NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited financial statements of the Company were prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X and do not include information or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements have been included. The results of operations for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire fiscal year. These statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for the year ended December 31, 2010.
In preparing the financial statements, the Company is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, changes in equity and cash flows for the interim periods presented. These adjustments are of a normal recurring nature and include appropriate estimated provisions.
Certain amounts reported in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on previously reported equity or net income.
2. Accounting Developments
In January 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-01, Deferral of the Effective Date of Disclosures about Troubled Debt Restructurings in Update No. 2010-20. ASU 2011-01 temporarily delays the effective date of the disclosures surrounding troubled debt restructurings in ASU 2010-20 for public companies. The effective date of the new disclosures is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2011. The adoption of ASU 2011-01 did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.
In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-02, A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring is a Troubled Debt Restructuring. ASU 2011-02 provides clarification on guidance on a creditor’s evaluation of whether it has granted a concession and whether a debtor is experiencing financial difficulties. The effective date for ASU 2011-02 is for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011. The adoption of ASU 2011-02 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position, disclosures or level of troubled debt restructurings.
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement. ASU 2011-04 amends the fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in order to gain consistency between the generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and the International Financial Reporting Standards. The effective date for ASU 2011-04 is for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after December 15, 2011. The adoption of ASU 2011-04 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or disclosures.
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income. ASU 2011-05 requires entities to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate consecutive statements. The effective date for ASU 2011-05 is for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after December 15, 2011. The adoption of ASU 2011-05 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position. It will present a change in disclosure as the Company currently presents comprehensive income in its consolidated statement of changes in shareholders’ equity.

3. Acquisition Activity
On July 15, 2011, the Company completed the acquisition of GS Financial Corp., the holding company of Guaranty Savings Bank of Metairie, Louisiana. On the July 15, 2011 acquisition date, Home Bancorp Acquisition Corp., a newly created wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, was merged with and into GS Financial Corp., and immediately thereafter, GS Financial Corp. was merged with and into the Company, with the Company as the surviving corporation, and Guaranty Savings Bank, the former subsidiary of GS Financial Corp., was merged with and into Home Bank, with Home Bank as the surviving institution. Shareholders of GS Financial received $21.00 per share in cash, yielding an aggregate deal value of $26.4 million. The combined company had total assets of approximately $975 million, $640 million in loans and $720 million in deposits as of July 15, 2011. The Company incurred $348,000 in pre-tax merger-related expenses during the first half of 2011. The acquisition of GS Financial Corp. is being accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.

The amortized cost and estimated fair value by maturity of the Company’s investment securities as of June 30, 2011 are shown in the following table. Securities are classified according to their contractual maturities without consideration of principal amortization, potential prepayments or call options. The expected maturity of a security, in particular mortgage-backed securities, certain U.S. government agency securities and municipal bonds, may differ from its contractual maturity because of the exercise of call options. Accordingly, actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities.

Amortized Cost
Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment at least quarterly, and more frequently when economic and market conditions warrant such evaluations. Consideration is given to (1) the extent and length of time the fair value has been below cost; (2) the reasons for the decline in value; and (3) the Company’s intent to sell a security or whether it is more likely than not the Company will be required to sell the security before the recovery of its amortized cost, which may extend to maturity.
The Company has developed a process to identify securities that could potentially have a credit impairment that is other-than-temporary. This process involves evaluating each security for impairment by monitoring credit performance, collateral type, collateral geography, bond credit support, loan-to-value ratios, credit scores, loss severity levels, pricing levels, downgrades by rating agencies, cash flow projections and other factors as indicators of potential credit issues. The Company performs a credit analysis based on different credit scenarios at least quarterly to detect impairment on its investment securities. When the Company determines that a security is deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired, an impairment loss is recognized.
During the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company recorded gross gains of $238,000 and gross losses of $404,000 related to the sale of investment securities. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company recorded gross gains of $68,000 and gross losses of $29,000 related to the sale of investment securities.

A summary of the activity in the allowance for loan losses, excluding loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality, during the six months ended June 30, 2011 is as follows.
On March 12, 2010, the Bank acquired certain assets and liabilities of the former Statewide Bank in a Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) assisted transaction. In connection with the transaction, Home Bank entered into loss sharing agreements with the FDIC which cover the acquired loan portfolio (“Covered Loans”) and repossessed assets (collectively referred to as “Covered Assets”). Under the terms of the loss sharing agreements, the FDIC will absorb 80% of the first $41,000,000 of losses incurred on Covered Assets and 95% of losses on Covered Assets exceeding $41,000,000.
Over the life of the Covered Loans, the Company continues to estimate cash flows expected to be collected on individual loans or on pools of loans sharing common risk characteristics. The Company evaluates whether the present value of Covered Loans has decreased and if so, a provision for loan loss is recognized. For any increases in cash flows expected to be collected, the Company adjusts the amount of accretable yield recognized on a prospective basis over the remaining life of the applicable pool of loans. As of June 30, 2011, the Company had determined that no provision for loan loss was needed on the Covered Loan portfolio.
Credit quality indicators on the Company’s loan portfolio not covered under FDIC loss-sharing agreements (“Noncovered Loans”) as of the dates indicated are as follows.
10
The above classifications follow regulatory guidelines and can generally be described as follows: pass loans are of satisfactory quality, special mention loans have a potential weakness or risk that may result in the deterioration of future repayment, substandard loans are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the borrower or of the collateral pledged (these loans have a well defined weakness and there is a distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss); doubtful loans, based on existing circumstances, have weaknesses that make collection or liquidation in full highly questionable and improbable. In addition, residential loans are classified using an inter-agency regulatory methodology that incorporates the extent of the delinquency and the loan-to-value ratios. These classifications were the most current available as of the dates indicated and were generally updated within the quarter. Covered loans are excluded from the schedule of credit quality indicators due to reduced loss exposure resulting from the FDIC loss sharing agreements.
Age analysis of past due Noncovered Loans as of the dates indicated is as follows.

7. Fair Value Disclosures
The Company groups its financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in three levels as required by the ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. Under this guidance, fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability and establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to develop those assumptions and measure fair value. The hierarchy requires companies to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.
An asset or liability’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Management reviews and updates the fair value hierarchy classifications of the Company’s assets and liabilities on a quarterly basis.
Recurring Basis
Investment Securities Available for Sale
Fair values of investment securities available for sale were primarily measured using information from a third-party pricing service. This pricing service provides pricing information by utilizing evaluated pricing models supported with market data information. Standard inputs include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, benchmark securities, bids, offers and reference data from market research publications. If quoted prices were available in an active market, investment securities were classified as Level 1 measurements. If quoted prices were not available in an active market, fair values were estimated primarily by the use of pricing models. Level 2 investment securities were primarily comprised of mortgage-backed securities issued by government agencies and U.S. government-sponsored enterprises. In certain cases where there were limited or less transparent information provided by the Company’s third-party pricing service, fair value was estimated by the use of secondary pricing services or through the use of non-binding third-party broker quotes. Investment securities are classified within Level 3 when little or no market activity supports the fair value.
14
Management primarily identifies investment securities which may have traded in illiquid or inactive markets by identifying instances of a significant decrease in the volume and frequency of trades, relative to historical levels, as well as instances of a significant widening of the bid-ask spread in the brokered markets. Investment securities that are deemed to have been trading in illiquid or inactive markets may require the use of significant unobservable inputs. For example, management may use quoted prices for similar investment securities in the absence of a liquid and active market for the investment securities being valued. As of June 30, 2011, management did not make adjustments to prices provided by the third-party pricing service as a result of illiquid or inactive markets.
The following tables present the balances of assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.
The Company did not record any liabilities at fair value for which measurement of the fair value was made on a recurring basis.
15
The following table reconciles assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):

Balance as of June 30, 2011
The amount of total gains or losses for the period included in earnings attributable to the change in unrealized gains or losses relating to assets still held as of June 30, 2011
Nonrecurring Basis
The Company has segregated all financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis into the most appropriate level within the fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used to determine the fair value at the measurement date in the table below.
Loans, covered by loss sharing agreements
Impaired loans
Repossessed assets
Deposits acquired through business combination
16
In accordance with the provisions of ASC 310, Receivables, the Company records loans considered impaired at their fair value. A loan is considered impaired if it is probable the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Fair value is measured at the fair value of the collateral for collateral-dependent loans. Impaired loans are classified as Level 2 assets when measured using appraisals from external parties of the collateral less any prior liens. Impaired loans are classified as Level 3 when an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price. Repossessed assets are initially recorded at fair value less estimated costs to sell. The fair value of repossessed assets is based on property appraisals and an analysis of similar properties available. As such, the Company classifies repossessed assets as Level 2 assets. Repossessed assets are classified as Level 3 assets when an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the property is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price.
Certain assets and liabilities measured on a nonrecurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were acquired as part of the Statewide Bank acquisition. These assets and liabilities were recorded at their fair value upon acquisition in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
ASC 820 requires the disclosure of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate. The fair value of a financial instrument is the current amount that would be exchanged between willing parties, other than in a forced liquidation. Fair value is best determined based upon quoted market prices. However, in many instances, there are no quoted market prices for the Company’s various financial instruments. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. Accordingly, the fair value estimates may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument. ASC 820 excludes certain financial instruments and all non-financial instruments from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented may not necessarily represent the underlying fair value of the Company.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value:
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents and interest-bearing deposits in banks approximate their fair value.
The fair value for investment securities is determined from quoted market prices when available. If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using third-party pricing services or quoted market prices of securities with similar characteristics.
17
The fair value of mortgage loans held for sale and loans is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturity.
The fair value for cash surrender value of bank-owned life insurance is based on cash surrender values indicated by the insurance companies.
The fair value of demand deposits, savings and interest-bearing demand deposits is the amount payable on demand. The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the rates currently offered for certificates of similar remaining maturities.
The carrying amount of FHLB advances is estimated using the rates currently offered for advances of similar maturities.
The fair value of off-balance sheet financial instruments as of June 30, 2011 was immaterial.
The following table presents estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments as of the dates indicated.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW
During the second quarter of 2011, the Company earned $1.3 million, a decrease of $199,000, or 13.6%, compared to the second quarter of 2010. Diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of 2011 were $0.17, a decrease of $0.02, or 10.5%, compared to the second quarter of 2010. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company earned $2.1 million, a decrease $250,000, or 10.8%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010. Diluted earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 2011 were $0.28, a decrease of $0.02, or 6.7%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010.
On July 15, 2011, the Company completed the acquisition of GS Financial Corp., the holding company of Guaranty Savings Bank of Metairie, Louisiana. On the closing date, Guaranty Savings Bank was merged with and into the Bank, with the Bank as the surviving institution. We expect to consolidate the data processing and operating systems at the former Guaranty Savings Bank offices with the Bank’s operating systems in September 2011. Shareholders of GS Financial received $21.00 per share in cash, yielding an aggregate deal value of $26.4 million. As of the closing date, the combined company had total assets of approximately $975 million, $640 million in loans and $720 million in deposits. The Company incurred $348,000 in pre-tax merger-related expenses during the first half of 2011. See Note 3 of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.
On March 12, 2010, the Bank acquired certain assets and liabilities of the former Statewide Bank (“Statewide”) in a Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) assisted transaction. In connection with the transaction, Home Bank entered into loss sharing agreements with the FDIC which cover the acquired loan portfolio (“Covered Loans”) and repossessed assets (collectively referred to as “Covered Assets”). Under the terms of the loss sharing agreements, the FDIC will absorb 80% of the first $41,000,000 of losses incurred on Covered Assets and 95% of losses on Covered Assets exceeding $41,000,000.
Key components of the Company’s performance in the second quarter of 2011 are summarized below.
Assets totaled $717.4 million as of June 30, 2011, up $17.0 million, or 2.4%, from December 31, 2010.
Investment securities totaled $148.2 million as of June 30, 2011, an increase of $21.0 million, or 16.5%, from December 31, 2010. The increase was attributable to purchases of U.S. agency mortgage-backed securities and U.S. agency securities, which more than offset sales and calls. The Company sold a sizable portion of the Company’s non-agency mortgage-backed securities portfolio during the first quarter of 2011, which included

the below-investment grade securities held by the Company. The remaining portfolio of non-agency mortgage-backed securities held by the Company is rated investment grade by either Standard & Poor’s or Moody’s.
Loans totaled $449.5 million as of June 30, 2011, an increase of $9.6 million, or 2.2%, from December 31, 2010. Noncovered Loans totaled $381.1 million as of June 30, 2011, an increase of $21.7 million, or 6.0%, from December 31, 2010. Growth in the Noncovered Loan portfolio was primarily in commercial and industrial and commercial real estate loans. Covered Loans totaled $68.4 million as of June 30, 2011, a decrease of $12.0 million, or 14.9%, from December 31, 2010.
Core deposits (i.e., checking, savings, and money market) increased for the 8th consecutive quarter, growing $13.3 million, or 4.0%, from December 31, 2010. Core deposits totaled $344.8 million at June 30, 2011. Customer deposits, including certificates of deposit, totaled $527.4 million as of June 30, 2011, a decrease of $25.8 million, or 4.7%, from December 31, 2010.
Interest income decreased $924,000, or 10.2%, in the second quarter of 2011 compared to the second quarter of 2010. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, interest income decreased $24,000, or 0.1%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010. The decreases were driven by lower yields on average interest-earning assets.
Interest expense decreased $389,000, or 25.3%, for the second quarter of 2011 compared to the second quarter of 2010. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, interest expense decreased $505,000, or 17.2%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010. The decreases were primarily due to decreases in the average rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities as the result of reduced market rates and changes in the composition of our interest-bearing liabilities.
The provision for loan losses totaled $265,000 for the second quarter of 2011, an increase of $65,000, or 32.5%, compared to the second quarter of 2010. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, the provision for loan losses totaled $367,000, a decrease of $183,000, or 33.3%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010. Excluding Covered Loans, the allowance for loan losses amounted to 1.06% of total loans and 360.0% of total nonperforming loans as of June 30, 2011, compared to 1.09% and 371.2%, respectively, as of December 31, 2010.
Noninterest income for the second quarter of 2011 increased $708,000, or 50.8%, compared to the second quarter of 2010. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, noninterest income increased $954,000, or 39.9%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010. The increases relate primarily to a $525,000 settlement payment received by the Company during the second quarter of 2011. The settlement relates to litigation brought by the Company in 2008 against a counterparty for losses reported by the Company in 2008 relating to the Company’s former business line of providing cash to third-party ATM providers.
Noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2011 increased $321,000, or 4.9%, compared to the second quarter of 2010. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, noninterest expense increased $1.8 million, or 15.4%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010. The increases were primarily due to higher compensation and benefits, occupancy and data processing and communications expenses related to the Statewide acquisition and the addition of our Baton Rouge headquarters location in mid-March 2010. Additionally, regulatory fees increased as a result of an increase in base insurance premium assessments on deposits by the FDIC.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Loans, Asset Quality and Allowance for Loan Losses
Loans – Loans totaled $449.5 million as of June 30, 2011, an increase of $9.6 million, or 2.2%, from December 31, 2010. The Company distinguishes its loan portfolio into two major classes: 1) loans subject to the FDIC loss
20
sharing agreements, which are referred to as “Covered Loans”, and 2) loans that are not subject to the FDIC loss sharing agreements, which are referred to as “Noncovered Loans.” Noncovered Loans totaled $381.1 million as of June 30, 2011, an increase of $21.7 million, or 6.0%, from December 31, 2010. Noncovered Loan growth was concentrated in the commercial and industrial loan and commercial real estate loan portfolios.
The following table summarizes the composition of the Company’s loan portfolio as of the dates indicated.

Asset Quality – One of management’s key objectives has been, and continues to be, maintaining a high level of asset quality. In addition to maintaining credit standards for new loan originations, the Company proactively monitors loans and collection and workout processes of delinquent or problem loans. When a borrower fails to make a scheduled payment, the Company attempts to cure the deficiency by making personal contact with the borrower. Initial contacts are generally made within 10 days after the date the payment is due. In most cases, deficiencies are promptly resolved. If the delinquency continues, late charges are assessed and additional efforts are made to collect the deficiency. Loans which are designated as “special mention,” classified or which are delinquent 90 days or more are reported to the Board of Directors of the Company monthly. For loans where the collection of principal or interest payments is doubtful, the accrual of interest income ceases. It is our policy, with certain limited exceptions, to discontinue accruing interest and reverse any interest accrued on any loan which is 90 days or more past due. On occasion, this action may be taken earlier if the financial condition of the borrower raises significant concern with regard to the borrower’s ability to service the debt in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement. Interest income is not accrued on these loans until the borrower’s financial condition and payment record demonstrate an ability to service the debt.
21
Repossessed assets which are acquired as a result of foreclosure are classified as repossessed assets until sold. Repossessed assets are recorded at the fair value less estimated selling costs. Costs associated with acquiring and improving a foreclosed property are usually capitalized to the extent that the carrying value does not exceed fair value less estimated selling costs. Holding costs are charged to expense. Gains and losses on the sale of repossessed assets are charged to operations, as incurred.
An impaired loan generally is one for which it is probable, based on current information, that the Bank will not collect all the amounts due under the contractual terms of the loan. Large groups of smaller balance, homogeneous loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Loans collectively evaluated for impairment include smaller balance commercial real estate loans, residential real estate loans and consumer loans. These loans are evaluated as a group because they have similar characteristics and performance experience. Larger commercial real estate, multi-family residential, construction and land, and commercial other loans are individually evaluated for impairment.
Federal regulations and internal policies require that the Company utilize an internal asset classification system as a means of reporting problem and potential problem assets. The Company has incorporated an internal asset classification system, substantially consistent with federal banking regulations, as a part of our credit monitoring system. Federal banking regulations set forth a classification scheme for problem and potential problem assets as “substandard,” “doubtful” or “loss” assets. An asset is considered “substandard” if it is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. “Substandard” assets include those characterized by the “distinct possibility” that the insured institution will sustain “some loss” if the deficiencies are not corrected. Assets classified as “doubtful” have all of the weaknesses inherent in those classified “substandard” with the added characteristic that the weaknesses present make “collection or liquidation in full,” on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, “highly questionable and improbable.” Assets classified as “loss” are those considered “uncollectible” and of such little value that their continuance as assets without the establishment of a specific loss reserve is not warranted.
A savings institution’s determination as to the classification of its assets and the amount of its valuation allowances is subject to review by federal bank regulators which can order the establishment of additional general or specific loss allowances. The federal banking agencies have adopted an interagency policy statement on the allowance for loan and lease losses. The policy statement provides guidance for financial institutions on both the responsibilities of management for the assessment and establishment of allowances and guidance for banking agency examiners to use in determining the adequacy of general valuation guidelines. Generally, the policy statement recommends that institutions have effective systems and controls to identify, monitor and address asset quality problems; that management analyze all significant factors that affect the collectability of the portfolio in a reasonable manner; and that management establish acceptable allowance evaluation processes that meet the objectives set forth in the policy statement. Our management believes that, based on information currently available, our allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level which covers all known and inherent losses that are both probable and reasonably estimable at each reporting date. However, actual losses are dependent upon future events and, as such, further additions to the level of allowances for loan losses may become necessary.
The Company reviews and classifies assets monthly. The Board of Directors is provided with monthly reports on our classified assets. Assets are classified in accordance with the management guidelines described above. As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, substandard loans, excluding Covered Loans, amounted to $4.6 million and $2.3 million, respectively. The amount of the allowance for loan losses allocated to substandard loans totaled $237,000 and $394,000 as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. There were no assets classified as doubtful or loss at June 30, 2011 or December 31, 2010.
The loans and repossessed assets that were acquired in the Statewide acquisition are covered by loss sharing agreements between the FDIC and the Bank, which affords the Bank significant loss coverage. As a result of the loss coverage provided by the FDIC, the risk of loss on the Covered Assets is significantly different from those assets not covered under the loss share agreements. At their acquisition date, Covered Assets were recorded at their fair value, which included an estimate of credit losses. Asset quality information on Covered Assets is reported before consideration of applied loan discounts, as these discounts were recorded based on the estimated cash flow of the total loan pool and not on a specific loan basis. Because of the loss share agreements, balances disclosed below are for general comparative purposes only and do not represent the Company’s risk of loss on
22
Covered Assets. Because these assets are covered by the loss share agreements with the FDIC, the FDIC will absorb 80% of the first $41,000,000 of losses incurred on Covered Assets and 95% of losses on Covered Assets exceeding $41,000,000.
Nonperforming assets, defined as nonaccrual loans, accruing loans past due 90 days or more and foreclosed property, excluding Covered Assets, amounted to $1.2 million, or 0.19% of total assets, as of June 30, 2011, compared to $1.1 million, or 0.19% of total assets, as of December 31, 2010. The following table sets forth the composition of the Company’s nonperforming assets and troubled debt restructurings as of the dates indicated.

Net loan charge-offs for the second quarter of 2011 were $227,000 compared to $76,000 for the second quarter of 2010. Net loan charge-offs for the six months ended June 30, 2011 were $230,000 compared to $97,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010.
Real estate, or other collateral, which is acquired as a result of foreclosure is classified as foreclosed property until sold. Foreclosed property is recorded at fair value less estimated costs to sell. Holding costs are charged to expense. Gains and losses on the sale of real estate owned are charged to operations, as incurred.
Allowance for Loan Losses –The allowance for loan losses is established through provisions for loan losses. The Company maintains the allowance at a level believed, to the best of management’s knowledge, to cover all known and inherent losses in the portfolio that are both probable and reasonable to estimate at each reporting date. Management reviews the allowance for loan losses at least quarterly in order to identify those inherent losses and to assess the overall collection probability for the loan portfolio. Our evaluation process includes, among other things, an analysis of delinquency trends, nonperforming loan trends, the level of charge-offs and recoveries, prior loss experience, total loans outstanding, the volume of loan originations, the type, size and geographic concentration of our loans, the value of collateral securing loans, the borrower’s ability to repay and repayment performance, the number of loans requiring heightened management oversight, local economic conditions and industry experience. Based on this evaluation, management assigns risk rankings to segments of the loan portfolio. Such risk ratings are periodically reviewed by management and revised as deemed appropriate. These efforts are supplemented by independent reviews and validations performed by an outsourced independent loan
23
reviewer. The results of the reviews are reported directly to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. The establishment of the allowance for loan losses is significantly affected by management judgment and uncertainties and there is likelihood that different amounts would be reported under different conditions or assumptions. Various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review our allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require management to make additional provisions for estimated loan losses based upon judgments different from those of management.
With respect to Covered Loans, the Company follows the reserve standard set forth in ASC 310, Receivables. At acquisition, the Company reviewed each loan to determine whether there was evidence of deterioration in credit quality since origination and if it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the loan’s contractual terms. The Company considered expected prepayments and estimated the amount and timing of undiscounted expected principal, interest and other cash flows for each loan meeting the criteria above, and determined the excess of the loan’s scheduled contractual principal and interest payments in excess of cash flows expected at acquisition as an amount that should not be accreted (nonaccretable difference). The remaining amount, representing the excess of the loan pool’s cash flows expected to be collected over the fair value, is accreted into interest income over the remaining life of the loan pool (accretable yield). The Company recorded a discount on these loans at acquisition to record them at their realizable cash flow. As a result, acquired loans subject to ASC 310, Receivables, are excluded from the calculation of loan loss reserves at the acquisition date.
Loans acquired in the Statewide acquisition were recorded at their acquisition date fair value, which was based on expected cash flows and included an estimation of expected future loan losses. If the Company determines that losses arose after the acquisition date, the additional losses will be reflected as a provision for loan losses. Additionally, the acquired loans will be included in the calculation of the Company’s allowance for loan losses to the extent the losses are not covered by the FDIC loss sharing agreements.
The Company will continue to monitor and modify our allowance for loan losses as conditions dictate. No assurance can be given that our level of allowance for loan losses will cover all of the inherent losses on our loans or that future adjustments to the allowance for loan losses will not be necessary if economic and other conditions differ substantially from the conditions used by management to determine the current level of the allowance for loan losses.
The following table presents the activity in the allowance for loan losses during the first half of 2011.

