NOTES TO
UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note
1 – Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and with
instructions to Form 10-Q (as applicable to smaller reporting companies) 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, all adjustments consisting
of normal recurring accruals necessary for a fair presentation have been
included. The results of operations and other data for the three
months ended March 31, 2008, are not necessarily indicative of results that may
be expected for the entire fiscal year ended December 31,
2008.
The
consolidated financial statements include Mutual Federal Bancorp, Inc. (the
“Company”), and its wholly owned subsidiary Mutual Federal Savings and Loan
Association of Chicago and its wholly owned subsidiary, EMEFES Service
Corporation, together referred to as “the Bank.” Intercompany
transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation. As of
March 31, 2008, Mutual Federal Bancorp, MHC (the “MHC”) was the majority (72%)
stockholder of the Company. The MHC is owned by the depositors of the
Bank. The financial statements included in this Form 10-Q do not
include the transactions and balances of the MHC. EMEFES Service
Corporation is an insurance agency that sells insurance products to the Bank’s
customers. The insurance products are underwritten and provided by a
third party.
The Bank
provides financial services through its office in Chicago. Its
primary deposit products are checking, savings, and term certificate accounts,
and its primary lending products are residential mortgage loans and loans on
deposit accounts. Substantially all loans are secured by specific
items of collateral, including one- to four-family and multifamily residential
real estate, and deposit accounts. There are no significant
concentrations of loans to any one customer. However, the customers’
ability to repay their loans is dependent on the real estate and general
economic conditions in the Chicagoland area.
Note
2 – Capital Resources
The Bank
is subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal
banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can
initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary actions by
regulators that, if undertaken, could have a material impact on the Bank’s
financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the
regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific
capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank’s assets,
liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated for regulatory
accounting purposes. The Bank’s capital amounts and classification
are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components,
risk weightings, and other factors.
Quantitative
measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank
to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of total and Tier 1 capital to
risk-weighted assets, and of Tier 1 capital to average assets and of tangible
capital to average assets. As of March 31, 2008, the Bank met
the capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject. The Bank’s
tangible capital ratio at March 31, 2008 was 33.14%. The Tier 1
capital ratio was 33.14%, the Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 59.53%, and
the total risk-based capital ratio was 60.40%.
The most
recent notification from the federal banking agencies categorized the Bank as
well-capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective
action. To be well-capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum total
risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios. There are
no conditions or events since that notification that have changed the Bank’s
category.

UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note
3 – Commitments
At
March 31, 2008, the Bank had outstanding commitments to make loans of
$654,000. At December 31, 2007, the Bank had outstanding
commitments to make loans of $205,000.
Note
4 – Fair Value Option and Fair Value Measurements
In
September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157,
Fair Value
Measurements
. This Statement defines fair value, establishes a
framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value
measurements. This Statement establishes a fair value hierarchy about
the assumptions used to measure fair value and clarifies assumptions about risk
and the effect of a restriction on the sale or use of an asset. The
standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15,
2007. The impact of adoption was not
material. In February 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position (FSP)
157-2,
Effective Date of FASB
Statement No. 157
. This FSP delays the effective date of FAS
157 for all non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except those
that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis (at least
annually) to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods
within those fiscal years. The impact of adoption was not
material.
In February 2007, the FASB issued
Statement No. 159,
The Fair
Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial
Liabilities.
The standard provides companies with an option to
report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value and establishes
presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons
between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types
of assets and liabilities. The new standard is effective for the
Company on January 1, 2008. The Company has elected the fair value
option for various mutual funds included in trading securities as of January 1,
2008. The impact of adoption is not material, as the Company
recognized an impairment charge at December 31, 2007, resulting in the mutual
funds being carried at fair value.
Note
5 – Fair Value
Fair Value
Option
The Company has elected the fair value
option for various mutual funds in order to make them more readily available for
liquidity management. The mutual funds are the only assets being
designated as trading assets. The Company’s investments in Federal
Home Loan Mortgage Corporation common and preferred stock, and all debt
securities, will continue to be held as available for sale, carried at fair
value with unrealized gains and losses recorded through accumulated other
comprehensive income.
