Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
This report contains certain financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with GAAP. These measures include net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis and net interest margin on a fully tax equivalent basis. Management uses these non-GAAP measures in its analysis of the Company’s performance. The tax equivalent adjustment to net interest income recognizes the income tax savings when comparing taxable and tax-exempt assets and assumes a 34% tax rate. Management believes that it is a standard practice in the banking industry to present net interest income and net interest margin on a fully tax equivalent basis, and accordingly believes that providing these measures may be useful for peer comparison purposes. These disclosures should not be viewed as substitutes for the results determined to be in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies.
Critical Accounting Policies
Critical accounting policies and estimates are discussed in our 2016 Form 10-K under Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Policies.” That discussion highlights estimates that the Company makes that involve uncertainty or potential for substantial change. There have not been any material changes in the Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates as compared to the disclosures contained in the Company’s 2016 Form 10-K.
Executive Overview
As a progressive, community-oriented financial services company, the Company emphasizes local, personal service to residents of its primary market area. The Company considers Clark, Cowlitz, Klickitat and Skamania counties of Washington and Multnomah and Marion counties of Oregon as its primary market area. The counties of Multnomah, Clark and Skamania are part of the Portland metropolitan area as defined by the U.S. Census Bureau. The Company is engaged predominantly in the business of attracting deposits from the general public and using such funds in its primary market area to originate commercial business, commercial real estate, multi-family real estate, land, real estate construction, residential real estate and other consumer loans. The Company’s loan portfolio totaled $619.9 million at June 30, 2016 compared to $614.9 million at March 31, 2016.
The Company’s primary focus is to increase commercial real estate and commercial business loans. Beginning in 2014, the Company periodically began purchasing pools of automobile loans from another financial institution as a way to further diversify its loan portfolio and to earn a higher yield than earned on its cash or short-term investments. These automobile loans are originated through a single dealership group located outside the Company’s primary market area. The collateral for these loans is comprised of a mix of used automobiles. These loans are purchased with servicing retained by the seller. At June 30, 2016, the Company’s purchased automobile loan portfolio was $33.5 million. The Company may purchase additional automobile loans during fiscal year 2017, subject to these loans meeting our investment criteria, underwriting standards and internal loan concentration limits. At June 30, 2016, five of the purchased automobile loans totaling $63,000 were on non-accrual status.
The Bank’s subsidiary, the Trust Company, a trust and financial services company located in downtown Vancouver, Washington, provides full-service brokerage activities, trust and asset management services. The Bank’s Business and Professional Banking Division, with two lending offices in Vancouver and one in Portland, offers commercial and business banking services.
Vancouver is located in Clark County, Washington, which is just north of Portland, Oregon. Many businesses are located in the Vancouver area because of the favorable tax structure and lower energy costs in Washington as compared to Oregon. Companies located in the Vancouver area include Sharp Microelectronics, Hewlett Packard, Georgia Pacific, Underwriters Laboratory, Wafer Tech, Nautilus, Barrett Business Services, PeaceHealth and Fisher Investments, as well as several support industries. In addition to this industry base, the Columbia River Gorge Scenic Area and the Portland metropolitan area are sources of tourism, which has helped to transform the area from its past dependence on the timber industry.
The Company’s strategic plan includes targeting the commercial banking customer base in its primary market area for loan originations and deposit growth, specifically small and medium size businesses, professionals and wealth building individuals. In pursuit of these goals, the Company will seek to increase the loan portfolio consistent with its strategic plan and asset/liability and regulatory capital objectives, which includes maintaining a significant amount of commercial and commercial real estate loans in its loan portfolio. Significant portions of our new loan originations – which are mainly concentrated in commercial business, commercial real estate and multi-family loans – carry adjustable rates, higher yields or shorter terms and higher credit risk than traditional fixed-rate consumer real estate one-to-four family mortgages.
At June 30, 2016, checking accounts totaled $337.8 million, or 42.8% of our total deposit mix compared to $282.5 million or 39.1% a year ago. Our strategic plan also stresses increased emphasis on non-interest income, including increased fees for asset management through the Trust Company and deposit service charges. The strategic plan is designed to enhance earnings, reduce interest rate risk and provide a more complete range of financial services to customers and the local communities the Company serves. We believe we are well positioned to attract new customers and to increase our market share through our 17 branches, including ten in Clark County, two in the Portland metropolitan area and three lending centers.
