NORTHEAST BANCORP AND SUBSIDIARY

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2013

 

1.  Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed and consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of Northeast Bancorp (“Northeast” or the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Northeast Bank (the “Bank”).

 

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting principally of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position at March 31, 2013, the results of operations for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the changes in stockholders’ equity for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, and the cash flows for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012. Operating results for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2013 (“Fiscal 2013”). For further information, refer to the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 (“Fiscal 2012”) included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

2.  Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities (“ASU 2011-11”). The update requires entities to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements of financial instruments and derivative instruments. The amendments require enhanced disclosures by requiring improved information about financial instruments and derivative instruments that are either (i) offset in accordance with current literature or (ii) subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement, irrespective of whether they are offset in accordance with current literature. ASU 2011-11 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after January 1, 2013. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

 

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2011-05”). The objective of this update is to improve the comparability, consistency, and transparency of financial reporting and to increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income. The amendments in this update require that all non-owner changes in stockholders’ equity be presented either in as single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The amendments are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011.  The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

 

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-12, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05. The amendments in this update defer those changes in ASU 2011-05 that relate to the presentation of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the components of net income and other comprehensive income for all periods presented. All other requirements in ASU 2011-05 are not affected by this update. The amendments are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011.  The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

 

In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-01, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities (“ASU 2013-01). The amendments clarify that the scope of Update 2011-11 applies to derivatives accounted for in accordance with Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, including bifurcated embedded derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions that are either offset in accordance with Section 210-20-45 or Section 815-10-45 or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. The new standards are effective for annual periods beginning January 1, 2013 and for interim periods within those annual periods. Retrospective application is required. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

 

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2013-02”). This ASU requires entities to (1) present (either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes) the effects on the line items of net income of significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income—but only if the item reclassified is required under GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period and (2) cross-reference to other disclosures currently required under GAAP for other reclassification items (that are not required under GAAP) to be reclassified directly to net income in their entirety in the same reporting period. This would be the case when a portion of the amount reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income is initially transferred to a balance sheet account instead of directly to income or expense. The new standards are effective for reporting periods

beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of ASU No. 2013-02 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

There were no other-than-temporary impairment losses on securities during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2013 or 2012.

 

At March 31, 2013, the Company did not have any securities in a continuous loss position for greater than twelve months.  At March 31, 2013, all of the Company’s available-for-sale securities were issued or guaranteed by either government agencies or government-

sponsored enterprises.  The decline in fair value of the Company’s available-for-sale securities at March 31, 2013 is attributable to changes in interest rates.

 

Management of the Company, in addition to considering current trends and economic conditions that may affect the quality of individual securities within the Company’s investment portfolio, also considers the Company’s ability and intent to hold such securities to maturity or recovery of cost.  Management does not believe any of the Company’s available-for-sale securities are other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2013.

 

The amortized cost and fair values of available-for-sale debt securities by contractual maturity are shown below as of March 31, 2013.  Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

4.  Loans, Allowance for Loan Losses and Credit Quality

 

Loans are carried at the principal amounts outstanding, or amortized acquired fair value in the case of acquired loans, adjusted by partial charge-offs and net of deferred loan costs or fees.  Loan fees and certain direct origination costs are deferred and amortized into interest income over the expected term of the loan using the level-yield method.  When a loan is paid off, the unamortized portion is recognized in interest income.  Interest income is accrued based upon the daily principal amount outstanding except for loans on nonaccrual status.

 

All loans purchased by the Company in the secondary market by the Bank’s Loan Acquisition and Servicing Group (“LASG”)  are accounted for under ASC 310-30, Receivables — Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality (“ASC 310-30”).  At acquisition, the effective interest rate is determined based on the discount rate that equates the present value of the Company’s estimate of cash flows with the purchase price of the loan. Prepayments are not assumed in determining a purchased loan’s effective interest rate and income accretion.  The application of ASC 310-30 limits the yield that may be accreted on the purchased loan, or the “accretable yield,” to the excess of the Company’s estimate, at acquisition, of the expected undiscounted principal, interest, and other cash flows over the Company’s initial investment in the loan.  The excess of contractually required payments receivable over the cash flows expected to be collected on the loan represents the purchased loan’s “nonaccretable difference.”  Subsequent improvements in expected cash flows of loans with nonaccretable differences result in a prospective increase to the loan’s effective yield through a reclassification of some, or all, of the nonaccretable difference to accretable yield.  The effect of subsequent declines in expected cash flows of purchased loans are recorded through a specific allocation in the allowance for loan losses.

 

Loans are generally placed on nonaccrual status when they are past due 90 days as to either principal or interest, or when in management’s judgment the collectability of interest or principal of the loan has been significantly impaired.  Loans accounted for under ASC 310-30 are placed on nonaccrual when it is not possible to reach a reasonable expectation of the timing and amount of cash flows to be collected on the loan.  When a loan has been placed on nonaccrual status, previously accrued and uncollected interest is reversed against interest on loans.  Interest on nonaccrual loans is accounted for on a cash-basis or using the cost-recovery method when collectability is doubtful.  A loan is returned to accrual status when collectability of principal is reasonably assured and the loan has performed for a reasonable period of time.

 

In cases where a borrower experiences financial difficulties and the Company makes certain concessionary modifications to contractual terms, the loan is classified as a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”).  Concessionary modifications may include adjustments to interest rates, extensions of maturity, and other actions intended to minimize economic loss and avoid foreclosure or repossession of collateral. For loans accounted for under ASC 310-30, the Company evaluates whether it has granted a concession by comparing the restructured debt terms to the expected cash flows at acquisition plus any additional cash flows expected to be collected arising from changes in estimate after acquisition.  As a result, if an ASC 310-30 loan is modified to be consistent with, or better than, the Company’s expectations at acquisition, the loan would not qualify as a TDR. Nonaccrual loans that are restructured generally remain on nonaccrual for a minimum period of six months to demonstrate that the borrower can meet the restructured terms.  If the restructured loan is on accrual status prior to being modified, it is reviewed to determine if the modified loan should remain on accrual status. If the borrower’s ability to meet the revised payment schedule is not reasonably assured, the loan is classified as a nonaccrual loan. Loans classified as TDRs remain classified as such until the loan is paid off.

 

The composition of the Company’s loan portfolio follows.

Purchased credit impaired (“PCI”) loans include those loans acquired with specific evidence of deterioration of credit quality since origination and for which it is probable, at acquisition, that the Company will be unable to collect all contractually required payments receivable.  The Company does not characterize purchased loans with no or insignificant credit impairment as PCI loans.  The following table presents a summary of PCI loans purchased by the LASG during the nine months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.

Allowance for Loan Losses

 

The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings.  Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed.  Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

 

The allowance for loan losses consists of general, specific, and unallocated reserves and reflects management’s estimate of probable loan losses inherent in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date.  Management uses a consistent and systematic process and methodology to evaluate the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis.  The calculation of the allowance for loan losses is segregated by portfolio segments, which include:  commercial real estate, commercial business, consumer, residential real estate, and purchased loans.  Risk characteristics relevant to each portfolio segment are as follows:

 

Residential real estate:  All loans in this segment are collateralized by residential real estate and repayment is primarily dependent on the credit quality of the individual borrower.  The overall health of the economy, particularly unemployment rates and housing prices, has a significant effect on the credit quality in this segment.  For purposes of the Company’s allowance for loan loss calculation, home equity loans and lines of credit are included in residential real estate.

