HMN FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

 

 

(1)

(1HMN Financial, Inc. 

HMN Financial, Inc. (HMN or the Company) is a stock savings bank holding company that owns 100 percent of Home Federal Savings Bank (the Bank). The Bank has a community banking philosophy and operates retail banking and loan production facilities in Minnesota, Iowa and Wisconsin. The Bank has two2 wholly owned subsidiaries, Osterud Insurance Agency, Inc. (OIA), which does business as Home Federal Investment Services and offers financial planning products and services, and HFSB Property Holdings, LLC (HPH), which is currently inactive, but has acted in the past as an intermediary for the Bank in holding and operating certain foreclosed properties.

 

The consolidated financial statements included herein are for HMN, the Bank, OIA and HPH. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

 

(2)

(2) Basis of Preparation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q10-Q and, therefore, do not include all disclosures necessary for a complete presentation of the consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income, consolidated statements of stockholders' equity and consolidated statements of cash flows in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). However, all normal recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the interim financial statements have been included. The results of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2021 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire year.

(3) New Accounting Standards

In June 2016, March 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-13,2022-02, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326)326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures. The amendments in this ASU eliminate the guidance for troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) by creditors in Subtopic 310-40,Receivables-Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors, while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancing and restructures by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. Specifically, rather than applying the recognition and measurement guidance for TDRs, an entity must apply the loan refinancing and restructuring guidance in paragraphs 310-20-35-9 through 35-11 to determine whether a modification results in a new loan or a continuation of an existing loan. For public business entities, such as HMN, the amendments in this ASU require that an entity disclose current period gross writeoffs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases within the scope of Subtopic 326-20,Financial Instruments-Credit Losses-Measured at Amortized Cost in the vintage disclosures required by paragraph 326-20-50-6. The amendments in the ASU will be effective for entities, such as HMN, that have not yet adopted the amendments in ASU 2016-13 when ASU 2016-13 is adopted. The amendments in this ASU should be applied prospectively, except as provided in the next sentence. For the transition method related to the recognition and measurement of TDRs, an entity has the option to apply a modified retrospective transition method resulting in a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings in the period of adoption. Management is in the process of evaluating the impact of this ASU on the Company’s financial statement amounts and disclosures when it is adopted in the first quarter of 2023.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13,Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The amendments in this ASU affect all entities that measure credit losses on financial instruments including loans, debt securities, trade receivables, net investments in leases, off-balance sheet credit exposures, reinsurance receivables, and any other financial asset that has a contractual right to receive cash that is not specifically excluded. The main objective of this ASU is to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. To achieve this objective, the amendments in this ASU replace the incurred loss impairment methodology required in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses that requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to estimate credit losses. The amendments in this ASU will affect entities to varying degrees depending on the credit quality of the assets held by the entity, the duration of the assets held, and how the entity applies the current incurred loss methodology. The amendments in this ASU, for public business entities that are filers with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), were originally effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those annual periods.

On November 26, 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-11,2019-11, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments Credit Losses which delayed the implementation date of ASU 2016-132016-13 for SEC smaller reporting companies, such as HMN, from the first quarter of 2020 to the first quarter of 2023. All entities may adopt the amendments in the ASU early as of the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Amendments should be applied using a modified retrospective transition method by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to equity as of the beginning of the period in which the guidance is adopted. The Company has not early adopted this ASU. Management has accumulated the charge off information necessary to calculate the appropriate life of loan loss percentages for the various loan categories, has identified several key metrics to help identify and project anticipated changes in the credit quality of the Bank’s loan portfolio upon enactment, has identified some qualitative reserve metrics and isamounts, and has prepared preliminary calculations using the new methodology as outlined in the process of evaluatingASU. Based on the determination of potential qualitative reserve amounts and the impactpreliminary calculations it is not anticipated that the adoption of this ASU will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements when it is adopted in the first quarter of 2023.

On February 6, 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-02,2020-02, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326)326) and Leases (Topic 842)842)-Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No.119 and Update to SEC Section on Effective Date Related to Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02,2016-02, Leases (Topic 842)842). The amendments in this ASU related to Leases (Topic 842)842) did not have any impact on the Company. The amendments in this ASU related to Topic 326 adds additional guidance related to the SEC’s expectations for the documentation of the measurement, review process, and the systematic methodology used by entities to determine the current credit losses under FASB ASC Topic 326. Management It is currently in the processanticipated that this additional guidance will require periodic third party reviews of reviewing how the Company’s calculation of the allowance for credit loss calculation and review processes will be impacted by the additional guidance of this ASU whenlosses in subsequent periods after ASC Topic 326 is adopted in the first quarter of 2023.

(4) Fair Value Measurements

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, establishes a framework for measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities using a hierarchy system consisting of three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. These levels are:

 

Level 1 - Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets that the Company has the ability to access.

 

Level 2 - Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which significant assumptions are observable in the market.

 

Level 3 - Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use significant assumptions not observable in the market and are used only to the extent that observable inputs are not available. These unobservable assumptions reflect the Company’s own estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.

 

The following table summarizes the assets and liabilities of the Company for which fair values are determined on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2021 2022 and December 31, 2020.2021.

