Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

 

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS

 

Ottawa Savings Bancorp, Inc. (the Company) is the federally chartered savings and loan holding company of Ottawa Savings Bank (the Bank) and was formed upon completion of the Bank’s reorganization from a mutual to stock form of organization on July 5, 2005.

 

The Bank is a community and customer oriented savings bank. The Bank’s business has historically consisted of attracting deposits from the general public and using those funds to originate one- to four-family residential loans, consumer loans and other loans. The Bank completed its plan of conversion on July 5, 2005 (see Note 5), and upon which the Bank converted from an Illinois-chartered mutual savings bank to a federally-chartered mutual savings bank. The Bank completed its reorganization on that same date, pursuant to which the Bank converted from a federally-chartered mutual savings bank to a federally-chartered stock savings bank, all of the outstanding stock of which was issued to Ottawa Savings Bancorp, Inc. As part of the reorganization, Ottawa Savings Bancorp, Inc. issued 1,001,210 shares to the public and 1,223,701 shares to Ottawa Savings Bancorp, MHC. Ottawa Savings Bank MHC is a federally chartered mutual holding company.

 

NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The consolidated financial statements presented in this quarterly report include the accounts of the Company. The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and predominant practices followed by the financial services industry, and are unaudited. Interim statements are subject to possible adjustment in connection with the annual audit of the Company. In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which the Company considers necessary to fairly state the Company’s financial position and the results of operations and cash flows have been recorded. The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and accompanying notes of the Bank for the year ended December 31, 2004. The results of the Company’s operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of the Company’s operations for any other interim period or for a full fiscal year.

 

NOTE 3 – USE OF ESTIMATES

 

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

 

At September 30, 2005, there were no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies or critical accounting estimates from those disclosed in the Registration Statement on Form SB-2, as amended, initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 18, 2005 and declared effective on May 16, 2005 (File Number 333-123455).

 

NOTE 4 – CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

 

We consider accounting policies involving significant judgments and assumptions by management that have, or could have, a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets or income to be critical accounting policies. We consider the allowance for loan losses, market value of investment securities available for sale and the liability for postretirement benefits to be our critical accounting policies.

Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is an amount necessary to absorb known or inherent losses that are both probable and reasonably estimable and is established through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon management’s periodic review of the collectibility of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect each borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available.

 

Market value of investment securities available for sale. Market values for investment securities are provided monthly by a third party service provider. Management is also responsible for evaluating all investments with unrealized losses on a regular basis to determine whether investments with unrealized losses should be written down to realizable amounts. Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation. Consideration is given to (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) our intent and ability to retain our investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

 

Liability for post retirement benefits. The liability for post retirement benefits was estimated based upon an actuarial report obtained by Company management from an experienced, third party actuary. Assumptions used by the actuary in the calculation include discount rates, current and future health care costs, life expectancies, and employee years of service.

 

NOTE 5 – ADOPTION OF PLAN OF CONVERSION

 

On January 20, 2005, the Board of Directors of the Bank unanimously adopted a plan of conversion, under which the Bank would be converted from an Illinois chartered mutual savings bank to a Federally chartered mutual savings bank. Pursuant to the Bank’s plan of reorganization, the Bank converted from a Federally chartered mutual savings bank to a Federally chartered stock savings bank. All of the common stock of the Bank following the reorganization is held by Ottawa Savings Bancorp, Inc. The members of the Bank approved the plan of conversion at a meeting held on May 5, 2005. The members of the Bank approved the plan of reorganization at a meeting held on June 28, 2005.

 

In adopting the plan, the Board of Directors of the Bank determined that the conversion was advisable and in the best interests of its members and the Bank and that the conversion would not have any adverse impact on the reserves and net worth of the Bank.

 

The conversion was completed on July 5, 2005 when the Company issued 1,001,210 shares of common stock to the public resulting in $10,012,100 of gross proceeds. An additional 1,223,701 shares were issued to the mutual holding company formed as part of the reorganization, Ottawa Savings Bancorp, MHC. Costs to complete the stock offering and conversion to a federal charter of $1,469,411 were deducted from the gross proceeds of the offering.

