NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS

Ottawa Savings Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the United States on July 11, 2005, for the purpose of serving as the holding company of Ottawa Savings Bank (the “Bank”), as part of the Bank’s conversion from a mutual to a stock form of organization. The Company is a publicly traded banking company with assets of $182.3 million at September 30, 2012 and is headquartered in Ottawa, Illinois.

In 2005, the Board of Directors of the Bank unanimously adopted a plan of conversion providing for the conversion of the Bank from an Illinois chartered mutual savings bank to a federally chartered stock savings bank and the purchase of all of the common stock of the Bank by the Company.  The depositors of the Bank approved the plan at a meeting held in 2005.

In adopting the plan, the Board of Directors of the Bank determined that the conversion was advisable and in the best interests of its depositors and the Bank.  The conversion was completed in 2005 when the Company issued 1,223,701 shares of common stock to Ottawa Savings Bancorp MHC (a mutual holding company), and 1,001,210 shares of common stock to the public.  As of September 30, 2012, Ottawa Savings Bancorp MHC holds 1,223,701 shares of common stock, representing 57.8% of the Company’s common shares outstanding.

The Bank’s business is to attract deposits from the general public and use those funds to originate and purchase one-to-four family, multi-family and non-residential real estate, construction, commercial and consumer loans, which the Bank primarily holds for investment. The Bank has continually diversified its products to meet the needs of the community.

NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The consolidated financial statements presented in this quarterly report include the accounts of the Company and the Bank.  The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and predominant practices followed by the financial services industry, and are unaudited.  In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which the Company considers necessary to fairly state the Company’s financial position and the results of operations and cash flows have been recorded.  The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and accompanying notes of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2011. Certain amounts in the accompanying financial statements and footnotes for 2011 have been reclassified with no effect on net income (loss) or stockholders’ equity to be consistent with the 2012 classifications. The results of the Company’s operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of the Company’s operations for any other interim period or for a full fiscal year.

NOTE 3 – USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements.  Changes in these estimates and assumptions are considered reasonably possible and may have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements and, thus, actual results could differ from the amounts reported and disclosed herein.

At September 30, 2012, there were no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies from those disclosed in the Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 28, 2012.

NOTE 4 – CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

We consider accounting policies involving significant judgments and assumptions by management that have, or could have, a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets or on income to be critical accounting policies. We consider the allowance for loan losses and deferred income taxes to be our critical accounting policies.

Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is an amount necessary to absorb known or inherent losses that are both probable and reasonably estimable and is established through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon management’s periodic review of the collectibility of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect each 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.

A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that we 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. Impairment is measured on a loan by loan basis using 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 Income Taxes.  Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Deferred tax assets are also recognized for operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. Accounting guidance requires that companies assess whether a valuation allowance should be established against their deferred tax assets based on the consideration of all available evidence using a “more likely than not” standard.
 
Per accounting guidance, the Company reviewed its deferred tax assets at September 30, 2012 and determined that no valuation allowance was necessary.  Despite the prior year net operating loss and challenging economic environment, the Company has a history of strong earnings, is well-capitalized, and has positive expectations regarding future taxable income.
 
The deferred tax asset will be analyzed quarterly to determine if a valuation allowance is warranted. There can be no guarantee that a valuation allowance will not be necessary in future periods. In making such judgments, significant weight is given to evidence that can be objectively verified. In making decisions regarding any valuation allowance, the Company considers both positive and negative evidence and analyzes changes in near-term market conditions as well as other factors which may impact future operating results.

NOTE 6 – EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN
 
On July 11, 2005, the Company adopted an ESOP for the benefit of substantially all employees.  Upon adoption of the ESOP, the ESOP borrowed $763,140 from the Company and used those funds to acquire 76,314 shares of the Company's stock in the initial public offering at a price of $10.00 per share.
 
Shares purchased by the ESOP with the loan proceeds are held in a suspense account and are allocated to ESOP participants on a pro rata basis as principal and interest payments are made by the ESOP to the Company. The loan is secured by shares purchased with the loan proceeds and will be repaid by the ESOP with funds from the Company’s discretionary contributions to the ESOP and earnings on the ESOP assets. Annual principal and interest payments of approximately $77,000 are to be made by the ESOP.

As shares are released from collateral, the Company will report compensation expense equal to the current market price of the shares, and the shares will become outstanding for earnings-per-share (“EPS”) computations.  Dividends on allocated ESOP shares reduce retained earnings, and dividends on unallocated ESOP shares reduce accrued interest.

A terminated participant or the beneficiary of a deceased participant who received a distribution of employer stock from the ESOP has the right to require the Company to purchase such shares at their fair market value any time within 60 days of the distribution date.  If this right is not exercised, an additional 60 day exercise period is available in the year following the year in which the distribution is made and begins after a new valuation of the stock has been determined and communicated to the participant or beneficiary.  At September 30, 2012, 33,179 shares at a fair value of $5.50 have been classified as mezzanine capital.

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. Consideration is given to (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability to retain and whether it is not more likely than not the Company will be required to sell its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. In analyzing an issuer’s financial condition, management considers whether the securities are issued by the federal government or its agencies, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred, and industry analysts’ reports.

 At September 30, 2012, 8 securities had unrealized losses with an aggregate depreciation of 1.17% from the Company’s amortized cost basis.  The Company does not consider these investments to be other than temporarily impaired at September 30, 2012 due to the following:
 
decline in value is attributable to interest rates
the value did not decline due to credit quality
the Company does not intend to sell these securities
the Company has adequate liquidity such that they will not more likely than not have to sell these securities before recovery of the amortized cost basis, which may be at maturity
 
There were no proceeds from the sales of securities for both the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Therefore, there were no realized gains or losses for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Proceeds from the sales of securities were $3.0 million and $4.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  There was $58,614 and $276,474 in gross realized gains for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. There was $44,666 in gross realized losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and no gross realized losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The tax provision applicable to these net realized gains amounted to $4,742 and $94,001, respectively.

NOTE 8 – LOANS AND ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company recognized no accrued or cash basis interest income on impaired loans.
 
At September 30, 2012, there were 43 impaired loans totaling approximately $6.9 million, compared to 72 impaired loans totaling approximately $10.3 million at December 31, 2011. The decrease in impaired loans was a result of returning 22 previously impaired loans totaling approximately $1.7 million to accrual status, writing down and moving 27 impaired loans totaling approximately $2.2 million to OREO, charging off four impaired loans totaling approximately $56,000, and writing down 11 impaired loans by a total of approximately $1.6 million. Additionally, three loans were paid off and 27 primarily one-to-four family loans totaling approximately $4.2 million were added to the impaired loan list.

Our loan portfolio also includes certain loans that have been modified in a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”), where economic concessions have been granted to borrowers who have experienced financial difficulties. These concessions typically result from our loss mitigation activities and could include reductions in the interest rate, payment extensions, forbearance or other actions. Certain TDRs are classified as nonperforming at the time of restructuring and typically are returned to performing status after considering the borrower’s sustained repayment performance for a reasonable period of at least six months.
 
When we modify loans in a TDR, we evaluate any possible impairment similar to other impaired loans based on the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the contractual interest rate of the original loan agreement, or use the current fair value of the collateral, less estimated selling costs for collateral dependent loans. If we determine that the value of the modified loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan (net of previous charge-offs, deferred loan fees or costs and unamortized premium or discount), impairment is recognized through an allowance estimate or a charge-off to the allowance. In periods subsequent to modification, we evaluate all TDRs, including those that have payment defaults, for possible impairment and recognize impairment through the allowance.
 
Impaired loans at September 30, 2012 include $2.1 million of loans whose terms have been modified in troubled debt restructurings compared to $4.1 million at December 31, 2011.  The decrease in impaired loans whose terms have been modified in troubled debt restructurings is primarily the result of four loans totaling approximately $749,000 that were returned to accrual status and upgraded to special mention because each of these loans performed in accordance with their restructured terms for more than six consecutive months.  Additionally, three loans of approximately $439,000 were written down and moved to OREO, another loan with a balance of approximately $23,000 was charged-off, while three loans totaling approximately $1.9 million were written down by approximately $546,000.  The remaining restructured loans are being monitored as they have not attained per accounting guidelines the performance requirements for the set time period to achieve being returned to accrual status.

Loans classified as troubled debt restructuring during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, segregated by class are shown in the tables below.

Credit Quality Indicators:

The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information and current economic trends, among other factors.  The Company analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk.  For commercial and non-residential real estate loans, the Company’s credit quality indicator is internally assigned risk ratings.  Each commercial and non-residential real estate loan is assigned a risk rating upon origination. The risk rating is reviewed annually, at a minimum, and on an as needed basis depending on the specific circumstances of the loan.
 
For residential real estate loans, multi-family, consumer direct and purchased auto loans, the Company’s credit quality indicator is performance determined by delinquency status.  Delinquency status is updated regularly by the Company’s loan system for real estate loans, multi-family and consumer direct loans. The Company receives monthly reports on the delinquency status of the purchased auto loan portfolio from the servicing company.

The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:
 
 
·
Pass – loans classified as pass are of a higher quality and do not fit any of the other “rated” categories below (e.g. special mention, substandard or doubtful). The likelihood of loss is considered remote.
 
·
Special Mention – loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention.  If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution’s credit position at some future date.
 
·
Substandard – loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any.  Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt.  They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
 
·
Doubtful – loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable.
 
·
Not Rated – loans in this bucket are not evaluated on an individual basis.

As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the risk category of loans by class is as follows:

NOTE 9 – STOCK COMPENSATION

Total stock-based compensation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, was approximately $11,000 and $97,000, respectively.  In accordance with FASB ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the grantees’ vesting period or to the grantees’ retirement eligibility date, if earlier. The decrease in stock-based compensation expense was due to there being no remaining compensation expense on the options and shares granted in November 2006, as they became fully vested and fully expensed in November of 2011. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company did not grant additional options or shares under the MRP.

 NOTE 10 – RECENT ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS
 
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. The amendments in ASU No. 2011-04 are to be applied prospectively. The guidance publishes convergence standards on fair value measurement and disclosures. The Company adopted the provisions of ASU No. 2011-04 for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of ASU No. 2011-04 did expand the fair value disclosures in Note 11, but did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income. The objective of ASU No. 2011-05 is to improve the comparability, consistency, and transparency of financial reporting and to increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income. This guidance eliminates the option of presenting components of comprehensive income as a part of the statement of changes in stockholder’s equity. They must be presented in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The Company adopted the provisions of ASU No. 2011-05 for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption did not have an impact on the Company’s quarterly disclosures but is expected to change the presentation of other comprehensive income in the annual financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2012.

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-12, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220):  Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05.  The Update defers the effective date for amendments to the presentation of reclassifications of items out of accumulated other comprehensive income in ASU No. 2011-05.  The Update was effective for the Company January 1, 2012, and did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.  All other requirements of ASU 2011-05 were not affected by ASU 2011-12, including the requirement to report comprehensive income either in a single continuous financial statement or in two separate but consecutive financial statements for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011.

NOTE 11 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT AND DISCLOSURE
 
FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants and is not adjusted for transaction costs. This guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement inputs) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement inputs). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under FASB ASC 820 are described below:
 
Basis of Fair Value Measurement:
 
 
 
Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets.
 
 
 
Level 2 - Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices in markets that are not active, quoted prices for similar assets, or other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset.
 
 
 
Level 3 - Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity).

Following is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities recorded at fair value:
 
Securities Available for Sale
 
Securities classified as available for sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis using pricing obtained from an independent pricing service.  Where quoted market prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1. The Company has no securities classified within Level 1.  If quoted market prices are not available, the pricing service estimates the fair values by using pricing models or quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics. For these securities, the inputs used by the pricing service to determine fair value consider observable data that may include dealer quotes, market spreads, cash flows, the U.S. Treasury yield curve, live trading levels, trade execution data, market consensus prepayment speeds, credit information and bonds’ terms and conditions, among other things resulting in classification within Level 2.  Level 2 securities include obligations of U.S. government corporations and agencies, state and municipal securities, and mortgage-backed securities.  In cases where Level 1 or Level 2 inputs are not available, securities are classified within Level 3.  The Company has no securities classified within Level 3.