Economic conditions in the Company’s market areas have continued to improve from the recent recessionary downturn. According to the Washington State Employment Security Department, unemployment in Clark County decreased to 6.0% at May 31, 2016 compared to 6.3% at March 31, 2016 and 6.2% at June 30, 2015. According to the Oregon Employment Department, unemployment in Portland decreased to 3.9% at May 31, 2016 compared to 4.0% at March 31, 2016 and 5.1% at June 30, 2015. According to the Regional Multiple Listing Services (“RMLS”), residential home inventory levels in Portland have slightly increased to 1.5 months at June 30, 2016 compared to 1.3 months at March 31, 2016 and slightly decreased compared to 1.6 months at June 30, 2015. Residential home inventory levels in Clark County have slightly increased to 1.8 months at June 30, 2016 compared to 1.7 months at March 31, 2016 and decreased compared to 2.1 months at June 30, 2015. According to the RMLS, closed home sales in Clark County decreased 4.6% in June 2016 compared to June 2015. Closed home sales during June 2016 in Portland decreased 4.4% compared to June 2015. The Company has also seen an increase in sales activity for building lots during the past twelve months. Commercial real estate leasing activity and the residential real estate market in the Portland/Vancouver area have been thriving and the vacancy rates in the Portland/Vancouver area have been relatively low.
Operating Strategy
The Company’s goal is to deliver returns to shareholders by managing problem assets, increasing higher-yielding assets (in particular commercial real estate and commercial business loans), increasing core deposit balances, reducing expenses, hiring experienced employees with a commercial lending focus and exploring expansion opportunities. The Company seeks to achieve these results by focusing on the following objectives:
Focusing on Asset Quality
. The Company is focused on monitoring existing performing loans, resolving nonperforming loans and selling foreclosed assets. The Company has aggressively sought to reduce its level of nonperforming assets through write-downs, collections, modifications and sales of nonperforming loans and REO. The Company has taken proactive steps to resolve its nonperforming loans, including negotiating repayment plans, forbearances, loan modifications and loan extensions with borrowers when appropriate, and accepting short payoffs on delinquent loans, particularly when such payoffs result in a smaller loss than foreclosure. Nonperforming assets decreased $384,000 to $2.9 million at June 30, 2016 compared to $3.3 million at March 31, 2016. However, there can be no assurance that deterioration in economic conditions will not result in future increases in nonperforming and classified loans.
Improving Earnings by Expanding Product Offerings
. The Company intends to prudently increase the percentage of its assets consisting of higher-yielding commercial real estate and commercial loans, which offer higher risk-adjusted returns, shorter maturities and more sensitivity to interest rate fluctuations, while maintaining compliance with heightened regulatory capital requirements. The Company also intends to selectively add additional products to further diversify revenue sources and to capture more of each customer’s banking relationship by cross selling loan and deposit products and additional services to Bank customers, including services provided through the Trust Company to increase its fee income. Assets under management by the Trust Company totaled $396.0 million and $389.1 million at June 30, 2016 and March 31, 2016, respectively.
The Company continuously reviews new products and services to provide its customers more financial options. All new technology and services are generally reviewed for business development and cost saving purposes. The Bank has implemented remote check capture at all of its branches and for selected customers of the Bank. The Company continues to experience growth in customer use of its online banking services, which allows customers to conduct a full range of services on a real-time basis, including balance inquiries, transfers and electronic bill paying. The Company also upgraded its online banking product for consumer customers, including the introduction of mobile deposit capture, providing consumer customers greater flexibility and convenience in conducting their online banking. The Company’s online service has also enhanced the delivery of cash management services to business customers. The Company also participates in an internet deposit listing service which allows the Company to post time deposit rates on an internet site where institutional investors have the ability to deposit funds with the Company. Although the Company has currently chosen not to utilize these internet based deposits, the Company will continue to have access to these funds in the future. Furthermore, the Company may utilize the internet deposit listing service to purchase certificates of deposit at other financial institutions. The Company also offers Insured Cash Sweep (ICS™), a reciprocal money market product, to its customers along with the Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service (CDARS™) program which allows customers access to Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance on deposits exceeding the $250,000 FDIC insurance limit.
