SUNSHINE FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)


1.    Organization and Basis of Presentation
 
Sunshine Financial, Inc. ("Sunshine Financial" or the "Holding Company"), a Maryland corporation, is the holding company for Sunshine Savings Bank (the "Bank") and owns all the outstanding common stock of the Bank.

 
The Holding Company's only business is the operation of the Bank.  The Bank through its four banking offices provides a variety of retail community banking services to individuals and businesses primarily in Leon County, Florida. The Bank's deposits are insured up to the applicable limits by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Bank's subsidiary is Sunshine Member Insurance Services, Inc. ("SMSI"), which was established to sell automobile warranty and credit life and disability insurance products associated with loan products. Collectively the entities are referred to as the "Company."

 
These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 8-03 of Regulation S-X and do not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for a complete presentation of the Company's financial condition and results of operations.

 
In the opinion of management, the information reflects all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading and for a fair representation of the results of operations for such periods.  The results for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 should not be considered as indicative of results for a full year.

2.    Recent Accounting Standards Update
 
In January 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2013-01 ("ASU 2013-01"), Balance Sheet (Topic 210), Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities.  ASU 2013-01 clarifies that the scope of ASU 2011-11 applies to derivatives accounted for in accordance with Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, including bifurcated embedded derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions that are either offset in accordance with Section 210-20-45 or Section 815-10-45 or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement.  ASU 2013-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods.  An entity should provide the required disclosures retrospectively for all comparative periods presented. The adoption of ASU 2013-01 had no effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

2.    Recent Accounting Standards Update, Continued
 
In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02 ("ASU 2013-02"), Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Topic 220). ASU 2013-02 requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required under GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. The Company adopted ASU 2013-02 in January 2013 and it had no impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

 
In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11 ("ASU 2013-11 "), Income Taxes (Topic 740) Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exist.  ASU 2013-11 requires an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, except in certain circumstances. The Company will adopt ASU 2013-11 in January 2014 and expects it will have no impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

 
Recent Regulatory Developments

 
Basel III Legislation.  On July 2, 2013, the Federal Reserve Board ("FRB") approved the final rules implementing the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision's capital guidelines for U.S. banks. Under the final rules, minimum requirements will increase for both the quantity and quality of capital held by the Bank. The rules include a new common equity Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of 4.5% and a common equity Tier 1 capital conservation buffer of 2.5% of risk-weighted assets. The final rules also raise the minimum ratio of Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets from 4.0% to 6.0% and require a minimum leverage ratio of 4.0%. The final rules also implement strict eligibility criteria for regulatory capital instruments. On July 9, 2013, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") also approved, as an interim final rule, the regulatory capital requirements for U.S. banks, following the actions of the FRB. The FDIC's rule is identical in substance to the final rules issued by the FRB.

 
 
The phase-in period for the final rules will begin for the Company on January 1, 2015, with full compliance with all of the final rule's requirements phased in over a multi-year schedule. We are currently evaluating the provisions of the final rules and their expected impact on us.

3.    Earnings (Loss) Per Share
 
Earnings (loss) per share ("EPS") has been computed on the basis of the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Outstanding stock options are considered dilutive securities for purposes of calculating diluted EPS which was computed using the treasury stock method. The shares purchased by the ESOP are included in the weighted-average shares when they are committed to be released (dollars in thousands, except per share amounts):

The Company has divided the loan portfolio into three portfolio segments and ten classes, each with different risk characteristics and methodologies for assessing risk. The portfolio segments identified by the Company are as follows:

Real Estate Mortgage Loans.  Real estate mortgage loans are loans comprised of four classes: One- to four-family, Lot loans, Commercial real estate and Construction loans. The Company generally originates one- to four-family mortgage loans in amounts up to 80% of the lesser of the appraised value or purchase price of a mortgaged property, but will also permit loan-to-value ratios of up to 95%. For one- to four-family loans exceeding an 80% loan-to-value ratio, the Company generally requires the borrower to obtain private mortgage insurance covering any loss on the amount of the loan in excess of 80% in the event of foreclosure. The Company also makes loans for the purchase of developed lots for future construction of the borrower's primary residence.  We will generally originate lot loans in an amount up to 75% of the lower of the purchase price or appraisal and have a maximum amortization of up to 20 years and maturities up to 20 years. Commercial real estate loans are generally originated at 75% or less loan-to-value ratio and have amortization terms of up to 20 years and maturities of up to ten years.  Construction loans to borrowers are to finance the construction of one- to four-family, owner occupied properties. These loans are categorized as construction loans during the construction period, later converting to residential real estate loans after the construction is complete and amortization of the loan begins. Real estate construction loan funds are disbursed periodically based on the percentage of construction completed.  If the estimate of construction cost proves to be inaccurate, the Company may be compelled to advance additional funds to complete the construction with repayment dependent, in part, on the success of the ultimate project rather than the ability of a borrower to repay the loan.  The Company carefully monitors these loans with on-site inspections and requires the receipt of lien waivers on funds advanced. Construction loans are typically secured by the properties under construction. Construction and lot loan lending is generally considered to involve a higher degree of credit risk than long-term permanent financing of residential properties.

Commercial Loans.  Commercial loans are comprised of unsecured loans.  The Company offers unsecured commercial loans generally to its commercial real estate borrowers.

Consumer Loans.  Consumer loans are comprised of five classes: Home Equity, Automobile, Credit cards and unsecured, Deposit account and Other.  The Company offers a variety of secured consumer loans, including home equity, new and used automobile, boat and other recreational vehicle loans, and loans secured by deposit accounts.  The Company also offers unsecured consumer loans including a credit card product.  The Company originates its consumer loans primarily in its market area.  Repayment of these loans is primarily dependent on the personal income of the borrowers, which can be impacted by economic conditions in their market areas such as unemployment levels. Loans to consumers are extended after a credit evaluation, including the creditworthiness of the borrower(s), the purpose of the credit, and the secondary source of repayment. Consumer loans are made at fixed and variable interest rates and may be made on terms of up to twenty years. Risk is mitigated by the fact that the loans are of smaller individual amounts and spread over a large number of borrowers.

Internally assigned loan grades are defined as follows:

 
Pass – A Pass loan's primary source of loan repayment is satisfactory, with secondary sources very likely to be realized if necessary.

 
Special Mention – A Special Mention loan 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 the Company's credit position at some future date.  Special Mention loans are not adversely classified and do not expose an institution to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification.

 
Substandard – A Substandard loan is inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any.  Loans so classified must have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

 
Doubtful – A loan classified Doubtful has all the weaknesses inherent in one classified Substandard with the added characteristics that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.

Loss – A loan classified Loss is considered uncollectible and of such little value that continuance as a bankable asset is not warranted.  This classification does not mean that the asset has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this basically worthless asset even though partial recovery may be affected in the future.

7.    Line of Credit
 
The Company has an unsecured federal funds line of credit for $4.4 million with a correspondent bank and a $15.2 million line with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta collateralized by a blanket lien on qualifying loans. At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had no outstanding balances on these lines.

8.    Off-Balance-Sheet Financial Instruments
 
The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers.  These financial instruments are unused lines of credit and commitments to extend credit and may involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest-rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheets.  The contract amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Company has in these financial instruments.

 
The Company's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for unused lines of credit and commitments to extend credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments.  The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

 
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract.  Commitments generally have fixed-expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee.  Since some of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.  The Company evaluates each customer's credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis.  The amount of collateral obtained if deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit is based on management's credit evaluation of the counterparty.

 
Unused lines of credit and commitments to extend credit typically result in loans with a market interest rate when funded.  A summary of the amounts of the Company's financial instruments, with off-balance-sheet risk follows at September 30, 2013 (in thousands):

Unused lines of credit (rates range from

10.  Employee Benefit Plans
 
The Company has a 401(k) plan for its employees who meet certain age and length-of-service requirements. Eligible employees can contribute up to $17,500 of their compensation to the plan on a pre-tax basis. Employer matching contributions are made at 100 percent of employee contribution up to five percent. Employer contributions made to the 401(k) plan were $78,000 and $78,000 for the nine-months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

11.  Employee Stock Ownership Plan
 
Effective April 5, 2011, upon closing of its stock offering, the Holding Company established an ESOP which acquired 8% of the total number of shares of common stock sold during the initial public offering.  A total of 98,756 shares were acquired in exchange for a $988,000 note payable to the Holding Company.  The note bears interest at a fixed rate of 4.25%, is payable in annual installments and is due in 2021.   The employer expense was $11,000 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2013 and $19,000 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2012.  The employer expense was $42,000 and $58,000 for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012, respectively.