 

Commercial real estate:  Loans in this segment are primarily income-producing properties. For owner-occupied properties, the cash flows are derived from an operating business, and the underlying cash flows may be adversely affected by deterioration in the financial condition of the operating business.  The underlying cash flows generated by non-owner occupied properties may be adversely affected by increased vacancy rates.  Management periodically obtains rent rolls, with which it monitors the cash flows of these loans.  Adverse developments in either of these areas will have an adverse effect on the credit quality of this segment.  For purposes of the allowance for loan losses, this segment also includes construction loans.

 

Commercial business:  Loans in this segment are made to businesses and are generally secured by the assets of the business. Repayment is expected from the cash flows of the business.  Continued weakness in national or regional economic conditions, and a corresponding weakness in consumer or business spending, will have an adverse effect on the credit quality of this segment.

Consumer:  Loans in this segment are generally secured, and repayment is dependent on the credit quality of the individual borrower.  Repayment of consumer loans is generally based on the earnings of individual borrowers, which may be adversely impacted by regional labor market conditions.

 

Purchased: Loans in this segment are secured by commercial real estate, multi-family residential real estate, or business assets and have been acquired by the LASG.  Loans acquired by the LASG are, with limited exceptions, performing loans at the date of purchase.  Loans in this segment acquired with specific material credit deterioration since origination are identified as purchased credit-impaired.  Repayment of loans in this segment is largely dependent on cash flow from the successful operation of the property, in the case of non-owner occupied property, or operating business, in the case of owner-occupied property.  Loan performance may be adversely affected by factors affecting the general economy or conditions specific to the real estate market, such as geographic location or property type. Loans in this segment are evaluated for impairment under ASC 310-30. The Company reviews expected cash flows from purchased loans on a quarterly basis. The effect of a decline in expected cash flows subsequent to the acquisition of the loan is recognized through a specific allocation in the allowance for loan losses.

 

The general component of the allowance for loan losses is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors stratified by loan segment.  The Company does not weight periods used in that analysis to determine the average loss rate in each portfolio segment.  This historical loss factor is adjusted for the following qualitative factors:

 

·                  Levels and trends in delinquencies

 

·                  Trends in the volume and nature of loans

 

·                  Trends in credit terms and policies, including underwriting standards, procedures and practices, and the experience and ability of lending management and staff

 

·                  Trends in portfolio concentration

 

·                  National and local economic trends and conditions.

 

·                  Effects of changes or trends in internal risk ratings

 

·                  Other effects resulting from trends in the valuation of underlying collateral

 

There were no changes in the Company’s policies or methodology pertaining to the general component of the allowance for loan losses during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2013.

 

The allocated component of the allowance for loan losses relates to loans that are classified as impaired. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for commercial business and commercial real estate 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.  An allowance is established when the discounted cash flows or collateral value of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. Large groups of smaller-balance homogeneous loans, such as consumer and residential real estate loans are collectively evaluated for impairment based on the group’s historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors.  Accordingly, the Company does not separately identify individual consumer and residential loans for individual impairment and disclosure.  However, all loans modified in troubled debt restructurings are individually reviewed for impairment.

 

For all portfolio segments, except the purchased loan segment, 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.  Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and 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.  For the purchased loan segment, a loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to realize cash flows as estimated at acquisition.  Loan impairment of purchased loans is measured based on the decrease in expected cash flows from those estimated at acquisition, excluding changes due to decreases in interest rate indices, discounted at the loan’s effective rate assumed at acquisition.  Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of the collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due.

Table of Contents

 

Credit Quality

 

The Company utilizes a ten-point internal loan rating system for its purchased loan portfolio and originated commercial real estate, construction and commercial business loans as follows:

 

Loans rated 1 – 6:  Loans in these categories are considered “pass” rated loans.  Loans in categories 1-5 are considered to have low to average risk.  Loans rated 6 are considered marginally acceptable business credits and have more than average risk.

 

Loans rated 7:  Loans in this category are considered “special mention.” These loans show signs of potential weakness and are being closely monitored by management.

 

Loans rated 8:  Loans in this category are considered “substandard.” Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Assets so classified have a well defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the orderly liquidation of the debt.

 

Loans rated 9:  Loans in this category are considered “doubtful.” Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in one graded 8 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 rated 10:  Loans in this category are considered “loss” and of such little value that their continuance as loans is not warranted.

 

On an annual basis, or more often if needed, the Company formally reviews the ratings of all commercial real estate, construction, and commercial business loans. Semi-annually, the Company engages an independent third-party to review a significant portion of loans within these segments. Management uses the results of these reviews as part of its annual review process.  Risk ratings on purchased loans, with and without evidence of credit deterioration at acquisition, are determined relative to the Company’s recorded investment in that loan, which may be significantly lower than the loan’s unpaid principal balance.

 

The following tables present the Company’s commercial loans by risk rating.

Further, during the first quarter of Fiscal 2013, the Company identified approximately $1.1 million of residential and consumer loans for which the borrower’s obligation had been discharged in bankruptcy in a prior period.  Under recent regulatory guidance, these loans are required to be classified as TDRs and are considered collateral dependent impaired loans.

The Company considers TDRs past due 90 days or more to be in payment default.  One loan modified in a TDR in the last twelve months defaulted during the nine months ended March 31, 2013; the recorded investment of such loan was $36 thousand.  There were no defaults of TDRs modified during the last twelve months during the three months ended March 31, 2013.  As of March 31, 2013, there were no further commitments to lend associated with loans modified in a TDR.

 

The following table shows loans modified in a TDR for the Fiscal 2012 periods and the change in the recorded investment subsequent to the modifications occurring. All concessions given during the period consisted of either rate reductions or maturity extensions, or combinations thereof. There was no forgiveness of principal related to loans modified in a TDR during the period. There were no defaults of loans previously modified in a TDR during the three or nine months ended March 31, 2012.

5.  Stock-Based Compensation

 

At the 2012 annual meeting of shareholders held on November 28, 2012, the Company’s shareholders approved the Northeast Bancorp Amended and Restated 2010 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “Restated Plan”). The Restated Plan amends and restates the Northeast Bancorp 2010 Option and Incentive Plan (the “2010 Plan”).  The key material differences between the 2010 Plan and the Restated Plan are:

 

·                  The maximum number of shares of common stock to be issued under the Restated Plan is increased by 600,000 shares, from 810,054 shares to 1,410,054 shares;

·                  The method by which shares subject to previously granted awards are added back to the Restated Plan has been revised so that the only shares added back to the Restated Plan are those subject to awards that are forfeited, canceled or otherwise terminated. The following shares shall not be added back to the Restated Plan: (i) shares tendered or held back upon exercise of an option or settlement of an award to cover the exercise price or tax withholding, and (ii) shares subject to a stock appreciation right that are not issued in connection with the stock settlement of the stock appreciation right upon exercise thereof.

·                  Minimum vesting periods are required for grants of restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance share awards; and

·                  The term of the Restated Plan will now expire on November 28, 2022, while grants of incentive options under the Restated Plan may be made until September 21, 2022.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2013, certain provisions of outstanding stock options with market-based conditions were modified. The options, consisting of 237,616 shares, were granted to three executives of the Company in December of 2010 and were to vest in three equal tranches upon the Company’s common stock reaching applicable hurdle prices.  The applicable hurdle price varies depending on the number of years that have elapsed since the date of grant.  With respect to the first tranche, the applicable hurdle price was $27.86 for the period from December 29, 2010 through December 29, 2015; $31.34 for the period from December 29, 2015 through December 29, 2016; and $34.83 for the period from December 29, 2016 through December 29, 2017.  With respect to the second tranche, the hurdle price was $31.34 for the period from December 29, 2010 through December 29, 2016; and $34.83 for the period from December 29, 2016 through December 29, 2017. With respect to the third tranche, the hurdle price was $34.83 for the period from December 29, 2010 through December 29, 2017.