Attracting Core Deposits and Other Deposit Products
. The Company’s strategic focus is to emphasize total relationship banking with its customers to internally fund its loan growth. The Company has reduced its reliance on other wholesale funding sources, including FHLB and FRB advances, by focusing on the continued growth of core customer deposits. The Company believes that a continued focus on customer relationships will help to increase the level of core deposits and locally-based retail certificates of deposit. In addition to its retail branches, the Company maintains technology-based products, such as personal financial management, business cash management, and business remote deposit products, that enable it to compete effectively with banks of all sizes. Core branch deposits (comprised of all demand, savings, interest checking accounts and all time deposits excluding wholesale-brokered deposits, trust account deposits, Interest on Lawyer Trust Accounts (“IOLTA”), public funds and Internet based deposits) increased $4.6 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2016 compared to the prior quarter.
Continued Expense Control
. Management has undertaken several initiatives to reduce non-interest expense and continues to make it a priority to identify cost savings opportunities throughout all aspects of the Company’s operations, including forming a cost saving committee whose mission is to find additional cost saving opportunities at the Company. The Company has instituted expense control measures such as cancelling certain projects and capital purchases, and reducing travel and entertainment and other noninterest expenditures. In this regard, we have reduced our efficiency ratio over the last serval years from 98.0% at March 31, 2014 to 75.6% at June 30, 2016.
Recruiting and Retaining Highly Competent Personnel With a Focus on Commercial Lending
. The Company’s ability to continue to attract and retain banking professionals with strong community relationships and significant knowledge of its markets will be a key to its success. The Company believes that it enhances its market position and adds profitable growth opportunities by focusing on hiring and retaining experienced bankers focused on owner occupied commercial real estate and commercial lending, and the deposit balances that accompany these relationships. The Company emphasizes to its employees the importance of delivering exemplary customer service and seeking opportunities to build further relationships with its customers. The goal is to compete with other financial service providers by relying on the strength of the Company’s customer service and relationship banking approach. The Company believes that one of its strengths is that its employees are also significant shareholders through the Company’s employee stock ownership (“ESOP”) and 401(k) plans.
Disciplined Franchise Expansion
. The Company believes opportunities currently exist within its market area to grow its franchise. The Company anticipates organic growth as the local economy and loan demand strengthens through its marketing efforts and as a result of the opportunities being created due to the consolidation of financial institutions within its market area. The Company may also seek to expand its franchise through the selective acquisition of individual branches, loan or asset purchases and whole bank transactions that meet its investment and market objectives. The Company expects to gradually expand its operations further in the Portland, Oregon metropolitan area which has a population of approximately two million people. The Company will continue to be disciplined as it pertains to future expansion focusing on the Pacific Northwest markets it knows and understands.

Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2016 and March 31, 2016
Cash and cash equivalents, including interest-earning accounts, totaled $50.4 million at June 30, 2016 compared to $55.4 million at March 31, 2016. The Company has deployed a portion of its excess cash balances into investment securities to earn higher yields than cash held in interest-earning accounts based on its asset/liability program and liquidity objectives in order to maximize earnings. As a part of this strategy, the Company also invests a portion of its excess cash in short-term certificates of deposit. All of the certificates of deposit held for investment are fully insured by the FDIC. At June 30, 2016, certificates of deposits held for investment totaled $16.3 million compared to $16.8 million at March 31, 2016.
Investment securities totaled $163.7 million and $150.7 million at June 30, 2016 and March 31, 2016, respectively. The Company primarily purchases a combination of securities backed by government agencies (FHLMC, FNMA, SBA or GNMA). During the three months ended June 30, 2016, the Company purchased $21.5 million of investment securities. For the quarter ended June 30, 2016, the Company determined that none of its investment securities required an OTTI charge. For additional information, see Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.
Loans receivable, net, totaled $619.9 million at June 30, 2016 compared to $614.9 million at March 31, 2016. The Company has had steady loan demand in its market areas and anticipates continuing organic loan growth. A substantial portion of the loan portfolio is secured by real estate, either as primary or secondary collateral, located in the Company’s primary market areas. Risks associated with loans secured by real estate include decreases in land and property values, increases in interest rates, deterioration in local economic conditions, tightening credit or refinancing markets, and a geographic concentration of loans. The Company has no option adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) or teaser residential real estate loans in its portfolio.
Deposit accounts increased $9.8 million to $789.6 million at June 30, 2016 compared to $779.8 million at March 31, 2016. The Company had no wholesale-brokered deposits as of June 30, 2016 or March 31, 2016. Core branch deposits accounted for 95.2% of total deposits at June 30, 2016 compared to 95.8% at March 31, 2016. The Company plans to continue its focus on core deposits and on building customer relationships as opposed to obtaining deposits through the wholesale markets.
