NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

(Amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)

 

(1)BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Oconee Federal Financial Corp., which include the accounts of its wholly owned subsidiary Oconee Federal Savings and Loan Association (the “Association”) (referred to herein as “the Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated during consolidation. The Company is majority owned (72.24%) by Oconee Federal, MHC. These financial statements do not include the transactions and balances of Oconee Federal, MHC.

 

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2018 and June 30, 2018 and the results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017. All interim amounts have not been audited, and the results of operations for the interim periods herein are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the year ending June 30, 2019 or any other period. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2018.

 

Certain amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. The reclassifications had no effect on net income or shareholders’ equity as previously reported.

 

Cash Flows:   Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, federal funds sold, overnight interest-bearing deposits and amounts due from other depository institutions.

 

Use of Estimates:   To prepare financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management makes estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and the disclosures provided, and actual results could differ.

 

(2) NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

 

Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement”. Issued in August 2018, ASU 2018-13 provides guidance about fair value measurement disclosures. The amendment requires numerous removals, modifications and additions of fair value disclosure information. The amendments in this update are effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years; early adoption is permitted. The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. An entity is permitted to early adopt any removed or modified disclosures upon issuance of this Update and delay adoption of the additional disclosures until their effective date. The Company does not expect these amendments to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

 

ASU 2018-02, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income”. Issued in February 2018, ASU 2018-02 provides guidance with regard to the reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) to retained earnings for certain stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Consequently, the amendments eliminate the stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. However, because the amendments only relate to the reclassification of the income tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the underlying guidance that requires that the effect of a change in tax laws or rates be included in income from continuing operations is not affected. The amendments in this update are effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years; early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted this standard effective March 31, 2018 and elected to reclassify the income tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act from AOCI to retained earnings.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

(Amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)

 

ASU 2017-09, “Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting”. Issued in May 2017, ASU 2017-09 provides guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting in Topic 718. The amendments are effective for all entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. The amendments should be applied prospectively to an award modified on or after the adoption date. The Company has determined that this guidance does not have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

 

ASU 2017-08, “Receivables - Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities”. Issued in March 2017, ASU 2017-08 amends the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium. Specifically, the amendments require the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. The amendments do not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount; the discount continues to be amortized to maturity. The guidance is effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. The amendments should be applied on a modified retrospective basis, with a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. The Company is assessing the impact of ASU 2017-08 on its consolidated financial statements.

 

ASU 2017-04, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment”. Issued in January 2017, ASU 2017-04 amendments eliminate Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. The amendments also eliminate the requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment and, if it fails that qualitative test, to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. The guidance is effective for annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. ASU 2017-04 should be adopted on a prospective basis. The Company does not believe that this new guidance will have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

 

ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230)”. Issued in August 2016, ASU 2016-15 provides guidance on the classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments for presentation in the statement of cash flows. The amendment is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those years. The amendments will be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented unless impracticable. The Company has determined that this guidance does not have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

 

ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”. Issued in June 2016, ASU 2016-13 provides financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments that are not accounted for at fair value through net income, including loans held for investment, held-to-maturity debt securities, trade and other receivables, net investment in leases and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. ASU 2016-13 requires that financial assets measured at amortized cost be presented at the net amount expected to be collected, through an allowance for credit losses that is deducted from the amortized cost basis. The amendments in ASU 2016-13 eliminate the probable incurred loss recognition in current GAAP and reflect an entity’s current estimate of all expected credit losses. The measurement of expected credit losses is based upon historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the financial assets. For purchased financial assets with a more-than-insignificant amount of credit deterioration since origination (“PCD assets”) that are measured at amortized cost, the initial allowance for credit losses is added to the purchase price rather than being reported as a credit loss expense. Subsequent changes in the allowance for credit losses on PCD assets are recognized through the statement of income as a credit loss expense. Credit losses relating to available-for-sale debt securities will be recorded through an allowance for credit losses rather than as a direct write-down to the security. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company has formed a management committee to address this issue, including consideration of third party vendor support. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-13 on its consolidated financial statements.

(Amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)

 

ASU 2016-01, “Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”. Issued in January 2016, ASU 2016-01 addresses certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. The ASU affects public and private companies, not-for-profit organizations, and employee benefit plans that hold financial assets or owe financial liabilities. This ASU is now effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has determined that this guidance does not have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements. However, the Company measured the fair value of its loan portfolio as of September 30, 2018 using an exit price notion.