 

The Company’s Compensation Committee approved amending the hurdle prices as follows:

 

With respect to the first tranche, the applicable hurdle price is $16.43 for the period from December 29, 2010 through December 28, 2015; $18.58 for the period from December 29, 2015 through December 28, 2016; and $20.77 for the period from December 29, 2016 through December 28, 2017. With respect to the second tranche, the hurdle price is $18.58 for the period from December 29, 2010 through December 28, 2016; and $20.77 for the period from December 29, 2016 through December 28, 2017. With respect to the third tranche, the hurdle price is $20.77 for the period from December 29, 2010 through December 28, 2017.

 

Except as modified by this amendment, all other terms and conditions of each of the outstanding performance-based stock options, including the option exercise price of $13.93 per share, remain in full force and effect.

 

The incremental expense resulting from the modification was calculated as the difference between the stock option’s fair value immediately before and after the modification using the Hull-White option pricing model and the following weighted-average assumptions:

 

Assumptions:

 

 

 

Dividend yield

 

3.72%

 

Expected life

 

7.8 years

 

Expected volatility

 

28.45% - 32.84%

6.  Discontinued Operations

 

On August 31, 2011, the Company sold customer lists and certain fixed assets of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Northeast Bank Insurance Group, Inc. (“NBIG”), to local insurance agencies in two separate transactions.  The Varney Agency, Inc. of Bangor, Maine, purchased the assets of nine NBIG offices in Anson, Auburn, Augusta, Bethel, Livermore Falls, Scarborough, South Paris, Thomaston and Turner, Maine.  The NBIG office in Berwick, Maine, which operates under the name of Spence & Matthews, was acquired by Bradley Scott, previously a member of NBIG’s senior management team.  The following is a summary of the sale transactions recorded during the nine months ended March 31, 2012 (dollars in thousands).

8.  Fair Value Measurements

 

Fair value is a market-based measure considered from the perspective of a market participant rather than an entity-specific measure. Therefore, even when market assumptions are not readily available, the Company’s own assumptions are set to reflect those that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. If there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability, regardless of the valuation technique(s) used, the objective of a fair value measurement remains the same. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. The Company uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date, including during periods of market dislocation. In periods of market dislocation, the observability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many instruments. This condition could cause an instrument to be reclassified from one level to another.

 

ASC 820 defines fair value and establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820 are described below:

 

Level 1 — Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

 

Level 2 — Valuations based on 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 — Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

 

To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by the Company in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 

Valuation techniques - There have been no changes in the valuation techniques used during the current period.

 

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis:

 

Available-for-sale securities - Where quoted prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Examples of such instruments include publicly-traded common and preferred stocks. If quoted prices are not available, then fair values are estimated by using pricing models (i.e., matrix pricing) and market interest rates and credit assumptions or quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics and are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy. Examples of such instruments include government agency and government sponsored agency mortgage-backed securities, as well as certain preferred and trust preferred stocks. Level 3 securities are securities for which significant unobservable inputs are utilized.

 

Derivative financial instruments - The valuation of the Company’s interest rate swaps and caps are determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analyses on the expected cash flows of derivatives. These analyses reflect the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and use observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. Unobservable inputs, such as credit valuation adjustments are insignificant to the overall valuation of the Company’s derivative financial instruments. Accordingly, the Company has determined that its interest rate derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

The fair value of derivative loan commitments and forward loan sale agreements are estimated using the anticipated market price based on pricing indications provided from syndicate banks. These commitments and agreements are categorized as Level 2.  The fair value of such instruments was nominal at each date presented.

 

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis:

 

Impaired Loans - Valuations of impaired loans measured at fair value are determined by a review of collateral values.  Certain inputs used in appraisals are not always observable, and therefore impaired loans are generally categorized as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.

 

Real Estate Owned and Other Repossessed collateral - The fair values of real estate owned and other repossessed collateral are estimated based upon appraised values less estimated costs to sell. Certain inputs used in appraisals are not always observable, and therefore may be categorized as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. When inputs used in appraisals are primarily observable, they are classified as Level 2.

 

Fair Value of other Financial Instruments:

 

Cash and cash equivalents - The fair value of cash, due from banks, interest bearing deposits and FHLB overnight deposits approximates their relative book values, as these financial instruments have short maturities.

 

26



Table of Contents

 

FHLB and Federal Reserve stock - The carrying value of FHLB stock and Federal Reserve stock approximates fair value based on redemption provisions of the FHLB and the Federal Reserve.

 

Loans - Fair values are estimated for portfolios of loans with similar financial characteristics. The fair value of performing loans is calculated by discounting scheduled cash flows through the estimated maturity using estimated market discount rates that reflect the credit and interest rate risk inherent in the loan. The estimates of maturity are based on the Company’s historical experience with repayments for each loan classification, modified, as required, by an estimate of the effect of current economic conditions, lending conditions and the effects of estimated prepayments.

 

Loans held for sale - The fair value of loans held-for-sale is estimated based on bid quotations received from loan dealers.

 

Interest receivable - The fair value of this financial instrument approximates the book value as this financial instrument has a short maturity. It is the Company’s policy to stop accruing interest on loans past due by more than 90 days. Therefore, this financial instrument has been adjusted for estimated credit loss.

 

Deposits - The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as noninterest-bearing demand deposits, savings, NOW accounts and money market accounts, is equal to the amount payable on demand. The fair values of time deposits are based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows.  The discount rate is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities. The fair value estimates do not include the benefit that results from the low-cost funding provided by the deposit liabilities compared to the cost of borrowing funds in the market. If that value were considered, the fair value of the Company’s net assets could increase.

 

Borrowings - The fair value of the Company’s borrowings with the FHLB is estimated by discounting the cash flows through maturity or the next repricing date based on current rates available to the Company for borrowings with similar maturities. The fair value of the Company’s short-term borrowings, capital lease obligations, structured repurchase agreements and other borrowings is estimated by discounting the cash flows through maturity based on current rates available to the Company for borrowings with similar maturities.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Credit-Related Instruments - Fair values for off-balance-sheet, credit-related financial instruments are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the counterparties’ credit standing. The fair value of such instruments was nominal at each date presented.

9.  Derivatives and Hedging Activities

 

The Company has stand alone derivative financial instruments in the form of interest rate caps that derive their value from a fee paid and are adjusted to fair value based on index and strike rate, and a swap agreement that derives its value from the underlying interest rate. These transactions involve both credit and market risk. The notional amounts are amounts on which calculations, payments and the value of the derivative are based. Notional amounts do not represent direct credit exposures. Direct credit exposure is limited to the net difference between the calculated amounts to be received and paid, if any. Such differences, which represent the fair value of the derivative instruments, are recognized as derivative assets and derivative liabilities.

 

The Company is exposed to credit-related losses in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties to these agreements. The Company controls the credit risk of its financial contracts through credit approvals, limits and monitoring procedures, and does not expect any counterparties to fail their obligations. Institutional counterparties must have an investment grade credit rating and be approved by the Company’s Board of Directors.  The Company deals only with primary dealers.  The Company’s credit exposure on interest rate swaps is limited to the net positive fair value and accrued interest of all swaps with each counterparty.

 

The Company currently holds derivative instruments that contain credit-risk related features that are in a net liability position, which may require that collateral be assigned to dealer banks.  At March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2012, the Company had cash totaling $800 thousand in a margin account with the dealer bank associated with its interest rate swap; no additional collateral was necessary at these dates to immediately settle the interest rate swap.