Foreclosed Assets
 
Foreclosed assets consisting of foreclosed real estate and repossessed assets, are adjusted to fair value less estimated costs to sell upon transfer of the loans to foreclosed assets.  Subsequently, foreclosed assets are carried at the lower of cost or fair value.  Fair value is based upon independent market prices, appraised values of the collateral or management’s estimation of the value of the collateral.  When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value, the Company records the foreclosed asset as non-recurring 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 foreclosed asset as non-recurring Level 3.

Impaired Loans
 
Impaired loans are evaluated and adjusted to the lower of carrying value or fair value less estimated costs to sell at the time the loan is identified as impaired. Impaired loans are carried at the lower of cost or fair value.  Fair value is measured based on the value of the collateral securing these loans.  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 non-recurring 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 non-recurring Level 3.
 
The Company did not have any transfers of assets or liabilities between Levels 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and the year ended December 31, 2011. The Company’s policy for determining transfers between levels occurs at the end of the reporting period when circumstances in the underlying valuation criteria change and result in transfers between levels.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Bank in estimating the fair value of financial instruments:
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents: The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents approximate fair values.  

Federal Funds Sold: The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for federal funds sold approximate fair values.  
 
Securities: The Company obtains fair value measurements of available for sale securities from an independent pricing service.  See Note 11 - Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure for further detail on how fair values of securities available for sale are determined.  The carrying value of non-marketable equity securities approximates fair value.

Loans: For variable-rate loans that re-price frequently and with no significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on carrying amounts. The fair values for other loans (for example, fixed rate commercial real estate and rental property mortgage loans and commercial and industrial loans) are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis, based on market interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. Loan fair value estimates include judgments regarding future expected loss experience and risk characteristics. Fair values for impaired loans are estimated using underlying collateral values, where applicable or discounted cash flows.

Loans held for sale: The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for loans held for sale approximate fair values, as these loans are originated with the intent to sell and funding of the sales usually occurs within three days.  

Accrued Interest Receivable and Payable: The carrying amounts of accrued interest receivable and payable approximate fair values.

Mortgage Servicing Rights: The carrying amounts of mortgage servicing rights approximate their fair values.

Deposits: The fair values disclosed for demand deposits are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date (that is, their carrying amounts). The carrying amounts of variable-rate, fixed-term money market accounts and certificates of deposit approximate their fair values. Fair values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit are estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies market interest rates currently offered on certificates to a schedule of aggregated expected monthly maturities on time deposits.
 
 Loan Commitments: Commitments to extend credit were evaluated and fair value was estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counter-parties. For fixed-rate loan commitments, fair value also considers the difference between current levels of interest rates and the committed rates. The Bank does not charge fees to enter into these agreements.  As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the fair values of the commitments are immaterial in nature.

In addition, other assets and liabilities of the Bank that are not defined as financial instruments, such as property and equipment are not included in the above disclosures. Also, non-financial instruments typically not recognized in financial statements nevertheless may have value but are not included in the above disclosures. These include, among other items, the estimated earnings power of core deposit accounts, the trained work force, customer goodwill and similar items.

FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
 
Statements contained in this report that are not historical facts may constitute forward-looking statements (within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), which involve significant risks and uncertainties. The Company intends such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and is including this statement for purposes of invoking these safe harbor provisions. Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe future plans, strategies and expectations of the Company, are generally identifiable by the use of the words “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “project,” “plan,” or similar expressions. The Company’s ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain and actual results may differ from those predicted. The Company undertakes no obligation to update these forward-looking statements in the future. The Company cautions readers of this report that a number of important factors could cause the Company’s actual results subsequent to September 30, 2012 to differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ from those predicted and could affect the future prospects of the Company include, but are not limited to, fluctuations in market rates of interest and loan and deposit pricing, changes in the securities or financial market, a deterioration of general economic conditions either nationally or locally, delays in obtaining the necessary regulatory approvals, our ability to consummate proposed transactions in a timely manner, legislative or regulatory changes that adversely affect our business, adverse developments or changes in the composition of our loan or investment portfolios, significant increases in competition, changes in real estate values, difficulties in identifying attractive acquisition opportunities or strategic partners to complement our Company’s approach and the products and services the Company offers, the possible dilutive effect of potential acquisitions or expansion, and our ability to raise new capital as needed and the timing, amount and type of such capital raises. These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements.

GENERAL

The Bank is a community and customer-oriented savings bank. The Bank's business has historically consisted of attracting deposits from the general public and using those funds to originate and purchase one-to-four family, multi-family and non-residential real estate, construction, commercial and consumer loans, which the Bank primarily holds for investment. The Bank has continually diversified its products to meet the needs of the community.  The Bank completed its reorganization pursuant to its Plan of Conversion on July 11, 2005, upon which the Bank converted from an Illinois-chartered mutual savings bank to a federally-chartered mutual savings bank, and on that same date, converted from a federally-chartered mutual savings bank to a federally-chartered stock savings bank, all of the outstanding stock of which was issued to the Company.  As part of the reorganization, the Company issued 1,001,210 shares to the public and 1,223,701 shares to Ottawa Savings Bancorp MHC, a mutual holding company.
 
COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AT SEPTEMBER 30, 2012 AND DECEMBER 31, 2011
 
The Company's total assets decreased $0.7 million, or 0.38%, to $182.2 million at September 30, 2012, from $182.9 million at December 31, 2011.  The Company strengthened its liquidity, as cash and cash equivalents increased by $4.4 million and foreclosed real estate increased by $0.6 million.  The increase in liquid assets was partially offset by a decrease in loans of $1.2 million, a decrease in securities available for sale of $2.4 million, and a decrease in non-marketable equity securities of $1.2 million.

Cash and cash equivalents increased $4.4 million, or 148.3%, to $7.3 million at September 30, 2012 from $2.9 million at December 31, 2011 primarily as a result of the cash provided by operating and investing activities exceeding the cash used in financing activities.

Securities available for sale decreased $2.4 million, or 7.2%, to $30.6 million at September 30, 2012 from $33.0 million at December 31, 2011.  The decrease was primarily the result of $10.6 million in sales, calls, maturities and paydowns offset by purchases of $8.4 million.
 
Loans, net of the allowance for loan losses, decreased $1.2 million, or 0.9%, to $126.8 million at September 30, 2012 from $128.0 million at December 31, 2011.  The decrease in loans, net of the allowance for loan losses, was primarily caused by a combination of normal attrition, paydowns, loan charge-offs and strategic initiatives to reduce lending exposure in one-to-four family residential, non-residential loans, and multifamily residential loans, partially offset by a decrease in the allowance for loan losses of $1.1 million and an increase of $2.9 million in the purchased auto loan portfolio. The Company is focusing its lending efforts on customers based primarily in its local market.

 
25

 
 
Foreclosed real estate increased approximately $0.6 million, or 106.9%, to $1.1 million at September 30, 2012 from $0.5 million at December 31, 2011.  The increase was primarily due to the addition of 27 properties valued at $1.6 million acquired through loan foreclosures due to the continued stress the economic environment has placed on the Company’s customers, offset by the sale of 17 properties for an aggregate of $1.0 million.

Other assets comprised primarily of prepaid expenses, deferred director compensation accounts, and auto loan repossessions, were comparable between periods as the balances were $1.5 million at September 30, 2012 and $1.4 million at December 31, 2011.