 

ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”. Issued in May 2014, ASU 2014-09 provides a framework for revenue recognition that replaces the existing industry and transaction specific requirements under the existing standards. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. On July 9, 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) approved amendments deferring the effective date by one year. ASU 2014-09 is now effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. In March and April 2016, the FASB issued final amendments (ASU 2016-08 and ASU 2016-10) to clarify the implementation guidance for principal versus agent considerations, identifying performance obligations and the accounting for licenses of intellectual property. In May 2016, the FASB issued final amendments (ASU-11) to clarify guidance related to collectability, noncash considerations, presentation of sales tax, and transition. The amendments can be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying this Update recognized at the date of initial application. The Company adopted the new guidance effective July 1, 2018 and intends to utilize the modified retrospective method.  Under the modified retrospective method the standard is applied only to the most current period presented in the financial statements with the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognized at the date of initial application. Since the guidance does not apply to revenue associated with financial instruments, including loans and securities that are accounted for under other GAAP, the Company does not expect the new guidance to have a material impact on revenue most closely associated with financial instruments, including interest income and expense. The Company has completed its overall assessment of revenue streams and review of related contracts potentially affected by the ASU, including deposit related fees, interchange fees, and merchant income. Based on this assessment, the Company concluded that ASU 2014-09 does not materially change the method in which the Company currently recognizes revenue for these revenue streams. The Company also completed its evaluation of certain costs related to these revenue streams to determine whether such costs should be presented as expenses or contra-revenue (i.e., gross vs. net). Based on its evaluation, the Company determined that the classification of certain debit and credit card related revenues should change (i.e., revenue previously recorded as contra-expense will be recorded as revenue). These classification changes are expected to result in an immaterial net increase of both revenue and expense. This change is not expected to have a material effect to noninterest income or expense. The Company adopted ASU 2014-09 on its required effective date of July 1, 2018 utilizing the modified retrospective approach. Since there was no net income impact upon adoption of the new guidance, a cumulative effect adjustment to opening retained earnings was not deemed necessary. The Company did reclassify prior period amounts for the debit and credit card costs noted above.

 

There have been no accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other standards-setting bodies during this quarter that are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of standards previously issued and not yet effective, and have no changes in our assessment to disclose since filing of the Form 10-K.

(3) EARNINGS PER SHARE (“EPS”)

 

Basic EPS is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and is adjusted for ESOP shares not yet committed to be released. Unvested restricted stock awards, which contain rights to non-forfeitable dividends, are considered participating securities and the two-class method of computing basic and diluted EPS is applied. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock, such as outstanding stock options, were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the Company. Diluted EPS is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding to include the effect of contracts or securities exercisable (such as stock options) or which could be converted into common stock, if dilutive, using the treasury stock method. The factors used in the earnings per common share computation follow:

(1)Actual amounts.

 

The Company evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairments (“OTTI”) at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. The Company considers the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than amortized cost and the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer. Additionally, the Company considers its intent to sell or whether it will be more likely than not it will be required to sell the security prior to the security’s anticipated recovery in fair value. In analyzing an issuer’s financial condition, the Company may consider whether the securities are issued by federal Government agencies, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred, and the results of reviews of the issuer’s financial condition.

 

None of the unrealized losses at September 30, 2018 were recognized into net income for the three months ended September 30, 2018 because the issuers’ bonds are of high credit quality, management does not intend to sell and it is more likely than not that management will not be required to sell the securities prior to their anticipated recovery, and the decline in fair value is largely due to changes in interest rates. The fair value of these securities is expected to recover as they approach their maturity date or reset date. None of the unrealized losses at June 30, 2018 were recognized as having OTTI during the year ended June 30, 2018.

Troubled Debt Restructurings:

 

At September 30, 2018 and June 30, 2018, total loans that have been modified as troubled debt restructurings were $3,082 and $3,016, respectively, which consisted of one construction loan, two agricultural loans, two nonresidential real estate and five one-to-four family first lien loans at September 30, 2018 and one construction loan, two agricultural loans, two non-residential real estate loans and four one-to-four family first lien loans at June 30, 2018. There was no specific allowance for loss established for these loans at September 30, 2018 or June 30, 2018. Additionally, there were no commitments to lend any additional amounts on any loan after the modification. The one-to-four family first lien troubled debt restructured during the three months ended September 30, 2018 involved renewing an existing loan with a term concession. No loans modified as troubled debt restructurings during the twelve months ended September 30, 2018 have defaulted since restructuring. All of these loans are on non-accrual at September 30, 2018 and June 30, 2018. At September 30, 2018 and June 30, 2018, $2,470 and $2,521, respectively, were individually evaluated for impairment.

 

Loan Grades:

 

The Company utilizes a grading system whereby all loans are assigned a grade based on the risk profile of each loan. Loan grades are determined based on an evaluation of relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. All loans, regardless of size, are analyzed and are given a grade based upon the management’s assessment of the ability of borrowers to service their debts.

 

Pass: Loan assets of this grade conform to a preponderance of our underwriting criteria and are acceptable as a credit risk, based upon the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor. Loans in this category also include loans secured by liquid assets and secured loans to borrowers with unblemished credit histories.

 

Pass-Watch: Loan assets of this grade represent our minimum level of acceptable credit risk. This grade may also represent obligations previously rated “Pass”, but with significantly deteriorating trends or previously rated.

