LSB FINANCIAL CORP.
Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements
September 30, 2011
 
Note 1 – General
 
The financial statements were prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all of the disclosures necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  These interim financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with the annual financial statements and include, in the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations and financial position for and at the end of such interim periods.  The consolidated condensed balance sheet of LSB Financial Corp. as of December 31, 2010 has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet of LSB Financial Corp. as of that date.
 
Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted.  These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K annual report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The results of operations for the periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

 
Note 2 – Principles of Consolidation
 
The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of LSB Financial Corp., its wholly owned subsidiary Lafayette Savings Bank, FSB (“Lafayette Savings”), and Lafayette Savings’ wholly owned subsidiaries, LSB Service Corporation and Lafayette Insurance and Investments, Inc.  All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Note 3 – Earnings per share
 
Earnings per share are based upon the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings per share further assume the issuance of any potentially dilutive shares. For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010, 3,750 shares related to stock options outstanding were dilutive and 33,035 were antidilutive.  For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2011, 3,000 shares related to stock options outstanding were dilutive and 25,208 were antidilutive.  The following table presents information about the number of shares used to compute earnings per share and the results of the computations:

Note 5 - Loans and Allowance for Loan Losses
 
The allowance for loan losses represents management’s estimate of probable losses inherent in Lafayette Savings’ loan portfolios. In determining the appropriate amount of the allowance for loan losses, management makes numerous assumptions, estimates and assessments.
 
The strategy also emphasizes diversification on an industry and customer level, regular credit quality reviews and quarterly management reviews of large credit exposures and loans experiencing deterioration of credit quality.
 
Lafayette Savings’ allowance consists of three components: probable losses estimated from individual reviews of specific loans, probable losses estimated from historical loss rates, and probable losses resulting from economic or other deterioration above and beyond what is reflected in the first two components of the allowance.
 
Larger commercial loans that exhibit probable or observed credit weaknesses and all loans that are rated substandard or lower are subject to individual review. Where appropriate, reserves are allocated to individual loans based on management’s estimate of the borrower’s ability to repay the loan given the availability of collateral, other sources of cash flow and legal options available to the Bank. Included in the review of individual loans are those that are impaired as provided in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC 310-10 (formerly FAS 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan). Any allowances for impaired loans are determined by the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or fair value of the underlying collateral based on the discounted appraised value.   Historical loss rates are applied to other commercial loans not subject to specific reserve allocations.
 
Homogenous smaller balance loans, such as consumer installment and mortgage loans secured by various property types are not individually risk graded. Reserves are established for each pool of loans based on the expected net charge-offs. Loss rates are based on the average net charge-off history by loan category.
 
Historical loss rates for commercial and consumer loans may be adjusted for significant factors that, in management’s judgment, reflect the impact of any current conditions on loss recognition.  Factors which management considers in the analysis include the effects of the national and local economies, trends in the nature and volume of loans (delinquencies, charge-offs and nonaccrual loans), changes in mix, asset quality trends, risk management and loan administration, changes in the internal lending policies and credit standards, collection practices, examination results from bank regulatory agencies and Lafayette Savings’ internal loan review.
 
Allowances on individual loans are reviewed quarterly and historical loss rates are reviewed annually and adjusted as necessary based on changing borrower and/or collateral conditions and actual collection and charge-off experience.
 
Lafayette Savings’ primary market area for lending is Tippecanoe County, Indiana and to a lesser extent the eight surrounding counties. When evaluating the adequacy of the allowance, consideration is given to this regional geographic concentration and the closely associated effect of changing economic conditions on Lafayette Savings’ customers.

The risk characteristics of each loan portfolio segment are as follows:
 
Commercial
 
Commercial loans are primarily based on the identified cash flows of the borrower and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided by the borrower. The cash flows of borrowers, however, may not be as expected and the collateral securing these loans may fluctuate in value. Most commercial loans are secured by the assets being financed or other business assets such as accounts receivable or inventory and may incorporate a personal guarantee; however, some short-term loans may be made on an unsecured basis. In the case of loans secured by accounts receivable, the availability of funds for the repayment of these loans may be substantially dependent on the ability of the borrower to collect amounts due from its customers.

 
9

 
 
Commercial real estate
 
These loans are viewed primarily as cash flow loans and secondarily as loans secured by real estate. Commercial real estate lending typically involves higher loan principal amounts and the repayment of these loans is generally dependent on the successful operation of the property securing the loan or the business conducted on the property securing the loan. Commercial real estate loans may be more adversely affected by conditions in the real estate markets or in the general economy. The properties securing the Company’s commercial real estate portfolio are diverse in terms of type and geographic location. Management monitors and evaluates commercial real estate loans based on collateral, geography and risk grade criteria. As a general rule, the Company avoids financing single purpose projects unless other underwriting factors are present to help mitigate risk. In addition, management tracks the level of owner-occupied commercial real estate loans versus non-owner occupied loans.
 
Construction
 
Construction loans are underwritten utilizing feasibility studies, independent appraisal reviews, sensitivity analysis of absorption and lease rates and financial analysis of the developers and property owners. Construction loans are generally based on estimates of costs and value associated with the complete project. These estimates may be inaccurate. Construction loans often involve the disbursement of substantial funds with repayment substantially dependent on the success of the ultimate project. Sources of repayment for these types of loans may be pre-committed permanent loans from approved long-term lenders, sales of developed property or an interim loan commitment from the Company until permanent financing is obtained. These loans are closely monitored by on-site inspections and are considered to have higher risks than other real estate loans due to their ultimate repayment being sensitive to interest rate changes, governmental regulation of real property, general economic conditions and the availability of long-term financing.
 
Residential and Consumer
 
With respect to residential loans that are secured by one- to four-family residences and are generally owner occupied, the Company generally establishes a maximum loan-to-value ratio and requires private mortgage insurance if that ratio is exceeded. Home equity loans are typically secured by a subordinate interest in one- to four-family residences, and consumer loans are secured by consumer assets such as automobiles or recreational vehicles. Some consumer loans are unsecured such as small installment loans and certain lines of credit. Repayment of these loans is primarily dependent on the personal income of the borrowers, which can be impacted by economic conditions in their market areas such as unemployment levels. Repayment can also be impacted by changes in property values on residential properties. Risk is mitigated by the fact that the loans are of smaller individual amounts and spread over a large number of borrowers.

Management’s general practice is to charge down collateral dependent loans individually evaluated for impairment to the fair value of the underlying collateral.
 
Consistent with regulatory guidance, charge-offs on all loan segments are taken when specific loans, or portions thereof, are considered uncollectible. The Company’s policy is to promptly charge these loans off in the period the uncollectible loss is reasonably determined.

 
11

 
 
For all loan portfolio segments except one- to four-family residential properties and consumer, the Company promptly charges-off loans, or portions thereof, when available information confirms that specific loans are uncollectible based on information that includes, but is not limited to, (1) the deteriorating financial condition of the borrower, (2) declining collateral values, and/or (3) legal action, including bankruptcy, that impairs the borrower’s ability to adequately meet its obligations. For impaired loans that are considered to be solely collateral dependent, a partial charge-off is recorded when a loss has been confirmed by an updated appraisal or other appropriate valuation of the collateral.
 
The Company charges-off one- to four-family residential and consumer loans, or portions thereof, when the Company reasonably determines the amount of the loss. The Company adheres to timeframes established by applicable regulatory guidance which provides for the charge-down of one- to four-family first and junior lien mortgages to the net realizable value less costs to sell when the loan is 180 days past due, charge-off of unsecured open-end loans when the loan is 180 days past due, and charge-down to the net realizable value when other secured loans are 180 days past due. Loans at these respective delinquency thresholds for which the Company can clearly document that the loan is both well-secured and in the process of collection, such that collection will occur regardless of delinquency status, need not be charged off.   Charge-offs may be taken sooner than the above-referenced timeframes if circumstances warrant.
 
The entire balance of a loan is considered delinquent if the minimum payment contractually required to be made is not received by the specified due date.
 
The historical loss experience is determined by portfolio segment and is based on the actual loss history experienced by the Company over the prior four years.  Management believes the four year historical loss experience methodology is appropriate in the current economic environment, as it captures loss rates that are comparable to the current period being analyzed.
 
We rate all loans by credit quality using the following designations:
 
GRADE 1 - Pass, superior credit quality
 
Loans of the highest quality.  Financial strength of the borrower (exhibited by extremely low debt-to-income ratios/high debt-service coverage, low loan-to-value ratio, and clean credit history) is such that no loss is anticipated.  Probability of serious or rapid deterioration is extremely small.
 
GRADE 2 - Pass, good credit quality
 
Loans of good quality.  Overall above average credit, with strong capacity to repay (exhibited by higher debt-to-income ratios/lower debt-service coverage than Grade 1, but still better than average levels), sound credit history and employment.  Loan-to-value is not as strong as Grade 1, but is greater than Grade 3.  Minor loss exposure with the probability of serious financial deterioration unlikely.
 
GRADE 3 - Pass, low risk
 
Loans of satisfactory quality.  Average quality due to average capacity to repay (exhibited by higher debt-to-income ratios/lower debt-service coverage than Grade 2 but better than levels requiring Loan Committee approval), employment, credit history, loan-to-value ratio, or paying habits.  Deterioration possible if adverse factors occur.
 

 
12

 

GRADE 4 - Pass, acceptable risk
 
Loans of marginal, but acceptable quality due to below average capacity to repay (exhibited by high debt-to-income ratios/low debt-service coverage), high loan-to-value, or poor paying habits. Deterioration likely if adverse factors occur.
 
GRADE W-4 - Pass, watch list credit
 
These loans have the same characteristics as standard Grade 4 loans, with an added significant weakness such as the global debt-service coverage of the borrower being below 1.00. Such loans should have no delinquencies within the previous 12 months.
 
GRADE 5- Special Mention
 
Loans in this classification are in a state of change that could adversely affect paying ability, collateral value or which require monthly monitoring to protect the asset value.
 
GRADE 6- Substandard
 
A substandard asset with a defined weakness.  Heavy debt condition, deterioration of collateral, poor paying habits, or conditions present that unless deficiencies are corrected will result in some loss. Loans 90 or more days past due should be automatically included in this grade.
 
GRADE 7- Doubtful
 
Poor quality.  Loans in this group are characterized by less than adequate collateral and all of the characteristics of a loan classified as substandard.  The possibility of a loss is extremely high, but factors may be underway to minimize the loss or maximize the recovery.
 
GRADE 8 - Loss
 
Loans classified loss are considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as an asset is not warranted.
 
Interest income on loans individually classified as impaired is recognized on a cash basis after all past due and current principal payments have been made.
 
Subsequent payments on non-accrual loans are recorded as a reduction of principal, and interest income is recorded only after principal recovery is reasonably assured.  Nonaccrual loans are returned to accrual status when, in the opinion of management, the financial position of the borrower indicates there is no longer any reasonable doubt as to the timely collection of interest or principal. The Company requires a period of satisfactory performance of not less than six months before returning a nonaccrual loan to accrual status.

All loans rated substandard are considered impaired.  A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect all amounts due (both principal and interest) according to contractual terms of the loan agreement.   Loans that are considered impaired are reviewed to determine if a specific allowance is required based on the borrower’s financial condition, resources and payment record, support from guarantors and the realizable value of any collateral.  As a practical expedient the Bank will typically use the collateral fair market value method to determine impairments unless circumstances preclude its use.  In this method, any portion of the investment above the current fair market value of the collateral should be identified as an impairment. Fair market value is determined using a current appraisal or evaluation in compliance with federal appraisal regulations.

Loans are placed on non-accrual status when, in the judgment of management, the probability of collection of interest is deemed to be insufficient to warrant further accrual.  All interest accrued, but not received for loans placed on non-accrual, is reversed against interest income.  Interest subsequently received on such loans is accounted for by using the cost-recovery basis for commercial loans and the cash-basis for retail loans until qualifying for return to accrual status.
 
At December 31, 2010 there were $676 accruing loans delinquent 90 days or more.  There were no accruing loans over 90 days delinquent at September 30, 2011.  Non-accruing loans at December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2011 were $17,370 and $14,885, respectively.
 
Loans to related parties at December 31, 2010 totaling $2,456 were reduced by paydowns of $349 and increased by new debt of $770 resulting in loans to related parties at September 30, 2011 totaling $2,877.

As a result of adopting the amendments in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-02 (the “ASU”), the Company reassessed all restructurings that occurred on or after the beginning of its current fiscal year (January 1, 2011) for identification as troubled debt restructurings.  The Company identified as troubled debt restructurings certain receivables for which the allowance for credit losses had previously been measured under a general allowance for credit losses methodology.  Upon identifying those receivables as troubled debt restructurings, the Company identified them as impaired under the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 310-10-35.  The ASU requires prospective application of the impairment measurement guidance in ASC 310-10-35 for those receivables newly identified as impaired.  At the end of the first interim period of adoption (September 30, 2011), the recorded investment in receivables for which the allowance for credit losses was previously measured under a general allowance for credit losses methodology and are now impaired under ASC 310-10-35 was $1.6 million and the allowance for credit losses associated with those receivables, on the basis of a current evaluation of loss, was $98,000.  The restructuring was done in 2010.

Note 7 - Disclosures About Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities
 
FASB ASC 820-10 defines fair value as 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.  FASB ASC 820-10 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.  The standard describes 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
 
Following is a description of the inputs and valuation methodologies 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.  Third-party vendors compile prices from various sources and may apply such techniques as matrix pricing to determine the value of identical or similar investment securities (Level 2).  Matrix pricing is a mathematical technique widely used in the banking industry to value investment securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for specific investment securities but rather relying on the investment securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted investment securities.
 
 
Available-for-sale Securities
 
Where quoted market prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy.  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.  Level 2 securities include U.S. government agencies, mortgage-backed securities and state and political subdivisions.   In certain cases where Level 1 or Level 2 inputs are not available, securities are classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy.

Following is a description of the inputs and valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis and recognized in the accompanying balance sheets, as well as the general classification of such assets pursuant to the valuation hierarchy.
 
 
Impaired Loans (Collateral Dependent)
 
Loans for which it is probable that the Company will not collect all principal and interest due according to contractual terms are measured for impairment in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 310-10 (formerly FAS 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan).  Allowable methods for estimating fair value include using the fair value of the collateral for collateral dependent loans.

 
22

 
 
If the impaired loan is identified as collateral dependent, then the fair value method of measuring the amount of impairment is utilized.  This method requires obtaining a current independent appraisal of the collateral and applying a discount factor to the value.
 
Impaired loans are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
 
The following table presents the fair value measurement of assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and the level within the FASB ASC 820-10 fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements fall at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010:

The following methods were used to estimate the fair value of all other financial instruments recognized in the accompanying balance sheets at amounts other than fair value.
 
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Loans Held for Sale, Federal Home Loan Bank Stock, Interest Receivable and Interest Payable
 
The carrying amount approximates fair value.
 
 
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 approximates fair value.  The fair value of fixed-rate 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.

 
23

 

 
Commitments to Originate Loans, Forward Sale Commitments, 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 value of forward sale commitments is estimated based on current market prices for loans of similar terms and credit quality.  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.  The fair value of commitments was not material at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.
 
The following table presents estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments in accordance with FASB ASC 825 (formerly FAS 107) at September 30, 2011 and at December 31, 2010.

In July 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-20, Receivables (Topic 310): Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses.  ASU 2010-20 requires that more information be disclosed about the credit quality of a company’s loans and the allowance for loan losses held against those loans.  A company will need to disaggregate new and existing disclosures based on how it develops its allowance for loan losses and how it manages credit exposures.  Existing disclosures to be presented on a disaggregated basis include a roll-forward of the allowance for loan losses, the related recorded investment in such loans, the nonaccrual status of loans, and impaired loans.  Additional disclosure is also required about the credit quality indicators of loans by class at the end of the reporting period, the aging of the past due loans, information about troubled debt restructurings, and significant purchases and sales of loans during the reporting period by class.  For public companies, ASU 2010-20 requires certain disclosures as of the end of a reporting period effective for periods ending on or after December 15, 2010.  Other required disclosures about activity that occurs during a reporting period are effective for periods beginning on or after June 15, 2011.  The Company adopted the standard as required and disclosures are included with this Form 10-Q.

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820):  Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements.  ASU 2010-06 revises two disclosure requirements concerning fair value measurements and clarifies two others.  It requires separate presentation of significant transfers into and out of Levels 1 and 2 of the fair value hierarchy and disclosure of the reasons for such transfers.  It also requires the presentation of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements within Level 3 on a gross basis rather than a net basis.  The amendments also clarify that disclosures should be disaggregated by class of asset or liability and that disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques should be provided for both recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements.  The Company’s disclosures about fair value measurements are presented in Note 7: Disclosures About Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities.  Those new disclosure requirements were effective for the period ended March 31, 2010, except for the requirement concerning gross presentation of Level 3 activity, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010.  There was no significant effect on the Company’s financial statement disclosure upon adoption of this ASU.
 
In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-02, Receivables (Topic 310):  A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring.  ASU 2011-02 clarifies the guidance in ASC 310-40 Receivables:  Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors.  Creditors are required to identify a restructuring as a troubled debt restructuring if the restructuring constitutes a concession and the debtor is experiencing financial difficulties.  ASU 2011-02 clarifies guidance on whether a creditor has granted a concession and clarifies the guidance on a creditor’s evaluation of whether a debtor is experiencing financial difficulties.  In addition, ASU 2011-02 also precludes the creditor from using the effective interest rate test in the debtor’s guidance on restructuring of payables when evaluating whether a restructuring constitutes a troubled debt restructuring.  The effective date of ASU 2011-02 for public entities is effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011, and should be applied retrospectively to the beginning of the annual period of adoption.  If, as a result of adoption, an entity identifies newly impaired receivables, an entity should apply the amendments for purposes of measuring impairment prospectively for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011.  The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
 
In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-03: Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements.  The amendments in this ASU remove from the assessment of effective control the criterion relating to the transferor’s ability to repurchase or redeem financial assets on substantially the agreed terms, even in the event of default by the transferee.  The amendments in this ASU also eliminate the requirement to demonstrate that the transferor possesses adequate collateral to fund substantially all the cost of purchasing replacement financial assets.  The guidance in this ASU is effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after December 15, 2011.  The guidance should be applied prospectively to transactions or modifications of existing transactions that occur on or after the effective date.  Early adoption is not permitted.  The Company will adopt the methodologies prescribed by the ASU by the date required, and does not anticipate that the ASU will have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.

 
25

 
 
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04: Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.  The amendments in this ASU generally represent clarifications of Topic 820, but also include some instances where a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or disclosing information about fair value measurements has changed.  This ASU results in common principles and requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with U.S. GAAP and IFRSs.  The amendments in this ASU are to be applied prospectively.  For public entities, the amendments are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011.  Early application by public entities is not permitted.  The Company will adopt the methodologies prescribed by the ASU by the date required, and does not anticipate that the ASU will have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.
 
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05: Amendments to Topic 220, Comprehensive Income.  Under the amendments in this ASU, an entity has the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income 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.  This ASU eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity.  The amendments in this ASU do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income.  The amendments in this ASU should be applied retrospectively.  For public entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011.  Early adoption is permitted, because compliance with the amendments is already permitted.  The amendments do not require any transition disclosures.  Due to the recency of this pronouncement, the Company is evaluating its timing of adoption of ASU 2011-05, but will adopt the ASU retrospectively by the due date.
 

 
Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
Executive Summary
 
LSB Financial Corp., an Indiana corporation (“LSB Financial” or the “Company”), is the holding company of Lafayette Savings Bank, FSB (“Lafayette Savings” or the “Bank”). LSB Financial has no separate operations and its business consists only of the business of Lafayette Savings. References in this Quarterly Report to “we,” “us” and “our” refer to LSB Financial and/or Lafayette Savings as the context requires.
 
Lafayette Savings is, and intends to continue to be, an independent, community-oriented financial institution. The Bank has been in business for 141 years and differs from many of our competitors in having a local board and local decision-making in all areas of business. In general, our business consists of attracting or acquiring deposits and lending that money out primarily as real estate loans to construct and purchase single-family residential properties, multi-family and commercial properties and to fund land development projects. We also make a limited number of commercial business and consumer loans.

 
26

 
 
We have an experienced and committed staff and enjoy a good reputation for serving the people of the community, for understanding their financial needs and for finding a way to meet those needs. We contribute time and money to improve the quality of life in our market area and many of our employees volunteer for local non-profit agencies. We believe this sets us apart from the other 19 banks and credit unions that compete with us. We also believe that operating independently under the same name for over 141 years is a benefit to us—especially as local offices of large banks often have less local authority as their companies strive to consolidate. Focusing time and resources on acquiring customers who may be feeling disenfranchised by their no-longer-local or very large bank has proved to be a successful strategy.
 
In these extraordinary economic times, we find ourselves in a community that to some extent has been sheltered from the worst effects of the slowdown. The Greater Lafayette area enjoys diverse employment including major manufacturers such as Subaru/Toyota, Caterpillar, and Wabash National; a strong education sector with Purdue University and a large local campus of Ivy Tech Community College; government offices of Lafayette, West Lafayette and Tippecanoe County; a growing high-tech presence with the Purdue Research Park; and the growth of a new medical corridor spurred by the building of two new hospitals.  The area’s diversity did not make us immune to the effects of the recession, but we were spared its worst effects.   Current signs of recovery, based on a report from Greater Lafayette Commerce, include increasing manufacturing employment, a continuing commitment to new facilities and renovations at Purdue University and signs of renewed activity in residential development projects.  There were capital investments of $305 million in the Greater Lafayette area for the first four months of 2011 compared to $640 million in all of 2010.  Wabash National, the area’s second largest industrial employer, is hiring 400 to 500 people for increased trailer production and will add a new line for production of bulk liquid storage containers which will employ another 200.   Subaru, the area’s largest industrial employer and producer of the Subaru Legacy, Outback and Tribeca, announced the addition of 100 full-time production positions.  Nanshan America will be opening a plant in Lafayette in 2011 employing 200 people.  Growth in the medical corridor has continued with numerous clinics and specialized care facilities under way which along with the two new hospitals makes Greater Lafayette a regional healthcare hub.  In the education sector, Purdue’s West Lafayette 2011-2012 enrollment is just under 40,000, down just slightly from last year and Ivy Tech’s 2011 enrollment is expected to exceed last year’s record level of 8,200 students.  The Purdue Research Park now includes 110 high-tech and life science businesses, has more than 3,700 employees earning an average annual wage of $54,000 and has about 364,000 square feet of incubation space, making it the largest business incubator complex in the state.  The Tippecanoe County unemployment rate peaked at 10.6% in July 2009 and by April 2011 had improved to 6.3%.  The rate climbed to 8.1% in July, an expected rise typically caused by teachers’ summer layoffs, and by September had dropped back to 7.3%.
 
The housing market has remained fairly stable for the last several years with no price bubble and no resulting price swings.  Because of earlier overbuilding in the county as well as the increase in available properties due to foreclosure, residential building activity has remained moderate with 296 single-family building permits issued in the first three quarters of 2011 compared to 381 in all of 2010.  While there are several new residential developments planned, they are primarily student housing related projects.
 