14.  Regulatory Matters
 
The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies.  Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company's and the Bank's financial statements.  Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank's assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices.  The Bank's capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

 
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined).  Management believes, as of September 30, 2013, that the Bank met all capital adequacy requirements to which it was subject.

 
At September 30, 2013, the Bank was categorized 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 I risk-based, and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the table.  There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the institution's category.

 
The Bank's actual regulatory capital amounts and percentages are presented in the table ($ in thousands).

15.  Adoption of Plan of Reorganization and Subsequent Stock Issuance
 
On April 5, 2011, in accordance with the plan of conversion and reorganization adopted by its Board of Directors and approved by its members, the Bank converted from a mutual holding company to a stock holding company form of organization, with the Bank becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Holding Company.  The conversion and reorganization was accomplished through the sale and issuance of 1,234,454 shares of common stock at a price of $10 per share, through which the Holding Company received proceeds of approximately $10.5 million, net of offering expenses of approximately $847,000.

 
In accordance with Office of the Comptroller of the Currency ("OCC") (formerly Office of Thrift Supervision) regulations, upon the completion of the conversion, the Bank restricted retained earnings by establishing a liquidation account. The liquidation account will be maintained for the benefit of eligible account holders who continue to maintain their accounts at the Bank after conversion. The liquidation account will be reduced annually to the extent that eligible account holders have reduced their qualifying deposits. Subsequent increases will not restore an eligible account holder’s interest in the liquidation account. In the event of a complete liquidation of the Bank, and only in such event, each account holder will be entitled to receive a distribution from the liquidation account in an amount proportionate to the adjusted qualifying account balances then held. The Bank may not pay dividends if those dividends would reduce equity capital below the required liquidation account amount.

SUNSHINE FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES


General

Sunshine Financial is the holding company for its wholly owned subsidiary, Sunshine Savings Bank. Sunshine Savings Bank was originally chartered as a credit union in 1952 as Sunshine State Credit Union to serve state government employees in the metropolitan Tallahassee area.  On July 1, 2007, we converted from a state-chartered credit union known as Sunshine State Credit Union to a federal mutual savings bank known as Sunshine Savings Bank, and in 2009 reorganized into the non-stock mutual holding company structure.  On April 5, 2011, Sunshine Financial completed a public offering as part of the Sunshine Saving Bank's conversion and reorganization from a non-stock mutual holding company to a fully public stock holding company structure.  References to we, us and our throughout this document refer to Sunshine Financial and Sunshine Savings Bank, as the context requires.

We currently operate out of four full-service branch offices serving the Tallahassee, Florida metropolitan area.  Our principal business consists of attracting retail deposits from the general public and investing those funds in loans secured by first and second mortgages on one- to four-family residences, commercial real estate, home equity loans and lines of credit, lot loans, and direct automobile, credit card and other consumer loans.

On September 26, 2013 the Bank purchased the buildings, real estate, fixtures and equipment of two former bank branch offices in Tallahassee, Florida, from Centennial Bank for an aggregate purchase price of $2.1 million.  The properties have been acquired as future branch locations of the Bank.  One of the properties is located in the rapidly growing section of Southwood, which is anchored by various agencies of the State of Florida Government.  The second property is situated directly across from Tallahassee Community College and the Lively Technical Institute.  This property is also in the same market area as the Leon County School Board, the Leon County Sheriff’s Department as well as the Leon County and City of Tallahassee Maintenance Departments.  Presently, Sunshine Savings Bank has no banking facilities convenient to either of these two strategically important areas of Western and Southeast Tallahassee.  Management believes that both facilities are located in high traffic growth areas strategically important to the future growth and profitability of the Bank.

The Bank anticipates opening branches at these locations within the next few years.  In the meantime, management has estimated that this acquisition will increase the Bank’s expenses by approximately $10,000 per month, which has been more than offset through an internal reorganization.

We offer a variety of deposit accounts, which are our primary source of funding for our lending activities.