 

Special Mention: Loan assets of this grade have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution’s credit position at some future date.

 

Substandard: Loan assets of this grade are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

 

Doubtful: Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.

 

Portfolio Segments:

 

One-to-four family: One-to-four family residential loans consist primarily of loans secured by first or second deeds of trust on primary residences, and are originated as adjustable-rate or fixed-rate loans for the construction, purchase or refinancing of a mortgage. These loans are collateralized by owner-occupied properties located in the Company’s market area. The Company currently originates residential mortgage loans for our portfolio with loan-to-value ratios of up to 80% for traditional owner-occupied homes.

 

For traditional homes, the Company may originate loans with loan-to-value ratios in excess of 80% if the borrower obtains mortgage insurance or provides readily marketable collateral. The Company may make exceptions for special loan programs that we offer. The Company also originates residential mortgage loans for non-owner-occupied homes with loan-to-value ratios of up to 80%.

(Amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)

 

The Company historically originated residential mortgage loans with loan-to-value ratios of up to 75% for manufactured or modular homes. The Company no longer offers residential mortgage loans for manufactured or modular homes as of December 1, 2014. However, renewals of existing performing credits that meet the Company’s underwriting requirements will be considered. The Company requires lower loan-to-value ratios for manufactured and modular homes because such homes tend to depreciate over time. Manufactured or modular homes must be permanently affixed to a lot to make them more difficult to move without the Company’s permission. Such homes must be “de-titled” by the State of South Carolina or Georgia so that they are taxed and must be transferred as residential homes rather than vehicles. The Company also obtains a mortgage on the real estate to which such homes are affixed.

 

Multi-family: Multi-family real estate loans generally have a maximum term of five years with a 30 year amortization period and a final balloon payment and are secured by properties containing five or more units in the Company’s market area. These loans are generally made in amounts of up to 75% of the lesser of the appraised value or the purchase price of the property with an appropriate projected debt service coverage ratio. The Company’s underwriting analysis includes considering the borrower’s expertise and requires verification of the borrower’s credit history, income and financial statements, banking relationships, independent appraisals, references and income projections for the property. The Company generally obtains personal guarantees on these loans.

 

Multi-family real estate loans generally present a higher level of risk than loans secured by one-to-four family residences. This greater risk is due to several factors, including the concentration of principal in a limited number of loans and borrowers, the effects of general economic conditions on income-producing properties and the increased difficulty of evaluating and monitoring these types of loans. Furthermore, the repayment of loans secured by multi-family residential real estate is typically dependent upon the successful operation of the related real estate project.

 

Home Equity: The Company offers home equity loans and lines of credit secured by first or second deeds of trust on primary residences in our market area. The Company’s home equity loans and lines of credit are limited to an 80% loan-to-value ratio (including all prior liens). Standard residential mortgage underwriting requirements are used to evaluate these loans. The Company offers adjustable-rate and fixed-rate options for these loans with a maximum term of 10 years. The repayment terms on lines of credit are interest only monthly with principle due at maturity. Home equity loans have a more traditional repayment structure with principal and interest due monthly. The maximum term on home equity loans is 10 years with an amortization schedule not exceed 20 years.

 

Nonresidential Real Estate: Nonresidential loans include those secured by real estate mortgages on churches, owner-occupied and non-owner-occupied commercial buildings of various types, retail and office buildings, hotels, and other business and industrial properties. The nonresidential real estate loans that the Company originates generally have terms of five to 20 years with amortization periods up to 20 years. The maximum loan-to-value ratio of our nonresidential real estate loans is generally 75%.

 

Loans secured by nonresidential real estate generally are larger than one-to-four family residential loans and involve greater credit risk. Nonresidential real estate loans often involve large loan balances to single borrowers or groups of related borrowers. Repayment of these loans depends to a large degree on the results of operations and management of the properties securing the loans or the businesses conducted on such property, and may be affected to a greater extent by adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy in general, including the current adverse conditions. Our nonresidential real estate lending includes a significant amount of loans to churches. Because a church’s financial stability often depends on donations from congregation members rather than income from business operations, repayment may be affected by economic conditions that affect individuals located both in our market area and in other market areas with which we are not as familiar. In addition, due to the unique nature of church buildings and properties, the real estate securing church loans may be less marketable than other nonresidential real estate.

 

The Company considers a number of factors in originating nonresidential real estate loans. The Company evaluates the qualifications and financial condition of the borrower, including credit history, cash flows, the applicable business plan, the financial resources of the borrower, the borrower’s experience in owning or managing similar property and the borrower’s payment history with the Company and other financial institutions. In evaluating the property securing the loan, the factors the Company considers include the net operating income of the mortgaged property before debt service and depreciation, the ratio of the loan amount to the appraised value of the mortgaged property and the debt service coverage ratio (the ratio of net operating income to debt service). For church loans, the Company also considers the length of time the church has been in existence, the size and financial strength of the denomination with which it is affiliated, attendance figures and growth projections and current operating budgets. The collateral underlying all nonresidential real estate loans is appraised by outside independent appraisers approved by our board of directors. Personal guarantees may be obtained from the principals of nonresidential real estate borrowers, and in the case of church loans, guarantees from the applicable denomination may be obtained.

Agricultural: These loans are secured by farmland and related improvements in the Company’s market area. These loans generally have terms of five to 20 years with amortization periods up to 20 years. The maximum loan-to-value ratio of these loans is generally 75%. The Company is managing a small number of these loans in our portfolio. We continue to closely monitor our existing relationships.

 

Loans secured by agricultural real estate generally are larger than one-to-four family residential loans and involve greater credit risk. Agricultural real estate loans often involve large loan balances to single borrowers or groups of related borrowers. Repayment of these loans depends to a large degree on the results of operations and management of the properties securing the loans or the businesses conducted on such property, and may be affected to a greater extent by adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy in general, including the current adverse conditions.

 

Construction and Land: The Company makes construction loans to individuals for the construction of their primary residences and to commercial businesses for their real estate needs. These loans generally have maximum terms of twelve months, and upon completion of construction convert to conventional amortizing mortgage loans. Residential construction loans have rates and terms comparable to one-to-four family residential mortgage loans that the Company originates. Commercial construction loans have rate and terms comparable to commercial loans that we originate. During the construction phase, the borrower generally pays interest only. Generally, the maximum loan-to-value ratio of our owner-occupied construction loans is 80%. Residential construction loans are generally underwritten pursuant to the same guidelines used for originating permanent residential mortgage loans. Commercial construction loans are generally underwritten pursuant to the same guidelines used for originating commercial loans.

 

The Company also makes interim construction loans for nonresidential properties. In addition, the Company occasionally makes loans for the construction of homes “on speculation,” but the Company generally permits a borrower to have only two such loans at a time. These loans generally have a maximum term of eight months, and upon completion of construction convert to conventional amortizing nonresidential real estate loans. These construction loans have rates and terms comparable to permanent loans secured by property of the type being constructed that we originate. Generally, the maximum loan-to-value ratio of these construction loans is 85%.

 

Commercial and Industrial Loans: Commercial and industrial loans are offered to businesses and professionals in the Company’s market area. These loans generally have short and medium terms on both a collateralized and uncollateralized basis. The structure of these loans are largely determined by the loan purpose and collateral. Sources of collateral can include a lien on furniture, fixtures, equipment, inventory, receivables and other assets of the company. A UCC-1 is typically filed to perfect our lien on these assets.

 

Commercial and industrial loans and leases typically are underwritten on the basis of the borrower’s or lessee’s ability to make repayment from the cash flow of its business and generally are collateralized by business assets. As a result, such loans and leases involve additional complexities, variables and risks and require more thorough underwriting and servicing than other types of loans and leases.

 

Consumer and Other Loans: The Company offers installment loans for various consumer purposes, including the purchase of automobiles, boats, and for other legitimate personal purposes. The maximum terms of consumer loans is 18 months for unsecured loans and 18 to 60 months for loans secured by a vehicle, depending on the age of the vehicle. The Company generally only extends consumer loans to existing customers or their immediate family members, and these loans generally have relatively low balances.

Consumer loans may entail greater credit risk than residential mortgage loans, particularly in the case of consumer loans that are unsecured or are secured by rapidly depreciable assets, such as automobiles. In addition, consumer loan collections are dependent on the borrower’s continuing financial stability, and thus are more likely to be affected by adverse personal circumstances. Furthermore, the application of various federal and state laws, including bankruptcy and insolvency laws, may limit the amount which can be recovered on such loans.

 

Based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk grade of loans by portfolio segment are presented in the following tables.

The advances were collateralized by $40,217 and $36,248 of investment securities at September 30, 2018 and June 30, 2018, respectively. The Association has also pledged as collateral FHLB stock and has entered into a blanket collateral agreement whereby qualifying mortgages, free of other encumbrances and at various discounted values as determined by the FHLB, will be maintained. Based on this collateral, the Association is eligible to borrow up to a total of $122,406 at September 30, 2018.

 

Payments over the next five years are as follows: 

 

2018 $7,500
2019 $9,500

 

There were no overnight borrowings at September 30, 2018 or June 30, 2018.

 

(7)       FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values:

 

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

 

Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

 

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

OCONEE FEDERAL FINANCIAL CORP.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Amounts in thousands, except share and per share data)

 

Investment Securities:

 

The fair values for investment securities are determined by quoted market prices, if available (Level 1). For securities where quoted prices are not available, fair values are calculated based on market prices of similar securities (Level 2). For securities where quoted prices or market prices of similar securities are not available, fair values are calculated using discounted cash flows or other market indicators (Level 3).

 

Impaired Loans:

 

The fair value of impaired loans with specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses is generally based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are typically significant and result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. Non-real estate collateral may be valued using an appraisal, net book value per the borrower’s financial statements, or aging reports, adjusted or discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of the valuation, and management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and client’s business, resulting in a Level 3 fair value classification. Impaired loans are evaluated on a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly.

 

Real Estate Owned:

 

Assets acquired through or instead of loan foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. These assets are subsequently accounted for at lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Fair value is commonly based on recent real estate appraisals, which are updated no less frequently than annually. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. Real estate owned properties are evaluated on a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly.

 

Appraisals for both collateral-dependent impaired loans and real estate owned are performed by certified general appraisers (for commercial properties) or certified residential appraisers (for residential properties) whose qualifications and licenses have been reviewed and verified by the Company. Once received, management reviews the assumptions and approaches utilized in the appraisal as well as the overall resulting fair value in comparison with independent data sources such as recent market data or industry-wide statistics. On an annual basis, the Company compares the actual selling price of collateral that has been sold to the most recent appraised value to determine what additional adjustment should be made to the appraisal value to arrive at fair value.

 

Loan Servicing Rights:   

 

Fair value is determined based on a valuation model that calculates the present value of estimated future net servicing income. The valuation model utilizes assumptions that market participants would use in estimating future net servicing income and that can be validated against available market data and results in a Level 3 classification.

(1)Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value, which is evaluated on a pool-level basis.  The fair value of loans held for sale is determined using quoted prices for similar assets, adjusted for specific attributes of that loan or other observable market data, such as outstanding commitments from third party investors and result in a Level 3 classification.
(2)Carrying amount of loans is net of unearned income and the allowance. In accordance with the adoption of ASU No. 2016-01, the fair value of loans as of September 30, 2018 was measured using an exit price notion. The fair value of loans as of June 30, 2018 was measured using an entry price notion.

 

(8)EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN

 

Employees participate in an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”). The ESOP borrowed from the Company to purchase 248,842 shares of the Company’s common stock at $10.00 per share during 2011. The Company makes discretionary contributions to the ESOP and pays dividends on unallocated shares to the ESOP, and the ESOP uses funds it receives to repay the loan. When loan payments are made, ESOP shares are allocated to participants based on relative compensation and expense is recorded. Dividends on allocated shares increase participant accounts.

 

Participants receive the shares at the end of employment. The Company makes contributions to the ESOP each December, therefore no contributions were made during the three months ended September 30, 2018. Total ESOP compensation expense for the three months ended September 30, 2018 was $115, and for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was $122.

(9)STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

 

On April 5, 2012, the shareholders of Oconee Federal Financial Corp. approved the Oconee Federal Financial Corp. 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) for employees and directors of the Company. The Plan authorizes the issuance of up to 435,472 shares of the Company’s common stock, with no more than 124,420 of shares as restricted stock awards and 311,052 as stock options, either incentive stock options or non-qualified stock options. The exercise price of options granted under the Plan may not be less than the fair market value on the date the stock option is granted. The compensation committee of the board of directors has sole discretion to determine the amount and to whom equity incentive awards are granted.

 

On December 22, 2017, the compensation committee of the board of directors approved the issuance of 22,400 stock options to purchase Company stock to officers. There were no stock options or restricted stock issued in fiscal 2017. Stock options and restricted stock have vesting periods of five years or seven years, a percentage of which vests annually on each anniversary of the grant date. The weighted average vesting period of stock options granted in 2017 was seven years. Apart from the vesting schedule for both stock options and restricted stock, there are no performance-based conditions or any other material conditions applicable to the awards issued.

 

The following table summarizes stock option activity for the three months ended September 30, 2018:

 

   Options   Weighted- Average Exercise Price/Share   Aggregate Intrinsic
Value(1)
 
Outstanding - June 30, 2018   241,209   $14.18      
Granted             
Exercised   (15,552)         
Forfeited             
Outstanding - September 30, 2018   225,657   $14.36   $2,745 
Fully vested and exercisable at September 30, 2018   174,348   $12.08   $2,518 
Expected to vest in future periods   51,309           
Fully vested and expected to vest - September 30, 2018   225,657   $14.36   $2,745 

 

 

(1)The intrinsic value for stock options is defined as the difference between the current market value and the exercise price. The current market price was based on the closing price of common stock of $26.52 per share on September 30, 2018.

The fair value for each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model that uses the following assumptions. The Company uses the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant to determine the risk-free interest rate. The expected dividend yield is estimated using the projected annual dividend level and recent stock price of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant. Expected stock volatility is based on historical volatilities of the SNL Financial Index of Thrift MHCs. The expected life of the options is calculated based on the “simplified” method as provided for under generally accepted accounting principles.

 

The weighted-average fair value of options granted and assumptions used in the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model in the fiscal years granted are listed below:

 

There have been no stock options granted in fiscal year 2019.

 

   Fiscal Years Granted 
   2018 
Risk-free interest rate   2.43%
Expected dividend yield   1.36%
Expected stock volatility   15.03%
Expected life (years)   8 
Fair value  $5.41 

 

Stock options are assumed to be earned ratably over their respective vesting periods and charged to compensation expense based upon their grant date fair value and the number of options assumed to be earned. There were 4,035 and 4,036 options that were earned during the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense for stock options for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 was $11 and $6, respectively. Total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options was $154 at September 30, 2018 and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.9 years.

 

The following table summarizes non-vested restricted stock activity for the three months ended September 30, 2018:

 

   Septmber 30,
 2018
 
Balance - beginning of year   15,355 
Granted    
Forfeited    
Vested    
Balance - end of period   15,355 
Weighted average grant date fair value  $13.09 

 

The fair value of the restricted stock awards is amortized to compensation expense over their respective vesting periods and is based on the market price of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant multiplied by the number of shares granted that are expected to vest. Stock-based compensation expense for restricted stock included in noninterest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 was $25 and $25, respectively. Unrecognized compensation expense for non-vested restricted stock awards was $213 at September 30, 2018 and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.7 years.

ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

This Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements, which can be identified by the use of such words as estimate, project, believe, intend, anticipate, plan, seek, expect and similar expressions. These forward-looking statements include:

 

statements of our goals, intentions and expectations;

statements regarding our business plans and prospects and growth and operating strategies;

statements regarding the asset quality of our loan and investment portfolios; and

estimates of our risks and future costs and benefits. 

 

These forward-looking statements are based on our current beliefs and expectations and are inherently subject to significant business, economic, and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control. In addition, these forward-looking statements are subject to assumptions with respect to future business strategies and decisions that are subject to change. We are under no duty to and do not take any obligation to update any forward-looking statements after the date of this Quarterly Report.

 

The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements:

 

our ability to manage our operations nationally and in our market areas;

adverse changes in the financial industry, securities, credit and national and local real estate markets (including real estate values);

significant increases in our delinquencies and loan losses, including as a result of our inability to resolve classified assets, changes in the underlying cash flows of our borrowers, and management’s assumptions in determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses;

credit risks of lending activities, including changes in the level and trend of loan delinquencies and write-offs and in our allowance and provision for loan losses;

use of estimates for determining the fair value of certain of our assets, which may prove to be incorrect and result in significant declines in valuations;

increased competition among depository and other financial institutions;

our ability to attract and maintain deposits, including introducing new deposit products;

inflation and changes in interest rates generally, including changes in the relative differences between short term and long term interest rates and in deposit interest rates, that may affect our net interest margin and funding sources;

fluctuations in the demand for loans, which may be affected by the number of unsold homes, land and other properties in our market areas and by declines in the value of real estate in our market area;

declines in the yield on our assets resulting from the current low interest rate environment;

our ability to successfully implement our business strategies, including attracting and maintaining deposits and introducing new financial products;

risks related to high concentration of loans secured by real estate located in our market areas;

changes in the level of government support of housing finance;

the results of examinations by our regulators, including the possibility that our regulators may, among other things, require us to increase our reserve for loan losses, write down assets, change our regulatory capital position, limit our ability to borrow funds or maintain or increase deposits, or prohibit us from paying dividends, which could adversely affect our dividends and earnings;

our ability to enter new markets successfully and capitalize on growth opportunities;

changes in laws or government regulations or policies affecting financial institutions, which could result in, among other things, increased deposit insurance premiums and assessments, capital requirements (particularly the new capital regulations), regulatory fees and compliance costs and the resources we have available to address such changes;

changes in the ability of third-party providers to perform their obligations to us;

technological changes that may be more difficult or expensive than expected;

cyber attacks, computer viruses and other technological risks that may breach the security of our websites or other systems to obtain unauthorized access to confidential information, destroy data or disable our systems;

our reliance on a small executive staff;

changes in our compensation and benefit plans, and our ability to retain key members of our senior management team and to address staffing needs to implement our strategic plan;

changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits;

 

 32

 

changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the bank regulatory agencies, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board;

our ability to control costs and expenses, particularly those related to operating as a publicly traded company;

the ability of the U.S. government to manage federal debt limits;

other changes in our financial condition or results of operations that reduce capital available to pay dividends;

other changes in the financial condition or future prospects of issuers of securities that we own, including our stock in the FHLB of Atlanta; and

other economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory and operational factors affecting our operations, pricing, products and services.

