Overview

On July 7, 2011 we completed our initial public offering of common stock in connection with Iroquois Federal Savings and Loan Association's (the "Association") mutual-to-stock conversion, selling 4,496,500 shares of common stock at $10.00 per share, including 384,900 shares sold to Iroquois Federal's employee stock ownership plan, and raising approximately $45.0 million of gross proceeds. In addition, we issued 314,755 shares of our common stock to the Iroquois Federal Foundation bringing our total shares to 4,811,255. The 314,755 shares donated to the foundation were valued at $3,147,550 ($10.00 per share) at the time of the conversion. This $3,147,550 and a $450,000 cash donation to the foundation were both expensed during the quarter ended September 30, 2011.

The Company is a savings and loan holding company and is subject to regulation by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. The Company's business activities are limited to oversight of its investment in the Association.

The Association is primarily engaged in providing a full range of banking and mortgage services to individual and corporate customers within a 100-mile radius of its locations in Watseka, Danville, Clifton and Hoopeston, Illinois and Osage Beach, Missouri. The principal activity of the Association's wholly-owned subsidiary, L.C.I. Service Corporation ("L.C.I."), is the sale of property and casualty insurance. The Association is subject to regulation by the Office of the Controller of the Currency and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

Our results of operations depend primarily on our net interest income. Net interest income is the difference between the interest income we earn on our interest-earning assets, consisting primarily of loans, investment securities and other interest-earning assets, and the interest paid on our interest-bearing liabilities, consisting primarily of savings and transaction accounts, certificates of deposit, and Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago advances. Our results of operations also are affected by our provision for loan losses, noninterest income and noninterest expense. Noninterest income consists primarily of customer service fees, brokerage commission income, insurance commission income, net realized gains on loan sales, mortgage banking income, and income on bank-owned life insurance. Noninterest expense consists primarily of compensation and benefits, occupancy and equipment, data processing, professional fees, marketing, office supplies, federal deposit insurance premiums, and foreclosed assets. Our results of operations also may be affected significantly by general and local economic and competitive conditions, changes in market interest rates, governmental policies and actions of regulatory authorities.

Our net interest rate spread (the difference between the yield on average interest-earning assets and the cost of average interest-bearing liabilities) decreased to 2.77% for the six months ended December 31, 2012 from 2.89% for the six months ended December 31, 2011. An increase in interest-earning assets contributed to an increase in net interest income to $7.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2012 from $7.0 million for the six months ended December 31, 2011.

Our emphasis on conservative loan underwriting has resulted in relatively low levels of non-performing assets at a time when many financial institutions are experiencing significant asset quality issues. Our non-performing assets totaled $7.8 million or 1.5% of total assets at December 31, 2012, and $6.6 million, or 1.3% of total assets at June 30, 2012.

At December 31, 2012, the Association was categorized as "well capitalized" under regulatory capital requirements.

Our net income for the six months ended December 31, 2012 was $1.8 million, compared to a net loss of $351,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2011. The increase in net income was due to a decrease in noninterest expense, which occurred because the six months ended December 31, 2011 included a $3.6 million contribution to our newly established charitable foundation, an increase in noninterest income and a decrease in interest expense, partially offset by a decrease in interest income and an increase in the provision for loan losses.

Management's discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations at and for three and six months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 is intended to assist in understanding the financial condition and results of operations of the Association. The information contained in this section should be read in conjunction with the unaudited financial statements and the notes thereto, appearing in Part I, Item 1 of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

Critical Accounting Policies

We define critical accounting policies as those policies that require management to exercise significant judgment or discretion or make significant assumptions that have, or could have, a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets or on income. We consider the following to be our critical accounting policies.

Allowance for Loan Losses. We believe that the allowance for loan losses and related provision for loan losses are particularly susceptible to change in the near term, due to changes in credit quality which are evidenced by trends in charge-offs and in the volume and severity of past due loans. In addition, our portfolio is comprised of a substantial amount of commercial real estate loans which generally have greater credit risk than one-to four-family residential mortgage and consumer loans because these loans generally have larger principal balances and are non-homogenous.

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level to provide for probable credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date. Based on our estimate of the level of allowance for loan losses required, we record a provision for loan losses as a charge to earnings to maintain the allowance for loan losses at an appropriate level. The estimate of our credit losses is applied to two general categories of loans:

• loans that we evaluate individually for impairment under ASC 310-10, "Receivables;" and

• groups of loans with similar risk characteristics that we evaluate collectively for impairment under ASC 450-20, "Loss Contingencies."

