SOUTHERN MISSOURI BANCORP, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
Note 1: Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all material adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of June 30, 2011, has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of that date. Operating results for the three- and six-month periods ended December 31, 2011, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year. For additional information, refer to the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s June 30, 2011, Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Southern Bank (Bank). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Note 2: Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization. Southern Missouri Bancorp, Inc., a Missouri corporation (the Company) was organized in 1994 and is the parent company of Southern Bank (the Bank). Substantially all of the Company’s consolidated revenues are derived from the operations of the Bank, and the Bank represents substantially all of the Company’s consolidated assets and liabilities.
The Bank is primarily engaged in providing a full range of banking and financial services to individuals and corporate customers in its market areas. The Bank and Company are subject to competition from other financial institutions. The Bank and Company are subject to regulation by certain federal and state agencies and undergo periodic examinations by those regulatory authorities.
Basis of Financial Statement Presentation. The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and general practices within the banking industry. In the normal course of business, the Company encounters two significant types of risk: economic and regulatory. Economic risk is comprised of interest rate risk, credit risk, and market risk. The Company is subject to interest rate risk to the degree that its interest-bearing liabilities reprice on a different basis than its interest-earning assets. Credit risk is the risk of default on the Company’s investment or loan portfolios resulting from the borrowers’ inability or unwillingness to make contractually required payments. Market risk reflects changes in the value of the investment portfolio, collateral underlying loans receivable, and the value of the Company’s investments in real estate.
Principles of Consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, the Bank. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, estimated fair values of purchased loans, other-than-temporary impairments (OTTI), and fair value of financial instruments.
Cash and Cash Equivalents. For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash, due from depository institutions and interest-bearing deposits in other depository institutions with original maturities of three months or less. Interest-bearing deposits in other depository institutions were $114,820,000 and $30,690,000 at December 31, 2011, and June 30, 2011, respectively. The deposits are held in various commercial banks in amounts not exceeding the FDIC’s deposit insurance limits, as well as at the Federal Reserve, the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines, and the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas.
Available for Sale Securities. Available for sale securities, which include any security for which the Company has no immediate plan to sell but which may be sold in the future, are carried at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, are
reported in accumulated other comprehensive income, a component of stockholders’ equity. All securities have been classified as available for sale.
Premiums and discounts on debt securities are amortized or accreted as adjustments to income over the estimated life of the security using the level yield method. Realized gains or losses on the sale of securities is based on the specific identification method. The fair value of securities is based on quoted market prices or dealer quotes. If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities.
The Company does not invest in collateralized mortgage obligations that are considered high risk.
When the Company does not intend to sell a debt security, and it is more likely than not the Company will not have to sell the security before recovery of its cost basis, it recognizes the credit component of an other-than-temporary impairment of a debt security in earnings and the remaining portion in other comprehensive income. As a result, the Company’s balance sheet as of the dates presented reflects the full impairment (that is, the difference between the security’s amortized cost basis and fair value) on debt securities that the Company intends to sell or would more likely than not be required to sell before the expected recovery of the amortized cost basis. For available-for-sale debt securities that management has no intent to sell and believes that it more likely than not will not be required to sell prior to recovery, only the credit loss component of the impairment is recognized in earnings, while the noncredit loss is recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income. The credit loss component recognized in earnings is identified as the amount of principal cash flows not expected to be received over the remaining term of the security as projected based on cash flow projections.
Federal Reserve Bank and Federal Home Loan Bank Stock. The Bank is a member of the Federal Reserve and the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) systems. Capital stock of the Federal Reserve and the FHLB is a required investment based upon a predetermined formula and is carried at cost.
Loans. Loans are generally stated at unpaid principal balances, less the allowance for loan losses and net deferred loan origination fees.
Interest on loans is accrued based upon the principal amount outstanding. The accrual of interest on loans is discontinued when, in management’s judgment, the collectibility of interest or principal in the normal course of business is doubtful. The Company complies with regulatory guidance which indicates that loans should be placed in nonaccrual status when 90 days past due, unless the loan is both well-secured and in the process of collection. A loan that is “in the process of collection” may be subject to legal action or, in appropriate circumstances, through other collection efforts reasonably expected to result in repayment or restoration to current status in the near future. A loan is considered delinquent when a payment has not been made by the contractual due date. Interest income previously accrued but not collected at the date a loan is placed on nonaccrual status is reversed against interest income. Cash receipts on a nonaccrual loan are applied to principal and interest in accordance with its contractual terms unless full payment of principal is not expected, in which case cash receipts, whether designated as principal or interest, are applied as a reduction of the carrying value of the loan. A nonaccrual loan is generally returned to accrual status when principal and interest payments are current, full collectability of principal and interest is reasonably assured, and a consistent record of performance has been demonstrated.
The allowance for losses on loans represents management’s best estimate of losses probable in the existing loan portfolio. The allowance for losses on loans is increased by the provision for losses on loans charged to expense and reduced by loans charged off, net of recoveries. Loans are charged off in the period deemed uncollectible, based on management’s analysis of expected cash flow (for non-collateral dependent loans) or collateral value (for collateral-dependent loans). Subsequent recoveries of loans previously charged off, if any, are credited to the allowance when received. The provision for losses on loans is determined based on management’s assessment of several factors: reviews and evaluations of specific loans, changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions and the related impact on specific borrowers and industry groups, historical loan loss experience, the level of classified and nonperforming loans and the results of regulatory examinations.
Loans are considered impaired if, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Depending on a particular loan’s circumstances, we measure impairment of a loan based upon either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s observable market price, or the fair value of the collateral less estimated costs to sell if the loan is collateral dependent. Valuation allowances are established for collateral-dependent impaired loans for the difference between the loan amount and fair value of collateral less estimated selling costs. For impaired loans that are not collateral dependent, a valuation allowance is established for the difference between the loan amount and the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the historical effective interest rate or the observable market price of the loan. Impairment losses are recognized through an increase in the required allowance for loan
losses. Cash receipts on loans deemed impaired are recorded based on the loan’s separate status as a nonaccrual loan or an accrual loan.
As a result of the acquisition of the former First Southern Bank, Batesville, Arkansas, the Company acquired certain loans with an outstanding principal balance of $14.2 million for which it was deemed probable that we would be unable to collect all contractually required payments. These loans are accounted for in accordance with ASC 310-30, Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality. The Company recorded a fair value discount of $3.9 million related to these loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality (“purchased credit impaired loans”), and began carrying them at a value of $10.3 million. For these loans, we determined the contractual amount and timing of undiscounted principal and interest payments (the “undiscounted contractual cash flows”), and estimated the amount and timing of undiscounted expected principal and interest payments, including expected prepayments (the “undiscounted expected cash flows”). Under acquired impaired loan accounting, the difference between the undiscounted contractual cash flows and the undiscounted expected cash flows is the nonaccretable difference. The nonaccretable difference is an estimate of the loss exposure of principal and interest related to the purchased credit impaired loans, and the amount is subject to change over time based on the performance of the loans. The carrying value of purchased credit impaired loans is initially determined as the discounted expected cash flows. The excess of expected cash flows at acquisition over the initial fair value of the purchased credit impaired loans is referred to as the “accretable yield” and is recorded as interest income over the estimated life of the acquired loans using the level-yield method, if the timing and amount of the future cash flows is reasonably estimable. The carrying value of purchased credit impaired loans is reduced by payments received, both principal and interest, and increased by the portion of the accretable yield recognized as interest income. Subsequent to acquisition, the Company evaluates the purchased credit impaired loans on a quarterly basis. Increases in expected cash flows compared to those previously estimated increase the accretable yield and are recognized as interest income prospectively. Decreases in expected cash flows compared to those previously estimated decrease the accretable yield and may result in the establishment of an allowance for loan losses and a provision for loan losses. Purchased credit impaired loans are generally considered accruing and performing loans, as the loans accrete interest income over the estimated life of the loan when expected cash flows are reasonably estimable. Accordingly, purchased credit impaired loans that are contractually past due are still considered to be accruing and performing as long as there is an expectation that the estimated cash flows will be received. If the timing and amount of cash flows is not reasonably estimable, the loans may be classified as nonaccrual loans.
Loan fees and certain direct loan origination costs are deferred, and the net fee or cost is recognized as an adjustment to interest income using the interest method over the contractual life of the loans.
Foreclosed Real Estate. Real estate acquired by foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure is initially recorded at fair value less estimated selling costs. Costs for development and improvement of the property are capitalized.
Valuations are periodically performed by management, and an allowance for losses is established by a charge to operations if the carrying value of a property exceeds its estimated fair value, less estimated selling costs.
Loans to facilitate the sale of real estate acquired in foreclosure are discounted if made at less than market rates. Discounts are amortized over the fixed interest period of each loan using the interest method.
Premises and Equipment. Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and include expenditures for major betterments and renewals. Maintenance, repairs, and minor renewals are expensed as incurred. When property is retired or sold, the retired asset and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss taken into income. The Company reviews property and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment loss recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the assets.
Depreciation is computed by use of straight-line and accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Estimated lives are generally 10 to 40 years for premises, and five to seven years for equipment.
Intangible Assets. The Company’s gross amount of intangible assets at December 31, 2011, and June 30, 2011, was $4.7 million with accumulated amortization of $3.0 million and $2.9 million, respectively. The Company’s intangible assets are being amortized over periods ranging from five to fifteen years, with amortization expense expected to be approximately $417,000 per year over the next three fiscal years.
Income Taxes. The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with income tax accounting guidance (ASC 740, Income Taxes). The income tax accounting guidance results in two components of income tax expense: current and deferred. Current income tax expense reflects taxes to be paid or refunded for the current period by applying the provisions of the enacted tax law to the taxable income or excess of deductions over revenues. The Company determines deferred income taxes
using the liability (or balance sheet) method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is based on the tax effects of the differences between the book and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and enacted changes in tax rates and laws are recognized in the period in which they occur.
Deferred income tax expense results from changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities between periods. Deferred tax assets are recognized if it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the tax position will be realized or sustained upon examination. The term more likely than not means a likelihood of more than 50 percent; the terms examined and upon examination also include resolution of the related appeals or litigation processes, if any. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is initially and subsequently measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. The determination of whether or not a tax position has met the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold considers the facts, circumstances, and information available at the reporting date and is subject to management’s judgment. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of evidence available, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized.
The Company recognizes interest and penalties on income taxes as a component of income tax expense.
The Company files consolidated income tax returns with its subsidiary.
Incentive Plan. The Company accounts for its management recognition plan (MRP) in accordance with ASC 718, “Share-Based Payment.” The aggregate purchase price of all shares owned by the incentive plan is reflected as a reduction of stockholders’ equity. Compensation expense is based on the market price of the Company’s stock on the date the shares are granted and is recorded over the vesting period. The difference between the aggregate purchase price and the fair value on the date the shares are considered earned is recorded as an adjustment to additional paid in capital.
Outside Directors’ Retirement. The Bank adopted a directors’ retirement plan in April 1994 for outside directors. The directors’ retirement plan provides that each non-employee director (participant) shall receive, upon termination of service on the Board on or after age 60, other than termination for cause, a benefit in equal annual installments over a five year period. The benefit will be based upon the product of the participant’s vesting percentage and the total Board fees paid to the participant during the calendar year preceding termination of service on the Board. The vesting percentage shall be determined based upon the participant’s years of service on the Board.
In the event that the participant dies before collecting any or all of the benefits, the Bank shall pay the participant’s beneficiary. No benefits shall be payable to anyone other than the beneficiary, and shall terminate on the death of the beneficiary.
Stock Options. With limited exceptions, the amount of compensation cost is measured based on the grant-date fair value of the equity instruments issued. Compensation cost is recognized over the vesting period during which an employee provides service in exchange for the award. Stock-based compensation has been recognized for all stock options granted or modified after July 1, 2005. In addition, stock options not vested on July 1, 2005, were recognized in expense over their remaining vesting period.
Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings per share available to common stockholders is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share available to common stockholders includes the effect of all weighted-average dilutive potential common shares (stock options and warrants) outstanding during each period.
Comprehensive Income. Comprehensive income consists of net income and other comprehensive income, net of applicable income taxes. Other comprehensive income includes unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on available-for-sale securities, unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on available-for-sale securities for which a portion of an other-than-temporary impairment has been recognized in income, and changes in the funded status of defined benefit pension plans.
Treasury Stock. Treasury stock is stated at cost. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out method.
Reclassification. Certain amounts included in the consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2012 presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net income.
The following paragraphs summarize the impact of new accounting pronouncements:
In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-08 to amend FASB ASC Topic 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, to simplify how entities test goodwill for impairment. The amendment permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to further perform the two-step goodwill impairment test described in Topic 350. The amendments are effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 2011. The Company is evaluating the ASU, but does not anticipate that it will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05 to amend FASB ASC Topic 220, Comprehensive Income: Presentation of Comprehensive Income. The purpose of the Update is to improve the comparability, consistency and transparency of financial reporting related to other comprehensive income. It eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. Instead, the components of other comprehensive income must either be presented with net income in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or as a separate but consecutive statement following the statement of operations. Regardless of which method is used, adjustments for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income must be presented on the face of the financial statements. The Update is effective on a retrospective basis for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011, and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. The effective date for the amendment to the presentation of reclassifications of items out of accumulated other comprehensive income has now been deferred by ASU No. 2011-12, issued in December 2011.
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04 to amend FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement: Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. The Update amends the GAAP requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosures about fair value measurements to improve consistency between GAAP and IFRSs by changing some of the wording used to describe the requirements, clarifying the intended application of certain requirements and changing certain principles. The Update is effective on a prospective basis for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011, and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-03 to amend FASB ASC Topic 860, Transfers and Servicing. ASC 860 outlines when the transfer of financial assets under a repurchase agreement may or may not be accounted for as a sale. Whether the transferring entity maintains effective control over the transferred financial assets provides the basis for such a determination. The previous requirement that the transferor must have the ability to repurchase or redeem the financial assets before the maturity of the agreement is removed from the assessment of effective control by this Update. The Update is effective on a prospective basis for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011, and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-02, “A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring is a Troubled Debt Restructuring.” The provisions of ASU No. 2011-02 provide additional guidance related to determining whether a creditor has granted a concession, include factors and examples for creditors to consider in evaluating whether a restructuring results in a delay in payment that is insignificant, prohibit creditors from using the borrower’s effective rate test to evaluate whether a concession has been granted to the borrower, and add factors for creditors to use in determining whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulties. A provision in ASU No. 2011-02 also ends the FASB’s deferral of the additional disclosures about troubled debt restructurings as required by ASU No. 2010-20. The provisions of ASU No. 2011-02 are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after June 15, 2011. The adoption of ASU 2011-02 has not had a material impact on the Company’s financial statements, although it did result in the classification of credits as troubled debt restructurings. In general, these loans were classified credits for which an impairment evaluation would have already been conducted.
In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2010-06, “Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures (Topic 820) – Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements.” ASU 2010-06 amends the fair value disclosure guidance. The amendments include new disclosures and changes to clarify existing disclosure requirements. ASU 2010-06 was effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements of Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Adoption of this update did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
Note 3: Fair Value Measurements
ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements, defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Topic 820 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 in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in active markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities
Level 3 Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities
Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis and recognized in the accompanying balance sheet, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.
Available-for-sale Securities. Available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Available-for-sale securities is the only balance sheet category our Company is required, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP), to carry at fair value on a recurring basis. When quoted market prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1. The Company does not have Level 1 securities. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated using pricing models or quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics. For these securities, our Company obtains fair value measurements from an independent pricing service. The fair value measurements consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and the bond’s terms and conditions, among other things. Level 2 securities include U.S. Government-sponsored enterprises, state and political subdivisions, other securities and mortgage-backed GSE residential securities. In certain cases where Level 1 or Level 2 inputs are not available, securities are classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy.

