debt securities is recognized in earnings, with the other portion of the loss recognized in other comprehensive income.

 

There were 3736 debt securities in an unrealized loss position as of March 31,September 30, 2020, foursix of which were in an unrealized loss position for more than 12 months. Of these 3736 securities, 1516 were state and political subdivision securities, 11 were corporate securities, eight were mortgage-backed securities, sevensix were collateralized mortgage obligations (issued by U.S. government sponsored entities) and seventhree were state and political subdivisionmortgage-backed securities. The unrealized losses associated with these securities were not due to the deterioration in the credit quality of the issuer that would likely result in the non-collection of contractual principal and interest, but rather have been caused by a rise in interest rates from the time the securities were purchased. Based on that evaluation and other general considerations, and given that the Corporation’s current intention is not to sell any impaired securities and it is more likely than not it will not be required to sell these securities before the recovery of their amortized cost basis, the Corporation does not consider these debt securities with unrealized losses as of March 31,September 30, 2020 to be other-than-temporarily impaired.

Loans Receivable and Related Allowance for Loan Losses

Total loans, net

 $734,730  $695,348  $831,386  $695,348 

 

Included in total loans above are net deferred costs of $3.1$1.6 million and $2.6 million at March 31,September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

 

An allowance for loan losses (ALL) is maintained to absorb probable incurred losses from the loan portfolio. The ALL is based on management’s continuing evaluation of the risk characteristics and credit quality of the loan portfolio, assessment of current economic conditions, diversification and size of the portfolio, adequacy of collateral, past and anticipated loss experience and the amount of nonperforming loans.  While the Corporation has historically experienced strong trends in asset quality, as a result of the situation regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, management has recognized the need to incorporate factors into the allowance evaluation to help compensate for the effects of any credit deterioration due to the current economic situation.

 

Management reviews the loan portfolio on a quarterly basis using a defined, consistently applied process in order to make appropriate and timely adjustments to the ALL. When information confirms all or part of specific loans to be uncollectible, these amounts are promptly charged off against the ALL.

 

The allowance for loan losses is based on estimates and actual losses may vary from current estimates. Management believes that the granularity of the homogeneous pools and the related historical loss ratios and other qualitative factors, as well as the consistency in the application of assumptions, result in an ALL that is representative of the risk found in the components of the portfolio at any given date.

Loans Receivable and Related Allowance for Loan Losses (continued)

 

Troubled debt restructurings (TDR). The Corporation has certain loans that have been modified in order to maximize collection of loan balances. If, for economic or legal reasons related to the customer’s financial difficulties, management grants a concession compared to the original terms and conditions of the loan that it would not have otherwise considered, the modified loan is classified as a TDR. Concessions related to TDRs generally do not include forgiveness of principal balances. The Corporation generally does not extend additional credit to borrowers with loans classified as TDRs.

At March 31,September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Corporation had $354,000$340,000 and $409,000, respectively, of loans classified as TDRs, which are included in impaired loans above. The Corporation haddid not have any specific allowance allocated $2,000to these loans at September 30, 2020 and had $5,000 of specific allowance allocated for these loans at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively..

During the three and threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2020, the Corporation did not modify any loans as TDRs.  During the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2019, the Corporation did not modify any loans as TDRs. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Corporation modified the interest rate and extended the payment amortization on one commercial real estate loan with a recorded investment of $74,000.$73,000. At March 31,September 30, 2019, the Corporation did not have any specific allowance for loan losses allocated to this specific loan. 

Under the provisions of the CARES Act, as of March 31,September 30, 2020, the Corporation has granted modifications on 76420 loans with an aggregate balance of $15.1$110.9 million, representing 2.0%13.3% of gross outstanding loan balances.  As of September 30, 2020, hotel loans comprised $35.9 million, or 32.3%, of the total deferrals.  Through May 6,November 2, 2020, the number of modifications increased to 39135 loans with an aggregate balance of $78.7$28.6 million or 10.0%remained on deferral while 385 loans with an aggregate balance of $82.3 million of gross loans outstanding.outstanding, have resumed normal repayment or paid off.  Also, as of November 2, 2020, hotel loans comprised $23.3 million, or 81.2%, of the loans remaining on deferral.  The characteristics of these modifications are considered short-term and do not result in a reclassification of these loans to TDR status.

A loan is considered to be in payment defaultdefault once it is 30 days contractually past due under the modified terms. During the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Corporation did not have any loans which were modified as TDRs for which there was a payment default within twelve months following the modification.

Credit Quality Indicators. Management categorizes loans into risk categories based on 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.

Commercial real estate and commercial business loans not identified as impaired are evaluated as risk rated pools of loans utilizing a risk rating practice that is supported by a quarterly special asset review. In this review process, strengths and weaknesses are identified, evaluated and documented for each criticized and classified loan and borrower, strategic action plans are developed, risk ratings are confirmed and the loan’s performance status is reviewed.

 

Management has determined certain portions of the loan portfolio to be homogeneous in nature and assigns like reserve factors for the following loan pool types: residential real estate, home equity loans and lines of credit, and consumer installment and personal lines of credit.

 

The reserve allocation for risk rated loan pools is developed by applying the following factors:

 

Historic: Management utilizes a computer model to develop the historical net charge-off experience which is used to formulate the assumptions employed in the migration analysis applied to estimate losses in the portfolio. Outstanding balance and charge-off information are input into the model and historical loss migration rate assumptions are developed to apply to pass, special mention, substandard and doubtful risk rated loans. A twelve-quarter rolling weighted-average is utilized to estimate probable incurred losses in the portfolios.

 

Qualitative: Qualitative adjustment factors for pass, special mention, substandard and doubtful ratings are developed and applied to risk rated loans to allow for: quality of lending policies and procedures; national and local economic and business conditions; changes in the nature and volume of the portfolio; experiences, ability and depth of lending management; changes in trends, volume and severity of past due, nonaccrual and classified loans and loss and recovery trends; quality of loan review systems; concentrations of credit and other external factors.

Loans Receivable and Related Allowance for Loan Losses (continued)

 

Management uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

 

Pass: Loans classified as pass typically exhibit good payment performance and have underlying borrowers with acceptable financial trends where repayment capacity is evident. These borrowers typically would have a sufficient cash flow that would allow them to weather an economic downturn and the value of any underlying collateral could withstand a moderate degree of depreciation due to economic conditions.

 

Special Mention: Loans classified as special mention are characterized by potential weaknesses that could jeopardize repayment as contractually agreed. These loans may exhibit adverse trends such as increasing leverage, shrinking profit margins and/or deteriorating cash flows. These borrowers would inherently be more vulnerable to the application of economic pressures.

 

Substandard: Loans classified as substandard exhibit weaknesses that are well-defined to the point that repayment is jeopardized. Typically, the Corporation is no longer adequately protected by both the apparent net worth and repayment capacity of the borrower.

 

Doubtful: Loans classified as doubtful have advanced to the point that collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently ascertainable facts, conditions and value, is highly questionable or improbable.

 

The following table presents the classes of the loan portfolio summarized by the aggregate pass and the criticized categories of special mention, substandard and doubtful within the Corporation’s internal risk rating system as of March 31,September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

Loans Receivable and Related Allowance for Loan Losses (continued)

 

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 past due. As of September 30, 2020, the Corporation had made short-term modifications such as payment deferrals, fee waivers, extensions of repayment terms, or other delays in payment for borrowers.  Under the CARES Act, borrowers that are considered current are those that are less than 30 days past due on their contractual payments at the time a modification program is implemented.  As such, the modifications made under the CARES Act are not included in the Corporation's past due or nonaccrual loans as of September 30, 2020.  The following table presents the classes of the loan portfolio summarized by the aging categories of performing loans and nonperforming loans as of March 31,September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

Goodwill resulted from five acquisitions. Goodwill represents the excess of the total purchase price paid for the acquisitions over the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired, net of the fair value of the liabilities assumed. Goodwill is not amortized but is evaluated for impairment on an annual basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. Impairment exists when a reporting unit’s carrying value of goodwill exceeds its fair value. The Corporation has selected November 30 as the date to perform the annual impairment test. No goodwill impairment charges were recorded during 2019 or in the first threenine months of 2020.  Although the annual review of goodwill revealed no impairment consideration, based on current economic conditions related to COVID-19, management performed an interim qualitative assessment as of March 31,September 30, 2020.  Management concluded that goodwill was not impaired at this date.  While it is impossible to know the future impact of the evolving economic conditions, the impact could be material. 

 

The core deposit intangible asset, resulting from three acquisitions, is amortized over a weighted average estimated life of the related deposits and is not estimated to have a significant residual value. During the three and nine month periods ended March 31,September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, the Corporation recorded intangible amortization expense totaling $42,000$41,000 and $46,000.$124,000, respectively, compared to $44,000 and $134,000, respectively, for the same periods in 2019.

Stock Compensation Plan

 

In April 2014, the Corporation adopted the 2014 Stock Incentive Plan (the Plan), which was approved by shareholders and permits the grant of restricted stock awards and options to its directors, officers and employees for up to 176,866 shares of common stock. As of March 31,September 30, 2020, 19,833 shares of restricted stock and 88,433 stock options remain available for issuance under the Plan.

 

Incentive stock options, non-incentive or compensatory stock options and share awards may be granted under the Plan. The exercise price of each option shall at least equal the market price of a share of common stock on the date of grant and have a contractual term of ten years. Options shall vest and become exercisable at the rate, to the extent and subject to such limitations as may be specified by the Corporation. Compensation cost related to share-based payment transactions must be recognized in the financial statements with measurement based upon the fair value of the equity instruments issued.

 

At March 31,September 30, 2020, there were no options that were granted or outstanding under the Plan.

 

A summary of the status of the Corporation’s nonvested restricted stock awards as of March 31,September 30, 2020, and changes during the period then ended is presented below:

For the three and nine month periods ended March 31,September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Corporation recognized stock compensation expense of $112,000 and $90,000, respectively.$336,000, respectively, compared to $91,000 and $271,000, respectively, for the same periods in 2019.  As of March 31,September 30, 2020, there was $839,000$615,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the Plan. That cost is expected to be recognized over the next three years. It is the Corporation’s policy to issue shares on the vesting date for restricted stock awards. Unvested restricted stock awards do not receive dividends declared by the Corporation.

Fair Value

 

Management uses its best judgment in estimating the fair value of the Corporation’s financial instruments; however, there are inherent weaknesses in any estimation technique. Therefore, for substantially all financial instruments, the fair value estimates herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Corporation could have realized in a sale transaction or exit price on the date indicated. The estimated fair value amounts have been measured as of their respective year-endsperiod ends and have not been re-evaluated or updated for purposes of these financial statements subsequent to those respective dates. As such, the estimated fair values of these financial instruments subsequent to the respective reporting dates may be different than the amounts reported.

 

Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The Corporation used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate the fair value of the following assets:

 

Debt securities available-for-sale, equity securities – The fair value of all investment securities are based upon the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the security. If available, investment securities are determined by quoted market prices (Level 1). Level 1 includes U.S. Treasury, federal agency securities and certain equity securities. For investment securities where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are calculated based on market prices on similar securities (Level 2). Level 2 includes U.S. Government sponsored entities and agencies, mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, state and political subdivision securities and certain corporate debt securities. For investment securities where quoted prices or market prices of similar securities are not available, fair values are calculated by using unobservable inputs (Level 3) and may include certain corporate debt and equity securities held by the Corporation.

 

For assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the fair value measurements by level within the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

The Corporation’s policy is to transfer assets or liabilities from one level to another when the methodology to obtain the fair value changes such that there are more or fewer unobservable inputs as of the end of the reporting period. During the three and nine month periods ended March 31,September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Corporation had no transfers between levels.reclassified one corporate security from Level 3 to Level 2.  During the nine month period ended September 30, 2019, the Corporation reclassified one corporate security from Level 3 to Level 2.

Assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. The Corporation used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate the fair value of the following assets:

 

Impaired loans – At the time a loan is considered impaired, it is valued at the lower of cost or fair value. Impaired loans carried at fair value generally receive a specific allowance for loan losses. For collateral dependent loans, fair value is commonly based on 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 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. Non-real estate collateral may be valuedvalued 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 classification. Impaired loans are evaluated on a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly. As of March 31,September 30, 2020, the Corporation had one impaired commercial real estate loan carried at a fair value of $131,000, which consisted of the outstanding balance of $150,000 less a specific reserve of $19,000.  In addition, the Corporation had two impaired commercial business loans carried at a fair value of $40,000,$54,000, which consisted of the outstanding balance of $45,000,$69,000 less a specific reserve of $5,000.$15,000. As of December 31, 2019, the Corporation did not have any impaired loans carried at fair value measured using the fair value of collateral. During the three month periods ended March 31,September 30, 2020 and 2019,, there was no additional provision for loan losses recorded for impaired loans.  During the nine month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, there was additional provision for loans losses recorded for impaired loans of $24,000$31,000 and $63,000, respectively.

Other real estate owned (OREO) – Assets acquired through or instead of 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. Management’s ongoing review of appraisal information may result in additional discounts or adjustments to the valuation based upon more recent market sales activity or more current appraisal information derived from properties of similar type and/or locale. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. As of March 31,September 30, 2020, the Corporation had no OREO measured at fair value.value less costs to sell had a carrying amount of $34,000, which consisted of the outstanding balance of $68,000, less write-downs of $34,000.  As of December 31, 2019, OREO measured at fair value less costs to sell had a net carrying amount of $88,000, which consisted of the outstanding balance of $91,000, less write-downs of $3,000.  This property was sold during the first quarter of 2020.  During the three and nine month periodperiods ended March 31,September 30, 2020, there was no$25,000 and $56,000 of expense recorded expense associated with the write-down of OREO, compared to $21,000 forOREO. During the samethree and nine month periods ended September 30, 2019, there was no expense recorded associated with the write-down of OREO.  During the nine month period in ended September 30, 2019,. there was expense recorded of $35,000 associated with the write-down of OREO.

 

Appraisals for both collateral-dependent impaired loans and OREO are performed by certified general appraisers (for commercial properties) or certified residential appraisers (for residential properties) whose qualifications and licenses have been reviewed by the Corporation. 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 Corporation compares the actual selling price of OREO 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. The most recent analysis performed indicated that a discount of 10% should be applied.

This information should not be interpreted as an estimate of the fair value of the entire Corporation since a fair value calculation is only provided for a limited portion of the Corporation's assets and liabilities.  Due to a wide range of valuation techniques and the degree of subjectivity used in making the estimates, comparisons between the Corporation's disclosures and those of other companies may not be meaningful.

Regulatory Matters

 

Banks and bank holding companies are subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and, additionally for banks, prompt corrective action regulations, involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators. Failure to meet capital requirements can initiate regulatory action.

 

The final rules implementing Basel Committee on Banking Supervision’s capital guidelines for U.S. banks (BASEL III rules) became effective for the Bank on January 1, 2015 with full compliance with all of the requirements being phased in over a multi-year schedule, and fully phased in on January 1, 2019. Under the BASEL III rules, the Bank must hold a capital conservation buffer above the adequately capitalized risk-based capital ratios. The capital conservation buffer was phased in from 0.0% for 2015 to 2.50% in 2019. The capital conservation buffer for 2019 and subsequent periods is 2.50% and for 2018 was 1.875%.  Amounts recorded to accumulated other comprehensive income are not included in computing regulatory capital. Management believes as of March 31,September 30, 2020, the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which it was subject.

 

Prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications: well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. If adequately capitalized, regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits. If undercapitalized, capital distributions are limited, as is asset growth and expansion, and capital restoration plans are required. At March 31,September 30, 2020, the most recent regulatory notifications categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the institution's category.

 

The following table sets forth certain information concerning the Bank’s regulatory capital as of the dates presented. The capital adequacy ratios disclosed below are exclusive of the capital conservation buffer.

Revenue Recognition

 

On January 1, 2018, the Corporation adopted ASU 2014-09 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (Topic 606) and all subsequent ASUs that modified Topic 606. Interest income, net securities gains (losses) and bank-owned life insurance are not included within the scope of Topic 606. For the revenue streams in the scope of Topic 606, service charges on deposits and electronic banking fees, there are no significant judgments related to the amount and timing of revenue recognition. All of the Corporation's revenue from contracts with customers is recognized within noninterest income.

 

Service charges on deposits: The Corporation earns fees from its deposit customers for transaction-based, account maintenance and overdraft services. Transaction-based fees, which include services such stop payment charges, statement rendering and other fees, are recognized at the time the transaction is executed as that is the point in time the Corporation fulfills the customer's request. Account maintenance fees, which relate primarily to monthly maintenance, are earned over the course of a month, representing the period over which the Corporation satisfies the performance obligation. Overdraft fees are recognized at the point in time that the overdraft occurs. Service charges on deposits are withdrawn from the customer's account balance.

 

Electronic banking fees: The Corporation earns interchange and other ATM related fees from cardholder transactions conducted through the various payment networks. Interchange fees from cardholder transactions represent a percentage of the underlying transaction value and are recognized daily, concurrently with the transaction processing services provided to the cardholder. The gross amount of these fees are processed through noninterest income. Other fees, such a transaction surcharges and card replacement fees are withdrawn from the customer's account balance at the time of service.

 

The following table presents the Corporation's sources of noninterest income for the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2020 and 2019.

Leases

 

Effective January 1, 2019, the Corporation adopted ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842).  As of March 31,September 30, 2020, the Corporation leases real estate for five branch offices under various operating lease agreements. The lease agreements have maturity dates ranging from August 2025 to December 2056, including all extension periods. The Corporation has assumed that there are currently no circumstances in which the leases would be terminated before expiration.  The weighted average remaining life of the lease term for these leases was 12.84 was 12.57 years as of March 31,September 30, 2020 compared to 13.45 yearsto 13.14 years as of March 31,September 30, 2019.

 

The discount rate used in determining the lease liability for each individual lease was the FHLB fixed advance rate which corresponded with the remaining lease term as of January 1, 2019 for leases that existed at adoption.  This methodology will be continued for the commencement of any subsequent lease agreements.  The weighted average discount rate for the leases was 3.49%was 3.50% as of March 31,September 30, 2020 comparedcompared to 3.47% as3.48% as of March 31,September 30, 2019.