Shareholders’ Equity and Capital Resources
Shareholders' equity increased $1.7 million to $110.0 million at June 30, 2016 from $108.3 million at March 31, 2016. The increase was mainly attributable to net income of $1.7 million. Additionally, other comprehensive income related to unrealized holding gain on securities available for sale increased $441,000. These increases were partially offset by dividends declared of $449,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2016.
The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”). Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Bank’s financial statements. As of June 30, 2016, the Bank was “well capitalized” as defined under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as “well capitalized,” the Bank must maintain the minimum capital ratios set forth in the table below.
The Bank’s actual and required minimum capital amounts and ratios are as follows at the dates indicated (dollars in thousands):

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity is essential to our business. The objective of the Bank’s liquidity management is to maintain ample cash flows to meet obligations for depositor withdrawals, to fund the borrowing needs of loan customers, and to fund ongoing operations. Core relationship deposits are the primary source of the Bank’s liquidity. As such, the Bank focuses on deposit relationships with local consumer and business clients who maintain multiple accounts and services at the Bank.
Liquidity management is both a short and long-term responsibility of the Company's management. The Company 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) its asset/liability management program objectives. Excess liquidity is invested generally in interest-bearing overnight deposits and other short-term government and agency obligations. If the Company requires funds beyond its ability to generate them internally, it has additional diversified and reliable sources of funds with the FHLB, the FRB and other wholesale facilities. These sources of funds may be used on a long or short-term basis to compensate for a reduction in other sources of funds or on a long-term basis to support lending activities.
The Company's primary sources of funds are customer deposits, proceeds from principal and interest payments on loans, proceeds from the sale of loans, maturing securities, FHLB advances and FRB borrowings. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are a predictable source of funds, deposit flows and prepayment of mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. Management believes that its focus on core relationship deposits coupled with access to borrowing through reliable counterparties provides reasonable and prudent assurance that ample liquidity is available. However, depositor or counterparty behavior could change in response to competition, economic or market situations or other unforeseen circumstances, which could have liquidity implications that may require different strategic or operational actions.
The Company must maintain an adequate level of liquidity to help ensure the availability of sufficient funds for loan originations, deposit withdrawals and continuing operations, satisfy other financial commitments and take advantage of investment opportunities. During the three months ended June 30, 2016, the Company used its sources of funds primarily to fund loan commitments and purchase investment securities. At June 30, 2016, cash and available for sale investments totaled $230.3 million, or 24.7% of total assets. The Bank generally maintains sufficient cash and short-term investments to meet short-term liquidity needs; however, its primary liquidity management practice is to increase or decrease short-term borrowings, including FRB borrowings and FHLB advances. At June 30, 2016, the Company had no advances from the FRB and a borrowing capacity of $63.6 million from the FRB. At June 30, 2016, there were no borrowings from the FHLB and the Company had an available credit facility of $214.6 million. At June 30, 2016, the Company had sufficient unpledged collateral to allow it to utilize its available borrowing capacity from the FRB and the FHLB. Borrowing capacity may, however, fluctuate based on acceptability and risk rating of loan collateral and counterparties could adjust discount rates applied to such collateral at their discretion.
An additional source of wholesale funding includes brokered certificates of deposit. While the Bank has utilized brokered deposits from time to time, the Bank historically has not extensively relied on brokered deposits to fund its operations. At June 30, 2016 and March 31, 2016, the Bank had no wholesale brokered deposits. As previously discussed, the Bank participates in the CDARS and ICS deposit products, which allows the Company to accept deposits in excess of the FDIC insurance limit for that depositor and obtain “pass-through” insurance for the total deposit. The Bank’s CDARS and ICS balances were $19.3 million, or 2.4% of total deposits, and $27.1 million, or 3.5% of total deposits, at June 30, 2016 and March 31, 2016, respectively. Also as previously discussed, the Bank is enrolled in an internet deposit listing service. The combination of all the Bank’s funding sources gives the Bank available liquidity of $642.4 million, or 68.9% of total assets at June 30, 2016.