NOTE 7 – EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN

 

On July 5, 2005, the Company adopted an employee stock ownership plan (“ESOP”) for the benefit of substantially all employees. The ESOP borrowed $763,140 from the Company and used those funds to acquire 76,314 shares of the Company’s stock at a price of $10.00 per share.

 

Shares issued to the ESOP are allocated to ESOP participants based on principal and interest repayments made by the ESOP on the loan. The loan is secured by shares purchased with the loan proceeds and will be repaid by the ESOP with funds from the Bank’s discretionary contributions to the ESOP and earnings on ESOP assets.

 

The $763,140 loan for the ESOP purchase was borrowed from the Company and requires annual principal payments to be made by the ESOP of approximately $76,000, plus interest at 6.25%.

 

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

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic concerns warrant such evaluation. Consideration is given to (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

 

The unrealized losses at September 30, 2005 relate principally to interest rates relative to the market. In analyzing an issuer’s financial condition, management considers whether the securities are issued by the federal government or its agencies, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred, and industry analysts’ reports. As management has the ability to hold debt securities until maturity, or for the foreseeable future if classified as available for sale, no declines are deemed to be other than temporary.

GENERAL

 

During the period from March 2000 until April 2004, as part of our investment activities, the Bank purchased loan participations from Commercial Loan Corporation of Oak Brook, Illinois (CLC). In April 2004, the Bank was informed by its regulators, the FDIC and Illinois Office of Banks and Real Estate (“OBRE”), that CLC had misappropriated funds from loans it was servicing for others. At that time, the Bank had 39 outstanding loan participations with CLC in the aggregate amount of approximately $15 million. In May 2004, CLC filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. In December 2004, CLC’s remaining assets were transferred to the CLC Creditors Trust.

 

In December 2004, the Bank received a payment of $5.6 million in cash and loans from the CLC Creditors Trust. This payment included $784,000 in residential condominium loans, $2.5 million in commercial real estate loans, $518,000 in commercial lines of credit, $153,000 in residential real estate loans and $1.6 million in cash. Although the Bank has retained certain unsecured claims against the CLC Creditors Trust, the Bank has written off the remaining $9.3 million of the Bank’s investment in the CLC loan participations. The Bank’s financial results reflect these losses in the years in which they occurred. Any future recoveries of amounts previously charged off will be recorded as a recovery to the allowance for loan loss.

 

COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AT SEPTEMBER 30, 2005 AND DECEMBER 31, 2004

 

The Company’s total assets increased $13.4 million, or 7.9%, to $182.7 million at September 30, 2005, from $169.3 million at December 31, 2004. The increase reflected growth in securities available for sale of $5.5 million and an increase in cash and cash equivalents of $5.1 million, funded by increased deposits and the sale of stock in the initial public offering of Ottawa Savings Bancorp, Inc.

 

Cash and cash equivalents increased $5.1 million to $10.1 million at September 30, 2005 from $5.0 million at December 31, 2004, and these funds were reinvested in loans and available for sale securities in accordance with the Company’s policy of maximizing its return on assets.

 

Securities available for sale increased $5.5 million, or 18.0%, to $36.1 million at September 30, 2005 from $30.6 million at December 31, 2004. The increase was the result of investment of additional funds available from the increase in customer deposits and the sale of stock in the initial public offering of Ottawa Savings Bancorp, Inc.

 

Loans increased $3.7 million, or 3.3%, to $118.6 million at September 30, 2005, from $114.8 million at December 31, 2004. The increase in loans was the result of normal activity in our loan portfolio.

 

Total deposits increased $5.0 million, or 3.2%, to $161.7 million at September 30, 2005, from $156.7 million at December 31, 2004. The increase reflects normal activity in our deposit accounts.

 

Equity increased $8.1 million, or 73.6%, to $19.1 million at September 30, 2005, from $11.0 million at December 31, 2004. This increase in equity reflects net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 of $714,000 offset by a decrease in other comprehensive income of $392,000 for the same period, which was due to the change in value of the available for sale securities portfolio triggered by an increase in interest rates, and the addition of $8.5 million of additional capital from the sale of the stock in the initial public offering of Ottawa Savings Bancorp, Inc., net of unallocated ESOP Shares of $763,000.

 

COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATION FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2005 AND 2004

 

Net Income. The Company had net income of $211,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2005, compared to net income of $313,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2004. The decrease in net income was principally due to an increase in net interest income and other income of $70,000, which was offset by an increase of $74,000 in non-interest expense and an increase in income tax expense of $121,000.

 

Interest and Dividend Income. Interest and dividend income increased $263,000, or 13.1%, to $2.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005. This increase in interest and dividend income was primarily due to an increase in the average yield on interest earning assets to 5.48% from 5.06%, and an increase of $6.8 million in

 

12


Table of Contents

average interest earning assets to $165.9 million from $159.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004.

 

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $208,000, or 20.8%, to $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005, from $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004. This increase in interest expense reflects an increase of $11.4 million in average deposits, and an increase in the cost of deposits to 3.04% from 2.71% for the three months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004.

 

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $56,000, or 5.5%, to $1.1 million for the three months ended September 2005, from $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004.

 

Provision for Loan Losses. For the three months ended September 30, 2005 management made no additions to the provision for loan losses. Management established a loss provision for the three months ended September 30, 2004 of $22,500 based on a general review of the loans that were in the loan portfolio at September 30, 2004. Management believes that the allowance as of September 30, 2005 is maintained at a level that represents its best estimate of inherent losses in the loan portfolio that were both probable and reasonably estimable.

 

Other Income. Other income increased $14,000, or 55.4%, to $41,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2005, from $26,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2004. The increase was primarily the result of an increase in customer service fees and gains on sale of loans.

 

Other Expenses. Other expenses increased $74,000, or 11.4%, to $725,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2005 from $651,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2004. The increases were primarily due to increases in compensation and benefits of $36,000, occupancy expense of $25,000 and other expenses of $44,000, partially offset by a decrease in professional and legal fees of $33,000. For the three month period ended September 30, 2005, salaries and employee benefits increased $36,000 to $379,000 from $345,000 for the three month period ended September 30, 2004. The increases in salaries and employee benefits was the result of the Company accruing for its Incentive Compensation Plan and increases in the cost of the Defined Benefit Retirement Plan. In the prior year period the Bank did not make any accruals for the Incentive Compensation Plan. The increase in occupancy expense is the result of increased real estate taxes and depreciation due to the completion of the office expansion. The decrease in the other legal expense is the result of lesser ongoing fees from the CLC bankruptcy. The increase in other expenses was primarily due to a $15,000 increase in supervisory fees.

 

Income Taxes. Income tax expense was $170,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2005, compared to an income tax expense of $49,000 for the same period in 2004. The income tax expense/benefit is a direct result of the pre tax income/loss for the applicable period. The effective tax rates for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 were 44.7% and 13.6%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the 2004 period is lower than typical while the effective tax rate for the 2005 period is higher than normal. Management expects that future effective tax rates will be comparable to the rates experienced in the nine month periods reported herein.

 

COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATION FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2005 AND 2004.

 

Net Income. The Company had net income of $714,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, compared to a net loss of $3.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. The increase in net income was principally the result of a $7.4 million decrease in our provision for loan losses due to the provision recorded in the first half of 2004 as a result of the CLC loans.

 

Interest and Dividend Income. Interest and dividend income increased $522,000, or 8.4%, to $6.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. This increase in interest and dividend income was primarily due to an increase in the average yield on interest earning assets to 5.56% from 5.36%, and an increase of $5.2 million in average interest earning assets to $161.3 million from $156.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004.

 

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $427,000, or 14.2%, to $3.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, from $3.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. This increase in interest expense reflects an increase of $14.4 million in average deposits, and an increase in the cost of deposits to 2.89% from 2.78% for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004.

 

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $94,000, or 3.0%, to $3.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, from $3.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004.

Table of Contents

Provision for Loan Losses. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005 management made no additions to the provision for loan losses. Management established a loss provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 of $7.4 million based on the amount of CLC loans that were in the loan portfolio at September 30, 2004 as well as a general review of the portfolio on such date. Management believes that the allowance as of September 30, 2005 is maintained at a level that represents its best estimate of inherent losses in the loan portfolio that were both probable and reasonably estimable.

 

Other Income. Other income increased $81,000, or 65.4%, to $205,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, from $124,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. The increase was primarily the result of the Bank receiving reimbursement of organization expenses for the CLC Creditors Trust in the amount of $74,000.

 

Other Expenses. Other expenses increased $440,000, or 23.4%, to $2.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 from $1.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. The increases were primarily due to increases in fees for audit, accounting, and compliance, and legal fees of $174,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, caused by matters relating to the CLC loans and the audit of our 2004 and 2003 financial statements. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2005 data processing fees increased $35,000 to $157,000 from $122,000 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2004. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2005, salaries and employee benefits increased $127,000 to $1.1 million from $1.0 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2004. The increases in salaries and employee benefits was the result of the Company accruing for its Incentive Compensation Plan and increases in the cost of the Defined Benefit Retirement Plan. In the prior year period the Bank did not make any accruals for the Incentive Compensation Plan. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2005 occupancy expense increased $48,000 to $223,000 from $175,000 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2004 as a result of increased real estate taxes and depreciation due to the completion of the office expansion project.

 

Income Taxes. Income tax expense was $459,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, compared to an income tax benefit of $2.1 million for the same period in 2004. The income tax expense/benefit is a direct result of the pre tax income/loss for the applicable period. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 was 39.12% and 35.25%, respectively.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

Liquidity. Liquidity management for the Bank is measured and monitored on both a short- and long-term basis, allowing management to better understand and react to emerging balance sheet trends. After assessing actual and projected cash flow needs, management seeks to obtain funding at the most economical cost to the Bank. Our primary sources of funds are deposits, amortization, prepayments and maturities of outstanding loans and mortgage-backed and related securities, and other short term investments, and funds provided from operations. While scheduled payments from amortization of loans and mortgage-backed related securities and maturing investment securities and short term investments are relatively predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. We invest excess funds in short-term interest-earning assets, which enable us to meet lending requirements. We utilize Federal Home Loan Bank advances as needed. There were no Federal Home Loan Bank advances at September 30, 2005 or at December 31, 2004.

 

At September 30, 2005 the Bank had outstanding commitments to originate $5.9 million in loans, and unfunded lines of credit of $7.7 million. In addition, as of September 30, 2005, the total amount of certificates of deposit that were scheduled to mature in the following 12 months was $62.0 million. The Bank believes that it has adequate resources to fund all of its commitments and that it can adjust the rate on certificates of deposit to retain deposits in changing interest rate environments. If the Bank requires funds beyond its internal funding capabilities, advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago are available as an additional source of funds. As of September 30, 2005 the Bank had $53 million of available credit from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago.

 

From December 31, 2004 through September 30, 2005, we received proceeds of $6.6 million from maturities, calls and paydowns of available for sale and held to maturity securities. These proceeds were primarily reinvested in available for sale securities.

 

Capital. The Bank is required to maintain regulatory capital sufficient to meet Tier 1 leverage, Tier 1 risk-based and total risk-based capital ratios of at least 4.0%, 4.0% and 8.0%, respectively. The Bank exceeded each of

 

14


Table of Contents

its capital requirements with ratios at September 30, 2005 of 9.40%, 18.47% and 18.91%, respectively, and with ratios at December 31, 2004 of 5.44%, 8.63%, and 9.04%, respectively.

 

ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Controls and Procedures

 

As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information to be included in the Company’s periodic SEC reports. It should be noted that the design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.

 

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

 

Part II – Other Information