Our operations are significantly affected by prevailing economic conditions as well as government policies and regulations concerning, among other things, monetary and fiscal affairs, housing and financial institutions.  Deposit flows are influenced by a number of factors, including interest rates paid on competing time deposits, other investments, account maturities, and the overall level of personal income and savings.  Lending activities are influenced by the demand for funds, the number and quality of lenders, and regional economic cycles.  Sources of funds for lending activities include primarily deposits, borrowings, payments on loans and income provided from operations.


 
25
 
 

SUNSHINE FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES


Our primary source of pre-tax income is net interest income. Net interest income is the difference between interest income, which is the income that we earn on our loans and investments, and interest expense, which is the interest that we pay on our deposits and borrowings. Changes in levels of interest rates affect our net interest income. A secondary source of income is noninterest income, which includes revenue we receive from providing products and services and gain on loan sales. Our noninterest expense has typically exceeded our net interest income and we have relied primarily upon noninterest income to supplement our net interest income and to achieve earnings.

Our noninterest expenses consist primarily of salaries and employee benefits, general and administrative, occupancy and equipment, data processing services, professional services, marketing expenses and expenses related to foreclosed real estate. Salaries and benefits consist primarily of the salaries and wages paid to our employees, payroll taxes, expenses for retirement and other employee benefits. Occupancy and equipment expenses, which are the fixed and variable costs of building and equipment, consist primarily of lease payments, taxes, depreciation charges, maintenance and costs of utilities.

Critical Accounting Policies

Certain of our accounting policies are important to the portrayal of our financial condition, since they require management to make difficult, complex or subjective judgments, some of which may relate to matters that are inherently uncertain.  Estimates associated with these policies are susceptible to material changes as a result of changes in facts and circumstances.  Facts and circumstances which could affect these judgments include, but are not limited to, changes in interest rates, changes in the performance of the economy and changes in the financial condition of borrowers.  Management believes that its critical accounting policies include, determining the allowance for loan losses, valuation of foreclosed real estate and accounting for deferred income taxes.

Foreclosed Real Estate.  Assets acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are held for sale and are initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell at the date of foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis.  After foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management and the assets are carried at the lower of the new cost basis or fair value less costs to sell.  Revenue and expenses from operations are included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

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 operations.  Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectability of a loan balance is confirmed.  Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. There were no changes in the Bank's accounting policies or methodology during the periods ended September 30, 2013 or 2012.

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.



 
26
 
 

SUNSHINE FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES


The allowance consists of specific and general components.  The specific component relates to loans that are classified as impaired.  For such loans, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows, collateral value or observable market price of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan.  The general component covers all other loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors.

The historical loss component of the allowance is determined by losses recognized by portfolio segment over the preceding two years. This is supplemented by the risks for each portfolio segment. Risk factors impacting loans in each of the portfolio segments include changes in lending policies and procedures, economic conditions, volume and nature of loans, lending management experience, volume of troubled loans, quality of loan review system, value of collateral-dependent loans, credit concentrations and competition and regulatory change. The historical experience is adjusted for qualitative factors such as economic conditions and other trends or uncertainties that could affect management's estimate of probable losses.

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. 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 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.

Deferred Tax Assets.  Income taxes are reflected in our financial statements to show the tax effects of the operations and transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently payable plus deferred taxes.  Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require the asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for deferred income taxes.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities result from differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities.  They are reflected at currently enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which the deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be realized or settled and are determined using the assets and liability method of accounting.  The deferred income provision represents the difference between net deferred tax asset/liability at the beginning and end of the reported period.  In formulating our deferred tax asset, we are required to estimate our income and taxes in the jurisdiction in which we operate.  This process involves estimating our actual current tax exposure for the reported period together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items, such as depreciation and the provision for loan losses, for tax and financial reporting purposes.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are the expected future tax amounts for the temporary differences between carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities, computed using enacted tax rates.  The realization of deferred tax assets is dependent on results of future operations.  A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

Comparison of Financial Condition at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012


General.  Total assets increased $2.5 million, or 1.7%, to $149.9 million at September 30, 2013 from $147.4 million at December 31, 2012. The increase in total assets was due primarily to increases in securities held to maturity, premises and equipment, and interest-bearing deposits with banks, partially offset by decreases in loans and foreclosed real estate.  Our securities held to maturity increased $2.9 million, premises and equipment increased $1.8 million, interest-bearing deposits with banks increased $2.3 million, loans decreased $2.2 million and foreclosed real estate decreased $1.3 million since December 31, 2012.  Premises and equipment increased as a result of the purchase of the two former bank branches discussed above and securities held to maturity increased due to purchases because of low loan demand. The net increase was funded by a $2.1 million increase in deposits, primarily savings deposit accounts.

