HOME BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Home Bancorp, Inc. (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, comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity 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 three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2015 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, 2014.

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, comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ 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 shareholders’ equity or net income.

Louisiana Business Corporation Act

Effective January 1, 2015, companies incorporated under Louisiana law became subject to the Louisiana Business Corporation Act. Provisions of the Louisiana Business Corporation Act eliminate the concept of treasury stock and provide that shares reacquired by a company are to be treated as authorized unissued shares. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America state that accounting for treasury stock shall conform to state law. The Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements reflect this change. The cost of shares purchased by the Company has been allocated to common stock, additional paid-in capital and retained earnings.

2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements – Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern.” ASU 2014-15 requires companies to evaluate whether there are conditions and events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the financial statements are issued. Management will be required to make the evaluation and disclose for both annual and interim reporting periods. The ASU is effective for interim and annual periods after December 15, 2016. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, “Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis,” which eliminates the deferral of certain investments in variable interest entities. ASU 2015-02 will allow companies with interests in certain investment funds to follow preceding consolidation guidance and make changes to the variable interest model and the voting model. The ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, “Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments”. The guidance eliminates the requirement that an acquirer in a business combination account for measurement-period adjustments retrospectively. The ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

3. Acquisition Activity

On September 15, 2015, the Company completed the acquisition of Louisiana Bancorp, Inc. (“Louisiana Bancorp”), the former holding company of Bank of New Orleans (“BNO”) of Metairie, Louisiana. Shareholders of Louisiana Bancorp received $24.25 per share in cash, resulting in aggregate transaction consideration of $70,021,000.

The acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations. In accordance with ASC 805, the Company recorded goodwill totaling $10,668,000 from the acquisition as a result of consideration transferred over net assets acquired. Both the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their respective acquisition date fair values. Identifiable intangible assets, consisting of core deposit intangible assets, were recorded at fair value.

The fair value estimates of Louisiana Bancorp’s assets and liabilities reflected below are preliminary and subject to refinement as additional information become available. Under current accounting principles, the Company’s estimates of fair values may be adjusted for a period of up to one year from the acquisition date.

The assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as well as the adjustments to record the assets and liabilities at fair value, are presented in the following table as of September 15, 2015.

(a)	The adjustment represents the market value adjustments on investment securities based on their interest rate risk and credit risk.

(b)	The adjustment to reflect the estimated fair value of loans includes:

•

Adjustment of $2.4 million to reflect the removal of Louisiana Bancorp’s allowance for loan losses in accordance with ASC 805.

•

Adjustment of ($4.0 million) for all loans determined not to be within the scope of ASC 310-30. In determining the fair value of the loans which are not within the scope of ASC 310-30, the acquired loan portfolio was evaluated based on risk characteristics and other credit and market criteria to determine a credit quality adjustment to the fair value of the loans acquired. The acquired loan balance was reduced by the aggregate amount of the credit quality adjustment in determining the fair value of the loans.

(c)	The adjustment represents the write down of the book value of repossessed assets to their estimated fair value less estimated costs to sell.

(d)	The adjustment represents the estimated adjustment of office properties and equipment to their estimated fair values.

(e)	The adjustment represents the estimated value of the core deposit base. The core deposit asset was recorded as an identifiable intangible asset and will be amortized on an accelerated basis over the estimated life of the deposit base of 15 years.

(f)	The adjustment is to record the deferred tax asset on the transaction and the estimated fair value of other assets.

(g)	The adjustment represents the estimated fair value of certificates of deposit acquired based on current interest rates for similar instruments. The adjustment will be recognized using a level yield amortization method based on maturities of the deposit liabilities.

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 performs 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. When the Company determines that a security is deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired, an impairment loss is recognized.

As of September 30, 2015, 30 of the Company’s debt securities had unrealized losses totaling 1.3% of the individual securities’ amortized cost basis and 0.2% of the Company’s total amortized cost basis of the investment securities portfolio. At such date, 14 of the 30 securities had been in a continuous loss position for over 12 months. The 14 securities had an aggregate amortized cost basis of $17.5 million and unrealized loss of $328,000 at September 30, 2015. Management has the intent and ability to hold these debt securities until maturity, or until anticipated recovery; hence, no declines in these 14 securities were deemed to be other-than-temporary.

As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had $96,519,000 and $76,491,000, respectively, of securities pledged to secure public deposits. As of December 31, 2014, the Company had $21,211,000 of securities pledged to securities sold under repurchase agreements. The securities pledged for securities sold under repurchase agreements were released in July 2015 once the agreements matured.

5. Earnings Per Share

Earnings per common share were computed based on the following:

Diluted earnings per common share	$	0.41	$	0.41	$	1.23	$	1.02

Options on 52,258 and 9,500 shares of common stock were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014, respectively, because the effect of these shares was anti-dilutive. Options on 39,177 and 34,833 shares of common stock were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014, respectively, because the effect of these shares was anti-dilutive.

6. Credit Quality and Allowance for Loan Losses

The following briefly describes the distinction between originated and acquired loans and certain significant accounting policies relevant to each category.

Originated Loans

Loans originated for investment are reported at the principal balance outstanding net of unearned income. Interest on loans and accretion of unearned income are computed in a manner that approximates a level yield on recorded principal. Interest on loans is recorded as income is earned. The accrual of interest on an originated loan is discontinued when it is probable the borrower will not be able to meet payment obligations as they become due. The Company maintains an allowance for loan losses on originated loans that represents management’s estimate of probable losses incurred in this portfolio category.

Acquired Loans

Loans that were acquired as a result of our acquisitions of certain assets and liabilities of Statewide Bank (“Statewide”) of Covington, Louisiana, on March 12, 2010, GS Financial Corp. (“GSFC”), the former holding company of Guaranty Savings Bank of Metairie, Louisiana, on July 15, 2011, Britton & Koontz Capital Corporation (“Britton & Koontz”), the former holding company of Britton & Koontz Bank, N.A. (“Britton & Koontz Bank”) of Natchez, Mississippi on February 14, 2014, and Louisiana Bancorp, Inc. (“Louisiana Bancorp”), the former holding company of Bank of New Orleans (“BNO”) of Metairie, Louisiana on September 15, 2015 are referred to as “Acquired Loans.”

Acquired Loans were recorded at estimated fair value at the acquisition date with no carryover of the related allowance for loan losses. The acquired loans were segregated between those considered to be performing (“acquired performing”) and those with evidence of credit deterioration (“acquired impaired”), and then further segregated into loan pools designed to facilitate the estimation of expected cash flows. The fair value estimate for each pool of acquired performing and acquired impaired loans was based on the estimate of expected cash flows, both principal and interest, from that pool, discounted at prevailing market interest rates.

The difference between the fair value of an acquired performing loan pool and the contractual amounts due at the acquisition date (the “fair value discount”) is accreted into income over the estimated life of the pool. Management estimates an allowance for loan losses for acquired performing loans using a methodology similar to that used for originated loans. The allowance determined for each loan pool is compared to the remaining fair value discount for that pool. If the allowance amount calculated under the Company’s methodology is greater than the Company’s remaining discount, the additional amount called for is added to the reported allowance through a provision for loan losses. If the allowance amount calculated under the Company’s methodology is less than the Company’s recorded discount, no additional allowance or provision is recognized. Actual losses first reduce any remaining nonaccretable discount for the loan pool. Once the nonaccretable discount is fully depleted, losses are applied against the allowance established for that pool. Acquired performing loans are placed on nonaccrual status and considered and reported as nonperforming or past due using the same criteria applied to the originated portfolio.

The excess of cash flows expected to be collected from an acquired impaired loan pool over the pool’s estimated fair value at acquisition is referred to as the accretable yield and is recognized in interest income using an effective yield method over the remaining life of the pool. Each pool of acquired impaired loans is accounted for as a single asset with a single composite interest rate and an aggregate expectation of cash flows.

Management recasts the estimate of cash flows expected to be collected on each acquired impaired loan pool periodically. If the present value of expected cash flows for a pool is less than its carrying value, an impairment is recognized by an increase in the allowance for loan losses and a charge to the provision for loan losses. If the present value of expected cash flows for a pool is greater than its carrying value, any previously established allowance for loan losses is reversed and any remaining difference increases the accretable yield which will be taken into interest income over the remaining life of the loan pool. Acquired impaired loans are generally not subject to individual evaluation for impairment and are not reported with impaired loans, even if they would otherwise qualify for such treatment.

The allowance for loan losses and recorded investment in loans as of the dates indicated are as follows.

The above classifications follow regulatory guidelines and can generally be described as follows:

•

Pass loans are of satisfactory quality.

•

Special mention loans have an existing weakness that could cause future impairment, including the deterioration of financial ratios, past due status, questionable management capabilities and possible reduction in the collateral values.

•

Substandard loans have an existing specific and well-defined weakness that may include poor liquidity and deterioration of financial performance. Such loans may be past due and related deposit accounts experiencing overdrafts. Immediate corrective action is necessary.

•

Doubtful loans have specific weaknesses that are severe enough to 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 delinquencies and loan-to-value ratios. These classifications were the most current available as of the dates indicated and were generally updated within the quarter.

Age analysis of past due loans as of the dates indicated are as follows.

⁽¹⁾	Nonaccrual acquired loans accounted for under ASC 310-30 totaled $5.9 million and $15.1 million as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

As of September 30, 2015, the Company had no outstanding commitments to lend additional funds to any customer whose loan was classified as impaired.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

During the course of its lending operations, the Company periodically grants concessions to its customers in an attempt to protect as much of its investment as possible and to minimize risk of loss. These concessions may include restructuring the terms of a customer loan to alleviate the burden of the customer’s near-term cash requirements. The Company adopted the provisions of ASU No. 2011-02, Receivables (Topic 310): A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring is a Troubled Debt Restructuring, which provides clarification on the determination of whether loan restructurings are considered troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”). In accordance with the ASU, in order to be considered a TDR, the Company must conclude that the restructuring of a loan to a borrower who is experiencing financial difficulties constitutes a “concession”. The Company defines a concession as a modification of existing terms granted to a borrower for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower’s financial difficulties that the Company would otherwise not consider. The concession is either granted through an agreement with the customer or is imposed by a court or by a law. Concessions include modifying original loan terms to reduce or defer cash payments required as part of the loan agreement, including but not limited to:

•

a reduction of the stated interest rate for the remaining original life of the debt,

•

an extension of the maturity date or dates at an interest rate lower than the current market rate for new debt with similar risk characteristics,

•

a reduction of the face amount or maturity amount of the debt, or

•

a reduction of accrued interest receivable on the debt.

In its determination of whether the customer is experiencing financial difficulties, the Company considers numerous indicators, including, but not limited to:

•

whether the customer is currently in default on its existing loan, or is in an economic position where it is probable the customer will be in default on its loan in the foreseeable future without a modification,

•

whether the customer has declared or is in the process of declaring bankruptcy,

•

whether there is substantial doubt about the customer’s ability to continue as a going concern,

•

whether, based on its projections of the customer’s current capabilities, the Company believes the customer’s future cash flows will be insufficient to service the debt, including interest, in accordance with the contractual terms of the existing agreement for the foreseeable future, and

•

whether, without modification, the customer cannot obtain sufficient funds from other sources at an effective interest rate equal to the current market rate for similar debt for a non-troubled debtor.

If the Company concludes that both a concession has been granted and the concession was granted to a customer experiencing financial difficulties, the Company identifies the loan as a TDR. For purposes of the determination of an allowance for loan losses on TDRs, such loans are reviewed for specific impairment in accordance with the Company’s allowance for loan loss methodology. If it is determined that losses are probable on such TDRs, either because of delinquency or other credit quality indicators, the Company specifically allocates a portion of the allowance for loan losses to these loans.

Information about the Company’s TDRs is presented in the following tables.

None of the above referenced TDRs defaulted subsequent to the restructuring through the date the financial statements were issued. The Company restructured, as a TDR, loans totaling $3.3 million during the third quarter of 2015. $3.2 million of the loans were related to one energy industry relationship.

7. Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures

The Company utilizes fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. The Company groups assets and liabilities measured or disclosed at fair value in three levels as required by 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 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 or similar 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’s or liability’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level that is significant to the fair value measurement. Management reviews and updates the fair value hierarchy classifications of the Company’s assets and liabilities quarterly.

Recurring Basis

Investment Securities Available for Sale

Fair values of investment securities available for sale are primarily measured using information from a third-party pricing service. This pricing service provides pricing information by utilizing pricing models supported with market data information. Standard inputs include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, benchmark securities bids, offers and other reference data from market research publications. If quoted prices are available in an active market, investment securities are classified as Level 1 measurements. If quoted prices are not available in an active market, fair values are estimated primarily by the use of pricing models. Level 2 investment securities are primarily comprised of mortgage-backed securities issued by government agencies and U.S. government-sponsored enterprises. In certain cases, where there is limited or less transparent information provided by the Company’s third-party pricing service, fair value is 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.

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 September 30, 2015, 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 for fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

The Company did not record any liabilities at fair value for which measurement of the fair value was made on a recurring basis.

Nonrecurring Basis

In accordance with the provisions of ASC 310, Receivables, the Company records loans considered impaired at 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. For non-collateral-dependent loans, fair value is measured by present valuing expected future cash flows. Impaired loans are classified as Level 3 assets when measured using appraisals from external parties of the collateral less any prior liens and when 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 3 assets.

Acquired loans and the FDIC loss sharing receivable are measured on a nonrecurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3).

The Company has segregated all financial assets 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.

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, 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.

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial statements. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

Fair value estimates included herein are based on existing on- and off-balance-sheet financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future business and the fair value of assets and liabilities that are not required to be recorded or disclosed at fair value like premises and equipment. In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in the estimates.

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.

The carrying value of mortgage loans held for sale approximates their fair value.

The fair value of 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 cash surrender value of bank-owned life insurance (“BOLI”) approximates its fair value.

The fair value of customer deposits, excluding certificates of deposit, 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 deposits of similar remaining maturities.

The fair value of short-term FHLB advances is the amount payable at maturity. The fair value of long-term FHLB advances is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the rates currently offered for advances of similar maturities.

The carrying value of the securities sold under repurchase agreement is its fair value.

The following table presents estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments as of the dates indicated.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

The Company’s financial condition and income as of September 30, 2015 were impacted by the acquisition of Louisiana Bancorp, Inc. (“Louisiana Bancorp”), the holding company for Bank of New Orleans (“BNO”) of Metairie, Louisiana, on September 15, 2015. As a result of the acquisition, the Company acquired assets of $350.6 million, which included loans of $280.4 million, and $291.2 million in deposits and other liabilities. Shareholders of Louisiana Bancorp received $24.25 per share in cash, resulting in an aggregate transaction consideration of $70.0 million. The Company incurred $593,000 in pre-tax merger-related expenses during the third quarter of 2015. See Note 3 to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information concerning the acquisition.

During the third quarter of 2015, the Company earned $2.9 million, an increase of $23,000, or 0.8%, compared to the third quarter of 2014. Diluted earnings per share for the third quarter of 2015 were $0.41, unchanged compared to the third quarter of 2014. The three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 included $527,000 and $759,000, respectively, net of taxes related to the acquisition of Louisiana Bancorp. The nine months ended September 30, 2014 included $1.5 million of net of taxes related to the acquisition of Britton & Koontz Capital Corporation (“Britton & Koontz”) in February 2014. Excluding merger-related expenses, net income for the third quarter of 2015 increased 18.9% compared to the third quarter of 2014 (see the “Non-GAAP Reconciliation” on page 29). Excluding merger-related expenses, diluted earnings per share for the third quarter of 2015 increased 19.5% compared to the third quarter of 2014.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company earned $8.6 million, an increase of $1.5 million, or 21.6%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 were $1.23, an increase of $0.21, or 20.6%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Excluding merger-related expenses, net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 increased 9.1% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Excluding merger-related expenses, diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 increased 8.1% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Key components of the Company’s performance during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 include:

•

Assets totaled $1.6 billion as of September 30, 2015, up $336.5 million, or 27.5%, from December 31, 2014. The increase was primarily the result of the acquisition of Louisiana Bancorp, which had assets of $350.6 million, on a fair value basis, as of the date of acquisition.

•

Investment securities totaled $205.2 million as of September 30, 2015, an increase of $18.7 million, or 10.0%, from December 31, 2014. The increase was driven by $36.4 million in securities acquired from Louisiana Bancorp as of the date of acquisition.

•

Loans as of September 30, 2015 were $1.2 billion, an increase of $298.7 million, or 32.9%, from December 31, 2014. The increase in loans was primarily driven by $280.4 million in loans acquired from Louisiana Bancorp as of the date of acquisition.

•

Deposits as of September 30, 2015 were $1.2 billion, an increase of $228.1 million, or 23.0%, from December 31, 2014. The acquisition of Louisiana Bancorp added $208.7 million in deposits at acquisition date. Core deposits (i.e., checking, savings, and money market accounts) totaled $926.4 million as of September 30, 2015, an increase of $153.6 million, or 19.9%, from December 31, 2014. The increase in core deposits was primarily driven by $118.1 million in core deposits acquired from Louisiana Bancorp at acquisition date.

•

Interest income increased $357,000, or 2.5%, in the third quarter of 2015, compared to the third quarter of 2014. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, interest income increased $744,000, or 1.8%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Interest income has remained relatively stable primarily because the increase in average loan volume has offset the decrease in the average yield earned on loans.

•

Interest expense increased $39,000, or 4.5%, from the third quarter of 2015 compared to the third quarter of 2014. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, interest expense increased $81,000, or 3.3%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities changed slightly while the mix in volume of interest bearing liabilities shifted for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the prior comparable period.

•

The provision for loan losses totaled $569,000 for the third quarter of 2015, a decrease of $323,000, or 36.2%, compared to the third quarter of 2014. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the provision for loan losses decreased $447,000, or 24.2%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014. At September 30, 2015, the Company’s ratio of allowance for loan losses to total loans was 0.74%, compared to 0.82% at September 30, 2014. Excluding acquired loans, the ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans was 1.12% at September 30, 2015, compared to 1.01% at September 30, 2014, respectively. Net loan charge-offs for the first nine months of 2015 were $229,000 compared to net charge-offs of $1.3 million during the first nine months of 2014.

•

Noninterest income for the third quarter of 2015 increased $37,000, or 1.7%, compared to the third quarter of 2014, due primarily to increased gains on the sale of loans, which was partially offset by decreases in other income. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, noninterest income increased $246,000, or 4.1%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The increase resulted primarily from increases in bank card fees and gains on the sale of loans, which were partially offset by decreases in other income.

•

Noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2015 increased $554,000, or 5.6%, compared to the third quarter of 2014. Noninterest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 decreased 3.6% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Noninterest expense includes merger-related expenses related to the acquisition of Louisiana Bancorp of $593,000 and $848,000 for the three and nine months ended September, 30, 2015, respectively, and $2.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 due to the Britton & Koontz acquisition. Excluding merger-related expenses, noninterest expense decreased $35,000, or 0.4%, for the third quarter of 2015 compared to the third quarter of 2014. Excluding merger-related expenses, noninterest expense increased $316,000, or 1.1%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

The discussion and analysis contains financial information prepared other than in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures in their analysis of the Company’s performance. Management believes that the non-GAAP information provides useful data in understanding the Company’s operations and in comparing the Company’s results of operation to peers. This non-GAAP information should be considered in addition to the Company’s financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP, and is not a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. Reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP disclosures is included in the table below.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Loans, Asset Quality and Allowance for Loan Losses

Loans – Loans outstanding as of September 30, 2015 were $1.2 billion, an increase of $298.7 million, or 32.9%, from December 31, 2014. Growth in the loan portfolio was primarily driven by the acquisition of Louisiana Bancorp, which added $280.4 million in loans at acquisition date. During the first nine months of 2015, organic loan growth was related primarily to construction and land loans (up $12.2 million) and commercial and industrial loans (up $10.5 million).

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, we proactively monitor loans and collection and workout processes of delinquent or problem loans. When a borrower fails to make a scheduled payment, we attempt to cure the deficiency by making personal contact with the borrower. Initial contacts are generally made within 10 days after the date 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. All 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 Bank 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 his/her 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.

Repossessed assets which are acquired as a result of foreclosure are classified as repossessed assets until sold. Third party property valuations are obtained at the time the asset is repossessed and periodically until the property is liquidated. Repossessed assets are recorded at the lesser of the balance of the loan or fair value less estimated selling costs, at the date acquired or upon receiving new property valuations. 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 lender 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 loans, residential real estate loans and consumer loans. These loans are evaluated as a group because they have similar characteristics and performance experience. Larger (i.e., loans with balances of $100,000 or greater) commercial real estate loans, multi-family residential loans, construction and land loans and commercial and industrial loans are individually evaluated for impairment. Third party property valuations are obtained at the time of origination for real estate secured loans. When a determination is made that a loan has deteriorated to the point of becoming a problem loan, updated valuations may be ordered to help determine if there is impairment, which may lead to a recommendation for partial charge off or appropriate allowance allocation. Property valuations are ordered through, and are reviewed by, an appraisal officer. The Company typically orders an “as is” valuation for collateral property if the loan is in a criticized loan classification. The Board of Directors is provided with monthly reports on impaired loans. As of September 30, 2015 and

December 31, 2014, loans individually evaluated for impairment, excluding acquired loans, amounted to $970,000 and $2.0 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, substandard loans, excluding acquired loans, amounted to $8.0 million and $7.2 million, respectively. The amount of the allowance for loan losses allocated to impaired or substandard loans originated by Home Bank totaled $119,000 as of September 30, 2015 and $140,000 as of December 31, 2014. There were no assets classified as doubtful or loss as of September 30, 2015 or December 31, 2014.

Federal regulations and our policies require that we utilize an internal asset classification system as a means of reporting problem and potential problem assets. We have 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 bank’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 analyzes all significant factors that affect the collectability of the portfolio in a reasonable manner; and that management establishes 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 as of each reporting date. However, actual losses are dependent upon future events and, as such, further additions to the level of allowance for loan losses may become necessary.

Real estate, or other collateral, which is acquired as a result of foreclosure is classified as a foreclosed asset until sold. Foreclosed assets are recorded at the lesser of the balance of the loan or fair value less estimated selling costs, at the date acquired or upon receiving new property valuations. Holding costs are charged to expense. Gains and losses on the sale of real estate owned are charged to operations, as incurred.

Includes $5.9 million and $15.1 million in acquired loans accounted for under ASC 310-30 at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. Excluding acquired loans and assets, ratios for nonperforming loans to total loans, nonperforming loans to total assets and nonperforming assets to total assets were 0.72%, 0.49% and 0.65%, respectively, at September 30, 2015.

Net loan charge-offs for the third quarter of 2015 were $103,000, compared to net charge-offs of $1.2 million for the third quarter of 2014. Net loan charge-offs for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 were $229,000 compared to $1.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

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. The 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 loans, the value of collateral securing loans, the borrower’s ability to repay and repayment performance, the number of loans requiring heightened management oversight, economic conditions and industry experience. Based on this evaluation, management assigns risk ratings to segments of the loan portfolio. Such risk ratings are periodically reviewed by management and revised as deemed appropriate. These efforts are supplemented by reviews and validations performed by independent loan reviewers. The results of the reviews are reported to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. The establishment of the allowance for loan losses is significantly affected by management judgment. There is likelihood that different amounts would be reported under different conditions or assumptions. Federal 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 acquired loans, the Company follows the reserve standard set forth in ASC 310, Receivables. At acquisition, the Company reviews each loan to determine whether there is 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 considers expected prepayments and estimates the amount and timing of undiscounted expected principal, interest and other cash flows for each loan pool meeting the criteria above, and determines the excess of the loan pool’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 pool’s cash flows expected to be collected over the fair value, is accreted into interest income over the remaining life of the pool (accretable yield). The Company records a discount on these loans at acquisition to record them at their estimated fair values. As a result, acquired loans subject to ASC 310 are excluded from the calculation of the allowance for loan losses as of the acquisition date. See Note 6 to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information concerning our allowance for acquired loans.

Acquired loans were recorded at their acquisition date fair value, which was based on expected cash flows and included an estimation of expected future loan losses. Under current accounting principles, additional losses after

the acquisition date are reflected as a provision to the allowance for loan losses. As September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, $128,000 and $124,000, respectively of our allowance for loan losses was allocated to acquired loans with deteriorated credit quality.

We will continue to monitor and modify our allowance for loan losses as conditions warrant. 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 nine months of 2015.

Excluding acquired loans, the ratio of allowance for loan losses to total loans was 1.12% at September 30, 2015, compared to 1.04% and 1.01% at December 31, 2014 and September 30, 2014, respectively.

Investment Securities

The Company’s investment securities portfolio totaled $205.2 million as of September 30, 2015, an increase of $18.7 million, or 10.0%, from December 31, 2014. The increase resulted primarily from securities acquired from Louisiana Bancorp. The Company acquired $36.4 million at the acquisition date, and subsequently sold $8.1 million of the acquired investments during the third quarter. As of September 30, 2015, the Company had a net unrealized gain on its available for sale investment securities portfolio of $2.9 million, compared to $2.0 million as of December 31, 2014. The investment securities portfolio had a modified duration of 3.5 and 3.8 years at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

Federal Home Loan Bank Advances – Short-term FHLB advances increased $46.0 million, or 148.4% from $31.0 million as of December 31, 2014 to $77.0 million as of September 30, 2015. Long-term FHLB advances totaled $76.4 million as of September 30, 2015, an increase of $59.9 million, or 363.2% compared December 31, 2014. The increase in FHLB advances was primarily due to two factors: 1) the Company utilized FHLB advances in part to fund the acquisition of Louisiana Bancorp and 2) Louisiana Bancorp had $76.0 million in advances at acquisition date.

Shareholders’ Equity – Shareholders’ equity increased $8.1 million, or 5.3%, from $154.1 million as of December 31, 2014 to $162.3 million as of September 30, 2015.

As of September 30, 2015, the Company had regulatory capital that was well in excess of regulatory requirements. The following table details the Company’s actual levels and current regulatory capital requirements as of September 30, 2015.

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 September 30, 2015, cash and cash equivalents totaled $23.5 million. At such date, investment securities available for sale totaled $205.2 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 September 30, 2015, certificates of deposit maturing within the next 12 months totaled $183.9 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 September 30, 2015, the average balance of outstanding FHLB advances was $52.1 million. As of September 30, 2015, the Company had $153.4 million in total outstanding FHLB advances and had $336.3 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. 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 a model which generates 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 September 30, 2015.


Shift in Interest Rates (in bps)	% Change in Projected Net Interest Income
+300		(2.8	)%
+200		(1.6	)
+100		(0.7	)

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 September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.


	Contract Amount
	September 30,		December 31,
*(dollars in thousands)*	2015		2014

Standby letters of credit	$	4,413	$	5,405
Available portion of lines of credit		129,458		107,242
Undisbursed portion of loans in process		60,976		54,200
Commitments to originate loans		113,131		96,506

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.

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

During the third quarter of 2015, the Company earned $2.9 million, an increase of $23,000, or 0.8%, compared to the third quarter of 2014. The third quarter of 2015 includes $593,000 of pre-tax merger-related expenses related to the acquisition of Louisiana Bancorp. Excluding merger-related expenses, net income for the third quarter of 2015 increased 18.9% compared to the third quarter of 2014. Diluted earnings per share for the third quarter of 2015 matched the third quarter of 2014. Excluding merger-related expenses, diluted earnings per share for the third quarter of 2015 increased 19.5% compared to the third quarter of 2014.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company earned $8.6 million, an increase of $1.5 million, or 21.6%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The first nine months of 2015 includes $848,000 of pre-tax merger-related expenses related to the acquisition of Louisiana Bancorp. The first nine months of 2014 includes $2.3 million of pre-tax merger related expenses related to the acquisition of Britton & Koontz. Excluding merger-related expenses, net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 increased 9.1% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 were $1.23, an increase of $0.21, or 20.6%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Excluding merger-related expenses, diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 increased 8.1% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

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 tax-equivalent net interest spread was 4.43% and 4.53% for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014, respectively, and 4.39% and 4.56% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014, respectively. The Company’s tax-equivalent net interest margin, which is net interest income as a percentage of average interest-earning assets, was 4.55% and 4.63% for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014, respectively, and 4.51% and 4.66% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014, respectively. The decrease in the net interest spread and net interest margin in the 2015 periods related primarily to a decrease in the average yield on loans.

Net interest income totaled $13.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015, an increase of $318,000, or 2.4%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2014. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, net interest income totaled $38.8 million, an increase of $663,000, or 1.7%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Interest income increased $357,000, or 2.5%, in the third quarter of 2015, compared to the third quarter of 2014. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, interest income increased $744,000, or 1.8%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Increases in the average balance of loans were partially offset by decreases of 24 basis points and 30 basis points, respectively, in the average yield on loans during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2015 from the prior comparable period.

Interest expense increased $39,000, or 4.5%, from the third quarter of 2015 compared to the third quarter of 2014. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, interest expense increased $81,000, or 3.3%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The increases primarily were the result of higher levels of interest-bearing liabilities.

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, information regarding (i) the total dollar amount of interest income of the Company from interest-earning assets and the resultant average yields; (ii) the total dollar amount of interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities and the resultant average rate; (iii) net interest income; (iv) net interest spread; and (v) net interest margin. Information is based on average monthly balances during the indicated periods. Taxable equivalent (“TE”) yields are calculated using a marginal tax rate of 35%.