 

Because of these and a wide variety of other uncertainties, our actual future results may be materially different from the results indicated by these forward-looking statements.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

There are no material changes to the critical accounting policies disclosed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for Oconee Federal Financial Corp. for the year ended June 30, 2018, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Comparison of Financial Condition at September 30, 2018 and June 30, 2018

 

Our total assets increased by $8.5 million, or 1.7%, to $496.5 million at September 30, 2018 from $488.0 million at June 30, 2018. Total cash and cash equivalents decreased $2.9 million, or 28.8%, to $7.1 million at September 30, 2018 from $9.9 million at June 30, 2018. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents was due to normal fluctuations in cash. Our available-for-sale securities portfolio decreased by $3.7 million from $115.1 million at June 30, 2018 to $111.5 million at September 30, 2018. Gross loans increased $14.2 million, or 4.3%, to $342.0 million at September 30, 2018 from $327.8 million at June 30, 2018. This increase is a result of increased one-to-four family, construction and land loan demand experienced during the three months ended September 30, 2018. Proceeds from FHLB advances and investment repayments and maturities were used to fund the loan growth.

 

Deposits increased $6.8 million, or 1.8%, to $394.4 million at September 30, 2018 from $387.6 million at June 30, 2018. The increase in our deposits reflected an increase of $491 thousand in money market deposits, $3.2 million in certificates of deposit, $515 thousand in NOW accounts and $3.1 million in non-interest bearing checking, offset by a decrease of $469 thousand in savings deposits.

 

Oconee Federal, MHC’s cash is held on deposit with the Association. We generally do not accept brokered deposits and no brokered deposits were accepted during the three months ended September 30, 2018.

 

Federal Home Loan Bank advances increased by $2.5 million, or 17.2%, to $17.0 million at September 30, 2018 from $14.5 million at June 30, 2018. We have credit available under a loan agreement with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta in the amount of 25% of our total assets as of September 30, 2018, or approximately $122.4 million. We had no federal funds purchased as of September 30, 2018 or as of June 30, 2018.

 

Total shareholders’ equity decreased $588 thousand, or 0.7%, to $84.3 million at September 30, 2018 compared to $84.9 million at June 30, 2018. This was primarily due to our net income during the period of $884 thousand being offset by an increase in after tax unrealized losses in our investment portfolio of $525 thousand, our payment of dividends of $577 thousand, and $521 thousand used for the repurchase of treasury stock. The Company and the Bank exceeded all minimum regulatory capital requirements at September 30, 2018 and June 30, 2018.

There was no interest recognized on these loans for the three months ended September 30, 2018. Interest of $24 thousand was recognized on these loans and is included in net income for the three months ended September 30, 2017.

 

Interest income that would have been recorded had our troubled debt restructured loans been current in accordance with their original terms was $40 thousand and $39 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

 

Nonperforming assets decreased $647 thousand from $6.5 million as of June 30, 2018 to $5.8 million as of September 30, 2018. Nonaccrual loans decreased $348 thousand to $5.0 million as of September 30, 2018 and real estate owned decreased $299 thousand to $775 thousand as of September 30, 2018. There were no accruing loans past due 90 days or more at either date. The decrease in nonaccrual loans primarily related to normal monthly fluctuations. Nonperforming assets to total assets and nonperforming assets to loans and real estate owned were 1.17% and 1.69%, respectively, at September 30, 2018 compared to 1.32% and 1.96%, respectively at June 30, 2018.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017

 

General. We reported net income of $884 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2018 as compared to net income of $857 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2017. Interest income increased $256 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and interest expense increased $277 thousand resulting in a net decrease to net interest income of $21 thousand. Noninterest income increased $4 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to September 30, 2017. Total noninterest expense increased $130 thousand primarily due to increased cost in salaries and employee benefits. Tax expense decreased $200 thousand, primarily due to a reduction in the federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that was enacted on December 22, 2017.

Interest Income. Interest income increased to $4.4 million from $4.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017, respectively. The yield on interest-earning assets increased eight basis points from 3.80% for the three months ended September 30, 2017 to 3.88% for the three months ended September 30, 2018. Total average interest-earning assets increased by $17.2 million to $455.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 from $438.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017.

 

Interest income on loans increased to $3.8 million from $3.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017, respectively. The yield on loans decreased ten basis points from 4.59% for the three months ended September 30, 2017 to 4.49% for the three months ended September 30, 2018, a result of the repayments of older, higher yielding loans being replaced by loans with lower yields. The average balance of loans increased by $25.6 million, or 8.3%, to $335.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 from $309.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017. The increase in the average balance of our loans is reflective of normal loan growth.

 

Interest income on investment securities increased by $48 thousand, or 8.3%, to $623 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2018 from $575 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2017. The increase reflected the combination of a decrease in the average balance of securities of $2.7 million, or 2.3%, to $117.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 from $119.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and an increase in the yield on securities to 2.13% from 1.92% for the respective periods. The decrease in the average balances of our investment securities reflects our efforts during fiscal 2018 to reduce investment purchases, which allowed us to use those funds as well as investment repayments and maturities to fund loan growth.

 

The average balance of interest-earning deposits decreased $568 thousand from the three months ended September 30, 2017 to the three months ended September 30, 2018 while the yield increased 22 basis points over the same period. The increase in yield was primarily a result of increased short term rates on deposits due to market rate increases.