At June 30, 2016, the Company had total commitments of $162.2 million, which includes commitments to extend credit of $51.3 million, unused lines of credit and undisbursed balances of $109.5 million and standby letters of credit totaling $1.4 million. The Company anticipates that it will have sufficient funds available to meet current loan commitments. Certificates of deposit that are scheduled to mature in less than one year totaled $72.9 million. Historically, the Bank has been able to retain a significant amount of its deposits as they mature. Offsetting these cash outflows are scheduled loan maturities of less than one year totaling $62.6 million.
As a separate legal entity from the Bank, Riverview Bancorp, Inc. must provide for its own liquidity. Sources of capital and liquidity for Riverview Bancorp, Inc. include distributions from the Bank and the issuance of debt or equity securities. Dividends and other capital distributions from the Bank are subject to regulatory notice. At June 30, 2016, Riverview Bancorp, Inc. had $899,000 in cash to meet liquidity needs.
Asset Quality
Nonperforming assets, consisting of nonperforming loans and REO, totaled $2.9 million or 0.31% of total assets at June 30, 2016 compared to $3.3 million or 0.36% of total assets at March 31, 2016.

The Company continues to focus on managing the residential construction and land acquisition and development portfolios. At June 30, 2016, the Company’s residential construction and land acquisition and development loan portfolios were $14.2 million and $11.1 million, respectively, as compared to $10.0 million and $12.0 million, respectively at March 31, 2016. The percentage of nonperforming loans in the land acquisition and development portfolios at June 30, 2016 was 7.19%, compared 6.65% at March 31, 2016. There were no nonperforming residential construction loans at June 30, 2016 or March 31, 2016. For the three months ended June 30, 2016, there were no charge-offs or recoveries in the residential construction portfolio. Net recoveries in the land development portfolio totaled $82,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2016.
REO totaled $569,000 at June 30, 2016 compared to $595,000 at March 31, 2016. During the quarter ended June 30, 2016, REO sales totaled $26,000. There were no valuation write-downs or transfers to REO for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The $569,000 balance of REO is comprised of a land development property totaling $271,000 and a one-to-four family real estate property totaling $298,000. Each of these properties are located in Washington and Oregon.
The allowance for loan losses was $10.0 million or 1.58% of total loans at June 30, 2016 compared to $9.9 million or 1.58% of total loans at March 31, 2016. The balance of the allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2016 reflects the continuing trend of lower levels of delinquent, nonperforming and classified loans, net recoveries, as well as stabilizing real estate values in our market areas. The Company recorded no provision for loan losses for the three months ended June 30, 2016.
The coverage ratio of allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans was 422.75% at June 30, 2016 compared to 364.22% at March 31, 2016. At June 30, 2016, the Company identified $2.1 million or 88.70% of its nonperforming loans as impaired and performed a specific valuation analysis on each loan resulting in no specific reserves being required for these impaired loans. Management considers the allowance for loan losses to be adequate at June 30, 2016 to cover probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio based on the assessment of various factors affecting the loan portfolio, and the Company believes it has established its existing allowance for loan losses in accordance with GAAP. However, a decline in local economic conditions, results of examinations by the Company’s regulators, or other factors could result in a material increase in the allowance for loan losses and may adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. In addition, because future events affecting borrowers and collateral cannot be predicted with certainty, there can be no assurance that the existing allowance for loan losses will be adequate or that substantial increases will not be necessary should the quality of any loans deteriorate or should collateral values decline as a result of the factors discussed elsewhere in this document. For further information regarding the Company’s impaired loans and allowance for loan losses, see Note 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.
Troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) are loans for which the Company, for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower's financial condition, has granted a concession to the borrower that it would otherwise not consider. A TDR typically involves a modification of terms such as a reduction of the stated interest rate or face amount of the loan, a reduction of accrued interest, or an extension of the maturity date(s) at a stated interest rate lower than the current market rate for a new loan with similar risk.
TDRs are considered impaired loans and as such, when a loan is deemed to be impaired, the amount of the impairment is measured using discounted cash flows using the original note rate, except when the loan is collateral dependent. In these cases, the estimated fair value of the collateral (less any selling costs, if applicable) is used. Impairment is recognized as a specific component within the allowance for loan losses if the estimated value of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan. When the amount of the impairment represents a confirmed loss, it is charged off against the allowance for loan losses. At June 30, 2016, the Company had TDRs totaling $13.7 million of which $11.6 million were on accrual status. However, all of the Company’s TDRs are paying as agreed except for one TDR commercial real estate loan of $1.3 million that defaulted since the loan was modified. The related amount of interest income recognized on TDRs was $138,000 and $182,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
The Company has determined that, in certain circumstances, it is appropriate to split a loan into multiple notes. This typically includes a nonperforming charged-off loan that is not supported by the cash flow of the relationship and a performing loan that is supported by the cash flow. These may also be split into multiple notes to align portions of the loan balance with the various sources of repayment when more than one exists. Generally the new loans are restructured based on customary underwriting standards. In situations where they were not, the policy exception qualifies as a concession, and if the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, the loans are accounted for as TDRs.
