TECHE HOLDING COMPANY
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2014 and September 30, 2013 and for the three and six months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, include the accounts of Teche Holding Company (the “Company”) and its subsidiary, Teche Federal Bank (the “Bank”). The Company’s business is conducted principally through the Bank. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all information necessary for a complete presentation of consolidated financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. However, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements, have been included. The results of operations for the six months ended March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year or any other period. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2013.

NOTE 3 - INCOME PER SHARE

Basic and diluted net income per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period. Diluted net income per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options were exercised, resulting in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the net income of the Company.

Following is a summary of the information used in the computation of basic and diluted income per common share for the three and six months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 (in thousands).

For the three and six months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, net income for determining diluted earnings per share was equivalent to net income. Options to purchase shares that have been excluded from the determination of diluted earnings per share because they are antidilutive (the exercise price is higher than the current market price) amounted to 0 and 72,220 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

NOTE 4 - ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

Accumulated other comprehensive income for the Company consists of unrealized holding gains and losses on investments classified as available for sale, net of income taxes.  For the six months ended March 31, 2014, there was a $39,000, net of tax, reclassification out of accumulated other comprehensive income for realized gains on the sale of investments.  The reclassification out of accumulated other comprehensive income was reported within non-interest income on the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income.  There were no reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income for the three and six months ended March 31, 2013.

NOTE 5 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
 
The Company utilizes fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. Available for sale securities are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, from time to time, the Company may be required to record at fair value other assets or liabilities on a nonrecurring basis, such as securities held-to-maturity, loans held for sale, loans held for investment and certain other assets. These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve application of lower of cost or market accounting, other than temporary impairment accounting or impairments of individual assets.
 
This is a three-tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
 
Level 1     - Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
 
Level 2     - Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
 
Level 3     - Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
 
The Company evaluates fair value measurement inputs on an ongoing basis in order to determine if there is a change of sufficient significance to warrant a transfer between levels.  For example, changes in market activity or the addition of new unobservable inputs could, in the Company’s judgment, cause a transfer to either a higher or lower level.  For the three and six months ended March 31, 2014, there were no transfers between levels.
 
Following is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets recorded at fair value.
 
Investment Securities
 
Securities available for sale are valued at quoted market prices where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable securities. These are inputs used by a third-party pricing service used by the Company.  Level 1 securities include those traded on an active exchange, such as the New York Stock Exchange, U.S. Treasury securities that are traded by dealers or brokers in active over-the-counter markets and money market funds. Level 2 securities include mortgage-backed securities issued by government-sponsored entities. Securities classified as Level 3 include asset-backed securities in less liquid markets.  Securities held to maturity are valued using discounted cash flow models that use assumptions about prepayment speeds, coupon default rates, discount rates and timing and other assumptions that may affect the amounts of cash flows.  The Company periodically updates its understanding of the inputs used and compares valuations to an additional third party source.
 
Loans
 
The Company does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis. However, from time to time, a loan is considered impaired and an allowance for loan losses is established. Loans for which it is probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement are considered impaired. Once a loan is identified as individually impaired, management measures impairment in accordance with ASC 310-10-35. The fair value of impaired loans is estimated using one of several methods, including the collateral value if the impaired loan is collateral-dependent, which is typically derived from appraisals
 
 
8

 
that take into consideration prices in observed transactions involving similar assets and similar locations.  Each appraisal is updated on an annual basis, either through a new appraisal or through an internal review process.  Other methods used to determine fair value are enterprise value, liquidation value and discounted cash flows.  The fair value of impaired loans that are not collateral-dependent would require a measure using a discounted cash flow analysis considered to be a Level 3 input.  Fair value is re-assessed at least quarterly, or more frequently when circumstances occur that indicate a change in fair value.  Those impaired loans not requiring an allowance represent loans for which the fair value of the expected repayments or collateral exceed the recorded investments in such loans. At March 31, 2014, substantially all of the impaired loans were evaluated based on the fair value of the collateral less estimated costs to sell.  Impaired loans where an allowance is established based on the fair value of collateral require classification in the fair value hierarchy.  When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, the Company records the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, the Company records the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 3.
 
Fair value is also used on a nonrecurring basis for nonfinancial assets and liabilities such as foreclosed assets, and other real estate owned measured at fair value for purposes of assessing impairment.  A description of the valuation methodologies used for nonfinancial assets measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy, is set forth below.
 
Other Real Estate Owned
 
Other Real Estate Owned (“OREO”), consisting of properties obtained through foreclosure or in satisfaction of loans, is reported at the lower of cost or fair value, determined on the basis of current appraisals, comparable sales, and other estimates of value obtained principally from independent sources, adjusted for estimated selling costs (Level 3).   The fair value of OREO is based on a property’s appraised value adjusted at management’s discretion to reflect a further decline in the fair value of properties since the time the appraisal analysis was performed.  The Company has experienced that appraisals quickly become outdated due to the volatile real estate environment.  The inputs used to determine the fair value of OREO fall within Level 3.  At the time of foreclosure, any excess of the loan balance over the fair value of the real estate held as collateral is treated as a charge against the allowance for loan losses. Gains or losses on sale and generally any subsequent adjustments to the value are recorded as a component of OREO expense.

The fair value of a financial instrument is the current amount that would be exchanged between willing parties, other than in a forced liquidation.  Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices.  However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Company’s various financial instruments.  In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques.  Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows.  Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument.  ASC 825 excludes certain financial instruments and all non-financial instruments from its disclosure requirements.  Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented may not necessarily represent the underlying fair value of the Company.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair value disclosures for financial instruments:

Cash - For those short-term instruments, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Investment Securities – See the discussion elsewhere in this Note 5 on the valuation of the fair value of investment securities.  Investment securities’ fair value equal quoted market price, if available. If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities.

Loans - See the discussion in Note 5 on the valuation of fair value of impaired loans.  The 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 for the same remaining maturities.  No adjustment has been made for illiquidity in the market for loans as there is no active market for many of the Company’s loans on which to reasonably base this estimate.

Federal Home Loan Bank Stock - Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) stock is recorded at cost and is periodically reviewed for impairment. No ready market exists for the FHLB stock.  It has no quoted market value and is carried at cost.  Cost approximates fair market value based upon the redemption requirements of the FHLB, and this investment is not considered impaired at March 31, 2014. The FHLB of Dallas is still redeeming stock.

Bank Owned Life Insurance- The carrying amounts of bank owned life insurance contracts approximate fair value.

Accrued Interest - The carrying amounts of accrued interest receivable and payable approximate fair value.

 
12

 
Deposits - The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts, and certain money market deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.

Advances from Federal Home Loan Bank - The fair value of advances is estimated using rates currently available for advances of similar remaining maturities.

Commitments - The fair value of commitments to extend credit was not significant.

The estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments were as follows at March 31, 2014 and September 30, 2013:

Allowance for Loan Losses and Recorded Investment in Loans as of March 31, 2014 and September 30, 2013 and for the three and six months ended March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013.

The allowance for loan losses is a reserve established through a provision for loan losses charged to expense, which represents management’s best estimate of probable losses that have been incurred within the existing portfolio of loans.  The allowance is the amount, in the judgment of management, necessary to reserve for estimated loan losses and risks inherent in the loan portfolio.  The methodology is based on the Bank’s historical loss experience by type of credit and internal risk grade, specific homogeneous risk pools and specific loss allocations, with adjustments for current events and conditions.  The Company’s process for determining the appropriate level of the allowance for loan losses is designed to account for credit deterioration as it occurs.  The provision for loan losses reflects loan quality trends, potential problem loans, and criticized loans and net charge-offs, among other factors.  The provision for loan losses also reflects the totality of actions taken on all loans for a particular period.  In other words, the amount of the provision reflects not only the necessary increases in the allowance for loan losses related to newly identified criticized loans, but it also reflects actions taken related to other loans including, among other things, any necessary increases or decreases in required allowances for specific loans or loan class.

The table below provides an allocation of the allowance for possible loan losses by loan type; however, allocation of a portion of the allowance to one category of loans does not preclude its availability to absorb losses in other categories:

Credit Quality Indicators
As of March 31, 2014

Commercial Credit Exposure
Credit Risk Profile by Internally Assigned Grade

Prime – Credits secured by cash (accounts held in the Bank), stocks, bonds (companies with debt ratings of “A” or better), U.S. Government securities with advance rates within bank policy and cash value of insurance policies (with sound AM Best rating).

Excellent – Borrowers that demonstrate exceptional credit fundamentals, including stable and predictable profit margins, cash flows, strong liquidity, conservative balance sheet and significant historical cash flow coverage of existing and pro-forma debt service coverage. Credits rated Excellent will have a strong primary source of repayment usually consisting of strong historical cash flows along with strong secondary and tertiary repayment sources.  Subsequent repayment sources could consist of financially strong guarantors, low loan to value ratios on collateral with a strong secondary market or resale source. Companies fitting the profile of minimal risk will have low leverage, a defined management succession plan and a broad product mix.

Average – Borrowers that fit this classification would most likely be a typical middle market businesses or a high net worth individual.  Loans would typically be secured and may have some reliance on inventory. Cash flow is adequate to service debt but may be susceptible to some deterioration due to cyclical, seasonal or economic events.  Management is experienced but is concentrated in a few key people. Credits fitting this classification would typically have at least one very strong repayment source and a good secondary repayment source. Company product mix may lack diversity. The majority of loans fall within this classification. Annual financial statements on the borrower and guarantor(s) should be obtained.

 
22

 
Satisfactory – These loans display an acceptable degree of risk in the short-term. Unfavorable characteristics may exist however; these are offset by the positive trends. Some unpredictability in earnings and cash flow may exist. Leverage may be higher than typical in the industry and liquidity less than desirable. Management, while competent, may not be experienced and lack depth. Secondary and tertiary sources of repayment may be limited. Companies in a start-up situation typically fit this classification. Other characteristics of this classification would be companies with volatility in earnings and/or increasing leverage.

Watch List – Assets considered on a “Watch List” are technically not classified in the usual sense of the term and are considered “Pass” assets. Assets in this category do not trigger a need for additional valuation allowances. The purpose of this list is to identify assets that warrant increased monitoring for minor exceptions or problems, which could worsen in the near future if left unattended.

Special Mention – A Special Mention asset has potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected these potential weaknesses may result in the deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or in the Bank’s credit position at some future date.  Special Mention assets are not adversely classified and do not expose the Bank to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification.

Substandard - Assets classified Substandard have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses. A Substandard asset is inadequately protected by the current net worth or paying capacity of the obligor or pledged collateral, if any. It is characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Weaknesses are to be based upon objective evidence.

Doubtful - Assets classified Doubtful have all of the weaknesses inherent in those classified Substandard. In addition, these weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full highly questionable and improbable, on the basis of the currently existing facts, conditions and values.

Loss - Assets classified as Loss are considered uncollectible, or of such little value that the continuance of the loan or other asset on the books of the Bank is not warranted.  Some recovery of funds could be possible in the future, but the amount and probability of this recovery are not determinable, thus leaving little justification for the assets to remain on the books.

A Loss classification does not mean that an asset has no recovery or salvage value, but simply that it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off or reserving all or a portion of a basically worthless asset, even though partial recovery may be effected in the future.

Commercial Loans

Our underwriting philosophy is centered primarily on the borrower’s ability to generate adequate cash flow to service the debt in accordance with the terms and conditions of the loan agreement.  Understanding the borrowers’ businesses along with their level of experience and the background of the principals is also a part of our lending philosophy.  Generally, our loans are secured by collateral and we assess the market value of the collateral and the strength it brings to the loan.  We generally require personal guarantees of the borrower’s principals and assess the financial strength and liquidity of each guarantor as part of our process.

Common risks to each class of commercial loans include risks that are not specific to the individual transactions such as general economic conditions within our markets.  There are risks associated with each individual transaction such as a change in marital status, disability or death of the borrower and the loss of value of our collateral due to market conditions.

In addition to these common risks, additional risks are inherent in certain types of commercial loans.

Commercial Construction and Land Development:
Commercial construction and land development loans are dependent upon the supply and demand for commercial real estate in the markets we serve as well as the demand for newly constructed residential homes and lots.  A continuing decrease in demand could result in significant decreases in the underlying collateral values and make repayment of the outstanding loans more difficult for our borrowers.

 
23

 
Commercial Mortgage and C&I Loans:
The repayment of commercial mortgage and C&I loans is primarily dependent upon the ability of our borrowers to produce cash flow consistent with original projections analyzed during the credit underwriting process.  While our loans are generally secured by collateral with limitations on maximum loan to value, there is the risk that liquidation of the collateral will not fully satisfy the loan balance.

Non-owner occupied nonresidential and multifamily properties:
Loans secured by non-residential properties such as office buildings, and loans secured by multifamily housing are dependent upon the ability of the property to produce enough cash flow sufficient to service the debt.  These types of properties are generally susceptible to high unemployment or generally weak economic conditions which can result in high vacancy rates.

Non-commercial loans

Most of our non-commercial loans are centrally underwritten.  When assessing credit risk, we analyze certain factors relating to credit performance such as payment history, credit utilization, length of credit history.  Since most of our non-commercial loans are secured, we evaluate the likely market value of the collateral.  Common risks that are not specific to individual loan transactions include economic conditions within or markets, particularly unemployment rates and potential declines in real estate values.  Personal events such as disability, death or a change in marital status also add risk to non-commercial loans.

In addition to these common risks, additional risks are inherent in certain types of non-commercial loans.

Revolving Mortgages:
Revolving loans such as HELOCs may be secured by first and junior liens on residential real estate making such loans susceptible to deterioration in residential real estate values.  Additional risks include lien perfection deficiencies.  Further, open end lines of credit have the inherent risk that the borrower may draw on the lines in excess of their collateral value particularly in a deteriorating real estate market.

Consumer Loans:
Consumer loans include loans secured by personal property such as automobiles, mobile homes, and other title recreational vehicles such as boats, RV’s and motorcycles.  Consumer loans also may include unsecured loans.  The value of the underlying collateral within this group of loans is especially volatile due to the potential rapid depreciation in values.

Residential Construction and Permanent Mortgages:
Residential mortgages are typically secured by 1-4 family residential property and residential lots.  Declines in market value can result in residential mortgages with balances in excess of the value of the property securing the loan. Residential construction loans can experience delays in construction and cost overruns that can exceed the borrower’s financial ability to complete the home leading to unmarketable collateral.

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

GENERAL

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 contains safe harbor provisions regarding forward-looking statements. When used in this discussion, the words “believe”, “anticipates”, “contemplates”, “expects”, and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Those risks and uncertainties include financial market volatility, changes in interest rates, risk associated with the effect of opening new branches, the ability to control costs and expenses, potential changes in regulation which could result in increased expenses and general economic conditions. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions to those forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrences of unanticipated events. The Company is a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K and its financial statements were prepared in accordance with instructions applicable for such companies.

The Company’s consolidated results of operations are primarily dependent on the Bank’s net interest income, or the difference between the interest income earned on its loan, mortgage-backed securities and investment securities portfolios, and the interest expense paid on its savings deposits and other borrowings. Net interest income is affected not only by the difference between the yields earned on interest-earning assets and the costs incurred on interest-bearing liabilities, but also by the relative amounts of such interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.

