NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

Note 1—BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements are not included herein. The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of First Federal of Northern Michigan Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiaries and the notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

 

All adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which in the opinion of management are necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows, have been made. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015.

 

Note 2—PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of First Federal of Northern Michigan Bancorp, Inc., its wholly owned subsidiary First Federal of Northern Michigan (the “Bank”), and the Bank’s wholly owned subsidiaries, Financial Services & Mortgage Corporation (“FSMC”) and FFNM Financial Services, Inc. FSMC invested in real estate, which includes leasing, selling, developing, and maintaining real estate properties. FSMC was dissolved in the first quarter of 2015 since all real estate properties were sold in 2011. The main activity of FFNM Financial Services, Inc. is to collect commission from the sale of non-insured investment products resulting from investment advisory services offered in our branch network. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation.

 

Note 3—BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

  

As of August 8, 2014 (“Merger Date”), the Company completed its merger with Alpena Banking Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary Bank of Alpena (“Alpena”). Alpena had one branch office and assets with a fair value of $102.6 million as of August 8, 2014. The results of operations due to the merger have been included in the Company’s results since the Merger Date. The merger was effected by the issuance of shares of the Company’s common stock to Alpena Banking Corporation shareholders. Each share of Alpena’s common stock was converted into the right to receive 1.549 shares of the Company’s common stock, with cash paid in lieu of fractional shares. The conversion of Alpena’s shares resulted in the issuance of 842,965 shares of the Company’s common stock.

 

The merger transaction was recorded using the acquisition method of accounting and accordingly, assets acquired, liabilities assumed and consideration exchanged were recorded at estimated fair values on the Merger Date. The fair value measurements, based on third-party valuations, have been retrospectively reflected and the following table provides the purchase price calculation as of the Merger Date and the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated fair values.

In most instances, determining the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities required the Company to estimate the cash flows expected to result from those assets and liabilities and to discount those cash flows at appropriate rates of interest. The most significant of those determinations related to the valuation of acquired loans. For such loans, the excess cash flows expected at merger over the estimated fair value is recognized as interest income over the remaining lives of the loans. The difference between contractually required payments at merger and the cash flows expected to be collected at merger reflects the impact of estimated credit losses and other factors, such as prepayments. In accordance with the applicable accounting guidance for business combinations, there was no carry-over of Alpena’s previously established allowance for loan losses.

 

The acquired loans were divided into loans with evidence of credit quality deterioration, which are accounted for under ASC 310-30 (“acquired impaired”), and loans that do not meet the criteria, which are accounted for under ASC 310-20 (“acquired non-impaired”). In addition, the loans are further categorized into different pools based primarily on the type and purpose of the loan.

As of September 30, 2015, there were 27 securities with unrealized losses totaling $165,000 compared to 72 securities with unrealized losses totaling $303,000 at December 31, 2014.

 

The unrealized losses on the securities held in the portfolio are not considered other than temporary and have not been recognized into income. This decision is based on the Company’s ability and intent to hold any potentially impaired security until maturity. The performance of the security is based on the contractual terms of the agreement, the extent of the impairment and the financial condition and credit quality of the issuer. The decline in market value is considered temporary and a result of changes in interest rates and other market variables.

 

Note 5—LOANS

 

Originated loans are reported at their principal amount outstanding adjusted for partial charge-offs, the allowance, and net deferred loan fees and costs. Interest income on loans is accrued over the term of the loans primarily using the simple interest method based on the principal balance outstanding. Interest is not accrued on loans where collectability is uncertain. Accrued interest is presented separately in the consolidated balance sheet. Loan origination fees and certain direct costs incurred to extend credit are deferred and amortized over the term of the loan or loan commitment period as an adjustment to the related loan yield.

 

Acquired loans are those obtained in the Merger (See Note 3 – Business Combination for further information). These loans were recorded at estimated fair value at the Acquisition Date with no carryover of the related allowance. The acquired loans were segregated between those considered to be performing (“acquired non-impaired loans”) and those with evidence of credit deterioration (“acquired impaired loans”). Acquired loans are considered impaired if there is evidence of credit deterioration and if it is probable, at acquisition, that all contractually required payments will not be collected. Acquired loans restructured after acquisition are not considered or reported as troubled debt restructurings if the loans evidenced credit deterioration as of the Acquisition Date and are accounted for in pools. As of September 30, 2015, no acquired loans were modified as troubled debt restructurings after the Acquisition Date.