 

The Company does not offset fair value amounts recognized for derivative instruments.  The Company does not net the amount recognized for the right to reclaim cash collateral against the obligation to return cash collateral arising from derivative instruments executed with the same counterparty under a master netting arrangement.

 

Risk Management Policies — Hedging Instruments

 

The Company evaluates the effectiveness of entering into any derivative instrument agreement by measuring the cost of such an agreement in relation to the reduction in net income volatility within an assumed range of interest rates.

 

Interest Rate Risk Management — Cash Flow Hedging Instruments

 

The Company uses long-term variable rate debt as a source of funds for use in the Company’s lending and investment activities and other general business purposes. These debt obligations expose the Company to variability in interest payments due to changes in interest rates. If interest rates increase, interest expense increases. Conversely, if interest rates decrease, interest expense decreases. Management believes it is prudent to limit the variability of a portion of its interest payments and, therefore, generally hedges a portion of its variable-rate interest payments. To meet this objective, management entered into interest rate caps whereby the Company receives variable interest payments above a specified interest rate and swap agreements whereby the Company receives variable interest rate payments and makes fixed interest rate payments during the contract period.

 

The Company holds two interest rate caps that expire on September 30, 2014. The swap agreement provides for the Company to receive payments at a variable rate determined by a specified index (three month LIBOR) in exchange for making payments at a fixed rate.

 

Information pertaining to outstanding interest rate caps and swap agreements used to hedge variable rate debt is as follows.

 

During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, no interest rate cap or swap agreements were terminated prior to maturity. Changes in the fair value of interest rate caps and swaps designated as hedging instruments of the variability of cash flows associated with long-term debt are reported in other comprehensive income. These amounts subsequently are reclassified into interest expense as a yield adjustment in the same period in which the related interest on the long-term debt affects earnings. Risk management results for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 related to the balance sheet hedging of long-term debt indicates that the hedges were effective.

 

The table below presents amounts recognized in income related to both hedge ineffectiveness and amounts excluded from effectiveness testing.

11.  Stockholders’ Equity

 

Troubled Asset Relief Capital Purchase Program

 

During the quarter ended December 31, 2012, the Company paid $4.2 million to redeem, at par value, all shares of preferred stock issued to the U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “UST”) under the Troubled Asset Relief Program (“TARP”).  The Company also repurchased the warrant for 67,958 shares of common stock issued to the UST in connection with TARP for $95 thousand during the quarter ended December 31, 2012.

 

Authorized Shares

 

At the 2012 annual meeting of shareholders held on November 28, 2012, the Company’s shareholders approved an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended. The Amendment increased (i) the authorized shares of voting common stock, par value $1.00 per share, from 13,500,000 to 25,000,000 shares, and (ii) the authorized shares of non-voting common stock, par value $1.00 per share, from 1,500,000 to 3,000,000 shares. As a result, the total number of authorized shares of all classes of stock, including 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, increased from 16,000,000 to 29,000,000 shares.

12.       Commitments and Contingencies

 

Commitments

 

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 and to reduce its own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The contract amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has 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 and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual 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.

 

Financial instruments with contract amounts which represent credit risk are as follows:

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counter party. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, and income-producing commercial properties.

 

Contingencies

 

The Company and its subsidiary are parties to litigation and claims arising in the normal course of business. Management believes that the liabilities, if any, arising from such litigation and claims will not be material to the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

 

In August 2011, the Bank received a summons and complaint in TSM Properties, LLC v. Northeast Bank and Daniel G. Thompson, Docket No. BCD-CV-12-10, State of Maine Superior Court Business and Consumer Docket sitting in Portland, Cumberland County, Maine, in connection with a dispute regarding transfers of money that involves the Bank. Damages sought include $2.2 million and additional unspecified amounts.  The Bank intends to vigorously defend against these claims.  While it is not feasible to predict or determine the outcome of these proceedings, the Company believes that a loss resulting from an adverse outcome to this matter is reasonably possible, though the amount of the loss is not determinable at this time.  As such, the Company has not established a reserve against potential damages arising from this matter.

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

 

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, notes and tables included in Northeast Bancorp’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

A Note about Forward Looking Statements

 

This report contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, such as statements relating to the Company’s financial condition, prospective results of operations, future performance or expectations, plans, objectives, prospects, loan loss allowance adequacy, simulation of changes in interest rates, capital spending and finance sources and revenue sources. These statements relate to expectations concerning matters that are not historical facts. Accordingly, statements that are based on management’s projections, estimates, assumptions, and judgments constitute forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements, which are based on various assumptions (some of which are beyond the Company’s control), may be identified by reference to a future period or periods, or by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “believe”, “expect”, “estimate”, “anticipate”, “continue”, “plan”, “approximately”, “intend”, “objective”, “goal”, “project”, or other similar terms or variations on those terms, or the future or conditional verbs such as “will”, “may”, “should”, “could”, and “would”.  Although the Company believes that these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable estimates and assumptions, they are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, contingencies, and other factors. Accordingly, the Company cannot give you any assurance that its expectations will, in fact, occur or that its estimates or assumptions will be correct. The Company cautions you that actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements as a result of, among other factors, changes in interest rates and real estate values; competitive pressures from other financial institutions; the effects of a continuing deterioration in general economic conditions on a national basis or in the local markets in which the Company operates, including changes which adversely affect borrowers’ ability to service and repay the Company’s loans; changes in loan defaults and charge-off rates; changes in the value of securities and other assets, adequacy of loan loss reserves, or deposit levels necessitating increased borrowing to fund loans and investments; changes in government regulation; the risk that the Company may not be successful in the implementation of its business strategy; the risk that intangibles recorded in the Company’s financial statements will become impaired; changes in assumptions used in making such forward-looking statements; and the other risks and uncertainties detailed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 as updated in the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other filings submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report and the Company does not undertake any obligation to update or revise any of these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this report or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

 

Description of Business and Strategy

 

Business Overview

 

Northeast Bancorp (“we,” “our,” “us,” “Northeast” or the “Company”), a Maine corporation chartered in April 1987, is a bank holding company registered with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (“Federal Reserve”) under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. The Company’s primary subsidiary and principal asset is its wholly-owned banking subsidiary, Northeast Bank (the “Bank” or “Northeast Bank”). The Bank, which was originally organized in 1872 as a Maine-chartered mutual savings bank and was formerly known as Bethel Savings Bank F.S.B., is a Maine state-chartered bank and a member of the Federal Reserve System. As such, the Company and the Bank are currently subject to the regulatory oversight of the Federal Reserve and the State of Maine Bureau of Financial Institutions (the “Bureau”).

 

On December 29, 2010, the merger of the Company and FHB Formation LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“FHB”), was consummated. As a result of the merger, the surviving company received a capital contribution of $16.2 million (in addition to the approximately $13.1 million in cash consideration paid to former shareholders), and the former members of FHB collectively acquired approximately 60% of the Company’s outstanding common stock. The Company applied the acquisition method of accounting, as described in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”) to the merger, which represents an acquisition by FHB of Northeast, with Northeast as the surviving company.

 

In connection with the transaction, as part of the regulatory approval process, the Company and the Bank made certain commitments to the Federal Reserve and the Bureau, the most significant of which are (i) to maintain a Tier 1 leverage ratio of at least 10%, (ii) to maintain a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 15%, (iii) to limit purchased loans to 40% of total loans, (iv) to fund 100% of the Company’s loans with core deposits (defined as non-maturity deposits and non-brokered insured time deposits), and (v) to hold commercial real estate loans (including owner-occupied commercial real estate) to within 300% of total risk-based capital. The Company and the Bank are currently in compliance with all commitments to the Federal Reserve and the Bureau.

 

As of March 31, 2013, the Company, on a consolidated basis, had total assets of $699.6 million, total deposits of $505.6 million, and stockholders’ equity of $115.7 million. The Company gathers retail deposits through its Community Banking Division’s banking offices in Maine and through its online affinity deposit program, ableBanking; originates loans through its Community Banking Division; and purchases primarily performing commercial real estate loans at a discount and, to a lesser extent, originates commercial loans through the

Table of Contents

 

Bank’s Loan Acquisition and Servicing Group (“LASG”). The Company operates the Community Banking Division from Lewiston, Maine, which operates ten full-service branches, some with investment centers, and five loan production offices that serve individuals and businesses located in western and south-central Maine, southern New Hampshire, and southeastern Massachusetts. The Company operates ableBanking and the LASG from its offices in Boston, Massachusetts.

 

In August of 2011, the Company sold the customer lists and certain other assets of its insurance agency division, Northeast Bank Insurance Group (“NBIG”). The operations of NBIG have been reported as discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements and in the discussion herein.

 

In May of 2012, the Company raised net proceeds of $52.7 million through the sale of shares of its common stock.

 

During the quarter ended December 31, 2012, the Company redeemed, at par value, all shares of preferred stock issued to the U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “UST”) under the Troubled Asset Relief Program (“TARP”).  The Company also repurchased the warrant for 67,958 shares of common stock issued to the UST in connection with TARP for $95 thousand during the quarter ended December 31, 2012.

 

Unless the context otherwise requires, references herein to the Company include the Company and its subsidiary, the Bank, on a consolidated basis.

 

Strategy

 

The Company’s goal is to prudently grow its franchise, while maintaining sound operations and risk management, by implementing the following strategies:

 

Measured growth of the purchased loan portfolio. The LASG purchases primarily performing commercial real estate loans, on a nationwide basis, at a discount from their outstanding principal balances, producing yields higher than those normally achieved on our originated loan portfolio. To a lesser extent, the LASG originates commercial loans opportunistically on a nationwide basis.

 

Loans are purchased on a nationwide basis from a variety of sources, including banks, insurance companies, investment funds and government agencies, either directly or indirectly through a broker. We expect that loans purchased by the LASG will, subject to compliance with applicable regulatory commitments, represent an increasing percentage of our total loan portfolio in the future.

 

Focus on core deposits. The Bank offers a full line of deposit products to customers in the Community Banking Division’s market area through its ten-branch network. In addition, we launched our online affinity deposit program, ableBanking, a division of Northeast Bank, to the public in the quarter ended June 30, 2012. One of the Company’s strategic goals is for ableBanking to provide an additional channel through which to raise core deposits to fund the acquisition of loans by the LASG.

 

Continuing our community banking tradition. The Community Banking Division retains a high degree of local autonomy and operational flexibility to better serve its customers. The Community Banking Division’s focus on sales and service is expected to allow us to attract and retain core deposits in support of balance sheet growth, and to continue to generate new loans, particularly through the efforts of the residential mortgage origination team.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Critical accounting policies are those that involve significant judgments and assessments by management, and which could potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. The reader is encouraged to review each of the policies included in Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2012 to gain a better understanding of how Northeast’s financial performance is measured and reported.  There has been no material change in critical accounting policies during the nine months ended March 31, 2013.

Overview

 

Net income was $1.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, compared to $168 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2012.  Net income for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 was $4.2 million, compared to $1.1 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2012.  Net income for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 included $1.1 million from discontinued operations.

 

Net income available to common stockholders was $1.7 million, or $0.16 per diluted common share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, compared to $70 thousand, or $0.02 per diluted common share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2012.  Net income available to common stockholders for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 was $3.9 million, or $0.37 per diluted common share, compared to $821 thousand, or $0.23 per diluted common share, for the nine months ended March 31, 2012.  Weighted average shares outstanding increased to 10.4 million shares in each of the current year periods from 3.5 million shares in the Fiscal 2012 periods principally as a result of the Company’s public offering of common stock in May 2012.

 

Net interest and dividend income increased by $3.5 million, or 73.6%, to $8.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2012, principally due to growth in the purchased loan portfolio.  This result is evident in the net interest margin, which increased to 5.07% for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, compared to 3.44% for the quarter ended March 31, 2012.

 

Noninterest income increased by $653 thousand, or 23.8%, to 3.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2012, principally due to gains of $1.2 million from sales of LASG-purchased loans partially offset by lower security gains of $731 thousand.

 

Noninterest expense increased by $1.6 million, or 22.1%, to $8.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2012, principally due to an increase of $1.2 million in employee compensation resulting from higher incentive compensation and staffing levels.

Financial Condition

 

Overview

 

Total assets increased by $30.4 million, or 4.5%, to $699.6 million at March 31, 2013, compared to June 30, 2012. The principal components of the change in the balance sheet were as follows:

 

1.              The loan portfolio grew by $24.1 million, or 6.8%, principally due to net growth of $58.9 million in commercial loans purchased or originated by the LASG, offset by net amortization and payoffs of $34.8 million in the Community Banking Division loan portfolio.

 

2.              Deposits increased by $83.4 million, or 19.8%, due primarily to a $68.0 million increase in deposits raised through ableBanking.  At March 31, 2013, ableBanking deposits stood at $70.8 million, consisting of $37.2 million of time deposits and $33.5 million of money market accounts.

 

3.              Borrowings decreased by $49.9 million, or 41.2%, as a result of the repayment at maturity of structured repurchase agreements and FHLB advances.

 

4.              Stockholders’ equity decreased by $3.4 million, or 2.9%, primarily due to the redemption of TARP preferred stock and warrants totaling $4.3 million in the quarter ended December 31, 2012.

 

Assets

 

Cash, Short-term Investments and Securities

 

Cash and short-term investments were $142.6 million as of March 31, 2013, an increase of $14.3 million, or 11.1%, from $128.3 million at June 30, 2012. This increase is principally due to deposit growth of $83.4 million, offset by the result of the following: (i) net loan growth of $24.1 million, (ii) net reduction in borrowed funds of $49.9 million, and (iii) a net reduction in stockholders’ equity of $3.4 million, principally due to the redemption of TARP preferred stock and warrants.

 

Available-for-sale securities, consisting of securities issued by government agencies and government-sponsored enterprises, totaled $128.5 million as of March 31, 2013. At March 31, 2013, securities with a fair value of $50.2 million were pledged for outstanding borrowings.

 

Loan Portfolio

 

Total loans, excluding loans held for sale, amounted to $380.3 million as of March 31, 2013, an increase of $24.1 million, or 6.8%, from $356.3 million as of June 30, 2012. The increase consisted of growth in the purchased loan portfolio of $46.0 million, partially offset by a $21.9 million decrease in originated loans.  The net decrease in originated loans consisted of a $34.8 million decrease in loans originated by the Community Banking Division and a net increase of $12.9 million of LASG-originated commercial loans.  The decrease in Community Banking Division loans was principally due to net runoff in residential and commercial real estate loan portfolios.

Compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2012, the Bank’s LASG loan portfolio declined $1.3 million, reflecting purchases and originations of $11.3 million and $2.8 million, respectively, offset by loan payoffs and asset sales totaling $15.4 million.  Loan payoffs and asset sales during the quarter ended March 31, 2013 resulted in $4.1 million of transactional income, compared to $1.9 million in the quarter ended December 31, 2012 and $493 thousand in the quarter ended March 31, 2012.