 

The total operating lease costs werewere $48,000 and $49,000, respectively,$144,000, respectively, for the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2020 and 2019. $48,000 and $145,000, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019.  The right-of-use asset, included in premises and equipment, and lease liability, included in other liabilities, was $1.4 million and $1.6 million, respectively, as of September 30, 2020, and $1.5 million and $1.7 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2020, and $1.6 million and $1.8 million, respectively, as of March 31,September 30, 2019.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Newly Issued Not Yet Effective Accounting Standards

 

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”. ASU 2016-13 significantly changes the way impairment of financial instruments is recognized by requiring immediate recognition of estimated credit losses expected to occur over the remaining life of the financial instruments. The main provisions of the guidance include (1) replacing the “incurred loss” approach under current GAAP with an “expected loss” model for instruments measured at amortized cost, (2) requiring entities to record an allowance for available-for-sale debt securities rather than reduce the carrying amount of the investments, as is required by the other-than-temporary impairment model under current GAAP, and (3) a simplified accounting model for purchased credit-impaired debt securities and loans. The ASU is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, although early adoption is permitted. However, on October 16, 2019, FASB announced a delay for the effective date of this ASU for smaller reporting companies until fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022.  As the Corporation is a smaller reporting company, the delay would beis applicable.  Management has selected a software vendor and is currently working through the implementation process.  The Corporation is reviewing available historical information in order to assess the expected credit losses and determine the impact the adoption of ASU 2016-13 will have on the financial statements.

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, "Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans".  ASU 2018-14 removes disclosures pertaining to (a) the amounts of AOCI expected to be recognized as pension costs over the next fiscal year, (b) the amount and timing of plan assets expected to be returned to the employer, and (c) the effect of one-percentage-point change in the assumed health care trends on (i) service and interest costs and (ii) post-retirement health care benefit obligation.  A disclosure will be added requiring an explanation of the reasons for significant gains and losses related to changes in the benefit obligation for the period.  The amendments in this update are effective retrospectively for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020.  Early adoption is permitted.  The Corporation does not expect ASU 2018-14 to have a material impact on its financial statements and disclosures.

 

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, "Income Taxes - Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes".  ASU 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted.  Certain provisions under ASU 2019-12 require prospective application, some require modified retrospective adoption, while other provisions require retrospective application to all periods presented in the consolidated financial statements upon adoption.  The Corporation is currently evaluating the effect that this ASU will have on its financial statements and disclosures.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, "Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting".  The ASU is intended to provide relief for companies preparing for discontinuation of interest rates based on LIBOR, or other reference rates that may be discontinued, and provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contract modifications and hedging relationships, subject to meeting certain criteria.  The ASU also provides for a one-time sale and/or transfer to AFS or trading to be made for HTM debt securities that both reference an eligible reference rate and were classified as HTM before January 1, 2020.  ASU 2020-04 is effective March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022.  The guidance requires companies to apply the guidance prospectively to contract modifications and hedging relationships while the one-time election to sell and/or transfer debt securities classified as HTM may be made any time after March 12, 2020.  The Corporation does not expect ASU 2020-04 to have a material impact on its financial statements and disclosures.  

Adoption of New Accounting Policies

In January 2017, FASB ASU 2017-04, "Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment". This ASU simplifies the measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Instead, under this amendment, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The amendments are effective for public business entities for the first interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption was permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Corporation has goodwill from prior business combinations and performs an annual impairment test or more frequently if changes or circumstances occur that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying value. In conjunction with most recent annual impairment assessment as of November 30, 2019, the Corporation adopted the simplified measurement of goodwill.  Although the Corporation cannot anticipate future goodwill impairment assessments, based on the most recent assessment, the adoption of this guidance had no impact on consolidated financial statements.

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, "Fair Value Measurement".  ASU 2018-13 eliminates, adds and modifies certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements.  Disclosures for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, the policy for timing of transfers between levels, and the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurement will be removed.  Additional disclosures will be required relating to (a) changes in unrealized gains/losses in OCI for Level 3 fair value measurements for assets held at the end of the reporting period, and (b) the process of calculating weighted average for significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements.  The amendments in this update becomebecame effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019.  The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Corporation's financial statements and disclosures.

 

In March 2020, in accordance with provisions in the CARES Act, the Corporation has elected not to apply the guidance in ASC 310-40 on accounting for TDRs to loan modifications related to COVID-19 made between March 1, 2020 and the earlier of (1) December 31, 2020 or (2) 60 days after the end of the COVID-19 national emergency.  This relief was only applied to modifications for borrowers that were not more than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019 and may include payment deferrals, fee waivers, extension of repayments or other delays in payment.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

This section discusses the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of Emclaire Financial Corp and its wholly owned subsidiariessubsidiary for the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2020, compared to the same periods in 2019 and should be read in conjunction with the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, filed with the SEC and with the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes presented in this Form 10-Q.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This Form 10-Q, including the financial statements and related notes, contains forward looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. These forward looking statements represent plans, estimates, objectives, goals, guidelines, expectations, intentions, projections and statements of our beliefs concerning future events, business plans, objectives, expected operating results and the assumptions upon which those statements are based. Forward looking statements include without limitation, any statement that may predict, forecast, indicate or imply future results, performance or achievements, and are typically identified with words such as “may,” “could,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan” or words or phrases of similar meaning. We caution that the forward looking statements are based largely on our expectations and are subject to a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties that are subject to change based on factors which are, in many instances, beyond our control. Actual results, performances or achievements could differ materially from those contemplated, expressed or implied by the forward looking statements. Therefore, we caution you not to place undue reliance on our forward looking information and statements. Except as required by applicable law or regulation, we will not update the forward looking statements to reflect actual results or changes in factors affecting the forward looking statements.

 

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

In addition to the results of operations presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principals (GAAP), management uses certain non-GAAP financial measures, such as net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis.  Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide information that is useful to investors in understanding the underlying operational performance and business and performance trends as they facilitate comparison with the performance of others in the financial services industry.  Although management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures enhance investors' understanding of the Corporation's business and performance, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered an alternative to GAAP.