The following is a description of valuation methodologies used for financial assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at December 31, 2011.
Impaired Loans (Collateral Dependent). A collateral dependent loan is considered to be impaired when it is probable that all of the principal and interest due may not be collected according to its contractual terms. Generally, when a collateral dependent loan is considered impaired, the amount of reserve required is measured based on the fair value of the underlying collateral. The
Company makes such measurements on all material collateral dependent loans deemed impaired using the fair value of the collateral for collateral dependent loans. The fair value of collateral used by the Company is determined by obtaining an observable market price or by obtaining an appraised value from an independent, licensed or certified appraiser, using observable market data. This data includes information such as selling price of similar properties and capitalization rates of similar properties sold within the market, expected future cash flows or earnings of the subject property based on current market expectations, and other relevant factors. In addition, management applies selling and other discounts to the underlying collateral value to determine the fair value. If an appraised value is not available, the fair value of the collateral dependent impaired loan is determined by an adjusted appraised value including unobservable cash flows.
On a quarterly basis, loans classified as special mention, substandard, doubtful, or loss are evaluated including the loan officer’s review of the collateral and its current condition, the Company’s knowledge of the current economic environment in the market where the collateral is located, and the Company’s recent experience with real estate in the area. The date of the appraisal is also considered in conjunction with the economic environment and any decline in the real estate market since the appraisal was obtained. For all loan types, updated appraisals are obtained if considered necessary. Of the Company’s $8.5 million (outstanding balance) in impaired loans (collateral-dependent) at December 31, 2011, the Company utilized a real estate appraisal performed in the past 12 months to serve as the primary basis of our valuation for approximately $799,000. Older real estate appraisals were available for impaired loans with an outstanding balance of approximately $4.8 million. For impaired loans totaling $36,000, an observable market price within the last 12 months was utilized. The remaining $2.8 million was secured by collateral such as closely-held stock or an assignment of notes receivable. In instances where the economic environment has worsened and/or the real estate market declined since the last appraisal, a higher distressed sale discount would be applied to the appraised value.
The Company records collateral dependent impaired loans based on nonrecurring Level 3 inputs. If a collateral dependent loan’s fair value, as estimated by the Company, is less than its carrying value, the Company either records a charge-off of the portion of the loan that exceeds the fair value or establishes a specific reserve as part of the allowance for loan losses.
Foreclosed and Repossessed Assets Held for Sale. Foreclosed and repossessed assets held for sale are valued at the time the loan is foreclosed upon or collateral is repossessed and the asset is transferred to foreclosed or repossessed assets held for sale. The value of the asset is based on third party or internal appraisals, less estimated costs to sell and appropriate discounts, if any. The appraisals are generally discounted based on current and expected market conditions that may impact the sale or value of the asset and management’s knowledge and experience with similar assets. Such discounts typically may be significant and result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value of these assets. Foreclosed and repossessed assets held for sale are continually evaluated for additional impairment and are adjusted accordingly if impairment is identified.
The following tables present the fair value measurement of assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during the period and the level within the ASC 820 fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements fell at December 31, 2011, and June 30, 2011:

ASC 825, formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” requires all entities to disclose the estimated fair value of their financial instrument assets and liabilities. For the Company, as for most financial institutions, the majority of its assets and liabilities are considered financial instruments as defined in ASC 825. Many of the Company’s financial instruments, however, lack an available trading market as characterized by a willing buyer and willing seller engaging in an exchange transaction. It is also the Company’s general practice and intent to hold its financial instruments to maturity and to not engage in trading or sales activities except for loans held-for-sale and available-for-sale securities. Therefore, significant estimations and assumptions, as well as present value calculations, were used by the Company for the purposes of this disclosure.
Estimated fair values have been determined by the Company using the best available data and an estimation methodology suitable for each category of financial instruments. For those loans and deposits with floating interest rates, it is presumed that estimated fair values generally approximate the recorded book balances.
The estimated methodologies used, the estimated fair values, and the recorded book balances at December 31, 2011, and June 30, 2011, were as follows:

The following methods and assumptions were used in estimating the fair values of financial instruments:
Cash and cash equivalents and interest-bearing time deposits are valued at their carrying amounts, which approximates book value. Stock in FHLB and the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis is valued at cost, which approximates fair value. Fair value of loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities. Loans with similar characteristics are aggregated for purposes of the calculations. The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate their fair values.
The fair value of fixed-maturity time deposits is estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities. The value of non-maturity deposits is estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis that applies the rates currently offered for similar products over the expected life of the deposits as defined by “decay rates” for similar products published by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. The carrying amounts of securities sold under agreements to repurchase approximate fair value. Fair value of advances from the FHLB is estimated by discounting maturities using an estimate of the current market for similar instruments. The fair value of subordinated debt is estimated using rates currently available to the Company for debt with similar terms and maturities. The fair value of commitments to originate loans is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counterparties. For fixed-rate loan commitments, fair value also considers the difference between current levels of interest rates and committed rates. The fair value of letters of credit and lines of credit are based on fees currently charged for similar agreements or on the estimated cost to terminate or otherwise settle the obligations with the counterparties at the reporting date.

U.S. government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs). The unrealized losses on the Company’s investments in direct obligations of U.S. government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs) were caused by interest rate increases. The contractual terms of those investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the amortized cost bases of the investments. Because the Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2011.
Obligations of state and political subdivisions. The unrealized losses on the Company’s investments in securities of state and political subdivisions were caused by interest rate increases. The contractual terms of those investments do not permit the issuer to settle the securities at a price less than the amortized cost bases of the investments. Because the Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider those investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2011.
Other securities. At December 31, 2011, there were four pooled trust preferred securities with an estimated fair value of $343,000 and unrealized losses of $1.2 million in a continuous unrealized loss position for twelve months or more. These unrealized losses were primarily due to the long-term nature of the pooled trust preferred securities, a lack of demand or inactive market for these securities, and concerns regarding the financial institutions that have issued the underlying trust preferred securities.
The December 31, 2011, cash flow analysis for three of these securities showed it is probable the Company will receive all contracted principal and related interest projected. The cash flow analysis used in making this determination was based on anticipated default and recovery rates, amounts of prepayments, and the resulting cash flows were discounted based on the yield anticipated at the time the securities were purchased. Other inputs include the actual collateral attributes, which include credit ratings and other performance indicators of the underlying financial institutions, including profitability, capital ratios, and asset quality. Assumptions for these three securities included prepayments by June 2013 by all issuers of asset size greater than $15 billion, to account for the lack of favorable capital treatment under the Dodd-Frank regulatory reform bill; prepayments of 5% every five years thereafter, to account for isolated prepayments; no recoveries on issuers currently in default; recoveries of 27% to 30% on currently deferred issuers within the next two years; no net new deferrals for the next two years; and annual defaults of 36 basis points (with 10% recoveries, lagged two years) thereafter.
One of these three securities continues to receive cash interest payments in full and our cash flow analysis indicates that these payments are likely to continue. Because the Company does not intend to sell this security and it is not more-likely-than-not that the Company will be required to sell the security prior to recovery of its amortized cost basis, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider this investment to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2011.
For the other two of these three securities, the Company is receiving principal-in-kind (PIK), in lieu of cash interest. These securities all allow, under the terms of the issue, for issuers to defer interest for up to five consecutive years. After five years, if not cured, the securities are considered to be in default and the trustee may demand payment in full of principal and accrued interest. Issuers are also considered to be in default in the event of the failure of the issuer or a subsidiary. Both deferred and defaulted issuers are considered non-performing, and the trustee calculates, on a quarterly or semi-annual basis, certain coverage tests prior to the payment of cash interest to owners of the various tranches of the securities. The tests must show that performing collateral is sufficient to meet requirements for senior tranches, both in terms of cash flow and collateral value, before cash interest can be paid to subordinate tranches. If the tests are not met, available cash flow is diverted to pay down the principal balance of senior tranches until the coverage tests are met, before cash interest payments to subordinate tranches may resume. The Company is receiving PIK for these two securities due to failure of the required coverage tests described above at senior tranche levels of these securities. The risk to holders of a tranche of a security in PIK status is that the pool’s total cash flow will not be sufficient to repay all principal and accrued interest related to the investment. The impact of payment of PIK to subordinate tranches is to strengthen the position of senior tranches, by reducing the senior tranches’ principal balances relative to available collateral and cash flow, while increasing principal balances, decreasing cash flow, and increasing credit risk to the tranches receiving PIK. For our securities in receipt of PIK, the principal balance is increasing, cash flow has stopped, and, as a result, credit risk is increasing. The Company expects these securities to remain in PIK status for a period of four to eight years. Despite these facts, because the Company does not intend to sell these two securities and it is not more-likely-than-not that the Company will be required to sell these two securities prior to recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2011.
At December 31, 2008, analysis of the fourth pooled trust preferred security indicated other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) and the Company performed further analysis to determine the portion of the loss that was related to credit conditions of the underlying issuers. The credit loss was calculated by comparing expected discounted cash flows based on performance indicators of the underlying assets in the security to the carrying value of the investment. The discounted cash flow was based on anticipated default and recovery rates, and resulting projected cash flows were discounted based on the yield anticipated at
the time the security was purchased. Based on this analysis, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $375,000 for the credit portion of the unrealized loss for this trust preferred security. This loss established a new, lower amortized cost basis of $125,000 for this security, and reduced non-interest income for the second quarter and the twelve months ended June 30, 2009. At December 31, 2011, cash flow analyses showed it is probable the Company will receive all of the remaining cost basis and related interest projected for the security. The cash flow analysis used in making this determination was based similar inputs and factors as those described above. Assumptions for this security included prepayments by June 2013 by all issuers of asset size greater than $15 billion, to account for the lack of favorable capital treatment under the Dodd-Frank regulatory reform bill; prepayments of 5% every five years thereafter, to account for isolated prepayments; no recoveries on issuers currently in default; recoveries of 37% on currently deferred issuers within the next two years; no net new deferrals for the next two years; and annual defaults of 36 basis points (with 10% recoveries, lagged two years) thereafter. This security is in PIK status due to similar criteria and factors as those described above, with similar impact to the Company. This security is projected to remain in PIK status for a period of two years. Because the Company does not intend to sell this security and it is not more-likely-than-not the Company will be required to sell this security before recovery of its new, lower amortized cost basis, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider the remainder of the investment in this security to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2011.
The Company does not believe any other individual unrealized loss as of December 31, 2011, represents OTTI. However, given the continued disruption in the financial markets, the Company may be required to recognize OTTI losses in future periods with respect to its available for sale investment securities portfolio. The amount and timing of any additional OTTI will depend on the decline in the underlying cash flows of the securities. Should the impairment of any of these securities become other-than-temporary, the cost basis of the investment will be reduced and the resulting loss recognized in the period the other-than-temporary impairment is identified.
Credit losses recognized on investments. As described above, some of the Company’s investments in trust preferred securities have experienced fair value deterioration due to credit losses, but are not otherwise other-than-temporarily impaired. During fiscal 2009, the Company adopted ASC 820, formerly FASB Staff Position 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly.” The following table provides information about the trust preferred security for which only a credit loss was recognized in income and other losses are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) for the six-month period ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.

The Company’s lending activities consist of origination of loans secured by mortgages on one- to four-family residences and commercial and agricultural real estate, construction loans on residential and commercial properties, commercial and agricultural business loans and consumer loans. The Company has also occasionally purchased loan participation interests originated by other lenders and secured by properties generally located in the states of Missouri and Arkansas.
Supervision of the loan portfolio is the responsibility of our Chief Lending Officer. Loan officers have varying amounts of lending authority depending upon experience and types of loans. Loans beyond their authority are presented to the next level of authority, or to one of several lending committees, comprised of lenders and other officers with expertise in the type of loan the committee is authorized to approve. Loans to one borrower (or group of related borrowers), in aggregate, in excess of $1,500,000 require the approval of a majority of the Discount Committee, which consists of all Bank directors, prior to the closing of the loan. All loans are subject to ratification by the full Board of Directors.
The aggregate amount of loans that the Company is permitted to make under applicable federal regulations to any one borrower, including related entities, or the aggregate amount that the Company could have invested in any one real estate project, is based on the Bank's capital levels.
Residential Mortgage Lending. The Company actively originates loans for the acquisition or refinance of one- to four-family residences. These loans are originated as a result of customer and real estate agent referrals, existing and walk-in customers and from responses to the Company’s marketing campaigns.
The Company currently offers both fixed-rate and adjustable-rate mortgage (“ARM”) loans. Substantially all of the one- to four-family residential mortgage originations in the Company's portfolio are located within the Company's primary market area.
The Company generally originates one- to four-family residential mortgage loans in amounts up to 90% of the lower of the purchase price or appraised value of residential property. For loans originated in excess of 80%, the Company charges an interest rate an additional 50 basis points higher, but does not require private mortgage insurance. At December 31, 2011, the outstanding balance of loans originated with a loan-to-value ratio in excess of 80% was $49.9 million, as compared to $45.0 million at June 30, 2011. Originating loans with higher loan-to-value ratios presents additional credit risk to the Company. Consequently, the Company limits this product to borrowers with a favorable credit history and a demonstrable ability to service the debt. The majority of new residential mortgage loans originated by the Company conform to secondary market standards. The interest rates charged on these loans are competitively priced based on local market conditions, the availability of funding, and anticipated profit margins. Fixed and ARM loans originated by the Company are amortized over periods as long as 30 years, but typically are repaid over shorter periods.
Fixed-rate loans secured by one- to four-family residences have contractual maturities up to 30 years, and are generally fully amortizing with payments due monthly. These loans normally remain outstanding for a substantially shorter period of time because of refinancing and other prepayments. A significant change in the interest rate environment can alter the average life of a residential loan portfolio. The one- to four-family fixed-rate loans do not contain prepayment penalties. Most are written using secondary market guidelines.
The Company currently originates ARM loans, which adjust annually after an initial period of one, three or five years. Typically, originated ARM loans secured by owner occupied properties reprice at a margin of 2.75% to 3.00% over the weekly average yield on United States Treasury securities adjusted to a constant maturity of one year (“CMT”). Generally, ARM loans secured by non-owner occupied residential properties reprice at a margin of 3.75% over the CMT index. Current residential ARM loan originations are subject to annual and lifetime interest rate caps and floors. As a consequence of using interest rate caps, initial rates which may be at a premium or discount, and a “CMT” loan index, the interest earned on the Company’s ARMs will react differently to changing interest rates than the Company’s cost of funds.
In underwriting one- to four-family residential real estate loans, the Company evaluates the borrower's ability to meet debt service requirements at current as well as fully indexed rates for ARM loans, as well as the value of the property securing the loan. Most properties securing real estate loans made by the Company have appraisals performed on them by independent fee appraisers approved and qualified by the Board of Directors. The Company generally requires borrowers to obtain title insurance and fire, property and flood insurance (if indicated) in an amount not less than the amount of the loan. Real estate loans originated by the Company generally contain a “due on sale” clause allowing the Company to declare the unpaid principal balance due and payable upon the sale of the security property.
The Company also originates loans secured by multi-family residential properties that are generally located in the Company’s primary market area. The majority of the multi-family residential loans that are originated by the Bank are amortized over periods generally up to 20 years, with balloon maturities of up to five years. Both fixed and adjustable interest rates are offered and it is typical for the Company to include an interest rate “floor” in the loan agreement. Variable rate loans may adjust daily, monthly, quarterly, or annually based on the Wall Street Journal prime interest rate. Generally, multi-family residential loans
do not exceed 85% of the lower of the appraised value or purchase price of the secured property. The Company generally requires a Board-approved independent certified fee appraiser to be engaged in determining the collateral value. As a general rule, the Company requires the unlimited guarantee of all individuals (or entities) owning (directly or indirectly) 20% or more of the stock of the borrowing entity.
The primary risk associated with multi-family loans is the ability of the income-producing property that collateralizes the loan to produce adequate cash flow to service the debt. High unemployment or generally weak economic conditions may result in borrowers having to provide rental rate concessions to achieve adequate occupancy rates. In an effort to reduce these risks, the Bank will evaluate the guarantor’s ability to inject personal funds as a tertiary source of repayment.
Commercial Real Estate Lending. The Company actively originates loans secured by commercial real estate including land (improved, unimproved, and farmland), strip shopping centers, retail establishments and other businesses generally located in the Company’s primary market area.
Most commercial real estate loans originated by the Company generally are based on amortization schedules of up to 20 years with monthly principal and interest payments. Generally, the interest rate received on these loans is fixed for a maturity for up to five years, with a balloon payment due at maturity. Alternatively, for some loans, the interest rate adjusts at least annually after an initial period up to five years, based upon the Wall Street Journal’s published prime rate. The Company typically includes an interest rate “floor” in the loan agreement. Variable rate commercial real estate originations typically adjust daily, monthly, quarterly or annually based on the Wall Street Journal’s published prime rate. Generally, improved commercial real estate loan amounts do not exceed 85% of the lower of the appraised value or the purchase price of the secured property. Agricultural real estate terms offered differ slightly, with amortization schedules of up to 25 years with an 80% loan-to-value ratio, or 30 years with a 75% loan-to-value ratio. Before credit is extended, the Company analyzes the financial condition of the borrower, the borrower's credit history, and the reliability and predictability of the cash flow generated by the property and the value of the property itself. Generally, personal guarantees are obtained from the borrower in addition to obtaining the secured property as collateral for such loans. The Company also generally requires appraisals on properties securing commercial real estate to be performed by a Board-approved independent certified fee appraiser.
Generally, loans secured by commercial real estate involve a greater degree of credit risk than one- to four-family residential mortgage loans. These loans typically involve large balances to single borrowers or groups of related borrowers. Because payments on loans secured by commercial real estate are often dependent on the successful operation or management of the secured property, repayment of such loans may be subject to adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy.
Construction Lending. The Company originates real estate loans secured by property or land that is under construction or development. Construction loans originated by the Company are generally secured by mortgage loans for the construction of owner occupied residential real estate or to finance speculative construction secured by residential real estate, land development, or owner-operated or non-owner occupied commercial real estate.
Speculative construction and land development lending generally affords the Company an opportunity to receive higher interest rates and fees with shorter terms to maturity than those obtainable from residential lending. Nevertheless, construction and land development lending is generally considered to involve a higher level of credit risk than one- to four-family residential lending due to (i) the concentration of principal among relatively few borrowers and development projects, (ii) the increased difficulty at the time the loan is made of accurately estimating building or development costs and the selling price of the finished product, (iii) the increased difficulty and costs of monitoring and disbursing funds for the loan, (iv) the higher degree of sensitivity to increases in market rates of interest and changes in local economic conditions, and (v) the increased difficulty of working out problem loans. Due in part to these risk factors, the Company may be required from time to time to modify or extend the terms of some of these types of loans. In an effort to reduce these risks, the application process includes a submission to the Company of accurate plans, specifications and costs of the project to be constructed. These items are also used as a basis to determine the appraised value of the subject property. Loan amounts are generally limited to 80% of the lesser of current appraised value and/or the cost of construction.
To closely monitor the inherent risks associated with construction loans, the Company will typically utilize maturity periods ranging from 6 to 12 months for these loans. Weather conditions, change orders, availability of materials and/or labor, and other factors may contribute to the lengthening of a project, thus necessitating the need to renew the construction loan at the balloon maturity. Such extensions are typically executed in incremental three month periods to facilitate project completion. The Company’s average term of construction loans is approximately nine months. During construction, loans typically require monthly interest only payments which may allow the Company an opportunity to monitor for early signs of financial difficulty should the borrower fail to make a required monthly payment. Additionally, during the construction phase, the Company typically obtains lien waivers and may have interim inspections completed by an independent third party. This monitoring further allows the Company opportunity to assess risk.
At December 31, 2011, construction loans outstanding included 23 loans, totaling $8.6 million, for which a modification had been agreed to. At June 30, 2011, construction loans outstanding included 24 loans, totaling $2.2 million, for which a modification had been agreed to. All modifications were solely for the purpose of extending the maturity date due to conditions described above. None of these modifications were executed due to financial difficulty on the part of the borrower and, therefore, were not accounted for as TDRs.
Once construction is completed, construction loans may be converted to permanent financing with monthly payments using amortization schedules of up to 30 years on residential and generally up to 20 years on commercial real estate.
Consumer Lending. The Company offers a variety of secured consumer loans, including home equity, direct and indirect automobile loans, second mortgages, mobile home loans and loans secured by deposits. The Company originates substantially all of its consumer loans in its primary market area. Usually, consumer loans are originated with fixed rates for terms of up to five years, with the exception of home equity lines of credit, which are variable, tied to the prime rate of interest and are for a period of ten years.
Home equity lines of credit (HELOCs) are secured with a deed of trust and are issued up to 100% of the appraised value of the property securing the line of credit, less the outstanding balance on the first mortgage. Interest rates on the HELOCs are adjustable and are tied to the current prime interest rate. This rate is obtained from the Wall Street Journal and adjusts on a daily basis. Interest rates are based upon the loan-to-value ratio of the property with better rates given to borrowers with more equity. HELOCs, which are secured by residential properties, are secured by stronger collateral than automobile loans and because of the adjustable rate structure, contain less interest rate risk to the Company. Lending up to 100% of the value of the property presents greater credit risk to the Company. Consequently, the Company limits this product to customers with a favorable credit history. At December 31, 2011, the Company had HELOC balances of $15.7 million outstanding, of which lines of credit up to 80% of the property value at origination represented 85.5% of outstanding balances, and 88.4% of outstanding balances and commitments; lines of credit for more than 80% but not exceeding 90% of the property value at origination represented 13.9% of outstanding balances, and 11.2% of outstanding balances and commitments; and lines of credit in excess of 90% of the property value at origination represented 0.5% of outstanding balances, and 0.4% of outstanding balances and commitments. These figures compared to HELOC balances of $14.0 million at June 30, 2011, of which lines of credit up to 80% of the property value at origination represented 83.7% of outstanding balances, and 87.6% of outstanding balances and commitments; lines of credit for more than 80% but not exceeding 90% of the property value at origination represented 15.7% of outstanding balances, and 11.9% of outstanding balances and commitments; and lines of credit in excess of 90% of the property value at origination represented 0.6% of outstanding balances, and 0.5% of outstanding balances and commitments.
Automobile loans originated by the Company include both direct loans and a smaller amount of loans originated by auto dealers. The Company generally pays a negotiated fee back to the dealer for indirect loans. Typically, automobile loans are made for terms of up to 60 months for new and used vehicles. Loans secured by automobiles have fixed rates and are generally made in amounts up to 100% of the purchase price of the vehicle.
Consumer loan terms vary according to the type and value of collateral, length of contract and creditworthiness of the borrower. The underwriting standards employed for consumer loans include employment stability, an application, a determination of the applicant's payment history on other debts, and an assessment of ability to meet existing and proposed obligations. Although creditworthiness of the applicant is a primary consideration, the underwriting process also includes a comparison of the value of the security, if any, in relation to the proposed loan amount.
Consumer loans may entail greater credit risk than do residential mortgage loans, because they are generally unsecured or are secured by rapidly depreciable or mobile assets, such as automobiles. In the event of repossession or default, there may be no secondary source of repayment or the underlying value of the collateral could be insufficient to repay the loan. 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.
Commercial Business Lending. The Company’s commercial business lending activities encompass loans with a variety of purposes and security, including loans to finance accounts receivable, inventory, equipment and operating lines of credit, including agricultural production and equipment loans.
The Company currently offers both fixed and adjustable rate commercial business loans. Adjustable rate business loans typically reprice daily, monthly, quarterly, or annually, in accordance with the Wall Street Journal’s prime rate of interest. The Company typically includes an interest rate “floor” in the loan agreement.
Commercial business loan terms vary according to the type and value of collateral, length of contract and creditworthiness of the borrower. Generally, commercial loans secured by fixed assets are amortized over periods up to five years, while commercial operating lines of credit or agricultural production lines are generally for a one year period. The Company’s commercial business loans are evaluated based on the loan application, a determination of the applicant's payment history on other debts, business stability and an assessment of ability to meet existing obligations and payments on the proposed loan. Although creditworthiness of the applicant is a primary consideration, the underwriting process also includes a comparison of the value of the security, if any, in relation to the proposed loan amount.
Unlike residential mortgage loans, which generally are made on the basis of the borrower's ability to make repayment from his or her employment and other income, and which are secured by real property whose value tends to be more easily ascertainable, commercial business loans are of higher risk and typically are made on the basis of the borrower's ability to make repayment from the cash flow of the borrower's business. As a result, the availability of funds for the repayment of commercial business loans may be substantially dependent on the success of the business itself. Further, the collateral securing the loans may depreciate over time, may be difficult to appraise and may fluctuate in value based on the success of the business.
The following tables present the balance in the allowance for loan losses and the recorded investment in loans (excluding loans in process and deferred loan fees) based on portfolio segment and impairment methods as of December 31, 2011, and June 30, 2011, and activity in the allowance for loan losses for the three- and six-month periods ended December 31, 2011 and 2010:

Management’s opinion as to the ultimate collectability of loans is subject to estimates regarding future cash flows from operations and the value of property, real and personal, pledged as collateral. These estimates are affected by changing economic conditions and the economic prospects of borrowers.
The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level that, in management’s judgment, is adequate to cover probable credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date. The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when an amount is determined to be uncollectible, based on management’s analysis of expected cash flow (for non-collateral-dependent loans) or collateral value (for collateral-dependent loans). Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.
The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon management’s periodic review of the collectability of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.
The allowance consists of allocated and general components. The allocated component relates to loans that are classified as impaired. For those loans that are classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan.
Under the Company’s methodology, loans are first segmented into 1) those comprising large groups of smaller-balance homogeneous loans, including single-family mortgages and installment loans, which are collectively evaluated for impairment,
and 2) all other loans which are individually evaluated. Those loans in the second category are further segmented utilizing a defined grading system which involves categorizing loans by severity of risk based on conditions that may affect the ability of the borrowers to repay their debt, such as current financial information, collateral valuations, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current trends. The loans subject to credit classification represent the portion of the portfolio subject to the greatest credit risk and where adjustments to the allowance for losses on loans as a result of provisions and charge offs are most likely to have a significant impact on operations.
A periodic review of selected credits (based on loan size and type) is conducted to identify loans with heightened risk or probable losses and to assign risk grades. The primary responsibility for this review rests with loan administration personnel. This review is supplemented with periodic examinations of both selected credits and the credit review process by the Company’s internal audit function and applicable regulatory agencies. The information from these reviews assists management in the timely identification of problems and potential problems and provides a basis for deciding whether the credit represents a probable loss or risk that should be recognized.
A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the scheduled payments of principal or interest will not be able to be collected when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed. Impairment is measured on a loan-by-loan basis for commercial and agricultural loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.
If a loan that is individually evaluated for impairment is found to have none, it is grouped together with loans having similar characteristics (i.e., the same risk grade), and an allowance for loan losses is based upon quantitative and qualitative factors discussed below.
Groups of loans with similar risk characteristics are collectively evaluated for impairment based on the group’s historical loss experience adjusted for changes in trends, conditions and other relevant factors that affect repayment of the loans. Accordingly, individual consumer and residential loans are not separately identified for impairment measurements, unless such loans are the subject of a restructuring agreement due to financial difficulties of the borrower.
The general component covers non-impaired loans and is based on quantitative and qualitative factors. The loan portfolio is stratified into homogeneous groups of loans that possess similar loss characteristics and an appropriate loss ratio adjusted for qualitative factors is applied to the homogeneous pools of loans to estimate the incurred losses in the loan portfolio.
During fiscal 2011, the Company changed its allowance methodology to consider, as the primary quantitative factor, average net charge offs over the most recent twelve-month period. The Company had previously considered average net charge offs over the most recent five-year period as the primary quantitative factor. The impact of the modification was minimal.
Included in the Company’s loan portfolio are certain loans accounted for in accordance with ASC 310-30, Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality. These loans were written down at acquisition to an amount estimated to be collectible. As a result, certain ratios regarding the Company’s loan portfolio and credit quality cannot be used to compare the Company to peer companies or to compare the Company’s current credit quality to prior periods. The ratios particularly affected by accounting under ASC 310-30 include the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans, nonaccrual loans, and nonperforming assets, and nonaccrual loans and nonperforming loans as a percentage of total loans.
The following tables present the credit risk profile of the Company’s loan portfolio (excluding loans in process and deferred loan fees) based on rating category and payment activity as of December 31, 2011, and June 30, 2011. These tables include purchased credit impaired loans, which are reported according to risk categorization after acquisition based on the Company’s standards for such classification:

The above amounts include purchased credit impaired loans. At December 31, 2011, these loans comprised $1.3 million of credits rated “Pass”; $2.5 million of credits rated “Special Mention”; $2.5 million of loans rated “Substandard”; and no credits rated “Doubtful. At June 30, 2011, these loans comprised $2.1 million of credits rated “Pass”; $ 2.4 million of credits rated “Special Mention”; $2.7 million of credits rated “Substandard”; and no credits rated “Doubtful”.
Credit Quality Indicators. The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends among other factors. The Company analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis is performed on all loans at origination, and is updated on a quarterly basis for loans risk rated “Special Mention”, “Substandard”, or “Doubtful”. In addition, lending relationships over $250,000 are subject to an independent loan review following origination, and lending relationships in excess of $2.5 million are subject to an independent loan review annually, as are a sample of lending relationships between $1.0 million and $2.5 million, in order to verify risk ratings.
The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:
Special Mention – Loans classified as special mention warrant more than usual monitoring. Issues may include deteriorating financial condition, payments made after the due date but within 30 days, adverse industry conditions, management problems, or other signs of deterioration that indicate a potential weakening of the institution’s credit position in the future.
Substandard – Loans classified as substandard possess weaknesses that jeopardize the ultimate collection of the principal and interest outstanding. These loans exhibit continued financial losses, ongoing delinquency, overall poor financial condition, and insufficient collateral. 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 of substandard loans, and have deteriorated to the level that there is a high probability of substantial loss.
Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above described process are considered to be Pass rated loans.
The following tables present the Company’s loan portfolio aging analysis (excluding loans in process and deferred loan fees) as of December 31, 2011, and June 30, 2011. These tables include purchased credit impaired loans, which are reported according to aging analysis after acquisition based on the Company’s standards for such classification:

The above amounts include purchased credit impaired loans. At December 31, 2011, these loans comprised no credits 30-59 Days Past Due; $609,000 of credits 60-89 Days Past Due; no credits Greater Than 90 Days Past Due; $609,000 of Total Past Due credits; $5.6 million of credits Current; and no Loans > 90 Days & Accruing. At June 30, 2011, these loans comprised $1.8 million of credits 30-59 Days Past Due; $442,000 of credits 60-89 Days Past Due; $153,000 of credits Greater Than 90 Days Past Due; $2.4 million of Total Past Due credits; $4.7 of credits Current; and $0 of Total Loans > 90 Days & Accruing.
A loan is considered impaired, in accordance with the impairment accounting guidance (ASC 310-10-35-16), when based on current information and events, it is probable the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due from the borrower in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan. Impaired loans include nonperforming loans, as well as performing loans modified in troubled debt restructurings where concessions have been granted to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties. These concessions could include a reduction in the interest rate on the loan, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance or other actions intended to maximize collection.
The tables on the following page present impaired loans as of December 31, 2011, and June 30, 2011. These tables include purchased credit impaired loans. Purchased credit impaired loans are those for which it was deemed probable, at acquisition, that the Company would be unable to collect all contractually required payments receivable. In an instance where, subsequent to the acquisition, the Company determines it is probable, for a specific loan, that cash flows received will exceed the amount previously expected, the Company will recalculate the amount of accretable yield in order to recognize the improved cash flow expectation as additional interest income over the remaining life of the loan. These loans, however, will continue to be reported as impaired loans. In an instance where, subsequent to the acquisition, the Company determines it is probable, for a specific loan, that cash flows received will be less than the amount previously expected, the Company will allocate a specific allowance under the terms of ASC 310-10-35.

The above amounts include purchased credit impaired loans. At December 31, 2011, these loans comprised $5.5 million of impaired loans without a specific valuation allowance; $697,000 of loans with a specific valuation allowance, and $6.2 million of total impaired loans. At June 30, 2011, these loans comprised $6.6 million of impaired loans without a specific valuation allowance; $582,000 of loans with a specific valuation allowance, and $7.2 million of total impaired loans.
Included in certain loan categories in the impaired loans are troubled debt restructurings, where economic concessions have been granted to borrowers who have experienced financial difficulties. These concessions typically result from our loss mitigation activities, and could include reductions in the interest rate, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance, or other actions. Certain TDRs are classified as nonperforming at the time of restructuring and typically are returned to performing status after considering the borrower’s sustained repayment performance for a reasonable period of at least six months.
When loans and leases are modified into a TDR, the Company evaluates any possible impairment similar to other impaired loans based on the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the contractual interest rate of the original loan or lease agreement, and uses the current fair value of the collateral, less selling costs, for collateral dependent loans. If the Company determines that the value of the modified loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan (net of previous charge-offs, deferred loan fees or costs, and unamortized premium or discount), impairment is recognized through an allowance estimate or a charge-off to the allowance. In periods subsequent to modification, the Company evaluates all TDRs, including those that have payment defaults, for possible impairment and recognizes impairment through the allowance.
At December 31, 2011, and June 30, 2011, the Company had $2.2 million and $0, respectively, of commercial real estate loans, and $1.2 million and $0, respectively, of commercial loans that were modified in TDRs and impaired. All loans classified as TDRs at December 31, 2011, and June 30, 2011, were so classified due to interest rate concessions.
Performing loans classified as troubled debt restructurings during the six months ended December 31, 2011, segregated by class, are shown in the table below. Nonperforming TDRs are shown as nonaccrual loans.

As a result of adopting the amendments in ASU No. 2011-02, the Company reassessed all restructurings that occurred on or after the beginning of the current fiscal year (beginning July 1, 2011) for identification as troubled debt restructurings (TDRs). The Company identified as TDRs certain receivables for which the allowance for credit losses had previously been measured under a general allowance for credit losses methodology. Upon identifying those receivables as TDRs, the Company identified them as impaired under the guidance in Section 310-10-35. The amendments in ASU No. 2011-02 require prospective application of the impairment measurement guidance in Section 310-10-35 for those receivables newly identified as impaired. As of December 31, 2011, the recorded investment in receivables for which the allowance for credit losses was previously measured under a general allowance for credit losses methodology and are now impaired under Section 310-10-35 was $3.4 million, and no allowance for credit losses was associated with those receivables on the basis of a current evaluation of loss, and as a result, there was no financial statement impact resulting from the adoption.

Interest income on impaired loans recognized on a cash basis in the three- and six-month periods ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, was immaterial.
For the three- and six-month periods ended December 31, 2011, the amount of interest income recorded for impaired loans that represented a change in the present value of cash flows attributable to the passage of time was approximately $249,000 and $635,000, respectively, as compared to $0 for the three- and six-month periods ended December 31, 2010.
The following table presents the Company’s nonaccrual loans at December 31, 2011, and June 30, 2011. This table includes purchased impaired loans. Purchased credit impaired loans are placed on nonaccrual status in the event the Company cannot reasonably estimate cash flows expected to be collected. The table excludes performing troubled debt restructurings.

The above amount includes purchased credit impaired loans. At December 31, 2011, and June 30, 2011, these loans comprised an immaterial amount and $153,000 of nonaccrual loans, respectively.
At December 31, 2011, troubled debt restructuring loans (TDRs) totaled $3.4 million, of which an immaterial amount was considered nonperforming and was included in the nonaccrual loan table above. The remaining $3.4 million in TDRs have complied with the modified terms for a reasonable period of time and are therefore considered by the Company to be an accrual status loan. In general, these loans were subject to classification as TDRs at December 31, 2011, on the basis of guidance under ASU No. 2011-02, which indicates that the Company may not consider the borrower’s effective borrowing rate on the old debt immediately before the restructuring in determining whether a concession has been granted. At June 30, 2011, the Company had no loans classified as TDRs. The Company has had no TDRs that were restructured in the prior twelve months that have defaulted. The Company defines a default as any loan that becomes 90 days or more past due that was restructured in the prior twelve months.
Note 6: Accounting for Certain Loans Acquired in a Transfer
The Company acquired loans in a transfer during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011. At acquisition, certain transferred loans evidenced deterioration of credit quality since origination and it was probable, at acquisition, that all contractually required payments would not be collected.
Loans purchased with evidence of credit deterioration since origination and for which it is probable that all contractually required payments will not be collected are considered to be credit impaired. Evidence of credit quality deterioration as of the purchase date may include information such as past-due and nonaccrual status, borrower credit scores and recent loan to value percentages. Purchased credit-impaired loans are accounted for under the accounting guidance for loans and debt securities acquired with deteriorated credit quality (ASC 310-30) and initially measured at fair value, which includes estimated future credit losses expected to be incurred over the life of the loan. Accordingly, an allowance for credit losses related to these loans is not carried over and recorded at the acquisition date. Management estimated the cash flows expected to be collected at acquisition using our internal risk models, which incorporate the estimate of current key assumptions, such as default rates, severity and prepayment speeds.
The carrying amount of those loans is included in the balance sheet amounts of loans receivable at December 31, 2011. The amounts of loans at December 31, 2011, are as follows:

During the six month periods ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company increased the allowance for loan losses by a charge to the income statement of $42,000, and $0, respectively, as a result of a decrease in expected cash flows for certain loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality. No allowance for loan losses was reversed for the six-month periods ended December 31, 2011 or 2010.

Tax credit benefits in the amount of $73,000 and $146,000, respectively, were recognized in the three- and six-month periods ended December 31, 2011, equal to the amounts recognized in the three- and six-month periods ended December 31, 2010, under the flow-through method of accounting for investments in tax credits.
Note 11: Stock Option Plans
ASC 718, formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment,” requires that compensation costs related to share-based payment transactions be recognized in financial statements. With limited exceptions, the amount of compensation cost is measured based on the grant-date fair value of the equity instruments issued. Compensation cost is recognized over the vesting period during which an employee provides service in exchange for the award.
Note 12: 401(k) Retirement Plan
The Company established a tax-qualified ESOP in April 1994. During fiscal 2011, the plan was merged with the Company’s 401(k) Retirement Plan (the Plan). The Plan covers substantially all employees who are at least 21 years of age and who have completed one year of service. The Company made a safe harbor non-elective contribution of 3% of eligible compensation for the plan year ended June 30, 2011, and also made additional, discretionary profit-sharing contributions. For fiscal 2011, the Company recorded retirement plan expenses of $385,000. For fiscal 2012, the Company has converted the Plan to provide a safe harbor matching contribution of up to 4% of eligible compensation. Additionally, the Company expects to make additional, discretionary profit-sharing contributions for fiscal 2012. In the three and six-month periods ended December 31, 2011, retirement plan expenses were approximately $105,000 and $205,000, respectively.
Note 13: Corporate Obligated Floating Rate Trust Preferred Securities
Southern Missouri Statutory Trust I issued $7.0 million of Floating Rate Capital Securities (the “Trust Preferred Securities”) in March, 2004, with a liquidation value of $1,000 per share. The securities are due in 30 years, are now redeemable, and bear interest at a floating rate based on LIBOR. The securities represent undivided beneficial interests in the trust, which was established by the Company for the purpose of issuing the securities. The Trust Preferred Securities were sold in a private transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) and have not been registered under the Act. The securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.
Southern Missouri Statutory Trust I used the proceeds from the sale of the Trust Preferred Securities to purchase Junior Subordinated Debentures of the Company. The Company has used its net proceeds for working capital and investment in its subsidiary.
Note 14: Small Business Lending Fund
On July 21, 2011, as part of the Small Business Lending Fund (SBLF) of the United States Department of the Treasury (Treasury), the Company entered into a Small Business Lending Fund-Securities Purchase Agreement (Purchase Agreement) with the Secretary of the Treasury, pursuant to which the Company (i) sold 20,000 shares of the Company’s Senior Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A (SBLF Preferred Stock) to the Secretary of the Treasury for a purchase price of $20,000,000. The SBLF Preferred Stock was issued pursuant to the SBLF program, a $30 billion fund established under the Small Business Jobs Act of 2010 that was created to encourage lending to small business by providing capital to qualified community banks with assets of less than $10 billion.
The SBLF Preferred Stock qualifies as Tier 1 capital. The SBLF Preferred Stock is entitled to receive non-cumulative dividends, payable quarterly, on each January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1, beginning October 1, 2011. The dividend rate, as a percentage of the liquidation amount, can fluctuate on a quarterly basis during the first 10 quarters during which the SBLF Preferred Stock is outstanding, based upon changes in the Bank’s level of Qualified Small Business Lending (QBSL), as defined in the Purchase Agreement. Based upon the increase in the Bank’s level of QBSL over the baseline level calculated under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the dividend rate for the initial dividend period was set at 2.8155%. For the second through ninth calendar quarters, the dividend rate may be adjusted to between one percent (1%) and five percent (5%) per annum, to reflect the amount of change in the Bank’s level of QBSL. The dividend rate for the quarter ended December 31, 2011, was 2.43425%. For the tenth calendar quarter through four and one half years after issuance, the dividend rate will be fixed at between one percent (1%) and seven percent (7%) based upon the increase in QBSL as compared to the baseline. After four and one half years from issuance, the dividend rate will increase to 9% (including a quarterly lending incentive fee of 0.5%).
The SBLF Preferred Stock is non-voting, except in limited circumstances. In the event that the Company misses five dividend payments, the holder of the SBLF Preferred Stock will have the right to appoint a representative as an observer on the Company’s Board of Directors. In the event that the Company misses six dividend payments, then the holder of the SBLF Preferred Stock will have the right to designate two directors to the Board of Directors of the Company.
The SBLF Preferred Stock may be redeemed at any time at the Company’s option, at a redemption price of 100% of the liquidation amount plus accrued but unpaid dividends to the date of redemption for the current period, subject to the approval of its federal banking regulator.
As required by the Purchase Agreement, $9,635,000 of the proceeds from the sale of the SBLF Preferred Stock was used to redeem the 9,550 shares of the Company’s Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A issued in 2008 to the
Treasury in the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP), plus the accrued dividends owed on those preferred shares. As part of the 2008 TARP transaction, the Company issued a ten-year warrant to Treasury to purchase 114,326 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $12.53 per share. The Company has not repurchased the warrant, which is still held by Treasury.
PART I: Item 2: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
SOUTHERN MISSOURI BANCORP, INC.
General
Southern Missouri Bancorp, Inc. (Southern Missouri or Company) is a Missouri corporation and owns all of the outstanding stock of Southern Bank (Bank). The Company’s earnings are primarily dependent on the operations of the Bank. As a result, the following discussion relates primarily to the operations of the Bank. The Bank’s deposit accounts are generally insured up to a maximum of $250,000 by the Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF), which is administered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). As of December 31, 2011, the Bank conducts its business through its home office located in Poplar Bluff, 16 full service branch facilities in Poplar Bluff (2), Van Buren, Dexter, Kennett, Doniphan, Qulin, Sikeston, Matthews, and Springfield, Missouri, and Paragould, Jonesboro, Brookland, Leachville, Batesville, and Searcy, Arkansas, and a loan production office located in Little Rock, Arkansas.
The significant accounting policies followed by Southern Missouri Bancorp, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary for interim financial reporting are consistent with the accounting policies followed for annual financial reporting. All adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature and are in the opinion of management necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods reported, have been included in the accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements.
The consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of June 30, 2011, has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of that date. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K annual report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is intended to assist in understanding the financial condition and results of operations of the Company. The information contained in this section should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The following discussion reviews the Company’s condensed consolidated financial condition at December 31, 2011, and results of operations for the three- and six-month periods ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.

Non-GAAP Disclosures
The following financial measures contain information determined by methods other than in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (commonly referred to as GAAP):
|
·
|
return on average assets excluding the accretion of fair value discount on acquired loans and amortization of fair value premium on assumed time deposits;
|
|
·
|
return on average common equity excluding the accretion of fair value discount on acquired loans and amortization of fair value premium on assumed time deposits;
|
|
·
|
net interest income excluding the accretion of fair value discount on acquired loans and amortization of fair value premium on assumed time deposits;
|
|
·
|
average interest rate spread excluding the accretion of fair value discount on acquired loans and amortization of fair value premium on assumed time deposits;
|
|
·
|
net interest margin excluding the accretion of fair value discount on acquired loans and amortization of fair value premium on assumed time deposits;
|
|
·
|
return on average assets excluding the impact of the bargain purchase gain, net of transaction expenses and tax; and
|
|
·
|
return on average common equity excluding the impact of the bargain purchase gain, net of transaction expenses and tax.
|
These measurers indicate what return on average assets, return on average common equity, net interest income, average interest rate spread, and net interest margin would have been without the impact of the accretion of fair value discount on acquired loans and amortization of fair value premium on assumed time deposits resulting from the December 2010 acquisition of most of the assets and assumption of substantially all of the liabilities of the former First Southern Bank, Batesville, Arkansas (the Acquisition), or what return on average assets and return on average common equity would have been without the impact of the bargain purchase gain, net of transaction expenses and tax, which was recorded as a result of the Acquisition. Management believes that showing these measures excluding these items provides useful information by which to evaluate the Company’s operating performance on an ongoing basis from period to period.
These non-GAAP financial measures are supplemental and are not a substitute for an analysis based on GAAP measures. Because not all companies use identical calculations, these non-GAAP financial measures might not be comparable to other similarly-titled measures as determined and disclosed by other companies. Reconciliations to GAAP of these non-GAAP financial measures presented are set forth below.

Critical Accounting Policies
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America are complex and require management to apply significant judgments to various accounting, reporting and disclosure matters. Management of the Company must use assumptions and estimates to apply these principles where actual measurement is not possible or practical. For a complete discussion of the Company’s significant accounting policies, see “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” in the Company’s 2011 Annual Report. Certain policies are considered critical because they are highly dependent upon subjective or complex judgments, assumptions and estimates. Changes in such estimates may have a significant impact on the financial statements. Management has reviewed the application of these policies with the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors. For a discussion of applying critical accounting policies, see “Critical Accounting Policies” beginning on page 12 in the Company’s 2011 Annual Report.
Executive Summary
Our results of operations depend primarily on our net interest margin, which is directly impacted by the interest rate environment. The net interest margin represents interest income earned on interest-earning assets (primarily mortgage loans, commercial loans and the investment portfolio), less interest expense paid on interest-bearing liabilities (primarily certificates of deposit, savings, interest-bearing demand deposit accounts, repurchase agreements, and borrowed funds), as a percentage of average interest-earning assets. Net interest margin is directly impacted by the spread between long-term interest rates and short-term interest rates, as our interest-earning assets, particularly those with initial terms to maturity or repricing greater than one year, generally price off longer term rates while our interest-bearing liabilities generally price off shorter term interest rates. This difference in longer term and shorter term interest rates is often referred to as the steepness of the yield curve. A steep yield curve – in which the difference in interest rates between short term and long term periods is relatively large – could be beneficial to our net interest income, as the interest rate spread between our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities would be larger. Conversely, a flat or flattening yield curve, in which the difference in rates between short term and long term periods is relatively small or shrinking, or an inverted yield curve, in which short term rates exceed long term rates, could have an adverse impact on our net interest income, as our interest rate spread could decrease.
Our results of operations may also be affected significantly by general and local economic and competitive conditions, particularly those with respect to changes in market interest rates, government policies and actions of regulatory authorities.
On July 21, 2011, the Company sold $20.0 million in non-cumulative preferred stock to the U.S. Treasury as part of the Small Business Lending Fund (SBLF) program. The SBLF preferred stock qualifies as Tier 1 capital. The dividend rate, as a percentage of the liquidation amount, can fluctuate on a quarterly basis during the first 10 quarters during which the SBLF preferred stock is outstanding, based upon changes in the Bank’s level of qualified small business lending. The dividend rate for the initial dividend period was set at 2.8155%. The dividend rate for the quarter ended December 31, 2011, was 2.43425%. For the second through ninth calendar quarters, the dividend rate may be adjusted to between one percent (1%) and five percent (5%) per annum, to reflect the amount of change in the Bank’s level of qualified small business lending. For the tenth calendar quarter through four and one half years after issuance, the dividend rate will be fixed at between one percent (1%) and seven percent (7%) based upon the increase in qualified small business lending. After four and one half years from issuance, the dividend rate will increase to 9% (including a quarterly lending incentive fee of 0.5%). The SBLF Preferred Stock may be redeemed at any time at the Company’s option, at a redemption price of 100% of the liquidation amount plus accrued but unpaid dividends to the date of redemption for the current period, subject to the approval of its federal banking regulator.
As required by the Purchase Agreement, $9.6 million of the proceeds from the sale of the SBLF preferred stock was used to redeem the Company’s preferred stock issued in 2008 to the U.S. Treasury under the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP).
On November 22, 2011, the Company announced the closing of its underwritten public offering of 1,150,000 shares of its common stock at a price to the public of $19.00 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $21.9 million. The net proceeds to the Company after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses were
approximately $19.9 million. The Company expects to use the net proceeds of the offering for general corporate purposes, including the funding of organic loan growth and the purchase of securities by the Bank, the pursuit of strategic acquisition opportunities and the payment of dividends.
During the first six months of fiscal 2012, we grew our balance sheet by $84.4 million. This growth was primarily funded by an increase in deposits and the net additional capital invested in the Company’s common and preferred stock. Asset growth reflected an $11.2 million increase in available-for-sale investments and an $84.7 million increase in cash and cash equivalents, partially offset by a $13.9 million decrease in net loans receivable. Deposits increased $48.9 million, and securities sold under agreements to repurchase increased $4.7 million. The decrease in loan balances was primarily the result of reductions in conventional real estate loans, attributed to elevated prepayments due to refinancing, and commercial loans, including agricultural operating lines which experienced seasonal paydowns during the Company’s second fiscal quarter. Deposit growth was primarily comprised of NOW accounts, noninterest-bearing transaction accounts, and money market deposit accounts, and was partially offset by declines in certificates of deposit and savings accounts. Public unit deposits increased $20.4 million during the six month period, due in part to seasonal flows of funds to local governments.
Net income for the first six months of fiscal 2012 decreased 19.7% to $5.5 million, as compared to $6.9 million earned during the same period of the prior year. After accounting for dividends on preferred stock of $258,000 and a charge of $94,000 for the early redemption of preferred stock issued under the TARP program, net earnings available to common shareholders were $5.2 million in the six-month period ended December 31, 2011, a decrease of 21.9% as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. The decrease in net income compared to the year-ago period was primarily due to the inclusion in the prior period’s results of the bargain purchase gain recorded on the Acquisition. Diluted net income available to common shareholders was $2.12 per share for the first six months of fiscal 2012, as compared to $3.11 per share for the same period of the prior year. For the first six months of fiscal 2012, net interest income increased $5.5 million, or 59.5%; noninterest income decreased $6.7 million, or 76.8%; noninterest expense increased $1.1 million, or 16.9%; provision for loan losses decreased $54,000, or 5.9%; and provision for income taxes decreased $852,000, or 23.6%, as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year. For more information see “Results of Operations.”
Interest rates during the first six months of fiscal 2012 continued to decline from already historical lows. Across the yield curve, rates declined from June 30, 2011 through December 31, 2011, with longer-term rates decreasing the most, as the curve flattened somewhat. Despite this, our average yield on earning assets increased, due to effective rates on acquired loans (see “Results of Operations: Comparison of the three- and six-month periods ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 – Net Interest Income”). Relative to recent historical norms, the curve remained relatively steep, and a steep curve is generally beneficial to the Company. In December 2008, the Federal Reserve cut the targeted Federal Funds rate to a range of 0.00% to 0.25%, and in March 2009, it detailed its plan to purchase long-term mortgage-backed securities, agency debt, and long-term Treasuries. Those purchases ended in the first calendar quarter of 2010, and an additional, smaller quantitative easing program was initiated later in 2010, along with reinvestment of principal repaid under the original program. More recently, the Federal Reserve began indicating dates through which it expected to keep short-term rates near zero, first expressing an expectation that tightening would not occur until at least mid-2013, and then extending that through the end of 2014. It also announced that it would attempt to lower long-term rates by selling some of its short term securities holdings and purchasing securities with longer maturities. In this rate environment, our net interest margin was improved when comparing the first six months of fiscal 2012 to the same period of the prior year; however, much of the improvement was attributed to the Acquisition, whereby the Company acquired loans at a discount that resulted in yields significantly higher than the Company’s legacy interest earning assets. The Company does not expect the full improvement in margin to be maintained; as the acquired loan portfolio pays down, the impact will be reduced and new assets will not be booked at similar spreads. Our net interest margin would have improved exclusive of the Acquisition, as declining loan and investment securities rates were more than offset by a lower cost of funds, as deposit account rates decreased further and fixed-rate FHLB advances matured and were replaced with deposit funding at a lower cost. These improvements in our net interest margin were partially offset by an increase in the average balance of cash and cash equivalents. Aside from the Acquisition, the Company’s strong deposit growth was attributed in large part to the rewards checking product which has been offered at above-market rates, as we took advantage of the favorable rate environment to build market share. Compared to the year ago period, net interest income increased $5.5 million, or 59.5%, during the first six months of fiscal 2012, attributable to improvement in our net interest rate spread and growth in interest-earning assets. The Acquisition contributed to both.
The Company’s net income is also affected by the level of its noninterest income and operating expenses. Non-interest income generally consists primarily of deposit account service charges, bank card network income, loan-related fees, increases in the cash value of bank-owned life insurance, gains on sales of loans, and other general operating income. Operating expenses consist primarily of compensation and employee benefits, occupancy-related expenses, deposit insurance assessments, professional fees, advertising, postage and office expenses, insurance, bank card network expenses, the amortization of intangible assets, and other general operating expenses. During the six-month period ended December 31, 2011, noninterest income decreased $6.7 million, or 76.8%, as compared to the same period of the prior year, due primarily to the bargain purchase gain recorded in the year-ago period as a result of the Acquisition. Noninterest expense increased $1.1 million, or
16.9%, during the first six months of fiscal 2012, compared to the same period of the prior year, due primarily to higher expenses for compensation and benefits, advertising, bank card network fees, postage and office supplies, amortization of intangible assets, occupancy, and miscellaneous expenses, partially offset by declines in legal and professional fees, and deposit insurance premium assessments.
In fiscal 2009, we incurred charges to recognize the other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) of available-for-sale investments related to investments in Freddie Mac preferred stock ($304,000 impairment realized in the first quarter of fiscal 2009) and a pooled trust preferred collateralized debt obligation, Trapeza CDO IV, Ltd., class C2 ($375,000 impairment realized in the second quarter of fiscal 2009). The Company currently holds three additional collateralized debt obligations (CDOs) which have not been deemed other-than-temporarily impaired, based on the Company’s best judgment using information currently available (see Note 3: Securities, of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).
We expect to, over time, redeploy recent increases in cash balances, and to continue to grow our assets modestly through the origination and occasional purchase of loans, and purchases of investment securities. The primary funding for this asset growth is expected to come from existing cash and cash equivalents, retail deposits, short- and long-term FHLB borrowings, and, as needed, brokered certificates of deposit. We intend to grow deposits by offering desirable deposit products for our current customers and by attracting new depository relationships. We will also continue to explore strategic expansion opportunities in market areas that we believe will be attractive to our business model.
Comparison of Financial Condition at December 31, 2011, and June 30, 2011
The Company’s total assets increased by $84.4 million, or 12.3%, to $772.6 million at December 31, 2011, as compared to $688.2 million at June 30, 2011. Balance sheet growth was funded by growth in deposits and the net additional capital invested in the Company’s common and preferred stock, and resulted in larger cash holdings, while also funding an increase in available-for-sale investments. Also contributing to higher cash holdings was a decrease in net loans outstanding. Loans, net of the allowance for loan losses, decreased $13.9 million, or 2.5%, to $542.7 million at December 31, 2011, as compared to $556.6 million at June 30, 2011. Available-for-sale investment balances increased by $11.2 million, or 17.7%, to $74.5 million at December 31, 2011, as compared to $63.3 million at June 30, 2011. Cash and cash equivalents increased $84.7 million, or 249.9%, to $118.6 million at December 31, 2011 as compared to $33.9 million at June 30, 2011.
During the first six months of fiscal 2012, deposit growth totaled $48.9 million, or 8.7%, bringing deposit balances to $609.0 million at December 31, 2011, as compared to $560.2 million at June 30, 2011. This growth was primarily in NOW accounts, noninterest bearing transaction accounts, and money market deposit accounts, partially offset by declines in certificates of deposit and savings accounts.
Total stockholders’ equity increased $35.4 million, or 63.6%, to $91.2 million at December 31, 2011, as compared to $55.7 million at June 30, 2011. The increase was due primarily to the additional capital invested in the Company’s preferred stock issued under the SBLF program, net of the redemption of preferred stock issued under the TARP program, net proceeds from the common stock offering, retention of net income, and an increase in accumulated other comprehensive income, partially offset by cash dividends paid on common and preferred stock.
Average Balance Sheet, Interest, and Average Yields and Rates for the Three- and Six-Month Periods Ended
December 31, 2011 and 2010
The tables below present certain information regarding our financial condition and net interest income for the three- and six-month periods ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. The tables present the annualized average yield on interest-earning assets and the annualized average cost of interest-bearing liabilities. We derived the yields and costs by dividing annualized income or expense by the average balance of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, respectively, for the periods shown. Yields on tax-exempt obligations were not computed on a tax equivalent basis.

After preferred dividends paid of $258,000 and a $94,000 charge for the early redemption of preferred stock issued at a discount in the six-month period ended December 31, 2011, net income available to common shareholders was $5.2 million, a decrease of $1.5 million, or 21.9%, as compared to the $6.6 million in net income available to common shareholders in the same period of the prior fiscal year. For the six-month period ended December 31, 2011, basic and diluted net income per share available to common shareholders was $2.21and $2.12, respectively, decreases of $0.97, or 30.5%, and $0.99, or 31.8%, respectively, as compared to the same period of the prior year. Our annualized return on average assets for the six-month period ended December 31, 2011, was 1.53%, as compared to 2.39% for the same period of the prior fiscal year. For the six-month period ended December 31, 2011, return on average assets excluding accretion of fair value discount on acquired loans and amortization of fair value premium on assumed time deposits was 1.15%.

For the six-month period ended December 31, 2011, return on average common stockholders’ equity excluding accretion of fair value discount on acquired loans and amortization of fair value premium on assumed time deposits was 14.2%. For the six-month period ended December 31, 2010, return on average common stockholders’ equity excluding bargain purchase gain, net of transaction expenses and tax was 13.6%.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income for the three- and six-month periods ended December 31, 2011, was $7.3 million and $14.8 million, respectively, increases of $2.6 million, or 53.7%, and $5.5 million, or 59.5%, respectively, as compared to the same periods of the prior fiscal year. For the three-and six-month periods ended December 31, 2011, net interest income excluding accretion of fair value discount on acquired loans and amortization of fair value premium on assumed time deposits was $6.3 million and $12.6 million, respectively. Our average interest rate spread for the three- and six month periods ended December 31, 2011, was 3.90% and 4.05%, respectively, as compared to 3.13% and 3.16%, respectively, for the same period of the prior fiscal year. Average interest rate spread excluding accretion of fair value discount on acquired loans and amortization of fair value premium on assumed time deposits was 3.33% and 3.41%, respectively, for the three- and six-month periods ended December 31, 2011. For the three- and six-month periods ended December 31, 2011, the 77 and 89 basis point increases, respectively, in the net interest rate spread, compared to the same periods a year ago, resulted from 31 and 41 basis point increases, respectively, in the average yield on interest-earning assets, combined with 46 and 48 basis point decreases, respectively, in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities. Much of the improvement was attributed to the Acquisition, whereby the Company acquired loans at a discount that resulted in yields significantly higher than the Company’s legacy interest-earning assets. The Company does not expect the full improvement in net interest rate spread to be maintained; as the acquired loan portfolio pays down, the impact will be reduced and new assets will not be booked at similar spreads. The Company does, however expect to redeploy cash, over time, into loans and investments at higher yields. Additionally, our growth initiatives, including the Acquisition, resulted in 24.7% and 26.2% increases, respectively, in the average balance of interest-earning assets (and 20.5% and 22.6% increases, respectively, in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities) for the three- and six-month periods ended December 31, 2011, as compared to the same periods of the prior fiscal year. Our net interest margin for the three- and six-month periods ended December 31, 2011, determined by dividing annualized net interest income by total average interest-earning assets, was 4.12% and 4.27%, respectively, as compared to 3.34% and 3.38%, respectively, in the same periods of the prior fiscal year. Our net interest margin excluding accretion of fair value discount on
acquired loans and amortization of fair value premium on assumed time deposits was 3.56% and 3.64%, respectively, for the three- and six-month periods ended December 31, 2011.
Interest Income. Total interest income for the three- and six-month periods ended December 31, 2011, was $9.9 million and $20.2 million, respectively, increases of $2.4 million, or 31.9%, and $5.3 million, or 35.9%, respectively, as compared to the amounts earned in the same periods of the prior fiscal year. The improvements were due to increases of $140.6 million, or 24.7%, and $144.1 million, or 26.2%, respectively, in the average balance of interest-earning assets for the three- and six-month periods ended December 31, 2011, as compared to the same periods of the prior fiscal year, combined with 31 and 41 basis point increases, respectively, in the average interest rate earned. For the three- and six-month periods ended December 31, 2011, the average interest rate on interest-earning assets was 5.60% and 5.81%, respectively, as compared to 5.29% and 5.40%, respectively, for the same periods of the prior fiscal year. The improvements were attributed to the Acquisition, whereby the Company acquired loans at a discount that resulted in yields significantly higher than the Company’s legacy interest-earning assets.
Interest Expense. Total interest expense for the three- and six-month periods ended December 31, 2011, was $2.6 million and $5.4 million, respectively, decreases of $154,000, or 5.6%, and $198,000, or 3.6%, respectively, as compared to the same periods of the prior fiscal year. The decreases were due to the 46 and 48 basis point decreases, respectively, in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities, partially offset by increases of $105.1 million, or 20.5%, and $112.0 million, or 22.6%, respectively, in the average balance of those liabilities during the three- and six-month periods ended December 31, 2011, as compared to the same periods of the prior fiscal year. For the three- and six-month periods ended December 31, 2011, the average interest rate on interest-bearing liabilities was 1.70% and 1.76%, respectively, as compared to 2.16% and 2.24%, respectively, for the same periods of the prior fiscal year. The decreases were attributed to a declining cost of funds as a result of lower market rates, as well as a decrease in the average balance of higher-cost FHLB advances.
Provisions for Loan Losses. Provisions for loan losses for the three- and six-month periods ended December 31, 2011, were $345,000 and $862,000, respectively, as compared to $274,000 and $916,000, respectively, for the same periods of the prior fiscal year. The relative stability in provisioning was attributed to steady credit quality and net charge offs. In fiscal years 2011 and 2010, provisions totaled 47and 23 basis points, respectively, as a percentage of average gross loans outstanding, as compared to net charge offs of nine and ten basis points, respectively, in those fiscal years. By comparison, annualized provisions in the three- and six-month periods ended December 31, 2011, were 25 and 31 basis points, respectively, while annualized net charge offs were four and nine basis points, respectively. Although we believe that we have established and maintained the allowance for loan losses at adequate levels, additions may be necessary as the loan portfolio grows, as economic conditions remain poor, and as other conditions differ from the current operating environment. Even though we use the best information available, the level of the allowance for loan losses remains an estimate that is subject to significant judgment and short-term change. (See “Critical Accounting Policies”, “Allowance for Loan Loss Activity” and “Nonperforming Assets”).
Noninterest Income. Noninterest income for the three- and six-month periods ended December 31, 2011, was $899,000 and $2.0 million, respectively, decreases of $7.0 million, or 88.6%, and $6.7 million, or 76.8%, respectively, as compared to the same periods of the prior fiscal year. The decreases were attributed primarily to the inclusion in the prior periods’ results of the bargain purchase gain recorded on the Acquisition; other components of noninterest income included an increase in bank card transaction fees and gains on sales of loans, partially offset by a decrease in deposit account charges and related fees. Noninterest income for the six-month period ended December 31, 2011, includes $181,000 recovered on a legal claim acquired from the former First Southern Bank. The Company notes that regulation of interchange income by the Federal Reserve under the terms of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act could significantly reduce the amount of income realized from bank card transactions. Although the Company’s asset size shielded it from direct regulation of interchange income pricing, it remains to be seen how changes in the market may impact the Company’s revenues.
Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense for the three- and six-month periods ended December 31, 2011, was $3.9 million and $7.7 million, respectively, increases of $189,000, or 5.1%, and $1.1 million, or 16.9%, respectively, as compared to the same periods of the prior fiscal year. The increases were attributed to higher compensation and benefit expenses, advertising expenses, bank card network fees, charges to amortize intangible assets, and postage and office supplies, and were partially offset by declines in legal and professional fees and deposit insurance premium assessments. For both the three- and six-month periods, higher expenses for compensation and benefits, advertising, postage and office supplies, bank card network fees, and amortization of intangible assets, were attributable, at least in part, to the Acquisition. The decline in legal and professional fees was attributed to the inclusion in the prior period’s results of charges related to the Acquisition, with no comparable charges in the current period. Lower deposit insurance premiums resulted from a change in the assessment base employed by the FDIC in the calculation of the premium, from deposits to total assets net of tangible equity. For the three- and six-month periods ended December 31, 2011, our efficiency ratio, determined by dividing total noninterest expense by the sum of net interest income and noninterest income, was 47.2% and 45.6%, respectively, as compared to 29.3% and 36.5%, respectively,
for the same periods of the prior fiscal year. As the Company continues to grow its balance sheet, non-interest expense will continue to increase due to compensation, expenses related to expansion, and inflation.
Income Taxes. Provisions for income taxes for the three- and six-month periods ended December 31, 2011, were $1.3 million and $2.8 million, respectively, decreases of $1.8 million and $852,000, respectively, as compared to provisions for the same periods of the prior fiscal year. The effective tax rate for the three- and six-month periods ended December 31, 2011, was 33.0% and 33.3%, respectively, as compared to 35.6% and 34.4%, respectively, for the same periods of the prior fiscal year. The decreases in both the amount of the provision and the effective tax rate were attributed primarily to higher pre-tax income in the prior year periods, the result of the bargain purchase gain recorded as a result of the Acquisition.
Allowance for Loan Loss Activity
The Company regularly reviews its allowance for loan losses and makes adjustments to its balance based on management’s analysis of the loan portfolio, the amount of non-performing and classified loans, as well as general economic conditions. Although the Company maintains its allowance for loan losses at a level that it considers sufficient to provide for losses, there can be no assurance that future losses will not exceed internal estimates. In addition, the amount of the allowance for loan losses is subject to review by regulatory agencies, which can order the establishment of additional loss provisions. The following table summarizes changes in the allowance for loan losses over the six-month periods ended December 31, 2011 and 2010:

The allowance for loan losses has been calculated based upon an evaluation of pertinent factors underlying the various types and quality of the Company’s loans. Management considers such factors as the repayment status of a loan, the estimated net fair value of the underlying collateral, the borrower’s intent and ability to repay the loan, local economic conditions, and the Company’s historical loss ratios. We maintain the allowance for loan losses through the provisions for loan losses that we charge to income. We charge losses on loans against the allowance for loan losses when we believe the collection of loan principal is unlikely. The allowance for loan losses increased $608,000 to $7.0 million at December 31, 2011, from $6.4 million at June 30, 2011. The increase was necessary in order to bring the allowance for loan losses to a level that reflects management’s estimate of the incurred loss in the Company’s loan portfolio at December 31, 2011.
At December 31, 2011, the Company had $6.6 million, or 1.21% of total loans, adversely classified ($6.6 million classified “substandard”; an immaterial amount classified “doubtful”; and none classified “loss”), as compared to $8.5 million, or 1.52% of total loans, adversely classified ($8.5 million classified “substandard”; $87,000 classified “doubtful”; and none classified “loss”) at June 30, 2011, and $8.5 million, or 1.57% of total loans, adversely classified ($8.4 million classified “substandard”; $91,000 classified “doubtful”; and none classified “loss”) at December 31, 2010. Classified loans were generally comprised of loans secured by commercial real estate, agricultural real estate, or commercial inventory and equipment. Of our classified loans, the Company had ceased recognition of interest on loans with a carrying value of $394,000 at December 31, 2011. The Company’s investment in the Trapeza 4 CDO (see “Executive Summary” and “Nonperforming Assets”) was also treated as a non-accrual asset. All loans were classified due to concerns as to the borrowers’ ability to continue to generate sufficient cash flows to service the debt.
In its quarterly evaluation of the adequacy of its allowance for loan losses, the Company employs historical data including past due percentages, charge offs, and recoveries for the previous five years for each loan category. During fiscal year 2011, the
Company modified its allowance methodology to also consider the most recent twelve-month period’s average net charge offs and to use this information as one of the primary factors for evaluation of allowance adequacy. Average net charge offs are calculated as net charge offs by portfolio type for the period as a percentage of the average balance of respective portfolio type over the same period. As the Company and the industry have seen increases in loan defaults in the past several years, the Company believes that it is prudent to emphasize more recent historical factors in the allowance evaluation. The impact of the modification was minimal.
The following table sets forth the Company’s historical net charge offs as of December 31, 2011, and June 30, 2011:

Additionally, in its quarterly evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, the Company evaluates changes in the financial condition of individual borrowers; changes in local, regional, and national economic conditions; the Company’s historical loss experience; and changes in market conditions for property pledged to the Company as collateral. The Company has identified specific qualitative factors that address these issues and subjectively assigns a percentage to each factor. Qualitative factors are reviewed quarterly and may be adjusted as necessary to reflect improving or declining trends. At December 31, 2011, these qualitative factors included:
· Changes in lending policies
· National, regional, and local economic conditions
· Changes in mix and volume of portfolio
· Experience, ability, and depth of lending management and staff
· Entry to new markets
· Levels and trends of delinquent, nonaccrual, special mention and classified loans
· Concentrations of credit
· Changes in collateral values
· Agricultural economic conditions
· Regulatory risk
The qualitative factors are applied to the allowance for loan losses based upon the following percentages by loan type:

At December 31, 2011, the amount of our allowance for loan losses attributable to these qualitative factors was approximately $6.5 million, as compared to $5.4 million at June 30, 2011. The general increase in qualitative factors was attributable primarily to changes in lending staff and a more negative national economic outlook.
While management believes that our asset quality remains strong, it recognizes that, due to the continued growth in the loan portfolio and potential changes in market conditions, our level of nonperforming assets and resulting charge offs may fluctuate. Higher levels of net charge offs requiring additional provisions for loan losses could result. Although management uses the best information available, the level of the allowance for loan losses remains an estimate that is subject to significant judgment and short-term change.
Nonperforming Assets
The ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets and nonperforming loans to net loans receivable is another measure of asset quality. Nonperforming assets of the Company include nonaccruing loans, accruing loans delinquent/past maturity 90 days or more, and assets which have been acquired as a result of foreclosure or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure. The table below summarizes changes in the Company’s level of nonperforming assets over selected time periods:

At December 31, 2011, troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) totaled $3.4 million, of which an immaterial amount was considered nonperforming and was included in the nonaccrual loan total above. The remaining $3.4 million in TDRs have complied with the modified terms for a reasonable period of time and are therefore considered by the Company to be accrual status loans. In general, these loans were subject to classification as TDRs at December 31, 2011, on the basis of guidance under ASU No. 2011-02, which indicates that the Company may not consider the borrower’s effective borrowing rate on the old debt immediately before the restructuring in determining whether a concession has been granted. At June 30, 2011, the Company had no loans classified as TDRs.
At December 31, 2011, nonperforming assets totaled $1.8 million, down from $2.4 million at June 30, 2011, and up from the $1.8 million at December 31, 2010. The decrease in nonperforming assets from fiscal year end was attributed primarily to a reduced level of foreclosed real estate owned, and liquidation of past due loans obtained in the Acquisition. Nonperforming investments consist of the Company’s investment in Trapeza CDO IV, Ltd., class C2 (see Executive Summary).
Liquidity Resources
The term “liquidity” refers to our ability to generate adequate amounts of cash to fund loan originations, loans purchases, deposit withdrawals and operating expenses. Our primary sources of funds include deposit growth, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, FHLB advances, brokered deposits, amortization and prepayment of loan principal and interest, investment maturities and sales, and funds provided by our operations. While the scheduled loan repayments and maturing investments are relatively predictable, deposit flows, FHLB advance redemptions, and loan and security prepayment rates are significantly influenced by factors outside of the Bank’s control, including interest rates, general and local economic conditions and competition in the marketplace. The Bank relies on FHLB advances and brokered deposits as additional sources for funding cash or liquidity needs.
The Company uses its liquid resources principally to satisfy its ongoing cash requirements, which include funding loan commitments, funding maturing certificates of deposit and deposit withdrawals, maintaining liquidity, funding maturing or called FHLB advances, purchasing investments, and meeting operating expenses.
At December 31, 2011, the Company had outstanding commitments and approvals to fund approximately $93.2 million in mortgage and non-mortgage loans. These commitments and approvals are expected to be funded through existing cash balances, cash flow from normal operations and, if needed, advances from the FHLB or the Federal Reserve’s discount window. At December 31, 2011, the Bank had pledged its residential real estate loan portfolio and a significant portion of its commercial real estate portfolio with the FHLB for available credit of approximately $181.0 million, of which $33.5 million had been advanced (additionally, letters of credit totaling $22.4 million had been issued on the Bank’s behalf in order to secure
public unit funding). The Bank has the ability to pledge several of its other loan portfolios, including home equity and commercial business loans, which could provide additional collateral for additional borrowings; in total, FHLB borrowings are generally limited to 40% of Bank assets, or $309.3 million, subject to available collateral. Also, at December 31, 2011, the Bank had pledged a total of $77.9 million in loans secured by farmland and agricultural production loans to the Federal Reserve, providing access to $52.2 million in primary credit borrowings from the Federal Reserve’s discount window. Management believes its liquid resources will be sufficient to meet the Company’s liquidity needs.
Regulatory Capital
The Company and Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the Federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can result in certain mandatory—and possibly additional discretionary – actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Company and the Bank’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company and Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Furthermore, the Company and Bank’s regulators could require adjustments to regulatory capital not reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total capital and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined) and of Tier 1 capital (as defined) to average total assets (as defined). Management believes, as of December 31, 2011, that the Company and Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.
As of December 31, 2011, the most recent notification from the Federal Reserve categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s category.
The tables below summarize the Company and Bank’s actual and required regulatory capital:

PART I: Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
SOUTHERN MISSOURI BANCORP, INC.
Asset and Liability Management and Market Risk
The goal of the Company’s asset/liability management strategy is to manage the interest rate sensitivity of both interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities in order to maximize net interest income without exposing the Bank to an excessive level of interest rate risk. The Company employs various strategies intended to manage the potential effect that changing interest rates may have on future operating results. The primary asset/liability management strategy has been to focus on matching the anticipated re-pricing intervals of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. At times, however, depending on the level of general interest rates, the relationship between long- and short-term interest rates, market conditions and competitive factors, the Company may determine to increase its interest rate risk position somewhat in order to maintain its net interest margin.
In an effort to manage the interest rate risk resulting from fixed rate lending, the Bank has utilized longer term FHLB advances (with maturities up to ten years), subject to early redemptions and fixed terms. Other elements of the Company’s current asset/liability strategy include (i) increasing originations of commercial business, commercial real estate, agricultural operating lines, and agricultural real estate loans, which typically provide higher yields and shorter repricing periods, but inherently increase credit risk; (ii) actively soliciting less rate-sensitive deposits, including aggressive use of the Company’s “rewards checking” product, and (iii) offering competitively-priced money market accounts and CDs with maturities of up to five years. The degree to which each segment of the strategy is achieved will affect profitability and exposure to interest rate risk.

Computations of prospective effects of hypothetical interest rate changes are based on an internally generated model using actual maturity and repricing schedules for the Bank’s loans and deposits, and are based on numerous assumptions, including
relative levels of market interest rates, loan repayments and deposit run-offs, and should not be relied upon as indicative of actual results. Further, the computations do not contemplate any actions the Bank may undertake in response to changes in interest rates.
Management cannot predict future interest rates or their effect on the Bank’s NPV in the future. Certain shortcomings are inherent in the method of analysis presented in the computation of NPV. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods to repricing, they may react in differing degrees to changes in market interest rates. Additionally, certain assets, such as adjustable-rate loans, have an initial fixed rate period typically from one to five years and over the remaining life of the asset changes in the interest rate are restricted. In addition, the proportion of adjustable-rate loans in the Bank’s portfolio could decrease in future periods due to refinancing activity if market interest rates remain steady in the future. Further, in the event of a change in interest rates, prepayment and early withdrawal levels could deviate significantly from those assumed in the table. Finally, the ability of many borrowers to service their adjustable-rate debt may decrease in the event of an interest rate increase.
The Bank’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) is responsible for reviewing the Bank’s asset and liability policies. The Board’s Asset/Liability Committee meets monthly to review interest rate risk and trends, as well as liquidity and capital ratios and requirements. The Bank’s management is responsible for administering the policies and determinations of the Board with respect to the Bank’s asset and liability goals and strategies.
PART I: Item 4: Controls and Procedures
SOUTHERN MISSOURI BANCORP, INC.
An evaluation of Southern Missouri Bancorp’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Act”)) as of December 31, 2011, was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, and several other members of our senior management. The Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2011, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Act is (i) accumulated and communicated to management (including the Chief Executive and Financial Officer) in a timely manner, and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Act) that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2011, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
The Company does not expect that its disclosures and procedures will prevent all error and all fraud. A control procedure, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control procedure are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control procedures, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any control procedure also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control procedure, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