The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and reflects consideration of all significant factors that affect the collectability of the loan portfolio. The factors used to evaluate the collectability of the loan portfolio include, but are not limited to, current economic conditions, our historical loss experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, the financial strength of the borrower, and the estimated value of any underlying collateral. This evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are subject to significant revision as more information becomes available. Actual loan losses may be significantly more than the allowance for loan losses we have established which could have a material negative effect on our financial results.

Income Tax Accounting. The provision for income taxes is based upon income in our consolidated financial statements, rather than amounts reported on our income tax return. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on our deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized as income or expense in the period that includes the enactment date. Under U.S. GAAP, a valuation allowance is required to be recognized if it is more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The determination as to whether we will be able to realize the deferred tax assets is highly subjective and dependent upon judgment concerning our evaluation of both positive and negative evidence, our forecasts of future income, applicable tax planning strategies, and assessments of current and future economic and business conditions. Positive evidence includes the existence of taxes paid in available carryback years as well as the probability that taxable income will be generated in future periods, while negative evidence includes any cumulative losses in the current year and prior two years and general business and economic trends. Any reduction in estimated future taxable income may require us to record a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets. Any required valuation allowance would result in additional income tax expense in the period and could have a significant impact on our future earnings. Positions taken in our tax returns may be subject to challenge by the taxing authorities upon examination. The benefit of an uncertain tax position is initially recognized in the financial statements only when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions are both initially and subsequently measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement with the tax authority, assuming full knowledge of the position and all relevant facts. Differences between our position and the position of tax authorities could result in a reduction of a tax benefit or an increase to a tax liability, which could adversely affect our future income tax expense.

There are no material changes to the critical accounting policies disclosed in IF Bancorp, Inc.'s Form 10-K for fiscal year ended June 30, 2012, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Securities Act Rule 424(b)(3) on September 18, 2012.

Comparison of Financial Condition at December 31, 2012 and June 30, 2012

Total assets increased $9.4 million, or 1.8%, to $520.7 million at December 31, 2012 from $511.3 million at June 30, 2012. The increase was primarily due to a $25.9 million increase in net loans and a $3.2 million increase in cash and cash equivalents, partially offset by a decrease of $20.4 million in investment securities.

Net loans receivable, including loans held for sale, increased by $25.9 million, or 10.0%, to $284.8 million at December 31, 2012 from $258.9 million at June 30, 2012. The increase in net loans receivable during this period was due primarily to a $25.7 million, or 78.1%, increase in commercial real estate loans and an $11.3 million or 29.4% increase in multi-family loans. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $4.7 million, or 55.5% in construction loans, a decrease of $2.7 million, or 20.1% in consumer loans, a decrease of $2.1 million, or 1.5% in one- to four-family loans, a decrease of $1.4 million, or 10.3% in commercial business loans, and a decrease of $451,000, or 5.0% in home equity lines of credit.

Investment securities, consisting entirely of securities available for sale, decreased $20.4 million, or 9.1%, to $202.9 million at December 31, 2012 from $223.3 million at June 30, 2012. This decrease was a result of security sales to reposition our investment portfolio and to fund loans. Purchased investment securities, consisted primarily of agency debt obligations with terms of four to seven years and fixed-rate mortgage backed securities with terms of 15 years, all of which are held as available for sale. We had no securities held to maturity at December 31, 2012 or June 30, 2012.

As of December 31, 2012, Federal Home Loan Bank stock increased $900,000 to $5.1 million, interest receivable decreased $177,000 to $1.7 million, foreclosed assets held for sale (other than real estate owned) decreased $176,000 to $1.1 million and other assets decreased $213,000 to $975,000 from the respective balances as of June 30, 2012. Federal Home Loan Bank stock increased due to stock purchases to support fluctuations in Federal Home Loan Bank advances as we repositioned our investment portfolio. The decrease in interest receivable is primarily due to a decrease in interest receivable on investments, the decrease in other real estate owned is due to the sale of other real estate owned, and the decrease in other assets resulted from a decrease in prepaid insurance due to the timing of multi-year premiums and also from a decrease in accounts receivable general due to the receipt of a receivable that was outstanding as of June 30, 2012.

At December 31, 2012, our investment in bank-owned life insurance was $7.6 million, an increase of $133,000 from $7.5 million at June 30, 2012. We invest in bank-owned life insurance to provide us with a funding source for our benefit plan obligations. Bank-owned life insurance also generally provides us noninterest income that is non-taxable. Federal regulations generally limit our investment in bank-owned life insurance to 25% of our Tier 1 capital plus our allowance for loan losses, which totaled $15.4 million at December 31, 2012.

