Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1 – Organization

PB Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) is a Maryland corporation incorporated in 2015 to be the successor to PSB Holdings, Inc. upon completion of the second-step mutual-to-stock conversion (the “Conversion”) of Putnam Bancorp, MHC (the “MHC”), the top tier mutual holding company of PSB Holdings, Inc.   PSB Holdings, Inc. was the former mid-tier holding company for Putnam Bank (the “Bank”).  Prior to completion of the Conversion, a majority of the shares of common stock of PSB Holdings, Inc. were owned by the MHC.  In conjunction with the Conversion, the MHC and PSB Holdings, Inc. merged into the Company and the Company became PSB Holdings, Inc.’s successor.  The Conversion was completed on January 7, 2016.  The Company raised gross proceeds of $33.7 million in the related stock offering.  Concurrent with the completion of the stock offering, each share of PSB Holdings, Inc. stock owned by public stockholders (stockholders other than the MHC) was exchanged for 1.1907 shares of Company common stock.  The Conversion was accounted for as a capital raising transaction by entities under common control.  The historical financial results of the MHC were immaterial to the results of the Company and therefore the net assets of the MHC were reflected as an increase to stockholders’ equity.  

NOTE 2 – Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial statements and the instructions to Form 10-Q, and accordingly 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, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary, consisting of only normal recurring accruals and the elimination of all significant intercompany accounts, to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the periods presented. The interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for future periods, including the fiscal year ending June 30, 2019. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 2018 consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in PB Bancorp, Inc.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (‘’SEC’’) on September 21, 2018.

NOTE 3 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02,  Leases (Topic 842),  which supersedes the requirements in Topic 840, Leases. The objective of Topic 842 is to establish the principles that lessees and lessors shall apply to report useful information to users of financial statements about the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from a lease. The core principle of Topic 842 is that a lessee should recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from leases. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application of the amendments in this Update is permitted for all entities. It is expected that assets and liabilities will increase based on the present value of remaining lease payments for leases in place at the adoption date; however, based on the current level of long-term leases in place, this is not expected to be material to the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326), which requires entities to measure all expected credit losses for certain financial assets (such as loans and held-to-maturity securities) held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts.  Entities will now use forward-looking information to better form their credit loss estimates.  The ASU also requires enhanced disclosures to help financial statement users better understand significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of an entity’s portfolio. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early application will be permitted for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018.  Management is currently working to implement these requirements to determine the potential impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.  The amendments in this update simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test.  Instead, an entity will be required to perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity will recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized will not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Additionally, an entity will consider income tax effects from any tax deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable.  For public business entities, the amendments are effective for annual and any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020.  Early adoption is permitted.  We do not expect the application of this guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), which amends the disclosure requirements by adding, changing, or removing certain disclosures about recurring or non-recurring fair value measurements. This ASU will be effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this update will not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 4 - Critical Accounting Policies

Critical accounting policies are those that involve significant judgments and assumptions by management that have, or could have, a material impact on our income or the carrying value of our assets. Our critical accounting policies are those related to the allowance for loan losses, realizability of deferred income taxes, valuation of goodwill and the impairment of securities.

Allowance for Loan Losses . The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectability of a loan balance is confirmed.

The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a quarterly basis by management. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. The allowance consists of general, specific and unallocated components, as further described below.

General component

The general component of the allowance for loan losses is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors stratified by the following loan segments: residential real estate, commercial real estate, residential construction, commercial and consumer/other. Management uses a rolling average of historical losses based on a time frame appropriate to capture relevant loss data for each loan segment. This historical loss factor is adjusted for the following qualitative factors: levels/trends in delinquencies; trends in volume and terms of loans; concentrations; changes in lending policies and procedures; experience/ability/depth of lending management and staff; loan rating migration; the effect of other external factors; changes in the value of underlying collateral; changes in the loan review system and national and local economic trends and conditions. The Company calculates historical losses using a five-year rolling average, which is considered indicative of the risk in the Company’s current loan portfolio. There were no changes in the Company’s policies or methodology pertaining to the general component of the allowance for loan losses through December 31, 2018.

The qualitative factors are determined based on the various risk characteristics of each loan segment. Risk characteristics relevant to each portfolio segment are as follows:

Residential real estate - The Company does not originate loans with a loan-to-value ratio greater than 100% and does not originate subprime loans. Loans originated with a loan-to-value ratio greater than 80% generally require private mortgage insurance. All loans in this segment are collateralized by owner-occupied residential real estate and repayment is dependent on the credit quality of the individual borrower. The overall health of the economy, including unemployment rates and housing prices, will have an effect on the credit quality in this segment.

Commercial real estate - Loans in this segment are primarily income-producing properties throughout New England. The underlying cash flows generated by the properties are adversely impacted by a downturn in the economy as evidenced by increased vacancy rates, which in turn, will have an effect on the credit quality in this segment. Management obtains rent rolls annually and continually monitors the cash flows of these loans.

Residential Construction – Loans in this segment include speculative real estate development loans for which payment is derived from sale of the property. Credit risk is affected by the accuracy of estimated costs to complete the project, cost overruns, time to sell at an adequate price, and market conditions.

Commercial – Loans in this segment are made to businesses and are generally secured by assets of the business. Repayment is expected from the cash flows of the business. A weakened economy, and resultant decreased consumer spending, will have an effect on the credit quality in this segment.

Consumer/other - Loans in this segment are generally unsecured and repayment is dependent on the credit quality of the individual borrower.

Specific component

The specific component relates to loans that are classified as impaired. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent or foreclosure is probable. An allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Accordingly, the Company does not separately identify individual consumer/other and residential real estate loans for impairment disclosures, unless such loans are non-accrual or subject to a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) agreement.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal or interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. 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.

The Company periodically may agree to modify the contractual terms of loans. When a loan is modified and a concession is made to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty, the modification is considered a TDR. All TDRs are classified as impaired.

Unallocated component

An unallocated component is maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect management’s estimate of probable losses. The unallocated component of the allowance reflects the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating specific and general reserves in the portfolio.

Goodwill . Goodwill is measured as the excess of the cost of a business acquisition over the sum of the amounts assigned to identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired less liabilities assumed. Goodwill is not amortized but is subject to a review of qualitative factors annually or more frequently if circumstances warrant, to determine if an impairment test is required. If required, the Company uses the following two-step approach for reviewing goodwill for impairment:

The first step (“Step 1”) is used to identify potential impairment, and involves comparing the reporting unit’s (the consolidated Company) estimated fair value to its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the estimated fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill is not deemed to be impaired. Should the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceed its estimated fair value, an indicator of impairment is deemed to exist and a second step is performed to measure the amount of such impairment, if any. The second step (“Step 2”) involves calculating the implied fair value of goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in a manner similar to how the amount of goodwill is determined in a business combination (i.e. by measuring the excess of the estimated fair value, as determined in Step 1, over the aggregate estimated fair values of the individual assets, liabilities, and identifiable intangibles as of the impairment testing date). If the implied fair value of goodwill exceeds the carrying amount of goodwill assigned to the reporting unit, no impairment exists. If the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of the goodwill, an impairment loss is recorded in an amount equal to such excess. An impairment loss cannot exceed the carrying amount of goodwill, and the loss (write-down) establishes a new carrying amount for the goodwill. Subsequent reversal of goodwill impairment losses is not permitted. Application of the goodwill impairment test requires significant judgments including estimation of future cash flows, which are dependent on internal forecasts, estimation of the long-term rate of growth, the period over which cash flows will occur, and determination of our cost of capital. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value and/or conclusions related to goodwill impairment.

See Note 3 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements for future changes to the accounting treatment of goodwill.

Other-Than-Temporary Impairment of Securities. Each reporting period, the Company evaluates all securities classified as available-for-sale or held-to-maturity, with a decline in fair value below the amortized cost of the investment to determine whether or not the impairment is deemed to be other-than-temporary (“OTTI”).

OTTI is required to be recognized if (1) the Company intends to sell the security; (2) it is “more likely than not” that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis; or (3) for debt securities, the present value of expected cash flows is not sufficient to recover the entire amortized cost basis. Marketable equity securities are evaluated for OTTI based on the severity and duration of the impairment and, if deemed to be other than temporary, the declines in fair value are reflected in earnings as realized losses. For impaired debt securities that the Company intends to sell, or more likely than not will be required to sell, the full amount of the depreciation is recognized as OTTI through earnings. For all other impaired debt securities, credit-related OTTI is recognized through earnings and non-credit related OTTI is recognized in other comprehensive income/loss, net of applicable taxes.