Total deposits decreased $1.4 million, or 0.9%, to $158.5 million at September 30, 2012, from $159.9 million at December 31, 2011.  The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in certificates of deposit of $4.1 million, or 3.7%, from December 31, 2011 to September 30, 2012.  The decrease was partially offset by increases in money market accounts which increased $1.2 million, or 6.5%, passbook savings accounts which increased $1.1 million, or 7.8%, and checking accounts which increased $0.4 million, or 2.5%, from December 31, 2011 to September 30, 2012.  The increase in money market, passbook savings, and checking savings accounts is primarily due to customers moving funds into non-term products as they wait for a better rate environment.

Other liabilities comprised of primarily deferred compensation expenses, accrued expenses and escrow payable, were comparable between periods as the balances were $2.5 million at September 30, 2012 and $2.5 million at December 31, 2011.

Equity increased $0.7 million, or 3.2%, to $21.1 million at September 30, 2012, from $20.4 million at December 31, 2011.  The increase in equity is primarily related to the net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 of approximately $0.6 million.

The ongoing state of economic uncertainty continues to affect our asset quality.  We continue to experience a decline in the market values of homes in our market area in general and also on specific properties held as collateral. In addition, high unemployment locally continues to affect some of our borrowers’ ability to timely repay their obligations to the Company. These conditions have resulted in nonperforming loans totaling 5.7% of total loan receivables as of September 30, 2012, which is down from 6.5% as of December 31, 2011.

The Company’s nonperforming assets consist of non-accrual loans, loans past due greater than 90 days and still accruing and foreclosed real estate.  Loans are generally placed on non-accrual status when it is apparent all of the contractual payments (i.e. principal and interest) will not be received; however, they may be placed on non-accrual status sooner if management has significant doubt as to the collection of all amounts due.  Interest previously accrued but uncollected is reversed and charged against interest income. During the first nine months of 2012, nonaccrual loans decreased 15.1% to $7.3 million from $8.6 million as of December 31, 2011. This decrease is due to 27 properties totaling approximately $2.2 million moved to foreclosed real estate, 22 loans totaling approximately $1.7 million upgraded to performing status, and 11 loans totaling approximately $1.6 million with partial charge-offs, and approximately $0.4 million of principal payments, which was partially offset by 29 loans totaling approximately $4.6 million, secured by mostly one-to-four family properties being placed on non-accrual status, as certain customers continue to be challenged by local economic conditions during these difficult economic times. The $7.3 million of non-accrual loans is the lowest it has been in six quarters.

The following table summarizes nonperforming assets for the prior five quarters.

COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATION FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2012 AND 2011
 
General.  Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was $179,000 compared to a net loss of $1.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011.  Net income improved during the third quarter of 2012 primarily due to lower levels of provision for loan losses than in the 2011 period, and a slight increase in other income.  These positive variances were slightly offset by lower interest and dividend income and a slight increase in operating costs.

Net Interest Income.  The following table summarizes interest and dividend income and interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.

Net interest income increased $3,000, or 0.22%, to remain constant at $1.4 million for both the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  Interest and dividend income decreased $90,000 due to the decline in average interest earning assets of $0.7 million and the yield decreasing on interest earning assets from 4.8% to 4.6%.  The decline in the securities and loan portfolios contributed to a significant amount of the decline in earning assets. The yield on the investment portfolio and the loan portfolio continued to decline as the low rate environment continued during the third quarter of 2012. This decline in interest income was offset by a $93,000, or 14.9%, reduction in interest expense. The cost of funds declined 22 basis points, or 13.9%, for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2011, due to the continued low rate environment.  Additionally, the average balance of interest bearing liabilities declined by $1.7 million, or 1.1%.
 
Provision for Loan Losses. Management recorded a loan loss provision of $330,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012, compared to $3.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The economic conditions in the local market continue to negatively impact collateral values of real estate. The provision is primarily attributed to the general reserve for the one-to-four family segment due to continued decline in payment activity of borrowers and because charge-off levels remain elevated.  The decreased payment activity and elevated charge-off levels are the result of local economic conditions continuing to lag national indicators, including higher levels of unemployment locally being 9.7%, versus 8.8% for the State of Illinois and the national level of 7.8%.
 
Management uses available information to establish the appropriate level of the allowance for loan losses.  Future additions or reductions to the allowance may be necessary based on estimates that are susceptible to change as a result of changes in economic conditions and other factors.  As a result, our allowance for loan losses may not be sufficient to cover actual loan losses, and future provisions for loan losses could materially adversely affect the Company’s operating results. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company’s allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require the Company to recognize adjustments to the allowance based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination.

The increase in total other income was primarily due to gains on the sale of loans of $19,000 and an increase of approximately $8,000 in rental income on OREO properties.  The increases were offset by decreases in the origination of mortgage servicing rights, net of amortization. While levels of loan demand and loan sales increased during the third quarter of 2012 as compared to 2011, resulting in an increase in gains on the sale of loans, the company has been experiencing higher than normal refinancing activity as customers take advantage of competitive rates in the market, resulting in the decrease in mortgage servicing rights, net of amortization.

Computed as other expenses divided by the sum of net interest income and other income.
 
The increase in other expenses was primarily due to increases in valuation adjustments and expenses on foreclosed real estate, increases in salaries and employee benefits, and an increase in deposit insurance premiums.  The increase in deposit insurance premiums for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2011, is primarily the result of approximately $30,000 of expense that was reversed during the third quarter of 2011 that resulted from the 2011 decrease in deposits and the lower assessments rate by the FDIC for smaller financial institutions.

Income Taxes. The Company recorded income tax expense of $115,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and an income tax benefit of $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011.  The difference in income taxes for the periods is due to the differences in pre-tax income/loss for the applicable periods, primarily as a result of higher provisions for loan losses during 2011.

COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATION FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2012 AND 2011
 
General.  Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $574,000 compared to a net loss of $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.  Net income improved during 2012 due to lower operating costs, lower funding costs, and lower levels of provision for loan losses compared to the 2011 period. These positive variances were slightly offset by lower net interest income.

Net Interest Income.  The following table summarizes interest and dividend income and interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.

Net interest income decreased $195,000, or 4.3%, to $4.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $4.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Interest and dividend income decreased due to the decline in average interest earning assets of $4.4 million and the yield decreasing on interest earning assets from 5.0% to 4.8%.  The decline in the loan portfolio contributed to a significant amount of the decline in earning assets. The yield on the investment portfolio and the loan portfolio continued to decline as the low rate environment continued during the first nine months of 2012. This decline in interest income was partially offset by a $292,000, or 14.9%, reduction in interest expense. The cost of funds declined 21 basis points, or 12.9%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011, due to the continued low rate environment.  Additionally, the average balance of interest bearing liabilities declined by $3.8 million or 2.4%.
 
Provision for Loan Losses. Management recorded a loan loss provision of $1.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared to $4.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The economic conditions in the local market continue to negatively impact collateral values of real estate. The provision is primarily attributed to the general reserve for the one-to-four family segment due to continued decline in payment activity of borrowers and because charge-off levels remain elevated.  The decreased payment activity and elevated charge-off levels are the result of local economic conditions continuing to lag national indicators, including elevated levels of unemployment locally as rates are 9.7% versus 8.8% for the State of Illinois and national levels of 7.8%.

Management uses available information to establish the appropriate level of the allowance for loan losses.  Future additions or reductions to the allowance may be necessary based on estimates that are susceptible to change as a result of changes in economic conditions and other factors.  As a result, our allowance for loan losses may not be sufficient to cover actual loan losses, and future provisions for loan losses could materially adversely affect the Company’s operating results.

The decrease in total other income was primarily due to a decrease in the gain on sale of securities from 2011 to 2012 and the receipt of approximately $90,000 of interest on a tax refund during the second quarter of 2011 which did not recur during 2012.  The decreases were offset partially by net gains on the sale of OREO properties for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, as compared to net losses on the sale of OREO properties for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, and the increase in gains on the sale of loans resulting from an increase in the sale of loans.  Loan sales increased due to the favorable rate environment for loans during the first nine months of 2012 as compared to 2011, resulting in an increase in gains on the sale of loans.

Computed as other expenses divided by the sum of net interest income and other income.

The decrease in other expenses was primarily due to decreases in valuation adjustments, expenses and losses on foreclosed real estate, decreases in salaries and employee benefits as a result of no remaining compensation expense on the MRP shares and options which were granted in 2006, and a decrease in deposit insurance premiums due to a decrease in deposits from the prior assessment period and lower assessments by the FDIC for smaller financial institutions.

Income Taxes. The Company recorded income tax expense of $258,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and an income tax benefit of $977,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.  The difference in income taxes for the periods is primarily due to the differences in pre-tax income/loss for the applicable periods, primarily as a result of higher provision for loan losses during 2011.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity.  Liquidity management for the Bank is measured and monitored on both a short and long-term basis, allowing management to better understand and react to emerging balance sheet trends.  After assessing actual and projected cash flow needs, management seeks to obtain funding at the most economical cost to the Bank. Our primary sources of funds are deposits, amortization, prepayments and maturities of outstanding loans and mortgage-backed and related securities, and other short-term investments, and funds provided from operations. While scheduled payments from amortization of loans and mortgage-backed related securities and maturing investment securities and short-term investments are relatively predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition.  We invest excess funds in short-term interest-earning assets, including federal funds sold, which enable us to meet lending requirements or long-term investments when loan demand is low.

At September 30, 2012 the Bank had outstanding commitments to originate $0.4 million in loans, unfunded lines of credit of $9.1 million, unfunded commitments on construction loans of $0.1 million, and a commitment to purchase $6.0 million in auto loans.  In addition, as of September 30, 2012, the total amount of certificates of deposit that were scheduled to mature in the next 12 months was $59.4 million. Based on prior experience, management believes that a significant portion of such deposits will remain with us, although there can be no assurance that this will be the case. In the event a significant portion of our deposits are not retained by us, we will have to utilize other funding sources, such as Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago (“FHLBC”) advances, in order to maintain our level of assets. Alternatively, we could reduce our level of liquid assets, such as our cash and cash equivalents.  As of September 30, 2012, the Bank had $51.6 million of available credit from the FHLBC.  There were no FHLBC advances outstanding at September 30, 2012.  In addition, as of September 30, 2012, the Bank had $5.0 million of available credit from Bankers Bank of Wisconsin to purchase Federal Funds.

The Company is a separate legal entity from the Bank and must provide for its own liquidity. In addition to its operating expenses, the Company is responsible for paying any dividends declared to its shareholders and for any repurchased shares of its common stock.  Whether dividends are declared, and the timing and amount of any dividends declared, is subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors and depends on various factors, including our net earnings, financial condition, cash requirements, future prospects and other factors that our Board of Directors deems relevant to its analysis and decision making. The Company’s primary source of income is dividends received from the Bank. The amount of dividends that the Bank may declare and pay to the Company in any calendar year, without the receipt of prior approval from the regulatory agencies but with prior notice to the regulatory agencies, cannot exceed net income for that year to date plus retained net income (as defined) for the preceding two calendar years. At September 30, 2012, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $228,000.

Capital.  The Bank is required to maintain regulatory capital sufficient to meet Tier 1 leverage, Tier 1 risk-based and total risk-based capital ratios of at least 4.0%, 4.0% and 8.0%, respectively.  The Bank exceeded each of its minimum capital requirements and was considered “well capitalized” within the meaning of federal regulatory requirements with ratios at September 30, 2012 of 9.94%, 15.79% and 17.06%, respectively, compared to ratios at December 31, 2011 of 9.38%, 15.47% and 16.76%, respectively.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we did not engage in any off-balance sheet transactions reasonably likely to have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.


ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

This Item is not applicable as the Company is a smaller reporting company.

ITEM 4.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures.  Based on this evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report for the purpose of ensuring that the information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) (1) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (2) is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including, its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  It should be noted that the design of any system of controls 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, regardless of how remote.

In addition, there have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Part II – Other Information

ITEM 1 - LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

ITEM 1A – RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part 1, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results.  As of September 30, 2012, the risk factors of the Company have not changed materially from those reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.  However, the risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks that we face.  Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.