Excluding Covered Loans, the allowance for loan losses amounted to 1.06% of total loans and 360.0% of total nonperforming loans as of June 30, 2011, compared to 1.09% and 371.2%, respectively, as of December 31, 2010.
Investment Securities
The Company’s investment securities portfolio totaled $148.2 million as of June 30, 2011, an increase of $21.0 million, or 16.5%, from December 31, 2010. As of June 30, 2011, the Company had a net unrealized gain on its available for sale investment securities portfolio of $1.9 million compared to $1.0 million as of December 31, 2010.
The Company sold $3.6 million of its non-agency mortgage-backed securities portfolio during the first quarter of 2011. The sale of these securities, which included the below-investment-grade securities held by the Company, resulted in a $166,000 pre-tax net loss during the first quarter of 2011. The remaining portfolio of non-agency mortgage-backed securities, which had an amortized cost of $15.6 million as of June 30, 2011, is rated investment grade by Standard & Poor’s and/or Moody’s.

Funding Sources
Deposits – Deposits totaled $527.4 million as of June 30, 2011, a decrease of $25.8 million, or 4.7%, compared to December 31, 2010. The Company experienced its 8th consecutive quarter of core deposit (i.e., checking, savings, and money market) growth during the quarter ended June 30, 2011. Core deposits totaled $344.8 million as of June 30, 2011, an increase of $13.3 million, or 4.0%, compared to December 31, 2010. Certificates of deposit (“CD”) totaled $182.6 million as of June 30, 2011, a decrease of $39.1 million, or 17.6%, compared to December 31, 2010. The decrease in CD balances is largely attributable to the low interest rate environment and depositor reluctance to commit to longer-maturity deposit products. The following table sets forth the composition of the Company’s deposits at the dates indicated.

Federal Home Loan Bank Advances – Short-term FHLB advances totaled $30.5 million as of June 30, 2011. The Company did not have short-term FHLB advances outstanding as of December 31, 2010. The average rates paid on short-term FHLB advances were 0.12% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to 0.20% and 0.26% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively.
Long-term FHLB advances totaled $22.0 million as of June 30, 2011 and $13.0 million as of December 31, 2010. The average rates paid on long-term FHLB advances were 2.64% and 2.83% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, compared to 3.46% and 3.51% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively.
Shareholders’ Equity – Shareholders’ equity provides a source of permanent funding that allows for future growth and provides the Company with a cushion to withstand unforeseen adverse developments. Shareholders’ equity increased $2.2 million, or 1.7%, from $131.5 million as of December 31, 2010 to $133.8 million as of June 30, 2011.
25
The Company completed a previously announced repurchase program (the “July 2010” program) during the second quarter of 2011. Under the July 2010 program, the Company acquired 424,027 shares of the Company’s common stock at an average price of $13.56 per share.
The Company’s Board of Directors approved a new program to repurchase up to 402,835 shares, or approximately 5%, of the Company’s outstanding common stock in May 2011. Repurchases may be made by the Company in open-market or privately-negotiated transactions as, in the opinion of management, market conditions warrant.
As of June 30, 2011, the Bank had regulatory capital that was well in excess of regulatory requirements. The following table details the Bank’s actual levels and current regulatory capital requirements as of June 30, 2011.

LIQUIDITY AND ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT
Liquidity Management
Liquidity management encompasses our ability to ensure that funds are available to meet the cash flow requirements of depositors and borrowers, while also ensuring adequate cash flow exists to meet the Company’s needs, including operating, strategic and capital. The Company develops its liquidity management strategies as part of its overall asset/liability management process. Our primary sources of funds are from deposits, amortization of loans, loan prepayments and the maturity of loans, investment securities and other investments and other funds provided from operations. While scheduled payments from the amortization of loans and investment securities and maturing investment securities are relatively predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments can be greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. The Company also maintains excess funds in short-term, interest-bearing assets that provide additional liquidity. As of June 30, 2011, cash and cash equivalents totaled $21.6 million. At such date, investment securities available for sale totaled $141.0 million.
The Company uses its liquidity to fund existing and future loan commitments, to fund maturing certificates of deposit and demand deposit withdrawals, to invest in other interest-earning assets and to meet operating expenses. As of June 30, 2011, certificates of deposit maturing within the next 12 months totaled $129.4 million. Based upon historical experience, the Company anticipates that a significant portion of the maturing certificates of deposit will be redeposited with us. For the three months ended June 30, 2011, the average balance of our outstanding FHLB advances was $41.0 million. As of June 30, 2011, the Company had $52.5 million in outstanding FHLB advances and had $217.3 million in additional FHLB advances available.
In addition to cash flow from loan and securities payments and prepayments as well as from sales of securities available for sale, the Company has significant borrowing capacity available to fund liquidity needs. In recent years, the Company has utilized borrowings as a cost efficient addition to deposits as a source of funds. Our borrowings consist of advances from the FHLB of Dallas, of which the Company is a member. Under terms of the collateral agreement with the FHLB, the Company pledges residential mortgage loans and investment securities as well as the Company’s stock in the FHLB as collateral for such advances.

Asset/Liability Management
The objective of asset/liability management is to implement strategies for the funding and deployment of the Company’s financial resources that are expected to maximize soundness and profitability over time at acceptable levels of risk. Interest rate sensitivity is the potential impact of changing rate environments on both net interest income and cash flows. The Company measures its interest rate sensitivity over the near term primarily by running net interest income simulations.
Our interest rate sensitivity also is monitored by management through the use of models which generate estimates of the change in its net interest income over a range of interest rate scenarios. Based on the Company’s interest rate risk model, the table below sets forth the results of immediate and sustained changes in interest rates as of June 30, 2011.
Shift in Interest Rates
(in bps)
+300
+200
+100
The actual impact of changes in interest rates will depend on many factors. These factors include the Company’s ability to achieve expected growth in earning assets and maintain a desired mix of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, the actual timing of asset and liability repricings, the magnitude of interest rate changes and corresponding movement in interest rate spreads and the level of success of asset/liability management strategies.
Off-Balance Sheet Activities
To meet the financing needs of its customers, the Bank issues financial instruments which represent conditional obligations that are not recognized, wholly or in part, in the statements of financial condition. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Such instruments expose the Company to varying degrees of credit and interest rate risk in much the same way as funded loans. The same credit policies are used in these commitments as for on-balance sheet instruments. The Company’s exposure to credit losses from these financial instruments is represented by their contractual amounts.
The following table summarizes our outstanding commitments to originate loans and to advance additional amounts pursuant to outstanding letters of credit, lines of credit and undisbursed construction loans as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.
Letters of credit
Lines of credit
Undisbursed portion of loans in process
Commitments to originate loans
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to be drawn upon, the total commitment amounts generally represent future cash requirements.
Unfunded commitments under commercial lines of credit, revolving credit lines and overdraft protection agreements are commitments for possible future extensions of credit to existing customers. These lines of credit usually do not contain a specified maturity date and may not be drawn upon to the total extent to which the Company is committed.
27
The Company is subject to certain claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, the ultimate disposition of these matters is not expected to have a material effect on the financial condition or results of operations of the Company.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company’s net income for the second quarter of 2011 was $1.3 million, a decrease of $199,000, or 13.6%, compared to the second quarter of 2010. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company’s net income was $2.1 million, a decrease of $250,000, or 10.8%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010. Diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of 2011 were $0.17, a decrease of $0.02, or 10.5%, compared to the second quarter of 2010. Diluted earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 2011 were $0.28, a decrease of $0.02, or 6.7%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010.
Net Interest Income – Net interest income is the difference between the interest income earned on interest-earning assets, such as loans and investment securities, and the interest expense paid on interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings. The Company’s net interest income is largely determined by our net interest spread, which is the difference between the average yield earned on interest-earning assets and the average rate paid on interest bearing liabilities, and the relative amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The Company’s net interest spread was 4.34% and 4.62% for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and 4.37% for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010. The Company’s net interest margin, which is net interest income as a percentage of average interest-earning assets, was 4.55% and 4.90% for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and 4.61% and 4.76% for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The decreases in net interest margin were primarily due to lower average yields on interest-earning assets as a result of the current low rate environment.
Net interest income totaled $7.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, a decrease of $535,000, or 7.1%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, net interest income totaled $13.8 million, an increase of $481,000, or 3.6%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010.
Interest income decreased $924,000, or 10.2%, in the second quarter of 2011 compared to the second quarter of 2010. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, interest income decreased $24,000, or 0.1%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010. The decreases were driven by lower average yields on interest-earning assets, primarily loans and investment securities, due to the current low rate environment.
Interest expense decreased $389,000, or 25.3%, in the second quarter of 2011 compared to the second quarter of 2010. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, interest expense decreased $505,000, or 17.2%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease was primarily due to lower average rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities as the result of reduced market rates and an increase in the average volume of lower cost interest-bearing liabilities.

Provision for Loan Losses – For the quarter ended June 30, 2011, the Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $265,000, compared to a provision of $200,000 for the same period in 2010. For the six months ended, June 30, 2011, the Company recorded a provision of $367,000, compared to a provision of $550,000 for the same period in 2010. As of June 30, 2011, the Company’s ratio of allowance for loan losses to total Noncovered Loans was 1.06%, compared to 1.09% as of December 31, 2010.
Noninterest Income – The Company’s noninterest income was $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, $708,000, or 50.8%, higher than the $1.4 million earned for the same period in 2010. Noninterest income was $3.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, $954,000, or 39.9%, higher than the $2.4 million earned for the same period of 2010. The increases relate primarily to a $525,000 settlement payment received by the Company during the second quarter of 2011. The settlement relates to litigation brought by the Company against a counterparty for losses reported by the Company in 2008 relating to the Company’s former business line of providing cash to third-party ATM providers. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, the Company has foregone its right to pursue future claims related to any unrecovered loss.
The increase in noninterest income for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010 was also attributable to higher levels of bank card fees and a $141,000 charge for the other-than-temporary impairment of securities during the second quarter of 2010.
The increase in noninterest income for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010 was also attributable to higher levels of bank card fees and a full six months of discount accretion on the FDIC loss sharing receivable, which originated with the Statewide Bank acquisition late in the first quarter of 2010.

Noninterest Expense – The Company’s noninterest expense was $6.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, $321,000, or 4.9%, higher than the $6.5 million in noninterest expense for the same period in 2010. Noninterest expense was $13.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, $1.8 million, or 15.4%, higher than the $11.7 million recorded for the same period of 2010.
The increase in noninterest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010 was primarily attributable to merger-related professional services incurred in the second quarter of 2011.
The increase in noninterest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2010 was primarily due to higher compensation and benefits, occupancy and data processing and communications expenses related to the Statewide acquisition and the addition of our Baton Rouge headquarters location in mid-March 2010. Regulatory fees increased as a result of an increase in base insurance premium assessments on deposits by the FDIC.
Income Taxes – For the quarters ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010, the Company incurred income tax expense of $726,000 and $739,000, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate amounted to 36.4% and 33.5% during the second quarters of 2011 and 2010, respectively. For each of the six months ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010, the Company incurred income tax expense of $1.2 million. The Company’s effective tax rate amounted to 37.2% and 33.4% during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and June 30, 2010, respectively. The effective tax rates during the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2011 were higher than the statutory rate due to non-deductible merger-related expenses of $157,000 and $348,000, respectively. Other differences between the effective tax rate and the statutory tax rate primarily relate to variances in items that are non-taxable or non-deductible (i.e., state tax, tax-exempt income, tax credits, etc.).
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk are presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC for the year ended December 31, 2010, under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Asset/ Liability Management and Market Risk”. Additional information at June 30, 2011 is included herein under Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Asset/Liability Management”.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Our management evaluated, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations and are operating in an effective manner.
No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) occurred during the second quarter of 2011 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Below we supplement and amend the risk factors disclosed in Part I, “Item 1.A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
Such risks could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results, and are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we have deemed to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.
We may not realize the cost savings estimated for our acquisition of GS Financial Corp.
On July 15, 2011, we completed the acquisition (the “Acquisition”) of GS Financial Corp. (“GSFC”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Guaranty Savings Bank. The success of the Acquisition will depend, in part, on our ability to realize the estimated cost savings from combining GSFC’s business with ours. Our management has estimated that it expects to achieve total pre-tax cost savings of approximately $1.5 million by 2012 through the reduction of administrative and operational redundancies. While we continue to believe these cost savings estimates are achievable, it is possible that the potential cost savings could turn out to be more difficult to achieve than originally anticipated. The cost savings estimates also depend on the ability to combine the businesses of the Company and GSFC in a manner that permits those cost savings to be realized. If our estimates turn out to be incorrect or we are not able to successfully combine with GSFC, the anticipated cost savings may not be realized fully or at all or may take longer to realize than expected.
Unanticipated costs relating to the Acquisition could reduce our future earnings per share.
We believe that we have reasonably estimated the likely incremental costs of the combined operations of the Company and GSFC following the Acquisition. However, it is possible that unexpected transaction costs such as taxes, fees or professional expenses or unexpected future operating expenses, such as unanticipated costs to integrate the two businesses, increased personnel costs, additional provisions for loan losses or charge-offs of nonperforming assets, as well as other types of unanticipated adverse developments, could have a material adverse effect on the results of operations and financial condition of the Company following the Acquisition. In addition, if actual costs are materially different than expected costs, the Acquisition could have an adverse effect on our future earnings per share.