The Company may also be required, from time to time, to measure certain other financial assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with GAAP. These adjustments to fair value usually result from the application of the lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets. The following table provides the level of valuation assumptions used to determine each adjustment and the carrying value of the related individual assets or portfolios at March 31, 2021 2022 and December 31, 2020.2021.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

ASC 825, Disclosures about Fair Values of Financial Instruments requires interim reporting period disclosure of the estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments, including assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet items for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. The fair value estimates are made as of March 31, 2021 2022 and December 31, 2020 2021 based upon relevant market information, if available, and upon the characteristics of the financial instruments themselves. Because no market exists for a significant portion of the Company’s financial instruments, fair value estimates are based upon judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments and other factors.

The estimated fair value of the Company’s financial instruments as of March 31, 2021 2022 and December 31, 2020 2021 are shown below. Following the table, there is an explanation of the methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments.

Loans Held for Sale

The fair values of loans held for sale were based upon quoted market prices for loans with similar interest rates and terms to maturity.

 

Loans Receivable

The fair value of the loan portfolio, with the exception of the adjustable rate portfolio, was calculated by discounting the scheduled cash flows through the estimated maturity using anticipated prepayment speeds and using discount rates that reflect the credit and interest rate risk inherent in each loan portfolio. The fair value of the adjustable loan portfolio was estimated by grouping the loans with similar characteristics and comparing the characteristics of each group to the prices quoted for similar types of loans in the secondary market. The fair value disclosures for both the fixed and adjustable rate portfolios were adjusted to reflect the exit price amount anticipated to be received from the sale of the portfolio in an open market transaction.

The carrying amount of FHLB stock approximates its fair value.

 

Accrued Interest Receivable

The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable approximates its fair value since it is short-term in nature and does not present unanticipated credit concerns.

 

Deposits

The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts and certain money market account deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of fixed maturity certificates of deposit is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities. The fair value disclosures for all of the deposits were adjusted to reflect the exit price amount anticipated to be received from the sale of the deposits in an open market transaction.

Accrued Interest Payable

The carrying amount of accrued interest payable approximates its fair value since it is short-term in nature.

 

Commitments to Extend Credit

The fair values of commitments to extend credit are estimated using the fees normally charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counter parties.

 

Commitments to Sell Loans

The fair values of commitments to sell loans are estimated using the quoted market prices for loans with similar interest rates and terms to maturity.

The Company reviews its investment portfolio on a quarterly basis for indications of impairment. This review includes analyzing the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been lower than the cost, the market liquidity for the investment, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, including any specific events which may influence the operations of the issuer, and the Company’s intent and ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to recover the temporary loss. The unrealized losses on impaired securities other than the corporate preferred stock are the result of changes in interest rates. The unrealized losses reported for the corporate preferred stock at March 31, 2021 2022 relates to a single trust preferred security that was issued by the holding company of a small community bank. As of March 31, 2021 2022 all payments were current on the trust preferred security and the issuer’s subsidiary bank was considered to be “well capitalized”well-capitalized based on its most recent regulatory filing. Based on a review of the issuer, it was determined that the trust preferred security was not other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2021 2022 as the Company does not intend to sell the security and has the intent and ability to hold it for a period of time sufficient to recover the temporary loss. Management believes that the Company will receive all principal and interest payments contractually due on the security and that the decrease in the market value is primarily due to a lack of liquidity in the market for trust preferred securities. Management will continue to monitor the credit risk of the issuer and may be required to recognize other-than-temporary impairment charges on this security in future periods.

Classified loans represent special mention, substandard (performing and non-performing), and non-performing loans categorized as doubtful and loss. Loans classified as special mention are loans that have potential weaknesses that, if left uncorrected, may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or in the Bank’s credit position at some future date. Loans classified as substandard are loans that are generally inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor, or by the collateral pledged, if any. Loans classified as substandard have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. Substandard loans are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Loans classified as doubtful have the weaknesses of those classified as substandard, with additional characteristics that make collection in full on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values questionable, and there is a high possibility of loss. A loan classified as loss is essentially uncollateralized and/or considered uncollectible and of such little value that continuance as an asset on the balance sheet may not be warranted. Loans classified as substandard or doubtful require the Bank to perform an analysis of the individual loan and charge off any loans, or portion thereof, that are deemed uncollectible.

TDR concessions can include reduction of interest rates, extension of maturity dates, forgiveness of principal and/or interest due, or acceptance of real estate or other assets in full or partial satisfaction of the debt. Loan modifications are not reported as TDRs after twelve months if the loan was modified at a market rate of interest for comparable risk loans, and the loan is performing in accordance with the terms of the restructured agreement for the entire twelve month period. All loans classified as TDRs are considered to be impaired.

 

When a loan is modified in a TDR, there may be a direct, material impact on the loans within the consolidated balance sheets, as principal balances may be partially forgiven. The financial effects of TDRs are presented in the following table and represent the difference between the outstanding recorded balance pre-modification and post-modification, for the three months ended March 31, 2021 2022 and March 31, 2020.2021.

There were no0 loans that were restructured within the twelve months preceding March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020 that subsequently defaulted during the three months ended March 31, 2021 2022 and March 31, 2020.2021.

 

The Company considers a loan to have defaulted when it becomes 90 or more days past due under the modified terms, when it is placed in non-accrual status, when it becomes other real estate owned, or when it becomes non-compliant with some other material requirement of the modification agreement. Loans that were non-accrual prior to modification remain on non-accrual status for at least six months following modification. Non-accrual TDR loans that have performed according to the modified terms for six months may be returned to accrual status. Loans that were accruing prior to modification remain on accrual status after the modification as long as the loan continues to perform under the new terms.

 

TDRs are reviewed for impairment following the same methodology as other impaired loans. For loans that are collateral-dependent, the value of the collateral is reviewed and additional reserves may be added as needed. Loans that are not collateral-dependent may have additional reserves established if deemed necessary. The reserves for TDRs were $0.2 million, or 1.7%2.4%, of the total $10.1$9.6 million in loan loss reserves at March 31, 2021 2022 and $0.1$0.2 million, or 0.9%2.6%, of the total $10.7$9.3 million in loan loss reserves at December 31, 2020.2021.

No amortization expense relating to goodwill is recorded as GAAP does not allow goodwill to be amortized but does requirerequires that goodwillit be tested for impairment at least annually, or sooner, if there are indications that impairment may exist.

 

Projections of amortization are based on existing asset balances and the existing interest rate environment as of March 31, 2021. 2022. The Company’s actual experience may be significantly different depending upon changes in mortgage interest rates and other market conditions.

(11) Leases

The Company accounts for its leases in accordance with ASU 2016-02,2016-02, Leases (Topic 842)842) and as of March 31, 2021 2022 a $3.0$0.3 million right-of-use asset and an offsetting lease payment obligation liability were recorded on the consolidated balance sheet in other assets and other liabilities, respectively.

 

Operating lease right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset during the lease term and operating lease liabilities represent its obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized at lease commencement based on the present value of the remaining lease payments using a discount rate that represents the Company’s incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date. Because the Company only has operating leases and the right-of-use asset is offset by a lease payment obligation liability, the lease payments are the only amount that is recorded in occupancy expense in the consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income.

 

The Company’s leases relate to office space and bank branches with remaining lease terms between seventeenfive and forty-ninethirty-seven months. Certain leases contain extension options which typically range from three to ten years. Because these extension options are not considered reasonably certain of exercise, they are not included in the lease term.

The Bank is subject to the Basel III regulatory capital requirements. The Basel III requirements, among other things, (i) apply a set of capital requirements to the Bank, including requirements relating to common equity as a component of core capital, (ii) implement a “capital conservation buffer” against risk and a higher minimum Tier 1 capital requirement, and (iii) set forth rules for calculating risk-weighted assets for purposes of such requirements. The rules also made corresponding revisions to the prompt corrective action framework and include capital ratios and buffer requirements. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company's financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of its assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.

 

The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve SystemFRB amended its Small Bank Holding Company Policy Statement (Policy Statement), to exempt small bank holding companies with assets less than $3$3 billion from the above capital requirements. The Policy Statement was also expanded to include savings and loan holding companies that meet the Policy Statement’s qualitative requirements for exemption. The Company currently meets the qualitative exemption requirements, and therefore, is exempt from the above capital requirements.

 

Quantitative measures established by regulations to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the following table and defined in the regulation) of Common Equitycommon equity Tier 1 capital to risk weightedrisk-weighted assets, Tier 1 capital to adjusted total assets, Tier 1 capital to risk weightedrisk-weighted assets and total capital to risk weightedrisk-weighted assets.

 

The Bank’s average total assets for the first quarter of 20212022 were $932.0 million,$1.0 billion, its adjusted total assets were $931.2 million,$1.0 billion, and its risk-weighted assets were $666.6$778.7 million. The following table presents the Bank’s capital amounts and ratios at March 31, 2021 2022 for actual capital, required capital and excess capital, including ratios in order to qualify as being well capitalized under the prompt corrective actions regulations.

(1)(1) Based upon the Bank’s adjusted total assets for the purpose of the Tier 1 leverage capital ratio and risk-weighted assets for the purpose of the risk-based capital ratios.

 

The Bank must maintain a capital conservation buffer of 2.50% composed of common equity Tier 1 capital above its minimum risk-based capital requirements in order to avoid limitations on capital distributions, including dividend payments and certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers. Management believes that, as of March 31, 2021, 2022, the Bank’s capital ratios were in excess of those quantitative capital ratio standards set forth under the current prompt corrective action regulations, including the capital conservation buffer described above. However, there can be no assurance that the Bank will continue to maintain such status in the future. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC)OCC has extensive discretion in its supervisory and enforcement activities and can adjust the requirement to be “well-capitalized”well-capitalized in the future.

(14) Stockholders Equity

The Company was authorized to repurchase up to $4.0 million of its common stock under the existing share repurchase program at March 31, 2021. The Company did not declare any dividends on its common stock but did repurchase 29,400repurchased 30,000 shares of its common stock in the open market for $0.5a gross purchase price of $0.7 million under theits share repurchase program during the first quarter of 2021.2022. At March 31, 2022, the Company was authorized to repurchase up to $3.4 million more of its common stock under the existing share repurchase program. The Company also declared a quarterly dividend of 6 cents per share that was paid to stockholders as of the record date on March 9, 2022.