Fair
Value Measurement
Statement
157 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset
or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most
advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between
market participants on the measurement date. Statement 157 also
establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use
of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring
fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be
used to measure fair value:
Level 1:
Quoted prices (unadjusted) of identical assets or liabilities in active markets
that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement
date.
MUTUAL
FEDERAL BANCORP, INC.
NOTES TO
UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note
5 – Fair Value (continued)
Level 2:
Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted
prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not
active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable
market data.
Level 3:
Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company’s own assumptions about
the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or
liability.
The
Company determines the fair values of trading securities and securities
available for sale by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized
securities exchanges (Level 1 inputs) or matrix pricing, which is a mathematical
technique widely used in the industry to value debt securities without relying
exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities, but rather by relying
on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2
inputs).

Dividend
income earned on trading securities is reinvested and used to purchase
additional shares. Changes in share price is recorded through the
income statement as changes in fair value of trading
securities. During the quarter, the Company recognized an unrealized
loss of $8,000 on changes in fair value of trading securities.
Note
6 – Employee Stock Ownership Plan
As of
January 1, 2006, the Company adopted an employee stock ownership plan
(“ESOP”) for the benefit of substantially all employees. The ESOP
borrowed $872,850 from the Company and used those funds to acquire 87,285 shares
of the Company’s common stock on April 4, 2006, in connection with the
Company’s minority stock offering, at a price of $10.00 per share.
Shares
purchased by the ESOP with the loan proceeds are held in a suspense account and
are allocated to ESOP participants on a pro rata basis as principal and interest
payments are made by the ESOP to the Company. The loan is secured by
shares purchased with the loan proceeds and is being repaid by the ESOP with
funds from the Company’s contributions to the ESOP and earnings on ESOP
assets. The ESOP is making annual fixed principal payments of
$44,000, plus interest at 7.0% on the unpaid loan balance.
As shares
are released from collateral, the Company reports compensation expense equal to
the current market price of the shares and the shares become outstanding for
earnings-per-share (“EPS”) computations. Upon termination of their
employment, participants in the ESOP who elect to receive their benefit
distributions in the form of Company common stock may require the Company to
purchase the common stock distributed at fair value. This contingent
repurchase obligation is reflected in the Company’s financial statements as
“Common stock in ESOP subject to contingent repurchase obligation” and reduces
stockholders’ equity by an amount that represents the market value of all the
Company’s common stock held by the ESOP and allocated to participants, without
regard to whether it is likely that

the
shares would be distributed or that the recipients of the shares would be likely
to exercise their right to require the Company to purchase the
shares. At March 31, 2008, there were 11,761 ESOP shares allocated or
committed to be allocated.
Note
7 – Stock Based Compensation
On
January 16, 2007, the Company awarded 52,748 shares of common stock, with a fair
value of $14.41 per share, to the Company’s officers and directors under its
2006 Management Recognition and Retention Plan. The Company also
awarded 131,871 options to purchase the Company’s common stock at a strike price
of $14.41 per share, to the Company’s officers and directors under its 2006
Stock Option Plan.
On March
18, 2008, the Company awarded 2,138 shares of common stock, with a fair value of
$11.35 per share, to a director of the Company under its 2006 Management
Recognition and Retention Plan. The Company also awarded to this
director options to purchase 5,346 shares of the Company’s common stock at a
strike price of $11.35 per share under its 2006 Stock Option Plan.
The
awards vest over a five year period. Total compensation cost that has
been charged against income for those plans for the three months ended March 31,
2008 and 2007, was $64,000 and $54,000, respectively. The total
income tax benefits were estimated at $18,000 and $15,000.
Stock Option
Plan
The
Company’s 2006 Stock Option Plan, which is shareholder-approved, permits the
grant of stock options to its officers, directors and employees for up to an
aggregate 178,206 shares of common stock. The Company believes that
such awards better align the interests of its employees with those of its
shareholders. Option awards are granted with an exercise price that
is no less than the market price of the Company’s common stock at the date of
grant, have vesting periods of five years, and have 10-year contractual
terms. The Company anticipates purchasing shares to satisfy share
option exercises.
The fair
value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a closed form
option valuation (Black-Scholes) model that uses the assumptions noted in the
table below. Since the Company stock has only been trading since
April 6, 2006, the Company has used the price volatility of similar entities to
estimate volatility. The Company has no historical data on which to
base forfeiture estimates, and has assumed no forfeitures. The
expected term of options granted is based on the calculation for “plain vanilla
options” permitted by Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, and represents the
period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding, which takes
into account that the options are not transferable. The risk-free
interest rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury
yield curve in effect at the time of the grant.