 

The fair value estimates for acquired loans are based on expected prepayments and the amount and timing of discounted expected principal, interest and other cash flows. Credit discounts representing the principal losses expected over the life of the loan are also a component of the initial fair value. In determining the Acquisition Date fair value of acquired impaired loans, and in subsequent accounting, we have generally aggregated acquired mortgage, commercial and consumer loans into pools of loans with common risk characteristics.

 

The difference between the fair value of an acquired non-impaired loan and contractual amounts due at the Acquisition Date is accreted into income over the estimated life of the loan. Contractually required payments represent the total undiscounted amount of all uncollected principal and interest payments. Acquired non-impaired loans are placed on nonaccrual status and reported as nonperforming or past due using the same criteria applied to the originated loan portfolio.

 

The excess of an acquired impaired loan’s contractually required payments over the amount of its undiscounted cash flows expected to be collected is referred to as the non-accretable difference. The non-accretable difference, which is neither accreted into income nor recorded on the consolidated balance sheet, reflects estimated future credit losses and uncollectible contractual interest expected to be incurred over the life of the acquired impaired loan. The excess cash flows expected to be collected over the carrying amount of the acquired loan is referred to as the accretable yield. This amount is accreted into interest income over the remaining life of the acquired loans or pools using the level yield method. The accretable yield is affected by changes in interest rate indices for variable rate loans, changes in prepayment speed assumptions and changes in expected principal and interest payments over the estimated lives of the acquired impaired loans.

 

We evaluate quarterly the remaining contractual required payments receivable and estimate cash flows expected to be collected over the life of the impaired loans. Contractually required payments receivable may increase or decrease for a variety of reasons, for example, when the contractual terms of the loan agreement are modified, when interest rates on variable rate loans change, or when principal and/or interest payments are received. Cash flows expected to be collected on acquired impaired loans are estimated by incorporating several key assumptions similar to the initial estimate of fair value. These key assumptions include probability of default, loss given default, and the amount of actual prepayments after the Acquisition Date. Prepayments affect the estimated lives of loans and could change the amount of interest income, and possibly principal, expected to be collected. In re-forecasting future estimated cash flows, credit loss expectations are adjusted as necessary. The adjustments are based, in part, on actual loss severities recognized for each loan type, as well as changes in the probability of default. For periods in which estimated cash flows are not re-forecasted, the prior reporting period’s estimated cash flows are adjusted to reflect the actual cash received and credit events that transpired during the current reporting period.

 

11
 

 

Increases in expected cash flows of acquired impaired loans subsequent to the Acquisition Date are recognized prospectively through adjustments of the yield on the loans or pools over their remaining lives, while decreases in expected cash flows are recognized as impairment through a provision for loan losses and an increase in the allowance.

 

The following table sets forth the composition of our loan portfolio by loan type at the dates indicated.

The Bank uses an eight tier risk rating system to grade its commercial loans. The grade of a loan may change during the life of the loan. The risk ratings are described as follows:

 

  Risk Grade 1 (Excellent):

Demonstrates exceptional credit fundamentals, including stable and predictable profit margins and cash flows, strong liquidity, and a conservative balance sheet.

Significant cash flow coverage of existing and pro forma debt service.

Industry leader with a diversified product mix and broad geographical market distribution.

Obligations secured by cash (“on us” deposits) and U.S. Government securities within policy advance rates.

 

  Risk Grade 2 (Superior):

The difference between this rating and Class 1 is generally in degree and size. Credit quality is slightly less dominant, with less predictability in earnings and cash flow.

Customer may be one of the stronger and larger privately held companies. Balance sheet is conservative with excellent liquidity.

Obligations secured by liquid financial instruments within policy advance rates.

13
 

 

  Risk Grade 3 (Satisfactory):

Obligor may also be a privately held, middle market company with a strong balance sheet, consistent earnings, and worthy of unsecured credit.

Leverage, liquidity and coverage average to slightly better than average within industry. Balance sheet may contain some intangibles.

History of profitable operations, but conditions exist that would suggest obligor’s earnings could temporarily decline due to market or economic conditions.