Loans.  Our net loan portfolio decreased $2.2 million, to $93.1 million at September 30, 2013 from $95.3 million at December 31, 2012.  Commercial real estate mortgage loans increased $6.6 million, and commercial unsecured loans increased $0.1 million, while other real estate mortgage loans decreased $9.8 million and consumer loans decreased $0.7 million.   We originate and sell one- to four-family real estate mortgage loans to Freddie Mac to generate additional income.  For the nine-months ended September 30, 2013, we originated $7.8 million of one- to four-family mortgage loans for sale, and realized proceeds from sales of $8.0 million were sold to Freddie Mac.  A gain on sale of $401,000 included recording a $278,000 loan servicing asset.

Allowance for Loan Losses.  Our allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2013 was $1.4 million, or 1.49% of loans receivable, compared to $1.5 million, or 1.56% of loans receivable, at December 31, 2012.  Nonperforming loans decreased to $1.6 million at September 30, 2013 from $2.3 million at December 31, 2012 due primarily to a $744,000 decline in nonperforming single family mortgage loans primarily due to improving economic conditions in our market area and our continued focus on credit administration.  Nonperforming loans to total loans decreased to 1.67% at September 30, 2013 from 2.35% at December 31, 2012 due to the decrease in the nonperforming loans.  Loans on nonaccrual which were less than ninety days past due totaled $331,000 at September 30, 2013 compared to $323,000 million at December 31, 2012.

Deposits.  Total deposits increased $2.1 million, or 1.7%, to $123.8 million at September 30, 2013 from $121.7 million at December 31, 2012.  This increase was due primarily to increases in savings accounts, money-market deposits, and noninterest bearing, partially offset by decreases in time deposits.

Equity.  Total stockholders' equity increased $101,000 to $25.0 million at September 30, 2013.  This increase was due to net income of $401,000, stock-based compensation of $58,000, ESOP compensation expense of $42,000, offset by $400,000 in stock buy-backs for the nine-months ended September 30, 2013.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended September 30, 2013 and 2012

General. Net earnings for the three months ended September 30, 2013 was $46,000 compared to a net loss of $(44,000) for the three months ended September 30, 2012, resulting in an annualized return on average assets of 0.12 % for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and annualized loss of (0.12)% for the three months ended September 30, 2012.  The increase in net earnings was due primarily to a decrease in our provision for loan loss, a decrease in our noninterest expense, partially offset by a decrease in noninterest income.

Net Interest Income.  Net interest income decreased $26,000, or 1.9%, to $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 from $1.3 million for the same period in 2012, primarily due to the decline in the average rate of our loan portfolio, partially offset by our lower cost of deposits.  Our interest-rate-spread decreased to 3.79% for the three months ended September 30, 2013 from 3.95% for the same period in 2012, while our net interest margin decreased to 3.89% from 4.08%.  The ratio of average interest-earning assets to average interest-bearing liabilities for the three months ended September 30, 2013 increased to 1.36x, from 1.34x for the three months ended September 30, 2012.

Interest Income. Interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2013 decreased $54,000, or 3.7%, to $1.4 million from $1.5 million for the same period ended September 30, 2012.  The decrease in interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2013 was primarily due to lower average rates on loans receivable, partially offset by higher average balances of investments.  Average interest-earning investments increased to $18.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $11.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012.  In addition, the average yield on loans decreased 41 basis points to 5.55% from 5.96%.  Overall the average yield on average earning assets decreased 28 basis points to 4.19% from 4.47%.

Interest Expense. Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2013 was $100,000 compared to $128,000 for the same period in 2012, a decrease of $28,000 or 21.9%.  The decrease was primarily the result of decreases in the average rate paid on time deposits, money-market deposits and statement savings accounts.  The average balance of time deposits decreased to $30.4 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2013 from $32.8 million for the same period in 2012 and the average rate paid on time deposits decreased to 0.51% from 0.71% as certificates of deposit re-priced at lower market rates. The average rate paid on MMDA and statement savings decreased from 0.43% to 0.35%.  The total cost of funds for the three months ended September 30, 2013 decreased to 0.40 % from 0.52% for the three months ended September 30, 2012, reflecting the lower interest rate environment.