Deposits increased $10.1 million, or 2.9%, to $354.6 million at December 31, 2012 from $344.5 million at June 30, 2012. Certificates of deposit, excluding brokered certificates of deposit, decreased $3.6 million, or 1.9%, to $185.0 million, savings, NOW, and money market accounts decreased $8.2 million, or 6.2%, to $125.5 million, brokered certificates of deposit increased $10.1 million, or 88.1%, to $21.6 million, and noninterest bearing demand accounts increased $11.9 million, or 111.8%, to $22.5 million. Borrowings, which consisted solely of advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago, increased $500,000, or 0.7%, to $75.5 million at December 31, 2012 from $75.0 million at June 30, 2012. We increased our borrowings slightly to fund loans, replace deposit outflow, and purchase investment securities as we reposition our portfolio in anticipation of securities being called over the next several months. Current interest rates on borrowings are more favorable than rates paid on deposits.

Other liabilities decreased $522,000, or 27.7%, to $1.4 million at December 31, 2012 from $1.9 million on June 30, 2012. The decrease was attributable to a general decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses payable due to timing of payments.

Total equity decreased $799,000, or 0.9%, to $85.9 million at December 31, 2012 from $86.6 million at June 30, 2012. Equity decreased due to a decrease in unrealized gains on securities available for sale of $377,000 and the repurchase of 176,552 shares of common stock at an aggregate cost of approximately $2.4 million, partially offset by a net income of $1.8 million. The decrease in unrealized gains on securities available for sale was due to a $20.4 million decrease in our available-for-sale securities (which included a $507,000 gain on sale of securities included in income). A stock repurchase program was adopted during the quarter ended September 30, 2012, which authorized the company to repurchase up to 240,563 shares of its common stock, or approximately 5% of the current outstanding shares. As of December 31, 2012, 176,552 shares were repurchased, leaving the maximum number of shares that may yet be purchased under the plan at 64,011.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Six Months Ended December 31, 2012 and 2011

General. Net income increased $2.2 million to $1.8 million net income for the six months ended December 31, 2012 from a $351,000 net loss for the six months ended December 31, 2011. The increase was primarily due to a decrease in noninterest expense, which occurred because the six months ended December 31, 2011 included a $3.6 million contribution to our newly established charitable foundation, an increase in noninterest income and a decrease in interest expense, partially offset by a decrease in interest and dividend income and an increase in the provision for loan losses.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased by $160,000, or 2.3%, to $7.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2012 from $7.0 million for the six months ended December 31, 2011. The increase was due to a decrease of $433,000 in interest expense, partially offset by a decrease of $273,000 in interest and dividend income. The increase in net interest income was primarily the result of lower rates paid on certificates of deposit. We had a $35.7 million, or 7.8% increase in the average balance of interest earning assets, partially offset by a $29.0 million, or 7.0% increase in average balance of interest bearing liabilities. We also had a decrease in our interest rate spread by 12 basis points to 2.77% for the six months ended December 31, 2012 compared to 2.89% for the six months ended December 31, 2011, and a decrease in our net interest margin by 15 basis points to 2.90% for the six months ended December 31, 2012 compared to 3.05% for the six months ended December 31, 2011.

Interest and Dividend Income. Interest and dividend income decreased $273,000, or 3.0%, to $8.7 million for the six months ended December 31, 2012 from $9.0 million for the six months ended December 31, 2011. The decrease in interest income was primarily due to decreases in interest income on loans and securities. A decrease of $54,000 in interest on loans, which resulted from a 51 basis point, or 10.2% decrease in the average yield on loans from 4.99% to 4.48%, was partially offset by a $25.2 million, or 10.3% increase in the average balance of loans to $269.8 million for the six months ended December 31, 2012, from $244.6 million for the six months ended December 31, 2011. Interest on securities decreased $213,000, or 7.4%, as a $10.3 million increase in the average balance of securities to $212.2 at December 31, 2012 was more than offset by a 34 basis point decrease in the average yield on securities from 2.84% to 2.50%. The decrease in the average yield on loans and securities reflected a reduction in the current interest rates charged on loans originated and on securities purchased during the period versus the average rates on loans and securities in the portfolio in the prior period.

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $433,000, or 21.4%, to $1.6 million for the six months ended December 31, 2012 from $2.0 million for the six months ended December 31, 2011. The decrease was primarily due to lower market interest rates during the period.

