ITEM 1 - BUSINESS
Business
Consumers Bancorp, Inc. (Corporation), is a bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended and is a registered bank holding company, and was incorporated under the laws of the State of Ohio in 1994. In February 1995, the Corporation acquired all the issued and outstanding capital stock of Consumers National Bank (Bank), a bank chartered under the laws of the United States of America. The Corporation’s activities have been limited primarily to holding the common stock of the Bank.
Since 1965, the Bank’s main office has been serving the Minerva, Ohio area from its location at 614 East Lincoln Way, Minerva, Ohio. The Bank’s business involves attracting deposits from businesses and individual customers and using such deposits to originate commercial, mortgage and consumer loans in its market area, consisting primarily of Stark, Columbiana, Carroll and contiguous counties in Ohio. The Bank currently has twelve branch locations. The Bank also invests in securities consisting primarily of obligations of U.S. government sponsored entities, municipal obligations and mortgage-backed securities issued by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae.
Supervision and Regulation
The Corporation is supervised by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Federal Reserve Board) and the Bank is subject to supervision, regulation and periodic examination by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC). Earnings of the Corporation are affected by state and federal laws and regulations and by policies of various regulatory authorities. Changes in applicable law or in the policies of various regulatory authorities could affect materially the business and prospects of the Corporation and the Bank. The following discussion of supervision and regulation is qualified in its entirety by reference to the statutory and regulatory provisions discussed.
Regulation of the Corporation:
The Bank Holding Company Act: As a bank holding company, the Corporation is subject to regulation under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (BHCA) and the examination and reporting requirements of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Federal Reserve Board). Under the BHCA, the Corporation is subject to periodic examination by the Federal Reserve Board and required to file periodic reports regarding its operations and any additional information that the Federal Reserve Board may require.
The BHCA generally limits the activities of a bank holding company to banking, managing or controlling banks, furnishing services to or performing services for its subsidiaries and engaging in any other activities that the Federal Reserve Board has determined to be so closely related to banking or to managing or controlling banks as to be a proper incident to those activities. In addition, the BHCA requires every bank holding company to obtain the approval of the Federal Reserve Board prior to acquiring substantially all the assets of any bank, acquiring direct or indirect ownership or control of more than 5% of the voting shares of a bank or merging or consolidating with another bank holding company.
Under Federal Reserve Board policy, a bank holding company is expected to act as a source of financial strength to each subsidiary bank and to commit resources to support those subsidiary banks. Under this policy, the Federal Reserve Board may require a bank holding company to contribute additional capital to an undercapitalized subsidiary bank and may disapprove of the payment of dividends to shareholders if the Federal Reserve Board believes the payment of such dividends would be an unsafe or unsound practice. The Federal Reserve Board has extensive enforcement authority over bank holding companies for violations of laws and regulations and unsafe or unsound practices.
Privacy Provisions of Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act: The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 contains extensive provisions on a customer’s right to privacy of non-public personal information. Under these provisions, a financial institution must provide to its customers the institution’s policies and procedures regarding the handling of customers’ non-public personal information. Except in certain cases, an institution may not provide personal information to unaffiliated third parties unless the institution discloses that such information may be disclosed and the customer is given the opportunity to opt out of such disclosure. The Corporation and the Bank are also subject to certain state laws that deal with the use and distribution of non-public personal information.
Sarbanes-Oxley Act: The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 contains important requirements for public companies in the area of financial disclosure and corporate governance. In accordance with section 302(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, written certifications by the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are required. These certifications attest that the Corporation’s quarterly and annual reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact.
Regulation of the Bank:
As a national bank, Consumers National Bank is subject to regulation, supervision and examination by the OCC and by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). These examinations are designed primarily for the protection of the depositors of the Bank.
Dividend Restrictions: Dividends from the Bank are the primary source of funds for payment of dividends to our shareholders. However, there are statutory limits on the amount of dividends the Bank can pay without regulatory approval. Under regulations promulgated by the OCC, the Bank may not declare a dividend in excess of its undivided profits. Additionally, the Bank may not declare a dividend if the total amount of all dividends, including the proposed dividend, declared by the Bank in any calendar year exceeds the total of its retained net income of that year to date, combined with its retained net income of the two preceding years, unless the dividend is approved by the OCC. The Bank may not declare or pay any dividend if, after making the dividend, the Bank would be “undercapitalized,” as defined in the federal regulations.
FDIC: The FDIC is an independent federal agency, which insures the deposits of federally insured banks and savings associations up to certain prescribed limits and safeguards the safety and soundness of financial institutions. The deposits of the Bank are subject to the deposit insurance assessments of the Bank Insurance Fund of the FDIC. Under the FDIC’s deposit insurance assessment system, the assessment rate for any insured institution varies according to regulatory capital levels of the institution and other factors such as supervisory evaluations.
The FDIC is authorized to prohibit any insured institution from engaging in any activity that poses a serious threat to the insurance fund and may initiate enforcement actions against banks, after first giving the institution’s primary regulatory authority an opportunity to take such action. The FDIC may also terminate the deposit insurance of any institution that has engaged in or is engaging in unsafe or unsound practices, is in an unsafe or unsound condition to continue operations or has violated any applicable law, order or condition imposed by the FDIC.
FHLB: The Bank is also a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati (FHLB), which is a privately capitalized, government sponsored enterprise that expands housing and economic development opportunities throughout the nation by providing loans and other banking services to community-based financial institutions.
Risk-Based Capital Requirements: The Federal Reserve Board and the OCC employ similar risk-based capital guidelines in their examination and regulation of bank holding companies and national banks. As of the fiscal year-end 2013, the Corporation met the definition of a Small Bank Holding Company and, therefore, was exempt from consolidated risk-based and coverage capital adequacy guidelines for bank holding companies. The guidelines involve a process of assigning various risk weights to different classes of assets, then evaluating the sum of the risk-weighted balance sheet structure against the capital base. If capital falls below the minimum levels established by the guidelines, the bank holding company or bank may be denied approval to acquire or establish additional banks or non-bank businesses or to open new facilities. In addition, failure to satisfy capital guidelines could subject a banking institution to a variety of enforcement actions by federal bank regulatory authorities, including the termination of deposit insurance by the FDIC and a prohibition on the acceptance of “brokered deposits.”
Under regulations adopted under these provisions, for an institution to be well capitalized it must have a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 10%, a Tier I risk-based capital ratio of at least 6% and a Tier I leverage ratio of at least 5% and not be subject to any specific capital order or directive. The OCC and the FDIC may take various corrective actions against any undercapitalized bank and any bank that fails to submit an acceptable capital restoration plan or fails to implement a plan accepted by the OCC or the FDIC. These powers include, but are not limited to, requiring the institution to be recapitalized, prohibiting asset growth, restricting interest rates paid, requiring prior approval of capital distributions by any bank holding company that controls the institution, requiring divestiture by the institution of its subsidiaries or by the holding company of the institution itself, requiring new election of directors, and requiring the dismissal of directors and officers. The OCC’s final supervisory judgment concerning an institution’s capital adequacy could differ significantly from the conclusions that might be derived from the absolute level of an institution’s risk-based capital ratios. Therefore, institutions generally are expected to maintain risk-based capital ratios that exceed the minimum ratios. At June 30, 2013, the Bank was in compliance with all regulatory capital requirements.
Basel III Capital Rules. In July 2013, the Federal Reserve Board published final rules (the Basel III Capital Rules) establishing a new comprehensive capital framework for U.S. banking organizations. The rules implement the Basel Committee’s December 2010 framework known as “Basel III” for strengthening international capital standards as well as certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act. The Basel III Capital Rules substantially revise the risk-based capital requirements applicable to the Bank compared to the current U.S. risk-based capital rules.
The Basel III Capital rules include new risk-based capital and leverage ratios, which are effective on January 1, 2015, and refine the definition of what constitutes “capital” for purposes of calculating those ratios. The new minimum capital level requirements will require the Bank to maintain: (i) a new common equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 4.5%; (ii) a Tier 1 capital ratio of 6% (increased from 4%); (iii) a total capital ratio of 8% (unchanged from current rules); and (iv) a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 4%. The rule also established a “capital conservation buffer” of 2.5% above the new regulatory minimum capital requirements, which must consist entirely of common equity Tier 1 capital and results in the following minimum ratios: (i) a common equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 7.0%, (ii) a Tier 1 capital ratio of 8.5%, and (iii) a total capital ratio of 10.5%. The new capital conservation buffer requirement will be phased in beginning in January 2016 at 0.625% of risk-weighted assets and increase by that amount each year until fully implemented in January 2019. The capital conservation buffer is designed to absorb losses during periods of economic stress. Banking institutions with a common equity Tier 1 ratio to risk-weighted assets above the minimum but below the conservation buffer will face constraints on dividends, equity repurchases and compensation based on the amount of the shortfall.
Dodd-Frank Act: Federal regulators continue to implement many provisions of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the Dodd-Frank Act), which was signed into law on July 21, 2010. The Dodd-Frank Act created many new restrictions and an expanded framework of regulatory oversight for financial institutions, including depository institutions. Currently, federal regulators are still in the process of implementing many portions of the Dodd-Frank Act. The Corporation is closely monitoring all relevant sections of the Dodd-Frank Act to ensure continued compliance with these regulatory requirements. The following discussion summarizes significant aspects of the Dodd-Frank Act that may affect the Corporation and the Bank:
·Centralize responsibility for consumer financial protection by creating a new agency, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, responsible for implementing, examining and enforcing compliance with federal consumer financial laws.
·Require the OCC to seek to make its capital requirements for national banks, countercyclical so that capital requirements increase in times of economic expansion and decrease in times of economic contraction.
·Change the assessment base for federal deposit insurance from the amount of insured deposits to consolidated assets less tangible capital, eliminate the ceiling of the Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF) and increase the floor of the DIF, which generally will reduce the level of assessments for institutions with assets below $10 billion and increase the level of assessments for institutions with assets in excess of $10 billion.
·Implement corporate governance revisions, including with regard to executive compensation and proxy access by shareholders, which apply to all public companies, not just financial institutions.
·Permanently increases the federal deposit insurance limit to $250,000.
·Repeal the federal prohibitions on the payment of interest on demand deposits, thereby permitting depository institutions to pay interest on business transaction and other accounts effective one year after the bill was signed into law.
·Amend the Electronic Fund Transfer Act to, among other things, give the Federal Reserve the authority to establish rules regarding interchange fees charged for electronic debit transactions by payment card issuers having assets over $10 billion and to enforce a new statutory requirement that such fees be reasonable and proportional to the actual cost of a transaction to the issuer.
·Make permanent SOX 404 (B) exemption regarding auditor attestation requirements for companies with less than $75 million in market capitalization.
Many aspects of the Dodd-Frank Act are subject to rulemaking and will take effect over several years, making it difficult to anticipate the overall financial impact on the Corporation, its customers or the financial industry more generally. We will continue to monitor legislative developments and assess their potential impact on our business.
Interstate Banking and Branching: The Interstate Banking and Branch Efficiency Act of 1995 has eased restrictions on interstate expansion and consolidation of banking operations by, among other things: (i) permitting interstate bank acquisitions regardless of host state laws, (ii) permitting interstate merger of banks unless specific states have opted out of this provision, and (iii) permitting banks to establish new branches outside the state provided the law of the host state specifically allows interstate bank branching.
Community Reinvestment Act: The Community Reinvestment Act requires depository institutions to assist in meeting the credit needs of their market areas, including low and moderate-income areas, consistent with safe and sound banking practices. Under this Act, each institution is required to adopt a statement for each of its market areas describing the depository institution’s efforts to assist in its community’s credit needs. Depository institutions are periodically examined for compliance and assigned ratings. Banking regulators consider these ratings when considering approval of a proposed transaction by an institution.
USA Patriot Act: In 2001, Congress enacted the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism (USA Patriot Act) Act of 2001 (Patriot Act). The Patriot Act is designed to deny terrorists and criminals the ability to obtain access to the United States’ financial system and has significant implications for depository institutions, brokers, dealers, and other businesses involved in the transfer of money. The Patriot Act mandates financial services companies to implement additional policies and procedures with respect to additional measures designed to address any or all of the following matters: money laundering, terrorist financing, identifying and reporting suspicious activities and currency transactions, and currency crimes.
Employees
As of June 30, 2013, the Bank employed 105 full-time and 19 part-time employees. None of the employees are represented by a collective bargaining group. Management considers its relations with employees to be good.

The Corporation had 2,068,610 common shares outstanding on June 30, 2013 with 759 shareholders of record and an estimated 307 additional beneficial holders whose stock was held in nominee name.
The common shares of Consumers Bancorp, Inc. are traded on the over-the-counter bulletin board. The following quoted market prices reflect inter-dealer prices, without adjustments for retail markups, markdowns, or commissions and may not represent actual transactions. The market prices represent highs and lows reported during the quarterly period.
Management does not have knowledge of the prices paid in all transactions and has not verified the accuracy of those prices that have been reported. Because of the lack of an established market for the Corporation’s common shares, these prices may not reflect the prices at which the common shares would trade in an active market.
The Corporation’s management is currently committed to continuing to pay regular cash dividends; however, there can be no assurance as to future dividends because they are dependent on the Corporation’s future earnings, capital requirements and financial condition. The Corporation’s principal source of funds for dividend payment is dividends received from the Bank. Banking regulations limit the amount of dividends that may be paid without prior approval of regulatory agencies. Under these regulations, the amount of dividends that may be paid in any calendar year is limited to the current year’s net profits, combined with the retained net profits of the preceding two years, subject to the capital requirements described above. See Note 1 and Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation for dividend restrictions.
There were no repurchases of the Corporation’s securities during the 2013 fiscal year.

(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)
General
The following is management’s analysis of the Corporation’s financial condition and results of operations as of and for the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. This discussion is designed to provide a more comprehensive review of the operating results and financial position than could be obtained from an examination of the financial statements alone. This analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related footnotes and the selected financial data included elsewhere in this report.
Overview
Consumers Bancorp, Inc., a bank holding company incorporated under the laws of the State of Ohio, owns all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Consumers National Bank, a bank chartered under the laws of the United States of America. The Corporation’s activities have been limited primarily to holding the common stock of the Bank. The Bank’s business involves attracting deposits from businesses and individual customers and using such deposits to originate commercial, mortgage and consumer loans in its market area, consisting primarily of Stark, Columbiana, Carroll and contiguous counties in Ohio. The Bank also invests in securities consisting primarily of U.S. government sponsored entities, municipal obligations, mortgage-backed and collateralized mortgage obligations issued by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae.
Comparison of Results of Operations for the Years Ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012
Net Income. Net income decreased by $95, or 3.4%, from 2012 to 2013. The following key factors summarize our results of operations for the year ended June 30, 2013:
·net interest income increased by $320, or 2.8%, in 2013 from 2012;
·loan loss provision expense in 2013 totaled $337 compared to $315 in 2012;
·total other income increased by $198, or 7.6%, primarily due to an increase in gains from the sale of mortgage loans and investment advisory and brokerage income; and
·total other expenses increased $756, or 7.3% in 2013, principally as a result of higher salary and employee benefits due to staff hired in the lending area and new staff for the Jackson-Belden office that opened July 31, 2012. Also, occupancy and equipment expense increased primarily as a result of higher depreciation expense associated with the Minerva, Ohio location since a new facility is planned to replace the current facility in 2015.
Return on average equity and return on average assets were 9.21% and 0.78%, respectively, for the 2013 fiscal year-to-date period compared to 10.29% and 0.87%, respectively, for the same period last year.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income, the difference between interest income earned on interest-earning assets and interest expense incurred on interest-bearing liabilities, is the largest component of the Corporation’s earnings. Net interest income is affected by changes in the volumes, rates and composition of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest margin is calculated by dividing net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis (FTE) by total interest-earning assets. FTE income includes tax-exempt income, restated to a pre-tax equivalent, based on the statutory federal income tax rate. All average balances are daily average balances. Non-accruing loans are included in average loan balances.
Net interest income for the 2013 fiscal year was $11,939, an increase of $320, or 2.8%, from $11,619 in the 2012 fiscal year. The Corporation’s tax equivalent net interest margin for the year ended June 30, 2013 was 3.90%, a decrease of 14 basis points from 2012. Interest income for the 2013 fiscal year was $13,141, an increase of $63, or 0.5%, from $13,078 in the 2012 fiscal year. An increase of $22,545, or 7.4%, in average interest-earning assets more than offset the impact the low interest rate environment has had on the yield of average interest-earning assets. Interest expense for the 2013 fiscal year was $1,202, a decrease of $257, or 17.6%, from $1,459 in the 2012 fiscal year. This decrease was mainly the result of lower market rates affecting the rates paid on savings, time deposits and short-term borrowings. The Corporation offers an interest bearing demand checking account product that pays a higher rate of interest to customers who meet certain qualifications, with one of the main qualifications being the frequent use of a debit card. As a result, the rate paid on the interest bearing demand checking account product was 0.21% and 0.20% for the 2013 and 2012 periods, respectively.
Average Balance Sheet and Net Interest Margin
(1)Calculated on a fully taxable equivalent basis
The following table presents the changes in the Corporation’s interest income and interest expense resulting from changes in interest rates and changes in the volume of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Changes attributable to both rate and volume that cannot be segregated have been allocated in proportion to the changes due to rate and volume.
INTEREST RATES AND INTEREST DIFFERENTIAL
(1)Nontaxable income is adjusted to a fully tax equivalent basis utilizing a 34% tax rate.
(2)Non-accrual loan balances are included for purposes of computing the rate and volume effects although interest on these balances has been excluded.
Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses represents the charge to income necessary to adjust the allowance for loan losses to an amount that represents management’s assessment of the estimated probable credit losses in the Corporation’s loan portfolio that have been incurred at each balance sheet date. The provision for loan losses was $337 in fiscal year 2013 compared to $315 in fiscal year 2012. For 2013, net charge-offs were $176, or 0.08% of total loans compared with $81, or 0.04% of total loans, for the same period last year. The provision for loan losses increased compared to the prior year primarily as a result of an increase in net charge-offs, an increase in the reserve allocated to substandard loans and as a result of the overall increase in loans from June 30, 2012.
For 2013, the provision for the commercial real estate portfolio was $212 primarily as a result of an increase in the level of substandard loans combined with an overall increase in these types of loans from June 30, 2012. The provision for the 1-4 family residential real estate loan portfolio was a negative $35 for 2013 primarily as a result of a reduction in 1-4 family residential loans classified as special mention. The provision for the consumer loan portfolio was $107 for 2013 primarily as a result of $54 in net charge-offs combined with the increase in the consumer loan portfolio from June 30, 2012.
Non-performing loans were $1,099 as of June 30, 2013 and represented 0.51% of total loans. This compared with $1,932, or 0.98% of total loans, at June 30, 2012. The allowance for loan losses to total non-performing loans at June 30, 2013 was 227.12% compared with 120.86% at June 30, 2012. Non-performing loans have been considered in management’s analysis of the appropriateness of the allowance for loan losses. Management and the Board of Directors closely monitor these loans and believe the prospect for recovery of principal, less identified specific reserves, are favorable.
Other Income. Total other income was $2,802 for fiscal year 2013, compared to $2,604 for the same period last year. Adjusted for security gains and net losses from the sale of other real estate owned (OREO), other income totaled $2,645 for the 2013 fiscal year, compared with $2,513 for the same period last year.
Service charges on deposit accounts decreased by $58, or 4.2%, in 2013 to $1,328 from $1,386 in the previous fiscal year mainly due to a decrease in overdraft fee income that was partially offset by an increase in checking account service charges primarily as a result of updated account products.
Debit card interchange income increased by $53, or 7.1% in 2013 to $796 from $743 in the previous fiscal year primarily due to higher volume as a result of increased customer usage. The Corporation anticipates some longer term market-related impact on its debit card interchange income as a result of the Dodd-Frank Act amendments to the Electronic Fund Transfer Act even though the Bank is not directly subject to these new regulations.
Bank owned life insurance income decreased by $10, or 5.2%, in 2013 to $184 from $194 for the same period last year as a result of the yield being impacted by lower market rates.
Gains on the sale of mortgage loans totaled $121 in 2013 as a result of the expansion of the mortgage services department in the fourth quarter of the 2012 fiscal year.
Other income increased by $26, or 13.7%, in 2013 mainly as a result of an increase in investment advisory and brokerage income.
Other Expenses. Total other expenses were $11,101 for the year ended June 30, 2013; an increase of $756, or 7.3% from $10,345 for the year ended June 30, 2012.
Salaries and employee benefit expenses increased $582, or 10.6%, during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 mainly due to staff additions in the lending area and a full year of expenses associated with the Jackson-Belden office that opened July 31, 2012. Salaries and employee benefits increased also as a result of higher expenses associated with employee insurance and normal merit increases that went into effect on July 1, 2012. These increases were partially offset by lower expenses associated with annual performance based incentives.
Occupancy and equipment expenses increased by $208, or 19.6%, mainly due to an increase in building depreciation expense associated with the Minerva, Ohio branch office and corporate headquarters and the Jackson-Belden branch location. The remaining book value of the Minerva facility is being expensed over the remaining useful life as a new facility is planned to replace the current facility in 2015. Also, occupancy and equipment expenses increased as a result of the new Jackson-Belden office that opened on July 31, 2012.
The amortization of the intangible is directly related to the core deposit purchase premium of the Lisbon, Ohio branch that was purchased in January 2000. The core deposit premium was fully amortized in January 2012.
Telephone and network communications expenses increased by $40, or 16.7%, during the 2013 fiscal year mainly as a result of one-time costs associated with the switch to a fiber optic communications network.
Other expenses totaled $1,361 for the year ended June 30, 2013, an increase of $110, or 8.8%, from $1,251 for the year ended June 30, 2012. The increase was mainly a result of higher internet banking expenses due to an increased number of personal and business customers using the internet banking product and higher education and development expenses from the introduction of a management development program.
Income Tax Expense. The provision for income taxes totaled $634 and $799 for the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The effective tax rates were 19.2% and 22.4%, respectively. The effective tax rate differed from the federal statutory rate principally as a result of tax-exempt income from obligations of states and political subdivisions, loans and earnings on bank owned life insurance.
Financial Condition
Total assets at June 30, 2013 were $343,489 compared to $334,761 at June 30, 2012, an increase of $8,728, or 2.6%. The increase in total assets is mainly attributed to an increase in loans of $19,610, or 9.9%. This increase was primarily funded by an increase of $9,626, or 3.4%, in total deposits and a decline in cash and cash equivalents of $4,389.
Securities. Total securities decreased by $5,106 from $105,335 at June 30, 2012 to $100,229 at June 30, 2013. As of June 30, 2013, there were $97,229 securities classified as available-for-sale and there was a $3,000 security classified as held-to-maturity which was a local municipal bond. The securities portfolio is mainly comprised of residential mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations issued by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae, state and political subdivisions and obligations of government-sponsored enterprises.
The following table summarizes the amortized cost and fair value of securities available-for-sale and securities held-to-maturity at June 30, 2013 and 2012 and the corresponding amounts of gross unrealized gains and losses recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and gross unrecognized gains and losses:
The following tables summarize the amounts and distribution of the Corporation’s securities held and the weighted average yields as of June 30, 2013:
The weighted average interest rates are based on coupon rates for securities purchased at par value and on effective interest rates considering amortization or accretion if the securities were purchased at a premium or discount. The weighted average yield on tax-exempt obligations has been calculated on a tax equivalent basis. Average yields are based on amortized cost balances. The yield on the trust preferred security is zero since the cash interest payments for this security are being deferred.
At June 30, 2013, there were no holdings of securities of any one issuer, other than the U.S. government and its agencies and corporations, with an aggregate book value which exceeds 10% of shareholders’ equity.
Loans. Loan receivables increased by $19,610 to $217,040 at June 30, 2013 compared to $197,430 at June 30, 2012. Loan demand increased, particularly in the commercial and commercial real estate segments, principally as a result of increased calling efforts within and around the surrounding markets of the Bank’s new branch locations. Consumer loans increased primarily as a result of the introduction of a more competitive product and added efficiencies to improve the approval process.
Major classifications of loans, net of deferred loan fees and costs, were as follows as of June 30:
The following is a schedule of contractual maturities and repayments of 1-4 family residential real estate construction, commercial and commercial real estate loans, as of June 30, 2013:
The following is a schedule of fixed and variable rate 1-4 family residential real estate construction, commercial and commercial real estate loans due after one year (variable rate loans are those loans with floating or adjustable interest rates) as of June 30, 2013:
Foreign Outstandings-there were no foreign outstandings during the periods presented. There are no concentrations of loans greater than 10% of total loans, which are not otherwise disclosed as a category of loans.
Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses balance and the provision charged to expense are judgmentally determined by management based upon a periodic review of the loan portfolio, an analysis of impaired loans, past loan loss experience, current economic conditions, collateral value assumptions for collateral-dependent loans and various other circumstances which are subject to change over time. Probable losses are estimated by stratifying the total loan portfolio into pools of homogenous loans by ownership, collateral type and loan purpose and applying the Bank’s three year historical loss ratio, increased for more recent trends in loss experience, to each loan pool. Also, the local unemployment rate is monitored and additional reserves are applied to all loans that are not assigned a specific reserve if there is an increase in the local unemployment rate. Specific reserves are determined by management’s review of delinquent loans, impaired loans, non-accrual loans, loans classified as substandard, watch list loans, loans to industries experiencing economic difficulties and other selected large loans. The collectability of these loans is evaluated after considering the current financial position of the borrower, the estimated market value of the collateral, guarantees and the Corporation’s collateral position versus other creditors. Judgments, which are necessarily subjective, as to the probability of loss and the amount of such loss, are formed on these loans, as well as other loans in the aggregate.
Failure to receive principal and interest payments when due on any loan results in efforts to restore such loan to a current status. Loans are classified as non-accrual when, in the opinion of management, full collection of principal and accrued interest is not expected. The loans must be brought and kept current for six sustained payments before being considered for removal from non-accrual status. Commercial and commercial real estate loans are classified as impaired if management determines that full collection of principal and interest, in accordance with the terms of the loan documents, is not probable. If a loan is impaired, a portion of the allowance is allocated so the loan is reported, net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s existing rate or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected from the collateral. Loans are evaluated for impairment when payments are delayed, typically 90 days or more, or when it is probable that not all principal and interest amounts will be collected according to the original terms of the loan. As of June 30, 2013, impaired loans totaled $2,306, of which $1,032 are included in non-accrual loans. Continued unsuccessful collection efforts generally lead to initiation of foreclosure or other legal proceedings.
The following schedule summarizes non-accrual, past due, impaired and restructured loans for the years ended June 30:
The non-performing loans are either in the process of foreclosure or efforts are being made to work with the borrower to bring the loan current. Properties acquired by the Corporation as a result of foreclosure, or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, are classified as “other real estate owned” until such time as they are sold or otherwise disposed. As of June 30, 2013 and 2012, there were no properties classified as other real estate owned.
Potential Problem Loans. There were no loans, not otherwise identified above, included on management’s watch or troubled loan lists that management has serious doubts as to the ability of such borrowers to comply with the loan repayment terms. Management’s watch and troubled loan lists includes loans which management has some doubt as to the borrowers’ ability to comply with the present repayment terms, loans which management is actively monitoring due to changes in the borrowers financial condition and other loans which management wants to more closely monitor due to special circumstances. These loans and their potential loss exposure have been considered in management’s analysis of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses.
The following table summarizes the Corporation’s loan loss experience, and provides a breakdown of the charge-off, recovery and other activity for the years ended June 30:
The following schedule is a breakdown of the allowance for loan losses allocated by type of loan and related ratios:
While management’s periodic analysis of the adequacy of the allowance for loan loss may allocate portions of the allowance for specific problem loan situations, the entire allowance is available for any loan charge-off that may occur.
Funding Sources. Total deposits increased $9,626, or 3.4%, from $284,481 at June 30, 2012 to $294,107 at June 30, 2013. Savings deposits increased $7,180, or 7.2%, non-interest bearing demand checking balances increased $5,233, or 7.9%, and interest bearing demand deposits increased $2,474, or 7.1%, from June 30, 2012 to June 30, 2013. Time deposits decreased by $5,261, or 6.2%, as customers choose to deposit funds into more liquid deposit products during the current low interest rate environment. The increase in deposits reflects the results of the Corporation’s increased calling efforts and the economic benefit from the oil and gas activity in the Bank’s primary market areas.
The following is a schedule of average deposit amounts and average rates paid on each category for the periods included:
The following table summarizes time deposits issued in amounts of $100 or more as of June 30, 2013 by time remaining until maturity:
See Note 6-Short-Term Borrowings to the Consolidated Financial Statements, for information concerning short-term borrowings.
Capital Resources
Total shareholders’ equity increased by $253 from $27,890 at June 30, 2012 to $28,143 at June 30, 2013. The increase was primarily due to net income of $2,669 for the current fiscal year and cash of $188 received from the dividend reinvestment and stock purchase program. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $1,620 in the unrealized gain on the mark-to-market of available-for-sale securities and cash dividends paid of $993.
In July 2013, the Corporation completed its rights offering with the sale of 655,668 shares of common stock for gross proceeds of approximately $10.0 million. Under the rights offering, the Corporation distributed to its shareholders of record as of March 26, 2013, proportional rights to purchase additional shares and the opportunity to purchase shares in excess of their basic subscription rights. The Corporation also offered any shares not subscribed for in the rights offering through a subsequent public offering. The Corporation intends to use the net proceeds to enhance the Bank’s overall capital position, general corporate purposes and future organic and other growth opportunities.
At June 30, 2013, management believes the Bank complied with all regulatory capital requirements. Based on the Bank’s computed regulatory capital ratios, the OCC has determined the Bank to be well capitalized under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act as of its latest exam date. The Bank’s actual and required capital amounts are disclosed in Note 10 of the Consolidated Financial Statements. Management is not aware of any matters occurring subsequent to that exam that would cause the Bank’s capital category to change.
Liquidity
Management considers the asset position of the Bank to be sufficiently liquid to meet normal operating needs and conditions. The Bank’s earning assets are divided primarily between loans and available-for-sale securities, with any excess funds placed in federal funds sold or interest-bearing deposit accounts with other financial institutions on a daily basis.
Net cash inflow from operating activities for the 2013 fiscal year were $5,546 and net cash inflows from financing activities were $7,509. Net cash outflows from investing activities were $17,444. The major sources of cash were $9,626 net increase in deposits, $29,177 net increase from sales, maturities or principal pay downs on available-for-sale securities. The major uses of cash were the $27,791 purchase of securities and a $19,786 net increase in loans. Total cash and cash equivalents were $9,356 as of June 30, 2013 compared to $13,745 at June 30, 2012.
The Bank groups its loan portfolio into four major categories: commercial loans; commercial real estate loans; 1-4 family residential real estate loans; and consumer loans. The Bank’s 1-4 family residential real estate loan portfolio consists of three basic segments: mortgage loans having fixed rates for terms not longer than fifteen years, variable rate home equity line of credit loans and fixed rate loans having maturity or renewal dates that are less than the scheduled amortization period. Commercial and commercial real estate loans are comprised of both variable rate notes subject to interest rate changes based on the prime rate or T-bill and fixed rate notes having maturities of generally not greater than five years. Consumer loans offered by the Bank are generally written for periods of up to seven years, based on the nature of the collateral. These may be either installment loans having regular monthly payments or demand type loans for short periods of time.
Funds not allocated to the Bank’s loan portfolio are invested in various securities having diverse maturity schedules. The majority of the Bank’s securities are held in obligations of U.S. Government sponsored entities, mortgage-backed securities, and investments in tax free municipal bonds.
The Bank offers several forms of deposit products to its customers. The rates offered by the Bank and the fees charged for them are competitive with others available currently in the market area. While the Bank continues to be under competitive pressures in the Bank’s market area as financial institutions attempt to attract and keep new deposits, we believe many commercial and retail customers have been continuing to turn to community banks. Time deposit interest rates continued to decline in the 2013 fiscal year. Compared to our peers, the Corporation’s core deposits consist of a large percentage of non-interest bearing demand deposits resulting in the cost of funds remaining at a low level of 0.49%.
Jumbo time deposits (those with balances of $100 and over) were $33,693 and $34,422 at June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. These deposits are monitored closely by the Bank and typically priced on an individual basis. When these deposits are from a municipality, certain bank-owned securities are pledged to guarantee the safety of these public fund deposits as required by Ohio law. The Corporation has the option to use a fee paid broker to obtain deposits from outside its normal service area as an additional source of funding. However, these deposits are not relied upon as a primary source of funding and the Bank can foresee no dependence on these types of deposits in the near term.
Dividends from the Bank are the primary source of funds for payment of dividends to our shareholders. However, there are statutory limits on the amount of dividends the Bank can pay without regulatory approval. Under these regulations, the amount of dividends that may be paid in any calendar year is limited to the current year’s net profits, combined with the retained net profits of the preceding two years, subject to the capital requirements described above. Additionally, the Bank may not declare or pay any dividend if, after making the dividend, the Bank would be “undercapitalized,” as defined in the federal regulations. As of June 30, 2013 the Bank could, without prior approval, declare a dividend of approximately $4,494.
Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices
The financial statements and related data presented herein have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which require the measurement of financial position and results of operations primarily in terms of historical dollars without considering changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all of the assets and liabilities of the Corporation are monetary in nature. Therefore, interest rates have a more significant impact on a financial institution’s performance than the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or in the same magnitude as the prices of goods and services. The liquidity, maturity structure and quality of the Corporation’s assets and liabilities are critical to the maintenance of acceptable performance levels.
Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Significant Estimates
The financial condition and results of operations for the Corporation presented in the Consolidated Financial Statements, accompanying notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements and management’s discussion and analysis are, to a large degree, dependent upon the Corporation’s accounting policies. The selection and application of these accounting policies involve judgments, estimates and uncertainties that are susceptible to change.
Presented below is a discussion of the accounting policy that management believes is the most important to the portrayal and understanding of the Corporation’s financial condition and results of operations. This policy requires management’s most difficult, subjective and complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain. In the event that different assumptions or conditions were to prevail, and depending upon the severity of such changes, the possibility of materially different financial condition or results of operations is a reasonable likelihood. Also, see Note 1 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information related to significant accounting policies.
Allowance for Loan Losses. Management periodically reviews the loan portfolio in order to establish an estimated allowance for loan losses (allowance) that are probable as of the respective reporting date. Additions to the allowance are charged against earnings for the period as a provision for loan losses. Actual loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes that the collection of principal will not occur. Unpaid interest for loans that are placed on non-accrual status is reversed against current interest income.
The allowance is regularly reviewed by management to determine whether or not the amount is considered adequate to absorb probable incurred losses. If not, an additional provision is made to increase the allowance. This evaluation includes specific loss estimates on certain individually reviewed loans, loss estimates for loan groups or pools that are based on historical loss experience and general loss estimates that are based upon the size, quality, and concentration characteristics of the various loan portfolios, adverse situations that may affect a borrower’s ability to repay, and current economic and industry conditions, among other things. The allowance is also subject to periodic examination by regulators whose review includes a determination as to its adequacy to absorb probable incurred losses.
Those judgments and assumptions that are most critical to the application of this accounting policy are the initial and on-going credit-worthiness of the borrower, the amount and timing of future cash flows of the borrower that are available for repayment of the loan, the sufficiency of underlying collateral, the enforceability of third-party guarantees, the frequency and subjectivity of loan reviews and risk grading, emerging or changing trends that might not be fully captured in the historical loss experience, and charges against the allowance for actual losses that are greater than previously estimated. These judgments and assumptions are dependent upon or can be influenced by a variety of factors including the breadth and depth of experience of lending officers, credit administration and the loan review staff that periodically review the status of the loan, changing economic and industry conditions, changes in the financial condition of the borrower, and changes in the value and availability of the underlying collateral and guarantees.
While the Corporation strives to reflect all known risk factors in its evaluations, judgment errors may occur. If different assumptions or conditions were to prevail, the amount and timing of interest income and loan losses could be materially different. These factors are most pronounced during economic downturns. Since, as described above, so many factors can affect the amount and timing of losses on loans it is difficult to predict, with any degree of certainty, the affect on income if different conditions or assumptions were to prevail.
Valuation of Securities and Other-Than-Temporary Impairment (OTTI). The fair value of available-for-sale securities is estimated using relevant market information and other assumptions. Fair value measurements are classified within one of three levels in a valuation hierarchy based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. Fair value estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment regarding interest rates, credit risk, discounted cash flows, prepayments, and other factors, especially in the absence of broad markets for particular items. Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect the estimates.
Securities are reviewed at least quarterly for indicators of other-than-temporary impairment. This determination requires significant judgment. In estimating other-than-temporary impairment, management evaluates: the length of time and extent the fair value has been less than cost, the expected cash flows of the security, the financial condition and near term prospects of the issuer, and whether the Corporation has the intent to sell the security or the likelihood the Corporation will be required to sell the security at an unrealized loss position prior to any anticipated recovery in fair value, which may be maturity. A decline in value that is considered to be credit-related other-than-temporary is recorded as a loss within other income in the consolidated statements of income.
Contractual Obligations, Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
The following table presents, as of June 30, 2013, the Corporation’s significant fixed and determinable contractual obligations by payment date. The payment amounts represent those amounts contractually due to the recipient and do not include any unamortized premiums or discounts. Further discussion of the nature of each obligation is included in the referenced note to the consolidated financial statements.
Note 11- Commitments with Off-balance Sheet Risk to the Consolidated Financial Statements discusses in greater detail other commitments and contingencies and the various obligations that exist under those agreements. These commitments and contingencies consist primarily of commitments to extend credit to borrowers under lines of credit.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
At June 30, 2013, the Corporation had no unconsolidated, related special purpose entities, nor did the Corporation engage in derivatives and hedging contracts, such as interest rate swaps, which may expose the Corporation to liabilities greater than the amounts recorded on the consolidated balance sheet. The Corporation’s investment policy prohibits engaging in derivative contracts for speculative trading purposes; however, in the future, the Corporation may pursue certain contracts, such as interest rate swaps, in an effort to execute a sound and defensive interest rate risk management policy.
Forward-Looking Statements
All statements set forth in this discussion or future filings by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or other public or shareholder communications, or in oral statements made with the approval of an authorized executive officer, that are not historical in nature, including words or phrases such as “will likely result,” “are expected to,” “will continue,” “is anticipated,” “estimate,” “project,” “believe” or similar expressions are intended to identify “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements may involve risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict, may be beyond our control, and could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in such statements. Any such forward-looking statements are made only as of the date of this report or the respective dates of the relevant incorporated documents, as the case may be, and, except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update these forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances. Factors that could cause actual results for future periods to differ materially from those anticipated or projected include, but are not limited to:
·regional and national economic conditions becoming less favorable than expected, resulting in, among other things, a deterioration in credit quality of assets and the underlying value of collateral could prove to be less valuable than otherwise assumed;
·the economic impact from the oil and gas activity in the region could be less than expected or the timeline for development could be longer than anticipated;
·an extended period in which market levels of interest rates remain at historical low levels, which could reduce, or put pressure on our ability to maintain, anticipated or actual margins;
·the nature, extent, and timing of government and regulatory actions;
·material unforeseen changes in the financial condition or results of the Bank’s customers;
·competitive pressures on product pricing and services; and
·a continued deterioration in market conditions causing debtors to be unable to meet their obligations.
The risks and uncertainties identified above are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe to be immaterial also may adversely affect us. Should any known or unknown risks and uncertainties develop into actual events, those developments could have material adverse effects on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

REPORT OF MANAGEMENT ON THE CORPORATION`S INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
The management of Consumers Bancorp, Inc. is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(1) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:
·Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;
·Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and
·Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2013. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") in 1992 Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on that assessment, we have concluded that, as of June 30, 2013, our internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Corporation’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Corporation’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Corporation to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of Directors and Shareholders
Consumers Bancorp, Inc.
Minerva, Ohio
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Consumers Bancorp, Inc. as of June 30, 2013 and 2012 and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these 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 consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Corporation is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. 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 consolidated 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 Consumers Bancorp, Inc. as of June 30, 2013 and 2012 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTE 1-SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Unless otherwise indicated, dollar amounts are in thousands, except per share data.
Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Consumers Bancorp, Inc. (Corporation) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Consumers National Bank (Bank), together referred to as the Corporation. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation.
Nature of Operations: Consumers Bancorp, Inc. is a bank holding company headquartered in Minerva, Ohio that provides, through its banking subsidiary, a broad array of products and services throughout its primary market area of Stark, Columbiana, Carroll and contiguous counties in Ohio. The Bank’s business involves attracting deposits from businesses and individual customers and using such deposits to originate commercial, mortgage and consumer loans in its primary market area.
Business Segment Information: Consumers Bancorp, Inc. is a bank holding company engaged in the business of commercial and retail banking, which accounts for substantially all of its revenues, operating income, and assets. Accordingly, all of its operations are reported in one segment, banking.
Use of Estimates: To prepare financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, management makes estimates and assumptions based on available information. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the disclosures provided, and actual results could differ. The allowance for loan losses, fair values of financial instruments, and determination of other-than-temporary impairment of securities are particularly subject to change.
Cash Flows: Cash and cash equivalents include cash, deposits with other financial institutions with original maturities of less than 90 days and federal funds sold. Net cash flows are reported for customer loan and deposit transactions, interest bearing deposits in other financial institutions and short-term borrowings.
Interest-Bearing Deposits in Other Financial Institutions: Interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions mature within one year and are carried at cost.
Cash Reserves: The Bank is required to maintain cash on hand and non-interest bearing balances on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank to meet regulatory reserve and clearing requirements. The required reserve balance at June 30, 2013 and 2012 was $4,291 and $3,991, respectively.
Securities: Securities are generally classified into either held-to-maturity or available-for-sale categories. Held-to-maturity securities are carried at amortized cost and are those that the Corporation has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity. Available-for-sale securities are those that the Corporation may decide to sell before maturity if needed for liquidity, asset-liability management, or other reasons. Available-for-sale securities are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains or losses included in other comprehensive income (loss) as a separate component of equity, net of tax.
Interest income includes amortization of purchase premiums and accretion of discounts. Premiums and discounts on securities are amortized on the level-yield method without anticipating prepayments, except for mortgage-backed securities where prepayments are anticipated. Gains and losses on sales are recorded on the trade date and determined using the specific identification method.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) at least on a quarterly basis and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such an evaluation. For securities in an unrealized loss position, management considers the extent and duration of the unrealized loss, and the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer. Management also assesses whether it intends to sell, or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell, a security in an unrealized loss position before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the entire difference between amortized cost and fair value is recognized as impairment through earnings. For debt securities that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, the amount of impairment is split into two components as follows: 1) OTTI related to credit loss, which must be recognized in the income statement and 2) OTTI related to other factors, which is recognized in other comprehensive income. The credit loss is defined as the difference between the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected and the amortized cost basis. For equity securities, the entire amount of impairment is recognized through earnings.
Federal Bank and Other Restricted Stocks: The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) system. Members are required to own a certain amount of stock based on the level of borrowings and other factors, and may invest in additional amounts. FHLB stock, included with Federal bank and other restricted stocks on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, is carried at cost, classified as a restricted security and periodically evaluated for impairment based on ultimate recovery of par value. Federal Reserve Bank stock is also carried at cost. Since these stocks are viewed as a long-term investment, impairment is based on ultimate recovery of par value. Both cash and stock dividends are reported as income.
Loans Held for Sale: Mortgage loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or fair value, as determined by outstanding commitments from investors. Mortgage loans held for sale are generally sold with servicing rights released. Net unrealized losses, if any, are recorded as a valuation allowance and charged to earnings. Gains and losses on sales of mortgage loans are based on the difference between the selling price and the carrying value of the related loan sold.
Loans: Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at the principal balance outstanding, net of deferred loan fees and costs, and an allowance for loan losses. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized in interest income using the level-yield method without anticipating prepayments. The recorded investment in loans includes accrued interest receivable.
Interest income on commercial, commercial real estate and 1-4 family residential loans is discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days delinquent unless the loan is well-secured and in the process of collection. Consumer loans are typically charged off no later than 120 days past due. Past due status is determined by the contractual terms of the loan. In all cases, loans are placed on non-accrual or charged-off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful.
All interest accrued but not received on loans placed on non-accrual is reversed against interest income. Interest received on such loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Loans are returned to accrual status when the customer has exhibited the ability to repay and demonstrated this ability over at least a consecutive six month period and future payments are reasonably assured.
Loan Commitments and Related Financial Instruments: Financial instruments include off-balance sheet credit instruments, such as commitments to make loans and commercial letters of credit, issued to meet customer financing needs. The face amount for these items represents the exposure to loss, before considering customer collateral or ability to repay. Such financial instruments are recorded when funded.
Concentrations of Credit Risk: The Bank grants consumer, real estate and commercial loans primarily to borrowers in Stark, Columbiana and Carroll counties. Therefore, the Corporation’s exposure to credit risk is significantly affected by changes in the economy in this tri-county area. Automobiles and other consumer assets, business assets and residential and commercial real estate secure most loans.
Allowance for Loan Losses: The allowance for loan losses is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectability of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. Management estimates the allowance balance required based on past loan loss experience, the nature and volume of the portfolio, information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values, economic conditions and other factors. Allocations of the allowance may be made for specific loans, but the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in management’s judgment, should be charged-off.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are individually classified as impaired. The general component covers non-classified loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for current factors.
A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Corporation will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Loans, for which the terms have been modified resulting in a concession, and for which the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, are considered trouble debt restructurings and classified as impaired. Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays and payment shortfalls generally are not classified as impaired. Management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration all of the circumstances surrounding the loan and the borrower, including the length of the delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed.
Impairment is evaluated in total for smaller-balance loans of similar nature such as residential mortgage, consumer loans and on an individual loan basis for other loans. If a loan is impaired, a portion of the allowance is allocated so the loan is reported, net, at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s existing rate or at the fair value of collateral if repayment is expected from the collateral. Loans are evaluated for impairment when payments are delayed, typically 90 days or more, or when it is probable that not all principal and interest amounts will be collected according to the original terms of the loan. Troubled debt restructurings are separately identified for impairment disclosures and are measured at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s effective interest rate at inception. If a troubled debt restructuring is considered to be a collateral dependent loan, the loan is reported, net, at the fair value of the collateral. For troubled debt restructurings that subsequently default, the Corporation determines the amount of reserve in accordance with the accounting policy for the allowance for loan losses.
The general component covers non-impaired loans and is based on historical loss experience adjusted for current factors. The historical loss experience is determined by portfolio segment and is based on the actual loss history experienced by the Corporation over the most recent three year period. This actual loss experience is supplemented with other economic factors based on the risks present for each portfolio segment. These economic factors include consideration of the following: levels of and trends in volume and terms of loans; effects of any changes in risk selection and underwriting standards; other changes in lending policies, procedures and practices; experience, ability and depth of lending management and other relevant staff; national and local economic trends and conditions; industry conditions; and effects of changes in credit concentrations. The following portfolio segments have been identified:
Commercial Loans: Commercial loans are made for a wide variety of general business purposes, including financing for equipment, inventories and accounts receivable. The term of each commercial loan varies by its purpose. Commercial loans are underwritten after evaluating and understanding the borrower’s ability to operate profitably and prudently expand its business. Current and projected cash flows are evaluated to determine the ability of the borrower to repay their obligations as agreed. Commercial loans are primarily made based on the identified cash flows of the borrower and secondarily on the underlying collateral provided by the borrower. The cash flows of borrowers, however, may not be as expected and the collateral securing these loans may fluctuate in value. Most commercial loans are secured by the assets being financed or other business assets such as accounts receivable or inventory and usually incorporate a personal guarantee; however, some short-term loans may be made on an unsecured basis. In the case of loans secured by accounts receivable, the availability of funds for the repayment of these loans may be substantially dependent on the ability of the borrower to collect amounts due from its customers. The commercial loan portfolio includes loans to a wide variety of corporations and businesses across many industrial classifications in the areas where the Bank operates.
Commercial Real Estate: Commercial real estate loans include mortgage loans to farmers, multi-family investment properties, developers and owners of commercial real estate. Commercial real estate lending typically involves higher loan principal amounts and the repayment of these loans is generally largely dependent on the successful operation of the property securing the loan or the business conducted on the property securing the loan. Commercial real estate loans may be more adversely affected by conditions in the real estate markets or in the general economy. The properties securing the Corporation’s commercial real estate portfolio are diverse in terms of type and geographic location. This diversity helps reduce the Corporation’s exposure to adverse economic events that affect any single market or industry. Management monitors and evaluates commercial real estate loans based on collateral, geography and risk grade criteria. In addition, management tracks the level of owner-occupied commercial real estate loans versus non-owner occupied loans.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Residential real estate: Residential real estate loans are secured by one to four family residential properties and include both owner occupied, non-owner occupied and home equity loans. Credit approval for residential real estate loans requires demonstration of sufficient income to repay the principal and interest and the real estate taxes and insurance, stability of employment, an established credit record and an appropriately appraised value of the real estate securing the loan that generally requires that the residential real estate loan amount be no more than 80% of the purchase price or the appraised value of the real estate securing the loan. Underwriting standards for home equity loans are heavily influenced by statutory requirements, which include, but are not limited to, a maximum loan-to-value percentage of 80%, collection remedies, the number of such loans a borrower can have at one time and documentation requirements.
Consumer Loans: The Corporation originates direct and indirect consumer loans, primarily automobile loans, personal lines of credit, and unsecured consumer loans in its primary market areas. Credit approval for consumer loans requires income sufficient to repay principal and interest due, stability of employment, an established credit record and sufficient collateral for secured loans. Consumer loans typically have shorter terms and lower balances with higher yields as compared to real estate mortgage loans, but generally carry higher risks of default. Consumer loan collections are dependent on the borrower’s continuing financial stability, and thus are more likely to be affected by adverse personal circumstances.
Other Real Estate Owned: Real estate properties acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell at the date of acquisition, establishing a new cost basis. Any reduction to fair value from the carrying value of the related loan at the time of acquisition is accounted for as a loan loss. These assets are subsequently accounted for at lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell. If the fair value declines after acquisition, a valuation allowance is recorded as a charge to income. Operating costs after acquisition are expensed. Gains and losses on disposition are reported as a charge to income.
Premises and Equipment: Land is carried at cost. Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed primarily using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the owned asset and, for leasehold improvements, generally over the lesser of the remaining term of the lease facility or the estimated economic life of the improvement. Useful lives range from three years for software to thirty-nine and one-half years for buildings.
Cash Surrender Value of Life Insurance: The Bank has purchased single-premium life insurance policies to insure the lives of current and former participants in the salary continuation plan. As of June 30, 2013, the Bank had policies with total death benefits of $12,103 and total cash surrender values of $5,789. As of June 30, 2012, the Bank had policies with total death benefits of $12,044 and total cash surrender values of $5,605. Bank owned life insurance is recorded at the amount that can be realized under the insurance contract at the balance sheet date, which is the cash surrender value adjusted for other changes or other amounts due that are probable at settlement. Tax-exempt income is recognized from the periodic increases in cash surrender value of these policies.
Long-term Assets: Premises, equipment and other long-term assets are reviewed for impairment when events indicate their carrying amount may not be recoverable from future undiscounted cash flows. If impaired, the assets are recorded at fair value.
Repurchase Agreements: Substantially all repurchase agreement liabilities, which are classified as short-term borrowings, represent amounts advanced by various customers. Securities are pledged to cover these liabilities, which are not covered by federal deposit insurance.
Retirement Plan: The Bank maintains a 401(k) savings and retirement plan covering all eligible employees. Matching contributions are made and expensed annually.
Income Taxes: The Corporation files a consolidated federal income tax return. Income tax expense is the sum of the current-year income tax due or refundable and the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and tax basis of assets and liabilities, computed using enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The Corporation applies a more likely than not recognition threshold for all tax uncertainties in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is more likely than not the position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. The Corporation recognizes interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense.
Earnings per Common Share: Basic earnings per common share is net income divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share includes the dilutive effect of additional potential common shares issuable upon the vesting of restricted stock awards.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Stock-Based Compensation: Compensation cost is recognized for restricted stock awards issued to employees over the required service period, generally defined as the vesting period. The fair value of restricted stock awards is estimated by using the market price of the Corporation’s common stock at the date of grant. For awards with graded vesting, compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award.
Comprehensive Income (Loss): Comprehensive income (loss) consists of net income and other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) includes unrealized gains and losses on securities available-for-sale, which are also recognized as a separate component of equity, net of tax.
Loss Contingencies: Loss contingencies, including claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, are recorded as liabilities when the likelihood of loss is probable and an amount or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. Management does not believe there are such matters that will have a material effect on the financial statements.
	Fair Value of Financial Instruments: Fair values of financial instruments are estimated using relevant market information and other assumptions, as more fully disclosed in a separate note. Fair value estimates involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment regarding interest rates, credit risk, discounted cash flows, prepayments, and other factors, especially in the absence of broad markets for particular items. Changes in assumptions or in market conditions could significantly affect the estimates.
Dividend Restrictions: Banking regulations require maintaining certain capital levels and may limit the dividends paid by the Bank to the holding company or by the holding company to shareholders. As of June 30, 2013 the Bank could, without prior approval, declare a dividend of approximately $4,494.
Reclassifications: Certain reclassifications have been made to the June 30, 2012 financial statements to be comparable to the June 30, 2013 presentation. The reclassifications had no impact on prior year net income or shareholders’ equity.
Adoption of New Accounting Standards: In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2013-02, Comprehensive Income: Reporting of Amounts Classified out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, with the primary objective of improving the reporting of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income. This ASU requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, 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. The amendments are effective prospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2012. The Corporation early adopted the ASU as of March 31, 2013. The amendments did not have a material impact on Corporation’s Consolidated Financial Statements. See Note 15 for the additional disclosure.

NOTE 2-SECURITIES
The following table summarizes the amortized cost and fair value of securities available-for-sale and securities held-to-maturity at June 30, 2013 and 2012 and the corresponding amounts of gross unrealized gains and losses recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and gross unrecognized gains and losses:
Proceeds from sales of debt securities during 2013 and 2012 were as follows:
The amortized cost and fair values of debt securities at June 30, 2013 by contractual maturity are shown below. Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. Securities not due at a single maturity date, primarily mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations and the trust preferred security are shown separately.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Securities with a carrying value of approximately $27,781 and $35,411 were pledged at June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, to secure public deposits and commitments as required or permitted by law. At June 30, 2013 and 2012, there were no holdings of securities of any one issuer, other than the U.S. government and its agencies, with an aggregate book value greater than 10% of shareholders’ equity.
The following table summarizes the securities with unrealized and unrecognized losses at June 30, 2013 and 2012, aggregated by investment category and length of time the individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized or unrecognized loss position:
Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such an evaluation. The securities portfolio is evaluated for OTTI by segregating the portfolio into two general segments and applying the appropriate OTTI model. Investment securities are generally evaluated for OTTI under FASB ASC Topic 320, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. However, the trust preferred security is evaluated using the model outlined in FASB ASC Topic 325, Recognition of Interest Income and Impairment on Purchased Beneficial Interests and Beneficial Interests that Continue to be Held by a Transfer in Securitized Financial Assets.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In determining OTTI under the ASC Topic 320 model, management considers many factors, including: (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, (3) whether the market decline was affected by macroeconomic conditions, and (4) whether the entity has the intent to sell the debt security or more likely than not will be required to sell the debt security before its anticipated recovery. The assessment of whether an other-than-temporary decline exists involves a high degree of subjectivity and judgment and is based on the information available to management at a point in time.
Under the ASC Topic 325 model, the present value of the remaining cash flows as estimated at the preceding evaluation date are compared to the current expected remaining cash flows. An OTTI is deemed to have occurred if there has been an adverse change in the remaining expected future cash flows. The analysis of the trust preferred security falls within the scope of ASC Topic 325.
As of June 30, 2013, the Corporation’s securities portfolio consisted of $97,229 available-for-sale securities, of which $56,045 were in an unrealized loss position and a $3,000 held-to-maturity security with a $74 unrecognized loss. The majority of the unrealized losses are related to the Corporation’s obligations of states and political subdivisions and residential mortgage-backed securities, as discussed below:
Obligations of States and Political Subdivisions: At June 30, 2013, approximately 95.7% of the obligations of states and political subdivisions classified as available-for-sale were general obligation bonds and 4.3% were revenue bonds. The $3,000 security held-to-maturity is a revenue bond made to a local municipality. The unrealized and unrecognized losses were mainly attributable to the spreads for these types of securities being wider at June 30, 2013 than when these securities were purchased and changes in interest rates. Management monitors the financial data of the individual municipalities to ensure they meet minimum credit standards. Since the Corporation does not intend to sell these securities and it is not likely the Corporation will be required to sell these securities at an unrealized loss position prior to any anticipated recovery in fair value, which may be maturity, management does not believe there is any other-than-temporary impairment related to these securities at June 30, 2013.
Mortgage-Backed Securities and Collateralized Mortgage Obligations: At June 30, 2013, all of the mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations held by the Corporation were issued by U.S. government-sponsored entities and agencies, primarily Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae, institutions which the government has affirmed its commitment to support. Because the decline in fair value is attributable to higher interest rates and higher than projected prepayment speeds increasing the premium amortization, and not credit quality, and because the Corporation does not have the intent to sell nor is it likely that it will be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery, the Corporation does not consider these securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired.
Trust Preferred Security: The Corporation owns a trust preferred security, which represents collateralized debt obligations (CDOs) issued by other banks, bank holding companies and insurance companies. The security is part of a pool of issuers that support a more senior tranche of securities. The cash interest payments for the trust preferred security are being deferred as a result of an increase in principal and/or interest deferrals by the issuers of the underlying securities during the period of 2008 through 2011. The accumulated other-than-temporary impairment loss recognized in earnings in periods prior to 2012 was $780. According to the June 30, 2013 cash flow analysis, the expected cash flows were above the recorded amortized cost of the trust preferred security and the Corporation has received pricing indications that are very near the securities adjusted amortized cost of $202. Therefore, management does not believe there is any additional other-than-temporary impairment related to this security at June 30, 2013.

Troubled Debt Restructurings:
As of June 30, 2013, the recorded investment of loans classified as troubled debt restructurings was $1,946 with $245 of specific reserves allocated to these loans. As of June 30, 2012, the recorded investment of loans classified as troubled debt restructurings was $1,973 with $258 of specific reserves allocated to these loans. As of June 30, 2013 and 2012, the Corporation had not committed to lend any additional amounts to customers with outstanding loans that are classified as troubled debt restructurings.
During the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the terms of certain loans were modified as troubled debt restructurings. The modification of the terms of such loans included one or a combination of the following: a reduction of the stated interest rate of the loan; an extension of the maturity date at a stated rate of interest lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk; a permanent reduction of the recorded investment in the loan; or a temporary reduction in the payment amount to interest only.
During the 2013 fiscal year, modifications completed involving a reduction of the stated interest rate of the loan were for periods ranging from 6 months to 5 years and modifications involving the extension of the maturity date were for a period of 5 years to 10 years. During the 2012 fiscal year, modifications completed involving a reduction of the stated interest rate of the loan were for periods ranging from 12 months to 25 years and modifications involving an extension of the maturity date were for a period of 6.5 years to 25 years.
The following table presents loans by class modified as troubled debt restructurings that occurred during the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012:
The troubled debt restructurings described above increased the allowance for loan losses by $42 and there were no charge offs from troubled debt restructurings during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2013.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The troubled debt restructurings described above increased the allowance for loan losses by $32 and resulted in charge offs of $63 during the period ended June 30, 2012.
There were no loans classified as troubled debt restructurings for which there was a payment default during the 2013 fiscal year. The following table presents loans by class modified as troubled debt restructurings for which there was a payment default within 12 months following the modification during the period ended June 30, 2012:
A loan is considered to be in payment default once it is 90 days contractually past due under the modified terms. The troubled debt restructuring that subsequently defaulted described above did not increase the allowance for loan losses or have any charge-off during the period ended June 30, 2012.
Credit Quality Indicators:
The Corporation categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. The Corporation analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis includes loans with a total outstanding loan relationship greater than $100 and non-homogeneous loans, such as commercial and commercial real estate loans. This analysis is performed on a monthly basis. The Corporation uses the following definitions for risk ratings:
Special Mention. Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management's close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution's credit position at some future date.
Substandard. Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
Doubtful. Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.
Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above described process are considered to be pass rated loans. Loans listed as not rated are either less than $100 or are included in groups of homogeneous loans. These loans are evaluated based on delinquency status, which was discussed previously. As of June 30, 2013, and based on the most recent analysis performed, the recorded investment by risk category of loans by class of loans is as follows:

The Bank has pledged obligations of government-sponsored entities and mortgage-backed securities with a carrying value of $14,948 and $15,320 at June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, as collateral for the repurchase agreements. Total interest expense on short-term borrowings was $22 and $29 for the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 7-FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK ADVANCES
A summary of Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances were as follows:
Each fixed rate advance has a prepayment penalty equal to the present value of 100% of the lost cash flow based upon the difference between the contract rate on the advance and the current rate on the new advance. The $5 million putable advance with the maturity date of December 7, 2017 can be called quarterly until maturity at the option of the FHLB, with the next call option being September 9, 2013. The following table is a summary of the scheduled principal payments for all advances:
During fiscal year 2011, the Corporation prepaid two $500 fixed rate single maturity advances and replaced them with two $500 fixed rate single maturity advances with lower rates. Because the present value of the cash flows of the new debt including the prepayment penalty was not more than 10% different than the old debt, the transaction was considered to be an exchange rather than an extinguishment of debt. As such, prepayment penalties totaling $16 were capitalized and are being amortized over the life of the new debt. Unamortized capitalized prepayment penalties totaled $9 and $11 at June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Pursuant to collateral agreements with the FHLB, advances are secured by all the stock invested in the FHLB and certain qualifying first mortgage loans. The advances were collateralized by $33,950 and $36,907 of first mortgage loans under a blanket lien arrangement at June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Based on this collateral and the Corporation’s holdings of FHLB stock, the Bank was eligible to borrow up to a total of $19,382 in advances at June 30, 2013.
NOTE 8-EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
The Bank maintains a 401(k) savings and retirement plan that permits eligible employees to make before- or after-tax contributions to the plan, subject to the dollar limits from Internal Revenue Service regulations. The Bank matches 100% of the employee’s voluntary contributions to the plan based on the amount of each participant’s contributions up to a maximum of 4% of eligible compensation. All regular full-time and part-time employees who complete six months of service and are at least 21 years of age are eligible to participate. Amounts charged to operations were $136 and $122, for the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
The Bank has adopted a Salary Continuation Plan (the Plan) to encourage Bank executives to remain employees of the Bank. The Plan provides such executives (and, in the event of the executive’s death, surviving beneficiary) with 180 months of salary continuation payments equal to a certain percentage of an executive’s average compensation, as defined within each agreement, for the three full calendar years prior to Normal Retirement Age. For purposes of the Plan, “Normal Retirement Age” means the executive’s 65th birthday. Vesting under the Plan commences at age 50 and is prorated until age 65. If an executive dies during active service, the executive’s beneficiary is entitled to the Normal Retirement Benefit. The executive can become fully vested in the Accrual Balance upon termination of employment following a disability or a change in control of the Bank. For purposes of the Plan, “Accrual Balance” means the liability that should be accrued by the Corporation for the Corporation’s obligation to the executive under the Plan. For purposes of calculating the Accrual Balance, the discount rate in effect at June 30, 2013 was 5.0%. The accrued liability for the salary continuation plan was $1,566 as of June 30, 2013 and $1,351 as of June 30, 2012. For the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, $237 and $210, respectively, have been charged to expense in connection with the Plan. Distributions to participants were $22 for both of the years ending June 30, 2013 and 2012.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The 2010 Omnibus Incentive Plan (2010 Plan) is a nonqualified share based compensation plan. The 2010 Plan was established to promote alignment between key employee’s performance and the Corporation’s shareholder interests by motivating performance through the award of stock-based compensation. The 2010 Plan is intended to attract, retain and motivate key employees and as a means to compensate outside directors for their service to the Corporation. The 2010 Plan has been approved by the Corporation’s shareholders. The Compensation Committee of the Corporation’s Board of Directors has sole authority to select the employees, establish the awards to be issued, and approve the terms and conditions of each award contract.
Under the 2010 Plan, the Corporation may grant, among other things, nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, or any combination thereof to certain employees and directors. Each award is evidenced by an award agreement that specifies the number of shares awarded, the vesting period, the performance requirements, and such other provisions as the Compensation Committee determines. Upon a change-in-control of the Corporation, as defined in the 2010 Plan, all outstanding awards immediately vest.
The Corporation has granted restricted stock awards to certain employees and directors. Restricted stock awards are issued at no cost to the recipient, and can be settled only in shares at the end of the vesting period. These awards vest on the anniversary date of the award if certain specified net income performance targets as established by the Compensation Committee are achieved. Restricted stock awards provide the holder with full voting rights and cash dividends during the vesting period. The fair value of the restricted stock awards is the closing market price of the Corporation’s common stock on the date of the grant and compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period of the awards. Restricted stock awarded during the period presented vest under a graduated schedule over a five-year period.
The following table summarizes the status of the restricted stock awards as of June 30, 2013, and activity for the year ended June 30, 2013:
There was no expense recognized in the 2013 fiscal year in connection with the restricted stock awards since the grants scheduled to vest in the 2013 fiscal year expired due to not meeting the performance targets. For the year ended June 30, 2012, $12 has been charged to expense in connection with the restricted stock awards. As of June 30, 2013, there was $108 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested shares granted under the plan. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 4.0 years.

The difference between the provision for income taxes and amounts computed by applying the statutory income tax rate of 34% to statutory income before taxes consists of the following for the years ended June 30:
At June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012, the Corporation had no unrecognized tax benefits recorded. The Corporation does not expect the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits to significantly increase within the next twelve months. There were no interest or penalties recorded for the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 and there were no amounts accrued for interest and penalties at June 30, 2013 and 2012.
The Corporation and the Bank are subject to U.S. federal income tax as an income-based tax and a capital-based franchise tax in the state of Ohio. The Corporation and the Bank are no longer subject to examination by taxing authorities for years before 2009.
NOTE 10-REGULATORY MATTERS
The Bank is subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and prompt corrective-action regulations involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors and the regulators can lower classifications in certain cases. Failure to meet various capital requirements can initiate regulatory action that could have a direct material effect on the financial statements. Management believes as of June 30, 2013, the Bank has met all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.
The prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications, including well capitalized, adequately capitalized, under-capitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. If adequately capitalized, regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits. If undercapitalized, capital distributions are limited, as is asset growth and expansion, and plans for capital restoration are required.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As of fiscal year-end 2013, the Corporation met the definition of a small bank holding company and, therefore, was exempt from consolidated risk-based and leverage capital adequacy guidelines for bank holding companies. At year-end 2013 and 2012, actual Bank capital levels (in millions) and minimum required levels were as follows:
As of the latest regulatory examination, the Bank was categorized as well capitalized. There are no conditions or events since that examination that management believes may have changed the Bank’s category.
The Corporation’s principal source of funds for dividend payment is dividends received from the Bank. Banking regulations limit the amount of dividends that may be paid without prior approval of regulatory agencies. Under these regulations, the amount of dividends that may be paid in any calendar year is limited to the current year’s net profits, combined with the retained net profits of the preceding two years, subject to the capital requirements described above. As of June 30, 2013 the Bank could, without prior approval, declare a dividend of approximately $4,494.
On February 26, 2013, the Corporation filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) related to a $10 million shareholder rights offering. Under the rights offering, the Corporation distributed to its shareholders of record as of March 26, 2013, proportional rights to purchase additional shares and the opportunity to purchase shares in excess of their basic subscription rights. The Corporation also offered any shares not subscribed for in the rights offering and public offering through a subsequent public offering. In July 2013, the Corporation completed its rights offering with the sale of 655,668 shares of common stock for gross proceeds of approximately $10.0 million. The Corporation intends to use the net proceeds to enhance the Bank’s overall capital position, for general corporate purposes and future organic and other growth opportunities.
NOTE 11-COMMITMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK
The Bank is a party to commitments to extend credit in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. Commitments are agreements to lend to customers providing there are no violations of any condition established in the contract. Commitments to extend credit have a fixed expiration date or other termination clause. These instruments involve elements of credit and interest rate risk more than the amount recognized in the statements of financial position. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments to extend credit as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.
The Bank evaluates each customer’s credit on a case by case basis. The amount of collateral obtained is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer. The amount of commitments to extend credit and the exposure to credit loss for non-performance by the customer was $35,776 and $33,808 as of June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Of the June 30, 2013 commitments, $27,913 carried variable rates of interest ranging from 1.25% to 8.25% and $7,863 carried fixed rates of interest ranging from 1.52% to 17.25%. Of the June 30, 2012 commitments, $28,978 carried variable rates of interest ranging from 2.00% to 7.25% and $4,830 carried fixed rates of interest ranging from 2.25% to 8.50%. Financial standby letters of credit were $485 and $645 as of June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. In addition, commitments to extend credit of $8,351 and $8,029 as of June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, were available to checking account customers related to the overdraft protection program. Since some loan commitments expire without being used, the amount does not necessarily represent future cash commitments.

NOTE 12-FAIR VALUE
Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
Financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis include the following:
Securities available-for-sale: When available, the fair values of available-for-sale securities are determined by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1 inputs). For securities where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are calculated based on market prices of similar securities (Level 2 inputs). For securities where quoted prices or market prices of similar securities are not available, fair values are calculated using discounted cash flows or other market indicators (Level 3 inputs). The fair value of the Level 3 security is calculated using spread to the swap and LIBOR curves. During times when trading is more liquid, broker quotes are used (if available) to validate the model. Rating agency and industry research reports as well as defaults and deferrals on the individual security is reviewed and incorporated into the calculation.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below, segregated by the level of the valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value:
There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the 2013 or the 2012 fiscal year.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The following table presents a reconciliation of the trust preferred security measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012:
The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Corporation’s trust preferred security are probabilities of specific-issuer defaults and deferrals and specific-issuer recovery assumptions. Significant increases in specific-issuer default assumptions or decreases in specific-issuer recovery assumptions would result in a significantly lower fair value measurement. Conversely, decreases in specific-issuer default assumptions or increases in specific-issuer recovery assumptions would result in a higher fair value measurement.
Certain financial assets and financial liabilities are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis; that is, the instruments are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances. Financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis include the following:
Impaired Loans: At the time a loan is considered impaired, it is valued at the lower of cost or fair value. Impaired loans carried at fair value generally receive specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses or are charged down to their fair value. For collateral dependent loans, fair value is commonly based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.
Financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis are summarized below:
Impaired loans, which are generally measured for impairment using the fair value of the collateral for collateral dependent loans, had a principal balance of $839, with a valuation allowance of $220 at June 30, 2013. The resulting impact to the provision for loan losses was a reduction of $48 being recorded for the year ended June 30, 2013. As of June 30, 2012, impaired loans with a principal balance of $1,479 had a valuation allowance of $343. The resulting impact to the provision for loan losses was a reduction of $24 being recorded for the year ended June 30, 2012.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The valuation technique used by an independent third party appraiser in the fair value measurement of collateral for collateral-dependent commercial real estate impaired loans primarily consisted of the sales comparison approach. The valuation technique used by an independent third party appraiser in the fair value measurement of collateral for collateral-dependent 1-4 family non-owner occupied impaired loans primarily consisted of the sales comparison and income approach. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement relate to adjustments made to the value set forth in the appraisal by deducting estimated holding costs, costs to sell and a distressed sale adjustment. During the 2013 fiscal year, collateral discounts for 1-4 family non-owner occupied impaired loans ranged from 0% to 20%. During the 2012 fiscal year, collateral discounts for commercial real estate impaired loans ranged from 33% to 41% and for 1-4 family non-owner occupied impaired loans ranged from 15% to 39%.
Estimated fair value for cash and cash equivalents, certificates of deposits in other financial institutions, accrued interest receivable and payable, demand and savings deposits and short-term borrowings were considered to approximate carrying value. The methodologies for other financial assets and financial liabilities are discussed below:
Loans held for sale: The fair value of loans held for sale is estimated based upon binding contracts and quotes from third party investors resulting in a Level 2 classification.
Loans: Fair value for loans was estimated for portfolios of loans with similar financial characteristics. For adjustable rate loans that reprice at least annually and for fixed rate commercial loans with maturities of six months or less which possess normal risk characteristics, carrying value was determined to be fair value. Fair value of other types of loans (including adjustable rate loans which reprice less frequently than annually and fixed rate term loans or loans which possess higher risk characteristics) was estimated by discounting future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for similar anticipated maturities resulting in a Level 3 classification. The methods utilized to estimate the fair value of loans do not necessarily represent an exit price.
Securities held-to-maturity: The held-to-maturity security is a revenue bond made to a local municipality. The fair value of this security is calculated using a spread to the Bloomberg municipal fair market health care curve resulting in a Level 3 classification.
Time deposits: Fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit was estimated using the rates offered at June 30, 2013 and 2012, for deposits of similar remaining maturities. Estimated fair value does not include the benefit that result from low-cost funding provided by the deposit liabilities compared to the cost of borrowing funds in the market resulting in a Level 2 classification.
Federal Home Loan Bank advances: Fair value of Federal Home Loan Bank advances was estimated using current rates at June 30, 2013 and 2012 for similar financing resulting in a Level 2 classification.
Federal bank and other restricted stocks: Federal bank and other restricted stocks include stock acquired for regulatory purposes, such as Federal Home Loan Bank stock and Federal Reserve Bank stock that are accounted for at cost due to restrictions placed on their transferability; and therefore, are not subject to the fair value disclosure requirements. The Corporation’s lending commitments have variable interest rates and “escape” clauses if the customer’s credit quality deteriorates. Therefore, the fair values of these items are not significant and are not included in the following table.
The following table shows the estimated fair values of financial instruments that are reported at amortized cost in the Corporation’s consolidated balance sheets, segregated by the level of the valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value:
