Sunnyside Bancorp, Inc.

 

Sunnyside Bancorp, Inc. (“Sunnyside Bancorp” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Maryland in March 2013 for the purpose of becoming the savings and loan holding company for Sunnyside Federal Savings and Loan Association of Irvington (“Sunnyside Federal” or the “Bank”), upon consummation of the Bank’s mutual to stock conversion. The conversion was consummated in July 2013 at which time Sunnyside Bancorp became the registered savings and loan holding company of the Bank. To date, other than holding all of the issued and outstanding stock of Sunnyside Federal and making a loan to the Bank’s employee stock ownership plan, we have not engaged in any business.

 

At December 31, 2013, Sunnyside Bancorp had consolidated assets of $91.3 million, liabilities of $79.3 million and equity of $12.0 million.

 

Sunnyside Bancorp uses the support staff and offices of Sunnyside Federal and pays Sunnyside Federal for these services. If we expand or change our business in the future, we may hire our own employees although we do not expect that this will happen in the near future.

 

Sunnyside Bancorp is a registered savings and loan holding company and is subject to comprehensive regulation and examination by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. Sunnyside Bancorp’s executive and administrative office is located at 56 Main Street, Irvington, New York 10533, and our telephone number at this address is (914) 591-8000.

Sunnyside Federal Savings and Loan Association of Irvington

 

Sunnyside Federal is a federal savings association that was founded in 1930. In July 2013, we completed our mutual to stock conversion thereby becoming a stock savings bank and becoming the wholly owned subsidiary of Sunnyside Bancorp. Sunnyside Federal conducts business from its full-service banking office located in Irvington, New York which is located in Westchester County, New York approximately 25 miles north of New York City. We consider our deposit market area to be the Westchester County, New York towns of Irvington, Tarrytown, Sleepy Hollow, Hastings, Dobbs Ferry and Ardley-on-Hudson, and consider our lending area to be Westchester, Putnam and Rockland Counties, New York.

 

Our business consists primarily of taking deposits from the general public and investing those deposits, together with funds generated from operations, in one- to four-family residential real estate loans and commercial and multi-family real estate loans, and, to a much more limited extent, home equity lines of credit and other loans (consisting primarily of loans secured by deposits and marketable securities). At December 31, 2013, $34.6 million, or 85.9%, of our total loan portfolio was comprised of owner-occupied, one- to four-family residential real estate loans.

 

We also invest in securities, which consist primarily of U.S. government agency obligations and mortgage-backed securities and to a lesser extent, securities of states, counties and political subdivisions.

 

We offer a variety of deposit accounts, including certificate of deposit accounts, money market accounts, savings accounts, NOW accounts and individual retirement accounts. We historically have not used borrowings to fund our operations and had no borrowings at December 31, 2013.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2013, we had a net loss of $60,000, compared to a net loss of $320,000 for the year ended December 31, 2012. Our current business strategy includes increasing our asset size, diversifying our loan portfolio to increase our non-residential lending, including commercial and multi-family real estate lending and commercial lending and increasing our non-interest income, as ways to improve our profitability in future periods.

 

All of the members of our current executive management team have been with Sunnyside Federal since 2011. Since that time, we have begun to shift Sunnyside Federal’s strategy to diversify our traditional thrift focus into a more commercial bank style of operation with a broadened base of financial products and services while emphasizing superior customer service. While residential real estate lending has been, and will remain, the most important part of our operations, we intend to diversify our focus on non-residential lending, including commercial and multi-family real estate lending and commercial lending, including Small Business Administration (SBA) lending.

 

Sunnyside Federal is subject to comprehensive regulation and examination by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. Our executive and administrative office is located at 56 Main Street, Irvington, New York 10533, and our telephone number at this address is (914) 591-8000.

Market Area and Competition

 

We conduct our operations from our full-service banking office located in Irvington, Westchester County, New York, which is located approximately 25 miles north of New York City. Our primary deposit market area includes Irvington and the contiguous towns of Tarrytown, Sleepy Hollow, Hastings, Dobbs Ferry and Ardley-on-Hudson, all of which are located in Westchester County, New York. Our primary lending market area includes Westchester, Putnam and Rockland counties, New York. We will, on occasion, make loans secured by properties located outside of our primary lending market, especially to borrowers with whom we have an existing relationship and who have a presence within our primary lending area.

 

At December 31, 2013, $34.6 million, or 85.9%, of our total loan portfolio was comprised of owner-occupied, one-to four family residential real estate loans. Accordingly, a downturn in the residential real estate market in Westchester, Putnam, or Rockland Counties could significantly affect Sunnyside Federal’s net income.

 

Westchester County is primarily a suburban community and is the second wealthiest county in the State of New York. Due to the above average wealth of Westchester’s population and the proximity to the economy of New York City, Sunnyside Federal has been relatively shielded from the economic downturn of 2008 and 2009. As an example, some key statistics, according to the US Census Bureau, on Westchester County for the period of 2008 through 2013 are provided below:

 

·The homeownership rate in Westchester County was 62.1%, compared to 54.5% in the State of New York;

 

·The median home value was $533,300, compared to $295,300 in the State of New York;

 

·The median household income in Westchester County was $81,093, compared to $57,683 in the State of New York;

 

·Approximately 44.8% of the population of Westchester County held a bachelor’s degree or higher, compared to 32.8% of the State of New York; and

 

·Approximately 9.3% of the population of Westchester County had incomes below poverty level, compared to 14.9% of the State of New York.

 

Sunnyside Federal also makes loans on a regular basis to residents of Putnam and Rockland Counties, New York. Below are some key statistics, according to the US Census Bureau, on the economic outlook of Putnam and Rockland Counties for the period of 2008 through 2013:

Table of Contents

 

·The homeownership rate in Putnam County and Rockland County was 83.3% and 70.0%, respectively, compared to 54.5% in the State of New York;

 

·The median home value in Putnam County and Rockland County was $385,600 and $449,600, respectively, compared to $295,300 in the State of New York;

 

·The median household income in Putnam County and Rockland County was $95,259 and $86,020, respectively, compared to $57,683 in the State of New York;

 

·Approximately 38.8% and 40.9% of the population of Putnam County and Rockland County, respectively, held a bachelor’s degree or higher, compared to 32.8% of the State of New York; and

 

·Approximately 5.8% and 12.8% of the population of Putnam County and Rockland County, respectively, had incomes below poverty level, compared to 14.9% of the State of New York.

 

We face significant competition within our market both in making loans and attracting deposits. Our market area has a high concentration of financial institutions including large money center and regional banks, community banks and credit unions. Some of our competitors offer products and services that we currently do not offer, such as trust services and private banking. Our competition for loans and deposits comes principally from commercial banks, savings institutions, mortgage banking firms, consumer finance companies and credit unions. We face additional competition for deposits from short-term money market funds, brokerage firms, mutual funds and insurance companies. Our primary focus is to build and develop profitable customer relationships across all lines of business while maintaining our position as a community bank.

 

We are a small community savings institution and as of June 30, 2013 (the latest date for which information is available), our market share was 0.17% of total FDIC-insured deposits in Westchester, making us the 30th largest out of 40 financial institutions in Westchester County based upon deposit share as of that date.

 

Business Strategy

 

Our current business strategy is to operate as a community bank dedicated to serving the needs of our consumer and business customers and emphasizing personalized and efficient customer service. Highlights of our current business strategy include:

 

·growing our assets and liabilities by increasing our presence in the communities we serve and expanding our service delivery channels;

 

·utilizing our management’s commercial banking experience by diversifying our lending operations to increase our emphasis on commercial and multi-family real estate lending and commercial lending, and implementing a Small Business Administration (SBA) lending program;

 

6
Table of Contents

 

·maintaining our strong asset quality profile through conservative loan underwriting;

 

·increasing our non-interest income through the origination and sale of one-to four-family residential real estate loans and the guaranteed-portion of SBA loans;

 

·managing interest rate risk by emphasizing the origination of shorter-term loans for retention in our portfolio and considering the sale of certain newly originated longer-term one- to four-family residential real estate loans;

 

·continuing to attract and retain customers in our market area and build our “core” deposits consisting of demand, NOW, savings and money market accounts; and

 

·expanding our banking franchise as opportunities arise through de novo branching or a branch acquisition although we do not currently have any understandings or agreements to establish or acquire any new branch offices.

 

Lending Activities

 

General.  Historically, our principal lending activity has been the origination, for retention in our portfolio, of mortgage loans collateralized by one- to four-family residential real estate located within our primary market area, and at December 31, 2013, $34.6 million, or 85.9%, of our total loan portfolio was comprised of owner-occupied one- to four-family residential real estate loans. To a lesser extent, we also offer commercial and multi-family real estate loans, which we retain in our portfolio, including non-owner occupied one- to four-family residential real estate loans. We intend to grow our commercial and multi-family real estate loan portfolio, subject to favorable market condition, and intend to hire additional loan officers with commercial lending experience, including small business administration (SBA) expertise, in order to offer this type of commercial loan product in addition to the commercial and multi-family real estate loans we currently offer. We have, on occasion, purchased loans, including commercial real estate and one- to four-family residential real estate loans, and at December 31, 2013, purchased loans accounted for $4.4 million of our total loan portfolio. We will opportunistically seek to purchase whole or participations in one- to four-family residential real estate loans and commercial and multi-family real estate loans in the future.

One- to Four-Family Residential Real Estate Lending.   The focus of our lending program has historically been the origination and retention in our portfolio of one- to four-family residential real estate loans. At December 31, 2013, $34.6 million, or 85.9% of our total loan portfolio, consisted of owner-occupied, one- to four-family residential real estate loans. We do not currently sell any of these loans but, consistent with our business strategy to increase non-interest income and manage interest rate risk, we will consider selling certain newly originated, longer-term (15 years or greater) fixed-rate loans.

 

We originate both fixed-rate and adjustable-rate one- to four-family residential real estate loans. At December 31, 2013, 72.0% of our one- to four-family residential real estate loans were fixed-rate loans, and 28.0% of such loans were adjustable-rate loans.

 

Because we have not historically sold any of the one- to four-family residential real estate loans that we have originated, we have not originated these loans in conformance with either Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac underwriting guidelines. We intend to consider selling certain newly originated, longer-term (15 years or greater), one- to four-family residential real estate loans, in an effort to generate fee income and manage interest rate risk. It is expected that these loans will be underwritten according to Freddie Mac guidelines, and we will refer to loans that conform to such guidelines as “conforming loans.” We expect to originate both fixed- and adjustable-rate mortgage loans conforming to Fannie Mae guidelines in amounts up to the maximum conforming loan limits as established by the Federal Housing Finance Agency for Freddie Mac, which as of December 31, 2013 was generally $417,000 for single-family homes in our market area. We may also originate loans above the lending limit for conforming loans, which we will refer to as “jumbo loans.”

 

Virtually all of our one- to four-family residential real estate loans are secured by properties located in our primary lending area, which we define as the New York Counties of Westchester, Putnam and Rockland.

 

We generally limit the loan-to-value ratios of our mortgage loans to 80% of the sales price or appraised value, whichever is lower.

 

Our fixed-rate one- to four-family residential real estate loans typically have terms of 15 or 30 years.

 

9
Table of Contents

 

Our adjustable-rate one- to four-family residential real estate loans generally have fixed rates for initial terms of three, five or seven years, and adjust annually thereafter at a margin, which in recent years has been 2.50% over the weekly average yield on U.S. treasury securities adjusted to a constant maturity of one year. The maximum amount by which the interest rate may be increased or decreased is generally 2% per adjustment period and the lifetime interest rate cap is generally 6% over the initial interest rate of the loan. Our adjustable-rate loans carry terms to maturity of up to 30 years. Certain of our adjustable-rate loans which were originated prior to 2010 can be adjusted upward but cannot be adjusted below the initial interest rate of the loan.

 

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 ability of the borrower to repay the loan and 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. As a result, the effectiveness of adjustable-rate mortgage loans in compensating for changes in general interest rates may be limited during periods of rapidly rising interest rates.

 

We do not offer “interest only” mortgage loans on permanent one- to four-family residential real estate loans (where the borrower pays interest for an initial period, after which the loan converts to a fully amortizing loan). We also do not offer loans that provide for negative amortization of principal, such as “Option ARM” loans, where the borrower can pay less than the interest owed on the loan, resulting in an increased principal balance during the life of the loan. We do not offer “subprime loans” on one-to four- family residential real estate loans (i.e., loans that generally target borrowers with weakened credit histories typically characterized by payment delinquencies, previous charge-offs, judgments, bankruptcies, or borrowers with questionable repayment capacity as evidenced by low credit scores or high debt-burden ratios), or “Alt-A” (i.e., loans that generally target borrowers with better credit scores who borrow with alternative documentation such as little or no verification of income).

 

Commercial and Multi-Family Real Estate Lending.  Consistent with our strategy to expand our loan products and to enhance the yield and reduce the term to maturity of our loan portfolio, we offer commercial and multi-family real estate loans. At December 31, 2013, we had $4.5 million in commercial and multi-family real estate loans, representing 11.1% of our total loan portfolio. Of this amount, approximately $501,000 was secured by non-owner occupied, one- to four-family residential real estate, which we believe have a similar risk profile as other commercial real estate loans since they are income-producing properties for the borrower. Subject to future economic, market and regulatory conditions, we will seek to increase our originations and purchases of commercial and multi-family real estate loans.

 

Generally, our commercial real estate and multi-family loans, including non-owner occupied, one- to four-family residential real estate loans, have terms of up to 10 years and amortize for a period of up to 25 years. Interest rates may be fixed or adjustable, and if adjustable then they are generally based on the Prime rate of interest.

Table of Contents

 

Almost all of our commercial and multi-family real estate loans are collateralized by office buildings, mixed-use properties and non owner-occupied, one- to four-family residential real estate located in Westchester County, New York.

 

We consider a number of factors in originating commercial and multi-family real estate loans, including non-owner occupied, one- to four-family residential real estate loans. We evaluate the qualifications and financial condition of the borrower, 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, we consider the financial resources of the borrower, the borrower’s experience in owning or managing similar property and the borrower’s payment history with us and other financial institutions. In evaluating the property securing the loan, the factors we consider 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 and multi-family real estate loans are appraised by outside independent appraisers who are approved by the board of directors on an annual basis. Personal guarantees are generally obtained from the principals of commercial and multi-family real estate loans.

 

Commercial and multi-family real estate loans, including non-owner occupied, one- to four-family residential real estate loans, entail greater credit risks compared to owner-occupied one- to four-family residential real estate loans because they typically involve larger loan balances concentrated with single borrowers or groups of related borrowers. In addition, the payment of loans secured by income-producing properties typically depends on the successful operation of the property, as repayment of the loan generally is dependent, in large part, on sufficient income from the property to cover operating expenses and debt service. Changes in economic conditions that are not in the control of the borrower or lender could affect the value of the collateral for the loan or the future cash flow of the property. Additionally, any decline in real estate values may be more pronounced for commercial and multi-family real estate than residential properties.

 

Our loans-to-one borrower limit is 15% of Sunnyside Federal’s unimpaired capital, which limit was $1.9 million at December 31, 2013. We generally target commercial and multi-family real estate loans with balances of up to the lesser of $1,500,000 or our legal lending limit. At December 31, 2013, our average commercial real estate loan had a balance of $405,000. At that same date, our largest commercial real estate relationship totaled $824,000 and was performing in accordance with its repayment terms.

 

Home Equity Lines of Credit.  We offer home equity lines of credit secured by a first or second mortgage on residential property. Home equity lines of credit are made with adjustable rates, and with combined loan-to-value ratios of up to 80% on an owner-occupied principal residence.

 

Home equity lines of credit are generally underwritten using the same criteria that we use to underwrite one- to four-family residential real estate loans. Home equity lines of credit may be underwritten with a loan-to-value ratio of up to 80% when combined with the principal balance of the existing first mortgage loan. Generally, our home equity lines of credit are originated with adjustable-rates based on the floating prime rate of interest and require interest

paid monthly during the first five years and principal and interest for an additional 10 years. Home equity lines of credit are available in amounts of up to $250,000.

 

Home equity lines of credit have greater risk than one- to four-family residential real estate loans secured by first mortgages. We face the risk that the collateral will be insufficient to compensate us for loan losses and costs of foreclosure. When customers default on their loans, we attempt to foreclose on the property and resell the property as soon as possible to minimize foreclosure and carrying costs. However, the value of the collateral may not be sufficient to compensate us for the amount of the unpaid loan and we may be unsuccessful in recovering the remaining balance from those customers. Decreases in real estate values could adversely affect the value of property used as collateral for our loans.

 

At December 31, 2013, the average loan balance of our outstanding home equity lines of credit was $138,000, and the largest outstanding balance of any such loan was $225,000. This loan was performing in accordance with its repayment terms at December 31, 2013.

 

We have deemphasized home equity lines of credit in recent years and do not expect to emphasize this type of lending in the current interest rate environment.

 

Other Loans.  To a much lesser extent, we offer a variety of other loans to individuals who reside or work in our market area, the majority of which are secured by passbook savings accounts and other collateral, including marketable securities. At December 31, 2013, other loans totaled $544,000, or 1.3%, of our loan portfolio.

 

Other loans generally have shorter terms to maturity, which reduces our exposure to changes in interest rates. In addition, management believes that offering other loan products helps to expand and create stronger ties to our existing customer base by increasing the number of customer relationships and providing cross-marketing opportunities.

 

Other loans generally have greater risk compared to longer-term loans secured by one- to four-family residential real estate loans.

 

Loan Originations, Participations, Purchases and Sales.   Our loan originations are generated by our loan personnel operating at our banking office. All loans we originate are underwritten pursuant to our policies and procedures. While we originate both fixed-rate and adjustable-rate loans, our ability to generate each type of loan depends upon relative borrower demand and the pricing levels as set in the local marketplace by competing banks, thrifts, credit unions, and mortgage banking companies. Our volume of real estate loan originations is influenced significantly by market interest rates, and, accordingly, the volume of our real estate loan originations can vary from period to period.

 

We have historically retained all of our loans in portfolio, but it is our intention, subject to favorable market conditions, to consider selling certain newly originated, longer-term (15 years or greater), fixed-rate one - to four-family residential real estate loans.

 

We have, on occasion, purchased loans, including commercial real estate and one- to four-family residential real estate loans, and at December 31, 2013, purchased loans accounted for $4.4 million of our total loan portfolio. We will opportunistically seek to purchase whole or

Loan Approval Procedures and Authority.   Pursuant to applicable law, the aggregate amount of loans that we are permitted to make to any one borrower or a group of related borrowers is generally limited to 15% of Sunnyside Federal’s unimpaired capital and surplus (25% if the amount in excess of 15% is secured by “readily marketable collateral” or 30% for certain residential development loans). At December 31, 2013, our largest credit relationship totaled $824,000 and was secured by commercial real estate. At December 31, 2013 this one loan was performing in accordance with its terms. Our second largest relationship at this date was a $784,000 loan secured by one to four family residential real estate that was performing in accordance with its terms.

 

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.

 

All commercial and multi-family real estate loans require approval from our board of directors. Our credit committee which is comprised of our president and chief executive officer, our chief financial officer and one outside director, has approval authority of up to $500,000 for one- to four-family residential real estate loans and up to $75,000 for home equity lines of credit.

Generally, we require title insurance on our mortgage loans 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. We also require flood insurance if the improved property is determined to be in a flood zone area.

 

Collection Procedures.  When a residential mortgage borrower fails to make required payments on a loan, we take a number of steps to induce the borrower to cure the delinquency and restore the loan to current status. With respect to residential real estate loans, we generally send a written notice of non-payment to the borrower 15, 30, 60 and 90 days after a loan is first past due. When a loan becomes 90 days past due, the loan is turned over to our attorneys to ensure that further collection activities are conducted in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. All loans past due 90 days are put on non-accrual and reported to the board of directors monthly. If our attorneys do not receive a response from the borrower, or if the terms of any payment plan established are not followed, then foreclosure proceedings will be implemented. Management submits an Asset Classification Report detailing delinquencies to the board of directors on a monthly basis.

 

Delinquent Loans.   The following table sets forth certain information regarding delinquencies in our loan portfolio.

For the year ended December 31, 2013, gross interest income that would have been recorded had our non-accruing loans been current in accordance with their original terms was $18,500 Interest income recognized on such loans for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $6,400.

 

Non-performing loans totaled $369,000 and $0 at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

 

At December 31, 2013, we had two real estate loans totaling $639,000 that were categorized as special mention. Both loans are seasoned, and at December 31, 2013 were adequately collateralized and were current, but management deems them special mention due to one of the borrower’s cash flows and a lack of current financial information with respect to the other borrower.

 

Classified AssetsFederal regulations require that each insured savings institution classify its assets on a regular basis. In addition, in connection with examinations of insured institutions, federal examiners have authority to identify problem assets and, if appropriate,

 

15
Table of Contents

 

classify them. There are three classifications for problem assets: “substandard,” “doubtful” and “loss.” Substandard assets have one or more defined weaknesses and are characterized by the distinct possibility that the insured institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Doubtful assets have the weaknesses of substandard assets with the additional characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values questionable, and there is a higher possibility of loss. An asset classified as a loss is considered uncollectible and of such little value that continuance as an asset of the institution is not warranted. Another category designated “special mention” also may be established and maintained for assets which do not currently expose an insured institution to a sufficient degree of risk to warrant classification as substandard, doubtful or loss. If a classified asset is deemed to be impaired with measurement of loss, Sunnyside Federal will establish a charge-off of the loan pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification Topic 310, “Receivables.”

 

The following table sets forth information regarding classified assets and special mention assets at December 31, 2013 and 2012.

Potential problem loans are loans that are currently performing and are not included in non-accrual loans above, but may be delinquent. These loans require an increased level of management attention, because we have serious doubts as to the ability of the borrower to comply with the present loan repayment terms and as a result such loans may be included at a later date in non-accrual loans. At December 31, 2013, we had no potential problem loans that are not accounted for above under “ – Classified Assets.” Please see “ – Non-Performing Assets” above for a discussion of our special mention loans at December 31, 2013.

 

Allowance for Loan Losses.  We maintain the allowance through provisions for loan losses that we charge to income. We charge losses on loans against the allowance for loan losses when we believe the collection of loan principal is unlikely. Recoveries on loans charged-off are restored to the allowance for loan losses. The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level believed, to the best of management’s knowledge, to cover all known and inherent losses in the portfolio both probable and reasonable to estimate at each reporting date. The level of allowance for loan losses is based on management’s periodic review of the collectability of the loans principally in light of our historical experience, augmented by 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 current and anticipated economic conditions in the primary lending area. We evaluate our allowance for loan losses quarterly. We have not made any changes to the external factors in the calculation during the year as we believe the local economy has stabilized. We will continue to monitor all items involved in the allowance calculation closely.

Table of Contents

 

In addition, the regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination and review process, periodically review our loan portfolios and the related allowance for loan losses. Regulatory agencies may require us to increase the allowance for loan losses based on their judgments of information available to them at the time of their examination, thereby adversely affecting our results of operations.

 

We recorded a $25,000 provision for 2013 and no provision for loan losses for 2012. The allowance for loan losses was $340,000, or 0.8% of total loans, at December 31, 2013, compared to $314,000, or 0.8% of total loans, at December 31, 2012. At both dates, the level of our allowance reflects management’s view of the risks inherent in the loan portfolio and high level of asset quality and the fact that we had no non-performing loans at these dates. Consistent with our business strategy, we intend to increase our originations of commercial and multi-family real estate and commercial loans. These types of loans generally bear higher risk than our one- to four-family residential real estate loans. Accordingly we would expect to increase our allowance for loans losses in the future as the balance of these types of loans increase in our portfolio.

Securities Activities

 

General.  Our investment policy is established by the board of directors. The objectives of the policy are to: (i) ensure adequate liquidity for loan demand and deposit fluctuations, and to allow us to alter our liquidity position to meet both day-to-day and long-term changes in assets and liabilities; (ii) manage interest rate risk in accordance with our interest rate risk policy; (iii) provide collateral for pledging requirements; (iv) maximize return on our investments; and (v) maintain a balance of high quality diversified investments to minimize risk.

 

Our investment committee, consisting of our President and Chief Executive Officer, our Chief Financial Officer and one outside director, is responsible for implementing our investment policy, including approval of investment strategies and monitoring investment performance. Our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer are each authorized to execute purchases or sales of securities of up to $2.0 million. The board of directors regularly reviews our investment strategies and the market value of our investment portfolio.

 

We account for investment and mortgage-backed securities in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 320, “Investments - Debt and Equity Securities.” Accounting Standards Codification 320 requires that investments be categorized as held-to maturity, trading, or available for sale. Our decision to classify certain of our securities as available-for-sale is based on our need to meet daily liquidity needs and to take advantage of profits that may occur from time to time.

 

Federally chartered savings institutions have authority to invest in various types of assets, including government-sponsored enterprise obligations, securities of various federal agencies, residential mortgage-backed securities, certain certificates of deposit of insured financial institutions, overnight and short-term loans to other banks, corporate debt instruments, debt instruments of municipalities and Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac equity securities. At December 31, 2013, our investment portfolio consisted of securities and mortgage-backed securities issued by U.S. Government agencies or U.S. Government-sponsored enterprises and state and political

subdivisions. At December 31, 2013, we owned $134,600 in Federal Home Loan Bank of New York stock. As a member of Federal Home Loan Bank of New York, we are required to purchase stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York. At December 31, 2013, we had no investments in a single company or entity (other than an agency of the U.S. Government or a U.S. Government-sponsored enterprise) that had an aggregate book value in excess of 10% of our equity.

Sources of Funds

 

General. Deposits, scheduled amortization and prepayments of loan principal, maturities and calls of securities and funds provided by operations are our primary sources of funds for use in lending, investing and for other general purposes. We historically have not used Federal Home Loan Bank advances to fund our operations, and we had no such advances as of December 31, 2013 or 2012.

 

Deposits. We offer deposit products having a range of interest rates and terms. We currently offer statement savings accounts, NOW accounts, noninterest-bearing demand accounts, money market accounts and certificates of deposit. Our strategic plan includes a greater emphasis on developing commercial business activities, both deposit and lending customer relationships.

 

Deposit flows are significantly influenced by general and local economic conditions, changes in prevailing interest rates, internal pricing decisions and competition. Our deposits are primarily obtained from areas surrounding our branch offices. In order to attract and retain deposits we rely on paying competitive interest rates and providing quality service.

 

The flow of deposits is influenced significantly by general economic conditions, changes in money market and other prevailing interest rates and competition. Our deposits are primarily obtained from areas surrounding our office. In order to attract and retain deposits we rely on paying competitive interest rates and providing quality service. Based on experience, we believe that our deposits are relatively stable. However, the ability to attract and maintain deposits and the rates paid on these deposits, has been and will continue to be significantly affected by market conditions. At December 31, 2013, $32.6 million, or 41.8% of our total deposit accounts were certificates of deposit, of which $19.4 million had maturities of one year or less.

REGULATION AND SUPERVISION

 

General

 

As a federal savings association, Sunnyside Federal is subject to examination and regulation by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, and is also subject to examination by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The federal system of regulation and supervision establishes a comprehensive framework of activities in which Sunnyside Federal may engage and is intended primarily for the protection of depositors and the FDIC’s Deposit Insurance Fund.

 

Sunnyside Federal also is regulated to a lesser extent by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, or the “Federal Reserve Board”, which governs the reserves to be maintained against deposits and other matters. In addition, Sunnyside Federal is a member of and owns stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York, which is one of the twelve regional banks in the Federal Home Loan Bank System. Sunnyside Federal’s relationship with its depositors and borrowers also is regulated to a great extent by federal law and, to a lesser extent, state law, including in matters concerning the ownership of deposit accounts and the form and content of Sunnyside Federal’s loan documents.

 

As a savings and loan holding company, Sunnyside Bancorp is subject to examination and supervision by, and is required to file certain reports with, the Federal Reserve Board. Sunnyside Bancorp is also subject to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission under the federal securities laws.

 

Set forth below are certain material regulatory requirements that are applicable to Sunnyside Federal and Sunnyside Bancorp. This description of statutes and regulations is not intended to be a complete description of such statutes and regulations and their effects on Sunnyside Federal and Sunnyside Bancorp. Any change in these laws or regulations, whether by

 

23
Table of Contents

 

Congress or the applicable regulatory agencies, could have a material adverse impact on Sunnyside Bancorp, Sunnyside Federal and their operations.

 

Dodd-Frank Act

 

The Dodd Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) has changed the bank regulatory structure and affected the lending, investment, trading and operating activities of financial institutions and their holding companies. The Dodd-Frank Act eliminated our former primary federal regulator, the Office of Thrift Supervision, and required Sunnyside Federal to be regulated by the OCC (the primary federal regulator for national banks). The Dodd-Frank Act also authorizes the Federal Reserve Board to supervise and regulate all savings and loan holding companies like Sunnyside Bancorp, in addition to bank holding companies, which it regulates. As a result, the Federal Reserve Board’s regulations applicable to bank holding companies, including holding company capital requirements, apply to savings and loan holding companies like Sunnyside Bancorp, unless an exemption exists. These capital requirements are substantially similar to the capital requirements currently applicable to Sunnyside Federal, as described in “ – Federal Banking Regulation – Capital Requirements.” The Dodd-Frank Act also requires the Federal Reserve Board to set minimum capital levels for bank holding companies that are as stringent as those required for the insured depository subsidiaries, and the components of Tier 1 capital are restricted to capital instruments that are currently considered to be Tier 1 capital for insured depository institutions. Bank holding companies with assets of less than $500 million are exempt from these capital requirements. Under the Dodd-Frank Act, the proceeds of trust preferred securities are excluded from Tier 1 capital unless such securities were issued prior to May 19, 2010 by bank or savings and loan holding companies with less than $15 billion of assets. The legislation also establishes a floor for capital of insured depository institutions that cannot be lower than the standards in effect today, and directs the federal banking regulators to implement new leverage and capital requirements within 18 months that take into account off-balance sheet activities and other risks, including risks relating to securitized products and derivatives.

 

Federal Banking Regulation

 

Business Activities. A federal savings association derives its lending and investment powers from the Home Owners’ Loan Act, as amended, and applicable federal regulations. Under these laws and regulations, Sunnyside Federal may invest in mortgage loans secured by residential and commercial real estate, commercial business and consumer loans, certain types of debt securities and certain other assets, subject to applicable limits. The Dodd-Frank Act authorized, for the first time, the payment of interest on commercial checking accounts, effective July 21, 2011. Sunnyside Federal may also establish subsidiaries that may engage in certain activities not otherwise permissible for Sunnyside Federal, including real estate investment and securities and insurance brokerage.

 

Capital Requirements. Federal regulations require savings associations to meet three minimum capital standards: a 1.5% tangible capital ratio, a 4% core capital to assets leverage ratio (3% for savings associations receiving the highest rating on the CAMELS rating system), and an 8% risk-based capital ratio.

 

24
Table of Contents

 

The risk-based capital standard for savings associations requires the maintenance of Tier 1 (core) and total capital (which is defined as core capital and supplementary capital) to risk-weighted assets of at least 4% and 8%, respectively. In determining the amount of risk-weighted assets, all assets, including certain off-balance sheet assets, are multiplied by a risk-weight factor of 0% to 200%, assigned by the regulations, based on the risks believed inherent in the type of asset. Core capital is defined as common stockholders’ equity (including retained earnings), certain noncumulative perpetual preferred stock and related surplus and minority interests in equity accounts of consolidated subsidiaries, less intangibles other than certain mortgage servicing rights and credit card relationships. The components of supplementary capital include cumulative preferred stock, long-term perpetual preferred stock, mandatory convertible securities, subordinated debt and intermediate preferred stock, the allowance for loan and lease losses limited to a maximum of 1.25% of risk-weighted assets and up to 45% of net unrealized gains on available-for-sale equity securities with readily determinable fair market values. Overall, the amount of supplementary capital included as part of total capital cannot exceed 100% of core capital. Additionally, a savings association that retains credit risk in connection with an asset sale is required to maintain additional regulatory capital because of the purchaser’s recourse against the savings association. In assessing an institution’s capital adequacy, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency takes into consideration not only these numeric factors, but qualitative factors as well and has the authority to establish higher capital requirements for individual associations where necessary.

 

At December 31, 2013, Sunnyside Federal’s capital exceeded all applicable requirements. See “Historical and Pro Forma Regulatory Capital Compliance.”

 

In July 2013, the OCC and the other federal bank regulatory agencies issued a final rule that will revise their leverage and risk-based capital requirements and the method for calculating risk-weighted assets to make them consistent with agreements that were reached by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision and certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act. The final rule applies to all depository institutions, top-tier bank holding companies with total consolidated assets of $500 million or more and top-tier savings and loan holding companies. Among other things, the rule establishes a new common equity Tier 1 minimum capital requirement (4.5% of risk-weighted assets), increases the minimum Tier 1 capital to risk-based assets requirement (from 4% to 6% of risk-weighted assets) and assigns a higher risk weight (150%) to exposures that are more than 90 days past due or are on nonaccrual status and to certain commercial real estate facilities that finance the acquisition, development or construction of real property. The final rule also requires unrealized gains and losses on certain “available-for-sale” securities holdings to be included for purposes of calculating regulatory capital requirements unless a one-time opt-in or opt-out is exercised. The rule limits a banking organization’s capital distributions and certain discretionary bonus payments if the banking organization does not hold a “capital conservation buffer” consisting of 2.5% of common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets in addition to the amount necessary to meet its minimum risk-based capital requirements. The final rule becomes effective for the Bank on January 1, 2015. The capital conservation buffer requirement will be phased in beginning January 1, 2016 and ending January 1, 2019, when the full capital conservation buffer requirement will be effective.

 

Loans-to-One Borrower.   Generally, a federal savings association may not make a loan or extend credit to a single or related group of borrowers in excess of 15% of unimpaired capital

 

25
Table of Contents

 

and surplus. An additional amount may be loaned, equal to 10% of unimpaired capital and surplus, if the loan is secured by readily marketable collateral, which generally does not include real estate. As of December 31, 2013, Sunnyside Federal was in compliance with the loans-to-one borrower limitations.

 

Qualified Thrift Lender Test.  As a federal savings association, Sunnyside Federal must satisfy the qualified thrift lender, or “QTL,” test. Under the QTL test, Sunnyside Federal must maintain at least 65% of its “portfolio assets” in “qualified thrift investments” (primarily residential mortgages and related investments, including mortgage-backed securities) in at least nine months of the most recent 12-month period. “Portfolio assets” generally means total assets of a savings association, less the sum of specified liquid assets up to 20% of total assets, goodwill and other intangible assets, and the value of property used in the conduct of the savings association’s business.

 

Sunnyside Federal also may satisfy the QTL test by qualifying as a “domestic building and loan association” as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

 

A savings association that fails the qualified thrift lender test must operate under specified restrictions set forth in the Home Owners’ Loan Act. The Dodd-Frank Act made noncompliance with the QTL test subject to agency enforcement action for a violation of law. At December 31, 2013, Sunnyside Federal satisfied the QTL test.

 

Capital Distributions.   Federal regulations govern capital distributions by a federal savings association, which include cash dividends, stock repurchases and other transactions charged to the savings association’s capital account. A federal savings association must file an application for approval of a capital distribution if:

 

·the total capital distributions for the applicable calendar year exceed the sum of the savings association’s net income for that year to date plus the savings association’s retained net income for the preceding two years;

 

·the savings association would not be at least adequately capitalized following the distribution;

 

·the distribution would violate any applicable statute, regulation, agreement or regulatory condition; or

 

·the savings association is not eligible for expedited treatment of its filings.

 

Even if an application is not otherwise required, every savings association that is a subsidiary of a savings and loan holding company, such as Sunnyside Federal, must still file a notice with the Federal Reserve Board at least 30 days before the board of directors declares a dividend or approves a capital distribution.

 

A notice or application related to a capital distribution may be disapproved if:

 

·the federal savings association would be undercapitalized following the distribution;

 

26
Table of Contents

 

·the proposed capital distribution raises safety and soundness concerns; or

 

·the capital distribution would violate a prohibition contained in any statute, regulation or agreement.

 

In addition, the Federal Deposit Insurance Act provides that an insured depository institution shall not make any capital distribution if, after making such distribution, the institution would fail to meet any applicable regulatory capital requirement. A federal savings association also may not make a capital distribution that would reduce its regulatory capital below the amount required for the liquidation account established in connection with its conversion to stock form.

 

Community Reinvestment Act and Fair Lending Laws.   All federal savings associations have a responsibility under the Community Reinvestment Act and related regulations to help meet the credit needs of their communities, including low- and moderate-income borrowers. In connection with its examination of a federal savings association, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency is required to assess the federal savings association’s record of compliance with the Community Reinvestment Act. A savings association’s failure to comply with the provisions of the Community Reinvestment Act could, at a minimum, result in denial of certain corporate applications such as branches or mergers, or in restrictions on its activities. In addition, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act and the Fair Housing Act prohibit lenders from discriminating in their lending practices on the basis of characteristics specified in those statutes. The failure to comply with the Equal Credit Opportunity Act and the Fair Housing Act could result in enforcement actions by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, as well as other federal regulatory agencies and the Department of Justice.

 

The Community Reinvestment Act requires all institutions insured by the FDIC to publicly disclose their rating. Sunnyside Federal received a “satisfactory” Community Reinvestment Act rating in its most recent federal examination.

 

Transactions with Related Parties.   A federal savings association’s authority to engage in transactions with its affiliates is limited by Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act and federal regulation. An affiliate is generally a company that controls, or is under common control with an insured depository institution such as Sunnyside Federal. Sunnyside Bancorp will be an affiliate of Sunnyside Federal because of its control of Sunnyside Federal. In general, transactions between an insured depository institution and its affiliates are subject to certain quantitative limits and collateral requirements. In addition, federal regulations prohibit a savings association from lending to any of its affiliates that are engaged in activities that are not permissible for bank holding companies and from purchasing the securities of any affiliate, other than a subsidiary. Finally, transactions with affiliates must be consistent with safe and sound banking practices, not involve the purchase of low-quality assets and be on terms that are as favorable to the institution as comparable transactions with non-affiliates. Federal regulations require savings associations to maintain detailed records of all transactions with affiliates.

 

Sunnyside Federal’s authority to extend credit to its directors, executive officers and 10% stockholders, as well as to entities controlled by such persons, is currently governed by the requirements of Sections 22(g) and 22(h) of the Federal Reserve Act and Regulation O of the

 

27
Table of Contents

 

 

Federal Reserve Board. Among other things, these provisions generally require that extensions of credit to insiders:

 

·be made on terms that are substantially the same as, and follow credit underwriting procedures that are not less stringent than, those prevailing for comparable transactions with unaffiliated persons and that do not involve more than the normal risk of repayment or present other unfavorable features; and

 

·not exceed certain limitations on the amount of credit extended to such persons, individually and in the aggregate, which limits are based, in part, on the amount of Sunnyside Federal’s capital.

 

In addition, extensions of credit in excess of certain limits must be approved by Sunnyside Federal’s board of directors. Extensions of credit to executive officers are subject to additional limits based on the type of extension involved.

 

Enforcement.  The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency has primary enforcement responsibility over federal savings associations and has authority to bring enforcement action against all “institution-affiliated parties,” including directors, officers, stockholders, attorneys, appraisers and accountants who knowingly or recklessly participate in wrongful action likely to have an adverse effect on a federal savings association. Formal enforcement action by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency may range from the issuance of a capital directive or cease and desist order to removal of officers and/or directors of the institution and the appointment of a receiver or conservator. Civil penalties cover a wide range of violations and actions, and range up to $25,000 per day, unless a finding of reckless disregard is made, in which case penalties may be as high as $1 million per day. The FDIC also has the authority to terminate deposit insurance or recommend to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency that enforcement action be taken with respect to a particular savings association. If such action is not taken, the FDIC has authority to take the action under specified circumstances.

 

Standards for Safety and Soundness.   Federal law requires each federal banking agency to prescribe certain standards for all insured depository institutions. These standards relate to, among other things, internal controls, information systems and audit systems, loan documentation, credit underwriting, interest rate risk exposure, asset growth, compensation and other operational and managerial standards as the agency deems appropriate. Interagency guidelines set forth the safety and soundness standards that the federal banking agencies use to identify and address problems at insured depository institutions before capital becomes impaired. If the appropriate federal banking agency determines that an institution fails to meet any standard prescribed by the guidelines, the agency may require the institution to submit to the agency an acceptable plan to achieve compliance with the standard. If an institution fails to meet these standards, the appropriate federal banking agency may require the institution to implement an acceptable compliance plan. Failure to implement such a plan can result in further enforcement action, including the issuance of a cease and desist order or the imposition of civil money penalties.

 

Prompt Corrective Action Regulations.   Under the Federal Prompt Corrective Action statute, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency is required to take supervisory actions

 

28
Table of Contents

 

against undercapitalized savings institutions under its jurisdiction, the severity of which depends upon the institution’s level of capital. A savings institution that has total risk-based capital of less than 8% or a leverage ratio or a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio that generally is less than 4% is considered to be undercapitalized. A savings institution that has total risk-based capital less than 6%, a Tier 1 core risk-based capital ratio of less than 3% or a leverage ratio that is less than 3% is considered to be “significantly undercapitalized.” A savings institution that has a tangible capital to assets ratio equal to or less than 2% is deemed to be “critically undercapitalized.”

 

Generally, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency is required to appoint a receiver or conservator for a savings association that is “critically undercapitalized” within specific time frames. The regulations also provide that a capital restoration plan must be filed with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency within 45 days of the date that a federal savings association is deemed to have received notice that it is “undercapitalized,” “significantly undercapitalized” or “critically undercapitalized.” Any holding company of a federal savings association that is required to submit a capital restoration plan must guarantee performance under the plan in an amount of up to the lesser of 5% of the savings association’s assets at the time it was deemed to be undercapitalized by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency or the amount necessary to restore the savings association to adequately capitalized status. This guarantee remains in place until the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency notifies the savings association that it has maintained adequately capitalized status for each of four consecutive calendar quarters. Institutions that are undercapitalized become subject to certain mandatory measures such as a restrictions on capital distributions and asset growth. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency may also take any one of a number of discretionary supervisory actions against undercapitalized federal savings associations, including the issuance of a capital directive and the replacement of senior executive officers and directors.

 

At December 31, 2013, Sunnyside Federal met the criteria for being considered “well capitalized.”

 

Insurance of Deposit Accounts.   The Deposit Insurance Fund (“DIF”) of the FDIC insures deposits at FDIC-insured depository institutions, such as Sunnyside Federal. Deposit accounts in Sunnyside Federal are insured by the FDIC, generally up to a maximum of $250,000 per separately insured depositor and up to a maximum of $250,000 for self-directed retirement accounts.

 

The FDIC charges insured depository institutions premiums to maintain the DIF. Under the FDIC’s risk-based assessment system, insured institutions are assigned to one of four risk categories based on supervisory evaluations, regulatory capital levels, and certain other risk factors. Rates are based on each institution’s risk category and certain specified risk adjustments. Stronger institutions pay lower rates while riskier institutions pay higher rates. Assessment rates range from 2.5 to 45 basis points of an institution’s total assets less tangible capital.

 

The Dodd-Frank Act increased the minimum target ratio for the DIF from 1.15% of estimated insured deposits to 1.35% of estimated insured deposits. The FDIC must seek to achieve the 1.35% ratio by September 30, 2020. Insured institutions with assets of $10 billion or more are supposed to fund the increase. The Dodd-Frank Act eliminated the 1.5% maximum

 

29
Table of Contents

 

fund ratio, instead leaving it to the discretion of the FDIC, and the FDIC has exercised that discretion by establishing a long-term fund ratio of 2%.

 

In addition to the FDIC assessments, the Financing Corporation (“FICO”) is authorized to impose and collect, with the approval of the FDIC, assessments for anticipated payments, issuance costs, and custodial fees on bonds issued by the FICO in the 1980s to recapitalize the former Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation. The bonds issued by the FICO are due to mature in 2017 through 2019. For the quarter ended December 31, 2013, the annualized FICO assessment was equal to 65 basis points of an institution's total assets less tangible capital.

 

Insurance of deposits may be terminated by the FDIC upon a finding that an institution has engaged in unsafe or unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations, or has violated any applicable law, regulation, rule, order, or condition imposed by the FDIC. Sunnyside Federal does not know of any practice, condition, or violation that could lead to termination of its deposit insurance.

 

Prohibitions Against Tying Arrangements.   Federal savings associations are prohibited, subject to some exceptions, from extending credit to or offering any other service, or fixing or varying the consideration for such extension of credit or service, on the condition that the customer obtain some additional service from the institution or its affiliates or not obtain services of a competitor of the institution.

 

Federal Home Loan Bank System.   Sunnyside Federal is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank System, which consists of 12 regional Federal Home Loan Banks. The Federal Home Loan Bank System provides a central credit facility primarily for member institutions as well as other entities involved in home mortgage lending. As a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York, Sunnyside Federal is required to acquire and hold shares of capital stock in the Federal Home Loan Bank. As of December 31, 2013, Sunnyside Federal was in compliance with this requirement. While Sunnyside Federal’s ability to borrow from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York provides an additional source of liquidity, Sunnyside Federal has historically not used advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank to fund its operations.

 

Other Regulations

 

Interest and other charges collected or contracted for by Sunnyside Federal are subject to state usury laws and federal laws concerning interest rates. Sunnyside Federal’s operations are also subject to federal laws applicable to credit transactions, such as the:

 

·Truth-In-Lending Act, governing disclosures of credit terms to consumer borrowers;

 

·Home Mortgage Disclosure Act, requiring financial institutions to provide information to enable the public and public officials to determine whether a financial institution is fulfilling its obligation to help meet the housing needs of the community it serves;

 

·Equal Credit Opportunity Act, prohibiting discrimination on the basis of race, creed or other prohibited factors in extending credit;

 

30
Table of Contents

 

·Fair Credit Reporting Act, governing the use and provision of information to credit reporting agencies;

 

·Fair Debt Collection Act, governing the manner in which consumer debts may be collected by collection agencies;

 

·Truth in Savings Act; and

 

·rules and regulations of the various federal agencies charged with the responsibility of implementing such federal laws.

 

The operations of Sunnyside Federal also are subject to the:

 

·Right to Financial Privacy Act, which imposes a duty to maintain confidentiality of consumer financial records and prescribes procedures for complying with administrative subpoenas of financial records;

 

·Electronic Funds Transfer Act and Regulation E promulgated thereunder, which govern automatic deposits to and withdrawals from deposit accounts and customers’ rights and liabilities arising from the use of automated teller machines and other electronic banking services;

 

·Check Clearing for the 21st Century Act (also known as “Check 21”), which gives “substitute checks,” such as digital check images and copies made from that image, the same legal standing as the original paper check;

 

·The USA PATRIOT Act, which requires savings associations to, among other things, establish broadened anti-money laundering compliance programs, and due diligence policies and controls to ensure the detection and reporting of money laundering. Such required compliance programs are intended to supplement existing compliance requirements that also apply to financial institutions under the Association Secrecy Act and the Office of Foreign Assets Control regulations; and

 

·The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, which places limitations on the sharing of consumer financial information by financial institutions with unaffiliated third parties. Specifically, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act requires all financial institutions offering financial products or services to retail customers to provide such customers with the financial institution’s privacy policy and provide such customers the opportunity to “opt out” of the sharing of certain personal financial information with unaffiliated third parties.

 

Holding Company Regulation

 

General. Sunnyside Bancorp is a non-diversified savings and loan holding company within the meaning of the Home Owners’ Loan Act. As such, Sunnyside Bancorp is registered with the Federal Reserve Board and is subject to regulations, examinations, supervision and

 

31
Table of Contents

 

reporting requirements applicable to savings and loan holding companies. In addition, the Federal Reserve Board has enforcement authority over Sunnyside Bancorp and its non-savings institution subsidiaries. Among other things, this authority permits the Federal Reserve Board to restrict or prohibit activities that are determined to be a serious risk to the subsidiary savings institution.

 

Permissible Activities. The business activities of Sunnyside Bancorp are generally limited to those activities permissible for financial holding companies under Section 4(k) of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, provided certain conditions are met, or for multiple savings and loan holding companies. A financial holding company may engage in activities that are financial in nature, including underwriting equity securities and insurance as well as activities that are incidental to financial activities or complementary to a financial activity. A multiple savings and loan holding company is generally limited to activities permissible for bank holding companies under Section 4(c)(8) of the Bank Holding Company Act, subject to regulatory approval, and certain additional activities authorized by federal regulations.

 

Federal law prohibits a savings and loan holding company, including Sunnyside Bancorp, directly or indirectly, or through one or more subsidiaries, from acquiring more than 5% of another savings institution or holding company thereof, without prior regulatory approval. It also prohibits the acquisition or retention of, with certain exceptions, more than 5% of a non-subsidiary company engaged in activities that are not closely related to banking or financial in nature, or acquiring or retaining control of an institution that is not federally insured. In evaluating applications by holding companies to acquire savings institutions, the Federal Reserve Board must consider the financial and managerial resources, future prospects of the company and institution involved, the effect of the acquisition on the risk to the federal deposit insurance fund, the convenience and needs of the community and competitive factors.

 

The Federal Reserve Board is prohibited from approving any acquisition that would result in a multiple savings and loan holding company controlling savings institutions in more than one state, subject to two exceptions:

 

·the approval of interstate supervisory acquisitions by savings and loan holding companies; and

 

·the acquisition of a savings institution in another state if the laws of the state of the target savings institution specifically permit such acquisition.

 

The states vary in the extent to which they permit interstate savings and loan holding company acquisitions.

 

Capital. Savings and loan holding companies are not currently subject to specific regulatory capital requirements. The Dodd-Frank Act, however, requires the Federal Reserve Board to promulgate consolidated capital requirements for depository institution holding companies that are no less stringent, both quantitatively and in terms of components of capital,

 

32
Table of Contents

 

than those applicable to institutions themselves. Instruments such as cumulative preferred stock and trust preferred securities will no longer be includable as Tier 1 capital, which is currently permitted for bank holding companies. Instruments that were issued by May 19, 2010 are grandfathered in for companies with consolidated assets of $15 billion or less. There is a five-year transition period (from the July 21, 2010 effective date of the Dodd-Frank Act) before the capital requirements will apply to savings and loan holding companies. The Dodd-Frank Act contains an exception for bank holding companies of less than $500 million in assets, but it is uncertain at this time whether the exception will apply to similarly sized savings and loan holding companies.

 

Source of Strength.   The Dodd-Frank Act extended the “source of strength” doctrine to savings and loan holding companies. The regulatory agencies must issue regulations requiring that all Association and savings and loan holding companies serve as a source of strength to their subsidiary depository institutions by providing capital, liquidity and other support in times of financial stress.

 

Dividends.   Sunnyside Federal is required to notify the Federal Reserve Board thirty days before declaring any dividend to Sunnyside Bancorp. The financial impact of a holding company on its subsidiary institution is a matter that is evaluated by the regulator and the agency has authority to order cessation of activities or divestiture of subsidiaries deemed to pose a threat to the safety and soundness of the institution.

 

Acquisition.   Under the Federal Change in Bank Control Act, a notice must be submitted to the Federal Reserve Board if any person (including a company), or group acting in concert, seeks to acquire direct or indirect “control” of a savings and loan holding company. Under certain circumstances, a change of control may occur, and prior notice is required, upon the acquisition of 10% or more of the company’s outstanding voting stock, unless the Federal Reserve Board has found that the acquisition will not result in control of the company. A change in control definitively occurs upon the acquisition of 25% or more of the company’s outstanding voting stock. Under the Change in Bank Control Act, the Federal Reserve Board generally has 60 days from the filing of a complete notice to act, taking into consideration certain factors, including the financial and managerial resources of the acquirer and the competitive effects of the acquisition.

 

Federal Securities Laws

 

Sunnyside Bancorp’s common stock is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Sunnyside Bancorp is subject to the information, proxy solicitation, insider trading restrictions and other requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

 

Emerging Growth Company Status

 

The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the “JOBS Act”), which was enacted in April 2012, has made numerous changes to the federal securities laws to facilitate access to capital markets. Under the JOBS Act, a company with total annual gross revenues of less than $1.0

 

33
Table of Contents

 

billion during its most recently completed fiscal year qualifies as an “emerging growth company.” Sunnyside Bancorp qualifies as an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act.

 

An “emerging growth company” may choose not to hold stockholder votes to approve annual executive compensation (more frequently referred to as “say-on-pay” votes) or executive compensation payable in connection with a merger (more frequently referred to as “say-on-golden parachute” votes). An emerging growth company also is not subject to the requirement that its auditors attest to the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting, and can provide scaled disclosure regarding executive compensation; however, Sunnyside Bancorp will also not be subject to the auditor attestation requirement or additional executive compensation disclosure so long as it remains a “smaller reporting company” under Securities and Exchange Commission regulations (generally less than $75 million of voting and non-voting equity held by non-affiliates). Finally, an emerging growth company may elect to comply with new or amended accounting pronouncements in the same manner as a private company, but must make such election when the company is first required to file a registration statement. Such an election is irrevocable during the period a company is an emerging growth company. Sunnyside Bancorp has elected to comply with new or amended accounting pronouncements in the same manner as a private company.

 

A company loses emerging growth company status on the earlier of: (i) the last day of the fiscal year of the company during which it had total annual gross revenues of $1.0 billion or more; (ii) the last day of the fiscal year of the issuer following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of common equity securities of the company pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933; (iii) the date on which such company has, during the previous three-year period, issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt; or (iv) the date on which such company is deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” under Securities and Exchange Commission regulations (generally, at least $700 million of voting and non-voting equity held by non-affiliates).

 

TAXATION

 

Federal Taxation

 

General.   Sunnyside Bancorp and Sunnyside Federal are subject to federal income taxation in the same general manner as other corporations, with some exceptions discussed below. The following discussion of federal taxation is intended only to summarize material federal income tax matters and is not a comprehensive description of the tax rules applicable to Sunnyside Bancorp and Sunnyside Federal.

 

Method of Accounting.   For federal income tax purposes, Sunnyside Federal currently reports its income and expenses on the accrual method of accounting and uses a tax year ending December 31st for filing its federal income tax returns. The Small Business Protection Act of 1996 eliminated the use of the reserve method of accounting for bad debt reserves by savings institutions, effective for taxable years beginning after 1995.

Minimum Tax.   The Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, imposes an alternative minimum tax at a rate of 20% on a base of regular taxable income plus certain tax preferences, less an exemption amount, referred to as “alternative minimum taxable income.” The alternative minimum tax is payable to the extent tax computed this way exceeds tax computed by applying the regular tax rates to regular taxable income. Net operating losses can, in general, offset no more than 90% of alternative minimum taxable income. Certain payments of alternative minimum tax may be used as credits against regular tax liabilities in future years. At December 31, 2013, we had no minimum tax credit carryforward.

 

Net Operating Loss Carryovers.   Generally, a financial institution may carry back net operating losses to the preceding two taxable years and forward to the succeeding 20 taxable years. However, as a result of recent legislation, subject to certain limitations, the carryback period for net operating losses incurred in 2008 or 2009 (but not both years) has been expanded to five years. At December 31, 2013, Sunnyside Federal had $797,839 of federal net operating loss carryforwards and $779,765 of New York State net operating loss carryforwards available for future use.

 

Capital Loss Carryovers.   Generally, a financial institution may carry back capital losses to the preceding three taxable years and forward to the succeeding five taxable years. Any capital loss carryback or carryover is treated as a short-term capital loss for the year to which it is carried. As such, it is grouped with any other capital losses for the year to which carried and is used to offset any capital gains. Any undeducted loss remaining after the five year carryover period is not deductible. At December 31, 2013, Sunnyside Federal had a capital loss carryover of $719,639, which will expire during the year ending December 31, 2015. This capital loss carryover was fully reserved for as of December 31, 2013.

 

Corporate Dividends.   We may generally exclude from our income 100% of dividends received from Sunnyside Federal as a member of the same affiliated group of corporations.

 

Audit of Tax Returns.   Sunnyside Federal’s federal income tax returns have been audited for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2012. Audit results concluded that no changes were proposed to the filed returns for each of the two years noted.

 

New York State Taxation

 

Sunnyside Bancorp and Sunnyside Federal report their combined income on a calendar year basis to New York State. New York State franchise tax on corporations is imposed in an amount equal to the greater of: (i) 7.1% of “entire net income” allocable to New York State; (ii) 3% of “alternative entire net income” allocable to New York State; (iii) 0.01% of the average value of assets allocable to New York State; or (iv) nominal minimum tax. Entire net income is based on federal taxable income, subject to certain modifications. Alternative entire net income is equal to entire net income without certain modifications

 

In addition, the companies are subject to a Metropolitan Transportation Business Tax surcharge equal to 17% of New York franchise tax, as calculated with certain adjustments.

On March 12, 2013, the Board of Directors of Sunnyside Federal adopted a plan of conversion (the “Plan”), pursuant to which Sunnyside Federal would convert from the mutual to the stock form of ownership and Sunnyside Bancorp would sell shares of common stock to the public. On March 15, 2013, Sunnyside Bancorp filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (File No. 333-187317) with respect to the shares to be offered and sold pursuant to the Plan. Sunnyside Bancorp registered for offer and sale up to 793,500 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, at a sales price of $10.00 per share. The registration statement was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 14, 2013.

ITEM 7.        Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

This section is intended to help a reader understand the financial performance of Sunnyside Bancorp and its subsidiaries through a discussion of the factors affecting our financial condition at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 and our results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. This section should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes to the consolidated financial statements that appear elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

Overview

 

Sunnyside Federal is a federal savings association that was founded in 1930. Sunnyside Federal conducts business from its full-service banking office located in Irvington, New York which is located in Westchester County, New York approximately 25 miles north of New York City. We consider our deposit market area to be the Westchester County, New York towns of Irvington, Tarrytown, Sleepy Hollow, Hastings, Dobbs Ferry and Ardley-on-Hudson, and consider our lending area to be Westchester, Putnam and Rockland Counties, New York.

 

Our business consists primarily of taking deposits from the general public and investing those deposits, together with funds generated from operations, in one- to four-family residential real estate loans and commercial and multi-family real estate loans, and, to a much more limited extent, home equity lines of credit and other loans (consisting primarily of loans secured by deposits and marketable securities). At December 31, 2013, $34.6 million, or 85.9%, of our total loan portfolio was comprised of owner-occupied, one-to four family residential real estate loans.

 

As a result of our strict, quality-oriented underwriting and credit monitoring processes, at December 31, 2013 we had $369,000 in non-performing assets at December 31, 2013 and none at December 31, 2012 and $336,000 of delinquent loans at December 31, 2013.  While credit problems at other banks in the United States have increased in recent years, credit quality has always been and remains our highest priority.

 

We also invest in securities, which consist primarily of U.S. government agency obligations and mortgage-backed securities and to a lesser extent, securities of states, counties and political subdivisions.

 

We offer a variety of deposit accounts, including certificate of deposit accounts, money market accounts, savings accounts, NOW accounts and individual retirement accounts. We historically have not used borrowings to fund our operations and had no borrowings at December 31, 2013.

 

All of the members of our current executive management team joined Sunnyside Federal since 2008. Since that time, we have begun to shift Sunnyside Federal’s strategy to diversify our traditional thrift focus into a more commercial bank style of operation with a broadened base of financial products and services while emphasizing superior customer service. While residential real estate lending has been, and will remain, the most important part of our operations, we intend to diversify our focus on non-residential lending, including commercial and multi-family real estate lending and commercial lending, including Small Business Administration (SBA) lending.

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations are based on our financial statements, which are prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles used in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions affecting the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of income and expenses. We consider the accounting policies discussed below to be critical accounting policies. The estimates and assumptions that we use are based on historical experience and various other factors and are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions, resulting in a change that could have a material impact on the carrying value of our assets and liabilities and our results of operations.

 

On April 5, 2012, the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) was signed into law. The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, reduce certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. As an “emerging growth company” we may delay adoption of new or revised accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies until such pronouncements are made applicable to private companies. We intend to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. Accordingly, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.

 

The following represent our critical accounting policies:

 

Allowance for Loan Losses.   The allowance for loan losses is the estimated amount considered necessary to cover inherent, but unconfirmed, credit losses in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date. The allowance is established through the provision for losses on loans which is charged against income. In determining the allowance for loan losses, management makes significant estimates and has identified this policy as one of our most critical accounting policies.

 

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 adequacy 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 change.

 

The analysis has two components, specific and general allocations. Specific percentage allocations can be made for unconfirmed losses related to loans that are determined to be impaired. Impairment 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. If the fair value of the loan is less than the loan’s carrying value, a charge is recorded for the difference. The general allocation is determined by segregating the remaining loans by type of loan, risk weighting (if applicable) and payment history. We also

Table of Contents

 

analyze 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 reserve. Actual loan losses may be significantly more than the allowances we have established which could result in a material negative effect on our financial results.

 

Securities Valuation and Impairment.   We classify our investments in debt and equity securities as either held-to-maturity or available-for-sale. Securities classified as held-to maturity are recorded at cost or amortized cost. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value. We obtain our fair values from a third party service. This service’s fair value calculations are based on quoted market prices when such prices are available. If quoted market prices are not available, estimates of fair value are computed using a variety of techniques, including extrapolation from the quoted prices of similar instruments or recent trades for thinly traded securities, fundamental analysis, or through obtaining purchase quotes. Due to the subjective nature of the valuation process, it is possible that the actual fair values of these investments could differ from the estimated amounts, thereby affecting our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. If the estimated value of investments is less than the cost or amortized cost, we evaluate whether an event or change in circumstances has occurred that may have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of the investment. If such an event or change has occurred and we determine that the impairment is other-than-temporary, we expense the impairment of the investment in the period in which the event or change occurred. We also consider how long a security has been in a loss position in determining if it is other than temporarily impaired. Management also assesses the nature of the unrealized losses taking into consideration factors such as changes in risk-free interest rates, general credit spread widening, market supply and demand, creditworthiness of the issuer, and quality of the underlying collateral. At December 31, 2013, 98.9% of our securities were issued by U.S. government agencies or U.S. government-sponsored enterprises.

 

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

 

Total assets decreased $2.8 million, or 3.0%, to $91.3 million at December 31, 2013 from $94.1 million at December 31, 2012. The decrease was primarily the result of decreases in cash and cash equivalents and investment securities held to maturity, offset in part by an increase in securities available for sale.

 

Securities available for sale increased $5.0 million, or 15.1%, to $38.2 million at December 31, 2013 from $33.2 million at December 31, 2012. The increase in securities available for sale during 2013 was a result of management’s decision to deploy cash and cash equivalents into these securities rather than fund loans in the continuing low interest rate environment.

 

Net loans receivable increased $135,000, or 0.3%, to $40.0 million at December 31, 2013 from $39.9 million at December 31, 2012. The increase in loans receivable during this period was due to an increase of $283,000, or 6.8%, in commercial and multi-family loans, which offset declines in one- to four-family residential real estate loans, home equity lines of credit and loans secured by savings accounts.

Table of Contents

 

Cash and cash equivalents decreased $2.8 million, or 51.9%, to $2.6 million at December 31, 2013 from $5.4 million at December 31, 2012, as management deployed these funds to purchase securities available for sale rather than the origination of one- to four-family residential real estate loans during the continuing low interest rate environment during 2013. Securities held to maturity decreased $5.5 million, or 53.9%, to $4.7 million at December 31, 2013 from $10.2 million at December 31, 2012, reflecting our decision to increase securities available for sale during the current interest rate environment.

 

At December 31, 2013, our investment in bank-owned life insurance was $2.0 million, an increase of $64,000, from $1.9 million at December 31, 2012. We invest in bank-owned life insurance to provide us with a funding offset for our benefit plan obligations. Bank-owned life insurance also generally provides us noninterest income that is non-taxable. Federal regulations generally limit our investment in bank-owned life insurance to 25% of our Tier 1 capital plus our allowance for loan losses, and we have not made any additional contributions to our bank-owned life insurance since 2002.

 

Deferred income taxes increased $625,000, or 147.8%, to $1.0 million at December 31, 2013 from $423,000 at December 31, 2012. The increase resulted from the tax benefit from the unrealized loss on securities available for sale and net operating loss carryover.

 

Other assets, consisting primarily of prepaid FDIC insurance premiums, refundable income taxes and an annuity contract for a former director, decreased $333,000, or 39.1%, to $519,000 at December 31, 2013 from $852,000 at December 31, 2012.

 

Total deposits decreased $8.2 million, or 9.5%, to $78.0 million at December 31, 2013 from $86.2 million at December 31, 2012. The decrease resulted primarily from a decrease in NOW accounts of $2.4 million, or 20.0%, a decrease in super saver accounts of $2.0 million, or 19.0%, a decrease in money market accounts of $500,000, or 13.2%, and a decrease in certificates of deposit of $4.8 million, or 12.8%. These decreases were partially offset by increases in non-interest bearing checking accounts of $400,000, or 12.5%, and in regular savings and club accounts of $1.2 million, or 6.3%. As part of our efforts to reduce our reliance on certificates of deposit, we allowed higher costing certificates of deposit to run off at maturity during 2013, as we increased our emphasis on increasing the level of core deposits.

 

We had no borrowings outstanding at December 31, 2013 or 2012. At December 31, 2013, we had the ability to borrow approximately $27.4 million from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York, subject to our pledging sufficient assets. Additionally, at December 31, 2013, we had the ability to borrow up to $1.0 million on a Fed Funds line of credit with Atlantic Community Bankers Bank.

 

Total equity increased to $11.9 million at December 31, 2013 from $6.2 million at December 31, 2012 resulting from the completion of our initial public offering which we completed in July 2013. In the offering, the Company sold 793,500 shares of its common stock, including 55,545 shares purchased by our employee stock ownership plan (“ESOP”), at a price of $10.00 per share, in a subscription offering, for gross proceeds of $7,935,000. The cost of the conversion and the stock offering were deferred and deducted from the proceeds of the offering.

Conversion costs incurred totaled $845,000 resulting in net proceeds of $6.5 million after also deducting the shares acquired by the ESOP.

 

Comparison of Operating Results for the Years Ended December 31, 2013 and 2012

 

General.   We had a net loss of $60,000 during 2013 as compared to net loss of $320,000 for 2012. The decrease in our net loss resulted primarily from an increase in net interest income and an increase in non-interest income offset by increases in non-interest expense and provision for loan losses, when comparing 2013 results to 2012 results. Our current business strategy includes increasing the Bank’s asset size, diversifying our loan portfolio to increase our non-residential lending, including commercial and multi-family real estate lending and commercial lending and increasing our non-interest income, as ways to improve our profitability in future periods.

 

Our ability to achieve profitability depends upon a number of factors, including general economic conditions, competition with other financial institutions, changes to the interest rate environment that may reduce our profit margins or impair our business strategy, adverse changes in the securities markets, changes in laws or government regulations, changes in consumer spending, borrowing, or saving, and changes in accounting policies. If we fail to generate additional revenue or reduce our expenses, we may continue to incur losses in 2014 and in future years and we may never generate net income. Over time, continued net losses and negative cash flow could drain our capital and endanger the safety and soundness of the Bank.

 

Net Interest Income.   Net interest income increased $19,000, or 0.9%, to $2.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 from $2.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. The increase resulted from a decrease of $104,000 in interest expense, offset in part by a decrease of $85,000 in interest and dividend income. The decrease in interest and dividend income was primarily driven by declining market interest rates during the year ended December 31, 2013. The average yield on our loans decreased 56 basis points, and the average yield on our mortgage-backed securities decreased 4 basis points, respectively, during 2013. Our net interest rate spread decreased 7 basis points to 2.46% for the year ended December 31, 2013 from 2.53% for the year ended December 31, 2012, and our net interest margin decreased 4 basis points to 2.52% for 2013 from 2.56% for 2012. The decrease was partially offset by a slight increase in our net average interest-earnings assets to average interest-bearing liabilities which increased to 107.95% for 2013 from 103.61% for 2012.

 

Interest and Dividend Income.   Interest and dividend income decreased $85,000 to $2.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 from $2.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. The decrease resulted primarily from a $143,000 decrease in interest income on loans, partially offset by a $67,000 increase in interest and dividends on investment securities and mortgage-backed securities.

 

Interest income on loans decreased $143,000, or 6.9%, to $1.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 from $2.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. The decrease resulted primarily from a decrease in the average yield of loans to 4.79% in 2013 from 5.35% for 2012. The decrease of 56 basis points was partially offset by an increase in average loan volume of $1.6 million in 2013 to $40.4 million from $38.8 million in 2012.

Table of Contents

 

Interest and dividend income on investment securities increased $13,000 to $121,000 for the year ended December 31, 2013 from $108,000 for the year ended December 31, 2012 due to an increase in the average balances of investment securities to $7.2 million for 2013 from $6.8 million for 2012, and an increase in average yield to 1.67% in 2013 from 1.60% in 2012. Interest on mortgage-backed securities increased $54,000 to $632,000 for 2013 from $578,000 for 2012 as the average yield on these securities decreased 4 basis points to 1.77% during 2013 from 1.81% during 2012, offset in part by a $3.8 million increase in the average balance of mortgage-backed securities to $35.7 million during 2013 from $31.9 million during 2012.

 

Interest Expense.   Interest expense, consisting of the cost of interest-bearing deposits and borrowings, decreased $104,000, or 15.3%, to $574,000 for the year ended December 31, 2013 from $678,000 for the year ended December 31, 2012. The decrease in the cost of interest-bearing deposits was due to a decrease of 12 basis points in the average rate paid on these funds to 0.74% for 2013 from 0.86% for 2012, as we experienced decreases in the cost of all categories of interest-bearing deposits during the year (except for the cost of our savings accounts which increased slightly), reflecting lower market interest rates. Also contributing to the decrease in interest expense was a marginal decrease of $1.1 million, or 1.34%, in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits to $77.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 from $78.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2012.

 

Provision for Loan Losses.   We establish provisions for loan losses that are charged to operations in order to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level believed, to the best of management’s knowledge, to cover all known and inherent losses in the portfolio both probable and reasonable to estimate at each reporting date. We recorded a provision for loan losses of $24,500 for the year ended December 31, 2013 and we recorded no provision for loan losses for the year ended December 31, 2012. The allowance for loan losses was $340,000 at December 31, 2013 compared to $314,000 at December 31, 2012. We had $369,000 in non-performing loans at December 31, 2013 and $0 at December 31, 2012. During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 we had no loan charge-offs and had $1,000 and $1,000 of recoveries in each year, respectively.

 

Noninterest Income.   Noninterest income increased $93,000 to $327,000 for the year ended December 31, 2013 from $234,000 for the year ended December 31, 2012. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $116,000 in net security gains in 2013 and an increase of $2,000 on income on bank-owned life insurance, partially offset by a decrease of $25,000 on fees and service charges.

 

Noninterest Expense.   Noninterest expense increased $107,000, or 4.4%, to $2.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 from $2.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. Compensation and benefits increased $10,000 to $1.3 million for 2013 from $1.3 million for 2012, resulting from normal salary increases and increases in payroll taxes offset by timing differences in staff replacements. Occupancy and equipment decreased $58,000, or 13.1%, to $386,000 for 2013 from $444,000 for 2012 as a result of a decrease in real estate taxes resulting from a successful tax appeal filed in prior years. Professional fees increased $141,000, or 71.6%, to $338,000 for 2013 from $197,000 in 2012. The increase was the result of professional fees from consultants and other professional services which were engaged to assist management with compliance and regulatory reporting requirements. These increases were partially offset by a

$6,000 decrease in federal deposit insurance premiums and a $6,000 decrease in advertising and promotion expense in 2013.

 

Income Tax Expense.   We recorded an income tax benefit of $91,000 for the year ended December 31, 2013 based on a loss before taxes of $151,000 and a $189,000 income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2012. Although we had a net loss before income taxes during 2012, our income tax expense resulted from our decision to increase by $267,000 the valuation allowance on our deferred tax asset requiring a corresponding increase to income tax expense.

Rate/Volume Analysis

 

The following table presents the effects of changing rates and volumes on our net interest income for the fiscal years indicated. The rate column shows the effects attributable to changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior volume). The volume column shows the effects attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior rate). The net column represents the sum of the prior columns. For purposes of this table, changes attributable to both rate and volume, which cannot be segregated, have been allocated proportionately, based on the changes due to rate and the changes due to volume.

Management of Market Risk

 

General. Our most significant form of market risk is interest rate risk because, as a financial institution, the majority of our assets and liabilities are sensitive to changes in interest rates. Therefore, a principal part of our operations is to manage interest rate risk and limit the exposure of our financial condition and results of operations to changes in market interest rates. Our Asset-Liability Committee is responsible for evaluating the interest rate risk inherent in our assets and liabilities, for determining the level of risk that is appropriate, given our business strategy, operating environment, capital, liquidity and performance objectives, and for managing this risk consistent with the policy and guidelines approved by our board of directors.

 

Historically, we have operated as a traditional thrift institution. A significant portion of our assets consist of longer-term, fixed-rate, one- to four-family residential real estate loans and securities, which we have funded primarily with deposits. Historically we have retained in our portfolio all of the one- to four-family residential real estate loans that we have originated. We are revising our business strategy and intend to increase our emphasis of the origination of commercial and multi-family real estate loans and commercial loans. Such loans generally have

 

46
Table of Contents

 

shorter maturities than one- to four-family residential real estate loans. Additionally, subject to favorable market conditions, we will consider the sale or brokerage of certain newly originated longer-term (terms of 15 years or greater), one- to four-family residential real estate loans rather than retain all of such loans in portfolio as we have done in the past. Additionally, we intend to implement a Small Business Administration (SBA) lending program and consider selling the government-guaranteed portions of such loans to generate additional fee income and manage interest rate risk. We are an SBA-approved lender.

 

Net Interest Income Analysis. We analyze our sensitivity to changes in interest rates through our net interest income simulation model which is provided to us by an independent third party. Net interest income is the difference between the interest income we earn on our interest-earning assets, such as loans and securities, and the interest we pay on our interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings. We estimate what our net interest income would be for a one-year period based on current interest rates. We then calculate what the net interest income would be for the same period under different interest rate assumptions. We also estimate the impact over a five year time horizon. The following table shows the estimated impact on net interest income for the one-year period beginning December 31, 2013 resulting from potential changes in interest rates. These estimates require certain assumptions to be made, including loan and mortgage-related investment prepayment speeds, reinvestment rates, and deposit maturities and decay rates. These assumptions are inherently uncertain. As a result, no simulation model can precisely predict the impact of changes in interest rates on our net interest income. Although the net interest income table below provides an indication of our interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time, such estimates are not intended to, and do not, provide a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market interest rates on our net interest income and will differ from actual results.

 

Rate Shift (1)  Net Interest Income
Year 1 Forecast
   Year 1 Change
from Level
 
   (In thousands)     
           
+400  $2,064    (11.80)%
+300  $2,150    (8.12)%
+200  $2,229    (4.77)%
+100  $2,295    (1.95)%
Level  $2,340     
-100  $2,272    (2.91)%

 

 

(1)The calculated changes assume an immediate shock of the static yield curve.

 

Certain shortcomings are inherent in the methodology used in the above interest rate risk measurement. Modeling changes in net portfolio value requires making certain assumptions that may or may not reflect the manner in which actual yields and costs respond to changes in market interest rates. In this regard, the tables presented assume that the composition of our interest-sensitive assets and liabilities existing at the beginning of a period remains constant over the period being measured and assumes that a particular change in interest rates is reflected uniformly across the yield curve regardless of the duration or repricing of specific assets and liabilities. The tables also do not measure the changes in credit and liquidity risk that may occur as a result of changes in general interest rates. Accordingly, although the tables provide an indication of our interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time, such measurements are

 

47
Table of Contents

 

not intended to and do not provide a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market interest rates on our economic value of equity and will differ from actual results.

 

We do not engage in hedging activities, such as engaging in futures, options or swap transactions, or investing in high-risk mortgage derivatives, such as collateralized mortgage obligation residual interests, real estate mortgage investment conduit residual interests or stripped mortgage backed securities.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Liquidity describes our ability to meet the financial obligations that arise in the ordinary course of business. Liquidity is primarily needed to meet the borrowing and deposit withdrawal requirements of our customers and to fund current and planned expenditures. Our primary sources of funds are deposits, scheduled amortization and prepayments of loan principal and mortgage-backed securities, maturities and calls of investment securities and funds provided by our operations. In addition, we have the ability to borrow from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York. At December 31, 2013, we had the capacity to borrow approximately $27 million from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York, subject to our pledging sufficient assets. Additionally, at December 31, 2013, we had the ability to borrow up to $1.0 million on a Fed Funds line of credit with Atlantic Community Bankers Bank. However, we have historically not used Federal Home Loan Bank advances or any other borrowings to fund our operations, and at December 31, 2013 and 2012, we had no outstanding advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York or any other borrowings.

 

Loan repayments and maturing securities are a relatively predictable source of funds. However, deposit flows, calls of securities and prepayments of loans and mortgage-backed securities are strongly influenced by interest rates, general and local economic conditions and competition in the marketplace. These factors reduce the predictability of these sources of funds.

 

Our primary investing activities are the origination of one- to four-family real estate loans and commercial and multi-family real estate loans and the purchase of securities. For the year ended December 31, 2013, loan originations totaled $6.4 million, compared to $7.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. Purchases of investment and mortgage-backed securities totaled $22.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 and $35.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2012.

 

Total deposits decreased $8.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2013, while total deposits increased $5.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2012. Deposit flows are affected by the level of interest rates, the interest rates and products offered by competitors and other factors. At December 31, 2013, certificates of deposit scheduled to mature within one year totaled $19.4 million. Our ability to retain these deposits will be determined in part by the interest rates we are willing to pay on such deposits.

 

We are committed to maintaining a strong liquidity position. We monitor our liquidity position on a daily basis. We anticipate that we will have sufficient funds to meet our current funding commitments. Based on our deposit retention experience and current pricing strategy, we anticipate that a significant portion of maturing time deposits will be retained.

At December 31, 2013 and 2012, we exceeded all of the applicable regulatory capital requirements. Our core (Tier 1) capital was $12.2 million and $6.6 million, or 13.0% and 7.0% of total assets, at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. In order to be classified as “well-capitalized” under federal banking regulations, we were required to have core capital of at least $4.6 million, or 5.0% of assets, as of December 31, 2013. To be classified as a well-capitalized savings association, we must also have a ratio of total risk-based capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 10.0%, and a Tier 1 risk-based capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 6%. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, we had a total risk-based capital ratio of 13.2% and 20.3%, respectively, and Tier 1 risk-based capital ratios of 35.2% and 19.4%, respectively. Our regulatory capital ratios increased during 2013 due to net proceeds of $6.5 million received in the stock offering after deducting the shares acquired by the ESOP.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Aggregate Contractual Obligations

 

Commitments.   As a financial services provider, we routinely are a party to various financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risks, such as commitments to extend credit and unused lines of credit. While these contractual obligations represent our future cash requirements, a significant portion of commitments to extend credit may expire without being drawn upon. Such commitments are subject to the same credit policies and approval process accorded to loans we make.

 

Contractual Obligations.   In the ordinary course of our operations, we enter into certain contractual obligations. Such obligations include data processing services, operating leases for premises and equipment, agreements with respect to borrowed funds and deposit liabilities.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In April 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-02, “Receivables (Topic 310): A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring is a Troubled Debt Restructuring.” The ASU clarifies guidance on a creditor’s evaluation of whether or not a concession has been granted, with an emphasis on evaluating all aspects of the modification rather than a focus on specific criteria, such as the effective interest rate test, to determine a concession. The ASU goes on to provide guidance on specific types of modifications such as changes in the interest rate of the borrowing, and insignificant delays in payments, as well as guidance on the creditor’s evaluation of whether or not a debtor is experiencing financial difficulties. For nonpublic companies, the new guidance was effective for annual periods ending on or after December 31, 2012, and applies retrospectively to restructuring occurring on or after the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the financial statements.

 

In May 2011, the FASB issued an update (ASU No. 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs”) impacting FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement. The amendments in this update will improve the comparability of fair value measurements presented and disclosed in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”). Among the many areas affected by this update are the concept of highest

and best use, the fair value of an instrument included in equity and disclosures about fair value measurement, especially disclosures about fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. This update became effective for the Association for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and did not have a material impact on the financial statements.

 

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05 “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income” which changes how other comprehensive income (“OCI”) is presented. Under the new presentation rules, the Association will have the option to present OCI either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In both scenarios, the Association will be 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 the two-statement approach, the income statement will be followed immediately by the statement of OCI, and then the amount for total comprehensive income will be reported. The adoption of this update and ASC 2011-12 which defers a portion of this guidance, did not have a material impact on the financial statements.

 

In February 2013, the FASB issued an update (ASU No. 2013-02, “Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income”) impacting FASB ASC 220, Comprehensive Income. This update requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income. An entity is required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under U.S. GAAP that provide additional detail about these amounts. This update becomes effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The new guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements.

 

Impact of Inflation and Changing Price

 

Our financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. U.S. GAAP generally requires the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without consideration of changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The impact of inflation is reflected in the increased cost of our operations. Unlike industrial companies, our assets and liabilities are primarily monetary in nature. As a result, changes in market interest rates have a greater impact on performance than the effects of inflation.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

 

Our executive officers and directors and beneficial owners of greater than 10% of the outstanding shares of common stock are required to file reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission disclosing beneficial ownership and changes in beneficial ownership of our common stock.  Securities and Exchange Commission rules require disclosure in the Company’s Proxy Statement and Annual Report on Form 10-K of the failure of an executive officer, director or 10% beneficial owner to file such forms on a timely basis.  Based on the Company’s review of ownership reports and management questionnaires, the Company believes that none of the Company’s executive officers or directors failed to file these reports on a timely basis for 2013.

 

Code of Ethics

 

The Company has adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to the Company’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer and all other employees and directors.

Benefit Plans and Agreements

 

Employment Agreements.   Sunnyside Bancorp and Sunnyside Federal have employment agreements with each of Timothy D. Sullivan, our President and Chief Executive Officer, and Gerardina Mirtuono, our Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. Our continued success depends to a significant degree on the skills and competence of Mr. Sullivan and Ms. Mirtuono and the employment agreements are intended to ensure that we maintain a stable management base following the conversion and offering.

 

Each agreement has substantially similar terms, except for the term of the agreements. Mr. Sullivan’s agreement has a fixed three-year term and, prior to the second annual anniversary of the agreement, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) will consider extending the term. Ms. Mirtuono’s agreement has an initial two-year term and, commencing on the first anniversary of the agreement and on each subsequent anniversary thereafter, the agreement will be renewed for an additional year so that the remaining term will be two years, unless a notice is provided to the executive that the agreement will not renew. The current base salaries for Mr. Sullivan and Ms. Mirtuono are $224,400 and $154,400, respectively. In addition to the base salary, each agreement provides for, among other things, participation in bonus programs, if any, and other fringe benefit plans, if any, applicable to executive employees. The executive’s employment may be terminated for cause at any time, in which event the executive would have no right to receive compensation or other benefits for any period after termination.

Table of Contents

 

Certain events resulting in the executive’s termination or resignation entitle the executive to payments of severance benefits following termination of employment. In the event of the executive’s involuntary termination for reasons other than for cause, disability or retirement, or in the event the executive resigns during the term of the agreement following: (i) for Mr. Sullivan only (and not Ms. Mirtuono), failure to elect or reelect or to appoint or reappoint the executive to the executive position; (ii) a material change in the nature or scope of the executive’s authority resulting in a reduction of the responsibility, scope, or importance of executive’s position; (iii) relocation of executive’s office by more than 15 miles; (iv) a material reduction in the base salary or benefits paid to the executive unless such reduction is employer-wide; (v) a liquidation or dissolution of Sunnyside Federal; or (vi) a material breach of the employment agreement by Sunnyside Federal, then the executive would be entitled to a severance payment in the form of a cash lump sum equal to the base salary the executive would be entitled to receive for the remaining unexpired term of the employment agreement. Internal Revenue Code Section 409A may require that a portion of the above payments cannot be made until six months after termination of employment if the executive is a “key employee” under IRS rules. In addition, the executive would be entitled to the continuation non-taxable medical and dental coverage, with the executive paying his or her share of the employee premiums, for the remaining unexpired term of the employment agreement.

 

In the event of a change in control of Sunnyside Federal or Sunnyside Bancorp, followed by executive’s involuntary termination or resignation for one of the reasons set forth above (or for any reason, in the case of Ms. Mirtuono) within twelve (12) months thereafter, the executive would be entitled to a severance payment in the form of a cash lump sum equal to the base salary the executive would be entitled to receive for the remaining unexpired term of the employment agreement, provided that the amount of the payment will not be less than eighteen (18) months of base salary. In addition, the executive would be entitled to the continuation of non-taxable medical and dental coverage, with the executive paying his or her share of the employee premiums, for eighteen (18) months following the termination of employment. In the event payments made to the executive include an “excess parachute payment” as defined in Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code, such payments will be cutback by the minimum dollar amount necessary to avoid this result.

 

Under each employment agreement, if an executive becomes disabled within the meaning of such term under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, the executive shall receive benefits under any short-term or long-term disability plans maintained by Sunnyside Federal, plus, if the amounts paid under such disability programs are less than 80% of the executive’s base salary, Sunnyside Federal shall pay the executive an additional amount equal to the difference between such disability plan benefits and 80% of the executive’s full base salary for one year following the termination of employment due to disability. In the event of the executive’s death, the executive’s beneficiaries will receive any life insurance benefits that they may be entitled to receive under any plan maintained by Sunnyside Federal for the benefit of the executive. If the amounts to be paid are less than twelve (12) months of the executive’s base salary, Sunnyside Federal will pay an amount equal to the difference between the life insurance benefits and the twelve months of the executive’s base salary in a lump sum payment within thirty days of the date of death.

Table of Contents

 

Upon termination of the executive’s employment (other than a termination in connection with a change in control), the executive shall be subject to certain restrictions on his ability to compete, or to solicit business or employees of Sunnyside Federal and Sunnyside Bancorp for a period of one year following termination of employment.

 

Sunnyside Federal has also entered into a one-year change in control agreement with Gerard Iervolino which provides Mr. Iervolino with a cash lump sum severance payment equal to twelve (12) months of base salary and the continuation of non-taxable medical and dental coverage, with the officer paying his share of the employee premiums for twelve (12) months in the event of a change in control of Sunnyside Federal or Sunnyside Bancorp, followed by executive’s involuntary termination or resignation for Good Reason (as defined in the agreement).

 

401(k) Plan.   Sunnyside Federal maintains the Sunnyside Federal Savings and Loan Association of Irvington 401(k) Profit-Sharing Plan, a tax-qualified defined contribution plan for eligible employees (the “401(k) Plan”). Sunnyside Federal’s named executive officers are eligible to participate in the 401(k) Plan just like any other employee. Employees are eligible to participate in the 401(k) Plan on the first day of the month coinciding with or immediately following their date of hire. There is no minimum age or service requirement to participate in the 401(k) Plan or to receive employer contributions.

 

Under the 401(k) Plan a participant may elect to defer, on a pre-tax basis, the maximum amount as permitted by the Internal Revenue Code. For 2013, the salary deferral contribution limit was $17,500, provided, however, that a participant over age 50 may contribute an additional $5,500 to the 401(k) Plan for a total of $23,000. In addition to salary deferral contributions, Sunnyside Federal will make a matching contribution equal to 50% of the participant’s salary deferral contributions for the plan year that is not in excess of 6% of the participant’s annual salary. A participant is always 100% vested in his or her salary deferral contributions and employer matching contributions. Generally, unless the participant elects otherwise, the participant’s account balance will be distributed as a result of a participant’s termination of employment with Sunnyside Federal.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2013, Sunnyside Federal recognized $26,379 as a 401(k) Plan expense.

 

Defined Benefit Pension Plan.  Sunnyside Federal maintains a defined benefit pension plan (the “Pension Plan”). The amount of the Pension Plan benefit is based on an individual’s compensation and years of service.  Effective April 15, 2008, the annual benefit provided to employees under the Pension Plan was frozen. During the year ended December 31, 2013, Sunnyside Federal recognized a pension credit of $24,138

 

Employee Stock Ownership Plan.  In connection with the conversion, Sunnyside Federal adopted an employee stock ownership plan for eligible employees. Sunnyside Federal’s named executive officers are eligible to participate in the employee stock ownership plan just like any other employee. Eligible employees who have attained age 21 and were employed by us as of January 1, 2013 are eligible for participation in the employee stock ownership plan on the later

 

58
Table of Contents

 

of the effective date of the employee stock ownership plan or upon the first entry date commencing on or after the eligible employee’s completion of 1,000 hours of service during a continuous 12-month period.

 

The employee stock ownership plan trustee purchases, on behalf of the employee stock ownership plan, 7% of the total number of shares of Sunnyside Bancorp common stock issued in the offering. The purchase was funded with a loan from Sunnyside Bancorp equal to the aggregate purchase price of the common stock. The loan will be repaid principally through Sunnyside Federal’s contribution to the employee stock ownership plan and dividends payable on common stock held by the employee stock ownership plan over the anticipated 25-year term of the loan. The interest rate for the employee stock ownership plan loan is an adjustable rate equal to the prime rate, as published in The Wall Street Journal, on the closing date of the offering. Thereafter the interest rate will adjust annually and will be the prime rate on the first business day of the calendar year, retroactive to January 1 of such year. See “Pro Forma Data.”

 

The trustee holds the shares purchased by the employee stock ownership plan in an unallocated suspense account, and shares are released from the suspense account on a pro-rata basis as we repay the loan. The trustee allocates the shares released among participants on the basis of each participant’s proportional share of compensation relative to all participants. A participant becomes vested in his or her account balance at a rate of 20% per year over a 6-year period, beginning in the second year. Participants who were employed by Sunnyside Federal immediately prior to the 2013 stock offering received credit for vesting purposes for years of service prior to adoption of the employee stock ownership plan. Participants also will become fully vested automatically upon normal retirement, death or disability, a change in control, or termination of the employee stock ownership plan. Generally, participants will receive distributions from the employee stock ownership plan upon separation from service. The employee stock ownership plan reallocates any unvested shares forfeited upon termination of employment among the remaining participants.

 

The employee stock ownership plan permits participants to direct the trustee as to how to vote the shares of common stock allocated to their accounts. The trustee votes unallocated shares and allocated shares for which participants do not provide instructions on any matter in the same ratio as those shares for which participants provide instructions, subject to fulfillment of the trustee’s fiduciary responsibilities.

 

Under applicable accounting requirements, Sunnyside Federal records a compensation expense for the employee stock ownership plan at the fair market value of the shares as they are committed to be released from the unallocated suspense account to participants’ accounts, which may be more or less than the original issue price. The compensation expense resulting from the release of the common stock from the suspense account and allocation to plan participants results in a corresponding reduction in Sunnyside Bancorp’s earnings.

ITEM 13.       Certain Relationships and Related Transactions and Director Independence

 

Board Independence

 

The board of directors has determined that each of our directors, with the exception of directors Sullivan and Mirtuono, is “independent” as defined in the listing standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market. Directors Sullivan and Mirtuono are not independent because they are executive officers of Sunnyside Bancorp. In determining the independence of the directors listed above, the board of directors reviewed accounts that directors and their affiliates had with Sunnyside Federal, none of which are required to be reported under “ – Transactions With Certain Related Persons,” below.

 

Transactions With Certain Related Persons

 

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 generally prohibits publicly traded companies from making loans to their executive officers and directors, but it contains a specific exemption from

 

61
Table of Contents

 

such prohibition for loans made by federally insured financial institutions, such as Sunnyside Federal, to their executive officers and directors in compliance with federal banking regulations. At December 31, 2013, all of our loans to directors and executive officers were made in the ordinary course of business, were made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable loans with persons not related to Sunnyside Federal, and did not involve more than the normal risk of collectability or present other unfavorable features. These loans were performing according to their original terms at December 31, 2013, and were made in compliance with federal banking regulations.

 

ITEM 14.       Principal Accounting Fees and Services

 

 

Audit Fees.   The aggregate fees billed for professional services rendered by Fontanella & Babitts for the audit of the Company’s annual financial statements for 2013 and 2012 were $38,000 and $36,600, respectively.

Audit-Related Fees.   Fees billed for professional services rendered by Fontanella & Babitts that were reasonably related to the performance of the audits described above were $88,037 and $0 for 2013 and 2012, respectively. The audit-related fees for 2013 include fees incurred in connection with the Company’s initial stock offering, including review of the SEC registration statement filed in connection therewith and review of the Company’s Forms 10-Q and 10-K.

Tax Fees.   The aggregate fees billed for professional services by Fontanella & Babitts for tax services were $8,250 and $7,750 for 2013 and 2012, respectively.

All Other Fees.   There were no fees billed for professional services rendered for the Company by Fontanella & Babitts for services other than those listed above for 2013 and 2012.

Policy on Audit Committee Pre-Approval of Audit and Non-Audit Services of Independent Auditor

The Audit Committee’s policy is to pre-approve all audit and non-audit services provided by independent auditors. These services may include audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services. Pre-approval is generally provided for up to one year and any pre-approval is detailed as to particular service or category of services and is generally subject to a specific budget. The independent auditors and management are required to periodically report to the full Audit Committee regarding the extent of services provided by the independent auditors in accordance with this pre-approval, and the fees for the services performed to date. The Audit Committee pre-approved 100% of the tax fees and the other non-audit fees described above during 2013 and 2012.

The Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit services by Fontanella & Babitts, relating primarily to tax services, is compatible with maintaining the independence of Fontanella & Babitts. The Audit Committee concluded that performing such services would not affect the independence of Fontanella & Babitts in performing its function as auditor of the Company.

REPORT OF Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Board of Directors

Sunnyside Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiary

Irvington, New York

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition of Sunnyside Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiary (the "Company"), as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), stockholders equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Sunnyside Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiary, as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

SUNNYSIDE BANCORP, INC. AND SUSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

 1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The following is a description of the more significant policies used in the presentation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Sunnyside Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiary (the “Company”).

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements are comprised of the accounts of Sunnyside Bancorp. Inc., and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Sunnyside Federal Savings and Loan Association of Irvington (the “Association”). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Business

 

Sunnyside Federal Savings and Loan Association of Irvington is a community-oriented savings institution whose primary business is accepting deposits from customers within its market area (Westchester County, New York) and investing those funds in mortgage loans secured by one-to-four family residences and in mortgage-backed and other securities. To a significantly lesser extent, funds are invested in multi-family and commercial mortgage loans, commercial loans, and consumer loans. Customer deposits are insured up to applicable limits by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. As a federally-chartered savings association, the Association’s primary regulator is the Office of the Controller of the Currency (the “OCC”).

 

Basis of Financial Statement Presentation

 

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the statement of financial condition and revenues and expenses for the period then ended. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

 

A material estimate that is particularly susceptible to significant change relates to the determination of the allowance for loan losses. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate. While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, future additions to the allowance for loan losses may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions in the Company’s market area.

 

In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Company’s allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require the Company to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Association considers all cash and amounts due from depository institutions and interest-bearing deposits in other depository institutions with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Investment and Mortgage-Backed Securities

 

Securities that the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity securities and reported at amortized cost. Securities classified as available-for-sale securities are reported at fair value, with unrealized holding gains or losses reported in a separate component of retained earnings. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Association had no securities classified as held for trading.

 

The Company conducts a periodic review and evaluation of the securities portfolio to determine if a decline in the fair value of any security below its cost basis is other-than-temporary. The evaluation of other-than-temporary impairment considers the duration and severity of the impairment, the Association’s intent and ability to hold the securities and assessments of the reason for the decline in value and the likelihood of a near-term recovery. If such a decline is deemed other-than-temporary, the security is written down to a new cost basis and the resulting loss is charged to income as a component of non-interest expense.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

 1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d)

 

Investment and Mortgage-Backed Securities (Cont’d)

 

Premiums and discounts on securities are amortized by use of the level-yield method, over the life of the individual securities. Gain or loss on sales of securities is based upon the specific identification method.

 

Loans Receivable

 

Loans receivable are stated at unpaid principal balances less the allowance for loan losses and net deferred loan fees.

 

Recognition of interest on the accrual method is generally discontinued when interest or principal payments are ninety days or more in arrears, or when other factors indicate that the collection of such amounts is doubtful. At that time, a loan is placed on a nonaccrual status, and all previously accrued and uncollected interest is reversed against interest income in the current period. Interest on such loans, if appropriate, is recognized as income when payments are received. A loan is returned to an accrual status when factors indicating doubtful collectibility no longer exist.

 

Allowance for Loan Losses

 

An allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level, to the best of management’s knowledge, to cover all known and inherent losses in the portfolio that are both probable and reasonable to estimate. Management of the Association, in determining the provision for loan losses considers the risks inherent in its loan portfolio and changes in the nature and volume of its loan activities, along with the general economic and real estate market conditions. The Company utilizes a two tier approach: (1) identification of problem loans and establishment of specific loss allowances on such loans; and (2) establishment of general valuation allowances on the remainder of its loan portfolio. The Company maintains a loan review system which allows for a periodic review of its loan portfolio and the early identification of potential problem loans. Such system takes into consideration, among other things, delinquency status, size of loans, type of collateral, and financial condition of the borrowers. Specific loan losses are established for identified loans based on a review of such information and appraisals of the underlying collateral. General loan losses are based upon a combination of factors including, but not limited to, actual loan loss experience, composition of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions, and management's judgment. Although management believes that adequate specific and general loan loss allowances are established, actual losses are dependent upon future events and, as such, further additions to the level of specific and general loan loss allowances may be necessary.

 

A loan evaluated for impairment is deemed to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. An insignificant payment delay, which is defined as up to ninety days by the Company, will not cause a loan to be classified as impaired. A loan is not impaired during a period of delay in payment if the Association expects to collect all amounts due, including interest accrued at the contractual interest rate for the period of delay. The amount of loan impairment is measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or, as a practical expedient, at the loan’s observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. All loans identified as impaired are evaluated independently. The Association does not aggregate such loans for evaluation purposes. Payments received on impaired loans are applied first to accrued interest receivable and then to principal.

 

Federal Home Loan Bank of New York stock

 

As a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (“FHLB”), the Company is required to acquire and hold shares of FHLB Class B stock. The holding requirement varies based on the Association’s activities, primarily its outstanding borrowings, with the FHLB. The investment in FHLB stock is carried at cost. The Association conducts a periodic review and evaluation of its FHLB stock to determine if any impairment exists.

 1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d)

 

Premises and Equipment

 

Premises and equipment are comprised of land, building, and furniture, fixtures, and equipment, at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation charges are computed on the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:

 

Building and improvements 5 to 40 years
Furniture, fixtures and equipment 2 to 10 years

 

Bank-Owned Life Insurance

 

Bank-owned life insurance (“BOLI”) is accounted for in accordance with FASB guidance. The cash surrender value of BOLI is recorded on the statement of financial condition as an asset and the change in the cash surrender value is recorded as non-interest income. The amount by which any death benefits received exceeds a policy’s cash surrender value is recorded in non-interest income at the time of receipt. A liability is also recorded on the statement of financial condition for postretirement death benefits provided by the split-dollar endorsement policy. A corresponding expense is recorded in non-interest expense for the accrual of benefits over the period during which employees provide services to earn the benefits.

 

Income Taxes

 

Federal and state income taxes have been provided on the basis of reported income. The amounts reflected on the tax return differ from these provisions due principally to temporary differences in the reporting of certain items for financial reporting and income tax reporting purposes. The tax effect of these temporary differences is accounted as deferred taxes applicable to future periods. Deferred income tax expense or benefit is determined by recognizing deferred tax assets and liabilities for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in earnings in the period that includes the enactment date. The realization of deferred tax assets is assessed and a valuation allowance provided, when necessary, for that portion of the asset which is not likely to be realized.

 

The Company accounts for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial statements in accordance with accounting guidance which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, and also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. As a result of the Company’s evaluation, no significant income tax uncertainties have been identified. Therefore, the Company recognized no adjustment for unrecognized income tax benefits for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties on unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense in the statement of income. The amount of interest and penalties for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 was immaterial. The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax, as well as income tax of the State of New York. The Company is no longer subject to examination by taxing authorities for years before 2009.

 

Employee Benefits

 

Defined Benefit Plans:

 

The accounting guidance related to retirement benefits requires an employer to: (a) recognize in its statement of financial position an asset for a plan’s overfunded status or a liability for a plan’s underfunded status; (b) measure a plan’s assets and its obligations that determine its funded status as of the end of the employer’s fiscal year; and (c) recognize, in comprehensive income, changes in the funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan in the year in which the changes occur. The accounting guidance requires that plan assets and benefit obligations be measured as of the date of the employer’s fiscal year-end statement of financial condition.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

 1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Cont’d)

 

Employee Benefits (Cont’d)

 

401K Plan:

 

The Company has a 401(k) plan covering substantially all employees. The Company matches 50% of the first 6% contributed by participants and recognizes expense as its contributions are made.

 

Employee Stock Ownership Plan:

 

The employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) is accounted for in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718-40, “Employers’ Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans.” The funds borrowed by the ESOP from the Company to purchase the Company’s common stock are being repaid from the Association’s contributions over a period of up to 25 years. The Company’s common stock not yet allocated to participants is recorded as a reduction of stockholders’ equity at cost. Compensation expense for the ESOP is based on the market price of the Company’s stock and is recognized as shares are committed to be released to participants.

 

Comprehensive Income

 

Accounting principles generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income. Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, and the actuarial gains and losses of the pension plan, are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the balance sheet, such items, along with net income, are components of comprehensive income.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk and Interest-Rate Risk

 

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents, investment and mortgage-backed securities and loans. Cash and cash equivalents include amounts placed with highly rated financial institutions. Investment securities include securities backed by the U.S. Government and other highly rated instruments. The Company’s lending activity is primarily concentrated in loans collateralized by real estate in the State of New York. As a result, credit risk is broadly dependent on the real estate market and general economic conditions in the State.

 

The Company is principally engaged in the business of attracting deposits from the general public and using these deposits, together with borrowings and other funds, to make loans secured by real estate in the State of New York. The potential for interest-rate risk exists as a result of the shorter duration of interest-sensitive liabilities compared to the generally longer duration of interest-sensitive assets. In a rising rate environment, liabilities will reprice faster than assets, thereby reducing net interest income. For this reason, management regularly monitors the maturity structure of the Company's assets and liabilities in order to measure its level of interest-rate risk and to plan for future volatility.

 

Earnings Per Share

 

Basic earnings per common share, or EPS, are computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the year. The weighted-average common shares outstanding includes the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding less the weighted average number of unallocated shares held by the ESOP. For EPS calculations, ESOP shares that have been committed to be released are considered outstanding. ESOP shares that have not been committed to be released are excluded from outstanding shares on a weighted average basis for EPS calculations.

 

Earnings per share are not applicable for periods prior to the date of conversion, July 15, 2013.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain amounts in the 2012 financial statements have been reclassified in order to conform to the 2013 presentation.

Advertising Costs

 

It is the Company’s policy to expense advertising costs in the period in which they are incurred.

 

Subsequent Events

 

The Company has evaluated all events subsequent to the balance sheet date of December 31, 2013, through the date of this report, and has determined that there are no subsequent events that require disclosure under FASB guidance.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) (ASU No. 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income) impacting FASB ASC 220, Comprehensive Income. This update requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income. An entity is required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under U.S. GAAP that provide additional detail about these amounts. For public entities the guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company has presented comprehensive income in a separate Consolidated Statements Of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

 

In January 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-04, “Receivables - Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40) Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure,” which applies to all creditors who obtain physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan in satisfaction of a receivable.  The amendments in this update clarify when an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs and requires disclosure of both (1) the amount of foreclosed residential real estate property held by a creditor and (2) the recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that are in the process of foreclosure according to local requirements of the applicable jurisdiction. The amendments in ASU 2014-04 are effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted and entities can elect to adopt a modified retrospective transition method or a prospective transition method. The Company does not expect that the adoption of this pronouncement will have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

 

 2.  MUTUAL TO STOCK CONVERSION AND LIQUIDATION ACCOUNT

 

On July 15, 2013, the Association completed its mutual-to-stock conversion, and the Company consummated its initial stock offering. The Company sold 793,500 shares of its common stock, including 55,545 shares purchased by the Association’s employee stock ownership plan (“ESOP”), at a price of $10.00 per share, in a subscription offering, for gross offering proceeds of $7,935,000. The cost of conversion and the stock offering were deferred and deducted from the proceeds of the offering. Conversion costs incurred totaled $845,000 resulting in net proceeds of $6.5 million after also deducting the shares acquired by the ESOP.

 

In accordance with applicable federal conversion regulations, at the time of the completion of the mutual-to-stock conversion, the Company established a liquidation account in the Association in an amount equal to the Association’s total retained earnings as of the latest balance sheet date in the final prospectus used in the conversion.  Each eligible account holder or supplemental account holder is entitled to a proportionate share of this liquidation account in the event of a complete liquidation of the Association, and only in such event.  This share will be reduced if the eligible account holder’s or supplemental account holder’s deposit balance falls below the amounts on the date of record as of any December 31 and will cease to exist if the account is closed.  The liquidation account will never be increased despite any increase after conversion in the related deposit balance.

The following is a summary of the amortized cost and fair value of securities at December 31, 2013 and 2012, by remaining period to contractual maturity. Actual maturities may differ from these amounts because certain debt security issuers have the right to call or redeem their obligations prior to contractual maturity. In addition, mortgage backed securities that amortize monthly are listed in the period the security is legally set to pay off in full.

The unrealized losses are primarily due to changes in market interest rates subsequent to purchase. At December 31, 2013, a total of 33 securities were in an unrealized loss position (8 at December 31, 2012). The Company generally purchases securities issued by Government Sponsored Enterprises (GSE). Accordingly, it is expected that the GSE securities would not be settled at a price less than the Company’s amortized cost basis. The Company does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 since the decline in market value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality and the Company has the intent and ability to hold these investments until there is a full recovery of the unrealized loss, which may be at maturity.

Activity in the allowance for loan losses is summarized as follows:

 

   Year Ended
December 31,
 
   2013   2012 
         
Balance at beginning of year  $314,490   $312,753 
Provision for loan losses   24,500    -

In the ordinary course of business, the Company makes loans to its directors, executive officers, and their associates (related parties) on the same terms as those prevailing at the time of origination for comparable loans with other borrowers. The unpaid principal balances of related party loans were approximately $260,000 and $292,000 at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

 

As of December 31, 2013 non-accrual loans totaled $369,054. As of December 31, 2013 there were no impaired or troubled debt restructured loans. As of December 31, 2013 Residential 1-4 family loans totaling $336,908 were 30-89 days delinquent. There were no impaired loans or loans on non-accrual status as of December 31, 2012. As of December 31, 2012, Residential 1-4 family loans, totaling $245,733, were 30-89 days delinquent. There were no other delinquent loans as of December 31, 2012.

 

The allowance for loan losses consists of specific, general and unallocated components. The specific component relates to loans that are classified as impaired. For loans that are classified as impaired, an allowance is established when the discounted cash flows (or collateral value or observable market price) of the impaired loan is lower than the carrying value of that loan. There are no specific allowances as of December 31, 2013 and 2012. The general component covers pools of loans by loan class not considered impaired, as well as smaller balance homogeneous loans, such as one-to-four family real estate, home equity lines of credit and other consumer loans.  These pools of loans are evaluated for loss exposure based upon historical loss rates for each of these categories of loans, adjusted for qualitative factors.  These qualitative risk factors include:

 

1.Lending policies and procedures, including underwriting standards and collection, charge-off, and recovery practices.

 

2.National, regional, and local economic and business conditions including the value of underlying collateral for collateral dependent loans.

 

3.Nature and volume of the portfolio and terms of loans.

 

4.Experience, ability, and depth of lending management and staff and the quality of the Association’s loan review system.

 

5.Volume and severity of past due, classified and nonaccrual loans.

 

6.Existence and effect of any concentrations of credit and changes in the level of such concentrations.

 

7.Effect of external factors, such as competition and legal and regulatory requirements.

 

Each factor is assigned a value to reflect improving, stable or declining conditions based on management’s best judgment using relevant information available at the time of the evaluation. Adjustments to the factors are supported through documentation of changes in conditions in a narrative accompanying the allowance for loan loss calculation.

An unallocated component is maintained to cover uncertainties that could affect management’s estimate of probable losses. The unallocated component of the allowance reflects the margin of imprecision inherent in the underlying assumptions used in the methodologies for estimating specific and general losses in the portfolio.

 

The allowance calculation methodology includes further segregation of loan classes into risk rating categories. The borrower’s overall financial condition, repayment sources, guarantors and value of collateral, if appropriate, are evaluated when credit deficiencies arise, such as delinquent loan payments. Credit quality risk ratings include regulatory classifications of pass, special mention, substandard, doubtful and loss.

 

Loan classifications are defined as follows:

 

Pass — These loans are well protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor (or guarantors, if any) or by the fair value, less cost to acquire and sell, of any underlying collateral in a timely manner.

 

Special Mention — These loans have potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of repayment prospects.

 

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

 

Doubtful — These loans have all the weaknesses inherent in a loan classified substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make the full recovery of our principal balance highly questionable and improbable on the basis of currently known facts, conditions, and values. The likelihood of a loss on an asset or portion of an asset classified as doubtful is high. Its classification as Loss is not appropriate, however, because pending events are expected to materially affect the amount of loss.

 

Loss — These loans are considered uncollectible and of such little value that a charge-off is warranted. This classification does not necessarily mean that an asset has no recovery or salvage value; but rather, there is much doubt about whether, how much, or when the recovery will occur.

Net deferred tax assets  $1,046,964   $422,827 

 

At December 31, 2013, the Company had a federal net operating loss carryover of $798,000 and a New York state net operating loss carryover of $780,000 available to offset future taxable income.

 

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Management believes that it is more likely than not that the tax benefits of certain future deductible temporary differences will be realized based on the reversal of existing temporary differences and future taxable income, and therefore, a valuation allowance has not been provided for these deferred tax assets. Additionally, management has determined that the realization of certain of the Association’s deferred tax assets related to the capital loss carryover is not more likely than not to be realized due to the fact that the loss can only be offset against capital gains, and as such, has provided a valuation allowance against those deferred tax assets at December 31, 2013 and 2012.

 

The Association qualifies as a savings and loan association under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and, therefore, was permitted, prior to January 1, 1996, to deduct from federal taxable income an allowance for bad debts based on eight percent of taxable income before such deduction less certain adjustments, subject to certain limitations. Beginning January 1, 1996, the Association, for federal income tax purposes, must calculate its bad debt deduction using either the experience or the specific charge off method. Retained earnings at December 31, 2013 included approximately $1,700,000 of such bad deductions for which income taxes have not been provided.

Pension Plan

 

All eligible Company employees are included in a non-contributory defined benefit pension plan. Effective April 15, 2008, the plan was “Frozen.” At the freeze date, no employee will be permitted to commence or recommence participation in the plan and no further benefits will accrue to any plan participants. In addition, compensation received on or after the plan freeze date will not be considered for any purpose under the plan.

 

The following table sets forth the change in benefit obligation, change in plan assets, and a reconciliation of the funded status:

Investment Policies and Strategies

 

Wilmington Trust Retirement & Institutional Services Company acts as Trustee for the Plan. The Plan assets are managed by Pinnacle Associates, Ltd.

 

The long-term investment objectives are to maintain plan assets at a level that will sufficiently cover long-term obligations and to generate a return on plan assets that will meet or exceed the rate at which long-term obligations will grow. A broadly diversified combination of equity and fixed income portfolios and various risk management techniques are used to help achieve these objectives.

Allowable investments include common stocks, preferred stocks, fixed income securities, depository receipts, money market funds, real estate investment trusts, and publicly traded limited partnerships with the following limitations:

 

·The account will be a balanced account, with a target of 60% equity securities and 40% fixed income securities ratio which may vary based on the portfolio manager’s discretion.

 

·The account will generally not invest more than 20% of its net assets in cash and cash equivalents.

 

·The account will invest, under normal circumstances, between 20% to 60% of its net assets in fixed income securities.

 

·The account will invest, under normal circumstances, between 30% to 80% of its net assets in equity securities. The equities will be mostly of a large capitalization nature.

 

·The account will generally hold between 50 to 90 equity securities.

 

·The maximum equity position size will be limited to 5% of net assets at the time of purchase.

 

·For equities, each significant economic sector will be considered for the investment.

 

·The account may invest up to 15% of its net assets in companies incorporated outside of the United States, at the time of purchase.

 

·The account will not sell securities short. Any short transactions in futures, swaps, structured products, and call options will apply to this limit.

 

The investment goal is to achieve investment results that will contribute to the proper funding of the pension plan by exceeding the rate of inflation over the long term.

 

Determination of Long-Term Rate-of-Return

 

The long-term rate-of-return-on-assets assumption was set based on historical returns earned by equities and fixed income securities, adjusted to reflect expectations of future returns as applied to the plan’s target allocation of asset classes. Equities and fixed income securities were assumed to earn real rates of return on in the ranges of 5-9% and 2-6%, respectively. The long-term inflation rate was estimated to be 3%. When these overall return expectations are applied to the plan’s target allocation, the result is an expected rate of return of 7% to 11%.

Employee Savings Plan

 

The Company also maintains a defined contribution plan for eligible employees under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. All employees who meet the plan eligibility requirements may elect to participate in the plan by making contributions ranging from 1% to 10% of their compensation. The Company makes matching contributions equal to 50% of the participant’s contributions that are not in excess of 3% of compensation. Savings plan expense was $26,379 and $24,859 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

 

Employee Stock Ownership Plan

 

The ESOP is a tax-qualified plan designed to invest primarily in the Company’s common stock that provides employees with the opportunity to receive a funded retirement benefit from the Association, based primarily on the value of the Company’s common stock. The ESOP was authorized to purchase, and did purchase, 55,545 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $10.00 per share with the proceeds of a loan from the Company to the ESOP. The outstanding loan principal balance at December 31, 2013 was $531,569. Shares of the Company’s common stock pledged as collateral for the loan are released from the pledge for allocation to participants as loan payments are made.

 

At December 31, 2013, shares available to be allocated to participants were 2,221 since the plan inception. ESOP shares that were unallocated or not yet committed to be released totaled 53,324 at December 31, 2013, and had a fair value of $504,000. ESOP compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $22,000 representing the fair value of shares allocated or committed to be released during the year.

Other Retirement Benefits

 

Effective June 2002, the Company entered into salary continuation agreements with certain of its officers. The agreements provide for specified benefit payments for life, 15-year period certain commencing at normal retirement, as well as payments upon early retirement, disability and death. The amounts payable under the agreements vest at an annual rate of 5% over 20 years and are computed as a specified percentage of a defined total compensation base, less (i) benefits under the Company’s pension plan, 401(k) plan and deferred compensation agreements, and (ii) a portion of social security benefits. The Association also entered into agreements providing for split-dollar life insurance death benefits based on each officer’s total compensation, as defined. The salary continuation and split-dollar agreements are unfunded, non-qualified benefits plans. However, the Company has purchased life insurance policies held by a Rabbit Trust in consideration of its obligations under the salary continuation agreements and certain prior deferred compensation agreements. During 2009, certain of these obligations were renegotiated by the Company with the purchase of annuity contracts. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, recorded obligations of $431,251 and $443,426, respectively, are included in other liabilities with respect to these agreements. The related life insurance policies are reported as assets at their cash surrender values of $2,008,494 and $1,944,934 at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Total expense/ (credit) under these plans was $(24,138) and $21,252 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Accumulated other comprehensive loss  $(1,266,952)  $(491,727)

 

11.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments

 

The Company is a party to certain financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers and to reduce its own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These financial instruments are limited to agreements to extend credit that involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the balance sheets. The contract or notional amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of the Association’s involvement in particular classes of financial instruments. The Company’s maximum exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other parties to these instruments represents the contract amounts, assuming that they are fully funded at a later date and any collateral proves to be worthless.

 

The Company had loan origination commitments of $1,242,000 and $812,000 at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The commitments at December 31, 2013 were fixed rate with interest rates ranging from 3.25% to 4.75%. In addition, the Company has outstanding undisbursed home equity and other lines of credit totaling $380,736 and $440,000 at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. These are contractual agreements to lend to customers within specified time periods at interest rates and on other terms based on existing market conditions.

11.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (Cont’d)

 

Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments (Cont’d)

 

Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may required the payment of a fee by the customer. The commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements since certain agreements may expire without being funded. The credit risk associated with these instruments is essentially the same as for outstanding loans reported in the balance sheets. Commitments are subject to the same credit approval process, including a case-by-case evaluation of the customer’s creditworthiness and related collateral requirements.

 

At December 31, 2013, the Company has a $1.0 million unsecured line of credit with Atlantic Central Bankers Bank which has no balance outstanding.

 

Legal Proceedings

 

The Company is not involved in any pending legal proceedings other than routine legal proceedings occurring in the ordinary course of business. At December 31, 2013, the Company is not involved in any legal proceedings, the outcome of which would be material to the financial statements.

 

12.   REGULATORY CAPITAL

 

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

 

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the Association to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of tangible and core capital (as defined in the regulations) to total assets and of total risk-based capital (as defined) to risk-weighted assets (as defined). As of December 31, 2013 and 2012 the Association was well capitalized as defined in the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There were no conditions or events since December 31, 2013 that management believes have changed the Association’s capital ratings.

 

The following table presents a reconciliation of the Association’s capital per GAAP and regulatory capital at the dates indicated (in thousands):

 

   December 31, 
   2013   2012

13.   FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND DISCLOSURES

 

A.   Fair Value Measurements

 

The Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC Topic 820 applies only to fair value measurements already required or permitted by other accounting standards and does not impose requirements for additional fair value measures. ASC Topic 820 was issued to increase consistency and comparability in reporting fair values.

 

The Company uses fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and to determine fair value disclosures. The Company did not have any liabilities that were measured at fair value at December 31, 2013 and 2012. Securities available-for-sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, from time to time, the Company may be required to record at fair value other assets or liabilities on a non-recurring basis, such as foreclosed real estate owned and certain impaired loans. These non-recurring fair value adjustments generally involve the write-down of individual assets due to impairment losses.

 

In accordance with ASC Topic 820, the Company groups its assets at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. These levels are:

 

Level 1 — Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.

 

Level 2 — Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.

13.  FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND DISCLOSURES (Cont’d)

 

A.  Fair Value Measurements (Cont’d)

 

Level 3 — Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use significant assumptions not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect the Company’s own estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include the use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques. The results cannot be determined with precision and may not be realized in an actual sale or immediate settlement of the asset or liability.

 

The Company bases its fair values on the price that would be received to sell an asset in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC Topic 820 requires the Company to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

 

Assets that are measured on a recurring basis are limited to the available-for-sale securities portfolio. The available-for-sale portfolio is carried at estimated fair value with any unrealized gains and losses, net of taxes, reported as accumulated other comprehensive income or loss in stockholders’ equity. Substantially all of the available-for-sale portfolio consists of investment securities issued by government-sponsored enterprises. The fair values for substantially all of these securities are obtained from an independent securities broker. Based on the nature of the securities, the securities broker provides the Company with prices which are categorized as Level 2 since quoted prices in active markets for identical assets are generally not available for the majority of securities in the portfolio.

 

The following table provides the level of valuation assumptions used to determine the carrying value of assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2013 and 2012:

There were no assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis at December 31, 2013 and 2012.

 

B.   Fair Value Disclosures

 

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair values of financial instruments as disclosed herein.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For cash and due from banks and federal funds sold, the carrying amount approximates the fair value (Level 1).

 

Securities

 

The fair value of securities is estimated based on bid quotations received from securities dealers, if available (Level 1). If a quoted market price was not available, fair value was estimated using quoted market prices of similar instruments, adjusted for differences between the quoted instruments and the instruments being valued (Level 2).

FHLB Stock

 

The fair value for FHLB stock is its carrying value, since this is the amount for which it could be redeemed. There is no active market for this stock, and the Company is required to maintain a minimum balance based upon the unpaid principal of home mortgage loans (Level 2).

 

Loans Receivable

 

Fair values are estimated for portfolios of loans with similar financial characteristics. Loans are segregated by type such as residential mortgage, commercial, and consumer. Each loan category is further segmented into fixed and adjustable rate interest terms and by performing and nonperforming categories (Level 3).

 

Deposits

 

The fair value of deposits with no stated maturity, such as non-interest-bearing demand deposits, savings, and NOW and money market accounts, is equal to the amount payable on demand (Level 1). The fair value of certificates of deposit is based on the discounted value of contractual cash flows. The discount rate is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits with similar remaining maturities (Level 2).

 

Short-Term Borrowings

 

The carrying amounts of federal funds purchased, and other short-term borrowings maturing within 90 days approximate their fair values. Fair values of other short-term borrowings are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements (Level 1).

 

Long-Term Borrowings

 

The fair value of long-term borrowings is estimated using discounted cash flow analysis based on the current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements (Level 2).

 

Off-Balance-Sheet Instruments

 

In the ordinary course of business the Company has entered into off-balance-sheet financial instruments consisting of commitments to extend credit. Such financial instruments are recorded in the financial statements when they are funded. Their fair value would approximate fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements. For further information on these financial instruments, see Note 10.

   Carrying   Estimated   Carrying   Estimated 
   Value   Fair Value   Value   Fair Value

Financial assets:

Securities held to maturity   4,667    4,809    10,181    10,654 
Securities available for sale   38,240    38,240    33,217    33,217 
Loans receivable   40,040    40,180    39,905    42,223

Financial liabilities:                    
Deposits   78,025    78,533    86,186    86,837 

 

The fair value estimates are made at a discrete point in time based on relevant market information and information about the financial instruments. Fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates. Further, the foregoing estimates may not reflect the actual amount that could be realized if all or substantially all of the financial instruments were offered for sale.

 

In addition, the fair value estimates were based on existing on-and-off balance sheet financial instruments without attempting to value the anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments. Other significant assets and liabilities that are not considered financial assets and liabilities include premises and equipment and advances from borrowers for taxes and insurance. In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in any of the estimates.

 

Finally, reasonable comparability between financial institutions may not be likely due to the wide range of permitted valuation techniques and numerous estimates which must be made given the absence of active secondary markets for many of the financial instruments. The lack of uniform valuation methodologies introduces a greater degree of subjectivity to these estimated fair values.