Income Taxes. The Company recognizes income taxes under the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are established for the temporary differences between the accounting basis and the tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities at enacted rates expected to be in effect when the amounts related to such temporary differences are realized or settled. A valuation allowance is established against deferred tax assets when, based upon the available evidence including historical and projected taxable income, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

On December 22, 2017, the President signed into law the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”). The Act includes a number of changes in existing tax law impacting businesses including, among other things, a permanent reduction in the corporate income tax rate from 34% to 21%, effective on January 1, 2018. As a result of this rate reduction, the Company revalued its net deferred tax asset as of December 22, 2017 resulting in a reduction in the value of the net deferred tax asset of $211,000, which was recorded as additional tax expense in the Company’s consolidated statements for the three months ended December 31, 2017. Included in the additional tax expense is $47,000 related to net unrealized losses on securities available-for-sale. The accounting treatment effectively stranded $47,000 of deferred tax items in accumulated other comprehensive income. The Company has developed a reasonable estimate of the other provisions of the Act in determining the current year income tax provision.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“AOCI”) , which allows a reclassification from AOCI to retained earnings to eliminate the stranded tax effects resulting from the Act. As permitted, the Company early adopted the ASU and recorded a $47,000 increase in retained earnings and corresponding decrease in AOCI as of January 1, 2018.

Management has discussed the development and selection of these critical accounting policies with the Audit Committee.

NOTE 5 – Earnings Per Share (EPS)

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. The rights to dividends on unvested options/awards are non-forfeitable, therefore the unvested awards/options are considered outstanding in the computation of basic earnings per share. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the Company. For purposes of computing diluted EPS, the treasury stock method is used.

The following information was used in the computation of EPS on both a basic and diluted basis for the three and six months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017:

For the three months ended December 31, 2018, options to purchase 387,330 shares were outstanding but not included in the computation of earnings per share because they were anti-dilutive. For the six months ended December 31, 2018, there were no anti-dilutive options not being included in the computation of diluted earnings per share.

There were no sales of available-for-sale securities for the three and six months ended December 31, 2018 or 2017. Gains and losses on the sales of securities are recorded on the trade date and are determined using the specific identification method. There were other-than-temporary impairment charges on available-for-sale securities of $4,000 realized in income during the three and six months ended December 31, 2018. The write-downs included total other-than-temporary impairment losses on non-agency mortgage-backed securities of $135,000, net of $131,000 recognized in other comprehensive loss, before taxes. There were no other-than temporary impairment losses during the three months ended December 31, 2017 and $1,000 in other-than impairment losses during the six months ended December 31, 2017. The write-downs included total other-than-temporary impairment losses on non-agency mortgage-backed securities of $2,000, net of $1,000 recognized in other comprehensive loss, before taxes.

The following is a summary of the estimated fair value and related unrealized losses segregated by category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position at:

Management evaluates securities for OTTI at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation.

At December 31, 2018, there were 91 individual investment securities with aggregate depreciation of 3.4% from the Company’s amortized cost basis. Management has the intent and ability to hold these securities until cost recovery occurs and considers these declines to be temporary.

The unrealized losses on the Company’s investment in U.S. Government-sponsored agency bonds and U.S. government-guaranteed and government-sponsored residential mortgage-backed securities were primarily caused by interest rate fluctuations. These investments are guaranteed or sponsored by the U.S. government or an agency thereof. Accordingly, it is expected that the securities would not be settled at a price less than the par value of the investment. Because the decline in market value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not to credit quality, and because the Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not that 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 these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2018.

The Company’s unrealized losses on investments in corporate bonds and other securities relate to investments in companies within the financial services sector. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had three investments in corporate single-issuer trust preferred securities (TRUPs) with a total book value of $4.0 million and total fair value of $3.5 million, all of which were classified as available-for-sale. The single-issuer trust preferred investments are evaluated for other-than-temporary impairment by performing a present value of cash flows calculation each quarter. None of the issuers have deferred interest payments or announced the intention to defer interest payments. The Company believes the decline in fair value is related to the spread over three-month LIBOR, on which the quarterly interest payments are based, as the spread over LIBOR being received is significantly lower than current market spreads. Management concluded the impairment of these investments was considered temporary and asserts that the Company does not have the intent to sell these investments and that it is more likely than not it will not have to sell the investments before recovery of their cost bases which may be at maturity.

At December 31, 2018, there was one state and political subdivision security that had an unrealized loss of 2.5% from the Company’s amortized cost basis. We believe the unrealized loss was primarily caused by interest rate fluctuations. This security is guaranteed by a school district located in Texas. Because the decline in market value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not to credit quality, and because the Company does not intend to sell the investment and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of its amortized cost basis, which may be at maturity, the Company does not consider this investment to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2018.

For the three and six months ended December 31, 2018, there was $4,000 in other-than-temporary impairment losses recognized in earnings. The other-than-temporary impairment losses were on non-agency mortgage-backed securities. The Company estimates the portion of possible loss attributable to credit loss using a discounted cash flow model. Significant inputs include the estimated cash flows of the underlying loans based on key assumptions, such as default rate, loss severity and prepayment rate. Assumptions can vary widely from security to security, and are influenced by such factors as loan interest rate, geographical location of the borrower, borrower characteristics and collateral type. The present value of the expected cash flows is compared to the Company’s amortized cost basis to determine if there was a credit-related impairment loss. Based on the expected cash flows derived from the model, the Company expects to recover the remaining unrealized losses on these securities.

The following table represents a roll-forward of the amount of credit losses on debt securities for which a portion of other-than-temporary impairment was recognized in other comprehensive loss:

(1) Residential real estate loans include one-to four-family mortgage loans, second mortgage loans, and home equity lines of credit.

Credit Quality Information

The Company utilizes a nine grade internal loan rating system as follows:

Loans rated 1 - 5 are considered “pass” rated loans with low to average risk.

Loans rated 6 are considered “special mention.” These loans are starting to show signs of potential weakness and are being closely monitored by management.

Loans rated 7 are considered “substandard.” Generally, a loan is considered substandard if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligors and/or the collateral pledged. There is a distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the weakness is not corrected.

Loans rated 8 are considered “doubtful.” Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, highly questionable and improbable.

Loans rated 9 are considered uncollectible (“loss”) and of such little value that their continuance as loans is not warranted.

On an annual basis, or more often if needed, the Company formally reviews the ratings on all commercial real estate, construction and commercial loans. Annually, the Company engages an independent third-party to review a significant portion of loans within these segments. Management uses the results of these reviews as part of its annual review process. Credit quality for residential real estate and consumer/other loans is determined by monitoring loan payment history and ongoing communications with the borrower.

The following table presents the Company’s loan classes by internally assigned grades at December 31, 2018 and June 30, 2018:

There were no material modifications deemed to be troubled debt restructures for the six months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.

There were no material troubled debt restructurings that subsequently defaulted (defined as 30 or more days past due subsequent to restructuring) within one year of modification during the three and six months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.

Management is focused on working with borrowers and guarantors to resolve non-accrual loans by restructuring or liquidating assets when prudent. Many of our commercial relationships are secured by development loans, in particular condominiums which have experienced a significant reduction in demand. The Company reviews the strength of the guarantors; requires face to face discussions and offers restructuring suggestions that provide the borrowers with short term relief and exit strategies. The Company obtains a current appraisal on all real estate secured loans that are 180 days or more past due if the appraisal on file is older than one year. If the determination is made that there is the potential for collateral shortfall, an allocated reserve will be assigned to the loan for the expected deficiency. It is the policy of the Company to charge off or write down loans or other assets when, in the opinion of the Credit Committee and Loan Review, the ultimate amount recoverable is less than the carrying value, or the collection of the amount is expected to be unduly prolonged. The level of non-performing assets is expected to fluctuate in response to changing economic and market conditions, and the relative sizes of the respective loan portfolios, along with management’s degree of success in resolving problem assets.

The following table sets forth information regarding past due loans at December 31, 2018 and June 30, 2018:

The following is a summary of information pertaining to impaired loans at December 31, 2018 and June 30, 2018, none of which had a valuation allowance:
