NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED) (Dollar amounts in thousands)

Note 1:       Basis of Financial Statement Presentation
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Harvard Illinois Bancorp, Inc. (Company) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Harvard Savings Bank.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial reporting and with instructions for Form 10–Q and Rule 10–01 of Regulation S–X. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the balance sheet date and revenues and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.  In the opinion of management, the preceding unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial condition of the Company as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, and the results of its operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.  These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2011 included as part of Harvard Illinois Bancorp, Inc.’s Form 10-K (File No. 000-53935) (2011 Form 10-K) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 27, 2012.
 
The results of operations for the six month period ended June 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year.  For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the 2011 Form 10–K.

In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-11 “Balance Sheet (Topic 210) - Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities.”  ASU 2011-11 requires an entity to disclose both gross information and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position and instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement.  ASU 2011-11 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods.  Retrospective disclosure is required for all comparative periods presented.  The Company is assessing the impact of ASU 2011-11 on its disclosures.
 
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05 “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) - Presentation of Comprehensive Income.”  ASU 2011-05 requires that all nonowner changes in stockholders’ equity be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements.  In both choices, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income.  In December 2011, FASB issued ASU No. 2011-12 which defers the effective date of the requirement in ASU 2011-05 to present items that are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to net income alongside their respective components of net income and other comprehensive income.  ASU 2011-05 was effective retrospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011.  The effect of applying this standard is reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity.
 
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.”  ASU 2011-04 changed the wording used to describe many of the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements.  Consequently, the amendments in this update result in common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs (International Financial Reporting Standards).  ASU 2011-04 was effective prospectively during interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011.  Early application by public entities was not permitted.  The effect of applying this standard is reflected in Note 11 — Fair Value Measurements.

Note 3:        Stock-based Compensation
 
In connection with the conversion to stock form, the Bank established an ESOP for the exclusive benefit of eligible employees (all salaried employees who have completed at least 1,000 hours of service in a twelve-month period and have attained the age of 18).  The ESOP borrowed funds from the Company in an amount sufficient to purchase 62,775 shares (approximately 8% of the common stock issued in the stock offering).  The loan is secured by the shares purchased and is being repaid by the ESOP with funds from contributions made by the Bank and dividends received by the ESOP, with funds from any contributions on ESOP assets.  Contributions are being applied to repay interest on the loan first, then the remainder are being applied to principal.  The loan is expected to be repaid over a period of up to 15 years.  Shares purchased with the loan proceeds are being held in a suspense account for allocation among participants as the loan is repaid.  Contributions to the ESOP and shares released from the suspense account are allocated among participants in proportion to their compensation, relative to total compensation of all active participants.  Participants vest 100% in their accrued benefits under the employee stock ownership plan after three vesting years, with no prorated vesting prior to reaching three vesting years.  Vesting is accelerated upon retirement, death or disability of the participant or a change in control of the Bank.  Forfeitures will be reallocated to remaining plan participants.  Benefits may be payable upon retirement, death, disability, separation from service, or termination of the ESOP.  Since the Bank’s annual contributions are discretionary, benefits payable under the ESOP cannot be estimated.
 
Participants receive the shares at the end of employment.  Because the Company’s stock is not traded on an established market, as of June 30, 2012, it is required to provide the participants in the Plan with a put option to repurchase their shares.  This repurchase obligation is reflected in the Company’s financial statements in other liabilities and reduces shareholders’ equity by the estimated fair value of the earned shares.
 
The Company is accounting for its ESOP in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Employers Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans.  Accordingly, the debt of the ESOP is eliminated in consolidation and the shares pledged as collateral are reported as unearned ESOP shares in the consolidated balance sheet.  Contributions to the ESOP shall be sufficient to pay principal and interest currently due under the loan agreement.  As shares are committed to be released from collateral, the Company reports compensation expense equal to the average market price of the shares for the respective period, and the shares become outstanding for earnings per shares computations.  Dividends, if any, on unallocated ESOP shares are recorded as a reduction of debt and accrued interest.

On May 26, 2011, the stockholders approved the Harvard Illinois Bancorp, Inc. 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Equity Incentive Plan”) for employees and directors of the Company. The Equity Incentive Plan authorizes the issuance of up to 109,856 shares of the Company’s common stock, with no more than 31,387 of shares as restricted stock awards and 78,469 as stock options, either incentive stock options or non-qualified stock options. The exercise price of options granted under the Equity Incentive Plan may not be less than the fair market value on the date the stock option is granted. The compensation committee of the board of directors has sole discretion to determine the amount and to whom equity incentive awards are granted. Certain option awards provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change of control (as defined in the Equity Incentive Plan).

On June 23, 2011, the compensation committee of the board of directors approved the awards of 73,761 options to purchase Company stock and 31,387 shares of restricted stock.  Of the 73,761 stock options granted, 63,167 were qualified stock options and 10,594 were nonqualified.  Stock options and restricted stock vest ratably over a five year period, and stock options expire ten years after issuance.  Apart from the vesting schedule for both stock options and restricted stock, there are no performance-based conditions or any other material conditions applicable to the awards issued.  At June 30, 2012, there were 4,708 shares available for future option grants under this plan.

(1)  Based on closing price of $10.15 per share on June 30, 2012.
 
Intrinsic value for stock options is defined as the difference between the current market value and the exercise price.
 
The weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted during 2011 was $4.11.
 
The fair value for each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model that uses the following assumptions.  The Company uses the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant to determine the risk-free interest rate.  The expected dividend yield is estimated using the projected annual dividend level and recent stock price of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant.  Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the Company’s stock and other factors.  The expected life of the options is calculated based on the “simplified” method as provided for under Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110.  The expected term of options granted represents the period of time that options are expected to be outstanding.
 
The weighted-average assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model for the year indicated was as follows:
 
   
2011
       
Risk-free interest rate
    2.50 %
Expected dividend yield
    0.00 %
Expected stock volatility
    46.00 %
Expected life (years)
    7.00  
Fair value (not in thousands)
  $ 4.11  
 
During the six months ended June 30, 2012 14,752 options vested.  Stock-based compensation expense for stock options for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 was $30 and $0, respectively.  Total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options was $242 at June 30, 2012 and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.98 years.

    (1,569 )     8.10  
                 
Balance, June 30, 2012
    29,818     $ 8.10  
 
The fair value of the restricted stock awards is amortized to compensation expense over the vesting period (five years) and is based on the market price of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant multiplied by the number of shares granted that are expected to vest.  At the date of grant the par value of the shares granted was recorded in equity as a credit to common stock and a debit to paid-in capital.  Stock-based compensation expense for restricted stock for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 was $36 and $0, respectively.  Unrecognized compensation expense for restricted stock awards was $194 at June 30, 2012 and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.98 years.

Options to purchase 73,761 shares at a weighted-average exercise price of $8.10 were outstanding at June 30, 2012 and 2011, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share as the options were considered antidilutive for the periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.

Certain investments in debt and marketable equity securities are reported in the financial statements at amounts less than their historical cost.  Total fair value of these investments at June 30, 2012 was $3,487, which is approximately 34% of the Company’s available-for-sale and held-to-maturity investment portfolio.  These declines primarily resulted from recent increases in market interest rates.  Management believes the declines in fair value for these securities are not other-than-temporary.

The Company believes that sound loans are a necessary and desirable means of employing funds available for investment.  Recognizing the Company’s obligations to its depositors and to the communities it serves, authorized personnel are expected to seek to develop and make sound, profitable loans that resources permit and that opportunity affords.  The Company maintains lending policies and procedures in place designed to focus our lending efforts on the types, locations, and duration of loans most appropriate for our business model and markets.  The Company’s principal lending activity is the origination of one-to four-family residential mortgage loans but also includes commercial real estate, commercial and industrial, home equity, construction, agricultural and other loans.  The primary lending market is McHenry, Grundy and to a lesser extent Boone Counties in Illinois and Walworth County in Wisconsin.  Generally, loans are collateralized by assets, primarily real estate, of the borrowers and guaranteed by individuals.  The loans are expected to be repaid from cash flows of the borrowers or from proceeds from the sale of selected assets of the borrowers.
 
Pursuant to applicable law, the aggregate amount of loans that the Company is permitted to make to any one borrower or a group of related borrowers is generally limited to 25% of our total capital plus the allowance for loan losses.
 
Our lending is subject to written underwriting standards and origination procedures.  Decisions on loan applications are made on the basis of detailed applications submitted by the prospective borrower and property valuations (consistent with our appraisal policy) prepared by outside independent licensed appraisers approved by our board of directors as well as internal evaluations, where permitted by regulations.  The loan applications are designed primarily to determine the borrower’s ability to repay the requested loan, and the more significant items on the application are verified through use of credit reports, financial statements and tax returns.
 
Under our loan policy, the individual processing an application is responsible for ensuring that all documentation is obtained prior to the submission of the application to an officer for approval.  An officer then reviews these materials and verifies that the requested loan meets our underwriting guidelines described below.
 
 
16

 
 
All one-to-four family residential loans up to $500,000, vacant land loans up to $250,000, and any consumer loans require approval of our retail loan committee consisting of five officers.  All such loan approvals are reported at the next board meeting following said approval.  All secured commercial loans, including agricultural loans, up to $1,500,000 and unsecured loans up to $250,000 must be approved by our commercial credit management committee, which currently consists of our Chief Executive Officer, Executive Vice President and our Vice President – Commercial Loan Officer.  These approvals are reported at the next board meeting following said approval.  All other loans must be approved by the board.
 
Generally, title insurance or title searches on our mortgage loans are required as well as fire and extended coverage casualty insurance in amounts at least equal to the principal amount of the loan or the value of improvements on the property, depending on the type of loan.
 
One-to-Four Family Residential Mortgage Loans
 
The cornerstone of our lending program has long been the origination of long-term permanent loans secured by mortgages on owner-occupied one-to-four family residences.  Virtually all of the residential loans originated are secured by properties located in our market area.
 
Due to consumer demand in the current low market interest rate environment, many of our recent originations are 10- to 30-year fixed-rate loans secured by one-to-four family residential real estate.  The Company generally originates fixed-rate one-to-four family residential loans in accordance with secondary market standards to permit their sale.  During the last several years, consistent with our asset-liability management strategy, most of the fixed rate one-to-four family residential loans we originated with original terms to maturity in excess of ten years were sold in the secondary market.
 
During recent years, as a part of our asset/liability management policy, seven-year balloon loans with up to 30-year amortization schedules secured by one-to-four family real estate have been originated.
 
In order to reduce the term to repricing of the loan portfolio, adjustable-rate one-to-four family residential mortgage loans were originated.  However, our ability to originate such loans is limited in the current low interest rate environment due to low consumer demand.  Our current adjustable-rate mortgage loans carry interest rates that adjust annually at a margin over the one year U.S. Treasury index.  Many of our adjustable-rate one-to-four family residential mortgage loans have fixed rates for initial terms of three to five years.  Such loans carry terms to maturity of up to 30 years.  The adjustable-rate mortgage loans currently offered by the Company generally provide for a 200 basis point annual interest rate change cap and a lifetime cap of 600 basis points over the initial rate.
 
Although adjustable-rate mortgage loans may reduce to an extent our vulnerability to changes in market interest rates because they periodically reprice as interest rates increase, the required payments due from the borrower also increase (subject to rate caps), increasing the potential for default by the borrower.  At the same time, the marketability of the underlying collateral may be adversely affected by higher interest rates.
 
Upward adjustments of the contractual interest rate are also limited by the maximum periodic and lifetime rate adjustments permitted by our loan documents.  Moreover, the interest rates on many of our adjustable-rate loans do not adjust for the first three to five years.  As a result, the effectiveness of adjustable-rate mortgage loans may be limited during periods of rapidly rising interest rates.
 
The Company evaluates both the borrower’s ability to make principal, interest and escrow payments and the value of the property that will secure the loan.  One-to-four family residential mortgage loans do not currently include prepayment penalties, are non-assumable and do not produce negative amortization.  One-to-four family residential mortgage loans customarily include due-on-sale clauses giving the Company the right to declare the loan immediately due and payable in the event that, among other things, the borrower sells the property subject to the mortgage.  Residential mortgage loans are originated for our portfolio with loan-to-value ratios of up to 75% for one-to-four family homes, with higher limits applicable to loans with private mortgage insurance on owner-occupied residences.
 
Commercial Real Estate Loans
 
In recent years, in an effort to enhance the yield and reduce the term to maturity of our loan portfolio, the Company has sought to increase the commercial real estate loans.  Most of the commercial real estate loans have balloon loan terms of three to ten years with amortization terms of 15 to 25 years and fixed interest rates.  The maximum loan-to-value ratio of the commercial real estate loans is generally 75%.

The Company considers a number of factors in originating commercial real estate loans.  The qualifications and financial condition of the borrower are evaluated, including credit history, profitability and expertise, as well as the value and condition of the property securing the loan.  When evaluating the qualifications of the borrower, the financial resources of the borrower, the borrower’s experience in owning or managing similar property and the borrower’s payment history with the Company and other financial institutions are considered.  In evaluating the property securing the loan, the factors considered include the net operating income of the mortgaged property before debt service and depreciation, the ratio of the loan amount to the appraised value of the mortgaged property and the debt service coverage ratio (the ratio of net operating income to debt service).  All commercial real estate loans are appraised by outside independent appraisers approved by the board of directors or by internal evaluations, where permitted by regulation.  Personal guarantees are generally obtained from the principals of commercial real estate loans.
 
Loans secured by commercial real estate generally are larger than one-to-four family residential loans and involve greater credit risk.  Commercial real estate loans often involve large loan balances to single borrowers or groups of related borrowers.  Repayment of these loans depends to a large degree on the results of operations and management of the properties securing the loans or the businesses conducted on such property, and may be affected to a greater extent by adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy in general.  Accordingly, the nature of these loans makes them more difficult for management to monitor and evaluate.
 
Multi Family Real Estate Loans
 
The Company has a limited number of loans on multi-family residences in our market area.  Such loans have terms and are underwritten similarly to our commercial real estate loans and are subject to similar risks.
 
Home Equity Loans
 
The Company originates variable-rate home equity lines-of-credit and, to a lesser extent, fixed- and variable-rate loans secured by liens on the borrower’s primary residence.  Home equity products are generally limited to 75% of the property value less any other mortgages.  Prior to 2009, home equity loans were originated up to 90% of the property value to our customers where we serviced their first lien mortgage loan.  The same underwriting standards are used for home equity lines-of-credit and loans as used for one-to-four family residential mortgage loans.  The home equity line-of-credit product carries an interest rate tied to the prime rate published in the Wall Street Journal.  The product has a rate ceiling of 18%.  Home equity loans with fixed-rate terms typically amortize over a period of up to 15 years.  Home equity lines-of-credit provide for an initial draw period of up to five years, with monthly payments of interest calculated on the outstanding balance.  At the end of the initial five years, the line may be paid in full or restructured at our then current home equity program.
 
Construction and Land Development Loans
 
The Company has construction loans to builders and developers for the construction of one- to four- and multi-family residential units and to individuals for the construction of their primary or secondary residence.  The Company has a limited amount of land loans to developers, primarily for the purpose of developing residential subdivisions.
 
The application process includes a submission of plans, specifications, and costs of the project to be constructed or developed.  These items are used as a basis to determine the appraised value of the subject property.  Loans are based on the lesser of current appraised value and/or the cost of construction (land plus building).  Construction loan agreements generally provide that loan proceeds are disbursed in increments as construction progresses.  Outside independent licensed appraisers or title company representatives under a construction loan escrow agreement inspect the progress of the construction of the dwelling before disbursements are made.
 
The Company occasionally makes loans to builders and developers “on speculation” to finance the construction of residential property where no buyer for the property has been identified.  At June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, there were no construction loans secured by a one-to-four family residential property built on speculation.
 
The Company has construction loans for commercial development projects such as multi-family, apartment and other commercial buildings.  These loans generally have an interest-only phase during construction then convert to permanent financing.  Disbursements of construction loan funds are at our discretion based on the progress of construction.  The maximum loan-to-value ratio limit applicable to these loans is generally 75%.

The Company has loans to builders and developers for the development of one-to-four family lots in our market area.  These loans have terms of five years or less.  Land loans are generally made in amounts up to a maximum loan-to-value ratio of 65% on raw land and up to 75% on developed building lots based upon an independent appraisal.  Personal guarantees are obtained for land loans.
 
Loans to individuals for the construction of their residences typically run for up to seven months and then convert to permanent loans.  These construction loans have rates and terms comparable to one-to-four family residential loans offered.  During the construction phase, the borrower pays interest only at a fixed rate.  The maximum loan-to-value ratio of owner-occupied single-family construction loans is 75%.  Residential construction loans are generally underwritten pursuant to the same guidelines used for originating permanent residential loans.
 
Construction and land lending generally affords the Company an opportunity to receive higher origination and other loan fees.  In addition, such loans are generally made for relatively short terms.  Nevertheless, construction and land lending to persons other than owner-occupants is generally considered to involve a higher level of credit risk than one-to-four family residential lending due to the concentration of principal in a limited number of loans and borrowers and the effects of general economic conditions on construction projects, real estate developers and managers.  In addition, the nature of these loans is such that they are more difficult to evaluate and monitor.  Risk of loss on a construction or land loan is dependent largely upon the accuracy of the initial estimate of the property’s value upon completion of the project and the estimated cost (including interest) of the project.  If the estimate of value proves to be inaccurate, the Company may be confronted, at or prior to the maturity of the loan, with a project with a value which is insufficient to assure full repayment and/or the possibility of having to make substantial investments to complete and sell the project.  Because defaults in repayment may not occur during the construction period, it may be difficult to identify problem loans at an early stage.  When loan payments become due, the cash flow from the property may not be adequate to service the debt.  In such cases, the Company may be required to modify the terms of the loan.
 
Farmland
 
These loans are primarily secured by farmland located in our market area.  Adjustable rate farmland loans have interest rates that generally adjust every one, three or five years in accordance with a designated index and are generally amortized over 15-25 years.  Fixed-rate farmland loans generally are for terms of up to 15 years, although many are amortized over longer periods, and include a balloon payment at maturity.  Lending policies on such loans generally limit the maximum loan-to-value ratio to 75% of the lesser of the appraised value or purchase price of the property.
 
While earning higher yields on agricultural mortgage loans than on single-family residential mortgage loans, agricultural-related lending involves a greater degree of risk than single-family residential mortgage loans because of the typically larger loan amounts and potential volatility in the market.  In addition, repayments on agricultural loans are substantially dependent on the successful operation of the underlying business and the value of the property collateralizing the loan, both of which are affected by many factors, such as weather and changing market prices, outside the control of the borrower.  Finally, some commentators believe that the recent sharp increases in farm land prices could make a price correction more likely.
 
Substantially all farmland loans are underwritten to conform to agency guidelines to qualify for a government guarantee of up to 90% of the original loan amount, which in turn qualifies them to be sold to a variety of investors in the secondary market.  Once the government guarantee is secured from Farmers Home Loan Administration, the guarantee covers up to 90% of any loss on the loan.  Longer-term fixed-rate agricultural mortgage loans may be sold in the secondary market, which the Company services for the secondary market purchaser.
 
Commercial and Industrial Loans
 
Commercial and industrial loans and lines of credit are originated to small and medium-sized companies in our primary market area.  Commercial and industrial loans are generally used for working capital purposes or for acquiring equipment, inventory or furniture.  Commercial and industrial loans generally carry a floating-rate indexed to the prime rate as published in The Wall Street Journal and a one-year term.  All commercial and industrial loans are secured.
 
When making commercial and industrial loans, the financial statements of the borrower, the lending history of the borrower, the debt service capabilities of the borrower, the projected cash flows of the business, the value of the collateral, if any, and whether the loan is guaranteed by the principals of the borrower are considered.  Commercial and industrial loans are generally secured by accounts receivable, inventory, equipment and personal guarantees.
 
Commercial and industrial loans generally have a greater credit risk than residential mortgage loans.  Unlike residential mortgage loans, which generally are made on the basis of the borrower’s ability to make repayment from his or her employment and other income, and which are secured by real property whose value tends to be more easily ascertainable, commercial and industrial loans are of higher risk and typically are made on the basis of the borrower’s ability to make repayment from the cash flow of the borrower’s business.  As a result, the availability of funds for the repayment of commercial and industrial loans may be substantially dependent on the success of the business itself.  Further, the collateral securing the loans may depreciate over time, may be difficult to appraise and may fluctuate in value based on the success of the business.  These risks are minimized through underwriting standards and personal guarantees.

Agricultural Loans
 
Agricultural operating lines of credit generally have terms of one year and are secured by growing crops, livestock and equipment, and mortgages on the farmland.  Intermediate-term loans have terms of 2-7 years and will be secured by machinery and equipment.  Generally these loans are extended to farmers in our market area for the purchase of equipment, seed, fertilizer, insecticide and other purposes in connection with agricultural production.  The maximum term for equipment secured loans is tied to the useful life of the underlying collateral but generally does not exceed 10 years.  The interest rate is generally increased with respect to the longer terms loans due to the rate exposure of these loans.  The amount of the commitment is based on management’s review of the borrower’s business plan, prior performance, marketability of crops, and current market prices.  Recent financial statements are examined and evaluate cash flow analysis and debt-to-net worth, and liquidity ratios.  Loans for crop production generally require 75% or more crop insurance coverage.
 
The repayment of agricultural business loans generally is dependent on the successful operation of a farm and can be adversely affected by fluctuations in crop prices, increase in interest rates, and changes in weather conditions.  These developments may result in smaller harvests and less income for farmers which may adversely affect such borrower’s ability to repay a loan.  Many borrowers also have more than one agricultural business loan outstanding with us.  Consequently, an adverse development with respect to one loan or one credit relationship can expose the Company to significantly greater risk of loss compared to an adverse development with respect to a one-to-four family residential mortgage loan.  Finally, if the Company forecloses on an agricultural commercial loan, our holding period for the collateral, if any, typically is longer than for one-to-four family residential mortgage loans because there are fewer potential purchasers of the collateral.
 
Consumer Loans
 
The Company has secured and unsecured loans to consumers.  However, during recent years, most consumer lending efforts were focused on purchases of indirect automobile loans.
 
In an effort to expand and diversify our loan portfolio and increase the overall yield on our loan portfolio, since 1999 the Company has purchased indirect loans on new and used automobiles located primarily in Cook County, Illinois.  Although we do not separately underwrite each purchased loan, we thoroughly review the knowledge and experience of the originators’ management teams, their underwriting standards, and their historical loss rates.  In 2008, we dramatically reduced new indirect automobile loan purchases based on the risk concentration in our portfolio, liquidity requirements, and current economic conditions.  The Company resumed purchases in April 2011.
 
Under the loan purchase arrangement, on a monthly basis the seller aggregates indirect automobile loans into separate loan pools. The pools are then segregated into risk categories with each category having predefined limits as to the maximum amounts allowed. Generally, the pools are sold without recourse. The Company receives a listing of the individual loans in the pool, including loan and borrower information prior to funding the purchase but the Company is not generally permitted to substitute loans in a pool or purchase part of a pool.
 
The seller is responsible for dealer relationships and the monitoring of their performance. The seller performs all servicing functions including the collection of principal, interest, and fees as well as repossessions and recoveries. Thus, the Company is not involved in the sale of repossessed vehicles.
 
The Company performs semi-annual reviews of newly purchased loan files and review operational procedures as part of our internal audit function.

Consumer loans may entail greater credit risk than residential mortgage loans, particularly in the case of consumer loans which are unsecured or are secured by rapidly depreciable assets, such as automobiles. In addition, consumer loan collections are dependent on the borrower’s continuing financial stability, and thus are more likely to be affected by adverse personal circumstances as well as the economy. Furthermore, the application of various federal and state laws, including bankruptcy and insolvency laws, may limit the amount which can be recovered on such loans.

Management’s opinion as to the ultimate collectability of loans is subject to estimates regarding future cash flows from operations and the value of property, real and personal, pledged as collateral.  These estimates are affected by changing economic conditions and the economic prospects of borrowers.
 
Allowance for Loan Losses
 
Our allowance for loan losses is the estimated amount considered necessary to reflect probable incurred credit losses in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date.  The allowance is established through the provision for loan losses, which is charged against income.  In determining the allowance for loan losses, management makes significant estimates and has identified this policy as one of the most critical for the Company.  The methodology for determining the allowance for loan losses is considered a critical accounting policy by management due to the high degree of judgment involved, the subjectivity of the assumptions utilized, and the potential for changes in the economic environment that could result in changes to the amount of the recorded allowance for loan losses.
 
Since a substantial amount of our loan portfolio is collateralized by real estate, appraisals of the underlying value of property securing loans and discounted cash flow valuations of properties are critical in determining the amount of the allowance required for specific loans.  Assumptions for appraisals and discounted cash flow valuations are instrumental in determining the value of properties.  Overly optimistic assumptions or negative changes to assumptions could significantly impact the valuation of a property securing a loan and the related allowance determined.  The assumptions supporting such appraisals and discounted cash flow valuations are carefully reviewed by management to determine that the resulting values reasonably reflect amounts realizable on the related loans.
 
Management performs a quarterly evaluation of the allowance for loan losses.  Consideration is given to a variety of factors in establishing this estimate including, but not limited to, current economic conditions, delinquency statistics, geographic and industry concentrations, the value of the underlying collateral, the financial strength of the borrower, results of internal loan reviews and other relevant factors.  This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires material estimates that may be susceptible to significant revision based on changes in economic and real estate market conditions.
 
The analysis of the allowance for loan losses has two components: specific and general allocations.  Specific allocations are made for loans that are determined to be impaired.  Impairment loss is measured by determining the present value of expected future cash flows or, for collateral-dependent loans, the fair value of the collateral adjusted for market conditions and selling expenses.  The general allocation is determined by segregating classified loans from the remaining loans, and then categorizing each group by type of loan.  Loans within each type exhibit common characteristics including terms, collateral type, and other risk characteristics.  The Company also analyzes historical loss experience, delinquency trends, general economic conditions and geographic and industry concentrations.  This analysis establishes factors that are applied to the loan groups to determine the amount of the general allocations.

Although the Company’s policy allows for a general valuation allowance on certain smaller-balance, homogenous pools of loans classified as substandard, the Company has historically evaluated every loan classified as substandard, regardless of size for impairment as part of the review for establishing specific allowances.  The Company’s policy also allows for general valuation allowance on certain smaller-balance homogenous pools of loans which are loans criticized as special mention or watch.  A separate general allowance calculation is made on these loans based on historical measured weakness, and which is no less than twice the amount of the general allowance calculated on the non-classified loans.
 
There have been no changes to the Company’s accounting policies or methodology from the prior periods.
 
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.  All commercial, agricultural and land development loans are graded at inception of the loan.  Subsequently, analyses are performed on an annual basis and grade changes are made as necessary.  Interim grade reviews may take place if circumstances of the borrower warrant a more timely review.  The Company utilizes an internal asset classification system as a means of reporting problem and potential problem loans.  Under the Company’s risk rating system, the Company classifies problem and potential problem loans as “Watch,” “Substandard,” “Doubtful,” and “Loss.”  The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:
 
Pass – Loans classified as pass are well protected by the ability of the borrower to pay or by the value of the asset or underlying collateral.
 
Watch – Loans classified as watch represent loans with the minimum level of acceptable credit risk and servicing requirements and the borrower has the capacity to perform according to the terms and repayment is expected.  However, one or more elements of uncertainty exist.
 
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 Company’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.
 
Loss – Loans classified as loss are the portion of the loan that is considered uncollectible so that its continuance as an asset is not warranted.  The amount of the loss determined will be charged-off.

The accrual of interest on loans is generally discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days past due unless the credit is well-secured and in process of collection.  Past due status is based on contractual terms of the loan.  In all cases, loans are placed on non-accrual or charged-off at the earlier date if collection of principal and interest is considered doubtful.
 
All interest accrued but not collected for loans that are placed on non-accrual or charged-off are reversed against interest income.  The interest on these loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual.  Loans are returned to accrual status when all principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

At June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company held $19,032 and $14,313 in agricultural production loans and $9,429 and $9,531, respectively in farmland loans in the Company’s geographic lending area. Generally, those loans are collateralized by assets of the borrower. The loans are expected to be repaid from cash flows or from proceeds of sale of related assets of the borrower. Declines in prices for corn, beans, livestock and farmland, and the effects of the current severe drought conditions locally and nationwide could significantly affect the repayment ability for many agriculture and farmland loan customers, as well as commercial loan customers whose businesses depend on or are related to farming.
 
At June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company held $25,292 and $25,192 in commercial real estate loans and $2,581 and $2,522 in loans collateralized by construction and development real estate primarily in the Company’s geographic lending area.  Due to national, state and local economic conditions, values for commercial and development real estate have declined significantly, and the market for these properties is depressed.
 
Loans contractually delinquent 30 days or more increased $1,168 from December 31, 2011 to $6,860 at June 30, 2012 primarily as a result of an increase in delinquent commercial real estate loans of $2,102, partially offset by a decrease in delinquent one-to-four family real estate loans of $796.

A loan is considered impaired, in accordance with the impairment accounting guidance (ASC 310-10-35-16), when based on current information and events, it is probable the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due from the borrower in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan.  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 loans 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 the expected future cash flows, the loan’s observable market value, or, for collateral-dependent loans, the fair value of the collateral adjusted for market conditions and selling expenses.  Significant restructured loans are considered impaired in determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.
 
The Company actively seeks to reduce its investment in impaired loans.  The primary tools to work through impaired loans are settlement with the borrowers or guarantors, foreclosure of the underlying collateral, or restructuring.
 
The Company will restructure loans when the borrower demonstrates the inability to comply with the terms of the loan, but can demonstrate the ability to meet acceptable restructured terms.  Restructurings generally include one or more of the following restructuring options; reduction in the interest rate on the loan, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance, or other actions intended to maximize collection.  Restructured loans in compliance with modified terms are initially classified as impaired.

Interest income recognized on impaired loans includes interest accrued and collected on the outstanding balances of accruing impaired loans as well as interest cash collections on non-accruing impaired loans for which the ultimate collectability of principal is not uncertain.
 
Included in certain loan categories in the impaired loans are troubled debt restructurings (“TDR”), where economic concessions have been granted to borrowers who have experienced financial difficulties that were classified as impaired.  These concessions typically result from our loss mitigation activities and could include reductions in the interest rate, payment extensions, forgiveness of principal, forbearance or other actions.  TDRs are considered impaired at the time of restructuring and typically are returned to accrual status after considering the borrower’s sustained repayment performance for a reasonable period of at least twelve months.

When loans and leases are modified into a TDR, the Company evaluates 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 or lease agreement, or based on the current fair value of the collateral, less selling costs for collateral dependent loans.  If the Company determines 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, the Company evaluates all TDRs, including those that have payment defaults, for possible impairment and recognizes impairment through the allowance.
 
Given the current adverse economic environment and negative outlook in the residential real estate market, the Company includes in its methodology for the valuation of loans in its real estate portfolio a methodology that applies downward “qualitative” adjustments to the real estate appraised values for residential loans that are deemed impaired.  We believe that these qualitative appraisal adjustments more accurately reflect real estate values in light of the sales experience and economic conditions that we have recently observed.  As a result of the increased TDR’s in residential real estate, the specific and general allowance have been increased in this category since December 31, 2011.
 
The following table presents the recorded balance, at original cost, of troubled debt restructurings, all of which were performing according to the terms of the restructuring, as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011:

There were no loans modified as troubled debt restructures during the three month period ended June 30, 2012.
 
During the six month period ended June 30, 2012, the Company modified one residential real estate loan, with a recorded investment of $65 prior to modification, which was deemed a TDR.  The modification involved both an interest rate and maturity concession, which resulted in an impairment loss of $1 based upon the present value of expected future cash flows.  During the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company modified one commercial real estate loan totaling $1,390 involving a maturity concession only, which resulted in no impairment loss and specific allowances of $36 based upon the fair value of the collateral.
 
As of June 30, 2012 there were no loans in default that had been modified within the previous 12 months as a troubled debt restructuring.
 
The following table presents the Company’s nonaccrual loans at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.  Nonaccrual loans include troubled debt restructurings of $3,891 and $3,834 at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, all of which are performing according to the terms of the restructuring.

Note 8:         Federal Home Loan Bank Stock
 
Federal Home Loan Bank stock is a required investment for institutions that are members of the Federal Home Loan Bank system.  The required investment in the common stock is based on a predetermined formula.
 
The Company owned $2,660 and $6,549 or 26,596 and 65,489 shares, respectively, of Federal Home Loan Bank stock of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago (FHLB) as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.  Management performed an analysis and deemed the cost method investment in FHLB stock was ultimately recoverable.
 
In 2012 and 2011, the FHLB declared and paid quarterly dividends.
 
During 2012, the Company redeemed $3,889 of its excess stock at its carrying amount.  At June 30, 2012, the Company had excess stock of $1,847.
 
On July 16, 2012, the FHLB announced that it will be repurchasing approximately $150,000 in excess capital stock held by its members or approximately 33% of the excess capital stock outstanding, effective August 15, 2012.
 
On April 18, 2012, the FHLB announced that its Board of Directors and its regulator, the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), had agreed to terminate the Consent Cease and Desist Order, effective immediately.  The FHLB can now declare quarterly dividends without the consent of the FHFA subject to two stipulations:
 
 
·
The dividend payment must be at or below the average of the three-month LIBOR for that quarter.
 
 
·
Paying the dividend will not result in the FHLB’s retained earnings falling below the level at the previous year-end.

The decrease in the valuation allowance of $40 in 2012 is due to the reversal of a portion of the previous valuation allowance related to the capital losses.  As further discussed in Note 8, the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago (FHLB) announced on July 16, 2012 that it will be repurchasing approximately 33% of the excess capital stock outstanding, effective August 15, 2012.  In addition, the FHLB repurchased $3,889 of the Company’s excess FHLB stock investment during the six months ended June 30, 2012.  Management believes the Company has capital gains to enable a portion of the capital losses to be utilized prior to expiration.
 
Note 11:      Disclosures About Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities
 
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.  Fair value measurements must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.  There is a hierarchy of three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
 
 
Level 1
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
 
 
Level 2
Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities
 
 
Level 3
Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities

The following table presents the fair value measurements of assets and liabilities recognized in the accompanying balance sheets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements fall at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011:

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies and inputs used for assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and recognized in the accompanying balance sheets, as well as the general classification of such assets pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.  There have been no significant changes in the valuation techniques during the period ended June 30, 2012.  For assets classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, the process used to develop the reported fair value is described below.
 
Available-for-sale Securities
 
Where quoted market prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy.  Level 1 securities include equity securities in FNMA and FHLMC common stock as well as shares in publicly traded financial institutions.  If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics or discounted cash flows, the inputs of which are market-based or independently sourced market parameters, including, but not limited to, yield curves, interest rates, volatilities, prepayments, defaults, cumulative loss projections and cash flows.  Such securities are classified in Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.  Level 2 securities include U.S. Government and federal agency, mortgage-backed securities (GSE - residential), municipal securities, and mutual funds.  Municipal securities are generally priced using a matrix pricing model.  In certain cases where Level 1 or Level 2 inputs are not available, securities are classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy.  As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, there were no securities classified as Level 3.
 
 
39

 
 
Mortgage Servicing Rights
 
Mortgage servicing rights do not trade in an active, open market with readily observable prices.  Accordingly, fair value is estimated using discounted cash flow models.  Due to the nature of the valuation inputs, mortgage servicing rights are classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy.

Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and recognized in the accompanying balance sheets, as well as the general classification of such assets pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.  For assets classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, the process used to develop the reported fair value is described below.
 
Collateral-dependent Impaired Loans, Net of ALLL
 
The estimated fair value of collateral-dependent impaired loans is based on the appraised fair value of the collateral, less estimated cost to sell.  Collateral-dependent impaired loans are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
 
The Company considers the appraisal or evaluation as the starting point for determining fair value and then considers other factors and events in the environment that may affect the fair value.  Appraisals of the collateral underlying collateral-dependent loans are obtained when the loan is determined to be collateral-dependent and subsequently as deemed necessary by the Controller’s office.  Appraisals are reviewed for accuracy and consistency by the Controller’s office.  Appraisers are selected from the list of approved appraisers maintained by management.  The appraised values are reduced by discounts to consider lack of marketability and estimated cost to sell if repayment or satisfaction of the loan is dependent on the sale of the collateral.  These discounts and estimates are developed by the Controller’s office by comparison to historical results.  Fair value adjustments on impaired loans were $21 at June 30, 2012 compared to $(570) at December 31, 2011.
 
Foreclosed Assets
 
Foreclosed assets consist primarily of real estate owned.  Real estate owned (OREO) is carried at the lower of fair value at acquisition date or current estimated fair value, less estimated cost to sell when the real estate is acquired.  Estimated fair value of OREO is based on appraisals or evaluations.  OREO is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
 
Appraisals of OREO are obtained when the real estate is acquired and subsequently as deemed necessary by the Controller’s office.  Appraisals are reviewed for accuracy and consistency by the Controller’s office.  Appraisers are selected from the list of approved appraisers maintained by management.  Fair value adjustments on foreclosed assets were $(485) at June 30, 2012 compared to $(107) at December 31, 2011.

The following methods were used to estimate the fair value of all other financial instruments recognized in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at amounts other than fair value.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Interest-Bearing Deposits with Other Financial Institutions, Federal Home Loan Bank Stock, Accrued Interest Receivable, Accrued Interest Payable and Advances from Borrowers for Taxes and Insurance
 
The carrying amount approximates fair value.
 
Held-to-maturity Securities
 
Fair value is based on quoted market prices, if available.  If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for securities with similar characteristics or independent asset pricing services and pricing models, the inputs of which are market-based or independently sourced market parameters, defaults, cumulative loss projections and cash flows.
 
Loans
 
The fair value of loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities.  Loans with similar characteristics were aggregated for purposes of the calculations.
 
Deposits
 
Deposits include demand deposits, savings accounts, NOW accounts and certain money market deposits.  The carrying amount of these types of deposits approximates fair value.  The fair value of fixed-maturity time deposits is estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities.
 
Federal Home Loan Bank Advances
 
Rates currently available to the Company for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities are used to estimate the fair value of existing debt.
 
Commitments to Originate Loans, Letters of Credit and Lines of Credit
 
The fair value of commitments to originate loans is 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 counterparties.  For fixed-rate loan commitments, fair value also considers the difference between current levels of interest rates and the committed rates.  The fair values of letters of credit and lines of credit are based on fees currently charged for similar agreements, or on the estimated cost to terminate or otherwise settle the obligations with the counterparties at the reporting date.
 
Note 12:      Commitments
 
Commitments to Originate Loans
 
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 a portion of the commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.  Each customer’s creditworthiness is evaluated on a case-by-case basis.  The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty.  Collateral held varies, but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, commercial real estate and residential real estate.
 
 
43

 
 
Standby Letters of Credit
 
Standby letters of credit are irrevocable conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party.  Financial standby letters of credit are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements, including commercial paper, bond financing and similar transactions.  Performance standby letters of credit are issued to guarantee performance of certain customers under non-financial contractual obligations.  The credit risk involved in issuing standby letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers.  Should the Company be obligated to perform under the standby letters of credit, the Company may seek recourse from the customer for reimbursement of amounts paid.
 
Lines of Credit
 
Lines of credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract.  Lines of credit generally have fixed expiration dates.  Since a portion of the line may expire without being drawn upon, the total unused lines do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.  Each customer’s creditworthiness is evaluated on a case-by-case basis.  The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counterparty.  Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment, commercial real estate and residential real estate.  Management uses the same credit policies in granting lines of credit as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.
 
Note 13:      Regulatory Matters
 
Effective September 2, 2010, the Board of Directors of the Company entered into a memorandum of understanding (the “MOU”) with the Office of Thrift Supervision (the “OTS”).  The MOU, which is an informal enforcement action, requires the Company to take a number of actions, including among other things:
 
 
(A)
review the business plan of its subsidiary, Harvard Savings Bank, and provide the OTS with a written compliance report identifying any instances of Bank’s material non-compliance with its business plan and establishing a target date for correcting any such non-compliance or indicating that a new business plan will be submitted;
 
 
(B)
submit a capital plan (the “Capital Plan”) which shall include, among other things, a minimum tangible capital ratio commensurate with the Company’s consolidated risk profile, capital preservation strategies to achieve and maintain the Board-established minimum tangible equity capital ratio, operating strategies to achieve net income levels that will result in adequate cash flow throughout the term of the Capital Plan, and quarterly pro forma consolidated and unconsolidated financial statements for the period covered by the Capital Plan;
 
 
(C)
submit any material modifications to the Capital Plan to the OTS for its non-objection;
 
 
(D)
update the Capital Plan on an annual basis;
 
 
(E)
prepare and submit quarterly reports comparing projected operating results contained in the Capital Plan to actual results;
 
 
(F)
implement a risk management program which shall, among other things, appoint one or more individuals responsible for implementing and maintaining the program, clearly define the duties of the appointed individual(s), and identify the means and methods to be used to identify and monitor significant risks and trends impacting the Company’s consolidated risk and compliance profile;
 
 
(G)
to not declare or pay any dividends or purchase, repurchase, or redeem, or commit to purchase, repurchase, or redeem any Company stock without the prior written non-objection of the OTS; and
 
 
(H)
to not incur any additional debt at the holding company without the prior written non-objection of the OTS.
 
The Company has taken the relevant actions to comply with the terms of the agreement and believes it will be able to maintain compliance, although compliance will be determined by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (FRB) which now supervises the Company, and not by the Company.  The requirements of the MOU will remain in effect until the FRB decides to terminate, suspend or modify it.

statements of our goals, intentions and expectations;
 
 
·
statements regarding our business plans, prospects, growth and operating strategies;
 
 
·
statements regarding the asset quality of our loan and investment portfolios; and
 
 
·
estimates of our risks and future costs and benefits.
 
These forward-looking statements are based on our current beliefs and expectations and are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control.  In addition, these forward-looking statements are subject to assumptions with respect to future business strategies and decisions that are subject to change.  We are under no duty to and do not take any obligation to update any forward-looking statements after the date of this Form 10-Q.
 
The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements:
 
 
·
our ability to manage our operations under the current adverse economic conditions (including real estate values, loan demand, inflation, commodity prices and employment levels) nationally and in our market areas;
 
 
·
adverse changes in the financial industry, securities, credit and national and local real estate markets (including real estate values);
 
 
·
The current drought conditions, which may increase the likelihood that our agricultural and farmland loan customers, as well as commercial loan customers whose businesses depend on or are related to agriculture, are unable to make payments on their loans, and which may reduce deposits from such customers as their revenues decrease and expenses increase.
 
 
·
increased competition among depository and other financial institutions;
 
 
·
our ability to successfully diversify our loan portfolio by increasing commercial and industrial, agricultural and farmland lending while reducing our reliance on residential and commercial real estate lending without experiencing a significant decrease in asset quality;
 
 
·
the expenses and diversion of management’s time and attention resulting from our efforts to oppose stockholder nominations;
 
 
·
significant restrictions on our operations imposed by a memorandum of understanding to which we are subject, and our ability to alter our business plan or obtain waivers to such restrictions from our regulators;
 
 
·
changes in the interest rate environment that reduce our margins or reduce the fair value of our financial instruments and real estate;
 
 
·
declines in the yield on our assets resulting from the current low interest rate environment;
 
 
·
risks related to increasing our commercial and industrial, agricultural and farmland loan portfolios, including increased risk of adverse changes in the local, national and international agricultural markets, including weather, pests and government regulation and support, which impact the value of our farmland and agricultural loans, and economic conditions in our market areas, which impact the value of commercial and industrial loans;
 
 
45

 
 
 
·
risks related to high concentration of loans secured by real estate located in our market areas;
 
 
·
increases in deposit and premium assessments;
 
 
·
legislative or regulatory changes, including increased compliance costs resulting from the recently enacted financial reform legislation, that adversely affect our business and earnings;
 
 
·
changes in the level of government support of housing finance;
 
 
·
our ability to enter new markets successfully and capitalize on growth opportunities;
 
 
·
our ability to successfully grow our Morris operations;
 
 
·
our reliance on a small executive staff;
 
 
·
changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits;
 
 
·
changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the bank regulatory agencies, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board;
 
 
·
risks and costs related to operating as a publicly traded company;
 
 
·
changes in our organization, compensation and benefit plans;
 
 
·
loan delinquencies and changes in the underlying cash flows of our borrowers resulting in increased loan losses;
 
 
·
changes in our financial condition or results of operations that reduce capital available to pay dividends; and
 
 
·
changes in the financial condition or future prospects of issuers of securities that we own, including our stock in the FHLB of Chicago.
 
Because of these and a wide variety of other uncertainties, our actual future results may be materially different from the results indicated by these forward-looking statements.
 
OVERVIEW
 
Harvard Illinois Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) is a savings and loan holding company and is subject to regulation by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.  The Company’s business activities are limited to oversight of its investment in Harvard Savings Bank (the “Bank”).
 
The Bank is primarily engaged in providing a full range of banking and mortgage services to consumer and business customers in McHenry County, Grundy County, and to a lesser extent Boone County, Illinois and Walworth County in Wisconsin.  The Bank is subject to regulation by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation.
 
In recent years, we have adopted a strategy focused on limiting the growth of our balance sheet given the current economic environment, and increasing the yield of our loans, shortening asset duration and reducing our exposure to loans collateralized by real estate in our market area, which has experienced significant declines in value, reducing our reliance on borrowed funds, and increasing our core deposits (which we consider to be deposits other than certificates of deposit).
 
 
46

 
 
The implementation of this strategy involves achieving and maintaining a portfolio balance that is less dependent on one- to four-family residential and commercial real estate loans and more focused on commercial and industrial, agricultural and farmland loans, with an appropriate balance of home equity lines of credit and other second mortgage loans, purchased indirect automobile loans, consumer loans and construction and land development loans. In December 2009, we hired an experienced agricultural lending officer and commenced an agricultural lending program as part of that strategy.  We have focused our efforts in commercial and industrial lending, agriculture lending and farmland lending, on borrowers seeking loans in the $2.0 million or less range.  We have also sought to reduce our activity and concentration in commercial real estate loans, due to continued significant weakness in commercial real estate values in our market area. During the last several quarters, we curtailed our commercial real estate loan origination and continued to sell most of the one- to four-family residential loans that we originate. Our efforts to curtail commercial real estate origination were offset by our determination to originate selected commercial real estate loans (other than farmland loans) in order to maintain high-quality agricultural and farmland lending customers of our new agricultural lending officer. The majority of our loan activity historically has been, and continues to be, loan origination activity in our market area. As a long-standing community lender, we believe we can effectively compete for this business by emphasizing superior customer service and local underwriting, which differentiates us from larger commercial banks in our primary market area. Historically, we also have purchased a significant number of indirect automobile loans, although during 2008 we determined to substantially reduce our purchases due to loan concentration issues and economic conditions.  We began purchasing indirect automobile loans again in April 2011, with a target portfolio of $8-$9 million. Subject to future market, economic and regulatory conditions, we expect commercial and industrial, farmland, agricultural, and purchased indirect automobile loans will continue to be areas of sound loan growth.
 
On May 26, 2011, the stockholders approved the Harvard Illinois Bancorp, Inc. 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Equity Incentive Plan”) for employees and directors of the Company.  The Equity Incentive Plan authorizes the issuance of up to 109,856 shares of the Company’s common stock, with no more than 31,387 of shares as restricted stock awards and 78,469 as stock options, either incentive stock options or non-qualified stock options.  The exercise price of options granted under the Equity Incentive Plan may not be less than the fair market value on the date the stock option is granted.  The compensation committee of the board of directors has sole discretion to determine the amount and to whom equity incentive awards are granted.
 
On June 23, 2011, the compensation committee of the board of directors approved the awards of 73,761 options to purchase Company stock and 31,387 shares of restricted stock.  Stock options and restricted stock vest ratably over a five year period, and stock options expire ten years after issuance.  Apart from the vesting schedule for both stock options and restricted stock, there are no performance-based conditions or any other material conditions applicable to the awards issued.  At June 30, 2012, there were 4,708 shares available for future option grants under this plan.
 
Our results of operations depend primarily on our net interest income.  Net interest income is the difference between the interest income we earn on our interest-earning assets, consisting primarily of loans, investment securities and other interest-earning assets, and the interest paid on our interest-bearing liabilities, consisting primarily of savings and transaction accounts, certificates of deposit, and Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago advances.  Our results of operations also are affected by our provision for loan losses, noninterest income and noninterest expense.  Noninterest income consists primarily of customer service fees, brokerage commission income, net realized gains on loan sales, loan servicing fees, and net income on bank-owned life insurance, offset by impairment charges on securities.  Noninterest expense consists primarily of compensation and benefits, occupancy, data processing, professional fees, marketing, office supplies, federal deposit insurance premiums, indirect automobile servicing fees, and foreclosed assets.  Our results of operations also may be affected significantly by general and local economic and competitive conditions, changes in market interest rates, governmental policies and actions of regulatory authorities.
 
As further discussed in Note 13 to the financial statements included herein, the Company entered into a memorandum of understanding (the “MOU”) with the Office of Thrift Supervision (the “OTS”).  Effective July 21, 2011, supervisory authority with respect to the MOU was transferred from the OTS to the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve Board”).  Among other provisions, this informal enforcement action prohibits the Company from declaring or paying dividends, or repurchasing any Company stock without the prior written consent of the Federal Reserve Board.  The Company has taken the relevant actions to comply with the terms of the agreement and believes it will be able to maintain compliance. The requirements of the MOU will remain in effect until the Federal Reserve Board decides to terminate, suspend or modify it.
 
The national economy, and the local economies within our market areas, remain weak.  The economy has been marked by high unemployment rates, large numbers of foreclosures, and contractions in business and consumer credit.  The national and local unemployment rates have shown some improvement in 2011 and 2012, but remain high.   These conditions have had a significant negative impact on real estate and related industries, which has led to decreases in commercial and residential real estate sales, construction and property values over the past several quarters. We have experienced high levels of non-performing loans and net charge-offs, although net charge-offs were lower for the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to the same period in 2011.  Should the housing market and economic conditions in our market area stagnate or continue to deteriorate, it will continue to have a material negative effect on the Company’s business and results of operation.

Current severe drought conditions are expected to reduce the 2012 crop yields in the United States. The repayment of agriculture loans generally is dependent on the successful operation of a farm and can be adversely affected by fluctuations in crop prices, increase in interest rates, and changes in weather conditions such as the current drought conditions.  As a result, our agricultural and farmland loan customers, as well as commercial loan customers whose businesses depend on or are related to agriculture, may be unable to make payments on their loans, which could cause our non-performing loans and charge-offs to increase, and may result in the need for additional provisions for loan losses.  We are currently employing a strategy to expand agricultural and farmland activity, which could magnify the effects of the drought on the performance of these types of loans. Loans for crop production generally require 75% or more crop insurance coverage, which provides protection against loss due to lower crop yields as a result of drought conditions. The Company is currently evaluating the impact these conditions may have on its customers.
 
At June 30, 2012, the Bank was categorized as “well capitalized” under regulatory capital requirements.
 
On June 30, 2012 in accordance with the MOU, the Bank paid the Company a dividend of $577,000 to fund expenses of the Company.
 
The following discussion compares the financial condition of Harvard Illinois Bancorp, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Harvard Savings Bank, at June 30, 2012 to its financial condition at December 31, 2011, and the results of operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2012 to the same periods in 2011.  This discussion should be read in conjunction with the interim financial statements and footnotes included herein.
 
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND USE OF SIGNIFICANT ESTIMATES
 
There are no material changes to the critical accounting policies disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.
 
FINANCIAL CONDITION
 
Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011
 
Total assets at June 30, 2012 increased $1.3 million or 0.8% to $170.5 million from $169.2 million at December 31, 2011.  Total liabilities increased $1.0 million or 0.7% to $151.6 million at June 30, 2012 from $150.6 million at December 31, 2011.  The modest changes in total assets and liabilities were consistent with our strategy to limit growth of our balance sheet in the current economic environment.
 
Cash and cash equivalents decreased $7.9 million to $14.3 million at June 30, 2012 from $22.2 million at December 31, 2011.  Cash and cash equivalents includes securities purchased under agreements to resell which decreased $8.4 million to $10.1 million at June 30, 2012 from $18.5 million at December 31, 2011.  These agreements represent short-term cash investment alternatives that are over-collateralized with collateral that is guaranteed by the “full faith and credit” of the United States government.  Interest-bearing deposits with other financial institutions increased $2.4 million to $8.6 million at June 30, 2012 from $6.2 million at December 31, 2011.  These deposits are certificates of deposit we have placed with other financial institutions with terms from three months to five years and are fully covered by FDIC deposit insurance.  Available-for-sale securities increased $4.3 million to $8.9 million at June 30, 2012 from $4.6 million at December 31, 2011.  This increase was primarily due to purchases of  U.S. government and federal agency debt securities and securities of state and political subdivisions of $4.5 million and $1.9 million, respectively.  Held-to-maturity securities totaled $1.4 million at June 30, 2012, a decrease of $274,000 from $1.7 million at December 31, 2011 as a result of maturities and pay-downs on those securities and no purchases.  The investment in those deposits and securities were based on liquidity and yield considerations.

Loans, net increased $7.0 million to $122.7 million at June 30, 2012 from $115.7 million at December 31, 2011.  During the first six months of 2012, loan originations, advances and purchases were $37.3 million, which were offset by $7.0 million in loans sold, $22.9 million of loan repayments and payoffs, net of $164,000 in charge offs, a net increase in allowance for loan losses of $150,000 and transfers to foreclosed assets of $125,000.  The increase in loans during 2012 was due primarily to increases of $4.7 million, $1.3 million, $519,000 and $1.1 million in the agriculture, purchased indirect automobile, multi-family residential real estate, and commercial and industrial loan portfolios, respectively.  This increase reflects the execution of our strategy to reduce asset duration and loan concentrations by expanding our agriculture, farmland and commercial and industrial lending activity, and reducing the concentration of residential real estate and commercial real estate loans in our portfolio.  These increases were offset primarily by decreases in total one- to four-family loans of $122,000 and home equity lines of credit and other second mortgages of $455,000.  The decrease in our one- to four-family loans during 2012 was primarily due to repayments, early payoffs and $5.1 million in loans sold to Fannie Mae, which generated $83,000 in net gains on loan sales, offset by loan originations of $8.2 million.  Our portfolio of one- to four-family loans serviced for others decreased $369,000 to $63.6  million at June 30, 2012 from $63.9 million at December 31, 2011.
 
All other assets, consisting of premises and equipment, Federal Home Loan Bank stock, foreclosed assets held for sale, accrued interest receivable, deferred income taxes, bank-owned life insurance, mortgage servicing rights and other assets decreased $4.1 million to $14.6 million at June 30, 2012 from $18.7 million at December 31, 2011.  The largest component of other assets was our investment in bank-owned life insurance, which increased $64,000 to $4.3 million at June 30, 2012 from $4.2 million at December 31, 2011.  The largest change was in Federal Home Loan Bank stock, which decreased $3.9 million to $2.7 million at June 30, 2012 from $6.5 million at December 31, 2011; in 2012 the Company redeemed $3.9 million of its excess stock at its carrying amount.  At June 30, 2012, the Company’s deferred tax asset relating to unused capital loss carryovers and unrealized capital losses on other than temporary impairment of equity securities totaled $415,000.  Management has established a valuation allowance for portions of that deferred tax asset of $297,000 at June 30, 2012, a non-recurring decrease of $40,000 over the December 31, 2011 balance of $337,000.  The decrease in the valuation allowance in 2012 was due to the reversal of a previous valuation allowance related to capital losses.  The Company now believes it has capital gains to enable a portion of those capital losses to be utilized prior to expiration.
 
Total deposits decreased $3.3 million to $131.8 million at June 30, 2012 from $135.1 million at December 31, 2011.  Demand deposits increased $332,000 to $5.6 million at June 30, 2012 from $5.2 million at December 31, 2011, primarily due to commercial account growth.  Savings, NOW and money market accounts totaled $49.7 million at June 30, 2012 compared to $49.0 million at December 31, 2011, an increase of $661,000.  Certificates of deposit, including brokered certificates, decreased $4.3 million to $76.6 million at June 30, 2012 from $80.9 million at December 31, 2011.  Certificates of deposit decreased modestly as we continued to follow our pricing discipline in a competitive environment to lower our cost of funds.  Federal Home Loan Bank advances increased $3.9 million to $16.3 million from $12.4 million at June 30, 2012 as the Bank borrowed $5 million in short-term floating-rate advances in June 2012 to maintain sufficient liquidity levels while funding loan growth offset by repayments.  Non-interest bearing liabilities increased $458,000 to $3.5 million at June 30, 2012 from $3.1 million at December 31, 2011.  The largest component of non-interest bearing liabilities is deferred compensation which increased $40,000 in 2012 to $2.3 million at June 30, 2012 from $2.2 million at December 31, 2011.
 
Total stockholders’ equity increased by $298,000 to $19.0 million at June 30, 2012 from $18.7 million at December 31, 2011.  The increase resulted primarily from net income of $236,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012.
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2012 and 2011
 
General. Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was $85,000, compared to $43,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $42,000 or 97.7%.  The increase in net income was due to increases  in net interest income and noninterest income of $161,000 and $14,000, respectively, partially offset by a increases in the provision for loan losses, noninterest expense and the provision for income taxes of $8,000, $108,000 and $17,000, respectively.
 
Interest and Dividend Income. Total interest and dividend income increased $22,000 or 1.2% to $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 from the same period in 2011.  Average interest-earning assets increased $1.0 million to $157.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 from $156.7 million for the same quarter in 2011, and the average yield increased 3 basis points to 4.62% from 4.59%.  The modest increase in yield reflected the impact of an increase in loans, which more than offset lower reinvestment rates and the decreases in yield on those assets during the quarter ended June 30, 2012 compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2011.  Interest and fees on loans increased $62,000 during the period as the average balance of loans increased $10.1 million to $123.9 million primarily due to originations and purchases of loans outpacing repayments and sales of loans, which more than offset the lower average yield on loans, which decreased 27 basis points to 5.56% from 5.83%.  Interest income on securities and other interest-earning assets decreased $40,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the year ago period as average balances decreased $9.1 million, primarily due to stronger loan demand, and the average yield on those assets decreased 12 basis points to 1.17% from 1.29% due to the lower interest rate environment.

Interest Expense.  Total interest expense decreased $139,000 or 24.0% to $441,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 from $580,000 for the same period in 2011.  Interest expense on deposit accounts decreased $121,000 or 25.6% to $352,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 from $473,000 for the same period in 2011.  This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in interest expense on certificates of deposit and brokered certificate accounts of $105,000 during the period while interest expense on savings, NOW and money market accounts decreased $16,000.  The cost of savings, NOW and money market accounts decreased 15 basis points to 0.15%, which more than offset the $3.2 million increase in the average balances of these accounts during the three months ended June 30, 2012 from the three months ended June 30, 2011.  The average balance in certificates of deposits and brokered certificates of deposit decreased $2.8 million, with the cost of these deposits decreasing 47 basis points to 1.72% during the three months ended June 30, 2012 from the three months ended June 30, 2011.  The movement in deposit accounts and reduction in the cost of these funds was the result of our competitive pricing and the declining market interest rates for deposits.
 
Interest expense on Federal Home Loan Bank advances decreased $18,000 to $89,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 from $107,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011.  The average balance of advances decreased $1.6 million while the average cost of this funding decreased 19 basis points for the three months ended June 30, 2012 from the comparable period in 2011.  The decrease in the average balance of advances was due to adhering to our capital and liquidity plans to lessen our reliance on advances.  The decrease in the cost of these funds was a reflection of the lower market interest rate environment in 2012 compared to 2011.
 
Net Interest Income.  Net interest income increased $161,000 or 13.2% to $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 from $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, primarily as a result of an increase in our net interest rate spread of 41 basis points to 3.37% from 2.96%.  The ratio of our average interest-earning assets to average interest-bearing liabilities increased to 112.07% for the three months ended June 30, 2012 from 110.41% for the same period in 2011.  Our net interest margin also increased 39 basis points to 3.50% from 3.11%.  The increases in our net interest rate spread and net interest margin reflected the impact of an increase in average loans, the more rapid repricing of all deposit products at lower rates, and the maturity of higher cost fixed–rate fixed–term Federal Home Loan Bank advances.
 
Provision 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 income.  Loan losses are charged against the allowance when we believe the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed.  Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.
 
We evaluate the allowance for loan losses on a regular basis and the provision is based upon our 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.
 
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 and interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement.  The factors we considered 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.  We determine the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all 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 for commercial loans by either the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loans effective interest rate, the loan’s obtainable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent.
 
Groups of loans with similar loan characteristics, including individually evaluated loans not determined to be impaired, are collectively evaluated for impairment based on the group’s historical loss experience adjusted for changes in trends, conditions and other relevant factors that affect repayment of the loans.  Accordingly, we do not separately identify individual consumer and residential loans for impairment measurements.

Based upon our evaluation of these factors, a provision of $135,000 was recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2012, an increase of $8,000 or 6.3% from $127,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011.  The provision for loan losses reflected net charge offs of $85,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012, compared to $124,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011.  The allowance for loan losses was $2.7 million, or 2.17% of total loans at June 30, 2012, compared to $2.6 million, or 2.18% of total loans at December 31, 2011.  At June 30, 2012, we had identified substandard loans totaling $6.0 million, all of which were considered impaired, and established an allowance for loan losses of $713,000.  At December 31, 2011, we considered all substandard loans totaling $7.4 million impaired and established an allowance for loan losses of $975,000.  We used the same methodology in assessing the allowance for each period.
 
The allowance as a percent of nonperforming loans decreased to 46.21% at June 30, 2012 from 55.94% at June 30, 2011, primarily due to a 72.2% increase in nonperforming loans to $5.9 million at June 30, 2012, compared to $3.4 million at June 30, 2011.  Net charge-offs as a percent of average total loans outstanding decreased to 0.27% for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 from 0.44% for the same quarter in 2011, due to a decrease in net charge-offs of $39,000 to $85,000, and by a $10.1 million increase in average loans outstanding to $123.9 million.
 
To the best of our knowledge, we have recorded all losses that are both probable and reasonably estimable for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
 
The following table sets forth the allowance for loan losses allocated by loan category, the percent of allowance in each loan category to the total allowance, and the percent of loans in each loan category to total loans as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 (dollars in thousands).

The increase in the allowance for loan losses allocated to one-to-four family real estate loans was primarily due to an increase in the required level of reserves for loans individually and collectively evaluated for impairment.  The decrease in the allowance for loan losses allocated to home equity lines of credit and other second mortgage loans was primarily due to a decrease in the balance and required reserves for impaired loans.  The increase in the allowance for loan losses allocated to commercial real estate loans was primarily due to one impaired loan secured by an office building in our market area with a balance of $1.4 million, which required a higher specific reserve of $36,000 and was deemed a troubled debt restructuring in 2012.  The decrease in the allowance for loan losses allocated to construction and land development real estate loans was largely due to an additional charge-off of $55,000 taken on a troubled debt restructuring secured by a residential subdivision in our market area with a balance of $557,000 in 2012.  The increase in the allowance for loan losses allocated to agriculture and purchased indirect automobile loans was primarily due to the increase in the balance of performing loans of $4.7 million and $1.3 million, respectively.

Total non-performing assets, including troubled debt restructurings, decreased $724,000 or 8.4% to $7.9 million at June 30, 2012, compared to $8.6 million at December 31, 2011.  Total non-performing assets, including troubled debt restructurings, to total assets was 4.03% and 5.09% at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.  Troubled debt restructurings included in nonaccrual loans totaled $3.9 million at June 30, 2012, compared to $3.8 million at December 31, 2011.
 
Non-accrual one- to four-family real estate loans totaled $2.5 million at June 30, 2012 and consisted of 23 loans secured by properties located in our market area.  Those loans included 3 loans that totaled $625,000 that are troubled debt restructurings, which resulted in charge-offs of $1,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2012.  Those troubled debt restructurings were all performing according to the terms of the restructuring.  Non-accrual one-to-four family real estate loans at June 30, 2012 included 3 loans totaling $277,000 that were in the process of foreclosure, and resulted in charge-offs of $33,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2012.  We have established impairment allowances of $128,000 on the non-performing one-to-four family real estate loans at June 30, 2012.  There were 2 loans secured by one-to-four family real estate totaling $1.0 million that were modified in troubled debt restructurings in 2011, which were returned to accrual status during the six months ended June 30, 2012, and reclassified as watch loans from substandard loans.
 
Non-accrual home equity lines of credit and other second mortgage loans totaled $125,000 at June 30, 2012 and consisted of 4 loans secured by properties located in our market area.  We have established impairment allowances of $16,000 on the non-performing home equity lines of credit and other second mortgage loans at June 30, 2012.
 
Non-accrual multi-family real estate loans totaled $905,000 at June 30, 2012 and consisted of one loan secured by a senior-assisted living center in our market area that was modified in a troubled debt restructuring in 2011.  That troubled debt restructuring was performing according to the terms of the restructuring at June 30, 2012.  We have established impairment allowances of $233,000 on the non-performing multi-family loan at June 30, 2012.
 
Non-accrual commercial real estate loans totaled $1.4 million at June 30, 2012 and consisted of one loan secured by non-owner occupied property located in our market area.  Although contractually current at June 30, 2012, the loan has not established a stable payment history and was deemed a troubled debt restructuring in 2012.  The anchor tenant of the property is a state agency.  We have established an impairment allowance of $36,000 on the non-performing commercial real estate loan at June 30, 2012.
 
Non-accrual construction and land development loans totaled $970,000 at June 30, 2012 and consisted of two troubled debt restructurings secured by properties located in our market area, both performing according to the terms of the restructuring as of June 30, 2012.  A residential subdivision real estate loan with a balance at June 30, 2012 of $557,000 was refinanced in a troubled debt restructuring in 2011, and resulted in a $55,000 charge-off during the six months ended June 30, 2012.  Only one lot has been sold since the loan was restructured in 2011.  We have established an impairment allowance of $228,000 on that non-performing land development loan at June 30, 2012.  A commercial land development loan secured by property in our market area with a balance at June 30, 2012 of $413,000 was refinanced in a troubled debt restructuring in 2011.  We have established an impairment allowance of $27,000 on that non-performing land development loan at June 30, 2012.
 
Other nonperforming loans totaled $50,000 at June 30, 2012.  No impairment allowances have been established on those loans at June 30, 2012.
 
Other real estate owned totaled $958,000 at June 30, 2012, which consisted of three single-family homes and two commercial real estate properties located in our market area.  The properties are carried at estimated fair value less costs to sell, based upon new appraisals obtained in 2010-2012.  Losses related to write-downs on those properties totaled $157,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2012.  In addition, we had $26,000 of repossessed automobiles at June 30, 2012.

The following table shows the aggregate principal amount of potential problem loans on the Company’s watch list at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.  Substantially all non-accruing loans, troubled debt restructurings and loans past due 60 days or more are placed on the watch list (in thousands).

The $1.3 million net increase in watch list loans during the six months ended June 30, 2012 is primarily due to loans secured by one-to-four family real estate that were previously classified as substandard that were reclassified as watch loans and returned to accrual status during the six months ended June 30, 2012, after consideration of the borrowers’ sustained repayment performance.
 
Noninterest Income.  Noninterest income increased $14,000 or 11.9% to $132,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 from $118,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011.  The increase in noninterest income was primarily due to an increase in loan servicing fees of $5,000 and a decrease in net losses on loan sales of $11,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012, compared to the same period in 2011.  Losses on loan sales included the net decrease in fair value of mortgage servicing rights of $47,000 and $53,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, those decreases were primarily due to the significant increase in prepayment speeds for the servicing portfolio during the second quarter of 2012 and 2011.  Net realized gains of $22,000 and $17,000 were recognized on loans sold of $1.3 million and $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
 
Noninterest Expense.  Noninterest expense increased $108,000 or 9.3% to $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 from $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011.  Increases in compensation and benefits, professional fees, office supplies, indirect automobile loan servicing fee, foreclosed assets net, and other expense in 2012 compared to 2011 of $18,000, $84,000, $3,000, $10,000, $8,000 and $47,000, respectively, were partially offset by decreases in occupancy, data processing, marketing, and federal deposit insurance of $9,000, $32,000, $4,000 and $17,000, respectively.  The increase in compensation and benefits in 2012 was primarily due to higher benefit costs, including the impact of the 2011 Equity Incentive Plan approved in the second quarter of 2011 and the subsequent grants of options and restricted stock under the Plan.  The increases in professional fees and other expense in 2012 were primarily due to fees incurred to support the Board of Directors’ nominees for Director in a contested election occurring at the May 24, 2012 annual meeting of stockholders.  The increase in indirect automobile loan servicing fee in 2012 is primarily due to the higher average balance of loans serviced in that period.  The increase in foreclosed assets, net, was due primarily to higher losses and write-downs on foreclosed assets held for sale of $51,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012, compared to $36,000 for the same period in 2011.  The decrease in data processing expense in 2012 was due primarily to lower costs associated with the long-term contract renewal with our data center in 2012.  The decrease in FDIC insurance premiums in 2012 was due to a reduced fee structure.
 
Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes.  The provision for income taxes was $22,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $5,000 for the same period in 2011, an increase of $17,000.  The higher income tax expense for the second quarter of 2012 reflects an increase of $59,000 in pre-tax income, compared to 2012.  The effective tax expense as a percent of pre-tax income was 20.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2012, compared to an effective tax expense as a percent of pre-tax income of 10.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2011.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2012 and 2011
 
General.  Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $236,000, compared to net income of $99,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011, an increase of $137,000 or 138.4%.  The increase in net income was due to increases in net interest income and noninterest income of $332,000 and $57,000, respectively, and a decrease in the provision for income taxes of $9,000, partially offset by increases in the provision for loan losses and noninterest expense of $12,000 and $249,000, respectively.
 
Interest and Dividend Income.  Total interest and dividend income increased $46,000 or 1.3% to $3.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 from $3.6 million for the same period in 2011.  Average interest-earning assets increased $2.2 million to $158.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 from $156.2 million for the same period in 2011, and the average yield was unchanged at 4.62%.  The increase in total interest and dividend income was primarily due to the increase in average interest-earning assets and an increase in loan balance in 2012, which more than offset a decline in the interest rate environment for nearly all asset categories.  Interest and fees on loans increased $88,000 for the first half of 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 as the average balance of loans increased $7.5 million to $122.0 million primarily due to originations and purchases of loans outpacing repayments and sales of loans, offset partially by the average yield on loans which decreased 21 basis points to 5.65% from 5.86%.  Interest income on securities and other interest-earning assets decreased $42,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the year ago period as the average yield on those assets decreased 6 basis points to 1.16% from 1.22% due to the lower interest rate environment, and the average balances of those assets decreased $5.3 million due to stronger loan demand.
 
Interest Expense.  Total interest expense decreased $286,000 or 23.9% to $911,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 from $1.2 million for the same period in 2011.  Interest expense on deposit accounts decreased $238,000 or 24.5% to $733,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 from $971,000 for the same period in 2011.  This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in interest expense on certificates of deposit and brokered certificate accounts of $204,000, while interest expense on savings, NOW and money market accounts decreased $34,000 during the period.  The average balance in certificates of deposits and brokered certificates of deposit decreased $1.5 million, with the cost of these deposits decreasing 48 basis points to 1.77% for the six months ended June 30, 2012 from 2.25% for the same period in 2011.  The average balances of savings, NOW and money market accounts increased $2.6 million while the cost of these deposits decreased 15 basis points to 0.16% during the six months ended June 30, 2012 from the 0.31% for the six months ended June 30, 2011.  The movement in deposit accounts and reduction in the cost of these funds was the result of our competitive pricing and promotional events pricing, and the declining market interest rates for deposits.
 
Interest expense on Federal Home Loan Bank advances decreased $48,000 to $178,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 from $226,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011.  The average balance of advances decreased $1.2 million while the average cost of this funding decreased 46 basis points to 2.85% for the six months ended June 30, 2012 from 3.31% for the comparable period in 2011.  The decrease in the average balance of advances was due to adhering to our capital and liquidity plans to lessen our reliance on advances.  The decrease in the cost of these funds was a reflection of the lower market interest rate environment in 2012 compared to 2011.
 
Net Interest Income.  Net interest income increased $332,000 or 13.8% to $2.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 from $2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, primarily as a result of an increase in our net interest rate spread of 41 basis points to 3.34% from 2.93%.  The ratio of our average interest-earning assets to average interest-bearing liabilities increased to 111.59% for the six months ended June 30, 2012 from 110.00% for the same period in 2011.  Our net interest margin also increased 37 basis points to 3.46% from 3.09%.  The increases in our net interest rate spread and net interest margin reflected the impact of an increase in average loans and the more rapid repricing of all deposit products at lower rates.

A provision of $308,000 was recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2012, an increase of $12,000 or 4.1% from $296,000 for the same period in 2011.  The provision for loan losses reflected net charge offs of $158,000 or 0.26% of average total loans for the first half of 2012, compared to $253,000 or 0.44% of average total loans for the first half of 2011.  Substandard loans decreased $1.5 million to $6.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2012, while the related specific loss allowances for those loans decreased $262,000 to $713,000.  Substandard loans increased $191,000 to $3.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2011, while the related specific loss allowances for those loans decreased $192,000 to $385,000.  The larger provision in 2012 was impacted by the $7.2 million growth in total loans, primarily agricultural loans, during the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the $1.2 million increase in total loans during the same period in 2011.  We used the same methodology in assessing the allowance for each period.
 
To the best of our knowledge, we have recorded all losses that are both probable and reasonably estimable for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
 
The allowance as a percent of nonperforming loans decreased to 46.21% at June 30, 2012 from 55.94% at June 30, 2011.  Nonperforming loans increased to $5.9 million at June 30, 2012, compared to $3.4 million at June 30, 2011, an increase of $2.5 million or 72.2%.
 
Noninterest Income.  Noninterest income increased $57,000 or 16.0% to $413,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 from $356,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2011.  The increase was primarily related to net gains on loan sales which increased $44,000 to $91,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to $47,000 for the same period in 2011.  Loans sold during the six months ended June 30, 2012 totaled $7.0 million, compared to $2.9 million during the same period in 2011.  Gains on loan sales included the net increase in fair value of mortgage servicing rights of $8,000 and $12,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
 
Noninterest Expense.  Noninterest expense increased $249,000 or 10.6% to $2.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 from $2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011.  Increases in compensation and benefits, professional fees,  indirect automobile loan servicing fee, foreclosed assets net, and other expense in 2012 compared to 2011 of $88,000, $162,000, $13,000, $41,000, and $64,000, respectively, were partially offset by decreases in occupancy, data processing, marketing, office supplies and federal deposit insurance of $25,000, $55,000, $7,000, $1,000 and $31,000, respectively.  The increase in compensation and benefits in 2012 was primarily due to higher benefit costs, including the impact of the 2011 Equity Incentive Plan approved in the second quarter of 2011 and the subsequent grants of options and restricted stock under the Plan.  The increases in professional fees and other expense in 2012 were primarily due to fees incurred to support the Board of Directors’ nominees for Director in a contested election occurring at the May 24, 2012 annual meeting of stockholders.  The increase in indirect automobile loan servicing fee in 2012 is primarily due to the higher average balance of loans serviced in that period.  The increase in foreclosed assets, net, was due primarily to higher losses and write-downs on foreclosed assets held for sale of $171,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to $96,000 for the same period in 2011.  The decrease in data processing expense in 2012 was due primarily to lower costs associated with the long-term contract renewal with our data center in 2012.  The decrease in FDIC insurance premiums in 2012 was due to a reduced fee structure.
 
Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes.  The provision for income taxes decreased $9,000 to $5,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $14,000 for the same period in 2011.  The effective tax expense as a percent of pre-tax income was 2.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to the effective tax expense as a percent of pre-tax income of 12.4% for the same period in 2011.  The smaller provision for income taxes in 2012 reflects the impact of a $40,000 non-recurring decrease in valuation allowances recorded for deferred tax assets related to capital losses on equity securities, offset partially by a higher level of pre-tax income as compared to 2011.  The Company believes it has capital gains to enable a portion of those capital losses to be utilized prior to expiration.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Our primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest payments on loans and securities, proceeds from maturities and calls of securities, and Federal Home Loan Bank advances.  While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions, and competition.  Our most liquid assets are cash and short-term investments including securities repurchase agreements.  The levels of these assets are dependent on our operating, financing, lending, and investing activities during any given period.
 
Our cash flows are comprised of three primary classifications: cash flows from operating activities, investing activities, and financing activities.  Net cash provided by operating activities were $1.3 million and $979,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  Net cash used in investing activities consisted primarily of disbursements for loan originations and the purchase of securities and interest-bearing deposits, offset by net cash provided by principal collections on loans, and proceeds from maturing securities and interest-bearing deposits and pay downs on mortgage-backed securities.  For the six months ended June 30, 2012, net cash provided by investing activities included $3.9 million of proceeds from the redemption of Federal Home Loan Bank stock.  Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities were $(9.9) million and $960,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities consisted primarily of the activity in deposit accounts and Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings.  The net cash provided by (used in) financing activities was $611,000 and $(861,000) for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
 
The Bank is required to maintain regulatory capital requirements imposed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.  The Bank’s actual ratios at June 30, 2012 and the required minimums to be considered adequately capitalized are shown in the table below.  In order to be considered well-capitalized, the Bank must maintain: (i) Tier 1 Capital to Average Assets of 5.0%, (ii) Tier 1 Capital to Risk-Weighted Assets of 6.0%, and (iii) Total Capital to Risk-Weighted Assets of 10.0%.  Accordingly, Harvard Savings Bank was categorized as well capitalized at June 30, 2012.  The Bank’s actual ratios at June 30, 2012 were lower than at December 31, 2011 due primarily to a dividend paid by the Bank to the Company of $577,000 on June 30, 2012.  Management is not aware of any conditions or events since the most recent notification that would change our category.

The Company must also maintain adequate levels of liquidity to ensure the availability of funds to satisfy loan commitments.  The Company anticipates that it will have sufficient funds available to meet its current commitments principally through the use of current liquid assets and through its borrowing capacity discussed above.  The following table summarizes these commitments at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 (in thousands).

Certificates of deposit that are scheduled to mature in less than one year from June 30, 2012 totaled $27.5 million.  Management expects that a substantial portion of the maturing certificates of deposit will be renewed.  However, if a substantial portion of these deposits is not retained, we may utilize Federal Home Loan Bank advances or raise interest rates on deposits to attract new accounts, which may result in higher levels of interest expense.