(15) Commitments and Contingencies

The Bank issues standby letters of credit which guarantee the performance of customers to third parties. The standby letters of credit issued and available at March 31, 2021 2022 were approximately $5.1$10.5 million, expire over the next 18twenty-three months, and are collateralized primarily with commercial real estate mortgages. Since the conditions under which the Bank is required to fund the standby letters of credit may not materialize, the cash requirements are expected to be less than the total outstanding commitments.

 

From time to time, the Company is party to legal proceedings arising out of its lending and deposit operations. The Company is, and expects to become, engaged in foreclosure proceedings, collection actions, and other litigation as part of its normal banking activities. Among the various current litigation matters, the Company is involved in a bankruptcy litigation claim where the bankruptcy trustee is attempting to recover $1.9 million related to the principal and interest payments made to the Bank prior to the bankruptcy filing of a former customer of the Bank.

The Company examines each legal matter, and, in those situations where it determines that a particular legal matter presents loss contingencies that are both probable and reasonably estimable, establishes an appropriate accrual. In many situations, the Company is not able to estimate reasonably possible losses due to the preliminary nature of the legal matter, as well as a variety of other factors and uncertainties. For those legal matters where the Company is able to estimate a range of reasonably possible losses, management currently estimates that the aggregate range of losses from all of the Company’s outstanding litigation is from $0 to $0.9 million in excess of the amounts accrued, if any. This estimated aggregate range is based on an assessment of the information currently available to the Company and the actual aggregate losses could be higher. However, the Company does not believe these losses are probable to occur at this time. The Company reassesses all of its potential loss positions based on the available information each quarter and the estimated range of reasonably possible losses may change in the future. The Company typically vigorously pursues all available defenses related to litigation but may consider other alternatives, including settlement, in situations where there is an opportunity to resolve a legal matter on terms that are considered to be favorable to the Company when considering the continued expense and distraction of defending against any particular legal action.

Based on the Company’s current understanding of all of the outstanding legal matters, management does not believe that judgments or settlements arising from any pending or threatened litigation, individually or in the aggregate, would have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition or results of operations. However, litigation is unpredictable and the actual results of litigation cannot be determined with any certainty. Therefore, the ultimate aggregate resolution of any, or all, of the current outstanding legal matters could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations in the future.

(16) Business Segments

The Bank has been identified as a reportable operating segment in accordance with the provisions of ASC 280. HMN, the holding company, did not meet the quantitative thresholds for a reportable segment and therefore is included in the “Other” category.

 

The Company evaluates performance and allocates resources based on the segment’s net income, return on average assets and return on average equity. Each corporation is managed separately with its own officers and board of directors.

General

HMN is the stock savings bank holding company for the Bank, which operates community banking and loan production offices in Minnesota, Iowa and Wisconsin. The earnings of the Company are primarily dependent on the Bank's net interest income, which is the difference between interest earned on loans and investments, and the interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities such as deposits and other borrowings. The difference between the average rate of interest earned on assets and the average rate paid on liabilities is the "interestinterest rate spread".spread. Net interest income is produced when interest-earning assets equal or exceed interest-bearing liabilities and there is a positive interest rate spread. Net interest income and net interest rate spread are affected by changes in interest rates, the volume and composition of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, and the level of non-performing assets. The Company's net earnings are also affected by the generation of non-interest income, which consists primarily of gains from the sale of loans, and real estate owned, fees for servicing loans, commissions on the sale of uninsured investment products, and service charges on deposit accounts. The Bank incurs expenses in addition to interest expense in the form of compensation and benefits, occupancy and equipment expenses, provisions for loan losses, data processing costs, professional services, deposit insurance, amortization expense on mortgage servicing assets, advertising expenses, and income taxes. The earnings of financial institutions, such as the Bank, are also significantly affected by prevailing economic and competitive conditions, particularly changes in interest rates, government monetary and fiscal policies, and regulations of various regulatory authorities. Lending activities are influenced by the demand for and supply of business credit, single family and commercial properties, competition among lenders, the level of interest rates and the availability of funds. Deposit flows and costs of deposits are influenced by prevailing market rates of interest on competing investments, account maturities and the levels of personal income and savings.

 

Critical Accounting Estimates

These critical accounting policies oftenestimates, which are those estimates made in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) that involve estimatesa significant level of estimation uncertainty and assumptions that couldhave had or are reasonably likely to have a material impact on the Company’sour financial statements.condition or results of operations. The Company has identified the following critical accounting policiesestimates that management believes involve the most difficult, subjective, and/or complex judgments that are inherently uncertain. Therefore, actual financial results could differ significantly depending upon the estimates, assumptions and other factors used.

 

Allowance for Loan Losses and Related Provision

The allowance for loan losses is based on periodic analysis of the loan portfolio and is maintained at an amount considered to be appropriate by management to provide for probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of the balance sheet dates. In this analysis, management considers factors including, but not limited to, specific occurrences of loan impairment, actual and anticipated changes in the size of the portfolios, national, regional and regionallocal economic conditions such as unemployment data, loan delinquencies, local economic conditions, demand for single family homes, demand for commercial real estate and building lots, loan portfolio composition, historical loss experience and observations made by the Company's ongoing internal audit and regulatory exam processes. Loans are charged off to the extent they are deemed to be uncollectible. The Company has established separate processes to determine the appropriateness of the loan loss allowance for its homogeneous and non-homogeneous loan portfolios. The determination of the allowance on the homogeneous single family and consumer loan portfolios is calculated on a pooled basis with individual determination of the allowance for all non-performing loans. The determination of the allowance for the non-homogeneous commercial, commercial real estate and multi-family loan portfolios involves assigning standardized risk ratings and loss factors that are periodically reviewed. The loss factors are estimated based on the Company's own loss experience and other qualitative factors and are assigned to all loans without identified credit weaknesses. For each non-performing loan, the Company also performs an individual analysis of impairment that is based on the expected cash flows or the value of the assets collateralizing the loans and establishes any necessary reserves or charges off all loans, or portions thereof, that are deemed uncollectible.

 

24

The appropriateness of the allowance for loan losses is dependent upon management’s estimates of variables affecting valuation, appraisals of collateral, evaluations of performance and status and the amounts and timing of future cash flows expected to be received on impaired loans. Such estimates, appraisals, evaluations and cash flows may be subject to adjustments due to changing economic prospects of borrowers or properties. The fair market value of collateral dependent loans is typically based on the appraised value of the property less estimated selling costs. The estimates are reviewed periodically and any adjustments are recorded in the provision for loan losses in the periods in which the adjustments become known. Because of the size of some loans, changes in estimates can have a significant impact on the loan loss provision. The allowance is allocated to individual loan categories based upon the relative risk characteristics of the loan portfolios, the actual loss experience and other qualitative factors. The Company increases its allowance for loan losses by charging the provision for loan losses against income and by receiving recoveries of previously charged off loans. The Company decreases its allowance by crediting the provision for loan losses and recording loan charge-offs. Activity in the first quarter of 2021The current year activity resulted in a decrease in the allowance and a credit to the loan loss provision. The methodology for establishing the allowance for loan losses takes into consideration probable losses that have been identified in connection with specific loans as well as losses in the loan portfolio that have not been specifically identified. Although management believes that based on current conditions the allowance for loan losses is maintained at an appropriate amount to provide for probable loan losses inherent in the portfolio as of the balance sheet dates, future conditions may differ substantially from those anticipated in determining the allowance for loan losses and adjustments may be required in the future. In addition, the Company will be required to adopt Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments in the first quarter of 2023. See “Note 1 - New Accounting Pronouncementsin the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on the potential impact of adopting ASU 2016-13.

Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. These calculations are based on many complex factors including estimates of the timing of reversals of temporary differences, the interpretation of federal and state income tax laws, and a determination of the differences between the tax and the financial reporting basis of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ significantly from the estimates and interpretations used in determining the current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities.

 

The Company maintains significant net deferred tax assets for deductible temporary differences, the largest of which relatesrelate to unrealized losses on the investment portfolio and the allowance for loan losses. For tax purposes only the net charge-offs are deductible while the entire provision for loan losses is used to determine book income. A deferred tax asset is created because of the timing difference of when the expense is recognized for book and tax purposes. Under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP),GAAP, a valuation allowance is required to be recognized if it is “more likely than not” that the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The determination of the realizability of the deferred tax assets is highly subjective and dependent upon management’s judgment and evaluation of both positive and negative evidence, including the forecasts of future income, tax planning strategies, and assessments of the current and future economic and business conditions. The positive evidence considered includes the Company’s cumulative net income in the prior three yearthree-year period, the ability to implement tax planning strategies to accelerate taxable income recognition, and the probability that taxable income will be generated in future periods. The Company could not currently identify any negative evidence. It is possible that future conditions may differ substantially from those anticipated in determining that no valuation allowance was required on deferred tax assets and adjustments may be required in the future.

 

Determining the ultimate settlement of any tax position requires significant estimates and judgments in arriving at the amount of tax benefits to be recognized in the financial statements. It is possible that the tax benefits realized upon the ultimate resolution of a tax position may result in tax benefits that are significantly different from those estimated.

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2022 COMPARED TO THE QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2021

LitigationNet Income
Estimates related

Net income was $1.5 million for the first quarter of 2022, a decrease of $1.9 million compared to litigation are inherently subjectivenet income of $3.4 million for the first quarter of 2021. Diluted earnings per share for the first quarter of 2022 was $0.34, a decrease of $0.40 from diluted earnings per share of $0.74 for the first quarter of 2021. The decrease in net income between the periods was primarily because of a $0.9 million increase in the provision for loan losses due to an increase in the balance of the loan portfolio, a $0.9 million decrease in the gain on sales of loans due to a decrease in mortgage loan originations and sales and a $0.5 million increase in compensation and benefits expense primarily because of a decrease in the ultimate resolutiondirect loan origination compensation costs that were deferred as a result of any litigation may be different than current management estimates. See “Note 15 Commitments and Contingencies” for further information on outstanding litigation matters.the decreased mortgage loan production. These decreases in net income were partially offset by a $0.8 million decrease in income tax expense as a result of the decrease in pre-tax income between the periods.

COVID-19 Pandemic

In 2020, the spread of COVID-19 slowed economic activity in many countries, including the United States. Millions of Americans were at some point ordered to stay home, including those residing in the states of Minnesota and Wisconsin, and many businesses were ordered to be closed for a period of time or to operate at reduced capacities in order to reduce the spread of COVID-19. These orders severely reduced the flow of commerce which has reduced, or entirely eliminated, the revenue streams for many small businesses. This reduction in income forced many small businesses to close temporarily, furlough employees, or terminate operations entirely.

In the first quarter of 2021, vaccines began to be distributed to targeted groups and subsequent to March 31, 2021, the distribution of the vaccines have become more widely available to the general public. The increase in the vaccinations, among other things, has allowed most schools to conduct in-person learning and has reduced the number of restrictions on most businesses. It has also allowed the Bank to re-open all of its lobbies to walk-in services during limited hours while continuing to offer drive-up service during normal business hours.

Despite the distribution of the vaccines in the first quarter of 2021, the extent of the impact of COVID-19 on the Company is difficult to determine as it is not clear how long it will take to distribute the vaccines to the general public, how many people will take the vaccines, or how effective the vaccines will be against any variants of the virus, among other factors. In addition, it is not clear when, or if, businesses will re-hire those workers displaced by the pandemic or what the long-term implications will be on customer behaviors as a result of the pandemic. Up to this point, the Company has not seen a negative impact on its deposit relationships as many of its clients have been able to conduct their business with the Bank through the drive ups, ATMs, night drop, on-line banking website, or by using its mobile banking app. The impact on the Bank’s loan portfolio is also unclear for many of the same reasons.

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act was signed into law on March 27, 2020 and the Bank’s regulators issued the Interagency Statement on Loan Modification and Reporting for Financial Institutions Working with Customers Affected by the Coronavirus on April 7, 2020. Section 4013 of the CARES Act temporarily allows the Bank to grant modifications of loans to borrowers that were impacted by the pandemic without classifying the modifications as TDRs if the accommodation is granted before December 31, 2021. In accordance with regulatory guidance, the Bank granted accommodations on certain loans to borrowers in accordance with Section 4013 of the CARES Act. See “Note 9 Allowance for Loan Losses and Credit Quality Informationfor further information.

The Bank continues to submit applications for forgiveness on PPP loans that were outstanding at March 31, 2021 and it is anticipated that the majority of the remaining loans will be forgiven by the Small Business Administration (SBA). The remaining net deferred fees will be recognized into income over the remaining lives of the loans.

The Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021, which was signed into law on December 27, 2020, allocated $284 billion to the SBA to fund a second round of PPP and extended the application period for the program to March 31, 2021. The application period was later extended to May 31, 2021. The Bank is actively participating in the second round of the program and began submitting applications for borrowers on January 15, 2021 when the application window opened. The program was adjusted for the second round to allow applications from both first time borrowers and those that obtained loans during the first round of the program. The revised program, among other things, requires that borrowers demonstrate or certify that they experienced a 25% or greater reduction in gross receipts from a quarter in 2020 compared to the same quarter in 2019 and certify that current economic uncertainty makes the loan request necessary to support their ongoing operations.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses was $0.3 million for the first quarter of 2022, an increase of $0.9 million compared to ($0.6) million for the first quarter of 2021, a decrease of $1.1 million compared to $0.5 million for the first quarter of 2020.2021. The provision for loan losses decreasedincreased between the periods primarily because of an improvementthe growth in the loan portfolio during the first quarter of 2022. The credit qualityprovision recorded in 2021 was primarily the result of improvements in the underlying operations supporting many of the portfolio and a reduction in certain loan loss reserve percentages as a result of an internal analysis of the loan portfolio. During 2020, the Company increased its allowance for loan losses due to the changes in the economic environment related to the disruption in business activity as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The amount of the increase in the allowance for loan losses related to the economic environment was based, in part, on the amount of loans to borrowers in the hospitality, restaurant and entertainment industries that were initially negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. At March 31, 2021, the Bank had $34.5 million of loans that had been granted loan accommodationspandemic in accordance with Section 4013 of the CARES Act. The accommodations granted included $29.2 million of loans that are required to make interest only payments for periods up to December 31, 2021 and $5.3 million of loans that had their loan amortization period increased. Of these loans, $2.3 million were classified but still accruing at March 31, 2021 and all of these loans were current with their agreed upon payments. The commercial credit area continues to communicate regularly with the borrowers that have been granted loan accommodations and monitors their activity closely. This information is used to analyze the performance of these loans and to anticipate any potential issues that these loans may develop so that risk ratings may be appropriately adjusted in a timely manner. It is anticipated that most of the remaining borrowers that have been granted accommodations will be in a position to resume making their regular loan payments at the end of the initial accommodation period. Other borrowers, particularly in the hospitality and restaurant industries, may need additional accommodations when their initial accommodation period ends as their operations may need more time to recover from the impact of the pandemic.2020.

 

The allowance for loan losses is made up of general reserves on the entire loan portfolio and specific reserves on impaired loans. The general reserve amount includes quantitative reserves based on the size of the portfolio and our past loan loss history and qualitative reserves for other items determined to have a potential impact on future loan losses. The general reserves decreasedincreased during the first quarter of 2021 as a result of a decreasean increase in the required quantitative reserves due to an improvementincrease in the risk ratings on certain commercial loans and a reduction in certain loan loss reserve percentages as a result of an internal analysis of the loan portfolio. No changes were made to theThe qualitative allowance for loan losses related to the disruption in business activity as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic was reduced during the quarter. Despite the progress madequarter because of a perceived reduction in this risk due to improving conditions. The reduction in pandemic related qualitative reserves was partially offset by an increase in the vaccinationqualitative reserves for other economic factors. The other qualitative reserves were increased due to a perceived deterioration of the general publiceconomic condition during the first quarter, including an increase in the rate of 2021, it was determined that significant economic risks related toinflation, and enacted and expected increases in the pandemic continued to exist and more time was needed to prudently evaluate the impact that these risks would have on our loan portfolio.federal funds rate.

Dividends

The Company declared a quarterly dividend of 6 cents per share of common stock that was paid on March 9, 2022. The declaration and amount of any future cash dividends isremains subject to among other things, the Company's financial conditionsole discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend upon many factors, including the Company’s results of operations, the Bank's compliance with regulatoryfinancial condition, capital requirements, regulatory and contractual restrictions, business strategy and other regulatory restrictions, tax considerations, industry standards, economic conditions, general business practices and other factors. The Company has not declared any dividend duringfactors deemed relevant by the three year period ended March 31, 2021.Board of Directors.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

For the quarter ended March 31, 2021,2022, the net cash provided by operating activities was $2.7$11.1 million. The Company collected $33.2$12.1 million in principal repayments and maturities on securities and purchased securities and FHLB stock for $66.4$25.2 million. The Company had a net increasedecrease in deposit balances of $60.3$30.3 million and an increase of customer escrows of $1.0$0.8 million during the quarter. It also purchased $0.5$0.7 million of treasury stock, obtained $0.1 million in treasury stock for the taxes payable on stock awards, paid dividends to stockholders of $0.3 million, and $0.1purchased $0.2 million of premises and equipment. Loans receivable also increased $1.0$32.3 million during the quarter.

 

The Company has certificates of deposit with outstanding balances of $70.1$54.8 million that come due over the next 12 months. Based upon past experience, management anticipates that the majority of the deposits will renew for another term. The Company believes that cash outflows from deposits that do not renew will be replaced with a combination of other customers’ deposits or FHLB advances. FRB borrowings or proceeds from the sale of securities could also be used to fund unanticipated outflows of certificates of deposit.

 

28

The Company had nineeleven deposit customers each with aggregate deposits greater than $5.0 million as of March 31, 2021.2022. The $93.8$101.2 million in funds held by these customers may be withdrawn at any time, but management anticipates that the majority of these deposits will not be withdrawn from the Bank over the next twelve months. If these deposits were withdrawn, it is anticipated that they would be replaced with deposits from other customers or FHLB advances. FRB borrowings or proceeds from the sale of securities could also be used to replace unanticipated outflows of large checking and money market deposits.

 

30

The Company had the ability to borrow $171.0$182.6 million from the FHLB at March 31, 20212022 based on the collateral value of the loans pledged. The credit policy of the FHLB relating to the collateral value of the loans collateralizing the available line of credit with the FHLB may change such that the current collateral pledged to secure future advances is no longer acceptable or the formulas for determining the excess pledged collateral may change. The FHLB could also reduce the amount of funds it will lend to the Bank. It is not anticipated that the Bank will need to find alternative funding sources in the next twelve months to replace the available borrowings from the FHLB. However, if needed, the Bank could borrow an additional $53.4$72.7 million from the FRB at March 31, 20212022 based on the collateral value of the loans pledged.

 

The Company’s primary source of cash is dividends from the Bank. At March 31, 2021,2022, the Company had $10.5$11.4 million in cash. The primary use of cash by the Company is the payment of operating expenses.expenses, the repurchase of Company stock, and the payment of dividends to stockholders.

 

The Company also serves as a source of capital, liquidity, and financial support to the Bank. Depending upon the operating performance of the Bank and the Company’s other liquidity and capital needs, including Company level expenses, the Company may find it prudent, subject to prevailing capital market conditions and other factors, to raise additional capital through issuance of its common stock or other equity securities. Additional capital would also potentially permit the Company to implement a strategy of growing Bank assets. Depending on the circumstances, if it were to raise capital, the Company may deploy it to the Bank for general banking purposes, or may retain some or all of it for use by the Company.

 

If the Company were to raise capital through the issuance of additional shares of common stock or other equity securities, it would dilute the ownership interests of existing stockholders and if issued at a price less than the Company’s book value, would dilute the per share book value of the Company’s common stock, and could result in a change in control of the Company and the Bank. New investors may also have rights, preferences and privileges senior to the Company’s current stockholders which may adversely impact the Company’s current stockholders. The Company’s ability to raise additional capital through the issuance of equity securities, if deemed prudent, will depend on, among other factors, conditions in the capital markets at that time, which are outside of its control, andcontrol. Accordingly, the Company may not be able to raise additional capital, if deemed prudent, on the Company’s financial performance and plans.favorable economic terms or other terms acceptable to it.

 

Market Risk

Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and rates. The Company’sCompany's market risk arises primarily from interest rate risk inherent in its investing, lending and deposit taking activities. Management actively monitors and manages its interest rate risk exposure.