 

Loan purchases by the LASG are subject to two regulatory conditions, which are summarized below, together with the remaining purchasing capacity available under each of these conditions:

To increase its capacity under the “Total Loans” regulatory condition, the Company is currently holding in its portfolio, as necessary and on a duration—matched basis, residential fixed and adjustable rate loans that would otherwise be sold in the secondary market. The Company estimates that it will retain in portfolio approximately 75% of its future quarterly residential mortgage production. Total mortgage loan production over the past four quarters has averaged $36 million.

Classification of Assets

 

Loans are classified as non-performing when 90 days past due, unless a loan is well-secured and in process of collection. Loans less than 90 days past due, for which collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful, also may be designated as non-performing. In both situations, accrual of interest ceases.  The Company typically maintains such loans as non-performing until the respective borrowers have demonstrated a sustained period of payment performance.

 

In cases where a borrower experiences financial difficulties and the Company makes certain concessionary modifications to contractual terms, the loan is classified as a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”).  Concessionary modifications may include adjustments to interest rates, extensions of maturity, or other actions intended to minimize economic loss and avoid foreclosure or repossession of collateral. Nonaccrual loans that are restructured generally remain on nonaccrual for a minimum period of six months to demonstrate that the borrower can meet the restructured terms.  If the restructured loan is on accrual status prior to being modified, it is reviewed to determine if the modified loan should remain on accrual status. If the borrower’s ability to meet the revised payment schedule is not reasonably assured, the loan is classified as a nonaccrual loan. Loans classified as TDRs remain classified as such until the loan is paid off.

 

Other nonperforming assets include other real estate owned (“OREO”) and other personal property securing loans repossessed by the Bank.  The real estate and personal property collateral for commercial and consumer loans is written down to its estimated realizable value upon repossession.  Revenues and expenses are recognized in the period when received or incurred on OREO and in substance foreclosures.  Gains and losses on disposition are recognized in noninterest income.

The following table details the Company’s nonperforming assets and other credit quality indicators as of March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2012.  The net increase in nonperforming assets during the nine months ended March 31, 2013 was principally due to a net increase in nonperforming LASG loans of $645 thousand.  Management believes that, based on their carrying amounts, nonperforming assets are well secured based on the estimated fair value of underlying collateral.

Allowance for Loan Losses

 

In connection with the application of the acquisition method of accounting for the merger with FHB on December 29, 2010, the allowance for loan losses was reduced to zero when the loan portfolio was marked to its then fair value.  Since that date, the Company has provided for an allowance for loan losses as new loans are originated or in the event that credit exposure in the pre-merger loan portfolio or other acquired loans exceeds the exposure estimated when initial fair values were determined.

 

The Company’s allowance for loan losses was $1.0 million as of March 31, 2013, which represents an increase of $209 thousand from $824 thousand as of June 30, 2012.  The increase during the nine months ended March 31, 2013 was principally due to an increase in specific reserves on TDRs.

 

The following table details ratios related to the allowance for loan losses for the periods indicated.

While management believes that it uses the best information available to make its determinations with respect to the allowance, there can be no assurance that the Company will not have to increase its provision for loan losses in the future as a result of changing economic conditions, adverse markets for real estate or other factors.

 

Other Assets

 

The cash surrender value of the Company’s bank-owned life insurance (“BOLI”) assets decreased $29 thousand, or 0.2%, to $14.3 million at March 31, 2013 as compared to June 30, 2012. The decrease during the period represents earnings of $599 thousand, offset by death benefit proceeds received of $628 thousand.  Increases in cash surrender value are recognized in other income and are not subject to income taxes.  Borrowing on or surrendering a policy may subject the Company to income tax expense on the increase in cash surrender value.  For these reasons, management considers BOLI an illiquid asset. BOLI represented 11.6% of the Company’s total risk-based capital at March 31, 2013.

 

Intangible assets totaled $3.8 million and $4.5 million at March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2012, respectively. The $736 thousand decrease was the result of core deposit intangible asset amortization during the period.

 

Deposits, Borrowed Funds, Capital Resources and Liquidity

 

Deposits

 

The Company’s principal source of funding is its core deposit accounts. At March 31, 2013, non-maturity accounts and certificates of deposit with balances less than $250 thousand represented 98.5% of total deposits.

 

Total deposits increased $83.4 million to $505.6 million as of March 31, 2013 from $422.2 million as of June 30, 2012. The increase was the result of a $68.0 million increase in deposits raised through ableBanking, the Bank’s online affinity deposit platform.  The composition of total deposits at March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2012 follows.

Borrowed Funds

 

Advances from the FHLB were $33.1 million and $43.5 million at March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2012, the reduction principally the result of $10.0 million in maturing advances repaid during the period.  At March 31, 2013, the Company had pledged investment securities with a fair value of $18.3 million, as well as certain residential real estate loans, commercial real estate loans, and FHLB deposits free of liens or pledges to secure outstanding advances and available additional borrowing capacity.

 

Structured repurchase agreements were $25.5 million and $66.2 million at March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2012, respectively. During the nine months ended March 31, 2013, the Company repaid at maturity structured repurchase agreements totaling $40.0 million.  At March

Table of Contents

 

31, 2013, the Company had pledged investment securities with a fair value of $28.9 million as collateral for outstanding structured repurchase agreements.

 

Short-term borrowings, consisting of sweep accounts and repurchase agreements, were $2.4 million and $1.2 million as of March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2012, respectively.  At March 31, 2013, short term borrowings were secured by a letter of credit issued by the FHLB totaling $2.0 million and an investment security with a fair value of $3.0 million.

Retail deposits and other core deposit sources including deposit listing services are used by the Company to manage its overall liquidity position. While the Company currently does not seek wholesale funding such as FHLB advances and brokered deposits, the ability to raise them remains an important part of its liquidity contingency planning. While management closely monitors and forecasts the Company’s liquidity position, it is affected by asset growth, deposit withdrawals and other contractual obligations and commitments. The accuracy of management’s forecast assumptions may increase or decrease the Company’s overall available liquidity.

 

At March 31, 2013, the Company had $266.5 million of immediately accessible liquidity, defined as cash that could be raised within seven days through collateralized borrowings, brokered deposits or security sales. This position represented 38.1% of total assets.  The Company also had $142.6 million of cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2013. This relatively high level of short-term liquidity is intended, in part, for future purchases of commercial loans by the LASG.

 

Management believes that there are adequate funding sources to meet its liquidity needs for the foreseeable future. Primary funding sources are the repayment of principal and interest on loans, the renewal of time deposits, the potential growth in the deposit base, and the credit availability from the FHLB and the Federal Reserve’s Borrower-in-Custody program.  Management does not believe that the terms and conditions that will be present at the renewal of these funding sources will significantly impact the Company’s operations, due to its management of the maturities of its assets and liabilities.

 

Capital

 

The carrying amount and unpaid principal balance of junior subordinated debentures totaled $8.2 million and $16.5 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2013. This debt represents qualifying Tier 1 capital for the Company, up to a maximum of 25% of total Tier 1 capital.  At March 31, 2013, the carrying amounts of the junior subordinated notes, net of the Company’s $496 thousand investment in the affiliated trusts, qualified as Tier 1 capital.

 

Total stockholders’ equity was $115.7 million and $119.1 million at March 31, 2013 and June 30, 2012, respectively. The change reflects net income for the period, repayment of TARP preferred stock and warrants, dividends paid, and other comprehensive loss during the period.  Book value per outstanding common share was $11.08 at March 31, 2013 and $11.07 at June 30, 2012.  Tier 1 capital to total average assets of the Company was 17.41% as of March 31, 2013 and 19.91% at June 30, 2012.

 

In addition to the risk-based capital requirements, the Federal Reserve requires top-rated bank holding companies to maintain a minimum leverage capital ratio of Tier 1 capital (defined by reference to the risk-based capital guidelines) to its average total consolidated assets of at least 3.0%. For most other bank holding companies (including the Company), the minimum leverage capital ratio is 4.0%. Bank holding companies with supervisory, financial, operational or managerial weaknesses, as well as bank holding companies that are anticipating or experiencing significant growth, are expected to maintain capital ratios well above the minimum levels.

 

The Federal Reserve’s capital adequacy standards also apply to state-chartered banks that are members of the Federal Reserve System, such as the Bank. Moreover, the Federal Reserve has promulgated corresponding regulations to implement the system of prompt corrective action established by Section 38 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act. Under these regulations, a bank is “well capitalized” if it has: (i) a total risk-based capital ratio of 10.0% or greater; (ii) a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6.0% or greater; (iii) a leverage capital ratio of 5.0% or greater; and (iv) is not subject to any written agreement, order, capital directive or prompt corrective action directive to meet and maintain a specific capital level for any capital measure. A bank is “adequately capitalized” if it has: (1) a total risk-based capital ratio of 8.0% or greater; (2) a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 4.0% or greater; and (3) a leverage capital ratio of 4.0% or greater (3.0% under certain circumstances) and does not meet the definition of a “well capitalized bank.”

 

The Federal Reserve also must take into consideration: (i) concentrations of credit risk; (ii) interest rate risk; and (iii) risks from non-traditional activities, as well as an institution’s ability to manage those risks when determining the adequacy of an institution’s capital. This evaluation will be made as a part of the institution’s regular safety and soundness examination. The Bank is currently considered well-capitalized under all regulatory definitions.

Further, the Bank and the Company are subject to capital commitments with the Federal Reserve and the Bureau that require higher minimum capital ratios. These commitments require that the Company and the Bank (i) maintain a Tier 1 leverage ratio of at least 10%, (ii) maintain a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 15%,  The Bank and the Company were in compliance with these commitments at March 31, 2013.

Off-balance Sheet 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, unused lines of credit and standby letters of credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest-rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The contract or notional amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of the Company’s involvement in particular classes of financial instruments.

 

See Part I. Item I. “Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements — Note 12:  Commitments and Contingencies” for further discussion.

General

 

Net income was $1.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, compared to $154 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2012.  Net income for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 was $4.2 million, compared to a net loss of $22 thousand for the nine months ended March 31, 2012.

 

In both the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2013, higher average balances in the Company’s purchased loan portfolio and transactional income from unscheduled loan payoffs and asset sales contributed significantly to increased net interest income and overall earnings, compared to the same periods in Fiscal 2012.  Increases in both net interest income and noninterest income in the current year periods were partially offset by higher levels of noninterest expense, principally due to increased employee headcount, incentive compensation, and other operating expenses associated with implementation of the Company’s business strategy over the past twelve months.

 

The following table details the “total return” on purchased loans, which includes transactional income of $4.1 million for the quarter and $7.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2013.  This compares to transactional income of $493 thousand and $975 for the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2012, respectively.

Net Interest Income

 

Three Months Ended March 31, 2013 and 2012

 

Net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was $8.3 million and $4.8 million, respectively.  The increase of $3.5 million was largely attributable to growth in the LASG loan portfolio, which earned an average yield of 16.8% for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 on an average outstanding balance of $146.2 million.  The following table summarizes interest income and related yields recognized on the Company’s loans.

In the quarter ended March 31, 2013, net interest income was negatively affected by a lower level of noncash accretion of fair value adjustments resulting from the merger than in the comparable Fiscal 2012 quarter.  The effect of such accretion will continue to diminish as financial instruments held at the merger mature or prepay.  The following table summarizes the effects of such accretion.

(1)         Interest income and yield are stated on a fully tax-equivalent basis using a 34% tax rate.

(2)         Includes loans held for sale.

(3)         Nonaccrual loans are included in the computation of average, but unpaid interest has not been included for purposes of determining interest income.

(4)         Short term investments include FRB reserves, FHLB Ideal Way and other interest-bearing deposits.

(5)         The effect of interest-bearing liabilities associated with discontinued operations has been excluded from the calculation of average rates paid, interest rate spread, and net interest margin.

(6)         Net interest margin is calculated as net interest income divided by total interest-earning assets.

Table of Contents

 

The following table presents the extent to which changes in volume and interest rates of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities have affected the Company’s interest income and interest expense during the periods indicated. Information is provided in each category with respect to (i) changes attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior period rate), (ii) changes attributable to changes in rates (changes in rates multiplied by prior period volume) and (iii) changes attributable to a combination of changes in rate and volume (change in rates multiplied by the changes in volume).  Changes attributable to the combined impact of volume and rate have been allocated proportionately to the changes due to volume and the changes due to rate.

Table of Contents

 

The following table presents the extent to which changes in volume and interest rates of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities have affected the Company’s interest income and interest expense during the periods indicated. Information is provided in each category with respect to (i) changes attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior period rate), (ii) changes attributable to changes in rates (changes in rates multiplied by prior period volume) and (iii) changes attributable to a combination of changes in rate and volume (change in rates multiplied by the changes in volume).  Changes attributable to the combined impact of volume and rate have been allocated proportionately to the changes due to volume and the changes due to rate.

Provision for Loan Losses

 

Quarterly, the Company determines the amount of the allowance for loan losses that is adequate to provide for losses inherent in the Company’s loan portfolios, with the provision for loan losses determined by the net change in the allowance for loan losses.  For loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality, a provision for loan losses is recorded when estimates of future cash flows are lower than had been previously expected (i.e., there are reduced expected cash flows as a result of credit deterioration or higher net charge-offs than had been previously expected, requiring additional provision for loan losses). See Part I. Item I. “Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements — Note 4:  Loans, Allowance for Loan losses and Credit Quality” for further discussion.

 

The provision for loan losses for periods subsequent to the merger reflects the impact of adjusting loans to their then fair values, as well as the elimination of the allowance for loan losses in accordance with the acquisition method of accounting. Subsequent to the merger, the provision for loan losses has been recorded based on estimates of inherent losses in newly originated loans and for incremental reserves required for pre-merger loans based on estimates of deteriorated credit quality post-merger.

 

Three Months Ended March 31, 2013 and 2012

 

The provision for loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was $346 thousand and $100 thousand, respectively.  The $246 thousand increase was principally due to higher net charge-offs and specific provisions required on impaired residential loans during the quarter ended March 31, 2013.  Net charge-offs were $188 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $89 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2012, an increase principally due to charge-offs in the Company’s residential and commercial real estate portfolios.

 

Nine Months Ended March 31, 2013 and 2012

 

The provision for loan losses for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was $821 thousand and $634 thousand, respectively.  The $187 thousand increase was principally due to higher net charge-offs and specific provisions required on impaired residential loans during the nine months ended March 31, 2013.  Net charge-offs were $612 thousand for the nine months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $323 thousand for the nine months ended March 31, 2012, an increase principally due to charge-offs in the Company’s residential and commercial business portfolios.

 

Noninterest Income

 

Three Months Ended March 31, 2013 and 2012

 

Noninterest income totaled $3.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, an increase of $653 thousand, or 23.8%.  The primary components of this change included the following:

 

·                  Customer fee income totaled $430 thousand for the quarter, an increase of $104 thousand, or 31.9%, compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2012, the result of increased loan servicing fees associated with Fiscal 2013 LASG loan purchases.

