HF FINANCIAL CORP.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, except share data)
(Unaudited)

NOTE 1—SELECTED ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Basis of Financial Statement Presentation
 
The consolidated financial information of HF Financial Corp. (the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is unaudited. Interim consolidated financial statements and the notes have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and do not include certain information and footnote disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for complete annual financial statements. Accordingly, these financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014 (“fiscal 2014”), filed with the SEC. 
The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2014, which has been derived from audited financial statements, and the unaudited consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for the six months ended December 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending June 30, 2015.
The interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Home Federal Bank (the “Bank”), HF Financial Group, Inc. (“HF Group”) and HomeFirst Mortgage Corp. (the “Mortgage Corp.”), and the Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, Mid America Capital Services, Inc. (“Mid America Capital”) and Hometown Investment Services, Inc. (“Hometown”).  The interim consolidated financial statements reflect the deconsolidation of the wholly-owned subsidiary trusts of the Company: HF Financial Capital Trust III (“Trust III”), HF Financial Capital Trust IV (“Trust IV”), HF Financial Capital Trust V (“Trust V”) and HF Financial Capital Trust VI (“Trust VI”). See Note 13 of “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.”  All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Management has evaluated subsequent events for potential disclosure or recognition through February 6, 2015, the date of the filing of the consolidated financial statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
Reclassification
 
Certain balances in the consolidated financial statements from prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period's presentation.

The following table summarizes the Bank's compliance with its minimum regulatory capital requirements at December 31, 2014:

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

NOTE 3—EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders (the numerator) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding (the denominator) during the period.  Shares outstanding include the nonvested shares of the Company.  See Note 11 “Stock-Based Compensation Plans” for additional information related to the nonvested share activity.  Shares issued during the period and shares reacquired during the period are weighted for the portion of the period they were outstanding. 
Diluted earnings per common share is similar to the computation of basic earnings per common share except the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the dilutive options outstanding had been exercised.
Following is a reconciliation of the income available to common shareholders and common stock share amounts used in the calculation of basic and diluted EPS for the periods presented:

(1) $8 amortized cost and $8 total other-than-temporary impairment recognized in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.
Management determines the appropriate classification of securities at the date individual securities are acquired and evaluates the appropriateness of such classifications at each statement of financial condition date. Investment securities classified as held to maturity are those debt securities that management has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity, are reported at amortized cost and adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts using a method that approximates level yield. Investment securities classified as available for sale are those debt securities that the Company intends to hold for an indefinite period of time, but may not hold necessarily to maturity, and all equity securities.
Management has a process to identify securities that could potentially have a credit impairment that is other-than-temporary. This process involves evaluating the length of time and extent to which the fair value has been less than the amortized cost basis, reviewing available information regarding the financial position of the issuer, monitoring the rating of the security, and projecting cash flows. Management also determines if it is more likely than not the Company will be required to sell the security before the recovery of its amortized cost which, in some cases, may extend to maturity. To the extent the Company determines that a security is deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired, an impairment loss is recognized.
For all securities that are considered temporarily impaired, the Company does not intend to sell these securities (has not made a decision to sell) and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost, which may occur at maturity. The Company believes that it will collect all principal and interest due on all investments that have amortized cost in excess of fair value that are considered only temporarily impaired.

 The unrealized losses reported for U.S. government agencies relate to one security issued by the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB"). The unrealized losses are primarily attributable to changes in interest rates and the contractual cash flows of these investments which are guaranteed by an agency of the U.S. government. Management does not believe the unrealized losses at December 31, 2014 represent an other-than-temporary impairment for this investment. The Company does not have the intent to sell this security (has not made a decision to sell) and has assessed that it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell this security before anticipated recovery of fair value.

The unrealized losses reported for municipal bonds relate to 15 available for sale and six held to maturity municipal general obligation or revenue bonds. The unrealized losses are primarily attributed to changes in credit spreads or market interest rate increases since the securities were originally acquired, rather than due to credit or other causes. Management does not believe any individual unrealized losses as of December 31, 2014, represent an other-than-temporary impairment for these investments. The Company does not have the intent to sell these securities (has not made a decision to sell) and has assessed that it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell these securities before anticipated recovery of fair value.
The unrealized losses reported for agency residential mortgage-backed securities relate to 103 available for sale securities issued by Federal National Mortgage Association ("FNMA"), the Government National Mortgage Association ("GNMA"), or the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC"). These unrealized losses are primarily attributable to changes in interest rates and the contractual cash flows of those investments which are guaranteed by an agency of the U.S. government. Management does not believe any of these unrealized losses as of December 31, 2014, represent an other-than-temporary impairment for those investments. The Company does not have the intent to sell these securities (has not made a decision to sell) and has assessed that it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell these securities before anticipated recovery of fair value.

Credit Quality Indicators
The Company 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. For loans other than residential and consumer, the Company analyzes loans individually, by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis includes non-term loans, regardless of balance and term loans with an outstanding balance greater than $100. Each loan is reviewed annually, at a minimum. Specific events applicable to the loan may trigger an additional review prior to its scheduled review, if such event is determined to possibly modify the risk classification. The summary of the analysis for the portfolio is calculated on a monthly basis. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

Pass—Loans classified as pass represent loans that are evaluated and are performing under the stated terms. Pass rated assets are analyzed by the pay capacity, the current net worth, and the value of the loan collateral of the obligor.
Special Mention—Loans classified as special mention possess potential weaknesses that require management attention, but do not yet warrant adverse classification. While the status of a loan put on this list may not technically trigger their classification as Substandard or Doubtful, it is considered a proactive way to identify potential issues and address them before the situation deteriorates further and does result in a loss for the Company.
Substandard—Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth, paying capacity of the obligor, or by the collateral pledged. Substandard loans must have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the repayment of the debt as originally contracted. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain a loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
Doubtful—Loans classified as doubtful have the weaknesses of those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable. Loans that fall into this class are deemed collateral dependent and an individual impairment analysis is performed on all relationships. Loans in this category are allocated a specific reserve if the estimated discounted cash flows from the loan (or collateral value less cost to sell for collateral dependent loans) does not support the outstanding loan balance or charged off if deemed uncollectible.
The following tables summarize the credit quality indicators used to determine the credit quality by class within the portfolio segments:

At December 31, 2014, the Company had identified $23,417 of loans as impaired which includes performing troubled debt restructurings. A loan is identified as impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement and thus are placed on non-accrual status. Interest income on impaired loans is recognized on a cash basis. The average carrying amount is calculated for each quarter by using the daily average balance, which is then averaged with the other quarters' averages to determine an annual average balance.

No additional funds are committed to be advanced in connection with impaired loans.
Modifications of terms for the Company's loans and their inclusion as troubled debt restructurings are based on individual facts and circumstances. Loan modifications that are included as troubled debt restructurings may involve reduction of the interest rate or renewing at an interest rate below current market rates, extension of the term of the loan and/or forgiveness of principal, regardless of the period of the modification.
Loans and leases that are considered troubled debt restructurings are factored into the determination of the allowance for loan and lease losses through impaired loan analysis and any subsequent allocation of specific valuation allowance, if applicable. The Company measures impairment on an individual loan and the extent to which a specific valuation allowance is necessary by comparing the loan's outstanding balance to either the fair value of the collateral, less the estimated cost to sell or the present value of expected cash flows, discounted at the loan's effective interest rate. During fiscal 2015, new TDRs consisted of one commercial business loan and 15 consumer loans. Of these new TDRs, 16 were evaluated for impairment based on collateral adequacy and none was evaluated based on discounted cash flows.

Excluded from above, at December 31, 2014, the Company had one commercial business loan with a recorded balance of $86 and three consumer loans with a recorded balance of $96 that were originally restructured in fiscal 2014. The commercial business and consumer loans are not in compliance with their restructured terms and are in nonaccrual status. At June 30, 2014, the Company had one commercial real estate loan with a recorded balance of $10 that was originally restructured in fiscal 2014 and two consumer loans with a recorded balance of $6 that were originally restructured in fiscal 2014. Loans can retain their accrual status at the time of their modification if the restructuring is not a result of terminated loan payments. For nonaccruing loans, a minimum of six months of performance related to the restructured terms are required before a loan is returned to accruing status.

Changes to carrying amounts are reported net of loan servicing income on the statements of income for the periods presented.
Amortization of servicing rights is adjusted each quarter based upon analysis of portfolio attributes and factors, including an evaluation of historical prepayment activity and prospective industry consensus rates.  For the quarters ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the constant prepayment rates (CPR) used to calculate the amortization were 9.1% and 11.2%, respectively.  For valuation purposes, management utilized a discount rate of 10.5% and 10.0% at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.  Prepayment speeds utilized at December 31, 2014 and 2013 were 9.4% and 9.4%, respectively, which are used in the calculation of the amortization expense for the subsequent quarter.  Prepayment speeds are analyzed and adjusted each quarter.

NOTE 8—SEGMENT REPORTING 
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which discrete financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision makers in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.  The Company’s reportable segments are “banking” (including leasing activities) and “other”. The “banking” segment is conducted through the Bank and Mid America Capital and the “other” segment is composed of smaller non-reportable segments, the Company and intersegment eliminations.
The management approach is used as the conceptual basis for identifying reportable segments and is based on the way that management organizes the segments within the enterprise for making operating decisions, allocating resources and monitoring performance, which is primarily based on products.

NOTE 9—DEFINED BENEFIT PLAN
The Company has a noncontributory (cash balance) defined benefit pension plan covering employees of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries who were hired prior to July 1, 2013, have attained the age of 21, and have completed 1,000 hours in a plan year. The benefits are based on 6% of each eligible participant's annual compensation, plus income earned in the accounts at a rate determined annually based on 30-year Treasury note rates. The Company's funding policy is to make the minimum annual required contribution plus such amounts as the Company may determine to be appropriate from time to time. 100% vesting occurs after three years with a retirement age of the later of age 65 or three years of participation.
The information relative to the components of net periodic benefit cost for the Company’s defined benefit plan is presented below.

The Company previously disclosed in its consolidated financial statements for fiscal 2014, which are included in Part II, Item 8 “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, that it contributed $455 in fiscal 2014 to fund its qualified pension plan.  During the second quarter of fiscal 2015, the Company contributed $410 to fund its qualified pension plan.  The Company does not anticipate funding any additional contributions for fiscal 2015.
NOTE 10—SELF-INSURED HEALTHCARE PLAN
 The Company has self-insured health and dental plans for its employees, subject to certain limits. The Bank is named the plan administrator for these plans and has retained the services of independent third party administrators to process claims and handle other duties for these plans.  The third party administrators do not assume liability for benefits payable under these plans. To mitigate a portion of the risks involved with the self-insured health plan, the Company has a stop loss insurance policy through a commercial insurance carrier for coverage in excess of $75 per individual occurrence.
 The Company assumes the responsibility for funding the plan benefits out of general assets; however, employees cover some of the costs of covered benefits through contributions, deductibles, co-pays and participation amounts.  An employee is eligible for coverage upon completion of 30 calendar days of regular employment.  The plans, which are on a calendar year basis, are intended to comply with, and be governed by, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.
The accrual estimate for pending and incurred but not reported health claims is based upon a pending claims lag report provided by a third party provider.  Although management believes that it uses the best information available to determine the accrual, unforeseen health claims could result in adjustments and net earnings being significantly affected if circumstances differ substantially from the assumptions used in estimating the accrual.  Net healthcare costs are inclusive of health and dental claims expenses and administration fees offset by stop loss and employee reimbursement.

NOTE 13—SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES PAYABLE TO TRUSTS
The Company has issued and outstanding 24,000 shares totaling $24,000 of Company Obligated Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Securities. These four Trusts were established and exist for the sole purpose of issuing trust preferred securities and investing the proceeds in subordinated debentures of the Company. These subordinated debentures constitute the sole assets of the four Trusts. The securities provide for cumulative cash distributions calculated at a rate based on three-month LIBOR plus a range from 1.65% to 3.35% adjusted quarterly. The Company may, at one or more times, defer interest payments on the capital securities for up to 20 consecutive quarterly periods, but not beyond the respective maturity date. At the end of the deferral period, all accumulated and unpaid distributions must be paid. The capital securities have redemption dates ranging from January 7, 2033 to October 1, 2037; however, the Company has the option to shorten the respective maturity date for all four securities as the call option date has passed. Holders of the capital securities have no voting rights, are unsecured, and rank junior in priority of the payment to all of the Company's indebtedness and senior to the Company's capital stock.