Provision for Loan Losses.  We provisioned $50,000 for loan losses of for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $270,000 for the same period in 2012.  The provision for loan losses reflected the decrease in net charge-offs and the decrease in nonperforming single family mortgage loans in foreclosure.  Net charge-offs for the three months ended September 30, 2013 were $98,000 compared to $211,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012. For the three months ended September 30, 2013, net charge-offs consisted of $33,000 for credit card and unsecured loans, $57,000 for one-to four-family loans, $10,000 for lot loans, a net recovery of $1,000 for home equity loans, and a net recovery of $1,000 for automobile loans.  For the same period in 2012, net charge-offs consisted of $36,000 for credit card and unsecured loans, $63,000 for home equity  loans, $92,000 for one-to four-family loans, $22,000 for other consumer loans, and a net recovery of $2,000 for automobile loans. As of September 30, 2013, the Bank was in the process of foreclosure on seven single family real estate loans.  As of September 30, 2012, the Bank was in the process of foreclosure on fifteen single family real estate loans. Nonperforming loans to total loans at September 30, 2013 were 1.67% compared to 2.72% at September 30, 2012.  The allowance for loan losses to loans receivable was 1.49% at September 30, 2013 compared to 1.61% at September 30, 2012.

Management considers the allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2013 to be adequate to cover losses inherent in the loan portfolio based on the assessment of the above-mentioned factors affecting the loan portfolio. While management believes the estimates and assumptions used in its determination of the adequacy of the allowance are reasonable, there can be no assurance that such estimates and assumptions will not be proven incorrect in the future, or that the actual amount of future losses will not exceed the amount of the established allowance for loan losses or that any increased allowance for loan losses that may be required will not adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the determination of the amount of our allowance for loan losses is subject to review by bank regulators, as part of the routine examination process, which may result in additions to our provision for loan losses based upon their judgment of information available to them at the time of their examination.

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income for the three months ended September 30, 2013 decreased $129,000, or 17.7%, to $601,000 compared to $730,000 for the same period in 2012.  Gain on loan sales decreased $155,000, while fees and service charges on deposit accounts decreased $83,000 which were partially offset by a $107,000 increase in gain on sale of foreclosed real estate for the three months ended September 30, 2013, compared to the same period last year.  The primary cause for the decrease in gain on loan sales was the significantly lower volumes of loans sales. The primary cause for the decrease in fees from deposit accounts was a decrease in income from NSF fees on transaction accounts.

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2013 decreased $85,000, or 4.5%, to $1,799,000 compared to $1,884,000 for the same period in 2012.  The largest increase occurred in occupancy and equipment which increased $38,000, or 14.1%, to $308,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013, from $270,000 for the same period last year.  The increase in occupancy and equipment expense was primarily due to real estate taxes and depreciation due to the purchase of two branch facilities in June 2013.  The largest decreases were telephone and postage, foreclosed real estate and other expenses.  Telephone and postage expense decreased $26,000, or 31.0%, to $58,000, foreclosed real estate expense decreased $44,000, or 45.8%, to $52,000, and other expense decreased $31,000, or 19.3% to $130,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2013.  Telephone and postage expense decreased primarily due to lower postage expense.  Foreclosed real estate expense was lower primarily due to fewer properties owned and in the process of foreclosure.  Other expense decreased due to lower loan acquisition expense and numerous other miscellaneous line items.

Income Taxes. For the three months ended September 30, 2013, we recorded income taxes of $26,000 on before tax earnings of $72,000.  For the three months ended September 30, 2012, we recorded an income tax benefit of $34,000 on a before tax loss of $78,000.  Our effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2013 was 36.1% compared to (43.6)% for the same time period in 2012.

SUNSHINE FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013 and 2012


General.  Net earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $401,000 compared to a net loss of $(670,000) for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, resulting in an annualized return on average assets of 0.36% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and a net loss on average assets of (0.62) % for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.  The increase in net earnings was due primarily to a decrease in our provision for loan loss and an increase in noninterest income, partially offset by an increase in noninterest expense.

Net Interest Income.  Net interest income decreased $44,000, or 1.1%, to $ 3,999,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from $4,043,000 for the same period in 2012, primarily due to the decline in average balance and yield of our loan portfolio, partially offset by our lower cost of deposits.  Our interest-rate-spread decreased to 3.82% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from 3.90% for the same period in 2012, while our net interest margin decreased to 3.93% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from 4.06% for the same period in 2012.  The ratio of average interest-earning assets to average interest-bearing liabilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 increased to 1.37x, from 1.35x for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Interest Income. Interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 decreased $174,000, or 3.9%, to $4,308,000 from $4,482,000 for the same period ended September 30, 2012.  The decrease in interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was primarily due to lower average balances of loans receivable and an 18 basis point decline in the yield earned on loans, partially offset by an increase in the average balance of investment securities.  Average balances of interest-earning loans decreased to $94.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to $96.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, while the average balance of investment securities increased to $15.9 million from $9.7 million during that same period.

Interest Expense. Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $309,000 compared to $439,000 for the same period in 2012, a decrease of $130,000 or 29.6%.  The decrease was primarily the result of a decrease in the average rate paid on deposits reflecting the low interest rate environment.  The average balance of time deposits decreased to $30.6 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 from $34.0 million for the same period in 2012 and the average rate paid on certificates of deposit decreased to 0.54% from 0.74% as certificates of deposit re-priced at lower market rates.   The total cost of funds for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 decreased to 0.42% from 0.64% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Provision for Loan Losses.  We recorded a provision for loan losses of $2,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and a provision for loan losses of $1,450,000 for the same period in 2012.  The provision for loan losses reflected the decrease in net loan charge-offs and in nonperforming single family mortgage loans in foreclosure.  Net charge-offs for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 were $131,000 compared to $1,253,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. For the first nine months of 2013, net charge-offs consisted of $56,000 for credit card and unsecured loans, $32,000 for lot loans, $196,000 for one-to four-family loans, $9,000 for other  consumer loans, and a net recovery of $159,000 for home equity loans and $3,000 for automobile loans.  For the first nine months of 2012, net charge-offs consisted of $147,000 for credit card and unsecured loans, $289,000 for home equity loans, $123,000 for lot loans, $573,000 for one-to four-family loans, $114,000 for other  consumer loans, and $7,000 for automobile loans.

Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, Continued


Noninterest Income. Noninterest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 increased $383,000, or 19.7%, to $2,328,000 compared to $1,945,000 for the same period in 2012. Gain on the sale of foreclosed real estate increased $298,000, gain on loan sales increased $144,000, and other income increased $117,000.  Gains on loans sales increased $144,000 primarily due to an increase in the mortgage servicing assets.  Fees and service charges on deposit accounts decreased $171,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The primary cause for the decrease in fees from deposit accounts was a decrease in income from NSF fees on transaction accounts.  Other income increased due to a one time recovery of a previously written off asset.

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $5,671,000 compared to $5,614,000 for the same period in 2012, an increase of $57,000 or 1.0%.  The largest increase occurred in occupancy and equipment expense which increased $44,000, or 5.3%, to $870,000 compared to $826,000 for the same period in 2012.  The increase in occupancy and equipment expense was primarily due to real estate taxes and depreciation due to the purchase of two branch facilities in June 2013. In addition, other expense increased $40,000, or 8.2%.  The increase in other expense was due to an increase in debit card losses, appraisal fees and loan acquisition expense, and other loan expense.  Professional fees increased $30,000 from 2012 primarily due to an increase in legal and accounting fees associated with our annual meeting and complying with SEC regulations.  Telephone and postage expense decreased primarily due to lower postage expense.  Foreclosed real estate expense was lower primarily due to fewer properties owned and in the process of foreclosure.

Income Taxes. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we recorded income taxes of $253,000 on before tax earnings of $654,000.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we recorded an income tax benefit of $406,000 on a before tax loss of $1,076,000.  Our effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was 38.7% compared to (37.7)% for the same time period in 2012.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

The Company provided information about market risk in Item 7A of its 2012 Form 10-K.  There have been no material changes in our market risk since our 2012 Form 10-K.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

An evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Act")) as of September 30, 2013, was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and several other members of the Company's senior management. The Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures in effect as of September 30, 2013, 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 the Company's management (including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief 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.

In addition, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Act) that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2013, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

The Company does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting 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 simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls may be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by 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.