Other components of net income include: provisions for loan losses; non-interest income (primarily, service charges on deposit accounts and other fees, net rental income, and gains and losses on investment activities); non-interest expenses (primarily, compensation and employee benefits, federal insurance premiums, office occupancy expense, marketing expense and expenses associated with foreclosed real estate) and income taxes.

Earnings of the Company also are significantly affected by economic and competitive conditions, particularly changes in interest rates, government policies and regulations of regulatory authorities. References to the “Bank” herein, unless the context requires otherwise, refer to the Company on a consolidated basis.

COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

The Company’s total assets at March 31, 2014 amounted to $863.7 million, an increase of $7.0 million or 0.8% as compared to $856.7 million at September 30, 2013. The increase was primarily due to increases in commercial, consumer, and mortgage loans offset somewhat by decreases in cash balances and security balances.

Securities available-for-sale totaled $12.7 million and securities held to maturity totaled $59.5 million at March 31, 2014, which, combined, represented a decrease of $9.9 million or 12.1% as compared to September 30, 2013. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in certificates of deposits at other banks and the normal principal repayments on the existing portfolio.

Loans receivable, net of allowance for loan losses, totaled $697.9 million at March 31, 2014, which represented an increase of $21.3 million or 3.2% compared to September 30, 2013. The increase was primarily due to increases in all loan categories with residential real estate loans having the most growth at $6.5 million.

FHLB stock increased $0.6 million due to stock purchases.

Total deposits, after interest credited, at March 31, 2014 were $654.0 million, which represented an increase of $3.2 million or 0.5% as compared to September 30, 2013. The increase was due to an increase in interest bearing checking, non-interest bearing checking, and savings offset by decreases in money market and time deposit accounts.  The weighted average remaining maturity on our time deposit portfolio is approximately 17 months.

Advances decreased $0.4 million or 0.3% as compared to the amount at September 30, 2013. The decrease was due to normal principal payments on existing advances.

 
30

 
Stockholders’ equity was $93.1 million at March 31, 2014 and $89.1 million at September 30, 2013. The increase was due primarily to net income and stock option exercises less dividend payments of $1.6 million.

COMPARISON OF EARNINGS FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2014 AND 2013

Net Income. The Company had net income of $1.1 million or $0.51 per diluted share, and $3.5 million or $1.65 per diluted share, for the three and six months ended March 31, 2014, respectively as compared to net income of $1.6 million or $0.75 per diluted share, and $4.6 million or $2.24 per diluted share, for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2013, respectively. The changes affecting net income are discussed in the following paragraphs by category.

Total Interest Income. Total interest income increased $0.4 million or 4.2% and increased $0.3 million or 1.5% for the three and six months ended March 31, 2014, respectively, as compared to the same periods ended March 31, 2013.  The average yield on loans decreased to 5.13% and 5.19%, respectively, for the three and six months ended March 31, 2014, from 5.34% and 5.40%, respectively, for the same periods in 2013.  Loan yields have trended downward because of the low interest rate environment.

Total Interest Expense. Total interest expense decreased $0.2 million or 11.3% and $0.4 million or 12.5%, for the three and six-month periods ended March 31, 2014, respectively as compared to the same periods in the prior fiscal year.  The decrease was due mainly to the average cost of deposits decreasing to 0.46% and 0.47% for the three and six months ended March 31, 2014, respectively, compared to 0.53% and 0.58%, for the same periods in 2013, respectively.  Interest rates have steadily decreased affecting the Bank’s pricing of deposits.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $0.6 million or 7.8% and $0.7 million or 4.8% for the three and six-month periods ended March 31, 2014, respectively as compared to the same periods ended March 31, 2013. The increase in net interest income was primarily due to a decrease in rates on interest bearing liabilities and FHLB borrowings.

Provision for Loan Losses.   Management recorded no provision for the fiscal year to date as compared to a provision of $400 thousand for the first half of fiscal 2013, due primarily to management’s assessment of the loan portfolio for probable losses.  The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans at March 31, 2014 was 1.07% compared to 1.15% at September 30, 2013 and 1.26% at March 31, 2013.

The calculation that supports the adequacy of the ALLL includes management’s best estimates that are applied to known portfolio elements.  The Bank employs a 9-point grading system to track as accurately as possible the inherent quality of the loan portfolio.  The application of a nine point system is used on all accounts in the commercial loan portfolio.  Values of “1” or “2” are considered to be substantially risk free.  Average and acceptable risk loans are assigned point values of “3” and “4”,  Loans with some document deficiencies or that are of modest financial strength are assigned a rating of “5”.  Point values of 6, 7, 8, and 9 are assigned to loans classified as special mention, substandard, doubtful, and loss, respectively.  Consumer loans are only assigned risk ratings of “6” or worse, based on payment history.  In addition, management considers other trends such as local economic conditions, the risk rating of the loan portfolios as discussed above, amounts and trends in non-performing assets and concentration factors.

Management regularly estimates the likely level of losses to determine whether the allowance for loan losses is adequate to absorb probable losses in the existing portfolio.  Based on these estimates, an amount is charged or credited to the provision for loan losses and credited or charged to the allowance for loan losses in order to adjust the allowance to a level determined to be adequate to absorb probable losses.  There have been no significant changes in the Company's estimation methods during the current period.

Management’s judgment as to the level of the allowance for loan losses involves the consideration of current economic conditions and their potential effects on specific borrowers, an evaluation of the existing relationships among loans, known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio and the present level of the allowance, results of
 
 
31

 
examination of the loan portfolio by regulatory agencies and management’s internal review of the loan portfolio.  In determining the collectability of impaired loans, management also considers the fair value of any underlying collateral.  In addition, management considers changes in loan concentrations, the level of and trends in non-performing loans during the period, the Bank’s historical loss experience and historical charge-off percentages for state and national banks for similar types of loans in determining the appropriate amount of the allowance for loan losses.  Because certain types of loans have higher credit risk, greater concentrations of such loans may result in an increase to the allowance.  For this reason, management segregates the loan portfolio by type of loan and number of days past due.  Non-performing loans as a percent of total loans plus real estate owned were 0.47% at March 31, 2014, compared to 0.38% at September 30, 2013 and 0.81% at March 31, 2013.

Non-Interest Income.   Total non-interest income decreased $0.2 million and $2.0 million for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2014, respectively as compared to the same periods in 2013.  The decrease from a year ago was attributable to a $2.0 million before tax gain on the sale of $46.3 million in mortgage loans realized during the prior year.  There was no similar sale during the first six months of fiscal year 2014.
 
Non-Interest Expense.   Total non-interest expense increased $0.9 million and $0.6 million, respectively, during the three and six months ended March 31, 2014, as compared to the same periods in 2013.  The increases were due to additional occupancy, legal and marketing expenses.

Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense increased by $0.2 million for the three months and decreased by $0.3 million for the six months ended March 31, 2014, respectively as compared to the same periods in 2013. The income tax expense increased for the three month period due to the non-deductible legal expense related to the IBERIABANK merger.  The decrease in tax expense for the six month period was due to income before taxes being lower.  The Company’s effective tax rate was 46.91% and 36.57% for the three and six months ended March 31, 2014 respectively as compared to 32.82% and 33.56% for the comparable 2013 periods.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Risk-based capital regulations adopted by the Board of Governors of the FRB and the FDIC require bank holding companies and banks, respectively, to achieve and maintain specified ratios of capital to risk-weighted assets.  The risk-based capital rules are designed to measure Tier 1 Capital and Total Capital in relation to the credit risk of both on –and off-balance sheet items.  Under the guidelines, one of four risk weights is applied to the different on-balance sheet items.  Off-balance sheet items, such as loan commitments, are also subject to risk-weighting after conversion to balance sheet equivalent amounts.  All bank holding companies and banks must maintain a minimum total capital to total risk-weighted assets ratio of 8.00%, at least half of which must be in the form of core, Tier 1, capital (consisting of common equity, retained earnings, and a limited amount of qualifying perpetual preferred stock and trust preferred securities, net of goodwill and other intangible assets and accumulated other comprehensive income).  These guidelines also specify that bank holding companies that are experiencing internal growth or making acquisitions will be expected to maintain strong capital positions substantially above the minimum supervisory levels.  At March 31, 2014, the Company was in compliance with all of these requirements.

Under current Office of Financial Institutions regulations, the Bank is required to maintain certain levels of capital.  At March 31, 2014 the Bank was in compliance with its regulatory capital requirements as follows:

For the Bank to be well capitalized under current risk-based capital standards, it is required to have Tier I capital of at least 6% and total risk-based capital of 10%.  Based on these standards, the Bank is categorized as well capitalized at March 31, 2014.  Management believes that under current regulations, the Bank will continue to meet its minimum capital requirements in the foreseeable future. Events beyond the control of the Bank, such as increased interest rates or a downturn in the economy in areas in which the Bank operates could adversely affect future earnings and as a result, the ability of the Bank to meet its future minimum capital requirements.

The Bank’s liquidity is a measure of its ability to fund loans, pay withdrawals of deposits, and other cash outflows in an efficient, cost effective manner. The Bank’s primary sources of funds are deposits, scheduled amortization and prepayments on loan and mortgage-backed securities, and advances from the FHLB.  As of March 31, 2014, FHLB borrowed funds totaled $108.6 million.  FHLB advances are collateralized by a blanket-floating lien on the Company’s residential real estate first mortgage loans.  Additional borrowing capacity of approximately $197.4 million is available from the FHLB based on current collateral levels.  The Bank, if the need arises, may also access a line of credit in the amount of $62.3 million provided by two banks to supplement its supply of lendable funds and to meet deposit withdrawal requirements.  Loan repayments, maturing investments and mortgage-backed securities prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates and economic conditions.

The Bank is required to maintain sufficient liquidity for its safe and sound operation. The Bank believes that it maintains sufficient liquidity to operate the Bank in a safe and sound manner.

INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY

At March 31, 2014 the Company was in a slightly liability sensitive position.  Generally, a liability sensitive position will be detrimental to earnings in a rising interest rate environment and will enhance earnings in a falling interest rate environment.  Conversely, an asset sensitive position will result in enhanced earnings in a rising interest rate environment and declining earnings in a falling interest rate environment because larger volumes of assets than liabilities will reprice.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.     LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On February 3, 2014, a putative shareholder class action lawsuit captioned John Solak v. Teche Holding Company, IBERIABANK Corporation, et al., Case No. 123884, was filed in the 16th Judicial District Court for the Parish of Iberia of the State of Louisiana against IBERIABANK Corporation, Teche and members of Teche’s board of directors. That suit subsequently was amended to assert, among other things, that the Teche directors breached their fiduciary duties and/or   violated Louisiana state law and that IBERIABANK Corporation and Teche conspired with the directors in those alleged breaches of fiduciary duty.
 
 
36

 
All defendants filed exceptions to the suit seeking dismissal. Teche and IBERIABANK Corporation filed exceptions of no cause of action and no right of action. The directors filed an exception of no right of action. On April 15, 2014, the district court ruled in favor of defendants, finding that plaintiff had no individual right of action and dismissing all claims against Teche and IBERIABANK Corporation. The court granted plaintiff seven days within which he could amend the suit to state a derivative claim and on April 22, 2014 the plaintiff filed an amended complaint against the individual directors of Teche and naming Teche as a nominal defendant.  The plaintiff seeks to enjoin the merger. Teche and the individual directors intend to vigorously defend against the lawsuit.
 
With the exception of this matter, neither the Company nor the Bank was engaged in any legal proceeding of a material nature at March 31, 2014.  From time to time, the Company is a party to legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business wherein it enforces its security interest in loans.