Interest expense on interest-bearing deposits decreased by $430,000, or 27.5%, to $1.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2012 from $1.6 million for the six months ended December 31, 2011. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease of 27 basis points in the average cost of interest-bearing deposits to 0.69% for the six months ended December 31, 2012 from 0.96% for the six months ended December 31, 2011. We experienced decreases in the average cost across all categories of interest-bearing deposits for the six months ended December 31, 2012, reflecting lower market interest rates as compared to the prior period. The decrease in average cost was partially offset by a $5.8 million, or 1.8%, increase in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits to $330.4 million for the six months ended December 31, 2012 from $324.6 million for the six months ended December 31, 2011.

Interest expense on borrowings decreased $3,000, or 0.7%, to $450,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2012 from $453,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2011. This decrease was due a 41 basis point decrease in the average cost of such borrowings to 1.07% for the six months ended December 31, 2012 from 1.48% for the six months ended December 31, 2011, largely offset by an increase in the average balance of borrowings to $84.4 million for the six months ended December 31, 2012 from $61.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2011.

Provision for Loan Losses. We establish provisions for loan losses, which are charged to operations in order to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level we consider necessary to absorb probable credit losses inherent in our loan portfolio. We recorded a provision for loan losses of $507,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2012, compared to a provision for loan losses of $334,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2011. The allowance for loan losses was $4.0 million, or 1.37% of total loans, at December 31, 2012, compared to $3.1 million, or 1.23% of total loans, at December 31, 2011 and $3.5 million, or 1.34% of total loans, at June 30, 2012. Non-performing loans increased during the six month period ended December 31, 2012 mainly due to the addition of three relationships: one in the amount of $400,000 where the borrower has expressed financial difficulty but all loans were current at December 31, 2012; and, two home loans totaling $420,000 entering the foreclosure process. Although the loans were substantially collateralized, the first relationship accounted for an addition to the reserves of $68,000 while one of the two home loan relationships required $153,000 in additional reserves. During the six months ended December 31, 2012, a net charge-off of $73,000 was recorded while during the six months ended December 31, 2011, a net charge-off of $375,000 was recorded.

The following table sets forth information regarding the allowance for loan losses and nonperforming assets at the dates indicated:

                                              Six Months Ended December 31,          Year Ended June 30,

Allowance to non-performing loans                                      59.44 %                      65.95 %

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income increased $629,000, or 34.3%, to $2.5 million for the six months ended December 31, 2012 compared to $1.8 million for the six months ended December 31, 2011. The increase was primarily due to increases in net realized gains on the sale of securities available for sale and mortgage banking income, partially offset by a decrease in customer service fees. For the six months ended December 31, 2012, net realized gains on the sale of securities available for sale increased from $290,000 to $568,000 and mortgage banking income increased from $81,000 to $323,000, while customer service fees decreased from $332,000 to $288,000. The increase in net realized gains on the sale of available-for-sale securities was due to the rate environment in the six months ended December 31, 2012, that allowed for profits to be gained when repositioning the investment portfolio that were not available in the six months ended December 31, 2011. The increase in mortgage banking income was primarily due to an increase in mortgage servicing rights as a result of a higher balance of loans sold at December 31, 2012 compared to December 31, 2011. The decrease in customer service fees reflects fewer service fees and charges collected on deposit accounts.

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense decreased $2.9 million, or 31.9%, to $6.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2012 from $9.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2011. The largest components of this decrease were charitable contributions, which decreased $3.6 million, or 99.9%, and audit and examinations, which decreased $49,000, or 22.2%. The decrease in charitable contributions was a result of a donation of $3.6 million in stock and cash to fund our charitable foundation in the six months ended December 31, 2011. The decrease in audit and examinations was the result of increased costs associated with transitioning to a public company in the six months ended December 31, 2011. These decreases were partially offset by increases in compensation and benefits of $259,000, equipment expense of $134,000, and professional services of $41,000. Increased staffing, normal salary increases and increases in payroll taxes primarily accounted for the increase in compensation and benefits expense. Increases in equipment expense were due to routine technology upgrades and expenses incurred to move our information technology department to a more secure and efficient location, while increases in professional services were a result of increased costs associated with operating as a public company.

Income Tax Expense (Benefit). We recorded a provision for income tax of $1.0 million for the six months ended December 31, 2012, compared to a benefit for income tax of ($339,000) for the six months ended December 31, 2011, reflecting effective tax rates of 35.3% and (49.1%), respectively. The increased tax rate for the six months ended December 31, 2012, was a result of a lower taxable income in the six months ended December 31, 2011, due to a contribution of $3.6 million to establish our charitable foundation, Iroquois Federal Foundation, Inc.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2012 and 2011

General. Net income decreased $315,000 to $709,000 net income for the three months ended December 31, 2012 from a $1.0 million net income for the three months ended December 31, 2011. The decrease was primarily due to increases in the provision for loan losses and noninterest expense, and a decrease in . . .