The accrual status of a loan may change after it has been classified as a TDR. The Company’s general policy related to TDRs is to perform a credit evaluation of the borrower’s financial condition and prospects for repayment under the revised terms. This evaluation includes consideration of the borrower’s sustained historical repayment performance for a reasonable period of time. A sustained period of repayment performance generally would be a minimum of six months, and may include repayments made prior to the restructuring date. If repayment of principal and interest appears doubtful, it is placed on non-accrual status.

Other loans of concern, which are classified as substandard loans and are not presently included in the non-accrual category, consist of loans where the borrowers have cash flow problems, or the collateral securing the respective loans may be inadequate. In either or both of these situations, the borrowers may be unable to comply with the present loan repayment terms, and the loans may subsequently be included in the non-accrual category. Management considers the allowance for loan losses to be adequate to cover the probable losses inherent in these and other loans.

At June 30, 2016 and March 31, 2016, loans delinquent 30 - 89 days were 0.04% and 0.10%, respectively, of total loans. At June 30, 2016, there were no 30 - 89 days delinquent loans in the commercial business portfolio or the commercial real estate loan portfolio. At that date, commercial real estate loans represented the largest portion of the loan portfolio at 58.74% of total loans and commercial business loans represented 9.80% of total loans.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Other Contractual Obligations
In the normal course of operations, the Company enters into certain contractual obligations and other commitments. Obligations generally relate to funding of operations through deposits and borrowings as well as leases for premises. Commitments generally relate to lending operations.
The Company has obligations under long-term operating and capital leases, principally for building space and land. Lease terms generally cover five-year periods, with options to extend, and are not subject to cancellation. During the second quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company modified its lease agreement on its operations center reducing the Company’s square footage leased and extending the lease agreement to November 2039.
The Company has commitments to originate fixed and variable rate mortgage loans to customers. Because some commitments expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Undisbursed loan funds and unused lines of credit include funds not disbursed but committed to construction projects and home equity and commercial lines of credit. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party.
For further information regarding the Company’s off-balance sheet arrangements and other contractual obligations, see Note 12 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.
Goodwill Valuation
Goodwill is initially recorded when the purchase price paid for an acquisition exceeds the estimated fair value of the net identified tangible and intangible assets acquired. Goodwill is presumed to have an indefinite useful life and is tested, at least annually, for impairment at the reporting unit level. The Company has two reporting units, the Bank and the Trust Company, for purposes of evaluating goodwill for impairment. All of the Company’s goodwill has been allocated to the Bank reporting unit. The Company performs an annual review in the third quarter of each fiscal year, or more frequently if indications of potential impairment exist, to determine if the recorded goodwill is impaired. If the fair value exceeds the carrying value, goodwill at the reporting unit level is not considered impaired and no additional analysis is necessary. If the carrying value of the reporting unit is greater than its fair value, there is an indication that impairment may exist and additional analysis must be performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. The amount of impairment is determined by comparing the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill to the carrying value of the goodwill in the same manner as if the reporting unit was being acquired in a business combination. Specifically, the Company would allocate the fair value to all of the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit, including unrecognized intangible assets, in a hypothetical analysis that would calculate the implied fair value of goodwill. If the implied fair value of goodwill is less than the recorded goodwill, the Company would record an impairment charge for the difference.
A significant amount of judgment is involved in determining if an indicator of impairment has occurred. Such indicators may include, among others: a significant decline in our expected future cash flows; a sustained, significant decline in our stock price and market capitalization; a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate; adverse action or assessment by a regulator; and unanticipated competition. Any adverse change in these factors could have a significant impact on the recoverability of these assets and could have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
The Company performed its annual goodwill impairment test during the quarter ended December 31, 2015. The goodwill impairment test involves a two-step process. Step one of the goodwill impairment test estimates the fair value of the reporting unit utilizing the allocation of corporate value approach, the income approach and the market approach in order to derive an enterprise value of the Company. The allocation of corporate value approach applies the aggregate market value of the Company and divides it among the reporting units. A key assumption in this approach is the control premium applied to the aggregate market value. A control premium is utilized as the value of a company from the perspective of a controlling interest and is generally higher than the widely quoted market price per share. The Company used an expected control premium of 30%, which was based on comparable transactional history. The income approach uses a reporting unit’s projection of estimated operating results and cash flows that is discounted using a rate that reflects current market conditions. The projection uses management’s best estimates of economic and market conditions over the projected period including growth rates in loans and deposits, estimates of future expected changes in net interest margins and cash expenditures. Assumptions used by the Company in its discounted cash flow model (income approach) included an annual revenue growth rate that approximated 9.0%, a net interest margin that approximated 4.2% and a return on assets that ranged from 0.83% to 1.24% (average of 1.06%). In addition to utilizing the above projections of estimated operating results, key assumptions used to determine the fair value estimate under the income approach were the discount rate of 14.2% utilized for our cash flow estimates and a terminal value estimated at 1.95 times the ending book value of the reporting unit. The Company used a build-up approach in developing the discount rate that included: an assessment of the risk free interest rate, the rate of return expected from publicly traded stocks, the industry the Company operates in and the size of the Company. The market approach estimates fair value by applying tangible book value multiples to the reporting unit’s operating performance. The multiples are derived from comparable publicly traded companies with similar operating and investment characteristics of the reporting unit. In applying the market approach method, the Company selected eight publicly traded comparable institutions based on a variety of financial metrics (tangible equity, leverage ratio, return on assets, return on equity, net interest margin, nonperforming assets, net charge-offs, and reserves for loan losses) and other relevant qualitative factors (geographical location, lines of business, business model, risk profile, availability of financial information, etc.). After selecting comparable institutions, the Company derived the fair value of the reporting unit by completing a comparative analysis of the relationship between their financial metrics listed above and their market values utilizing a market multiple of 1.10 times tangible book value. The Company calculated a fair value of its reporting unit of $143.0 million using the corporate value approach, $147.1 million using the income approach and $140.7 million using the market approach, with a final concluded value of $142.0 million, with primary weight given to the market approach. The results of the Company’s step one test indicated that the reporting unit’s fair value was greater than its carrying value and therefore no impairment of goodwill exists.
Even though the Company determined that there was no goodwill impairment, a decline in the value of its stock price as well as values of other financial institutions, declines in revenue for the Company beyond our current forecasts, significant adverse changes in the operating environment for the financial industry or an increase in the value of our assets without an increase in the value of the reporting unit may result in a future impairment charge.
It is possible that changes in circumstances existing at the measurement date or at other times in the future, or in the numerous estimates associated with management’s judgments, assumptions and estimates made in assessing the fair value of our goodwill, could result in an impairment charge of a portion or all of our goodwill. If the Company recorded an impairment charge, its financial position and results of operations would be adversely affected; however, such an impairment charge would have no impact on our liquidity, operations or regulatory capital.
Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2016 and 2015
Net Income.
Net income was $1.7 million, or $0.08 per diluted share for the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to $1.6 million, or $0.07 per diluted share for same prior year period. The Company’s earnings reflect the growth in the Company’s loan portfolio which resulted in an improvement in net interest income. There was no provision for loan losses for the three months ended June 30, 2016. Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2015 included a recapture of loan losses of $500,000.
Net Interest Income.
The Company’s profitability depends primarily on its net interest income, which is the difference between the income it receives on interest-earning assets and the interest paid on deposits and borrowings. When the rate earned on interest-earning assets equals or exceeds the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities, this positive interest rate spread will generate net interest income. The Company’s results of operations are also significantly affected by general economic and competitive conditions, particularly changes in market interest rates, government legislation and regulation, and monetary and fiscal policies.
Net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2016 was $7.8 million, representing an increase of $699,000, or 9.8%, from $7.1 million during the same prior year period. The net interest margin for the three months ended June 30, 2016 was 3.74% compared to 3.69% for the three months ended June 30, 2015. This increase was primarily the result of the increase in the average balance on loans receivable.