Management believes the presentation of net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis ensures comparability of net interest income arising from both taxable and tax-exempt sources and is consistent with industry practice.  Interest income per the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income is reconciled to net interest income adjusted to a fully taxable equivalent basis on pages 30 and 34 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

COVID-19 UPDATE

 

The outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has adversely impacted certain industries in which the Corporation's clients operate and may have impaired their ability to fulfill their outstanding obligations. The Corporation's business is dependent upon the willingness and ability of our employees and clients to conduct banking and other financial transactions. The spread of COVID-19 has caused severe disruptions in the U.S. economy at large, and for small businesses in particular, which could further disrupt operations. If the global response to contain COVID-19 escalates or is unsuccessful, the Corporation could experience a more material adverse effect on it's financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and capital levels. The outbreak may result in a decrease in the Corporation's clients' businesses, a decrease in consumer confidence and a possible disruption in the services provided by vendors. Continued disruptions to the operations of the Corporation's clients could result in increased risk of delinquencies, defaults, foreclosures and losses on loans, negatively impact regional economic conditions, result in declines in local loan demand, liquidity of loan guarantors, loan collateral (particularly in real estate), loan originations and deposit availability and negatively impact the implementation of the Corporation's growth strategy. The Corporation relies upon third-party vendors to conduct business and to process, record and monitor transactions. If any of these vendors are unable to continue to provide these services, it could negatively impact the ability to serve our clients. Furthermore, the continued disruptions due to the outbreak could negatively impact the ability of employees and clients to engage in banking and other financial transactions in the geographic areas in which the Corporation operates and could create widespread business continuity issues. The Corporation also could be adversely affected if key personnel or a significant number of employees were to become unavailable due to the effects and restrictions of a more substantial COVID-19 outbreak in local market areas. Although the Corporation has business continuity plans and other safeguards in place, there is no assurance that such plans and safeguards will continue to be effective.

 

28

The Corporation has responded to the circumstances surrounding the pandemic to support the safety and well-being of the employees, customers and shareholders by enacting the following measures:

 

•  The Annual Shareholder Meeting was held virtually.

•  Operational areas within the Bank have been segregated and employees directed to work from home or alternate locations, where possible, to mitigate possible spread of illness to an entire department.

•  BranchLimited branch lobby hours have been temporarily suspendedare available to the public for walk-in transactions.  Appointments can be made as necessary to complete paperwork or complex transactions.

  Drive-thru services remain open where available, and the use of ATMs and on-line banking is encouraged.

•  Loan modifications, including extensions and deferrals, have been made available to customers who were not 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019.

•  Customers were assisted with applications for resources available through the PPP,Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), administered by the SBA.Small Business Administration (SBA).  These government guaranteed, forgivable loans were created as part of the CARES Act.

 

The duration and full impact of this economic disruption is unknown at this time, and continued deterioration of the economic environment could adversely impact the Corporation's financial condition.  While the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic cannot be predicted or measured, there will be a definite impact on net income.  It is anticipated that provision for loan loss expense will remain elevated in expectation of a deterioration in a portion of the loan portfolio.  As a result of the significant decline in interest rates, the Corporation has and will continue to experience a decline in net income and resulting net interest margin, however, there will be a benefit from the fees arising from the PPP loan program.  Also, it is expected that noninterest income will be reduced as customers may use fewer fee-based services due to COVID-19 mitigation efforts such as stay-at-home orders.  The Corporation will continue to closely monitor situations arising from the pandemic and adjust operations accordingly.

Analysis of Changes in Net Interest Income. The following table analyzes the changes in interest income and interest expense in terms of: (1) changes in volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and (2) changes in yields and rates. The table reflects the extent to which changes in the Corporation’s interest income and interest expense are attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior year rate), rate (change in rate multiplied by prior year volume) and changes attributable to the combined impact of volume/rate (change in rate multiplied by change in volume). The changes attributable to the combined impact of volume/rate are allocated on a consistent basis between the volume and rate variances. Changes in interest income on loans and securities reflect the changes in interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis.

Provision for loan losses. The Corporation records provisions for loan losses to maintain a level of total allowance for loan losses that management believes, to the best of its knowledge, covers all probable incurred losses estimable at each reporting date. Management considers historical loss experience, the present and prospective financial condition of borrowers, current conditions (particularly as they relate to markets where the Corporation originates loans), the status of nonperforming assets, the estimated underlying value of the collateral and other factors related to the collectability of the loan portfolio.

Information pertaining to the allowance for loan losses and nonperforming assets for the three month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 is as follows:

Nonperforming loans decreased $1.0 million, or 25.1% to $4.1 million at September 30, 2020 from $5.1 million at June 30, 2020. This was primarily due to a $1.1 million decrease in loans 90+ days past due and still accruing.

As of September 30, 2020, the Corporation’s classified and criticized assets amounted to $20.2 million, or 2.0% of total assets, with $15.1 million classified as substandard and $5.1 million identified as special mention. This compares to classified and criticized assets of $22.2 million, or 2.2% of total assets, with $16.8 million classified as substandard and $5.4 million identified as special mention at June 30, 2020. This $2.0 million decrease was primarily related to $1.1 million in loan payoffs from five commercial relationships and the upgrade of one $278,000 commercial relationship from classified to pass.

The provision for loan losses increased to $750,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2020 from a recovery of $145,000 for the same period in 2019. The increase in the provision for loan losses was due to growth in the residential and consumer loan portfolios, risk rating changes for loans which were granted payment deferrals in connection with COVID-19, an increase in criticized and classified loans, and an increase in the specific pandemic qualitative allowance factor. This pandemic factor, which was initially set at 2 basis points for the first quarter of 2020, increased to 5.5 basis points for the second quarter and was increased  to 9.0 basis points and added approximately $244,000 to the provision expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2020.  Significant uncertainty remains regarding future levels of criticized and classified loans, nonperforming loans and charge-offs, but some deterioration is expected as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.  The Corporation will continue to closely monitor changes in the loan portfolio and adjust the provision accordingly.

Noninterest income.  Noninterest income decreased $69,000, or 5.7%, to $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $1.2 million for the same period in 2019 due to decreases in fees and service charges and gains on the sale of securities of $169,000 and $42,000, respectively, partially offset by increases in gains on the sale of loans and other noninterest income of $104,000 and $38,000, respectively.  The decrease in fees and service charges was primarily due to a decline in overdraft charges as the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in widespread government mandated stay-at-home orders and business shut downs which dramatically impacted consumer spending.  The increase in other noninterest expense resulted form increases in ATM surcharge and interchange fees and gains on the sale of foreclosed assets.

Noninterest expense.  Noninterest expense decreased $313,000, or 5.4%, to $5.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 from $5.8 million for the same period in 2019.  The decrease was primarily attributable to decreases in compensation and benefits expense and professional fees of $437,000 and $67,000, respectively, partially offset by increases in FDIC insurance expense, premises and equipment expense and other noninterest expense of $144,000, $27,000 and $23,000, respectively.  The increase in FDIC insurance expense is primarily related to the Small Bank Assessment credit utilized during the period in 2019, which eliminated the expense for the quarter.

Provision for income taxes. The provision for income taxes decreased $60,000, or 13.5%, to $384,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $444,000 for the same period in the prior year as a result of the decrease in net income before provision for income taxes.

Comparison of Results for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 and 2019

General. Net income available to common stockholders decreased $2.1 million, or 33.5%, to $4.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 from $6.3 million for the same period in 2019. This decrease resulted from a decrease in net interest income of $472,000 and an increase in the provision for loan losses of $2.3 million, partially offset by an increase in noninterest income of $147,000 and decreases in noninterest expense and the provision for income taxes of $73,000 and $480,000, respectively.

Net interest income. Tax equivalent net interest income decreased $479,000, or 2.2%, to $21.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 from $21.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. This decrease was attributed to an increase in interest expense of $494,000, or 8.5%, partially offset by a modest increase in tax equivalent interest income of $15,000.

Interest income. Tax equivalent interest income increased $15,000 at $27.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019. This increase was attributed to increases in interest earned on loans and securities of $245,000 and $40,000, respectively, partially offset by decreases in interest on interest-earning deposits with banks and dividends on federal bank stocks of $241,000 and $29,000, respectively.

Tax equivalent interest earned on loans receivable increased $245,000, or 1.0%, to $24.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $24.6 million for the same period in 2019. Average loan volumes increased $74.5 million, or 10.6% from $776.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, versus $702.0 million for the same period in 2019, resulting in a $2.5 million increase in interest income.  Partially offsetting this favorable variance, the average yield on loans decreased 41 basis points to 4.28% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 from 4.69% for the same period in 2019. The average yield was impacted by the 150 basis point decline in the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate in March 2020 which resulted in the immediate decrease in interest rates on adjustable rate loans linked to that index.  This unfavorable yield variance accounted for a $2.2 million decrease in interest income.  Interest income recognized on the PPP loans was $654,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, resulting in a yield of 2.64%, which includes the accretion of origination fees paid by the SBA. While the PPP loans contributed to the increase in average loans and interest income, they negatively impacted the overall yield on loans by approximately 7 basis points.  The accretion of purchase accounting adjustments on acquired loans mitigated the yield decrease by approximately 4 basis points.

Tax equivalent interest earned on securities increased $40,000, or 2.0%, to $2.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $2.0 million for the same period in 2019. The average balance of securities increased $4.2 million, or 4.2%, accounting for an $81,000 increase in interest income.  Partially offsetting this favorable variance, the average yield on securities decreased by 6 basis points to 2.56% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 versus 2.62% for the same period in 2019 causing a $41,000 decrease in interest income.

Interest earned on deposits with banks decreased $241,000, or 60.7%, to $156,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $397,000 for the same period in 2019. This decrease resulted from a 106 basis point decrease in the average yield on these balances to 0.75% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, versus 1.81% for the same period in 2019, accounting for a $222,000 decrease in interest income.  Additionally, average cash balances decreased $1.4 million, or 4.9%, accounting for a $19,000 decrease in interest income.

Dividends on federal bank stocks decreased $29,000, or 9.2%, to $287,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 from $316,000 for the same period in 2019. This decrease was primarily due to a 95 basis point decrease in the average yield to 6.25% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, versus 7.20% for the same period in 2019, accounting for a $43,000 decrease in interest income. Partially offsetting this unfavorable variance, the average balance of federal bank stocks increased $276,000, or 4.7%, accounting for a $14,000 increase in interest income.

Interest expense. Interest expense increased $494,000, or 8.5%, to $6.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 from $5.8 million for the same period in 2019. This increase in interest expense can be attributed to an increase in interest incurred on deposits of $549,000, partially offset by a decrease in interest incurred on borrowed funds of $55,000.

Interest expense incurred on deposits increased $549,000, or 10.9%, to $5.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $5.0 million for the same period in 2019. The average balance of interest-bearing deposits increased $44.4 million, or 7.2%, to $663.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $618.8 million for the same period in 2019 causing a $370,000 increase in interest expense.  Additionally, the average cost of interest-bearing deposits increased 4 basis points to 1.13% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, versus 1.09% for the same period in 2019, accounting for a $179,000 increase in interest expense.  This increase in cost was driven primarily due to money market and CD specials offered in 2019 and will gradually decline as the special rates expire or the accounts mature.

33

Interest expense incurred on borrowed funds decreased $55,000, or 7.2%, to $714,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $769,000 for the same period in the prior year.  The decrease was primarily the result of a 50 basis point decrease in the average cost of borrowed funds to 2.24% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to 2.74% for the same period in 2019 causing a $132,000 decrease in interest expense.  Partially offsetting this reduction, the average balance of borrowed funds increased $5.0 million, or 13.3%, to $42.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared to $37.5 million for the same period in 2019 causing a $77,000 increase in interest expense.

Nonperforming loans increased $159,000,$1.2 million, or 5.5%39.7%, to $3.1$4.1 million at March 31,September 30, 2020 from $2.9 million at December 31, 2019. This was primarily due to a general$309,000 increase in loans 90+ days past due and still accruing, and two commercial relationships and five residential mortgage loans totaling $752,000 and $299,000, respectively, being placed on non-accrual status during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

 

As of March 31,September 30, 2020, the Corporation’s classified and criticized assets amounted to $16.2$20.2 million, or 1.7%2.0% of total assets, with $10.8$15.1 million classified as substandard and $5.4$5.1 million identified as special mention. This compares to classified and criticized assets of $17.0 million, or 1.9% of total assets, with $11.5 million classified as substandard and $5.6 million identified as special mention at December 31, 2019. This $865,000 decrease$3.2 million increase was primarily related to the downgrade of five commercial relationships totaling $5.0 million from pass to substandard after the receipt of updated financial information. This increase is not indicative of the entire loan portfolio performance and did not result directly from COVID-19 related issues.  The unfavorable variance was partially offset by loan payoffs relating to five commercial relationships and the upgrade of a $187,000four commercial relationshiprelationships from substandard to pass the upgrade of a $120,000 commercial relationship from special mention to pass,totaling $1.1 million and the payoff of two commercial real estate loans totaling $179,000.$815,000, respectively.

 

The provision for loan losses increased $612,000$2.3 million to $792,000$2.6 million for the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2020 from $180,000$305,000 for the same period in 2019. The increase in the provision for loan losses was primarily due to a $39.4$138.4 million increase in gross loan portfolio balances, risk rating changes for loans which were granted payment deferrals in connection with COVID-19, an increase in criticized and classified loans and the addition of a new specific pandemic qualitative factor to the allowance for loan losses calculation.  This new pandemic factor, set at 29.0 basis points, added approximately $125,000$629,000 to the provision expense for the periodnine months ended March 31, 2020.September 30, 2020. Significant uncertainty remains regarding future levels of criticized and classified loans, nonperforming loans and charge-offs, but some deterioration is expected.expected as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.  The Corporation will continue to closely monitor changes in the loan portfolio and adjust the provision accordingly.

 

Noninterest income.  Noninterest income decreased $32,000,increased $147,000, or 3.0%4.3%, to $1.0$3.5 million for the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2020, compared to $1.1$3.4 million for the same period in 2019 due to increases in gains on the sale of securities and loans of $593,000 and $52,000, respectively, partially offset by a $104,000$522,000 decrease in fees and service charges, partially offset bycharges. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Corporation sold $39.4 million of primarily low yielding mortgage-backed and collateralized mortgage obligation securities and realized a $74,000 increase in gains on thenet gain of $635,000.  The sale ofproceeds were utilized to fund loans and purchase higher yielding municipal securities.  The decrease in fees and service charges was primarily due to a decline in overdraft charges.charges as the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in widespread government mandated stay-at-home orders and business shut downs which dramatically impacted consumer spending.

 

Noninterest expense.  Noninterest expense decreased $69,000, or 1.2%, to $5.5$73,000 at $16.6 million for the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2020 from $5.6 million for the same period in and 2019.  The decrease was primarily attributable to decreases in compensation and benefits expense, premises and equipment expense and professional fees of $389,000, $103,000 and $48,000, respectively, partially offset by increases in other noninterest expense and FDIC insurance expense of $92,000$416,000 and $33,000, respectively, partially offset by an$61,000, respectively.  The increase in other noninterest expense primarily related to prepayment penalties of $65,000.$238,000 incurred as a result of the early repayment of $15.0 million of FHLB term advances.

 

Provision for income taxes. The provision for income taxes decreased $213,000,$480,000, or 46.7%35.0%, to $243,000$892,000 for the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2020 compared to $456,000$1.4 million for the same period in the prior year as a result of the decrease in net income before provision for income taxes.

LIQUIDITY

 

The Corporation’s primary sources of funds generally have been deposits obtained through the offices of the Bank, borrowings from the FHLB, Federal Reserve and other correspondent banks, and amortization and prepayments of outstanding loans and sold or maturing securities. During the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2020, the Corporation used its sources of funds primarily to fund the production of new loans. As of March 31,September 30, 2020, the Corporation had outstanding loan commitments, including undisbursed loans and amounts available under credit lines, totaling $130.4$130.0 million, and standby letters of credit totaling $444,000,$489,000, net of collateral maintained by the Bank.

 

At March 31,September 30, 2020, time deposits amounted to $212.3$192.3 million, or 27.1%21.4% of the Corporation’s total consolidated deposits, including approximately $67.3$77.7 million of which are scheduled to mature within the next year. Management of the Corporation believes (i) it has adequate resources to fund all of its commitments, (ii) all of its commitments will be funded as required by related maturity dates and (iii) based upon past experience and current pricing policies, it can adjust the rates of time deposits to retain a substantial portion of maturing liabilities if necessary.

 

Aside from liquidity available from customer deposits or through sales and maturities of securities, the Corporation and the Bank have alternative sources of funds. These sources include a line of credit for the Corporation with a correspondent bank, the Bank's line of credit and term borrowing capacity from the FHLB and the Federal Reserve’s discount window and, to a more limited extent, through the sale of loans. At March 31,September 30, 2020, the Corporation had borrowed funds of $60.6$32.1 million consisting of $45.0$30.0 million of long-term FHLB advances $12.3 million of overnight FHLB advances, a $1.3 million long-term advance with a correspondent bank and $2.1 million outstanding on a line of credit with a correspondent bank. At March 31,September 30, 2020, the Corporation’s borrowing capacity with the FHLB, net of funds borrowed and irrevocable standby letters of credit issue to secure certain deposit accounts, was $226.6$239.9 million.

 

Management is not aware of any conditions, including any regulatory recommendations or requirements, which would adversely impact its liquidity or its ability to meet funding needs in the ordinary course of business.

 

RECENT REGULATORY DEVELOPMENTS

 

The final rules implementing the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision’s (BCBS) capital guidelines for U.S. banks were approved by the FRB and FDIC. Under the final rules, minimum requirements increased for both the quantity and quality of capital. The rules include a new common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets minimum ratio of 4.5%, raise the minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets from 4.0% to 6.0%, require a minimum ratio of Total Capital to risk-weighted assets of 8.0% and require a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio of 4.0%. A new capital conservation buffer comprised of common equity Tier 1 capital was also established above the regulatory minimum capital requirements. This capital conservation buffer was phased in beginning January 1, 2016 at 0.625% of risk-weighted assets and increased each subsequent year by an additional 0.625% until reaching its final level of 2.5% on January 1, 2019. Eligibility criteria for regulatory capital instruments were also implemented under the final rules. The final rules also revised the definition and calculation of Tier 1 capital, Total Capital and risk-weighted assets. The phase-in period for the final rules became effective on January 1, 2015 with full compliance with all of the final rules’ requirements phased in over a multi-year schedule which was fully phased-in on January 1, 2019.