Cash flow is adequate and profit margins are slightly above average within the industry.

Obligor’s product mix may lack diversity or geographic distribution, but is usually not confined to a single product or service.

Bank borrowings will tend not to be constant; obligor’s debt instruments would be attractive to other lenders. Most likely would have access to alternative sources of funding (public or private).

 

  Risk Grade 4 (Acceptable):

Subject to normal degree of risk.

Cash flow is adequate to service debt, but is susceptible to some deterioration due to cyclical, seasonal or economic fluctuations.

Balance sheet contains some leverage; liquidity could be temporarily tight. There could be some asset concentration.

Access to financial markets could be limited or expensive.

Management is experienced but may be concentrated in a few “key” people.

Some unfavorable characteristics may exist:
    - Reliance on single product or major customer concentration
    - Volatility of earnings or earnings weakness due to competition
    - Leverage is increasing, but is still within normal industry parameters
    - Management is capable but would be tested in an adverse business environment
    - High leverage offset by stable or predictable cash flow
Borrowings would usually be on a secured basis, with some inventory reliance and fairly steady outstandings. Borrowing base may be fully utilized from time to time.

 

4.5 - Acceptable Risk Monitored:

This rating category is a subset of a Risk Grade 4-Acceptable and serves primarily as an early warning indicator to management to avoid surprises to Special Mention or worse credits. The loans in this category may have several characteristics of a Risk Grade 4 loan, but have negative results and trending that warrant monitoring.

More unpredictability in earnings and cash flow. Obligor may have experienced modest and presumably temporary losses; resulting in a temporary negative cash flow.
  Current financial statements have not been provided by the borrower.

Leverage ratios and liquidity are below normal industry standards, but may be deliberate financial restructuring, testing the limits of acceptable capitalization.

Secondary source of repayment may be limited.

 

Grade 4.5 risk rated credits are acceptable, but if the weakness is not checked or corrected the asset may further weaken or inadequately protect the Bank’s credit exposure at some future date.

 

  Risk Grade 5 (Special Mention):
  A Special Mention asset is not considered criticized for regulatory purposes. A Special Mention obligor may exhibit a potential weakness that may result in the deterioration of the repayment prospects for the credit or in the Bank’s credit position in the future; however, there must also be a well-defined plan of corrective action that is believed to be credible.

The obligor will generally have exhibited a sudden but modest and temporary deterioration, often related to a specific event.

Protracted gradual deterioration that appears to represent a trend or sudden deterioration of a more significant magnitude would warrant a more severe risk rating.

The action plan may include certain kinds of bridging events (for example, a capital injection) that could resolve the issue.

Special Mention asset may also have a single event of uncertainty associated with it, which should generally be resolved within 120 days (for example, management succession, litigation or turnaround acquisition).

 

14
 

 

  Risk Grade 6 (Substandard):
  A Substandard asset has well defined weakness(es) where a payment default is possible and a loss is possible, but not yet probable. Assets so classified are inadequately protected by current net worth and repayment capacity or there is a likelihood that collateral will have to be liquidated to repay the debt.

Cash flow from operations may be insufficient to meet principal reductions as expected, with the prospect that this condition may not be temporary.

Restructure not in the ordinary course of business has occurred or is anticipated.

A payment default is possible (at least 20% probability but less than 50%) and there is a dependence upon favorable business, financial, and economic conditions to meet timely payment of interest and repayment of principal.

If deficiencies are not corrected, there is a possibility of loss (less than 25% probability) and a question regarding the company’s ability to operate as a going concern.

Generally, the asset/loan is considered collectible as to both principal and interest, primarily because of collateral coverage or enterprise value. Loss of principal is not at question, unless current trends were to continue.

 

  Risk Grade 7 (Doubtful):
  A Doubtful asset/loan has characteristics of Substandard, but available information suggests it is unlikely that the asset/loan will be repaid in its entirety. A loan/asset with a grade 7 is reported in the Bank’s financial records on a non-accrual basis. The entire asset/loan should be rated Doubtful when any portion is considered Doubtful.
   
 

Risk Grade 8 (Loss):

  Assets/loans or portions of assets/loans classified as Loss are determined to be uncollectible and are of such little value that their continuing classification as bankable is unwarranted. Accordingly, that portion of an asset/loan with a 75% or greater probability of being uncollectible should be classified Loss and promptly charged off. The remaining portion of the asset/loan may be classified Doubtful, depending on the circumstances. This does not suggest, however, that there is no possibility of a recovery of a portion or all of the charged-off asset/loan at some future time.