 

The Company’sCompany's profitability is affected by fluctuations in interest rates. A sudden and substantial change in interest rates may adversely impact the Company’sCompany's earnings to the extent that the interest rates borne by assets and liabilities do not change at the same speed, to the same extent, or on the same basis. The Company monitors the projected changes in net interest income that occur if interest rates were to suddenly change up or down. The Rate Shock Table located in the following Asset/Liability Management section of this reportManagement’s Discussion and Analysis discloses the Company’sCompany's projected changes in net interest income based upon immediate interest rate changes called rate shocks. The Company utilizes a model that uses the discounted cash flows from its interest-earning assets and its interest-bearing liabilities to calculate the current market value of those assets and liabilities. The model also calculates the changes in market value of the interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities under different interest rate changes.

The preceding table was prepared utilizing a model using the following assumptions (the Model Assumptions) regarding prepayment and decay ratios that were determined by management based upon their review of historical prepayment speeds and future prepayment projections. Fixed rate loans were assumed to prepay at annual rates of between 2% to 61%44%, depending on the note rate and the period to maturity. Adjustable rate mortgages (ARMs) were assumed to prepay at annual rates of between 5%6% and 51%44%, depending on the note rate and the period to maturity. Mortgage-backed securities were projected to have prepayments based upon the underlying collateral securing the instrument. Certificate accounts were assumed not to be withdrawn until maturity. Passbook accounts and money market accounts were assumed to decay at an annual rate of 8%,7% and 17%, respectively. Retail checking accounts, commercial checking accounts and commercial money market accounts were assumed to decay at annual rates of 6%, 22% and 13%, respectively. Callable investments were projected to be called at the first call date where the projected interest rate on similar remaining term instruments was less than the interest rate on the callable investment.

Certain shortcomings are inherent in the method of analysis presented in the above table. The interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while interest rates on other types of assets and liabilities may lag behind changes in market interest rates. The model assumes that the difference between the current interest rate being earned or paid compared to a treasury instrument or other interest index with a similar term to maturity (the Interest Spread) will remain constant over the interest changes disclosed in the table. Changes in Interest Spread could impact projected market value changes. Certain assets, such as ARMs, have features which restrict changes in interest rates on a short-term basis and over the life of the assets. The market value of the interest-bearing assets that are approaching their lifetime interest rate caps could be different from the values disclosed in the table. Certain liabilities, such as certificates of deposit, have fixed rates that restrict interest rate changes until maturity. In the event of a change in interest rates, prepayment and early withdrawal levels may deviate significantly from those assumed in calculating the foregoing table. The ability of many borrowers to service their debt may also decrease in the event of a substantial sustained increase in interest rates.

 

Asset/Liability Management

The Company’s management reviews the impact that changing interest rates will have on the Company’s net interest income projected for the next twelve months to determine if its current level of interest rate risk is acceptable. The following table projects the estimated impact on net interest income during the twelve month period ended March 31, 20222023 of immediate interest rate changes called rate shocks:

The preceding table was prepared utilizing the Model Assumptions. Certain shortcomings are inherent in the method of analysis presented in the foregoing table. In the event of a change in interest rates, prepayment and early withdrawal levels would likely deviate significantly from those assumed in calculating the foregoing table. The ability of many borrowers to service their debt may decrease in the event of a substantial increase in interest rates and could impact net interest income. The decrease in interest income in a declining rate environment is primarily because there are more loans and investments that would reprice to lower interest rates than there are deposits that would be able to be repriced lower to the same extent in the next twelve months.

In an attempt to manage its exposure to changes in interest rates, management closely monitors interest rate risk. The Bank has an Asset/Liability Committee that meets frequently to discuss changes in the interest rate risk position and projected profitability. This Committee makes adjustments to the asset-liability position of the Bank that are reviewed by the Board of Directors of the Bank. This Committee also reviews the Bank's portfolio, formulates investment strategies and oversees the timing and implementation of transactions as intended to assure attainment of the Bank's objectives in an effective manner. In addition, each quarter the Board reviews the Bank's asset/liability position, including simulations of the effect on the Bank's capital of various interest rate scenarios.

 

In managing its asset/liability composition, the Bank may, at times, depending on the relationship between long-term and short-term interest rates, market conditions and consumer preference, place more emphasis on managing net interest margin than on better matching the interest rate sensitivity of its assets and liabilities in an effort to enhance net interest income. Management believes that the increased net interest income resulting from a mismatch in the maturity of its asset and liability portfolios can, in certain situations, provide high enough returns to justify the increased exposure to sudden and unexpected changes in interest rates.

 

To the extent consistent with its interest rate spread objectives, the Bank attempts to manage its interest rate risk and has taken a number of steps to restructurestructure its balance sheet in order to better match the maturities of its assets and liabilities. In the past, more long-term fixed rate loans were placed into the single family loan portfolio. In recent years, theThe Bank has continued to focussells almost all of its 30 yearoriginated 30-year fixed rate single family residential lending program on loans that are saleable to third parties and generally places only adjustable rate or shorter-term fixed rate loans that meet certain risk characteristics into its loan portfolio. AIn addition, a significant portion of the Bank’s commercial loan production continues to be inloans that are placed into the portfolio are adjustable rate loans or fixed rate loans that reprice every one, two or threein less than five years.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements other than commitments to originate and sell loans in the ordinary course of business.