 

At March 31,September 30, 2020, the Bank exceeded all minimum capital requirements under these capital guidelines.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The Corporation’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and follow general practices within the industry in which it operates. Application of these principles requires management to make estimates or judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements; accordingly, as this information changes, the financial statements could reflect different estimates or judgments. Certain policies inherently have a greater reliance on the use of estimates, and as such have a greater possibility of producing results that could be materially different than originally reported. Estimates or judgments are necessary when assets and liabilities are required to be recorded at fair value, when a decline in the value of an asset not carried on the financial statements at fair value warrants an impairment write-down or valuation reserve to be established or when an asset or liability needs to be recorded contingent upon a future event. Carrying assets and liabilities at fair value inherently results in more financial statement volatility. The fair values and the information used to record valuation adjustments for certain assets and liabilities are based either on quoted market prices or are provided by third-party sources, when available. When third-party information is not available, valuation adjustments are estimated in good faith by management primarily though the use of internal cash flow modeling techniques.

 

The most significant accounting policies followed by the Corporation are presented in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. These policies, along with the disclosures presented in the other financial statement notes provide information on how significant assets and liabilities are valued in the financial statements and how those values are determined. Management views critical accounting policies to be those which are highly dependent on subjective or complex judgments, estimates and assumptions and where changes in those estimates and assumptions could have a significant impact on the financial statements. Management has identified the following as critical accounting policies.

 

Allowance for loan losses. The Corporation considers that the determination of the allowance for loan losses involves a higher degree of judgment and complexity than its other significant accounting policies. The balance in the allowance for loan losses is determined based on management’s review and evaluation of the loan portfolio in relation to past loss experience, the size and composition of the portfolio, current economic events and conditions and other pertinent factors, including management’s assumptions as to future delinquencies, recoveries and losses. All of these factors may be susceptible to significant change. Among the many factors affecting the allowance for loan losses, some are quantitative while others require qualitative judgment. Although management believes its process for determining the allowance adequately considers all of the potential factors that could potentially result in credit losses, the process includes subjective elements and may be susceptible to significant change. To the extent actual outcomes differ from management’s estimates, additional provisions for loan losses may be required that would adversely impact the Corporation’s financial condition or earnings in future periods.

 

Other-than-temporary impairment. Management evaluates debt securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic, market or other concerns warrant such evaluation. Consideration is given to (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer, (3) whether the market decline was affected by macroeconomic conditions and (4) whether the Corporation has the intent to sell the debt security or more likely than not will be required to sell the debt security before its anticipated recovery.

 

Goodwill and intangible assets. Goodwill represents the excess cost over fair value of assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill and intangible assets acquired in a purchase business combination and determined to have an indefinite useful life are not amortized, but instead tested for impairment at least annually. Intangible assets with estimable useful lives are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values. Goodwill is subject to ongoing periodic impairment tests based on the fair value of the reporting unit compared to its carrying amount, including goodwill. Impairment exists when a reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value. At November 30, 2019, the required annual impairment test of goodwill was performed and no impairment existed as of the valuation date. Although the annual review of goodwill revealed no impairment consideration, based on current economic conditions related to COVID-19, management performed an interim assessment as of March 31,September 30, 2020.  Management concluded that goodwill was not impaired at this date.  While it is impossible to know the future impact of the evolving economic conditions, the impact could be material. If for any future period it is determined that there has been impairment in the carrying value of our goodwill balances, the Corporation will record a charge to earnings, which could have a material adverse effect on net income, but not risk based capital ratios.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Market risk for the Corporation consists primarily of interest rate risk exposure and liquidity risk. Since virtually all of the interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities are at the Bank, virtually all of the interest rate risk and liquidity risk lies at the Bank level. The Bank is not subject to currency exchange risk or commodity price risk, and has no trading portfolio, and therefore, is not subject to any trading risk. In addition, the Bank does not participate in hedging transactions such as interest rate swaps and caps. Changes in interest rates will impact both income and expense recorded and also the market value of long-term interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Interest rate risk and liquidity risk management is performed at the Bank level. Although the Bank has a diversified loan portfolio, loans outstanding to individuals and businesses depend upon the local economic conditions in the immediate trade area.

 

One of the primary functions of the Corporation’s asset/liability management committee is to monitor the level to which the balance sheet is subject to interest rate risk. The goal of the asset/liability committee is to manage the relationship between interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities, thereby minimizing the fluctuations in the net interest margin, which achieves consistent growth of net interest income during periods of changing interest rates.

 

Interest rate sensitivity is the result of differences in the amounts and repricing dates of the Bank’s rate sensitive assets and rate sensitive liabilities. These differences, or interest rate repricing “gap”, provide an indication of the extent that the Corporation’s net interest income is affected by future changes in interest rates. A gap is considered positive when the amount of interest rate-sensitive assets exceeds the amount of interest rate-sensitive liabilities and is considered negative when the amount of interest rate-sensitive liabilities exceeds the amount of interest rate-sensitive assets. Generally, during a period of rising interest rates, a negative gap would adversely affect net interest income while a positive gap would result in an increase in net interest income. Conversely, during a period of falling interest rates, a negative gap would result in an increase in net interest income and a positive gap would adversely affect net interest income. The closer to zero that gap is maintained, generally, the lesser the impact of market interest rate changes on net interest income.

 

Assumptions about the timing and variability of cash flows are critical in gap analysis. Particularly important are the assumptions driving mortgage prepayments and the expected attrition of the core deposits portfolios. These assumptions are based on the Corporation’s historical experience, industry standards and assumptions provided by a federal regulatory agency, which management believes most accurately represents the sensitivity of the Corporation’s assets and liabilities to interest rate changes.changes. As of March 31,September 30, 2020, the Corporation’s interest-earning assets maturing or repricing within one year totaled $313.0$401.0 million while the Corporation’s interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within one-year totaled $150.3$157.6 million, providing an excess of interest-earning assets over interest-bearing liabilities of $162.7$243.4 million. At March 31,September 30, 2020, the percentage of the Corporation’s assets to liabilities maturing or repricing within one year was 208.2%254.4%.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

The Corporation maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Corporation’s Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Corporation’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure based on the definition of “disclosure controls and procedures” in Rule 13a-15(e).

 

As of March 31,September 30, 2020, the Corporation carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Corporation’s management, including the Corporation’s CEO and CFO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, the Corporation’s CEO and CFO concluded that the Corporation’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective. There have been no significant changes in the Corporation’s internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect the internal controls subsequent to the date the Corporation completed its evaluation.

 

There has been no change made in the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting.