 

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased by $277 thousand, or 74.3%, to $650 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2018 from $373 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2017. The increase reflected an increase of 22 basis points in the average rate paid on deposits for the three months ended September 30, 2018 to 0.62% from 0.40% for the three months ended September 30, 2017. The increase in the average rate paid on deposits reflects our efforts to keep our cost of funds as low as possible but still maintain our competitiveness in our market area among other banking institutions. Average interest-bearing deposits were $358.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $359.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017.

 

The largest increase in deposit interest expense was related to expense on certificates of deposit, which increased $211 thousand, or 79.9%, to $475 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2018 from $264 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2017. The average rate paid on certificates of deposit increased from 0.52% for the three months ended September 30, 2017 to 0.87% for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and the average balances increased from $203.2 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2017 to $215.5 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2018.

 

Interest expense for other borrowings increased by $74 thousand. Other borrowings include both FHLB advances as well as overnight federal funds purchased. Average other borrowings were $15.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $3.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017. The average rate was 2.22% and 1.14% for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

 

Net Interest Income. Net interest income before the provision for loan losses decreased by $21 thousand, or 0.6%, to $3.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. Our interest rate spread and net interest margin decreased to 3.19% and 3.31%, respectively, from 3.39% and 3.46%, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017, respectively. The increasing yield on earning assets offset by the higher cost of certificates of deposit and other borrowings primarily contributed to the decrease in net interest margin for the three months ended September 30, 2018.

 

Provision for Loan Losses. We recorded a provision for loan losses of $72 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared with $46 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2017. There were $18 thousand in charge-offs for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $38 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2017. The lower provision is primarily due to a favorable shift in our ratio of originated loans to acquired loans. Acquired loans have historically had a larger charge-off percentage when compared to our originated loans.

Our total allowance for loan losses was $1.2 million, or 0.34%, of total gross loans as of September 30, 2018. Our total allowance for loan losses was $1.1 million, or 0.33%, of total gross loans as of June 30, 2018. There were no specifically identified impaired loans at September 30, 2018 or June 30, 2018. The recorded investment in individually evaluated impaired loans was $3.5 million at September 30, 2018 and at June 30, 2018. Total loans individually evaluated for impairment decreased $57 thousand, or 1.6%, to $3.47 million at September 30, 2018 compared to $3.53 million at June 30, 2018.

 

To the best of our knowledge, we have recorded all losses that are both probable and reasonably estimable for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017. There have been no changes to our allowance for loan loss methodology during the quarter.

 

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income increased $4 thousand, or 1.0%, to $408 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2018 from $404 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2017. Mortgage servicing income decreased $10 thousand due to the declining size of the loan servicing portfolio. The net gain on sales of investment securities available for sale was $1 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $10 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2017. Gains on the sale of securities are largely market driven. Gain on sale of mortgage loans was $26 thousand and zero for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. We actively started selling mortgage loans in December 2017. Changes in all other noninterest income items were due to normal periodic fluctuations.

 

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2018 increased by $130 thousand, or 4.5%, to $3.0 million from $2.9 million for the same period in 2017. Salaries and employee benefits increased $130 thousand due to routine increases. Occupancy and equipment increased $18 thousand due to routine upgrades and improvements. Data processing also increased $25 thousand due to routine upgrades and increased volumes. Foreclosed asset expense decreased $37 thousand due to increased gains on the disposal of properties as well as reduced maintenance and repairs on foreclosed properties. The change in the value of the loan servicing portfolio decreased $9 thousand due to market conditions. Changes in all other noninterest expense items were due to normal periodic fluctuations.

 

Income Tax Expense. Tax expense decreased $200 thousand, or 46.9%, to $226 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2018 from $426 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2017. The decrease was primarily due to a reduction in the federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that was enacted on December 22, 2017 combined with a reduction in pre-tax net income. Our effective income tax rate was 20.4% and 33.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our primary sources of funds are deposits and the proceeds from principal and interest payments on loans and investment securities. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. We generally manage the pricing of our deposits to be competitive within our market and to increase core deposit relationships.

 

Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term responsibility of management. We adjust our investments in liquid assets based upon management’s assessment of (i) expected loan demand, (ii) expected deposit flows, (iii) yields available on interest-earning deposits and investment securities, and (iv) the objectives of our asset/liability management program. Excess liquid assets are invested generally in interest-earning overnight deposits, federal funds sold, and short and intermediate-term U.S. Government sponsored agencies and mortgage-backed securities of short duration. If we require funds beyond our ability to generate them internally, we have credit available under a loan agreement with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta in the amount of 25% of total assets (as of September 30, 2018), or approximately $122.4 million, with a remaining availability of $105.4 million as of September 30, 2018.

 

Common Stock Dividends. On August 16, 2018, the Company paid a $0.10 per share cash dividend on its common stock for a total of $578 thousand.

 

Equity Compensation Plans. During the three months ended September 30, 2018, no shares of restricted stock or common stock options were issued.