The Company achieves better net interest margins in a stable or increasing interest rate environment as a result of the balance sheet being slightly asset interest rate sensitive. At June 30, 2016, 6.71% of our loan portfolio had adjustable (floating) interest rates. At June 30, 2016, $24.0 million, or 56.77% of our adjustable (floating) loan portfolio contained interest rate floors, below which the loan’s contractual interest rate may not adjust. The inability of these loans to adjust downward has contributed to increased income in the current low interest rate environment; however, net interest income will be reduced in a rising interest rate environment until such time as the current rate exceeds these interest rate floors. At June 30, 2016, $12.9 million or 2.05% of the loans in the Company’s loan portfolio were at the floor interest rate of which $8.9 million or 69.20% had yields that would begin floating again once the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate increases at least 150 basis points.
Interest and Dividend Income.
Interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2016 increased $701,000 to $8.3 million compared to $7.6 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase was due primarily to the increase in the average balance on loans which resulted in an increase in interest income of $580,000 on loans receivable.
The average balance of net loans increased $58.3 million to $633.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 from $574.7 million for the same prior year period. The increase in average loan balances was due to an increased emphasis by the Company to increase its loan portfolio. The average yield on net loans was 4.71% for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to 4.80% for the same three months in the prior year. During the three months ended June 30, 2016, the Company also reversed $1,000 of interest income on nonperforming loans compared to $5,000 for the same three months in the prior year.
Interest Expense.
Interest expense totaled $439,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $437,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2015. The slight increase in interest expense was primarily the result of an increase in the interest rate on the Company’s junior subordinated debentures due to an increase in short-term interest rates during the past year. The Company continues to maintain low interest offerings on its deposit products in addition to the downward shift in the percentage of deposits representing certificates of deposit that yield a higher interest rate compared to savings and demand deposit accounts that yield a lower interest rate. The weighted average interest rate on interest-bearing deposits decreased to 0.19% for the three months ended June 30, 2016 from 0.22% for the same period in the prior year.
The following tables set forth, for the periods indicated, information regarding average balances of assets and liabilities as well as the total dollar amounts of interest earned on average interest-earning assets and interest paid on average interest-bearing liabilities, resultant yields, interest rate spread, ratio of interest-earning assets to interest-bearing liabilities and net interest margin (dollars in thousands):

Provision for Loan Losses.
There was no provision for loan losses for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The recapture of loan losses was $500,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2015. The lack of a provision for loan losses for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and the recapture of loan losses for the three months ended June 30, 2015 continue to be based upon net recoveries and the decline in the level of delinquent, nonperforming and classified loans, as well as the stabilization of real estate values in our market areas.
Net recoveries for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 were $75,000. Annualized net recoveries to average net loans for the three month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was 0.05%. The net recoveries occurred primarily as a result of the decrease in charge-offs as nonperforming loans continue to decline and the improvement and stabilization of real estate values in our market areas as well as an increase in recoveries on previously charged off loans. Nonperforming loans were $2.4 million at June 30, 2016, compared to $3.8 million at June 30, 2015. The ratio of allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans was 422.75% at June 30, 2016 compared to 273.97% at June 30, 2015. See “Asset Quality” above for additional information related to asset quality that management considers in determining the provision for loan losses.
Impaired loans are subjected to an impairment analysis to determine an appropriate reserve amount to be held against each loan. As of June 30, 2016, the Company had identified $13.7 million of impaired loans. Because the significant majority of the impaired loans are collateral dependent, nearly all of the specific allowances are calculated based on the fair value of the collateral. Of those impaired loans, $12.5 million have no specific valuation allowance as their estimated collateral value is equal to or exceeds the carrying costs, which in some cases is the result of previous loan charge-offs. Charge-offs on these impaired loans totaled $333,000 from their original loan balance. The remaining $1.2 million of impaired loans have specific valuation allowances totaling $107,000.
Non-Interest Income.
Non-interest income decreased $35,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the same prior year period. The decrease between the periods resulted from a decrease in gains on loans held for sale of $82,000 due to a decrease in mortgage activity for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the same prior year period. The decrease was partially offset by a $27,000 increase in fees and service charges and a $28,000 increase in other non-interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the same prior year period.
Non-Interest Expense.
Non-interest expense increased $70,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the same prior year period. REO expenses (which include operating costs and write-downs on property) decreased $264,000 primarily due to the overall decrease in REO balances at June 30, 2016 compared to June 30, 2015. Offsetting this decrease was an increase in salaries and employee benefits of $226,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the same prior year period.
Income Taxes.
The provision for income taxes was $825,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $833,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2015. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was 32.7% and 34.3%, respectively.