The fair
value of options granted during 2008 and 2007 were determined using the
following weighted-average assumptions as of grant date:

non-vested shares granted under the Plan. The cost is expected to be
recognized over a weighted-average remaining period of 3.8 years.
Note
8 – Earnings Per Share
Basic
earnings per share are computed by dividing income available to common
stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the
period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution
that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were
exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common
stock that then shared in the earnings of the Company. Both basic and
fully diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the three months ended
March 31, 2008 and 2007, are 3,452,408 and 3,554,868,
respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007,
the average fair value of the Company’s common stock was less than the exercise
price, and the stock option awards had no dilutive effect on earnings per
share.

Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
.
General
This
discussion and analysis reflects our consolidated financial statements and other
relevant statistical data and is intended to enhance your understanding of our
financial condition and results of operations. You should read the
information in this section in conjunction with our audited consolidated
financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, which
are included in Form 10-KSB filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
March 21, 2008.
Forward-Looking

statements, and undue reliance should not be placed on such
statements. Because of these and other uncertainties, our actual
future results may be materially different from the results indicated by these
forward-looking statements.
Overview
Our
results of operations depend primarily on our net interest
income. Net interest income is the difference between the interest
income we earn on our interest-earning assets, consisting primarily of loans,
U.S. government and agency securities, mortgage-backed securities and other
interest earning assets (primarily cash and cash equivalents), and the interest
we pay on our interest-bearing liabilities, consisting of savings accounts, time
deposits, and advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank. Our results
of operations are also affected by our provisions for loan losses, non-interest
income and non-interest expense. Non-interest income consists
primarily of miscellaneous fees and charges on loan and deposit accounts, and
changes in the fair value of trading securities. Non-interest expense
currently consists primarily of salaries and employee benefits, occupancy, data
processing, professional fees, and other operating expenses. Our
results of operations also may be affected significantly by general and local
economic and competitive conditions, changes in market interest rates,
governmental policies and actions of regulatory authorities.
Critical
Accounting Policies
We
consider accounting policies involving significant judgments and assumptions by
management that have, or could have, a material impact on the carrying value of
certain assets or on income to be critical accounting policies. We
consider our critical accounting policies to be those related to our allowance
for loan losses.
The
allowance for loan losses is the estimated amount considered necessary to cover
probable incurred losses in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet
date. The allowance is established through a provision for loan
losses that is charged against income. In determining the allowance
for loan losses, management makes significant estimates and has identified this
policy as one of our most critical.
Management
performs a quarterly evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan
losses. We consider a variety of factors in establishing this
estimate including, but not limited to, current economic conditions, delinquency
statistics, geographic and industry concentrations, the adequacy of the
underlying collateral, the financial strength of the borrower, results of
internal loan reviews and other relevant factors. This evaluation is
inherently subjective as it requires material estimates that may be subject to
significant change.
The
analysis has two components: specific and general
allocations. Specific allocations are made for loans that are
determined to be impaired. Impairment is measured by determining the
present value of expected future cash flows or, for collateral-dependent, the
fair value of the collateral adjusted for market conditions and selling
expenses. The general allocation is determined by segregating the
remaining loans by type of loan, risk weighting (if applicable) and payment
history. We also analyze historical loss experience, delinquency
trends, general economic conditions and geographic and industry
concentrations. This analysis establishes factors that are applied to
the loan groups to determine the amount of the general allowance for loan
losses. Actual loan losses may be significantly more than the
allowances we have established which could have a material negative effect on
our financial results.
Comparison
of Financial Condition at March 31, 2008 and December 31,
2007
Our total
assets were approximately the same, with $73.0 million at March 31, 2008,
and at December 31, 2007. Loans receivable decreased $780,000,
or 1.5%, to $52.3 million at March 31, 2008, from $53.0 million at
December 31, 2007, reflecting a decrease of $575,000, or 1.7%, in
one-to-four family residential mortgage loans and a decrease of $186,000, or
1.0%, in multi-family residential mortgage loans during the period.