 

50



Table of Contents

 

·                  No securities gains were realized during the quarter ended March 31, 2013, as compared to gains of $731 thousand realized for the quarter ended March 31, 2012.

 

·                  Net gains on the sale of portfolio loans were $1.2 million for the quarter, an increase of $1.0 million compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2012, an increase principally resulting from the gain recognized on sale of one LASG purchased loan.

 

·                  Net gains recognized on real estate owned and other repossessed collateral were $230 thousand for the quarter, compared to a net loss of $24 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2012, an increase principally resulting from a $211 thousand gain realized on the sale of real estate previously securing an LASG purchased loan.

 

Nine Months Ended March 31, 2013 and 2012

 

Noninterest income totaled $10.1 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $7.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2012, an increase of $2.9 million.  The primary components of this change included the following:

 

·                  Customer fee income totaled $1.2 million for the quarter, an increase of $166 thousand, or 16.0%, compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2012, the result of increased loan servicing fees associated with Fiscal 2013 LASG loan purchases.

 

·                  Net securities gains totaled $792 thousand for the nine months ended March 31, 2013, a decrease of $319 thousand compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2012.  Decreases in security gains resulted from the sale of a substantial portion of the Company’s available-for-sale investment portfolio during Fiscal 2012. The Company reinvested the sales proceeds in government guaranteed mortgage-backed securities similar in composition to the securities sold, albeit at lower market yields.

 

·                  Net gains realized on the sale of residential mortgage loans in the secondary market were $2.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2013, an increase of $235 thousand, or 11.4%, compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2012.

 

·                  Net gains on the sale of portfolio loans were $2.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2013, an increase of $1.8 million compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2012, an increase principally resulting from $2.0 million in gains recognized on LASG purchased loan sales.

 

·                  Net gains recognized on real estate owned and other repossessed collateral were $681 thousand for the nine months ended March 31, 2013, compared to net gains of $11 thousand for the nine months ended March 31, 2012, an increase principally resulting from $684 thousand realized on the sale of two properties previously securing LASG purchased loans.

 

·                  Bank-owned life insurance income totaled $599 thousand for the nine months ended March 31, 2013, an increase of $222 thousand compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2012, the result of life insurance death benefits received.

 

Noninterest Expense

 

Three Months Ended March 31, 2013 and 2012

 

Noninterest expense totaled $8.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $7.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, an increase of $1.6 million, principally due to the following:

 

·                  An increase of $1.2 million in employee compensation, due mainly to $703 thousand in additional incentive compensation, as well as increases in staffing and  the cost of employee benefits programs. Full-time equivalent employees increased by 26 over the past twelve months, as the Company has added staff to several operational areas and the LASG.

 

·                  An increase of $288 thousand in occupancy and equipment expense, principally due to increased rent associated with the relocation of the Company’s office in Boston, MA, and depreciation of investments in new technology, principally those associated with ableBanking.

 

·                  An increase of $107 thousand in marketing expense, principally due to promotional incentives associated with ableBanking.

 

·                  An increase of $108 thousand in loan acquisition and collection expense, principally due to an increase in the size of the LASG portfolio, which has grown to $148.4 million from $62.3 million at March 31, 2012.

 

Nine Months Ended March 31, 2013 and 2012

 

Noninterest expense totaled $24.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $20.7 million the nine months ended March 31, 2012, an increase of $3.8 million, principally due to the following:

 

·                  An increase of $2.2 million, or 19.0%, in employee compensation, due mainly to $502 thousand in additional incentive compensation, as well as the aforementioned increases in staffing and the cost of employee benefits programs.

 

·                  An increase of $748 thousand, or 27.3%, in occupancy and equipment, principally due to increased rent and depreciation of investments in new technology.

 

·                  An increase of $201 thousand, or 41.3%, in marketing expense, principally due to internet advertising and promotional incentives associated with ableBanking.

 

·                  An increase of $487 thousand, or 61.0%, in loan acquisition and collection expense, principally due to an increase in the size of the LASG portfolio, which has grown to $148.4 million from $62.3 million at March 31, 2012, and an increase in the volume of loan acquisitions and related due diligence activities.

 

51



Table of Contents

 

·                  An increase of $276 thousand, or 15.0%, in other noninterest expense, principally due to increased travel expense and charitable contributions.

 

Income Taxes

 

Three Months Ended March 31, 2013 and 2012

 

The Company’s income tax expense was $811 thousand, or an effective rate of 32.7%, for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, compared to $15 thousand, or an effective rate of 8.9%, for the quarter ended March 31, 2012.  The effective rate for each quarter differs from the Company’s statutory rate because of favorable book to tax differences, such as tax credits and tax exempt life insurance income. The increase in the Company’s effective tax rate from the quarter ended March 31, 2012 to March 31, 2013 principally resulted from the higher level of pretax income relative to permanent book to tax differences.

 

Nine Months Ended March 31, 2013 and 2012

 

The Company’s income tax expense was $2.0 million, or an effective rate of 32.2%, for the nine months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to a tax benefit of $209 thousand for the nine months ended March 31, 2012.  The tax benefit in the 2012 quarter resulted from a pretax loss of $231 thousand.

 

Results of Operations — Discontinued Operations

 

In the quarter ended September 30, 2011, the Company sold intangible assets (principally customer lists) and certain fixed assets of NBIG to local insurance agencies in two separate transactions.  The Varney Agency, Inc. of Bangor, Maine, purchased the assets of nine NBIG offices in Anson, Auburn, Augusta, Bethel, Livermore Falls, Scarborough, South Paris, Thomaston and Turner, Maine.  The NBIG office in Berwick, Maine, which now operates under the name of Spence & Matthews, was acquired by a member of NBIG’s senior management team.  In connection with the transaction, the Company also repaid borrowings associated with NBIG totaling $2.1 million.

 

The Company no longer conducts any significant operations in the insurance agency business and therefore has classified the operating results of NBIG, and the associated gain on sale of the division, as discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements.  See Part I. Item I. “Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements — Note 6: “Discontinued Operations” for further details.

 

Net income from discontinued operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 was $1.1 million.  Income for the period included a $1.6 million pre-tax gain on sale of the assets of NBIG, and pre-tax income associated with operations of $186 thousand.  Income taxes associated with discontinued operations totaled $600 thousand, or an effective rate of 34.5%.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk

 

Not required for smaller reporting companies.

 

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

 

The Company maintains controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively), as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding timely disclosure. In designing and evaluating disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost/benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

 

The Company’s management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a - 15(e) and 15d - 15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

Based on this evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2013.

 

There were no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a - 15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2013 that have materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

 

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1.

 

Legal Proceedings

 

 

 

 

 

In the ordinary course of business, the Company is involved in various threatened and pending legal proceedings.

 

 

 

 

 

In August 2011, the Bank received a summons and complaint in TSM Properties, LLC v. Northeast Bank and Daniel G. Thompson, Docket No. BCD-CV-12-10, State of Maine Superior Court Business and Consumer Docket sitting in Portland, Cumberland County, Maine, in connection with a dispute regarding  transfers of money that involves the Bank. Damages sought include $2.2 million and additional unspecified amounts.  The Bank intends to vigorously defend against these claims.  While it is not feasible to predict or determine the outcome of these proceedings, the Company believes that a loss resulting from an adverse outcome to this matter is reasonably possible, though the amount of the loss is not determinable at this time.  As such, the Company has not established a reserve against potential damages arising from this matter.