Acquired impaired loans are not subject to individual evaluation for impairment and are not reported as non-performing loans based on acquired impaired loan accounting. Acquired non-impaired loans are placed on non-accrual status and reported as past due or non-performing using the same criteria that is applied to the originated loan portfolio.

 

The key features of the Company’s loan modifications are determined on a loan-by-loan basis. Generally, our restructurings have related to interest rate reductions and loan term extensions. In the past the Company has granted reductions in interest rates, payment extensions and short-term payment forbearances as a means to maximize collectability of troubled credits. The Company has not forgiven principal to date, although this would be considered if necessary to ensure the long-term collectability of the loan. The Company’s loan modifications are typically short-term in nature, although the Company would consider a long-term modification to ensure the long-term collectability of the credit. At a minimum, a borrower must make at least six consecutive timely payments before the Company would consider a return of a restructured loan to accruing status in accordance with Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation guidelines regarding restoration of credits to accrual status.

 

The Bank has classified approximately $3.1 million of its impaired loans as troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) as of September 30, 2015. There were no commitments to extend credit to borrowers with loans classified as TDRs as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

 

TDR loans are classified as being in default on a case by case basis when they fail to be in compliance with the modified terms. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 the Company did not have any new TDRs or TDRs that subsequently defaulted.

 

For the majority of the Bank’s impaired loans, the Bank will apply the market value of collateral methodology. However, the Bank may also utilize a measurement incorporating the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective rate of interest. To determine observable market price, collateral asset values securing an impaired loan are periodically evaluated. Maximum time of re-evaluation is every 12 months. In this process, third party evaluations are obtained and heavily relied upon. Until such time that updated evaluations are received, the Bank may discount the collateral value used.

 

The Bank uses the following guidelines, as stated in policy, to determine when to realize a charge-off, whether a partial or full loan balance. A charge down in whole or in part is realized when unsecured consumer loans, credit card credits and overdraft lines of credit reach 90 days delinquency. At 120 days delinquency, secured consumer loans are charged down to the value of collateral, if repossession of the collateral is assured and/or in the process of repossession. Consumer mortgage loan deficiencies are charged down upon the sale of the collateral or sooner upon the recognition of collateral deficiency. Commercial credits are charged down at 90 days delinquency, unless an established and approved work-out plan is in place or litigation of the credit will likely result in recovery of the loan balance. Upon notification of bankruptcy, unsecured debt is charged off. Additional charge-offs may be realized as further unsecured positions are recognized.

Acquired loans are not subject to individual evaluation for impairment and are not reported as impaired loans based on acquired impaired loan accounting. Acquired non-impaired loans are placed on nonaccrual status and reported as impaired using the same criteria applied to the originated loan portfolio. In accordance with purchase accounting rules, acquired loans were recorded at fair value at the acquisition date and the prior allowance was eliminated. No allowance for loan loss has been established on these acquired loans through September 30, 2015.

 

The ALLL has a direct impact on the provision expense. An increase in the ALLL is funded through recoveries and provision expense.

Note 6–DIVIDENDS

 

We are dependent primarily upon the Bank for our earnings and funds to pay dividends on common stock. The payment of dividends also is subject to legal and regulatory restrictions. Any payment of dividends in the future will depend, in large part, on the Bank’s earnings, capital requirements, financial condition and other factors considered by the Board of Directors.

 

Note 7–STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

 

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted FASB ASC 718-10, “Shareholder Based Payments”, which requires that the grant-date fair value of awarded stock options be expensed over the requisite service period. The Company’s 1996 Stock Option Plan (the “1996 Plan”), which was approved by shareholders, permits the grant of options to purchase shares of common stock to its employees and directors for up to 127,491 shares of common stock (retroactively adjusted for the exchange ratio applied in the Company’s 2005 stock offering and related second-step conversion). The Company’s 2006 Stock-Based Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”), which was approved by shareholders, permits the award of up to 242,740 shares of common stock of which the maximum number to be granted as stock options is 173,386 and the maximum to be granted as restricted stock awards is 69,354. Option awards are granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s stock at the date of grant. These option awards generally vest based on five years of continual service and have ten-year contractual terms. Certain options provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control (as defined in the Plans).

 

22
 

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015 the Company awarded no shares under the either the 2006 Plan or the 1996 Plan. Shares issued under the plans and exercised pursuant to the exercise of stock options may be either authorized but unissued shares or reacquired shares held by the Company as treasury stock.

 

Stock Options - A summary of option activity under the Plan during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 is presented below:

 

Options   Shares   Weighted-Average Exercise Price   Weighted-Average Remaining Contractual Term (Years)   Aggregate Intrinsic Value
                 
Outstanding at January 1, 2015     136,030     $ 9.54       1.4     $  
                                 
Granted           N/A                  
                                 
Exercised           N/A                  
                                 
Forfeited or expired     (14,400 )   $ 9.35                  
                                 
Outstanding at September 30, 2015     121,630     $ 9.57       0.6     $  
                                 
Options Exercisable at September 30, 2015     121,630     $ 9.57       0.6     $  

 

The aggregate intrinsic value of outstanding options shown in the table above represents the total pretax intrinsic value (i.e. the difference between the Company’s closing stock price of $6.29 on September 30, 2015 and the exercise price times the number of shares) that would have been received by the option holder had all option holders exercised their options on September 30, 2015. This amount changes based on the fair market value of the stock.

 

As of September 30, 2015 the Company had no unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested options under the Plan. There were no shares which vested during the quarter ended September 30, 2015. In addition, there were no non-vested options as of September 30, 2015.

 

Restricted Stock Awards – As of September 30, 2015 all restricted stock awards have vested, therefore the Company had no unrecognized compensation costs under the 2006 Plan. There were 5,304 shares available for future stock award grants as of September 30, 2015.

 

Note 8–COMMITMENTS TO EXTEND CREDIT

 

The Company is a party to credit-related financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, and commercial lines of credit. Such commitments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheet. The Company’s exposure to credit loss is represented by the contracted amount of these commitments. The Company follows the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.

 

At September 30, 2015, the Company had outstanding commitments to originate loans of $23.5 million. These commitments include the following:

 

    As of
September 30, 2015
    (in thousands)
     
Commitments to grant loans   $ 6,373  
Unfunded commitments under lines of credit     16,939  
Commercial and standby letters of credit     130

Note 9–FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

The fair value of financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value is categorized in three levels. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. These levels are as follows:

 

Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets, such as the New York Stock Exchange. Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 — Valuations of assets and liabilities traded in less active dealer or broker markets. Valuations include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities traded in the same market; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable. Valuations may be obtained from, or corroborated by, third-party pricing services.

 

Level 3 — Assets and liabilities with valuations that include methodologies and assumptions that may not be readily observable, including option pricing models, discounted cash flow models, yield curves and similar techniques. Level 3 valuations incorporate certain assumptions and projections in determining the fair value assigned to such assets or liabilities, but in all cases are corroborated by external data, which may include third-party pricing services.

 

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, and the valuation techniques used by the Company to determine those fair values.

Fair value measurements of U.S. Government agencies and mortgage backed securities use pricing models that vary and may consider various assumptions, including time value, yield curves, volatility factors, prepayment speeds, default rates, loss severity, current market and contractual prices for the underlying financial instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures.

 

There were no transfers between Levels 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy from December 31, 2014 to September 30, 2015. For the available for sale securities, the Company obtains fair value measurements from an independent third-party service.

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

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents - The carrying amounts of cash and short-term instruments approximate fair values.

 

Deposits Held in Other Financial Institutions - Fair value for the Bank’s deposits held in other financial institutions was determined using the market value in active markets, where available. When not available, fair values are estimated using the fair value hierarchy. In the fair value hierarchy, Level 2 fair values are determined using observable inputs other than Level 1 market prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets. Level 3 values are determined using unobservable inputs, such as discounted cash flow projections.

 

Investment Securities - Fair value for the Bank’s investment securities was determined using the market value in active markets, where available. When not available, fair values are estimated using the fair value hierarchy. In the fair value hierarchy, Level 2 fair values are determined using observable inputs other than Level 1 market prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets. Level 3 values are determined using unobservable inputs, such as discounted cash flow projections.