Total
deposits increased $40,000, or 0.1%, to $39.8 million at March 31, 2008,
from $39.7 million at December 31, 2007. Stockholders’ equity
increased $106,000, to $27.0 million at March 31, 2008, from
$26.9 million at December 31, 2007. The increase reflects net
income of $15,000 for the quarter, a $35,000 increase in accumulated other
comprehensive income from net unrealized gains on securities available-for-sale,
an $81,000 increase from recognition of stock benefits earned under the
Company’s Employee Stock Ownership Plan, Management Recognition and Retention
Plan, and Stock Option Plan, offset by a $25,000 reclassification due to the
commitment for release and change in fair value of common stock in the ESOP
subject to the contingent repurchase obligation of ESOP shares.
Comparison
of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2008 and
2007
General
. Net
income decreased $70,000, or 82.4%, to $15,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 2008, from $85,000 for the three months ended March 31,
2007. The primary reason for the decrease was a $73,000, or 9.5%
decrease in net interest income, to $693,000 for the three months ended March
31, 2008, from $766,000 for the three months ended March 31,
2007. The provision for losses on loans also increased, to $40,000
for the three months ended March 31, 2008, from $10,000 in the first quarter of
2007.
Compensation
and benefits increased $28,000, or 8.1%, to $373,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 2008, from $345,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007,
primarily due to normal salary increases and to a $10,000 increase in the
amortization of stock awards and stock option expense. This was
offset to a degree by a $13,000, or 10.0% decrease in professional fees, to
$117,000 for the current period, from $130,000 for the same period last
year.
The
annualized return on average assets was 0.08% for the three months ended
March 31, 2008, compared to 0.45% for the same period last year, and the
annualized return on equity was 0.22% and 1.20%, respectively, for
these two periods.
Interest
Income
. Interest and dividend income decreased $60,000, or
5.5%, to $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, compared
to $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The
decrease resulted from the $2.1 million, or 2.9%, decrease in the average
balance of interest-earning assets, to $70.9 million in the first quarter of
2008, compared to $73.0 million in the first quarter of 2007, and to a decrease
of 16 basis points in the average yield on interest earning assets, to 5.79% in
2008, from 5.95% in 2007. In addition, it is the Company’s policy to
reserve all accrued interest on loans 90 days or more delinquent, which resulted
in a $36,000 reduction in interest income on loans during the first quarter of
2008, compared to a $5,000 decrease during the first quarter of
2007.
Interest
income and fees from loans receivable decreased $30,000, or 3.5%, to $823,000
for the three months ended March 31, 2008, from $853,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 2007. The primary reason was the increase
in the reserve for uncollected interest. In addition, the decrease
resulted from a $158,000, or 0.3%, decrease in the average balance of loans
receivable, to $52.5 million in the first quarter of 2008, compared to $52.7
million in the first quarter of 2007, and from a decrease of 21basis points in
the average yield on loans receivable, to 6.27% in 2008, from 6.48% in
2007.
Interest
and dividend income from securities, FHLB stock, and interest-earning deposits
decreased $30,000, or 12.8%, to $204,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 2008, from $234,000 for the three months ended March 31,
2007. The primary reason for the decrease was the decrease in average
balances of securities, FHLB stock, and interest-earning deposits of
$1.9 million, or 9.5%, to $18.4 million in 2008, from $20.4 million in 2007, and
by a 17 basis point decrease in average yield to 4.43% in 2008, from 4.60% in
2007. In addition, the FHLB of Chicago has suspended its dividend,
which amounted to $4,000 of income during the first quarter of 2007, and the
Federal Home Loan Mortgage
Corporation
reduced the dividend on its common stock by one half, resulting in a reduction
of $2,000 in dividend income from this source during the first quarter of
2008.
Interest
Expense
. Interest expense on deposits decreased $20,000, or
6.9%, to $272,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, from $292,000
for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The decrease in
interest expense was due primarily to a $3.5 million decrease in the average
balance of interest bearing deposits. The average rate paid on
deposits increased three basis points, to 2.77% for the quarter ended
March 31, 2008, from 2.74% for the quarter ended March 31,
2007. Interest expense on certificates of deposit decreased $15,000,
or 6.5%, to $215,000 in 2008, from $230,000 in 2007, because of a $1.8 million
decrease in the average balance of certificates of deposit, offset somewhat by
an increase in the average rate paid on certificates of seven basis points, to
4.17% in 2008, from 4.10% in 2007.
Interest
expense on FHLB advances increased $33,000, to $62,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 2008, compared to $29,000 for the three months ended March 31,
2007. The average balance of FHLB advances increased $3.4 million, to
$5.6 million for the first quarter of 2008, from $2.2 million for the first
quarter of 2007. The rate paid on advances decreased 89 basis points,
to 4.42% in 2008, from 5.31% in 2007. The overall average cost of
funds increased 12 basis points, to 2.98% in 2008, from 2.86% in
2007.
Net Interest
Income
. Net interest income decreased $73,000, or 9.5%, to
$693,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, from $766,000 for the
same quarter last year. Our net interest margin decreased 29 basis
points, to 3.91% in 2008, from 4.20% in 2007. The average yield on
interest-earning assets decreased 16 basis points, to 5.79% in 2008, from 5.95%
in 2007, and a decrease of $2.1 million, or 2.9%, in the average balance of
interest-earning assets, both contributed to interest income decreasing by
$73,000. The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities
increased, to 2.98% in 2008, from 2.86% in 2007, and the average balance of
interest-bearing liabilities decreased $32,000, with interest expense increasing
by $13,000. The interest rate spread between interest earning assets
and interest bearing liabilities decreased 28 basis points, to 2.81% in 2008,
from 3.09% in 2007.
Provision for Loan
Losses
. During the three months ended March 31, 2008,
management made an additional $40,000 provision for losses on loans, based on
its quarterly evaluation of the level of the allowance necessary to absorb
probable incurred loan losses at March 31, 2008. Management
considers changes in delinquencies, changes in the composition and volume of
loans, historical loan loss experience, general economic and real estate market
conditions, as well as peer group data, when determining the level on the
allowance for loan losses.
During
the three months ended March 31, 2008, non-performing (non-accrual) loans
increased to $1.7 million, from $259,000 at December 31,
2007. Loans delinquent 60-89 days were $2.6 million at March 31,
2008, approximately the same as they were at December 31,
2007. The loan portfolio decreased $765,000, or 1.4%, to $52.3
million at March 31, 2008, from $53.0 million at December 31,
2007. During this period, one- to four-family residential mortgage
loans decreased $575,000, or 1.7%, and multi-family residential mortgage loans
decreased $186,000, or 1.0%. There were no loan charge-offs during
the first quarters of 2008 or 2007. At March 31, 2008, the
allowance for loan losses was $330,000, or 0.63% of loans receivable, compared
to $290,000, or 0.54% of loans receivable at December 31,
2007. In a similar evaluation of the allowance for loan losses at
March 31, 2007, management determined that there was a need for a $10,000
provision for the three months then ended.
Non-interest
Income
. Non-interest income decreased $6,000, to $3,000 for
the three month period ended March 31, 2008, compared to $9,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 2007. The decrease was due to an $8,000
fair value adjustment to various mutual funds carried as trading securities and
accounted for under FASB Statement No. 159,
The Fair Value Option for Financial
Assets and Financial Liabilities,
which was adopted for these mutual
funds on January 1, 2008.
Non-interest
Expense
. Non-interest expense increased $13,000, or 2.1%, to
$628,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, from $615,000 for the
same quarter last year. Compensation and employee benefits increased
$28,000, or 8.1%, to $373,000 in 2008, from $345,000 in 2007, primarily due to
salary increases in the ordinary course of business and to a $10,000 increase in
the amortization of stock grant and stock option expense.
Occupancy
costs decreased $3,000, or 7.0%, to $40,000 in 2008, from $43,000 in
2007. Data processing fees decreased $2,000, or 7.1%, to $26,000,
from $28,000 in 2007. Professional fees, including legal, accounting
and consulting fees, decreased $13,000, or 10.0%, to $117,000 in 2008, from
$130,000 in 2007. Miscellaneous expenses increased $3,000, or 4.4%,
to $72,000 for the first quarter of 2008, from $69,000 for the first quarter of
2007.
The
Company’s ratio of non-interest expense to average assets increased to 3.40% in
the first quarter of 2008, from 3.27% in 2007, and its efficiency ratio was
89.2% in 2008, compared to 79.4% in 2007.
Income Tax
Expense
. The provision for income taxes decreased $52,000, to
$13,000 in 2008, from $65,000 in 2007, largely due to the $122,000 decrease in
pre-tax income to $28,000 in 2008, from $150,000 in 2007. The
effective tax rate for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, increased to
46.4%, compared to 43.3% for this quarter last year. The increase in
the effective rate was due primarily to nondeductible expenses associated with
stock benefit plans.
Average
Balance Sheet
The
following table sets forth average balance sheets, average annualized yields and
costs, and certain other information for the three months ended March 31,
2008 and 2007. No tax-equivalent yield adjustments were made, as
their effects were not material. All average balances are based on an
average of daily balances. Non-accrual loans are included in the
computation of average balances, but have been reflected in the table as loans
carrying a zero yield. The yields set forth below include the effect
of deferred fees, discounts and premiums that are amortized or accreted to
interest income or expense.

Liquidity
and Capital Resources
We
maintain liquid assets at levels we consider adequate to meet our liquidity
needs. We adjust our liquidity levels to fund deposit outflows, pay
real estate taxes on mortgage loans, repay our borrowings and to fund loan
commitments. We also adjust liquidity as appropriate to meet asset
and liability management objectives.
Our
primary sources of liquidity are deposits, amortization and prepayment of loans,
maturities of investment securities and other short-term investments, and
earnings and funds provided from operations.
While
scheduled principal repayments on loans are a relatively predictable source of
funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by market
interest rates, economic conditions, and rates offered by our
competition. We set the interest rates on our deposits to maintain a
desired level of total deposits. In addition, we invest excess funds
in short-term interest-earning assets, which provide liquidity to meet lending
requirements.
A portion
of our liquidity consists of cash and cash equivalents, which are a product of
our operating, investing and financing activities. At March 31,
2008, $3.7 million of our assets were invested in cash and cash
equivalents. Our primary sources of cash are principal repayments on
loans, proceeds from the calls and maturities of investment securities,
increases in deposit accounts, and FHLB advances. Our cash flows are
derived from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities
as reported in our consolidated statements of cash flows.
Our
primary investing activities are the origination of loans and the purchase of
investment securities. During the three months ended March 31,
2008, collected principal payments exceeded our originations by
$740,000. During the three months ended March 31, 2007, net loan
originations totaled $1.7 million. We do not sell
loans. Cash received from principal repayments, calls and maturities
of securities totaled $949,000 and $542,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. We did not purchase or
sell any securities during the three months ended March 31, 2008 or
2007.
Deposit
flows are generally affected by the level of interest rates, the interest rates
and products offered by us and by local competitors, and other
factors. There was a net increase in total deposits of $40,000 for
the three months ended March 31, 2008, and a net decrease of $492,000 in
2007.
Liquidity
management is both a daily and long-term function of business
management. If we require funds beyond our ability to generate them
internally, borrowing agreements exist with the Federal Home Loan Bank of
Chicago, which provide an additional source of funds. During the
quarter ended March 31, 2008, the Company borrowed $2.0 million in advances
from the Federal Home Loan Bank, and repaid $2.0 million within the
quarter. Our available borrowing limit at March 31, 2008, was
$12.2 million (an additional $7.2 million).
At
March 31, 2008, we had outstanding commitments to originate loans of
$654,000. At March 31, 2008, certificates of deposit scheduled
to mature in less than one year totaled $19.0 million. Based on prior
experience, management believes that a significant portion of such deposits will
remain with us, although there can be no assurance that this will be the
case. In the event we do not retain a significant portion of our
maturing certificates of deposit, we will have to utilize other funding sources,
such as Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago advances, in order to maintain our
level of assets. Alternatively, we would reduce our level of liquid
assets, such as our cash and cash equivalents. In addition, the cost
of such deposits may be significantly higher if market interest rates are higher
at the time of renewal.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
In the
ordinary course of business, the Company is a party to credit-related financial
instruments with off-balance-sheet risk to meet the financing needs of its
customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend
credit. The Company follows the same credit policies in making
commitments as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.
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. Therefore, the
total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash
requirements.
At
March 31, 2008, the we had outstanding commitments to make loans of
$654,000. At December 31, 2007, the we had outstanding
commitments to make loans of $205,000.
Impact
of Inflation and Changing Prices
Our
financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). GAAP
generally requires the measurement of financial position and operating results
in terms of historical dollars without consideration for changes in the relative
purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The impact of
inflation is reflected in the increased cost of our
operations. Unlike industrial companies, our assets and liabilities
are primarily monetary in nature. As a result, changes in market
interest rates have a greater impact on performance than the effects of
inflation.
Management
of Market Risk
General
. The
majority of our assets and liabilities are monetary in
nature. Consequently, our most significant form of market risk is
interest rate risk. Our assets, consisting primarily of mortgage
loans, have longer maturities than our liabilities, which consist primarily of
deposits. As a result, a principal part of our business strategy is
to manage interest rate risk and reduce the exposure of our net interest income
to changes in market interest rates. Our board of directors has
approved a series of policies for evaluating interest rate risk inherent in our
assets and liabilities; for determining the level of risk that is appropriate
given our business strategy, operating environment, capital, liquidity and
performance objectives; and for managing this risk consistent with these
policies. Senior management regularly monitors the level of interest
rate risk and reports to the board of directors on our compliance with our
asset/liability policies and on our interest rate risk position.
We have
sought to manage our interest rate risk in order to control the exposure of our
earnings and capital to changes in interest rates. During the low
interest rate environment that has existed in recent years, we have managed our
interest rate risk by maintaining a high equity-to-assets ratio and building and
maintaining portfolios of shorter-term fixed rate residential loans and second
mortgage loans. By maintaining a high equity-to-assets ratio, we
believe that we are better positioned to absorb more interest rate risk in order
to improve our net interest margin. However, maintaining high equity
balances reduces our return on equity ratio, and investments in shorter-term
assets generally bear lower yields than longer-term investments.
Net Portfolio
Value
. In past years, many savings institutions have measured
interest rate sensitivity by computing the “gap” between the assets and
liabilities that are expected to mature or reprice within certain time periods,
based on assumptions regarding loan prepayment and deposit decay rates formerly
provided by the OTS. However, the OTS now requires the computation of
amounts by which the net present value of an institution’s cash flow from
assets, liabilities and off balance sheet items (the institution’s net portfolio
value or “NPV”) would change in the event of a range of assumed changes in
market interest rates. The OTS provides all institutions that file a
Consolidated Maturity/Rate Schedule as a part of their quarterly Thrift
Financial Report with an interest rate sensitivity report of net portfolio
value. The OTS simulation model uses a discounted cash flow analysis
and an option-based pricing approach to measuring the interest rate sensitivity
of net portfolio value. Historically, the OTS model estimated the
economic value of each type of asset, liability and off-balance sheet contract
under the assumption that the United States Treasury yield curve increases or
decreases instantaneously by 100 to 300 basis points in 100 basis point
increments. A basis point equals one-hundredth of one percent, and
100 basis points equals one percent. An increase in interest rates
from 3% to 4% would mean, for
example,
a 100 basis point increase in the “Change in Interest Rates” column
below. The OTS provides us the results of the interest rate
sensitivity model, which is based on information we provide to the OTS to
estimate the sensitivity of our net portfolio value.
The table
below sets forth, as of December 31, 2007, the latest date available, the
estimated changes in our NPV and our net interest income that would result from
the designated instantaneous changes in the U.S. Treasury yield
curve. Computations of prospective effects of hypothetical interest
rate changes are based on numerous assumptions including relative levels of
market interest rates, loan prepayments and deposit decay, and should not be
relied upon as indicative of actual results.

The table
above indicates that at December 31, 2007, in the event of a 200 basis
point decrease in interest rates, we would experience a 12% increase in net
portfolio value. In the event of a 200 basis point increase in
interest rates, we would experience a 15% decrease in net portfolio
value.
Certain
shortcomings are inherent in the methodology used in the above interest rate
risk measurement. Modeling changes in net portfolio value requires
making certain assumptions that may or may not reflect the manner in which
actual yields and costs respond to changes in market interest
rates. In this regard, the net portfolio value table presented
assumes that the composition of our interest-sensitive assets and liabilities
existing at the beginning of a period remains constant over the period being
measured and assumes that a particular change in interest rates is reflected
uniformly across the yield curve regardless of the duration or repricing of
specific assets and liabilities. Accordingly, although the net
portfolio value table provides an indication of our interest rate risk exposure
at a particular point in time, such measurements do not provide a precise
forecast of the effect of changes in market interest rates on net interest
income and will differ from actual results.