We continue to work with borrowers who have fallen behind on their loans. The majority of our delinquent loans are secured by real estate and we believe we have sufficient reserves to cover incurred losses. The challenge is to get delinquent borrowers back on a workable payment schedule or if that is not feasible, to get control of their properties through an overburdened court system.

 
27

 
 
The funds we use to make loans come primarily from deposits from customers in our market area, from brokered deposits and from Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) advances. In addition, we maintain an investment portfolio of available-for-sale securities to provide liquidity as needed. Our preference is to rely on local deposits unless the cost is not competitive, but if the need is immediate we will acquire pre-payable FHLB advances which are immediately available for member banks within their borrowing tolerance and can then be replaced with local or brokered deposits as they become available. We will also consider purchasing fixed term FHLB advances or brokered deposits as needed. We generally prefer brokered deposits over FHLB advances when the cost of raising money locally is not competitive. The deposits are available with a range of terms, there is no collateral requirement and the money is predictable as it cannot be withdrawn early except in the case of the death of a depositor and there is no option to have the money rollover at maturity. We saw a decrease in deposits in the first nine months of 2011, primarily in time accounts as depositors are unwilling to commit deposits for an extended period at the very low market rates, and prefer to move their deposits to money market or transaction or savings accounts.  Because of a limited demand for loans we are not aggressively pursuing deposits.  While we always welcome local deposits, the cost and convenience of brokered funds make them a useful alternative. We will also continue to rely on FHLB advances to provide immediate liquidity and help manage interest rate risk.
 
Our primary source of income is net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income earned on our loan and investment portfolio and the interest expense incurred on deposits and borrowings. Our net interest income depends on the balance of our loan and investment portfolios and the size of our net interest margin – the difference between the income generated from loans and the cost of funding. Our net interest income also depends on the shape of the yield curve.  The Federal Reserve has held short-term rates at almost zero for the last two years and has announced its intention of keeping short-term rates low through 2013 as well as taking steps to keep longer term rates low to encourage activity in the housing market.  Because deposits are generally tied to shorter-term market rates and loans are generally tied to longer-term rates this strategy could be expected to eventually cause our margins to shrink. Our expectation for the rest of 2011 is that deposit rates will gradually decrease as higher rate deposits mature and are replaced with lower rate items.  Overall loan rates are expected to stay relatively flat as our lowest rate residential mortgage loans will be sold on the secondary market.
 
Rate changes can typically be expected to have an impact on interest income. Because the government is now expected to remove the quantitative easing more slowly, we expect to see the money supply shrink slowly and market rates to stay low. Lower rates generally increase borrower preference for fixed rate products which we typically sell on the secondary market, and existing adjustable rate loans can be expected to reprice to lower rates which could be expected to have a negative impact on our interest income. To some extent we expect to make up for the reduction in interest income with an increase in gains on sold loans.
 
Our primary expense is interest on deposits and FHLB advances which are used to fund loan growth. We offer customers in our market area time deposits for terms ranging from three months to five years, checking accounts and savings accounts. We also purchase brokered deposits and FHLB advances as needed to provide funding or improve our interest rate risk position. Generally when interest rates are low, depositors will choose shorter-term products and conversely when rates are high, depositors will choose longer-term products.

 
28

 
 
We consider expected changes in interest rates when structuring our interest-earning assets and our interest-bearing liabilities. When rates are expected to increase we try to book shorter-term assets that will reprice relatively quickly to higher rates over time, and book longer-term liabilities that will remain for a longer time at lower rates. Conversely, when rates are expected to fall, we would like our balance sheet to be structured such that loans will reprice more slowly to lower rates and deposits will reprice more quickly. We currently offer a three-year and a five-year certificate of deposit that allows depositors one opportunity to have their rate adjusted to the market rate at a future date to encourage them to choose longer-term deposit products. However, since we are not able to predict market interest rate fluctuations, our asset/liability management strategy may not prevent interest rate changes from having an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
 
Our results of operations may also be affected by general and local competitive conditions, particularly those with respect to changes in market rates, government policies and actions of regulatory authorities.
 
The level of turmoil in the financial services industry does present unusual risks and challenges for the Company, as described in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Possible Implications of Current Events” in the Annual Report to Shareholders filed as Exhibit 13 to the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
 
Also, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) has made sweeping changes to the United States financial system. The Dodd-Frank Act eliminated the Office of Thrift Supervision (the “OTS”) as of July 21, 2011. The Dodd-Frank Act transferred to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the “OCC”) all functions and all rulemaking authority of the OTS relating to federal savings associations. The Dodd-Frank Act also transferred to the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve”) all functions of the OTS relating to savings and loan holding companies and their non-depository institution subsidiaries. Thus, the Bank is being supervised by the OCC and the Company is being supervised by the Federal Reserve from and after July 21, 2011.  The OCC and the Federal Reserve have published regulations that will apply to the entities that they are regulating for the first time. OTS guidance, orders, interpretations, and policies to which federal savings associations like the Bank and savings and loan holding companies like the Company are subject are to remain in effect until they are suspended.
 
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
Generally accepted accounting principles are complex and require management to apply significant judgments to various accounting, reporting and disclosure matters. Management of LSB Financial must use assumptions and estimates to apply these principles where actual measurement is not possible or practical. For a complete discussion of LSB Financial’s significant accounting policies, see Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2010 included in the Annual Report to Shareholders filed as Exhibit 13 to the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. Certain policies are considered critical because they are highly dependent upon subjective or complex judgments, assumptions and estimates. Changes in such estimates may have a significant impact on the financial statements. Management has reviewed the application of these policies with the Audit Committee of LSB Financial’s Board of Directors. These policies include the following:

 
29

 
 
Allowance for Loan Losses
 
The allowance for loan losses represents management’s estimate of probable losses inherent in Lafayette Savings’ loan portfolios. In determining the appropriate amount of the allowance for loan losses, management makes numerous assumptions, estimates and assessments.
 
The strategy also emphasizes diversification on an industry and customer level, regular credit quality reviews and quarterly management reviews of large credit exposures and loans experiencing deterioration of credit quality.
 
Lafayette Savings’ allowance consists of three components: probable losses estimated from individual reviews of specific loans, probable losses estimated from historical loss rates, and probable losses resulting from economic or other deterioration above and beyond what is reflected in the first two components of the allowance.
 
Larger commercial loans that exhibit probable or observed credit weaknesses and all loans that are rated substandard or lower are subject to individual review. Where appropriate, reserves are allocated to individual loans based on management’s estimate of the borrower’s ability to repay the loan given the availability of collateral, other sources of cash flow and legal options available to the Bank. Included in the review of individual loans are those that are impaired as provided in FASB ASC 310-10 (formerly FAS 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan). Any allowances for impaired loans are determined by the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or fair value of the underlying collateral based on the discounted appraised value.   Historical loss rates are applied to other commercial loans not subject to specific reserve allocations.
 
Homogenous smaller balance loans, such as consumer installment and mortgage loans secured by various property types are not individually risk graded. Reserves are established for each pool of loans based on the expected net charge-offs. Loss rates are based on the average net charge-off history by loan category.
 
Historical loss rates for commercial and consumer loans may be adjusted for significant factors that, in management’s judgment, reflect the impact of any current conditions on loss recognition.  Factors which management considers in the analysis include the effects of the national and local economies, trends in the nature and volume of loans (delinquencies, charge-offs and nonaccrual loans), changes in mix, asset quality trends, risk management and loan administration, changes in the internal lending policies and credit standards, collection practices, examination results from bank regulatory agencies and Lafayette Savings’ internal loan review.
 
Allowances on individual loans are reviewed quarterly and historical loss rates are reviewed annually and adjusted as necessary based on changing borrower and/or collateral conditions and actual collection and charge-off experience.
 
Lafayette Savings’ primary market area for lending is Tippecanoe County, Indiana and to a lesser extent the eight surrounding counties. When evaluating the adequacy of the allowance, consideration is given to this regional geographic concentration and the closely associated effect of changing economic conditions on Lafayette Savings’ customers.

 
30

 
 
Mortgage Servicing Rights
 
Mortgage servicing rights (MSRs) associated with loans originated and sold, where servicing is retained, are capitalized and included in other intangible assets in the consolidated balance sheet. The value of the capitalized servicing rights represents the present value of the future servicing fees arising from the right to service loans in the portfolio. Critical accounting policies for MSRs relate to the initial valuation and subsequent impairment tests. The methodology used to determine the valuation of MSRs requires the development and use of a number of estimates, including anticipated principal amortization and prepayments of that principal balance. Events that may significantly affect the estimates used are changes in interest rates, mortgage loan prepayment speeds and the payment performance of the underlying loans. The carrying value of the MSRs is periodically reviewed for impairment based on a determination of fair value. For purposes of measuring impairment, the servicing rights are compared to a valuation prepared based on a discounted cash flow methodology, utilizing current prepayment speeds and discount rates. Impairment, if any, is recognized through a valuation allowance and is recorded as amortization of intangible assets.
 
 
Accounting for Foreclosed Assets
 
Assets acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are held for sale and are initially recorded at fair value less cost to sell at the date of foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management and the assets are carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Revenue and expenses from operations and changes in the valuation allowance are included in net income or expense from foreclosed assets.
 
 
Financial Condition
 
Comparison of Financial Condition at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010
 
Our total assets decreased $8.0 million, or 2.15%, during the nine months from December 31, 2010 to September 30, 2011.  Primary components of this decrease were an $11.8 million decrease in net loans receivable including loans held for sale, a $489,000 decrease in other assets and a $398,000 decrease in Federal Home Loan Bank stock.  These decreases were offset by a $1.9 million increase in cash, a $1.7 million increase in short-term investments and a $942,000 increase in available-for-sale securities.  Management attributes the decrease in loans to an increase in residential mortgage loan refinancing due to the ongoing interest of residential borrowers in refinancing their mortgages to lower, fixed rate mortgages in response to continuing low interest rates.  We typically sell these loans on the secondary market.  In addition, demand for commercial loans continues to be slow.  Deposits decreased $4.6 million generally due to a perceived increased willingness by Bank customers to search for higher returns from alternative investments.  Because of the slower loan demand the Bank was willing to allow these rate-sensitive funds to leave the Bank.  We also reduced Federal Home Loan Bank advances from $22.5 million at December 31, 2010 to $18.0 million at September 30, 2011 also due to lower loan volume.

 
31

 
 
Non-performing assets, which include non-accruing loans, loans 90 or more days past due but still accruing, and foreclosed assets, decreased from $19.3 million at December 31, 2010 to $16.4 million at September 30, 2011.  Non-performing loans at September 30, 2011 were comprised of $7.5 million, or 50.40%, of one- to four-family or multi-family residential real estate loans, $7.1 million, or 47.93%, of loans on land or commercial property, and $240,000, or 1.67%, of non real estate loans.  Non-performing assets at September 30, 2011 also include $1.5 million of foreclosed assets compared to $1.2 million at December 30, 2010.  At September 30, 2011, our allowance for loan losses equaled 1.69% of total loans compared to 1.65% at December 31, 2010. The allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2011 totaled 32.79% of non-performing assets compared to 27.74% at December 31, 2010, and 36.05% of non-performing loans at September 30, 2011 compared to 29.61% at December 31, 2010.  Our non-performing assets equaled 4.50% of total assets at September 30, 2011 compared to 5.18% at December 31, 2010.  Non-performing loans totaling $2.8 million were charged off in the first nine months of 2011, offset by $55,000 of recoveries.  These significant improvements were due to the Bank charging off $1.8 million of non-performing loans, taking $1.5 million into other real estate owned (“OREO”), accepting short sales on $3.8 million and restoring $462,000 to accrual status.  In addition, we received principal reductions or payoffs of $749,000 on four loans and $102,000 of principal payments.
 
When a loan is added to our classified loan list, an impairment analysis is completed to determine expected losses upon final disposition of the property.  An adjustment to loan loss reserves is made at that time for any anticipated losses.  This analysis is updated quarterly thereafter.  It may take up to two years to move a foreclosed property through the system to the point where we can obtain title to the property and dispose of it.  We attempt to acquire properties through deeds in lieu of foreclosure if there are no other liens on the properties.  Three of the 14 acquired properties received in the first nine months of 2011 were through deeds in lieu of foreclosure.  Although we believe we use the best information available to determine the adequacy of our allowance for loan losses, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary, and net income could be significantly affected if circumstances and/or economic conditions cause substantial changes in the estimates we use in making the determinations about the levels of the allowance for losses.  Additionally, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review our allowance for loan losses.  These agencies may require the recognition of additions to the allowance based upon their judgments of information available at the time of their examination.  Effective August 31, 2010, the Bank entered into a Supervisory Agreement (the “Supervisory Agreement”) with the OTS requiring the Bank, among other things, to submit for review by the OTS revised policies and procedures related to the allowance for loan losses.  The Bank has implemented the revised policy which it presumes will address the concerns expressed by the OTS and has not been notified of any concerns.  The Supervisory Agreement did not require an additional provision for loan loss reserves.  As noted above, as of July 21, 2011, all functions and all rulemaking authority of the OTS relating to federal savings associations were transferred to the OCC.  As a result, the OCC will now enforce the Supervisory Agreement with the Bank.
 
Shareholders’ equity increased from $35.6 million at December 31, 2010 to $36.8 million at September 30, 2011, an increase of $1.2 million, or 3.52%, primarily as a result of net income of $1.1 million.  Shareholders’ equity to total assets was 10.12% at September 30, 2011 compared to 9.57% at December 31, 2010.

Results of Operations
 
Comparison of Operating Results for the Nine Months and the Three Months ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010
 
General.  Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $1.1 million, a decrease of $376,000, or 24.82%, from the nine months ended September 30, 2010.  The decrease was primarily due to a $927,000, or 51.24%, increase in the provision for loan losses partially offset by a $551,000, or 5.81%, increase in net interest income. There was a $74,000, or 3.60%, increase in non-interest income and a $213,000, or 2.85%, increase in non-interest expenses and a $139,000 decrease in taxes.
 
Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 was $457,000, a decrease of $69,000, or 13.12%, from the $526,000 in net income in the comparable quarter in 2010.  The decrease for the three month period was primarily due to a $185,000, or 7.38%, increase in non-interest expenses and a $29,000, or 0.86%, decrease in net interest income, partially offset by a $106,000 increase in non-interest income, a $25,000 decrease in the provision for loan losses and a $14,000 decrease in taxes.
 
Net Interest Income.  Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 increased $551,000 or 5.81%, over the same period in 2011.  This increase was due to a 33 basis point increase in our net interest margin (net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets) from 3.64% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to 3.97% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 offset by a $3.3 million decrease in average net interest-earning assets.  The increase in net interest margin is primarily due to the 56 basis point decrease in the average rate on interest-bearing liabilities from 1.87% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to 1.31% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The average rate on interest-earning assets decreased 19 basis points from 5.47% to 5.28% for the same respective periods.
 
Interest income on loans decreased $1.0 million, or 7.28%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same nine months in 2010.  The average rate on loans fell from 5.66% to 5.46% partly due to the continuing action by the Federal Reserve to keep interest rates low.  The average balance of loans receivable decreased by $12.9 million for the two periods primarily because of the increase in refinancing and the sale of these loans on the secondary market for interest rate risk management purposes.
 
Interest earned on other investments and Federal Home Loan Bank stock decreased by $23,000, or 6.25%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010.  This was primarily the result of a 10basis point decrease in the average yield on the investments and Federal Home Loan Bank stock from 2.45% to 2.35% over the comparable periods.
 
Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 decreased $1.6 million, or 33.15%, compared to the same period in 2010 consisting of a $927,000 decrease in interest paid on deposits and a $659,000 decrease in interest expenses on Federal Home Loan Bank advances.  The lower deposit costs were primarily due to a decrease in the average rate paid on time deposits from 2.45% for the first nine months of 2010 to 1.97% for the first nine months of 2011 and by a $20.4 million increase in the average balance of lower rate demand deposit accounts combined with a $16.0 million decrease in the average balance of comparatively higher rate time deposits.  The increase in demand accounts was largely due to an increase in public funds while the decrease in time deposits came from depositors opting for alternative investments as they feel more confident about the economic situation.   The decrease in Federal Home Loan Bank advance expense was due to a decrease in the average rate paid on advances from 3.32% for the first nine months of 2010 to 2.28% for the first nine months of 2011 because of lower rates in the economy, and a $20.4 million decrease in average balances as we used the increase in demand deposit accounts to pay off higher rate advances.

Net interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2011 decreased $29,000, or 0.86% over the same period in 2010 due primarily to a $6.9 million decrease in net earning assets partially offset by a 25 basis point increase in our net interest margin from 3.83% for the third quarter of 2010 to 4.08% for the third quarter of 2011.  Interest income on loans decreased $475,000 for the third quarter of 2011 compared to the third quarter of 2010 primarily due to a 17 basis point decrease in the average yield on loans from 5.70% for the third quarter of 2010 to 5.53% for the third quarter of 2011 and a $23.9 million decrease in average outstanding balances.  Interest income on other investments and Federal Home Loan Bank stock decreased $2,000 for the third quarter of 2011 compared to the third quarter of 2010 due to primarily to an $810,000 decrease in the average balance offset by a 6 basis point increase in the average yield on other investments and Federal Home Loan Bank stock.  Interest expense decreased $448,000, or 30.09%, for the third quarter of 2011 from the same period in 2010 primarily due to a 44 basis point decrease in the average rate paid on interest-earning liabilities from 1.72% for the third quarter of 2010 to 1.28% for the same period in 2011 and a $22.7 million decrease in average interest-earning liabilities for the same periods.
 
 
Provision for Loan Losses.  The evaluation of the level of loan loss reserves is an ongoing process that includes closely monitoring loan delinquencies. The following chart shows delinquent loans as well as a breakdown of non-performing assets.

Loans that are less than 90 days delinquent but are non-accruing are included in the non-accruing loan category but not in the delinquencies under 90 days.
 
The accrual of interest income is discontinued when a loan becomes 90 days and three payments past due.  Loans 90 days past due but not yet three payments past due will continue to accrue interest as long as it has been determined that the loan is well secured and in the process of collection.  Troubled debt restructurings that were non-performing at the time of their restructure are considered non-accruing loans until sufficient time has passed for them to establish a pattern of compliance with the terms of the restructure.
 
The $3.2 million decrease in non-performing loans at September 30, 2011 compared to December 31, 2010 was primarily due to the Bank charging off $1.8 million of non-performing loans, taking $1.5 million into OREO, accepting short sales on $3.8 million and restoring $462,000 to accrual status.  In addition we received principal reductions or payoffs of $749,000 on four loans and $102,000 of principal payments.  Over this period we also had $5.3 million in new loans become non-performing of which $2.1 million were residential properties and $3.2 million were nonresidential or land loans.  We intend to set up troubled debt restructures on $3.0 million of these new loans as the borrowers have shown a capacity to repay.

We establish our provision for loan losses based on a systematic analysis of risk factors in the loan portfolio.  The analysis includes consideration of concentrations of credit, past loss experience, current economic conditions, the amount and composition of the loan portfolio, estimated fair value of the underlying collateral, delinquencies and other relevant factors.  From time to time, we also use the services of a consultant to assist in the evaluation of our growing commercial real estate loan portfolio.  On at least a quarterly basis, a formal analysis of the adequacy of the allowance is prepared and reviewed by management and the Board of Directors.  This analysis serves as a point-in-time assessment of the level of the allowance and serves as a basis for provisions for loan losses.
 
More specifically, our analysis of the loan portfolio will begin at the time the loan is originated, at which time each loan is assigned a risk rating.  If the loan is a commercial credit, the borrower will also be assigned a similar rating.  Loans that continue to perform as agreed will be included in one of ten non-classified loan categories.  Portions of the allowance are allocated to loan portfolios in the various risk grades, based upon a variety of factors, including historical loss experience, trends in the type and volume of the loan portfolios, trends in delinquent and non-performing loans, and economic trends affecting our market.  Loans no longer performing as agreed are assigned a higher risk rating, eventually resulting in their being regarded as classified loans.  A collateral re-evaluation is completed on all classified loans.  This process results in the allocation of specific amounts of the allowance to individual problem loans, generally based on an analysis of the collateral securing those loans.  These components are added together and compared to the balance of our allowance at the evaluation date.
 
At September 30, 2011 our largest areas of concern were loans on non-residential properties, one- to four-family non-owner occupied rental properties, and, to a lesser extent land development loans and multi-family loans.  Loans totaling $5.0 million on non-residential properties, $4.5 million on one- to four-family rental properties, and $2.2 million on land development were past due more than 30 days at September 30, 2011.  Because of the presence of Purdue University, student housing has been a niche for us, but because of the economy we are seeing problems with vacancies, especially in non-campus housing.  The non-residential properties are typically loans where the borrowers are seeing increased vacancies and late rent payments because of the economy.  Land loans are of some concern as absorption rates are slower than anticipated on land development loans, although sales continue to improve.
 
We recorded a $2.7 million provision for loan losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as a result of our analyses of our current loan portfolios, compared to $1.8 million during the same period in 2010.  We recorded an $885,000 provision for loan losses for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 as a result of our analyses of our current loan portfolios, compared to $910,000 during the same period in 2010.  The provisions in the third quarter were necessary to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level considered appropriate to absorb probable incurred losses in the loan portfolio.  The main reason for the increase for the first nine months of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010 was the addition of specific reserves on impaired loans due to the receipt of new appraisals that affected our evaluation of the credits.  During the first nine months of 2011, we charged $2.8 million against loan loss reserves and had recoveries of $55,000.   We expect to obtain possession of more properties in 2011 that are currently in the process of foreclosure.  The final disposition of these properties may result in a loss.  The $5.4 million allowance for loan losses was considered appropriate to cover probable incurred losses based on our evaluation and our loan mix.

Our loan portfolio contains no option ARM products, interest-only loans, or loans with initial teaser rates.  While we occasionally make loans with credit scores in the subprime range, these loans are only made if there are sufficient mitigating factors, not as part of a subprime mortgage plan.   We occasionally make mortgages that exceed high loan-to-value regulatory guidelines for property type.  We currently have $8.9 million of mortgage loans that are other than one- to four-family loans that qualify as high loan-to-value.  We typically make these loans only to well-qualified borrowers. Of these loans, $1.4 million are delinquent more than 30 days.  We also have $7.3 million of one- to four-family loans which either alone or combined with a second mortgage exceed high loan-to-value guidelines.  Of these loans, $397,000 are delinquent more than 30 days.  Our total high loan-to-value loans at September 30, 2011 were at 41% of capital, well under regulatory guidelines of 100% of capital.  We have $17.5 million of Home Equity Lines of Credit of which two loans totaling $98,000 were delinquent more than 30 days at September 30, 2011.

At September 30, 2011, non-performing assets, consisting of non-accruing loans, accruing loans 90 days or more delinquent and other real estate owned, totaled $16.4 million compared to $19.3 million at December 31, 2010.  In addition to our non-performing assets, we identified $18.0 million in other loans of concern where information about possible credit problems of borrowers causes management to have doubts as to the ability of the borrowers to comply with present repayment terms and may result in disclosure of such loans as non-performing assets in the future.  The vast majority of these loans, as well as our non-performing assets, are well collateralized.
 
At September 30, 2011, we believe that our allowance for loan losses was appropriate to absorb probable incurred losses inherent in our loan portfolio.  Our allowance for losses equaled 1.69% of net loans receivable and 36.05% of non-performing loans at September 30, 2011 compared to 1.65% and 29.61% at December 31, 2010, respectively.  Our non-performing assets equaled 4.50% of total assets at September 30, 2011 compared to 5.18% at December 31, 2010.

Non-Interest Income.  Non-interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 increased by $74,000, or 3.60%, compared to the same period in 2010.  This was primarily due to by a $182,000 increase in the gain on the sale of mortgage loans, a $39,000 increase in other income and an $11,000 decrease in losses on the sale or writedown of OREO properties offset by a decrease of $165,000 in service charges and fee income.  The increase in the gain on sale of mortgage loans was due to an increase in loans sold from $27.3 million in the first nine months of 2010 to $36.8 million for the same period in 2011 primarily because of continuing low loan rates resulting in borrowers refinancing their mortgages to lower rate fixed rate loans that we typically sell on the secondary market. The decrease in service fees was primarily due to a lower volume of customer overdrafts and regulatory changes involving the collection of service fees.  The increase in other income was primarily due to an increase in mortgage servicing fees due to the increase in mortgage loans sold.
 
Non-interest income for the third quarter of 2011 increased by $106,000, or 12.96%, compared to the same period in 2010 due primarily to an $86,000 decrease in the loss of sale of OREO properties and a $59,000 increase in other income offset by a $32,000 decrease in the gain on the sale of mortgage loans and a $12,000 decrease in fees on deposit accounts for the same reasons stated above for the nine month periods.  The change from a decrease in the gain on sale of loans for the three month period to an increase for the nine months was due to a substantial increase in the number of loans sold in the third quarter of 2010.
 
Non-Interest Expense.  Non-interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 increased $213,000, or 2.85%, compared to the same period in 2010 due primarily $206,000 increase in salaries and employee benefits, including a $125,000 increase in health insurance costs and a $60,000 increase in salaries due to continuing loan origination activity by commission-based loan originators, and a $143,000 increase in other expenses due primarily to a $64,000 increase in legal fees due primarily to credit related consulting costs, and a $48,000 increase in appraisal fees to comply with regulatory guidance issued at the end of 2010.  These increases were offset by a $98,000 decrease in occupancy cost due to lower real estate taxes from reduced property assessments and lower depreciation on furniture and fixtures because of a decrease in purchases, and by a $58,000 decrease in FDIC insurance premiums.
 
Non-interest expense for the third quarter of 2011 increased by $185,000 over the same period in 2010, due largely to the factors mentioned above including a $64,000 increase in salaries, a $29,000 decrease in occupancy expense due primarily to reduced property tax assessments and a $178,000 increase in other expenses due primarily to an increase in fees for professional services required to comply with various legal, reporting and regulatory issues. FDIC insurance premiums decreased $53,000 for the quarter.
 
Income Tax Expense.   Our income tax provision decreased by $139,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and by $14,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2010, due primarily to decreased pre-tax income.

Liquidity
 
Our primary sources of funds are deposits, repayment and prepayment of loans, interest earned on or maturation of investment securities and short-term investments, borrowings and funds provided from operations.  While maturities and the scheduled amortization of loans, investments and mortgage-backed securities are a predictable source of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general market interest rates, economic conditions and competition.
 
We monitor our cash flow carefully and strive to minimize the level of cash held in low-rate overnight accounts or in cash on hand.  We also carefully track the scheduled delivery of loans committed for sale to be added to our cash flow calculations.   Our current internal policy for liquidity requires minimum liquidity of 4.0% of total assets.
 
Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function for our senior management. We adjust our investment strategy, within the limits established by the investment policy, based upon assessments of expected loan demand, expected cash flows, Federal Home Loan Bank advance opportunities, market yields and objectives of our asset/liability management program.  Base levels of liquidity have generally been invested in interest-earning overnight and time deposits with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis and more recently at the Federal Reserve since they have started to pay interest on deposits in excess of reserve requirements and because of increasing wire transfer requests due to a change in funding methods now required by title companies.  Funds for which a demand is not foreseen in the near future are invested in investment and other securities for the purpose of yield enhancement and asset/liability management.
 
Our liquidity ratios at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were 8.53% and 6.53%, respectively, compared to a regulatory liquidity base, and 7.22% and 6.06% compared to total assets at the end of each period.
 
We anticipate that we will have sufficient funds available to meet current funding commitments.  At September 30, 2011, we had outstanding commitments to originate loans and available lines of credit totaling $37.2 million and commitments to provide funds to complete current construction projects in the amount of $2.3 million. We had $962,000 outstanding commitments to sell residential loans.  Certificates of deposit which will mature in one year or less totaled $88.6 million at September 30, 2011.  Included in that number are $2.6 million of brokered deposits.  Based on our experience, certificates of deposit held by local depositors have been a relatively stable source of long-term funds as such certificates are generally renewed upon maturity since we have established long-term banking relationships with our customers.  Therefore, we believe a significant portion of such deposits will remain with us, although this cannot be assured.  Brokered deposits can be expected not to renew at maturity and will have to be replaced with other funding upon maturity.  We also have $3.0 million of Federal Home Loan Bank advances maturing in the next twelve months.

Capital Resources
 
Shareholders’ equity totaled $36.8 million at September 30, 2011 compared to $35.6 million at December 31, 2010, an increase of $1.3 million, or 3.52%, due primarily to net income of $1.1 million.  Shareholders’ equity to total assets was 10.12% at September 30, 2011 compared to 9.57% at December 31, 2010.
 
Federal insured savings institutions are required to maintain a minimum level of regulatory capital.  If the requirement is not met, regulatory authorities may take legal or administrative actions, including restrictions on growth or operations or, in extreme cases, seizure.  As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, Lafayette Savings was categorized as well capitalized.  Our actual and required capital amounts and ratios at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 are presented below:

Effective August 31, 2010, the Company entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with the OTS, requiring the Company to submit to the OTS by October 31, 2010 a capital plan for enhancing the consolidated capital of the Company for the period January 1, 2011 through December 31, 2012.  In its submitted capital plan, the Company proposes to maintain risk-based capital ratios above twelve percent (200 basis points above the ten percent well-capitalized level), and core capital above eight percent (300 basis points above the five percent well-capitalized level). The current capital levels shown in the table above are at least 1% above these levels.  The OTS notified the Company that certain revisions to the capital plan primarily relating to consolidated capital ratios and consolidated financial statements of the Company must be submitted by August 30, 2011.  The Company has requested clarification from the Federal Reserve regarding the requested information and has submitted a response on August 30, 2011 explaining a labeling correction that the Company believes will address the concerns noted by the OTS.

The Bank’s Supervisory Agreement and the MOU require prior OCC (the Bank’s current primary regulator following elimination of the OTS) approval of dividends by the Bank or the Company, respectively.  In addition, the MOU requires prior approval by the Federal Reserve (formerly the OTS) of any debt at the holding company level not in the ordinary course (including loans, cumulative preferred stock and subordinated debt), unless such debt is contemplated by the capital plan.  The holding company does not now hold any such debt.  As noted above, as a result of the Dodd-Frank Act, the Bank is being supervised by the OCC and the Company is being supervised by the Federal Reserve from and after July 21, 2011.  As a result, the OCC will now enforce the Bank’s Supervisory Agreement and the Federal Reserve will enforce the MOU.  Despite the fact that LSB Financial believes it could obtain regulatory approval of dividends from the Bank to LSB Financial, the Bank has elected not to declare dividends at this time (and LSB Financial is therefore unable to declare dividends) because of the uncertainty regarding increased capital requirements anticipated under the Dodd-Frank Act and because the Bank has obtained a new bank regulator - the OCC - under the Dodd-Frank Act and the Bank is not familiar with the OCC’s positions on capital and other related financial matters.

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION
 
Item 1.  Legal Proceedings
 
Effective August 31, 2010, the Bank executed an updated Supervisory Agreement (the “Supervisory Agreement”) with the Office of Thrift Supervision (“OTS”) and LSB Financial Corp.  (the “Company”) entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (the “MOU”) with the OTS under which the Bank and the Company have agreed to take a number of actions within specified timeframes to address concerns identified by the OTS in connection with its 2010 examination of the Bank.   These agreements replace the prior Memorandum of Understanding and Supervisory Agreement between the Bank and the OTS.  As a result of the Dodd-Frank Act, from and after July 21, 2011, the Bank is being supervised by the OCC and the Company is being supervised by the Federal Reserve.   As a result, the OCC will now enforce the Bank’s Supervisory Agreement and the Federal Reserve will enforce the MOU.  The Supervisory Agreement and the MOU will remain in effect until terminated, modified or superseded by the OCC or Federal Reserve, respectively.
 
The updated Supervisory Agreement eliminates certain requirements satisfied in the Bank’s prior agreement with the OTS.
 
Under the Supervisory Agreement, by September 30, 2010, the Bank’s board of directors was required to provide to the OTS written workout plans for each adversely classified asset or group of classified assets to any one borrower or loan relationship of $500,000 or greater certain classified assets.   The Bank must also present quarterly status reports to the OCC (formerly, the OTS).   The Bank timely submitted the required workout plans and has provided, and will continue to provide, the quarterly written asset status reports as required.  The Bank believes it is in compliance with this provision of the Supervisory Agreement and that these plans are a useful tool in monitoring the progress of its workouts of classified assets.
 
The Bank’s board of directors was also required to revise its policy on concentrations of credit and, in the event the revised limits are lower, adopt a plan to bring the Bank into compliance with the revised policy.   The Bank’s board must also, on a quarterly basis, review the Bank’s compliance with the revised policy and the appropriateness of its concentration limits given current economic conditions and the Bank’s capital position.   On September 20, 2010, the Bank’s board of directors approved a revised Concentrations of Credit Policy and Reduction Plan and continues to review the policy and compliance therewith on a quarterly basis.  The Bank believes it is in compliance with these provisions of the Supervisory Agreement, and that its concentrations in the area of one- to four-family non-owner occupied rental properties have been reduced as a result of these actions.
 
The Bank was also required to revise its policies and procedures related to the establishment and maintenance of its allowance for loan losses and submit the revised policy to the Regional Director of the OTS for review and comment.   However, the Supervisory Agreement did not require an additional provision for loan loss reserves.   The Bank revised its allowance for loan losses policy on September 21, 2010.  On June 20, 2011, the Bank’s board of directors further revised the policy to add clarification with respect to the requirement for outside appraisals.  As a result of these actions, the Bank now obtains appraisals performed by a state-certified appraiser on all higher risk transactions. The Bank believes that it is in compliance with this provision of the Supervisory Agreement.

 
44

 
 
The Supervisory Agreement also required the Bank to revise its written internal asset review and classification program.   The Bank revised its internal asset review and classification program policy on September 21, 2010.  The Bank’s board of directors has also approved establishment of an asset review committee that will review any loan rating changes.  As a result of these actions, the Bank believes it has improved its loan classification process and its identification of troubled debt restructurings and nonaccrual loans. The Bank believes that it is in compliance with this provision of the Supervisory Agreement.
 
The Bank was required to submit to the OTS an updated business plan for the period beginning January 1, 2011 through December 31, 2012.   The Bank submitted a three-year Business Plan to the OTS by October 31, 2010 which sets forth minimum capital goals of 8 percent and 12 percent for Tier 1 (Core) and risk-based capital, respectively.  The Plan outlines strategies that will be employed to boost earnings and preserve capital, and includes pro-forma financial projections and budget assumptions.  Any material modifications to the Business Plan must receive prior, written non-objection of the OCC (formerly the OTS).   By December 31, 2011, and each December 31st thereafter while the Supervisory Agreement remains in effect, the Business Plan must be updated and submitted to the OCC (formerly the OTS).  The OTS Regional Director notified the Bank on July 14, 2011 that the Plan was acceptable and should be implemented immediately.   The Bank has implemented the Business Plan and there have been no material modifications to the Business Plan since submission.   The Bank believes it is in compliance with this provision of the Supervisory Agreement, except to the extent not yet applicable.  The Bank believes that these actions relating to its Business Plan have improved its budgeting process.
 
The Bank’s board of directors is also required to review written quarterly variance reports on the Bank’s compliance with the Business Plan.   A copy of each variance report is to be provided to the OCC (formerly the OTS) within five (5) days after review by the board.  A budget variance report explaining the reasons for material variances from original projections is submitted to the Bank’s board of directors within 45 days of the quarter end.   The board discusses the impact of noted variances and determines whether or not corrective action is required.   The Bank believes it is in compliance with this provision of the Supervisory Agreement.
 
The Supervisory Agreement requires prior written non-objection of the OCC (formerly the OTS) of the declaration or payment of dividends or other capital distributions by the Bank.   The Bank has not declared or paid dividends, nor has it made any other capital distribution to the Company without the required prior approval.  The Bank’s last approved dividend to the Company was paid in July, 2011. It does not anticipate needing further approvals of Bank dividends before the end of the year.  The Bank is in compliance with this provision of the Supervisory Agreement.
 
The Supervisory Agreement places restrictions on the Bank with respect to certain operating activities, requiring prior notice to the OCC (formerly the OTS) of changes in directors and senior executive officers and prior written non-objection from the OCC (formerly the OTS) with respect to senior executive officer or director compensation, material third party service provider contracts, and asset growth over certain levels until the approval of the Bank’s Business Plan.   Asset growth has not exceeded interest credited since third quarter 2010 (the quarter in which the Supervisory Agreement was executed).  No payments covered by the Supervisory Agreement’s restriction on “golden parachute payments” as defined in 12 CFR § 359.1(f) have been made or requested since the effective date of the Supervisory Agreement.   Director Thomas Parent is the only new addition to the board or executive management since the effective date of the Supervisory Agreement and his appointment complied with the requirements of the Supervisory Agreement.   The Bank believes it is in compliance with these provisions of the Supervisory Agreement.

Under the MOU, the Company was required to submit to the OTS by October 31, 2010, a capital plan for enhancing the consolidated capital of the Company for the period January 1, 2011 through December 31, 2012.  The capital plan is to be updated each year during which the MOU is effective.  On July 14, 2011, the OTS notified the Company that certain revisions to the capital plan primarily relating to consolidated capital ratios and consolidated financial statements of the Company were needed.  The Company has requested clarification from the Federal Reserve regarding the requested information and has submitted a response on August 30, 2011 explaining a labeling correction that the Company believes will address the concerns noted by the OTS.
 
The MOU also requires prior written non-objection of the Federal Reserve (formerly the OTS) of the declaration or payment of dividends or other capital distributions by the Company and of any Company debt not in the ordinary course (including loans, cumulative preferred stock and subordinated debt) unless such debt is contemplated by the capital plan.   The Company does not now hold any such debt.  The Company believes it is in compliance with the provisions of the MOU.  The Company suspended dividends to its shareholders starting with the third quarter of 2010 and its Board of Directors periodically evaluates whether to resume payment of any such dividends.  Any resumption of dividends would require the prior approval of the Federal Reserve.
 
The Company believes that the Supervisory Agreement and the MOU have not had, and will not have, a material impact on the financial condition or results of operations of the Bank or the Company, taken as a whole.