NOTE 14—INTEREST RATE CONTRACTS
Interest rate swap contracts are entered into primarily as an asset/liability management strategy of the Company to modify interest rate risk. The primary risk associated with all swaps is the exposure to movements in interest rates and the ability of the counterparties to meet the terms of the contract. The Company is exposed to losses if the counterparty fails to make its payments under a contract in which the Company is in a receiving status. The Company minimizes its risk by monitoring the credit standing of the counterparties. The Company anticipates the counterparties will be able to fully satisfy their obligations under the remaining agreements. These contracts are typically designated as cash flow hedges.
The Company has outstanding interest rate swap agreements with notional amounts totaling $13,000 to convert two variable-rate trust preferred securities into fixed-rate instruments. The agreements have a weighted average maturity of 1.7 years and have fixed rates ranging from 5.68% to 6.58% with a weighted average rate of 5.89%. The fair value of the derivatives was an unrealized loss of $702 at December 31, 2014 and an unrealized loss of $1,194 at December 31, 2013. The Company pledged $794 in cash under collateral arrangements as of December 31, 2014, to satisfy collateral requirements associated with these interest rate swap contracts.
The Company has borrower interest rate swap agreements with notional amounts totaling $35,520 to facilitate customer transactions and meet the borrower's financing needs. These swaps qualify as derivatives, but consist of two different types of instruments. The back-to-back loan swaps are not designated as hedging instruments, while the one-way loan swaps are classified as fair value hedging instruments. The loan interest rate swap derivatives had no impact on the consolidated statements of income for the first six months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. Any amounts due to the Company are expected to be collected from the borrowers. Credit risk exists if the borrower's collateral or financial condition indicates that the underlying collateral or financial condition of the borrower makes it probable that amounts due will be uncollectible. Management monitors this credit exposure on a quarterly basis.  
No deferred net losses on interest rate swaps in other comprehensive loss as of December 31, 2014, are expected to be reclassified into net income during the current fiscal year. See Note 15 "Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss" for amounts reported as other comprehensive loss.

NOTE 16—FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and financial guarantees. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest-rate risk in excess of amounts recognized in the consolidated statements of financial condition. The contract or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of the Company's involvement in particular classes of financial instruments.
The Company's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, and financial guarantees written is represented by the contractual notional amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.
Unless noted otherwise, the Company does not require collateral or other security to support financial instruments with credit risk.
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the fair value of its financial instruments:
Cash and cash equivalents—The carrying amounts reported in the statements of financial condition for cash and cash equivalents approximate their fair values.
Securities—Fair values for investment securities are based on quoted market prices or whose value is determined using discounted cash flow methodologies, except for correspondent bank stock for which fair value is assumed to equal cost.
Loans and leases, net—The fair values for loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms and credit quality. Leases are stated at cost which equals fair value.
Accrued interest receivable—The carrying value of accrued interest receivable approximates its fair value.
Servicing rights—Fair values are estimated using discounted cash flows based on current market rates of interest.
Interest rate swap contracts—Valuations of interest rate swap contracts are based on inputs observed in active markets for similar instruments. Typical inputs include the LIBOR curve, option volatility and option skew.
Off-statement-of-financial-condition instruments—Fair values for the Company's off-statement-of-financial-condition instruments (unused lines of credit and letters of credit), which are based upon fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and counterparties' credit standing, are not significant. Many of the Company's off-statement-of-financial-condition instruments, primarily loan commitments and standby letters of credit, are expected to expire without being drawn upon; therefore, the commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.
Deposits—The fair values for deposits with no defined maturities equal their carrying amounts, which represent the amount payable on demand. Fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on a comparably termed wholesale funding alternative (i.e., FHLB borrowings).
Borrowed funds—The carrying amounts reported for variable rate advances approximate their fair values. Fair values for fixed-rate advances and other borrowings are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates currently being offered on advances and borrowings with corresponding maturity dates.
Subordinated debentures payable to trusts—Fair values for subordinated debentures are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies interest rates on comparable borrowing instruments with corresponding maturity dates.
Accrued interest payable and advances by borrowers for taxes and insurance—The carrying values of accrued interest payable and advances by borrowers for taxes and insurance approximate their fair values.

Fair Value Measurement
The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. The fair value of a financial instrument is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices. However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Company's various financial instruments. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument.
Fair value accounting guidance provides a consistent definition of fair value, which focuses on exit price in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. If there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability, a change in valuation technique or the use of multiple valuation techniques may be appropriate. In such instances, determining the price at which willing market participants would transact at the measurement date under current market conditions depends on the facts and circumstances and requires the use of significant judgment. The fair value is a reasonable point within the range that is most representative of fair value under current market conditions.
The Company groups its financial assets and financial liabilities generally measured at fair value in 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.
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

The Company used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate the fair value of items:
Securities available for sale: The fair values of securities available for sale are determined by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1 inputs), or matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities, but rather by relying on the securities' relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2 inputs). The Company outsources this valuation primarily to a third party provider which utilizes several sources for valuing fixed-income securities. Sources utilized by the third party provider include pricing models that vary based by asset class and include available trade, bid, and other market information. This methodology includes broker quotes, proprietary models, descriptive terms and conditions databases, as well as extensive quality control programs. As further valuation sources, the third party provider uses a proprietary valuation model and capital markets trading staff. This proprietary valuation model is used for valuing municipal securities. This model includes a separate yield curve structure for Bank-Qualified municipal securities. The grouping of municipal securities is further broken down according to insurer, credit support, state of issuance, and rating to incorporate additional spreads and municipal curves. Management reviews this third party analysis and has approved the values estimated for the fair values.
Loans and leases receivable: The fair values for loans that have been repurchased are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, which discounts the stated rate at 20%.
Interest rate swap contracts: The fair values of interest rate swap contracts relate to cash flow hedges of trust preferred debt securities issued by the Company and for specific borrower interest rate swap contracts classified as fair value hedges and non-designated derivatives. The fair value is estimated by a third party using inputs that are observable or that can be corroborated by observable market data and, therefore, are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. These fair value estimations include primarily market observable inputs, such as yield curves, and include the value associated with counterparty credit risk. Management reviews this third party analysis and has approved the values estimated for the fair values.
The Company had no assets or liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) during fiscal years 2015 and 2014 and thus, no reconciliation is presented.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of impaired loans not dependent on collateral primarily relate to present value of cash flows. Cash flows are derived from scenarios which estimate the probability of default and factor in the amount of estimated principal loss. The resulting fair value is then compared to the carrying value of each credit and a specific valuation allowance is recorded when the carrying value exceeds the fair value.
The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of collateral for collateral-dependent impaired loans primarily relate to customized discounting criteria applied to the customer's reported amount of collateral. The amount of the collateral discount depends upon the marketability of the underlying collateral. The Company's primary objective in the event of default would be to monetize the collateral to settle the outstanding balance of the loan, in which collateral with lesser marketability characteristics would receive a larger discount.
The Credit Administration department evaluates the valuations on impaired loans and other real estate owned monthly. The results of these valuations are reviewed at least quarterly by the internal Asset Classification Committee and are considered in the overall calculation of the allowance for loan and lease losses. Unobservable inputs are monitored and adjusted if market conditions change.
Servicing rights, net do not trade in an active, open market with readily observable prices. While sales of mortgage servicing rights do occur, the precise terms and conditions typically are not readily available to allow for a “quoted price for similar assets” comparison. Accordingly, the Company relies on an internal discounted cash flow model to estimate the fair value of its mortgage servicing rights. The Company uses a valuation model to project mortgage servicing rights cash flows based on the current interest rate scenario, which is then discounted to estimate an expected fair value of the mortgage servicing rights. The valuation model considers portfolio characteristics of the underlying mortgages, contractually specified servicing fees, prepayment assumptions, discount rate assumptions, other ancillary revenue, costs to service, and other economic factors. Certain tranches of the portfolio may exhibit distinct liquidity traits compared to other tranches. The Company reassesses and periodically adjusts the underlying inputs and assumptions used in the model to reflect market conditions, and assumptions that a market participant would consider in valuing the mortgage servicing rights asset. In addition, the Company compares its fair value estimates and assumptions to observable market data for mortgage servicing rights, where available, and to recent market activity and actual portfolio experience. Due to the nature of the valuation inputs, mortgage servicing rights are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company uses the amortization method (i.e., lower of amortized cost or estimated fair value), not fair value measurement accounting, for its servicing rights assets.
Foreclosed real estate and other properties include those assets which have subsequent market adjustments after the original possession as a foreclosed asset. The estimated fair value is based on what the local markets are currently offering for assets with similar characteristics, less costs to sell, which the Company classifies as a Level 3 fair value measurement. Foreclosed assets which have market adjustments due to the modifications in values that are not reflected in the most recent

Executive Summary
The Company's net income for the first six months of fiscal 2015 was $944,000, or $0.13 in basic and diluted earnings per common share, compared to $3.1 million, or $0.45 in basic and diluted earnings per common share, for the first six months of fiscal 2014. This resulted in a return on average equity (i.e., net income divided by average equity) of 1.83% and 6.48%, respectively, in the year-over-year comparison, while the return on average assets (i.e., net income divided by average assets) was 0.15% and 0.50%, respectively.
Core diluted earnings per share, a non-GAAP measure, was $0.51 compared to $0.41 for the six months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. This financial measure is adjusted from GAAP net income and diluted earnings per share for the effects of the one-time charges related to prepayment of FHLB term borrowings, gain or losses on investment security sales, and effects of branch closure costs. See “Reconciliation of GAAP Earnings and Core Earnings” for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure and for further discussion as to the reasons we believe this non-GAAP financial measure is useful.
During the second fiscal quarter, $84.9 million of FHLB term borrowings were prepaid which resulted in a one-time pre-tax charge to noninterest expense of $4.1 million. Management believes the resulting impact will be to improve the net interest margin by approximately 40 basis points in subsequent quarters. The longer-term funds which carried a weighted average interest cost of 3.09% were replaced on a net basis with less expensive short-term funding at a significantly lower rate. Management expects borrowing balances to decline in upcoming quarters as investment securities mature or are sold and proceeds are used to repay the newly acquired short-term borrowings.
Net interest income for the first six months of fiscal 2015 was $17.7 million, an increase of $3.1 million, or 21.2%, compared to the same period a year ago.  For the comparative time-frames, average interest-earning assets and average interest-bearing liabilities increased 1.3% and 2.1%, respectively. The average yield on interest-earning assets increased to 3.61% for the first six months of fiscal 2015, compared to 3.28% a year ago, an increase of 33 basis points, due primarily to the 11.9% growth in average loan balances, a large net recovery of non-accrued interest, and a decrease in the average balances of lower-yielding investment securities of 17.2%. The net recovery of non-accruing interest during fiscal 2015 of $753,000 improved the net interest margin by 13 basis points on a year-to-date basis. During the second quarter of fiscal 2015, a $771,000 interest recovery was recognized from a dairy-related loan relationship, which increased interest income, but would have been earned during prior quarters had it been in accrual status. The improved mix of earning assets, which features increased higher-earning loan assets versus investment securities assets was also a component of the increase when compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. For the six months ended December 31, 2014, cost of deposits, which include all interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing deposits, decreased by 6 basis points to 0.38%, compared to 0.44% for the same period of the prior fiscal year.
The net interest margin expressed on a fully taxable equivalent basis (“Net Interest Margin, TE”) for the six months ended December 31, 2014 was 3.01%, which is an increase of 50 basis points from the same period of the prior fiscal year. Net interest income attributable to the increases in average balances of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities amounted to a net increase of $1.8 million for the six month period when compared to the same period of the prior year. Interest-earning asset average balance net increases contributed to an increase of $1.6 million in interest revenue, while the decline in average balances of FHLB advances and other borrowings of 12.1% primarily drove net interest expense savings of $247,000 for the year-over-year comparison. The yield on interest-earning assets increased by 33 basis points and resulted in an increase of net interest income of $657,000, while the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities decreased 18 basis points and resulted in a decrease in interest expense of $622,000. The combined effects of volume and rate changes resulted in an overall net interest income increase of $3.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2014 when compared to the same period of the prior year.
Average loans and leases receivable balances increased by $88.5 million, when compared to the same period of the prior year, and were funded by a reduction in average investment securities of $71.9 million and a net increase in interest-bearing

38



liabilities of $20.0 million. Average balances of interest-bearing deposits increased $40.7 million for the year-over-year comparison, while FHLB advances and other borrowings decreased by $20.7 million, which resulted in a mix of liabilities that lessened the average rates paid on the interest-bearing liabilities compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. Net Interest Margin, TE is a non-GAAP financial measure.  See “Analysis of Net Interest Income” for a calculation of this non-GAAP financial measure and for further discussion as to the reasons we believe this non-GAAP financial measure is useful.
Total loans increased by $43.2 million during the first six months of fiscal 2015 to $855.1 million at December 31, 2014, compared to $811.9 million at June 30, 2014 and $745.8 million at December 31, 2013. Commercial real estate and agricultural lending portfolios increased by $48.4 million and $16.4 million, respectively, since the prior fiscal year end, while strong underwriting standards remain in place. Commercial business loans decreased by $12.8 million in the first six months of fiscal 2015 due primarily to a customer relationship payoff which affected outstanding balances. We believe the overall increase in average loan balances was attributable to a gradual improvement in general economic conditions, resulting in the willingness of borrowers to consider incurring more debt to support growth in their businesses, while also acknowledging that we continue to operate in uncertain national economic and fiscal conditions. We believe that the operating environment has resulted in increased competition among financial institutions for loan demand from credit-worthy borrowers.
The allowance for loan and lease losses increased by $431,000 to $10.9 million at December 31, 2014, compared to June 30, 2014.  The ratio of allowance for loan and lease losses to total loans and leases was 1.28% compared to 1.29% at June 30, 2014. The overall loan balances increased by $43.2 million during the first six months of fiscal 2015, while nonperforming loans decreased by $4.5 million to $12.8 million and the amount of classified assets increased by $1.3 million to $31.5 million at December 31, 2014. The Company continues to pro-actively manage its problem assets of which certain have been supported by improving conditions in the regional commercial and agricultural markets, including livestock and dairy operations. The provision for loan and lease losses, which results from adjusting the allowance for loan and lease losses to the estimated amount needed to reserve for the loan and lease portfolio, was $919,000 for the first six months of fiscal 2015. Total nonperforming assets at December 31, 2014 were $12.8 million as compared to $17.5 million at June 30, 2014.  The ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets decreased to 1.01% at December 31, 2014, compared to 1.37% at June 30, 2014.  Net charge-offs for the six month period ended December 31, 2014 were $488,000 and represent 0.12% of average loans and leases for the period. The allowance recorded in accordance with ASC 450 increased by $454,000 due primarily to increases in the applicable loan balances since the prior fiscal year end and adjusted based on management's assessment of the allowance using historical charge-off activity and environmental factor information. The allowance recorded in accordance with ASC 310 on identified impaired loans minimally decreased by $23,000 to $460,000 at December 31, 2014, and consisted primarily of consumer loans. All identified impaired loans are reviewed to assess the borrower's ability to make payments under the terms of the loan and/or a shortfall in collateral value that would result in charging off the loan or the portion of the loan that was impaired.
 Foreclosed real estate and other properties totaled $2,000 at December 31, 2014, compared to $180,000 at June 30, 2014, or a decrease of $178,000. The balance at December 31, 2014 was composed entirely from a consumer loan that was foreclosed and remained unsold at quarter end. 
The allowance for loan and lease losses is calculated based on loan and lease levels, loan and lease loss history over 36 month rolling time periods, credit quality of the loan and lease portfolio, and environmental factors such as economic health of the region and management experience.  This risk rating analysis is designed to give the Company a consistent and systematic methodology to determine proper levels for the allowance at a given time.  Management intends to continue its disciplined credit administration and loan underwriting processes and to remain focused on the creditworthiness of new loan originations.  Management believes that it has identified the most significant nonperforming assets in the loan portfolio and is working to clarify and resolve the credit, credit administration, and environmental factor issues related to these assets to obtain the most favorable outcome for the Company.
 Total deposits at December 31, 2014 were $946.8 million, a decrease of $52.4 million from June 30, 2014. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $46.0 million from public fund deposits and a decrease of $6.1 million from in-market, non-public fund customer deposits. Public funds have seasonal fluctuations due to semiannual tax collection and subsequent disbursement to entities. Interest rates on deposits decreased to the average rate paid of 0.45% on interest-bearing deposits for the six month period ended December 31, 2014, compared to 0.53% for the same period of the prior year.
 On January 26, 2015, the Company announced it will pay a quarterly cash dividend of 11.25 cents per common share for the second quarter of fiscal 2015.  The dividend will be paid on February 13, 2015, to stockholders of record on February 6, 2015.

On July 28, 2014 the Bank filed an application (the “Bank Application”) with the South Dakota Department of Labor and Regulation, Division of Banking (“DOB”) to convert from a federally chartered savings association to a South Dakota state-chartered banking corporation (the “Bank Conversion”).  On September 15, 2015 the DOB issued a Decision and Order approving the Bank Application.  On September 22, 2014 the Bank filed an application with the FDIC (the “FDIC Application”) in connection with the Bank Conversion.  On December 23, 2014 the FDIC issued a letter approving the Bank Conversion.  In connection with the Bank Conversion and as required by Federal Reserve regulations, on November 24, 2014 the Company filed an application (the “Company Application”) with the Federal Reserve to convert from a savings and loan holding company to a bank holding company.  Upon the Federal Reserve’s approval of the Company Application, the Bank Conversion would be consummated upon the effectiveness of certain additional filings with the DOB.
 The total risk-based capital ratio of 13.86% at December 31, 2014, decreased by 68 basis points from 14.54% at June 30, 2014.  Tier I capital decreased three basis points to 9.46% at December 31, 2014 when compared to 9.49% at June 30, 2014. The decrease in total risk-based capital stems from management's successful efforts to generate loan growth, which require a higher risk-weighting than do investment securities or cash. The Tier I capital remained relatively neutral due to the combined amount of net income and the reduction in unrealized losses in equity, and offset by the payment of dividends. These ratios continue to place the Company in the “well-capitalized” category within financial institution regulations at December 31, 2014 and are consistent with the “well-capitalized” regulatory category in which the Company plans to operate.  The Company historically has been able to manage the size of its assets through secondary market loan sales of single-family mortgages.
 Noninterest income was $6.5 million for the six months ended December 31, 2014, compared to $8.1 million for the same period in the prior fiscal year, a decrease of $1.6 million.  This decrease was due to decreases in mortgage banking revenue, gain on sale of investment securities and a loss on the disposal of closed-branch fixed assets. Net loan servicing income and net gain on sale of loans decreased by $714,000 and $396,000, respectively, due to a prior year recovery of servicing valuation allowance of $875,000 for which there was no allowance remaining to recover in the current fiscal year; and an overall reduction in mortgage originations due in part to reduced refinance activity. Gain on sale of investment securities decreased by $399,000 due to fewer sales of investment securities and the increase in investment securities sold at a loss when comparing the year over year periods. In addition, the closure of a branch office during the current fiscal year resulted in a loss on disposal of closed branch fixed assets of $163,000, which reduces other income. The branch closure was made in the continued efforts to improve operating efficiencies. Partially offsetting the decreases to noninterest income were commission and insurance income which increased by $155,000 when comparing the current six month period to the same period of the prior fiscal year. This increase is due primarily to an increase in managed funds fee income which results as assets within this category have increased. Fees on deposits decreased by $106,000 for the first six months of fiscal 2015 when compared to the same period of the prior year primarily due to decreases in NSF/Overdraft fees of $106,000 and point-of-sale income reductions of $101,000. NSF/Overdraft fee decreases were attributed to reduced transactions and point-of-sale income decreases were due to a lower earnings structure. Partially offsetting these decreases were net service charges and ATM service fees of $50,000 and $35,000, respectively in the year-over-year comparison. Other noninterest income decreased by $59,000 due primarily to a one-time charge recorded of $64,000 from the sale of land previously held for future branch expansion. The sale of land occurred in the second quarter of fiscal 2015.
Noninterest expense was $22.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2014, as compared to $18.1 million for the same period of the prior fiscal year, an increase of $4.1 million, or 22.4%.  The increase was attributed primarily to the prepayment of long-term FHLB advances of $84.9 million, which resulted in a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $4.1 million. Other noteworthy increases in noninterest expense were an increase in compensation and employee benefits of $32,000 and check and data processing expense increases of $135,000. Compensation costs increased primarily due to increased healthcare costs of $218,000, which resulted from specific high dollar claims from which stop-loss thresholds were exceeded and partial reinsurance recovery was received. In addition, variable and incentive pay and base salary wages contributed with increases of $49,000 and $19,000, respectively. Deferred loan costs partially offset these increases with an increased deferral amount of $196,000, which reduced compensation expense. Foreclosed real estate and other properties partially reduced the noninterest expense increases with a $219,000 decrease in the year-over-year comparison. This was due to fewer properties held in foreclosure and sold when compared to the prior fiscal year.

Reconciliation of GAAP Earnings and Core Earnings
Although core earnings are not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, the Company believes that its core earnings are an important indication of performance through ongoing operations. The Company believes that core earnings are useful to management and investors in evaluating its ongoing operating performance, and in comparing its performance with other companies in the banking industry. Core earnings should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP earnings. During the periods presented, the Company calculated core earnings by adding back or subtracting, net of tax, net gain or loss recorded on the sale of securities, the charges incurred from the prepayment of borrowings, and costs incurred for branch closures.

General
The Company is a financial services provider and, as such, has inherent risks that must be managed in order to achieve net income. Primary risks that affect net income include credit risk, liquidity risk, operational risk, regulatory compliance risk and reputation risk. The Company's net income is derived by management of the net interest margin, the ability to collect fees from services provided, by controlling the costs of delivering services and the management of loan and lease losses. The primary source of revenues is the net interest margin, which represents the difference between income on interest-earning assets (i.e. loans and investment securities) and expense on interest-bearing liabilities (i.e. deposits and borrowed funding). The net interest margin is affected by regulatory, economic and competitive factors that influence interest rates, loan demand and deposit flows. Fees earned include charges for deposit and debit card services, trust services and loan services. Personnel costs are the primary expenses required to deliver the services to customers. Other costs include occupancy and equipment and general and administrative expenses.

Financial Condition Data
At December 31, 2014, the Company had total assets of $1.26 billion, a decrease of $11.7 million from the amount at June 30, 2014. Total investment securities decreased $58.4 million, while total loans and leases receivable increased $43.2 million. Total liabilities decreased $11.9 million primarily due to a decrease in deposits of $52.4 million and offset by an increase in advances from FHLB and other borrowings of $43.5 million. Stockholders' equity increased $210,000 since June 30, 2014, due to improvements in accumulated other comprehensive loss and offset by a decrease in retained earnings.
The increase in loans and leases receivable, net, which excludes loans in process and deferred fees, was $42.8 million due to the increase in loan balances. Commercial real estate and agricultural loans increased $48.4 million and $16.4 million, respectively, while commercial business loans decreased by $12.8 million.
The investment securities, which includes available for sale and held to maturity securities, decreased by $58.4 million due primarily to principal payments, maturities, and the sale of investment securities in excess of investment securities purchased during the first six months of fiscal 2015. Repayments of principal balances of investments securities totaled $38.8 million and the book value of investment securities sold, called or matured were $24.4 million. These reductions in the balance were partially offset by the purchase of investment securities of $6.1 million. In addition, net premium amortization of investment securities and partially offset by increases in market value on investment securities available for sale decreased the amount of recorded balance by $1.3 million for the first six months of fiscal 2015. The Company classifies its investment securities as available for sale and held to maturity. Investment securities available for sale decreased by $59.2 million for the six month ended December 31, 2014, while investment securities held to maturity increased by $811,000.
Loans held for sale increased $2.9 million, to $9.0 million at December 31, 2014, due to residential mortgage loan origination activity in held for sale balances in excess of mortgage loan sales to secondary markets since the prior year end. New home financing remains strong in the local marketplace.
See the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for a detailed analysis of the change in cash and cash equivalents.
Deposits decreased $52.4 million, to $946.8 million at December 31, 2014, due to a $46.0 million decrease in public fund deposits and a $6.1 million decrease from in-market, non-public fund customer deposits. Advances from the FHLB and other borrowings increased $43.5 million, to $164.1 million at December 31, 2014 as compared to June 30, 2014, due to increased short term overnight borrowings resulting from increased lending activities and lower deposit balances.
Stockholders' equity increased $210,000 at December 31, 2014 when compared to June 30, 2014. Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of related deferred tax effect, reflected a decrease of $784,000 since June 30, 2014 and improved stockholders' equity. Retained earnings offset these gains and decreased by $643,000 due to the payment of cash dividends of $1.6 million in excess of net income of $944,000.
Analysis of Net Interest Income
Net interest income represents the difference between income on interest-earning assets and expense on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income depends upon the volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the interest rates earned or paid on them.
Average Balances, Interest Rates and Yields.    The following tables present for the periods indicated, the total dollar amount of interest income from average interest-earning assets and the resulting yields, as well as the interest expense on average interest-bearing liabilities, expressed both in dollars and rates, and the net interest margin. The tables do not reflect any effect of income taxes. Average balances consist of daily average balances for the Bank with simple average balances for all other subsidiaries of the Company. The average balances include nonaccruing loans and leases. The yields on loans and leases include origination fees, net of costs, which are considered adjustments to yield.

Net interest margin expressed on a fully taxable equivalent basis ("Net Interest Margin, TE") is a non-GAAP financial measure. See the following Non-GAAP Disclosure Reconciliation of Net Interest Income (GAAP) to Net Interest Margin, TE (Non-GAAP). The tax-equivalent adjustment to net interest income recognizes the income tax savings when comparing taxable and tax-exempt assets and adjusting for federal and state exemption of interest income and certain other permanent income tax differences. We believe that it is a standard practice in the banking industry to present net interest margin expressed on a fully taxable equivalent basis, and accordingly believe the presentation of this non-GAAP financial measure may be useful for peer comparison purposes. As a non-GAAP financial measure, Net Interest Margin, TE should be considered supplemental to and not a substitute for or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. As other companies may use different calculations for Net Interest Margin, TE, this presentation may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Net interest margin expressed on a fully taxable equivalent basis ("Net Interest Margin, TE") is a non-GAAP financial measure. See the following Non-GAAP Disclosure Reconciliation of Net Interest Income (GAAP) to Net Interest Margin, TE (Non-GAAP). The tax-equivalent adjustment to net interest income recognizes the income tax savings when comparing taxable and tax-exempt assets and adjusting for federal and state exemption of interest income and certain other permanent income tax differences. We believe that it is a standard practice in the banking industry to present net interest margin expressed on a fully taxable equivalent basis, and accordingly believe the presentation of this non-GAAP financial measure may be useful for peer comparison purposes. As a non-GAAP financial measure, Net Interest Margin, TE should be considered supplemental to and not a substitute for or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. As other companies may use different calculations for Net Interest Margin, TE, this presentation may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Rate/Volume Analysis of Net Interest Income
The following schedule presents the dollar amount of changes in interest income and interest expense for major components of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. It distinguishes between increases and decreases resulting from fluctuating outstanding balances that are due to the levels and volatility of interest rates. For each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, information is provided on changes attributable to (i) changes in volume (i.e., changes in volume multiplied by previous rate) and (ii) changes in rate (i.e., changes in rate multiplied by previous volume). For purposes of this table, changes attributable to both rate and volume, which cannot be segregated, have been allocated proportionately to the change due to volume and the change due to rate.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies
GAAP requires management to utilize estimates when reporting financial results. The Company has identified the policies discussed below as Critical Accounting Policies because the accounting estimates require management to make certain assumptions about matters that may be uncertain at the time the estimate was made and a different method of estimating could have been reasonably made that could have a material impact on the presentation of the Company's financial condition, changes in financial condition or results of operations.
Investment Securities. Management determines the appropriate classification of securities at the date individual securities are acquired and evaluates the appropriateness of such classifications at each statement of financial condition date.
Investment securities classified as held to maturity are those debt securities that management has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity, and are reported at amortized cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts, using a method that approximates level yield. Investment securities classified as available for sale are those debt securities that the Company intends to hold for an indefinite period of time, but may not hold necessarily to maturity, and all equity securities. Any decision to sell a security classified as available for sale would be based on various factors, including significant movements in interest rates, changes in the maturity mix of the Company's assets and liabilities, liquidity needs, regulatory capital considerations, and other similar factors. Investment securities available for sale are carried at fair value and unrealized gains or losses are reported as increases or decreases in other comprehensive income net of the related deferred tax effect. Sales of securities available for sale are recorded on a trade date basis.
Premiums and discounts on securities are amortized over the contractual lives of those securities, except for agency residential mortgage-backed securities, for which prepayments are probable and predictable, which are amortized over the estimated expected repayment terms of the underlying mortgages. The method of amortization results in a constant effective yield on those securities (the interest method). Interest on debt securities is recognized in income as accrued. Realized gains and losses on the sale of securities are determined using the specific identification method.
Investment Securities Impairment.    Management has a process in place to identify securities that could potentially have a credit impairment that is other-than-temporary. This process involves the length of time and extent to which the fair value has been less than the amortized cost basis, review of available information regarding the financial position of the issuer, monitoring the rating of the security, cash flow projections, and the Company's intent to sell a security or whether it is more likely than not the Company will be required to sell the security before the recovery of its amortized cost which, in some cases, may extend to maturity. To the extent we determine that a security is deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired, an impairment loss is recognized. If the Company intends to sell a security or it is more likely than not that the Company would be required to sell a security before the recovery of its amortized cost, less any current period credit loss, the Company recognizes an other-than-temporary impairment in net income for the difference between amortized cost and fair value. If we do not expect to recover the amortized cost basis, we do not plan to sell the security and if it is not more likely than not that the Company would be required to sell a security before the recovery of it amortized cost, less any current period credit loss, the recognition of the other-than-temporary impairment is bifurcated. For those securities, the Company separates the total impairment into a credit loss component recognized in net income, and the amount of the loss related to other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income net of taxes.
The amount of the credit loss component of a security impairment is estimated as the difference between amortized cost and the present value of the expected cash flows of the security. The present value is determined using the best estimate cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate implicit to the security at the date of purchase or the current yield to accrete an asset-backed or floating rate security. At December 31, 2014, the Company does not have other-than-temporarily impaired securities for which credit losses exist.
Level 3 Fair Value Measurement.    GAAP requires the Company to measure the fair value of financial instruments under a standard which describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value. Level 3 measurement includes significant unobservable inputs that reflect the Company's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose value is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation. This valuation process may take into consideration factors such as market liquidity. Imprecision in estimating these factors can impact the amount recorded on the balance sheet for a particular asset or liability with related impacts to earnings or other comprehensive income (loss).
Although management believes that it uses a best estimate of information available to determine fair value, due to the uncertainty of future events, the approach includes a process that may differ significantly from other methodologies and still produce an estimate that is in accordance with GAAP.

46



Loans Held for Sale. Loans receivable, which the Bank may sell or intend to sell prior to maturity, are carried at the lower of net book value or fair value on an aggregate basis. Such loans held for sale include loans receivable that management intends to use as part of its asset/liability strategy, or that may be sold in response to changes in interest rates, changes in prepayment risk or other similar factors.
Loans and Leases Receivable.    Loans receivable are stated at unpaid principal balances and net of deferred loan origination fees, costs and discounts.
The Company's leases receivable are classified as direct finance leases. Under the direct financing method of accounting for leases, the total net payments receivable under the lease contracts and the residual value of the leased equipment, net of unearned income, are recorded as a net investment in direct financing leases and the unearned income is recognized each month on a basis which approximates the interest method.
In accordance with ASC 310, the loan portfolio was disaggregated into segments and then further disaggregated into classes for certain disclosures. A portfolio segment is defined as the level at which an entity develops and documents a systematic method for determining its allowance for credit losses. A class is generally determined based on the initial measurement attribute, risk characteristics of the loan, and an entity's method for monitoring and assessing credit risk. Residential and Consumer loan portfolio segments include classes of one-to- four- family, construction, consumer direct, consumer home equity, consumer overdraft and reserves, and consumer indirect. Commercial, Commercial Real Estate and Agriculture loan portfolio segments include the classes of commercial business, equipment finance leases, commercial real estate, multi-family real estate, construction, agricultural business, and agricultural real estate.
Interest on loans is recognized on an accrual basis at the applicable interest rate on the principal amount outstanding. Loan origination fees and direct costs as well as premiums and discounts are amortized as level yield adjustments over the respective loan terms. Unamortized net fees or costs are recognized upon early repayment of the loans. Loan commitment fees are generally deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the commitment period.
Impaired loans are generally carried on a nonaccrual status when there are reasonable doubts as to the collectability of principal and/or interest and/or when payment becomes 90 days past due, except loans which are well secured and in the process of collection. For all portfolio segments and classes accrued but uncollected, interest is reversed and charged against interest income when the loan is placed on nonaccrual status. Management may elect to continue the accrual of interest when the estimated net realizable value of collateral is sufficient to recover the principal balance and accrued interest. Interest payments received on nonaccrual and impaired loans are normally applied to principal. Once all principal has been received, additional interest payments are recognized on a cash basis as interest income.
A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and insignificant payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower's prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis for commercial, commercial real estate and agricultural loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.
As part of the Company's ongoing risk management practices, management attempts to work with borrowers when necessary to extend or modify loan terms to better align with their current ability to repay. Extensions and modifications to loans are made in accordance with internal policies and guidelines which conform to regulatory guidance. Each occurrence is unique to the borrower and is evaluated separately. In a situation where an economic concession has been granted to a borrower that is experiencing financial difficulty, the Company identifies and reports that loan as a troubled debt restructuring ("TDR"). Management considers regulatory guidelines when restructuring loans to ensure that prudent lending practices are followed. As such, qualification criteria and payment terms consider the borrower's current and prospective ability to comply with the modified terms of the loan. Additionally, the Company structures loan modifications with the intent of strengthening repayment prospects.
The Company considers whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, as well as whether a concession has been granted to a borrower determined to be troubled, when determining whether a modification meets the criteria of being a TDR under ASC 310-40. For such purposes, evidence which may indicate that a borrower is troubled includes, among other factors, the borrower's default on debt, the borrower's declaration of bankruptcy or preparation for the declaration of bankruptcy, the borrower's forecast that entity-specific cash flows will be insufficient to service the related debt, or the

47



borrower's inability to obtain funds from sources other than existing creditors at an effective interest rate equal to the current market interest rate for similar debt for a non-troubled debtor. If a borrower is determined to be troubled based on such factors or similar evidence, a concession will be deemed to have been granted if a modification of the terms of the debt occurred that management would not otherwise consider. Such concessions may include, among other modifications, a reduction of the stated interest for the remaining original life of the debt, an extension of the maturity date at a stated interest rate lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk, a reduction of accrued interest, or a reduction of the face amount or maturity amount of the debt. Quarterly, TDRs are reviewed and classified as compliant or non-compliant.  Non-compliant TDRs are restructured contracts that have not complied with the restructured terms of the agreement or whereby the Company has begun its collection process. The Company considers payments or maturities of loans that are greater than 90 days past due as being non-compliant with the terms of the restructured agreement.
A modification of loan terms that management would generally not consider to be a TDR could be a temporary extension of maturity to allow a borrower to complete an asset sale whereby the proceeds of such transaction are to be paid to satisfy the outstanding debt. Additionally, a modification that extends the term of a loan, but does not involve reduction of principal or accrued interest, in which the interest rate is adjusted to reflect current market rates for similarly situated borrowers is not considered a TDR. Nevertheless, each assessment will take into account any modified terms and will be comprehensive to ensure appropriate impairment assessment.
Loans that are reported as TDRs apply the identical criteria in the determination of whether the loan should be accruing or nonaccruing. Typically, the event of classifying the loan as a TDR due to a modification of terms is independent from the determination of accruing interest on a loan in accordance with accounting standards.
For all non-homogeneous loans (including TDRs) that have been placed on nonaccrual status, the Company's policy for returning nonaccruing loans to accrual status requires the following criteria: six months of continued performance, timely payments, positive cash flow and an acceptable loan to value ratio. For homogeneous loans (including TDRs), typical in the residential and consumer portfolio, the policy requires six months of consecutive timely loan payments for returning nonaccrual loans to accruing status.
Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses.    GAAP requires the Company to maintain an allowance for probable loan and lease losses in the loan and lease portfolio. Management must develop a consistent and systematic approach to estimate the appropriate balances that will cover the probable losses.
The allowance for loan and lease losses is maintained at a level that management determines is sufficient to absorb estimated probable incurred losses in the loan portfolio through a provision for loan losses charged to net income. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Management charges off loans, or portions of loans, in the period that such loans, or portions thereof, are deemed uncollectible. The collectability of individual impaired loans is determined through an estimate of the fair value of the underlying collateral and/or an assessment of the financial condition and repayment capacity of the borrower. The allowances for loan and lease losses are comprised of both specific valuation allowances and general valuation allowances that are determined in accordance with authoritative accounting guidance. Additions are made to the allowance through periodic provisions charged to current operations and recovery of principal on loans previously charged off.
The allowance for loan and lease losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon management's periodic review of the collectability of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.
Specific valuation allowances are established based on the Company's analyses of individual loans that are considered impaired. If a loan is deemed to be impaired, management measures the extent of the impairment and establishes a specific valuation allowance for that amount. The Company applies this classification to loans individually evaluated for impairment in the loan portfolio segments of commercial, commercial real estate and agricultural loans. Smaller balance homogeneous loans are evaluated for impairment on a collective rather than an individual basis. The Company measures impairment on an individual loan and the extent to which a specific valuation allowance is necessary by comparing the loan's outstanding balance to the fair value of the collateral, less the estimated cost to sell, if the loan is collateral dependent, or to the present value of expected cash flows, discounted at the loan's effective interest rate. A specific valuation allowance is established when the fair value of the collateral, net of estimated costs, or the present value of the expected cash flows is less than the recorded investment in the loan.
The Company also follows a process to assign general valuation allowances to loan portfolio segment categories. General valuation allowances are established by applying the Company's loan loss provisioning methodology, and reflect the estimated

48



probable incurred losses in loans outstanding. The loan loss provisioning methodology considers various factors in determining the appropriate quantified risk factors to use in order to determine the general valuation allowances. The factors assessed begin with the historical loan loss experience for each of the loan portfolio segments. The Company's historical loan loss experience is then adjusted by considering qualitative or environmental factors that are likely to cause estimated credit losses associated with the existing portfolio to differ from historical loss experience, including, but not limited to, the following:
Changes in lending policies and procedures, including changes in underwriting standards and collection, charge-off, and recovery practices;
Changes in international, national, regional, and local economic and business conditions and developments that affect the collectability of the portfolio, including the condition of various market segments;
Changes in the nature and volume of the portfolio and in the terms of loans;
Changes in the volume and severity of past due loans, the volume of non-accrual loans, and the volume and severity of adversely classified or graded loans;
Changes in the quality of the Company's loan review system;
Changes in the value of the underlying collateral for collateral-dependent loans;
The existence and effect of any concentrations of credit, and changes in the level of such concentrations;
Changes in the experience, ability, and depth of lending management and other relevant staff; and
The effect of other external factors, such as competition and legal and regulatory requirements, on the level of estimated credit losses in the existing portfolio.
By considering the factors discussed above, the Company determines quantified risk factors that are applied to each non-impaired loan or loan type in the loan portfolio to determine the general valuation allowances.
The time period considered for historical loss experience is a rolling 36 month period.
The process of establishing the loan and lease loss allowances may also involve:
Periodic inspections of the loan collateral;
Regular meetings of executive management with the pertinent Board committee, during which observable trends in the local economy, commodity prices and/or the real estate market are discussed; and
Analysis of the portfolio in the aggregate, as well as on an individual loan basis, taking into consideration payment history, underwriting analyses, and internal risk ratings.
In order to determine the overall adequacy, each loan portfolio segment's respective loan loss allowance is reviewed quarterly by management and by the Audit Committee of the Company's Board of Directors, as applicable.
Future adjustments to the allowance for loan and lease losses and methodology may be necessary if economic or other conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the estimates or, if required by regulators, based upon information at the time of their examinations. Such adjustments to estimates are made in the period in which these factors and other relevant considerations indicate that loss levels vary from previous estimates.
Although management believes that it uses the best information available to determine the allowance, unforeseen market or borrower conditions could result in adjustments and net income being significantly affected if circumstances differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the final determinations.
Mortgage Servicing Rights ("MSRs").    The Company records a servicing asset for contractually separated servicing from the underlying mortgage loans. The asset is initially recorded at fair value and represents an intangible asset backed by an income stream from the serviced assets. The asset is amortized in proportion to and over the period of estimated net servicing income.
At each balance sheet date, the MSRs are analyzed for impairment, which occurs when the fair value of the MSRs is lower than the amortized book value. A portion of the Company's MSRs in the portfolio were acquired from the South Dakota Housing Development Authority's first-time homebuyer's program. Due to the lack of quoted markets for the Company's servicing portfolio, the Company estimates the fair value of the MSRs using a present value of future cash flow analysis. If the fair value is greater than or equal to the amortized book value of the MSRs, no impairment is recognized. If the fair value is

49



less than the book value, an expense for the difference is charged to net income by initiating an MSR valuation account. If the Company determines this impairment is temporary, any future changes in impairment are recorded as a change in net income and the valuation account. If the Company determines the impairment to be permanent, the valuation is written off against the MSRs, which results in a new amortized balance.
The Company has included MSRs as a critical accounting policy because the use of estimates for determining fair value using present value concepts may produce results which may significantly differ from other fair value analysis, perhaps even to the point of recording impairment. The risk to net income is when the underlying mortgages are paid off significantly faster than the assumptions used in the previously recorded amortization. Estimating future cash flows on the underlying mortgages is a difficult analysis and requires judgment based on the best information available. The Company looks at alternative assumptions and projections when preparing a reasonable and supportable analysis. Based on the Company's analysis of MSRs, no valuation reserve was recorded for temporary impairment at December 31, 2014, and no allowance was reversed during fiscal 2015.
Self-Insurance.    The Company has a self-insured healthcare plan and a self-insured dental plan for its employees up to certain limits. To mitigate a portion of the risks involved with a self-insurance health plan, the Company has a stop-loss insurance policy through a commercial insurance carrier for coverage in excess of $75,000 per individual occurrence. The estimate of self-insurance liability for each plan is based upon known claims and an estimate of incurred, but not reported ("IBNR") claims. IBNR claims are estimated using historical claims lag information received by a third party claims administrator. Due to the uncertainty of claims, the approach includes a process that may differ significantly from other methodologies and still produce an estimate that is in accordance with GAAP. Although management believes that it uses the best information available to determine the accrual, unforeseen claims could result in adjustments to the accrual. These adjustments could significantly affect net income if circumstances differ substantially from the assumptions used in estimating the accrual.
Asset Quality
When a borrower fails to make a required payment on a loan within 10 to 15 days after the payment is due, the Bank generally institutes collection procedures by issuing a late notice. The customer is contacted again when the payment is between 17 and 40 days past due. In most cases, delinquencies are cured promptly; however, if a loan has been delinquent for more than 40 days, the Bank attempts additional written as well as verbal contacts and, if necessary, personal contact with the borrower in order to determine the reason for the delinquency and to affect a cure. Where appropriate, Bank personnel review the condition of the property and the financial circumstances of the borrower. Based upon the results of any such investigation, the Bank may: (i) accept a repayment program which under appropriate circumstances could involve an extension in the case of consumer loans for the arrearage from the borrower, (ii) seek evidence, in the form of a listing contract, of efforts by the borrower to sell the property if the borrower has stated that he is attempting to sell, or (iii) initiate foreclosure proceedings. When a loan payment is delinquent for 90 days, the Bank generally will initiate foreclosure proceedings unless management is satisfied the credit problem is correctable.
Loans are generally classified as nonaccrual when there are reasonable doubts as to the collectability of principal and/or interest and/or when payment becomes 90 days past due, except loans which are well secured and in the process of collection. Interest collections on nonaccrual loans, for which the ultimate collectability of principal is uncertain, are applied as principal reductions.
Leases are generally classified as nonaccrual when there are reasonable doubts as to the collectability of principal and/or interest. Leases may be placed on nonaccrual when the lease has experienced either four consecutive months with no payments or once the account is five months in arrears. Interest collections on nonaccrual leases, for which the ultimate collectability of principal is uncertain, are applied as principal reductions.
When a lessee fails to make a required lease payment within 10 days after the payment is due, Mid America Capital generally institutes collection procedures. The lessee may be contacted by telephone on the 10th, but no later than the 30th day of delinquency. A late notice is automatically issued by the system on the 11th day of delinquency and is sent to the lessee. The lease may be referred to legal counsel when the lease is past due beyond four payments and no positive response has been received or when other considerations are present.
Nonperforming assets (i.e., nonaccrual loans and leases, accruing loans and leases delinquent more than 90 days and foreclosed assets) decreased $4.7 million during the fiscal year to $12.8 million at December 31, 2014. The ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets, which is one indicator of credit risk exposure, decreased to 1.01% at December 31, 2014, from 1.37% at June 30, 2014.
Nonaccruing loans and leases decreased to $12.8 million at December 31, 2014 compared to $17.3 million at June 30, 2014. Included in nonaccruing loans and leases at December 31, 2014 were two consumer residential relationships totaling $227,000,

50



nine commercial business relationships totaling $2.7 million, four commercial real estate relationships totaling $563,000, four agricultural real estate relationships totaling $3.1 million, five agricultural business relationships totaling $5.6 million, and 19 consumer relationships totaling $552,000.
There were no accruing loans and leases delinquent more than 90 days at December 31, 2014 and at June 30, 2014.
The Company's nonperforming loans and leases, which represent nonaccrual loans and leases plus those past due over 90 days and still accruing were $12.8 million, a decrease of $4.5 million from the levels at June 30, 2014. Dairy related loans included in the nonperforming loans at December 31, 2014 were less than one-half of the total nonperforming loans, which is a decrease of approximately 20% of the total composition when compared to June 30, 2014. The risk rating system in place is designed to identify and manage the nonperforming loans and leases. Commercial and agricultural loans and equipment finance leases will have specific reserve allocations based on collateral values or based on the present value of expected cash flows if the loans or leases are deemed impaired. Loans and leases that are not performing do not necessarily result in a loss.
As of December 31, 2014, the Company had $2,000 of foreclosed assets which was consumer vehicle collateral.
At December 31, 2014, the Company had designated $31.5 million of its assets as classified, which management has determined need to be closely monitored because of possible credit problems of the borrowers or the cash flows of the secured properties. This amount includes $1.0 million of unused lines of credit for those borrowers that have classified assets. At December 31, 2014, the Company had $18.8 million in commercial real estate and commercial business loans purchased, of which none of the amounts were currently classified. These loans and leases were considered in determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan and lease losses. The allowance for loan and lease losses is established based on management's evaluation of the risks probable in the loan and lease portfolio and changes in the nature and volume of loan and lease activity. Such evaluation, which includes a review of all loans and leases for which full collectability may not be reasonably assured, considers the estimated fair market value of the underlying collateral, present value of expected principal and interest payments, economic conditions, historical loss experience and other factors that warrant recognition in providing for an adequate loan and lease loss allowance.
Although the Company's management believes that the December 31, 2014, recorded allowance for loan and lease losses was adequate to provide for probable losses on the related loans and leases, there can be no assurance that the allowance existing at December 31, 2014 will be adequate in the future.
In accordance with the Company's internal classification of assets policy, management evaluates the loan and lease portfolio on a monthly basis to identify loss potential and determines the adequacy of the allowance for loan and lease losses quarterly. Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when the collection of principal and/or interest becomes doubtful. Foreclosed assets include assets acquired in settlement of loans.

The allowance for loan and lease losses was $10.9 million at December 31, 2014, as compared to $10.5 million at June 30, 2014. The general valuation allowance increased by $454,000 due primarily to an increase in loan balances of $43.2 million since June 30, 2014. In addition, changes in historical loss data and portfolio performance attributes impacted the amount of allowance recorded, but for the six months ended December 31, 2014, only minimally impacted the change since the prior fiscal year end. The specific valuation allowance decreased slightly by $23,000 to $460,000. The consumer segment represented 80.7% of the specific reserve in the portfolio. The ratio of the allowance for loan and lease losses to total loans and leases was 1.28% at December 31, 2014, compared to 1.29% at June 30, 2014. The Company's management has considered nonperforming assets and other assets of concern in establishing the allowance for loan and lease losses. The Company continues to monitor its allowance for possible loan and lease losses and make future additions or reductions in light of the level of loans and leases in its portfolio and as economic conditions dictate. The current level of the allowance for loan and lease losses is a result of management's assessment of the risks within the portfolio based on the information revealed in credit reporting processes. The Company utilizes a risk-rating system on commercial business, agricultural, construction, multi-family and commercial real estate loans, including purchased loans. The Company periodically utilizes an external loan review to assist in the assessment of the appropriateness of risk ratings and of risks within the portfolio. A periodic credit review is performed on all types of loans and leases to establish the necessary reserve based on the estimated risk within the portfolio. This assessment of risk takes into account the composition of the loan and lease portfolio, historical loss experience for each loan and lease category, previous loan and lease experience, concentrations of credit, current economic conditions and other factors that in management's judgment deserve recognition.
Real estate properties acquired through foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value (less a deduction for disposition costs). Valuations are periodically updated by management and a specific provision for losses on such properties is established by a charge to operations if the carrying values of the properties exceed their estimated net realizable values.
At December 31, 2014, the Company also had an allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures of $92,000. This amount is maintained as a separate liability account to cover estimated potential credit losses associated with off-

54



balance sheet credit instruments such as off-balance sheet loan commitments, standby letters of credit, and guarantees and is recorded in other liabilities in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.
Losses on mortgage loans previously sold are recorded when the Bank indemnifies or repurchases mortgage loans previously sold. The representations and warranties in our loan sale agreements provide that we repurchase or indemnify the investors for losses or costs on loans we sell under certain limited conditions. At December 31, 2014, the Company recorded a $40,000 recourse liability for mortgage loans sold.
Although management believes that it uses the best information available to determine the allowances, unforeseen market conditions could result in adjustments and net income being significantly affected if circumstances differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the final determinations. Future additions to the Company's allowances may result from periodic loan, property and collateral reviews and thus cannot be predicted in advance. See Note 1 of "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements," which is included in Part II, Item 8 "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" of the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2014, for a description of the Company's policy regarding the provision for losses on loans and leases.
Comparison of the Three Months Ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013
General.    The Company's net loss was $868,000 or $0.12 for basic and diluted earnings per common share for the quarter ended December 31, 2014, a $3.0 million decrease in net income compared to net income of $2.2 million or $0.31 for basic and diluted earnings per common share for the quarter ended December 31, 2013. The second quarter of fiscal 2015 resulted in a return on average equity (i.e., net income divided by average equity) of a loss of 3.34%, compared to income of 8.90% for the same quarter of the prior year, while the return on average assets (i.e., net income divided by average assets) was a loss of 0.27% compared to income of 0.69%, respectively. As discussed in more detail below, the decreases were due primarily to a charge to noninterest expense of $4.1 million which resulted from the prepayment of $84.9 million in FHLB long-term advances. The net tax effect of this transaction reduced net income by $2.5 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2015. Other factors affecting the quarterly results were an increase in net interest income of $1.6 million and offset by an increase in the provision for losses on loans and leases of $1.2 million, a decrease in noninterest income of $804,000, and an increase in noninterest expense, exclusive of the charges for prepayment, of $267,000.
Interest, Dividend and Loan Fee Income.    Interest, dividend and loan fee income was $11.3 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2014, as compared to $10.1 million for the same quarter of the prior year, an increase of $1.1 million or 10.9%. Interest earned on loans and leases receivable totaled $10.2 million for the quarter which is an increase of $1.5 million when compared to the same quarter of the prior fiscal year. The average balance of loans and leases receivable was $846.8 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2014, or increase of 11.2%, while the average yield increased by 27 basis points to 4.78% in the quarter-over-quarter comparison. Interest earned on investment securities and interest-earning deposits decreased by $427,000, to $1.1 million for the current quarter compared to $1.5 million for quarter ended December 31, 2013. The average yield on investment securities and interest-earning deposits decreased by 18 basis points to 1.23%, while the average balance decreased by $77.1 million to $342.3 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2014. Overall, the average balance of total interest-earning assets increased by 0.7% and resulted in an increase in interest and dividend revenue of $697,000, while the average yield on interest-earning assets increased by 34 basis points and resulted in an increase to interest and dividend revenue of $411,000.
The average yield on interest-earning assets increased, from the quarter a year earlier, primarily due to the recovery of $771,000 of interest income from an agricultural borrower relationship which was refinanced. Previously, the payments received for this borrower were all applied to principal since the loans were in nonaccrual status. Upon placing the borrower back on accrual status in the second quarter of fiscal 2015, all of the interest previously collected and applied to principal were treated as interest revenue and the principal was reclassified to the proper amounts under the accrual method. The effect on the yield on loans and leases receivable was an increase of 36 basis points for the quarter. When excluding the recovery of interest income from this borrower for the second fiscal quarter of 2015, the average yield on interest-earning assets decreased primarily due to the repricing of adjustable rate loans, refinancing activity and competitive pricing pressures in a low interest rate environment when compared to the same quarter of the prior fiscal year. 
Interest Expense.    Interest expense was $1.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2014, as compared to $2.4 million for the same quarter of the prior year, a decrease of $469,000 or 19.9%. Interest expense related to interest-bearing deposits decreased by $121,000, of which $166,000 decrease was the result of declining rates and $45,000 increase was due to average balance changes. The $166,000 decrease in deposit interest expense was the result of average deposit rate decreases of 6 basis points. The average rate on interest-bearing deposits was 0.45% for the quarter ended December 31, 2014, as compared to 0.51% for the prior year's second quarter. In addition, a $45,000 increase in interest expense was the result of 0.8% growth in the average deposit balances when compared to the same quarter of the prior year. Interest expense related to the FHLB advances and other borrowings decreased by $287,000 due primarily to a decrease in the rate paid. The average rate decrease of 83 basis points resulted in interest savings of $347,000, while the average balance increase resulted in additional interest

55



expense of $60,000. Interest expense on subordinated debentures decreased by $61,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2014, when compared to the prior fiscal year, due to the maturity of two interest rate contracts totaling $9.0 million in notional value which paid a weighted average rate of 6.07% while they were effective. The interest rate contracts were not replaced.
Net Interest Income.    Net interest income for the second quarter of fiscal 2015 was $9.4 million, an increase of $1.6 million, or 20.3%, compared to fiscal 2014, due to an increase in interest income of $1.1 million or 10.9% and a decrease in interest expense of $469,000 or 19.9%. The net interest margin was 3.12%, compared to 2.62% for the same quarter of the prior fiscal year, an increase of 50 basis points. The Company's net interest margin on a fully taxable equivalent basis was 3.19% for the quarter ended December 31, 2014, as compared to 2.66% for the same quarter a year ago. The yield on interest-earning assets increased 34 basis points to 3.75% for the second quarter of fiscal 2015, while the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities decreased 21 basis points to 0.76% during the quarter. Meanwhile, average balances increased when compared to the same quarter from the prior fiscal year for interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities by 0.7% and 1.6%, respectively. The Company continues to have a diversified loan portfolio comprised of a mix of consumer and business type lending. This mix helps the Company manage the net interest margin and interest rate risk by retaining loan and lease production on the balance sheet or by looking at alternatives through secondary markets.
Provision for Losses on Loans and Leases.    The allowance for loan and lease losses is maintained at a level which is believed by management to be adequate to absorb probable losses on existing loans and leases that may become uncollectible, based on an evaluation of the collectability of the loans and leases and prior loan and lease loss experience. The evaluation takes into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and balances of the loan and lease portfolio, overall portfolio quality, review of specific problem loans and leases, and current economic conditions that may affect the borrower's ability to pay. The allowance for loan and lease losses is established through a provision for losses on loans and leases charged to expense. See "Asset Quality" above for further discussion.
Provision for losses on loans and leases increased to $941,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2014, as compared to a $257,000 net benefit in the prior year's quarter. During the second quarter, net charge-offs were $387,000, while loans and leases increased by $37.9 million and the valuation allowance on impaired loans increased by $22,000. These factors, among others, contributed to the estimation of the allowance for loan and lease losses and the provision for loan and lease losses for the quarter. In addition, nonperforming assets decreased by $2.4 million, while classified assets increased by $1.7 million during the quarter. In comparing the second quarter of fiscal 2015 to fiscal 2014, net charge-offs increased to $387,000 from $99,000; while loan and lease balances at December 31, 2014 were $855.1 million, or an increase of 14.7% when compared to balances at December 31, 2013. The valuation allowance on impaired loans was $460,000 at December 31, 2014, compared to $1.5 million a year ago. Classified assets increased by $4.0 million to $31.5 million at December 31, 2014, when compared to December 31, 2013. In addition, nonperforming assets decreased by $8.6 million to $12.8 million at December 31, 2014, when compared to December 31, 2013. Dairy-related credits within the agricultural sector remain the largest segment within nonperforming assets at December 31, 2014, but have decreased to a level of less than 50%.
The allowance for losses on loans and leases at December 31, 2014, was $10.9 million. The allowance increased from the December 31, 2013, balance of $10.6 million due to an increase in the general allowance generated by an increase in loan balances and adjusted for changes in environmental factors and loan loss history and partially offset by a decrease in the specific valuation allowance recorded on impaired loans. The ratio of allowance for loan and lease losses to nonperforming loans and leases at December 31, 2014, was 85.34% compared to 50.24% at December 31, 2013. The allowance for loan and lease losses to total loans and leases ratio at December 31, 2014, was 1.28% compared to 1.42% at December 31, 2013. The Bank's management believes that the December 31, 2014, recorded allowance for loan and lease losses is adequate to provide for probable losses on the related loans and leases, based on its evaluation of the collectability of loans and leases and prior loss experience.
Noninterest Income.    Noninterest income was $3.1 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2014, a decrease of $804,000 or 20.5% as compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2013. For the second quarter of fiscal 2015, decreases over the prior fiscal year's second quarter included loan servicing income, gain on sale of loans and gain on sale of securities of $464,000, $149,000, and $160,000, respectively. In addition, fees on deposits decreased by $37,000 and other noninterest income decreased by $69,000. Overall, these decreases were partially offset by an increase in commission and insurance income of $59,000, when comparing the second quarter of fiscal 2015 to the same quarter of fiscal 2014.
Loan servicing income decreased by $464,000 to $345,000 for the second quarter of fiscal 2015 primarily due to the net decrease of the valuation allowance benefit of $500,000 recorded in the comparable period in the prior fiscal year. No valuation provision or benefit was recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2015. Amortization expense, which is a component of net loan servicing income, was $390,000 for the second quarter of fiscal 2015 and represented a decrease in expense of $77,000 when compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2014 due to an assessment of declining prepayment speeds. In the quarter-over-quarter

56



comparison, servicing income decreased by $41,000 due to a decreasing asset base and an overall lesser net servicing fee percentage which is based on investor mix and modified for delinquencies.
Net gain on the sale of loans totaled $472,000, a decrease of $149,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2014, as compared to the prior fiscal year's quarter. This decrease was due to reduced refinancing activity with the general rise in mortgage interest rates. Origination activity for residential lending continues to remain sound due to the local economic climate and favorable interest rates relative to historical levels.
Net gain on sale of securities totaled a $75,000 loss, a decrease of $160,000 for the second quarter of fiscal 2015, as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year, which was the result of gross proceeds of $14.9 million for the current year's quarter. For the quarter ended December 31, 2013, proceeds received of $10.1 million resulted in a net gain of $85,000.
Fees on deposits decreased by $37,000 for the second quarter of fiscal 2015 when compared to the same period of the prior year primarily due to decreases in NSF/Overdraft fees of $51,000 and point-of-sale incentive income reductions of $49,000. NSF/Overdraft fee decreases were attributed to reduced transactions and point-of-sale incentive income decreases were due to scheduled changes in the potential incentive earnings structure. Partially offsetting these decreases were net service charges and ATM service fees of $13,000 and $47,000, respectively in the quarter-over-quarter comparison.
Other noninterest income decreased by $69,000 due primarily to a one-time charge recorded of $64,000 on the sale of land held for future branch expansion. The sale of land occurred in the second quarter of fiscal 2015.
Commission and insurance income was $367,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2014, an increase of $59,000 when compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2014. This increase is due primarily to an increased book of business within the investment services line of business and from an increased asset base from which commissions are earned, when compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. In conjunction with the increased revenue, variable pay for the current quarter, which is included in compensation expense, increased by $56,000 when compared to the same quarter of the prior year. Commission expense increased at a higher percentage relative to gross commission income due to the achievement of various sales goal thresholds which increased the amount of commission for those agents. The thresholds are maintained on a calendar year basis, so a higher percentage was paid in the current quarter, being the fourth quarter of the calendar year.
Noninterest Expense.    Noninterest expense was $13.1 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2014, as compared to $8.8 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2013, an increase of $4.4 million, or 49.8%. During the second quarter of
fiscal 2015, long-term FHLB advances were prepaid which will result in lowering cost of funds and improving net interest margin for future quarters. A total of $84.9 million in long-term FHLB advances were prepaid, which resulted in a charge to loss on early extinguishment of debt of $4.1 million. Other factors that contributed to the increase were compensation and employee benefits and marketing and community investment of $271,000 and $70,000, respectively. The increases were partially offset by a decrease in net expense on foreclosed real estate of $112,000.
Compensation and employee benefits were $5.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2014, an increase of $271,000, or 5.2% when compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2013. Increases in health insurance benefit expense, variable and incentive pay and base salary wages were the primary components to the increase in compensation expense over the second quarter of fiscal 2014 as they increased $173,000, $139,000 and $71,000, respectively. Deferred loan costs, which reduce compensation expense, helped to offset the increases with an $128,000 decrease in expense. Increased expense for variable pay was related to a combination of commission expense for commission and insurance income, mortgage commissions and stock-based compensation, which increased $56,000, $59,000 and $61,000, respectively. The increase of commission expense for commission and insurance income occurred as a result of increased revenue from the investment subsidiary's commission revenue. Mortgage commissions increased due to increased mortgages closed during the second quarter of fiscal 2015 when compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2014, but remain behind the pace when compared to year-to-date totals from the prior year. The prior fiscal year showed a sharp decrease from the first to the second quarter whereas the first six months of fiscal 2015 has exhibited relatively steady production levels. Stock-based compensation expense increased due to nonrecurring stock-based activity in the current quarter and savings realized from excess forfeitures on stock based compensation in the same quarter of the prior fiscal year. Compensation expense for deferred loan costs under ASC 310-20 increased when compared to the prior year due to a combination of higher deferred loan costs and increased total loan originations from both residential and commercial loans. Total base salaries and wages increased despite the reduction in average FTEs, which decreased by 4.4% to an average of 284 FTEs for the three months ended December 31, 2014 when compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. This is a result of the Company's continued efforts to improve operational efficiencies. The increase in base salaries and wages has been driven by recent investments into higher earning producers.
Marketing and community investment increased $70,000 to $376,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2014 as part of a larger strategic focus on advertising.

Net expense on foreclosed real estate and other properties was $9,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2014, a decrease of $112,000. The general up keep and maintenance costs have gone down from the prior year as the number of properties under management has declined.
Income tax expense.    The Company's income tax expense for the quarter ended December 31, 2014, decreased to a net benefit of $733,000 compared to a provision of $1.0 million for the same period of the prior fiscal year. The effective tax rates were 45.8% and 32.1% for the quarter ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The current quarter's tax rate reflects the adjustment to reduce the overall provision to the estimated amount payable based on the related year-to-date earnings and adjusted for the permanent tax items. The provision for the year-to-date is lower than anticipated due to the large portion of taxable income that is offset by the amount of permanent tax deductions. Essentially, the quarterly effective tax rate resulting from the recovery of the provision is larger than anticipated due to the resulting low year-to-date effective tax rate.

Comparison of the Six Months Ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013
General.    The Company's net income was $944,000 or $0.13 for basic and diluted earnings per common share for the six months ended December 31, 2014, a $2.2 million decrease in net income compared to $3.1 million or $0.45 for basic and diluted earnings per common share for the same period of the prior year. For the first six months of fiscal 2015, the return on average equity (i.e., net income divided by average equity) was 1.83%, compared to 6.48% in the same period of the prior year, while the return on average assets (i.e., net income divided by average assets) was 0.15% and 0.50%, respectively. As discussed in more detail below, the income statement changes were due primarily to the prepayment of FHLB term advances in the second quarter of fiscal 2015 that resulted in a charge of $4.1 million to noninterest expense, or a $2.5 million impact net of tax. In addition, total revenue increased by $1.4 million due to an increase in net interest income of $3.1 million and a decrease in noninterest income of $1.6 million. The provision for losses on loans and leases increased by $900,000, while noninterest expense, exclusive of the prepayment charges were comparable to the amount for the same period of the prior fiscal year.
Interest, Dividend and Loan Fee Income.    Interest, dividend and loan fee income was $21.6 million for the six months ended December 31, 2014, as compared to $19.3 million for the same period of the prior year, an increase of $2.3 million or 11.8%, due to increased average loan balances and a recovery of nonaccrued interest that improved overall yields on interest-earning assets. Interest earned on loans and leases receivable totaled $19.4 million for the first six months of fiscal 2015 which is a net increase of $2.4 million, when compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year due primarily to an increase in the average loan balances. The average balance of loans and leases receivable increased by $88.5 million, or 11.9% for the first six months of fiscal 2015 as compared to the same period in fiscal 2014. This was supplemented by an increase in the average yield on interest earned from loans and leases receivable, which increased by 9 basis points to 4.61% in the year-over-year comparison, but was primarily due to the net recovery of $771,000 of nonaccrued interest from an agricultural loan, which improved the yield by approximately 13 basis points in the comparison. Interest earned on investment securities and interest-earning deposits decreased by $118,000 in the year-over-year comparison to $2.3 million for the six month period ended December 31, 2014, due to a decrease in the average balances, which was partially offset by an increase in the average yield. The average balance of investment securities and interest-earning deposits decreased by $72.8 million, or 17.1%, to $354.1 million for the six month period ended December 31, 2014, while the average yield increased by 16 basis points to 1.27%. Overall, the average balance of total interest-earning assets, which include loans and leases receivable and investment securities and interest-earning deposits, increased by 1.3%, resulting in an increase to revenue of $1.6 million in comparison to the same six month period of the prior year, while the average yield on interest-earning assets, which included the nonaccrued interest recovery, increased by 33 basis points and resulted in an increase of $657,000 in revenue.
Interest Expense.    Interest expense was $4.0 million for the six months ended December 31, 2014, as compared to $4.8 million for the same period of the prior year, a decrease of $812,000 or 17.0%. Interest expense related to interest-bearing deposits decreased by $221,000, of which a $278,000 decrease was the result of reduced rates paid while a $57,000 increase was due to average balance changes. The $278,000 decrease in interest expense was the result of an 8 basis point decrease in average rates paid on interest-bearing deposits. The average balance of interest-bearing deposits increased by 5.4%, but a change in the mix of average balances from higher rate paying certificates to the lower paying checking and money market accounts mitigated the impact of the increased volume and resulted in an increase in interest expense of $57,000. The average rate on interest-bearing deposits was 0.45% for the six months ended December 31, 2014, as compared to 0.53% for the same period of the prior year. Noninterest-bearing deposits decreased by $10.3 million to an average balance of $153.7 million for the six months ended December 31, 2014, as compared to the prior year. Interest expense related to FHLB advances and other borrowings decreased by $484,000. The average balance decrease resulted in reduced interest expense of $247,000, while the average rate decrease of 31 basis points resulted in a reduction in interest expense of $237,000. Interest expense on subordinated debentures decreased by $107,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2014, when compared to the prior fiscal year, due to the maturity of two interest rate contracts totaling $9.0 million in notional value which paid a weighted average rate of 6.07% while they were effective, and have not been replaced.

58



Net Interest Income.    Net interest income for fiscal 2015 was $17.7 million, an increase of $3.1 million, or 21.2%, compared to fiscal 2014, due to an increase in interest income of $2.3 million or 11.8%, and a decrease in interest expense of $812,000 or 17.0%.  The net interest margin for the first six months of fiscal 2015 was 2.95% as compared to 2.47% for the prior fiscal year, an increase of 48 basis points. The Company's net interest margin on a fully taxable equivalent basis was 3.01% for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, as compared to 2.51% for the prior fiscal year. The yield on interest-earning assets increased 33 basis points to 3.61% for fiscal 2015, while the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities decreased 18 basis points to 0.81% in fiscal 2015. In fiscal 2015, the average balances increased from a year ago for interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities by 1.3% and 2.1%, respectively. The average yield on interest-earning assets increased primarily due to the recovery of nonaccrued interest and higher yielding mix of assets related to the increased loan balances. The Company continues to have a diversified loan portfolio comprised of a mix of consumer and business type lending. This mix helps the Company manage the net interest margin and interest rate risk by retaining loan and lease production on the balance sheet or by looking at alternatives through secondary markets.
Provision for Losses on Loans and Leases.    The allowance for loan and lease losses is maintained at a level which is believed by management to be adequate to absorb probable losses on existing loans and leases that may become uncollectible, based on an evaluation of the collectability of the loans and leases and prior loan and lease loss experience. The evaluation takes into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and balance of the loan and lease portfolio, overall portfolio quality, review of specific problem loans and leases, and current economic conditions that may affect the borrower's ability to pay. The allowance for loan and lease losses is established through a provision for losses on loans and leases charged to expense. See "Asset Quality" above for further discussion.
Provision for losses on loans and leases increased $900,000, to $919,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2014, as compared to $19,000 for the same period in the prior year. The increase in the provision as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year, is primarily due to the increase in loan balances since the prior fiscal year end and complemented by the combination of the increase in net charge-offs in the six months ended December 31, 2014, and the decrease in specific valuation allowance on impaired loans during the six months ended December 31, 2013, which reduced the provision in the previous year. For the six months ended December 31, 2014, loans increased by $43.2 million from June 30, 2014, while loans increased $50.0 million in the same period of the prior fiscal year. Net charge-offs for the current year-to-date period totaled $488,000, an increase of $331,000 when compared to the $157,000 of net charge-offs from the prior year period. The specific valuation allowance on impaired loans in accordance with ASC 310 decreased by $23,000 during the current year-to-date period, compared to a decrease of $970,000 in the same period of the prior year. Another factor in the increased provision was a $10.0 million reduction in classified assets during the prior year-to-date period as compared to a $648,000 reduction for the current year-to-date period. Total nonperforming loans decreased by $4.5 million during the six month period ended December 31, 2014, as compared to a $1.5 million decrease for the same period of the prior fiscal year. Dairy-related credits within the agricultural sector remained the largest segment within the nonperforming loans for December 31, 2014, but have decreased to a level of less than 50%.
The allowance for losses on loans and leases at December 31, 2014 was $10.9 million, which is higher than the amount reported at December 31, 2013 of $10.6 million. The ratio of allowance for loan and lease losses to total loans and leases was 1.28% at December 31, 2014, compared to 1.42% at December 31, 2013. The specific valuation allowance of $460,000, which is comprised primarily of consumer loans, decreased by $1.0 million from December 31, 2013. At December 31, 2014 the general valuation allowance of $10.5 million is an increase of $1.4 million since December 31, 2013, and is evaluated based primarily upon a review of historical loss and environmental factors and applied to loan and lease balances outstanding, which increased substantially since the year ago period. The balance of total loans and leases at December 31, 2014 was $855.1 million, and was an increase of $109.3 million from December 31, 2013. The ratio of allowance for loan and lease losses to nonperforming loans and leases at December 31, 2014, was 85.34% compared to 50.24% at December 31, 2013. The Bank's management believes that the December 31, 2014, recorded allowance for loan and lease losses is adequate to provide for probable losses on the related loans and leases, based on its evaluation of the collectability of loans and leases and prior loss experience.
Noninterest Income.    Noninterest income was $6.5 million for the six months ended December 31, 2014, as compared to $8.1 million for the same period of the prior fiscal year, which represents a decrease of $1.6 million or 20.3%. This was due to decreases in net loan servicing income and net gain on sale of loans of $714,000 and $396,000, respectively. In addition, decreases in net gain on sale of securities and loss on the disposal of closed-branch fixed assets resulted in decreases of $399,000 and $163,000, respectively. Fees on deposits also decreased by $106,000 compared to the same period of the prior

59



fiscal year. These decreases were partially offset by increases in commission and insurance income and trust income of $155,000 and $35,000, respectively.
Loan servicing income decreased by $714,000 to $715,000 for the first six months of fiscal 2015 primarily due to the net decrease of the valuation allowance benefit of $875,000 recorded in the comparable period of the prior fiscal year. No valuation allowance was recorded in fiscal 2015 and thus no recovery was recorded for the six month period ended December 31, 2014. In addition, amortization expense and servicing fees received decreased by $227,000 and $66,000, respectively. The reduction in prepayment speeds within the portfolio contributed to the amount of amortization expense decrease when comparing the year over year information. Servicing income decreased primarily due to a decreasing asset base.
Net gain on the sale of loans totaled $1.0 million, a decrease of $396,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2014, as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. The decrease reflects reduced customer refinancing volume on residential lending in the current fiscal year. Origination activity for residential lending continues to remain sound due to the local economic climate and favorable interest rates relative to historical levels.
Net gain on the sale of securities totaled a $41,000 loss, a decrease of $399,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2014, as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. The Company received proceeds of $22.1 million for net gains of $41,000 for the first six months of fiscal 2015 as compared to proceeds received of $34.8 million for net gains of $358,000 for the first six months of fiscal 2014.
A retail branch office was closed during the first six months of fiscal 2015 resulting in a loss on disposal of closed-branch fixed assets of $163,000, which reduced other income. The closure was made in the continued efforts to increase efficiencies by reducing operating expenses.
Commission and insurance income totaled $786,000 for the first six months of fiscal 2015, which is an increase of $155,000, when compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. This increase is due primarily to growth in the asset base from which commissions are earned within the investment services line of business. In conjunction with the increased revenue, variable pay, which is included in compensation expense, increased by $81,000 when compared to the same six months of the prior fiscal year.
Noninterest Expense.    Noninterest expense was $22.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2014, compared to $18.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2013, an increase of $4.1 million, or 22.4%. During the second quarter of fiscal 2015, several long-term FHLB advances were prepaid which will result in lowering cost of funds and improving net interest margin for future quarters. A total of $84.9 million in long-term FHLB advances were prepaid, which resulted in a charge to loss on early extinguishment of debt of $4.1 million. Other factors that contributed to the increase in expense were check and data processing and marketing and community investments, which increased $135,000 and $128,000, respectively. Compensation and employee benefits increased $32,000 compared to the prior fiscal year, while net expense on foreclosed real estate decreased by $219,000.
Check and data processing expense was $1.6 million for the first six months fiscal 2015, which is an increase of $135,000 over the same period of fiscal 2014. The increase was driven by a combination of computer service expenses (i.e. licensing, website utilization fees and annual maintenance costs related to vendor computer systems), reversals of ATM fees, data communications expense and card service fees. The data communication costs for the current fiscal year includes a one-time set up fee for a new branch as well a one-time discontinuation fee of a closed branch.
Marketing and community investment increased $128,000 to $748,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2014, due to a larger strategic focus on advertising. In addition, expenses related to a customer reward programs for debit card usage increased $42,000 over the first six months of the prior year.
Compensation and employee benefits were $10.8 million for the six months ended December 31, 2014, an increase of $32,000, or 0.3% when compared to the same period ended December 31, 2013. Health and insurance benefits was the primary component in the increase as it was $218,000 higher than the same six month period from the prior year. Variable and incentive pay and base salary wages also contributed with increases of $49,000 and $19,000, respectively. Deferred loan costs which reduce compensation expense helped to offset the increases with a $196,000 decrease in expense. The variable and incentive pay increased largely due to an $81,000 increase in commissions and insurance income. Base salaries and wages increased by $19,000 eventhough the average FTEs decreased by 5.9% to an average of 283 FTEs for six months ended December 31, 2014 when compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. This is a result of the Company's continued efforts to improve operational efficiencies. The increase in base salaries and wages has been driven by recent investments into higher salaried

60



producers. Deferred loan costs under ASC 310-20 increased when compared to the prior year due to the increasing costs to originate loans, which then reduces the amount of compensation that is directly expensed. The decrease in expense related to the increased deferrals was $196,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2014 as compared to the same period of the prior year.
Net expense on foreclosed real estate and other properties was $37,000 for the first three months ended December 31, 2014, a decrease of $219,000. During the first quarter of the prior fiscal year, a one-time loss on a sale of foreclosed property of $86,000 proved to be the largest difference between the two fiscal periods, while a decrease in foreclosed real estate and other properties in the current fiscal year reduced the related expenses in the current year as compared to the same period of the prior year.
Income tax expense.    The Company's income tax expense for the six months ended December 31, 2014 decreased by $1.3 million to $83,000 when compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. The effective tax rates were 8.1% and 30.8% for the six months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The current year's tax rate is lower than the previous year's rate due to a higher percentage of permanent tax items to net income in the current year where earnings were substantially less. This reduced the effective tax rate to a lower than expected amount in the current year.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's liquidity is comprised of three primary classifications: cash flows from operating activities, cash flows from investing activities, and cash flows from financing activities. Net cash used in operating activities and financing activities for the six months ended December 31, 2014 were $1.6 million and $11.7 million, respectively, which were partially offset by net cash provided by investing activities of $10.7 million. For the same period ended December 31, 2013, net cash provided by operating activities and financing activities were $8.5 million and $37.4 million, respectively, which were offset by cash used in investing activities of $41.1 million. The results were a decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $2.6 million for the six months ended December 31, 2014 compared to an increase in cash and cash equivalents of $4.8 million for the same period of the prior fiscal year.
The Company's primary sources of funds are net interest income, in-market deposits, FHLB advances and other borrowings, repayments of loan principal, agency residential mortgage-backed securities and callable agency securities and, to a lesser extent, sales of mortgage loans, sales and maturities of investment securities, out-of-market deposits, and short-term investments. While scheduled loan payments and maturing securities are relatively predictable, deposit flows and loan and security prepayments are more influenced by interest rates, general economic conditions and competition. The Bank attempts to price its deposits to meet its asset/liability objectives consistent with local market conditions. Excess balances are invested in overnight funds.
Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term responsibility of management. The Bank adjusts its investments in liquid assets based upon management's assessment of (i) expected loan demand, (ii) projected loan sales, (iii) expected deposit flows, (iv) yields available on interest-bearing deposits, and (v) the objectives of its asset/liability management program. Excess liquidity is invested generally in interest-bearing overnight deposits and other short-term government and agency obligations. During the six months ended December 31, 2014, the Bank increased its borrowings with the FHLB and other borrowings by $43.5 million.
Although in-market deposits is one of the Bank's primary source of funds, the Bank's policy has been to utilize borrowings where the funds can be invested in either loans or securities at a positive rate of return or to use the funds for short-term liquidity purposes. At December 31, 2014, the Bank had the following sources of additional borrowings:
$15.0 million in an uncommitted, unsecured line of federal funds with First Tennessee Bank, NA;
$20.0 million in an uncommitted, unsecured line of federal funds with Zions Bank;
$75.9 million of available credit from the Federal Reserve Bank; and
$230.1 million of available credit from FHLB of Des Moines (after deducting outstanding borrowings with FHLB of Des Moines).
The Bank may also seek other sources of contingent liquidity including additional federal funds purchased lines with correspondent banks and lines of credit with the Federal Reserve Bank. There were no funds drawn on the uncommitted, unsecured line of federal funds with First Tennessee Bank, NA, Zions Bank and the Federal Reserve Bank at December 31,

61



2014. The Bank, as a member of the FHLB of Des Moines, is required to acquire and hold shares of capital stock in the FHLB of Des Moines equal to 0.12% of the total assets of the Bank at December 31 annually. The Bank is also required to own activity-based stock, which is based on 4.00% of the Bank's outstanding advances. These percentages are subject to change at the discretion of the FHLB Board of Directors.
In addition to the above sources of additional borrowings, the Bank has implemented arrangements to acquire out-of-market certificates of deposit as an additional source of funding. As of December 31, 2014, the Bank had $25.3 million in out-of-market certificates of deposit.
The Bank anticipates that it will have sufficient funds available to meet current loan commitments. At December 31, 2014, the Bank had outstanding commitments to originate and purchase mortgage and commercial loans of $37.8 million and to sell mortgage loans of $9.0 million. Commitments by the Bank to originate loans are not necessarily executed by the customer. The Bank monitors the ratio of commitments to funding for use in liquidity management. At December 31, 2014, the Bank had no outstanding commitments to purchase investment securities and no commitments to sell investment securities available for sale.
The Company has an available line of credit with United Bankers' Bank for liquidity needs of $4.0 million with no funds advanced at December 31, 2014. The line of credit was renewed on October 1, 2014 and is available through October 1, 2015. The Company has pledged 100% of Bank stock as collateral for this line of credit.
The Company uses its capital resources to pay dividends to its stockholders, to support organic growth, to make acquisitions, to service its debt obligations and to provide funding for investment into the Bank as Tier 1 (core) capital.
Savings institutions insured by the FDIC are required to meet three regulatory capital requirements. If a requirement is not met, regulatory authorities may take legal or administrative actions, including restrictions on growth or operations or, in extreme cases, seizure. Institutions not in compliance may apply for an exemption from the requirements and submit a recapitalization plan. At December 31, 2014, the Bank met all current capital requirements.
The OCC has adopted capital requirements for savings institutions comparable to the requirement for national banks. The minimum OCC core capital requirement for well-capitalized institutions is 5.00% of total adjusted assets. The Bank had Tier 1 (core) capital of 9.46% at December 31, 2014. The minimum OCC total risk-based capital requirement for well-capitalized institutions is 10.00% of risk-weighted assets. The Bank had total risk-based capital of 13.86% at December 31, 2014.
The Company has entered into interest rate swap contracts which are classified as cash flow hedge contracts, fair value hedge contracts, or non-designated derivative contracts. At December 31, 2014, the total notional amount of interest rate swap contracts was $48.5 million with a fair value net loss of $1.0 million. The Company is exposed to losses if the counterparties fail to make their payments under the contract in which the Company is in a receiving status. The Company minimizes its risk by monitoring the credit standing of the counterparties. The Company anticipates the counterparties will be able to fully satisfy their obligations under the remaining agreements. See Note 14 of "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" of this Form 10-Q for additional information.
Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices
The unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering the change in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The impact of inflation is reflected in the increased cost of the Bank's operations. Unlike most industrial companies, nearly all the assets and liabilities of the Bank are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a greater impact on the Bank's performance than do the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the prices of goods and services.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
In the normal course of business, the Company makes use of a number of different financial instruments to help meet the financial needs of its customers. In accordance with GAAP, the full notional amounts of these transactions are not recorded in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and are referred to as off-balance sheet instruments. These transactions and activities include commitments to extend lines of credit and standby letters of credit, and a recourse liability on the repurchase of mortgage loans previously sold. Off-balance sheet arrangements are discussed further in Part II, Item 8 “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2014, under Note 20 in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.”
Off-balance sheet arrangements also include trust preferred securities, which have been de-consolidated in this report. Further information regarding trust preferred securities can be found in Note 13 in the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" of this Form 10-Q.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2014, FASB issued ASU 2014-04 “Receivables-Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors” (ASC Topic 310-40), regarding guidance to reduce inconsistencies when derecognizing loan receivables and recording real estate recognized. A creditor is considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan, upon either (1) the creditor obtaining legal title to the residential real estate property upon completion of a foreclosure or (2) the borrower conveying all interest in the residential real estate property to the creditor to satisfy that loan through completion of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or through a similar legal agreement. Additionally, the amendments require interim and annual disclosure of both (1) the amount of foreclosed residential real estate property held by the creditor and (2) the recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that are in the process of foreclosure according to local requirements of the applicable jurisdiction. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2014, and the interim periods within those fiscal years. An entity can elect to adopt the amendments using either a modified retrospective transition method or a prospective transition method. Early adoption is permitted. The Company anticipates to adopt this update in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 and does not expect the adoption to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
In April 2014, FASB issued ASU 2014-08 “Presentation of Financial Statement (ASC Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment" (ASC Topic 360), regarding guidance to report discontinued operations and disclosures of disposals of components of an entity. This update addresses the issue that currently, many disposals of small groups of assets, that are recurring in nature, qualify for discontinued operations. This update changes the criteria for reporting discontinued operations and also enhances convergence of the FASB’s and the International Accounting Standard Board’s (IASB) reporting requirements for discontinued operations.The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2014, and the interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but only for disposals that have not been reported in the financial statements previously issued or available for issuance. The Company anticipates to adopt this update in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 and does not expect the adoption to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
In June 2014, FASB issued ASU 2014-11 “Transfers and Servicing" (ASC Topic 860), regarding changing the accounting for repurchase-to-maturity transactions to secured borrowing accounting requiring separate accounting for a transfer of a financial asset executed contemporaneously with a repurchase agreement with the same counterparty, which will result in secured borrowing accounting for the repurchase agreement. In addition, this Update requires disclosures for certain transactions comprising (1) a transfer of a financial asset accounted for as a sale and (2) an agreement with the same transferee entered into in contemplation of the initial transfer that results in the transferor retaining substantially all of the exposure to the economic return on the transferred financial asset throughout the term of the transaction. The update is effective for the first interim or annual period beginning after December 15, 2014, and the disclosure for repurchase agreements, securities lending transactions, and repurchase-to-maturity transactions accounted for as secured borrowings is required to be presented for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and for interim periods beginning after March 15, 2015. The Company anticipates to adopt this update in the third and fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, as required, and does not expect the adoption to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
In June 2014, FASB issued ASU 2014-12 “Compensation-Stock Compensation” (ASC Topic 718), regarding when the terms of an award provide that a performance target could be achieved after the requisite service period. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and the interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is

63



permitted. Entities may apply the amendments in this Update either (a) prospectively to all awards granted or modified after the effective date or (b) retrospectively to all awards with performance targets that are outstanding as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statements and to all new or modified awards thereafter. The Company anticipates to adopt this update in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 and does not expect the adoption to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
In August 2014, FASB issued ASU 2014-13 “Consolidation” (ASC Topic 810), measuring the financial assets and the financial liabilities of a consolidated collateralized financing entity. For entities that consolidate a collateralized financing entity within the scope of this update, an option to elect to measure the financial assets and the financial liabilities of that collateralized financing entity using either the measurement alternative included in this Update or Topic 820 on fair value measurement is provided. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and the interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual period. The Company anticipates to adopt this update in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 and does not expect the adoption to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
In August 2014, FASB issued ASU 2014-14 “Receivables-Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors” (ASC Subtopic 310-40), require that a mortgage loan be derecognized and that a separate other receivable be recognized upon foreclosure if the following conditions are met: (1) the loan has a government guarantee that is not separable from the loan before foreclosure; (2) at the time of foreclosure, the creditor has the intent to convey the real estate property to the guarantor and make a claim on the guarantee, and the creditor has the ability to recover under that claim; and (3) at the time of foreclosure, any amount of the claim that is determined on the basis of the fair value of the real estate is fixed. Upon foreclosure, the separate other receivable should be measured based on the amount of the loan balance (principal and interest) expected to be recovered from the guarantor. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2014, and the interim periods within those fiscal years. An entity should adopt the amendments in this Update using either a prospective transition method or a modified retrospective transition method. Early adoption, including adoption in an interim period, is permitted if the entity already has adopted Update 2014-04. The Company anticipates to adopt this update in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 and does not expect the adoption to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
In September 2014, FASB issued ASU 2014-15 “Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern” (ASC Topic 205-40), disclosing the uncertainties about an Entity's ability to continue as a going concern. There may be conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern. Financial statements should be presented using the going concern basis of accounting, but the amendment in this update should be followed to determine whether to disclose information about the relevant conditions and events. The guidance is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual period and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. The Company anticipates to apply this update in the annual report for fiscal 2017 and does not expect the application to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
In January 2015, FASB issued ASU 2015-01 “Income Statement-Extraordinary and Unusual Items” (Subtopic 225-20), eliminating the presentation of extraordinary items from income statement presentation. While this update removes the presentation and the need to evaluate the existence of extraordinary items for presentation on the income statement, presentation and disclosure guidance for items that are unusual in nature or occur infrequently will be retained and required to be reported within the document accordingly. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted provided that the guideline is applied from the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The Company anticipates to adopt this update in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 and does not expect the application to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Since October 1, 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-16 through ASU no. 2015-01. Other than ASU 2015-01 mentioned above, no other updates are applicable to the consolidated financial statements of the Company.
Subsequent Event
Management has evaluated subsequent events for potential disclosure or recognition through February 6, 2015, the date of the filing of the consolidated financial statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Interest Rate Risk Management
The Company's net income is largely dependent on its net interest income. Net interest income is susceptible to interest rate risk to the degree that interest-bearing liabilities with short- and medium-term maturities mature or reprice more rapidly than its interest-earning assets. When interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice more quickly than interest-earning assets in a given period, a significant increase in market rates of interest could adversely affect net interest income. Similarly, when interest-earning assets mature or reprice more quickly than interest-bearing liabilities, falling interest rates could result in a decrease in net income.

In an attempt to manage its exposure to change in interest rates, management monitors the Company's interest rate risk. The Company's Asset/Liability Committee meets periodically to review the Company's interest rate risk position and profitability, and to recommend adjustments for consideration by executive management. Management also reviews the Bank's securities portfolio, formulates investment strategies, and oversees the timing and implementation of transactions to assure attainment of the Board's objectives in the most effective manner. In managing market risk and the asset/liability mix, the Bank has placed its emphasis on developing a portfolio in which, to the extent practicable, assets and liabilities reprice within similar periods. Notwithstanding the Company's interest rate risk management activities, the potential for changing interest rates is an uncertainty which may have an adverse effect on net income.

The Company adjusts its asset/liability position to mitigate the Company's interest rate risk. At times, depending on the level of general interest rates, the relationship between long- and short-term interest rates, market conditions and competitive factors, management may increase the Company's interest rate risk position in order to increase its net interest margin. The Company's results of operations and net portfolio values remain vulnerable to increases in interest rates and to fluctuations in the difference between long- and short-term interest rates.

As set forth below, the volatility of a rate change, the change in asset or liability mix of the Company or other factors may produce a decrease in net interest margin in an upward moving rate environment even as the net portfolio value (“NPV”) estimate indicates an increase in net value. The inverse situation may also occur. One approach used by the Company to quantify interest rate risk is an NPV analysis. This analysis calculates the difference between the present value of the liabilities and the present value of expected cash flows from assets and off-balance sheet contracts. The following tables set forth, at December 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014, an analysis of the Company's interest rate risk as measured by the estimated changes in NPV resulting from instantaneous and sustained parallel shifts in the yield curve. Management does not believe that the Company has experienced any material changes in its market risk position from that disclosed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2014 or that the Company's primary market risk exposures and how those exposures were managed during the six months ended December 31, 2014 changed significantly when compared to June 30, 2014.

Even if interest rates change in the designated amounts, there can be no assurance that the Company's assets and liabilities would perform as set forth below. In addition, a change in U.S. Treasury rates in the designated amounts accompanied by a change in the shape of the Treasury yield curve would cause significantly different changes to the NPV than indicated below.

In managing market risk and the asset/liability mix, the Bank has placed an emphasis on developing a portfolio in which, to the extent practicable, assets and liabilities reprice within similar periods. The goal of this policy is to provide a relatively consistent level of net interest income in varying interest rate cycles and to minimize the potential for significant fluctuations from period to period.
Item 4.    Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of December 31, 2014, an evaluation was performed by the Company's management, including the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer and the Company's Senior Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports the Company files and submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. Based upon that evaluation, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer and the Company's Senior Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2014.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2014, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1.    Legal Proceedings
The Company, the Bank and each of their subsidiaries are, from time to time, involved as plaintiff or defendant in various legal actions arising in the normal course of their businesses. While the ultimate outcome of any such proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, it is generally the opinion of management, after consultation with counsel representing the Bank and the Company in any such proceedings, that the resolution of any such proceedings should not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations. The Company, the Bank and each of their subsidiaries are not aware of any material legal actions or other proceedings contemplated by governmental authorities outside of the normal course of business.
