The results of operations for the three month period ended December 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2022.

The Company follows accounting standards set by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”). The FASB sets generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) that we follow to ensure we consistently report our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. References to GAAP issued by the FASB in these footnotes are to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification” or the “ASC”).

In accordance with the subsequent events topic of the ASC, the Company evaluates events and transactions that occur after the balance sheet date for potential recognition in the financial statements. The effect of all subsequent events that provide additional evidence of conditions that existed at the balance sheet date are recognized in the financial statements as of December 31, 2021. In preparing these financial statements, the Company evaluated the events and transactions that occurred through the date these financial statements were issued.

Use of Estimates

In preparing consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the allowance for loan losses.

1. Summary of Accounting Policies (continued)

Securities

Securities are being accounted for in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 320’s, Investments which requires the classification of securities into one of three categories: Trading, Available-for-Sale, or Held-to-Maturity. Management determines the appropriate classification of debt securities at the time of purchase and re-evaluates this classification periodically.

Investments in non-marketable equity securities and debt securities, in which the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity, are classified as held-to-maturity and carried at cost, adjusted for amortization of the related premiums, and accretion of discounts, using the interest method. Investments in debt securities that are not classified as held-to-maturity and marketable equity securities that have readily determinable fair values are classified as either trading or available-for-sale securities.

Securities that are acquired and held principally for the purpose of selling in the near term are classified as trading securities. Investments in securities not classified as trading or held-to-maturity are classified as available-for-sale. Trading account and available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value. Unrealized holding gains and losses on trading securities are included in earnings, while net unrealized holding gains and losses on available-for-sale debt securities are excluded from earnings and reported in other comprehensive income.

The Company held no trading securities as of December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021.

Purchase premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the term of the securities. Securities are periodically reviewed for other-than-temporary impairment. For debt securities, management considers whether the present value of future cash flows expected to be collected are less than the security’s amortized cost basis (the difference defined as the credit loss), the magnitude and duration of the decline, the reasons underlying the decline and the Company’s intent to sell the security or whether it is more likely than not that the Company would be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery in market value, to determine whether the loss in value is other than temporary. If a decline in value is determined to be other than temporary, if the Company does not intend to sell the security, and it is more-likely-than-not that it will not be required to sell the security before recovery of the security’s amortized cost basis, the charge to earnings is limited to the amount of credit loss. Any remaining difference between fair value and amortized cost (the difference defined as the non-credit portion) is recognized in other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes. A decline in value that is considered to be other-than-temporary is recorded as a loss within noninterest income in the consolidated statement of income.

The Bank has invested in Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) stock, and other similar correspondent banks, which is reflected at cost in these financial statements. As a member of the FHLB System, the Bank is required to purchase and maintain stock in an amount determined by the FHLB. The FHLB stock is redeemable at par value at the discretion of the FHLB.

Loans Held-for-Sale

Loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value in the aggregate. Net unrealized losses, if any, are recognized through a valuation allowance by charges to income.

Loans

Loans receivable are stated as unpaid principal balances less allowances for loan losses and unamortized deferred loan fees. Net nonrefundable fees (loan origination fees, commitment fees, discount points) and costs associated with lending activities are being deferred and subsequently amortized into income as an adjustment of yield on the related interest earning assets using the interest method. Interest income on contractual loans receivable is recognized on the accrual method. Unearned discount on property improvement and automobile loans is deferred and amortized on the interest method over the life of the loan.

1. Summary of Accounting Policies (continued)

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to earnings. Loan losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectability of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon management’s periodic review of the collectability of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of the underlying collateral, and prevailing economic conditions. The evaluation is inherently subjective as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information or events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect the scheduled payments of principal and interest when due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. When a loan is impaired, the measurement of such impairment is based upon the present value of future cash flows or fair value of the collateral of the loan. If the fair value of the collateral is less than the recorded investment in the loan, the Bank will recognize the impairment by creating a valuation allowance with a corresponding charge against earnings. A loan is considered a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) if the Company, for economic or legal reasons related to a debtor’s financial difficulties, grants a concession to the debtor that it would not otherwise consider. Concessions granted under a TDR typically involve a temporary or permanent reduction in payments or interest rate or an extension of a loan’s stated maturity date at less than a current market rate of interest. Loans identified as TDRs are designated as impaired.

An allowance is also established for uncollectible interest on loans classified as substandard. The allowance is established by a charge to interest income equal to all interest previously accrued and income is subsequently recognized only to the extent that cash payments are received. When, in management’s judgment, the borrower’s ability to make periodic interest and principal payments is back to normal, the loan is returned to accrual status.

It should be understood that estimates of future loan losses involve an exercise of judgment. While it is possible that in particular periods the Company may sustain losses which are substantial relative to the allowance for loan losses, it is the judgment of management that the allowance for loan losses reflected in the accompanying statements of condition is adequate to absorb known and inherent losses in the existing loan portfolio both probable and reasonable to estimate. All loans greater than 90 days past due are generally placed on nonaccrual status.

Off-Balance Sheet Credit Related Financial Instruments

In the ordinary course of business, the Bank has entered into commitments to extend credit. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded.

Foreclosed Assets

Assets acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure are held-for-sale and are transferred to other real estate owned at the lower of cost or current fair value minus estimated cost to sell as of the date of foreclosure. Cost is defined as the lower of the fair value of the property or the recorded investment in the loan. Subsequent to foreclosure, valuations are periodically performed by management and the assets are carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.

Premises and Equipment

Land is carried at cost. Buildings and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Estimated useful lives are as follows:

Buildings and Improvements		10 - 40 Years
Furniture and Equipment		3 - 10 Years

Bank-Owned Life Insurance

The Company has purchased life insurance contracts on the lives of certain key employees. The Bank is the beneficiary of these policies. These contracts are reported at their cash surrender value, and changes in the cash surrender value are included in non-interest income.

Income Taxes

The Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary file a consolidated Federal income tax return on a fiscal year basis. Each entity pays its pro-rata share of income taxes in accordance with a written tax-sharing agreement.

The Company accounts for income taxes on the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the difference between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes, computed using enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance, if needed, reduces deferred tax assets to the expected amount most likely to be realized. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of a sufficient level of future taxable income and recoverable taxes paid in prior years. Although realization is not assured, management believes it is more likely than not that all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. Current taxes are measured by applying the provisions of enacted tax laws to taxable income to determine the amount of taxes receivable or payable.

The Company follows the provisions of the Income Taxes Topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 740. ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and also provides guidance on various related matters such as derecognition, interest, penalties, and disclosures required. The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.

While the Bank is exempt from Louisiana income tax, it is subject to the Louisiana Ad Valorem Tax, commonly referred to as the Louisiana Shares Tax, which is based on stockholders’ equity and net income.

Earnings per Share

Earnings per share are computed based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The Company’s basic and diluted earnings per share were $ 0.79 and $ 0.73 , respectively, for the six months ended December 31, 2021 compared to basic and diluted earnings per share (split adjusted) of $ 0.82 and $ 0.79 , respectively, for the six months ended December 31, 2020.

Non-Direct Response Advertising

The Company expenses all advertising costs, except for direct-response advertising, as incurred. Non-direct response advertising costs were $ 144,000 and $ 73,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

In the event the Company incurs expense for material direct-response advertising, it will be amortized over the estimated benefit period. Direct-response advertising consists of advertising whose primary purpose is to elicit sales to customers who could be shown to have responded specifically to the advertising and results in probable future benefits. For the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company did no t incur any amount of direct-response advertising.

Stock-Based Compensation

GAAP requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options and share awards, to be recognized as expense in the statement of operations based on their fair values. The amount of compensation is measured at the fair value of the options or share awards when granted, and this cost is expensed over the required service period, which is normally the vesting period of the options or share awards.

Reclassification

Certain financial statement balances included in the prior year consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Comprehensive Income

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains, and losses be included in net income. Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale debt securities, are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the consolidated balance sheets along with net income, they are components of comprehensive income (loss).

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The amendments in this Update replace the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. For public business entities that are SEC filers, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods with those fiscal years. The extent of the impact upon adoption is not known and will depend on the characteristics of the Company’s loan portfolio and economic conditions on that date as well as forecasted conditions thereafter. The Company has established an implementation team and are in the process of engaging third-party consultants who have jointly developed a project plan to provide implementation oversight. The Company is in the process of developing and implementing current expected credit loss model that satisfy the requirements of ASU 2016-13. The future adoption of this ASU may have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued No. ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting and in January of 2021, issued No. ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848). These ASUs are effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The adoption of these ASU’s is not expected to have a significant impact on the financial position or results of operations of the Company. The Company will be replacing the LIBOR index with the 1 Year Treasury-bill rate and all customers will be notified.

2. Securities (continued)

The unrealized losses on the Company’s investment in mortgage-backed securities at December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021 were caused by interest rate changes. The contractual cash flows of these investments are guaranteed by agencies of the U.S. Government. Accordingly, it is expected that these securities would not be settled at a price less than the amortized cost of the Company’s investment. Because the decline in market value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality and because the Company has the ability and intent to hold these investments until a recovery of fair value, which may be maturity, the Company does not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired at December 31, 2021.

The Company’s investment in equity securities consists primarily of FHLB stock and shares of First National Bankers Bankshares, Inc. (“FNBB”). Management monitors its investment portfolio to determine whether any investment securities which have unrealized losses should be considered other than temporarily impaired.

At December 31, 2021, securities with a carrying value of $ 727 ,000 were pledged to secure public deposits, and securities and mortgage loans with a carrying value of $ 174.5 million were pledged to secure FHLB advances.

Credit Quality Indicators

The Company segregates loans into risk categories based on the pertinent information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans according to credit risk. Once a loan has been classified as substandard or identified as special mention, management will conduct a quarterly review to evaluate the level of deterioration, improvement, and impairment, if any, as well as assign the appropriate risk category. The delinquent loan report is monitored monthly to determine if any loan needs to be evaluated for classification or impairment.

Loans excluded from the scope of the quarterly review process above are generally identified as pass credits until: (a) they become past due; (b) management becomes aware of deterioration in the credit worthiness of the borrower; or (c) the customer contacts the Company for a modification. In these circumstances, the loan is specifically evaluated for potential classification and the need to allocate reserves or charge-off. All loans greater than 90 days past due are generally placed on nonaccrual status. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

3. Loans Receivable (continued)

Credit Quality Indicators (continued)

Pass - Loans classified as pass are well protected by the current net worth or paying capacity of the obligor or by the fair value, less cost to acquire and sell the underlying collateral in a timely manner.

Pass Watch - Loans are considered marginal, meaning some weakness has been identified which could cause future impairment of repayment. However, these relationships are currently protected from any apparent loss by collateral.

Special Mention - Loans identified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution’s credit position at some future date.

Substandard - Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and payment capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful - Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.

Loss - This classification includes those loans which are considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as loans is not warranted. Even though partial recovery may be possible in the future, it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off these basically worthless loans. Accordingly, these loans are charged-off before period end.

The following tables present the grading of loans, segregated by class of loans, as of December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021:

Factors considered by management in determining impairment include payment status, collateral value, and the probability of collecting scheduled principal and interest payments when contractually due. Loans that experience insignificant payment delays or payment shortfalls are generally not classified as impaired. On a case-by-case basis, management determines the significance of payment delays and payment shortfalls, taking into consideration all of the circumstances related to the loan, including the length of the payment delay, the reasons for the delay, the borrower’s prior payment record, and the amount of the shortfall in relation to the principal and interest owed.

There was no interest income recognized on non-accrual loans during the six months ended December 31, 2021 or year ended June 30, 2021. If the non-accrual loans had been accruing interest at their original contracted rates, gross interest income that would have been recorded for the six months ended December 31, 2021 and the year ended June 30, 2021 was approximately $ 20 ,000 and $ 63 ,000, respectively.

Credit Quality Indicators (continued)

The Bank has no commitments to loan additional funds to borrowers whose loans were previously in non-accrual status. As of December 31, 2021, there were no residential loans in foreclosure or in the process of foreclosure.

A troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) is a restructuring of a debt made by the Company to a debtor for economic or legal reasons related to the debtor’s financial difficulties that it would not otherwise consider. The Company grants the concession in an attempt to protect as much of its investment as possible.

Information about the Company’s TDRs is as follows (in thousands):

	December 31, 2021
	Current			Past Due Greater Than 30 Days			Nonaccrual TDRs			Total TDRs
Commercial real estate		$	—		$	837		$	837		$	837

	June 30, 2021
	Current			Past Due Greater Than 30 Days			Nonaccrual TDRs			Total TDRs
Commercial business		$	—		$	837		$	837		$	837

For purposes of the determination of an allowance for loan losses on these TDRs, as an identified TDR, the Company considers a loss probable on the loan and, as a result, the loan is reviewed for specific impairment in accordance with the Company’s allowance for loan loss methodology. If it is determined losses are probable on such TDRs, either because of delinquency or other credit quality indicator, the Company establishes specific reserves for these loans. As of December 31, 2021, there were no commitments to lend additional funds to debtors owing sums to the Company whose terms have been modified in TDRs. The Company had no trouble debt restructuring that has subsequently defaulted in the last 12 months.

Loan Modifications/Troubled Debt Restructurings . Under the CARES Act, loans less than 30 days past due as of December 31, 2019 will be considered current for COVID-19 modifications. A financial institution can then suspend the requirements under GAAP for loan modifications related to COVID-19 that would otherwise be categorized as a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”), and suspend any determination of a loan modified as a result of COVID-19 as being a TDR, including the requirement to determine impairment for accounting purposes. Financial institutions wishing to utilize this authority must make a policy election, which applies to any COVID-19 modification made between March 1, 2020 and the earlier of either January 1, 2022 or the 60th day after the end of the COVID-19 national emergency. Home Federal Bank has made that election. Similarly, the Financial Accounting Standards Board has confirmed that short-term modifications made on a good-faith basis in response to COVID-19 to loan customers who were current prior to any relief will not be considered TDRs.

Prior to the enactment of the CARES Act, the banking regulatory agencies provided guidance as to how certain short-term modifications would not be considered TDRs, and have subsequently confirmed that such guidance could be applicable for loans that do not qualify for favorable accounting treatment under Section 4013 of the CARES Act.

5. Earnings Per Share

Home Federal Bank announced that its Board of Directors declared a two -for-one stock split in the form of a 100 % stock dividend, payable March 31, 2021 , to stockholders of record as of March 22, 2021 . Under the terms of the stock split, the Company’s stockholders received a dividend of one share for every share held on the record date. The dividend was paid in authorized but unissued shares of common stock of the Company. The par value of the Company’s stock was not affected by the split and will remain at $ 0.01 per share. The outstanding shares of stock after the split increased from approximately 1.7 million shares to 3.4 million shares.

Basic earnings per common share are computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding and common share equivalents that would arise from the exercise of dilutive securities. Earnings per share for the three and six months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 were calculated as follows:

	Three Months Ended December 31,				Six Months Ended December 31,
	2021		2020		2021		2020

Diluted earnings per share	$	0.34	$	0.42	$	0.73	$	0.79

For the three months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, there were outstanding options to purchase 637,281 and 619,566 shares, respectively, at a weighted average exercise price of $ 11.03 and $ 9.92 per share, respectively, and for the six months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, there were outstanding options to purchase 594,364 and 576,508 shares, respectively, at a weighted average exercise price of $ 11.03 and $ 9.92 per share, respectively. For the quarter ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, 245,971 options and 134,600 options, respectively, were included in the computation of diluted earnings per share. For the six month period ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, 259,807 options and 113,536 options, respectively, were included in the computation of diluted earnings per share.

7. Related Party Transactions

Certain directors and executive officers were indebted to the Bank in the approximate aggregate amounts of $ 3.0 million and $ 3.4 million at December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, respectively.

8. Fair Value Disclosures

The following disclosure is made in accordance with the requirements of ASC 825, Financial Instruments. Financial instruments are defined as cash and contractual rights and obligations that require settlement, directly or indirectly, in cash. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values have been estimated using the present value of future cash flows or other valuation techniques. The results of these techniques are highly sensitive to the assumptions used, such as those concerning appropriate discount rates and estimates of future cash flows, which require considerable judgment. Accordingly, estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize in a current settlement of the underlying financial instruments.

ASC 825 excludes certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments from its disclosure requirements. These disclosures should not be interpreted as representing an aggregate measure of the underlying value of the Company.

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair values of financial instruments:

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The carrying amount approximates the fair value of cash and cash equivalents.

Investment Securities

Fair values for investment securities, including mortgage-backed securities, are based on quoted market prices, where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments. The carrying values of restricted or non-marketable equity securities approximate their fair values. The carrying amount of accrued investment income approximates its fair value.

Mortgage Loans Held-for-Sale

Because these loans are normally disposed of within ninety days of origination, their carrying value closely approximates the fair value of such loans.

HOME FEDERAL BANCORP, INC. OF LOUISIANA

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

8. Fair Value Disclosures (continued)

Loans Receivable

For variable-rate loans that re-price frequently and with no significant changes in credit risk, fair value approximates the carrying value. Fair values for other loans are estimated using the discounted value of expected future cash flows. Interest rates used are those being offered currently for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable approximates its fair value.

Deposit Liabilities

The fair values for demand deposit accounts are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the reporting date, that is, their carrying amounts. Fair values for other deposit accounts are estimated using the discounted value of expected future cash flows. The discount rate is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar maturities.

Advances from Federal Home Loan Bank

The carrying amount of short-term borrowings approximates their fair value. The fair value of long-term debt is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on current incremental borrowing rates for similar borrowing arrangements.

Off-Balance Sheet Credit-Related Instruments

Fair values for outstanding mortgage loan commitments to lend are based on fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining term of the agreements, customer credit quality, and changes in lending rates.

The fair value of interest rate floors and caps contained in some loan servicing agreements and variable rate mortgage loan contracts are considered immaterial within the context of fair value disclosure requirements. Accordingly, no fair value estimate is provided for these instruments.

At December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, the carrying amount and estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments were as follows:

	December 31, 2021				June 30, 2021

8. Fair Value Disclosures (continued)

The Company follows the guidance of FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”). ASC 820 affirms a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 was issued to establish a uniform definition of fair value. The definition of fair value is market-based as opposed to company-specific and includes the following:

•	Defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability, in either case, through an orderly transaction between market participants at a measurement date and establishes a framework for measuring fair value;

•	Establishes a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date;

•	Nullifies the guidance in EITF 02-3, which required the deferral of profit at inception of a transaction involving a derivative financial instrument in the absence of observable data supporting the valuation technique;

•	Eliminates large position discounts for financial instruments quoted in active markets and requires consideration of the company’s creditworthiness when valuing liabilities; and

•	Expands disclosures about instruments that are measured at fair value.

The standard establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy favors the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows:

•	Level 1 – Fair value is based upon quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets in which the Company can participate.

•

Level 2 – Fair value is based upon (a) quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; (b) quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, that is, markets in which there are few transactions for the asset or liability, the prices are not current, or price quotations vary substantially either over time or among market makers, or in which little information is released publicly; (c) inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; or (d) inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

•

Level 3 – Fair value is based upon inputs that are unobservable for the asset or liability. These inputs reflect the Company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability (including assumptions about risk). These inputs are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances, which include the Company’s own data. The Company’s own data used to develop unobservable inputs are adjusted if information indicates that market participants would use different assumptions.

A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The preceding methods described may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of the net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, although the Company believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date. There have been no changes in the methodologies used during the six months ended December 31, 2021.

9. Leases

A lease is defined as a contract, or part of a contract, that conveys the right to control the use of identified property, plant or equipment for a period of time in exchange for consideration. On July 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02 “Leases” (Topic 842) and all subsequent ASUs that modified Topic 842. For the Company, Topic 842 primarily affected the accounting treatment for operating lease agreements in which the Company is the lessee. Substantially all of the leases in which the Company is the lessee are comprised of real estate property for branches with terms extending through 2058. Substantially all of the Company’s leases are classified as operating leases, and therefore, were previously not recognized on the Company’s consolidated statements of condition. With the adoption of Topic 842, operating lease agreements are required to be recognized on the consolidated statements of condition as right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and corresponding lease liabilities.

9. Leases (continued)

The calculated amount of the ROU assets and lease liabilities in the table above are impacted by the length of the lease term and the discount rate used to present value the minimum lease payments. The Company’s lease agreements often include one or more options to renew at the Company’s discretion. If at lease inception, the Company considers the exercising of a renewal option to be reasonably certain, the Company will include the extended term in the calculation of the ROU asset and lease liability. Regarding the discount rate, Topic 842 requires the use of the rate implicit in the lease whenever this rate is readily determinable. As this rate is rarely determinable, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate at lease inception, on a collateralized basis, over a similar term. For operating leases existing prior to July 1, 2019, the rate for the remaining lease term as of July 1, 2019, was the Company’s only finance lease, the Company utilized its incremental borrowing rate at lease inception.

	December 31, 2021			June 30, 2021
Weighted-average remaining lease term
Operating leases	36.9 years			37.4 years

Weighted-average discount rate

At December 31, 2021, the Company’s lease ROU assets and related lease liabilities were $ 851 ,000 and $ 874 4,000, respectively, and have a remaining term of 36.9 years, including extension options if the Company is reasonably certain they will be exercised.

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

General

The Company’s results of operations are primarily dependent on the results of Home Federal Bank (the “Bank”), its wholly owned subsidiary. The Bank’s results of operations depend, to a large extent, on net interest income, which is the difference between the income earned on its loan and investment portfolios and the cost of funds, consisting of the interest paid on deposits and borrowings. Results of operations are also affected by provisions for loan losses and loan sale activities. Non-interest expense principally consists of compensation and employee benefits, office occupancy and equipment expense, data processing, and other expenses. Our results of operations are also significantly affected by general economic and competitive conditions, particularly changes in interest rates, government policies, and actions of regulatory authorities. Future changes in applicable law, regulations, or government policies may materially impact our financial conditions and results of operations.

The Bank operates from its main office in Shreveport, Louisiana and nine full service branch offices located in Shreveport and Bossier City, Louisiana. The Company’s primary market area is the Shreveport-Bossier City metropolitan area.

Critical Accounting Policies

Allowance for Loan Losses. The Company has identified the calculation of the allowance for loan losses as a critical accounting policy, due to the higher degree of judgment and complexity than its other significant accounting policies. Provisions for loan losses are based upon management’s periodic valuation and assessment of the overall loan portfolio and the underlying collateral, trends in non-performing loans, current economic conditions, and other relevant factors in order to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level believed by management to represent all known and inherent losses in the portfolio that are both probable and reasonably estimable. Although management uses the best information available, the level of the allowance for loan losses remains an estimate which is subject to significant judgment and short-term change.

Income Taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined using the liability (or balance sheet) method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is determined based on the tax effects of the temporary differences between the book and tax basis of the various assets and liabilities and gives current recognition to changes in tax rates and laws. The realization of our deferred tax assets principally depends upon our achieving projected future taxable income. We may change our judgments regarding future profitability due to future market conditions and other factors. We may adjust our deferred tax asset balances, if our judgments change.

Discussion of Financial Condition Changes from June 30, 2021 to December 31, 2021

General

At December 31, 2021, the Company reported total assets of $571.3 million, an increase of $5.6 million, or 1.0%, compared to total assets of $565.7 million at June 30, 2021. The increase in assets was comprised primarily of increases in loans receivable, net of $24.9 million, or 7.4%, from $336.4 million at June 30, 2021 to $361.3 million at December 31, 2021, investment securities of $14.3 million, or 16.9%, from $84.3 million at June 30, 2021 to $98.5 million at December 31, 2021, premises and equipment of $1.1 million, or 7.1%, from $14.9 million at June 30, 2021 to $16.0 million at December 31, 2021, and bank owned life insurance of $55,000, or 0.8%, from $7.2 million at June 30, 2021 to $7.3 million at December 31, 2021. These increases were partially offset by decreases in cash and cash equivalents of $30.0 million, or 28.7%, from $104.4 million at June 30, 2021 to $74.4 million at December 31, 2021, loans held-for-sale of $4.2 million, or 29.4%, from $14.4 million at June 30, 2021 to $10.2 million at December 31, 2021, other assets of $246,000, or 14.0%, from $1.8 million at June 30, 2021 to $1.5 million at December 31, 2021, deferred tax assets of $196,000, or 23.9%, from $819,000 at June 30, 2021 to $623,000 at December 31, 2021, accrued interest receivable of $33,000, or 2.8%, from $1.2 million at June 30, 2021 to $1.1 million at December 31, 2021, and real estate owned of $8,000, or 2.1% from $383,000 at June 30, 2021 to $375,000 at December 31, 2021. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents was primarily due to the funding of additional loan growth with excess liquidity. The increase in loans receivable, net, was primarily due to an increase of $24.4 million in commercial real estate loans.

Index

HOME FEDERAL BANCORP, INC. OF LOUISIANA

Discussion of Financial Condition Changes from June 30, 2021 to December 31, 2021 (continued)

The increase in investment securities was primarily due to security purchases of $24.8 million offset by principal repayments on mortgage backed securities of $10.2 million. The decrease in loans held-for-sale primarily reflected a reduction in loans originated for sale during the six-month period.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents decreased $30.0 million, or 28.7%, from $104.4 million at June 30, 2021 to $74.4 million at December 31, 2021. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents was primarily due to the funding of addition loan growth with excess liquidity.

Loans Receivable, Net

Loans receivable, net, increased by $24.9 million, or 7.4%, to $361.3 million at December 31, 2021 compared to $336.4 million at June 30, 2021. The increase in loans receivable, net was primarily due to increases in commercial real estate loans of $24.4 million, one-to-four-family residential loans of $12.5 million, construction loans of $2.4 million, and consumer loans of $17,000, partially offset by decreases in commercial non-real estate loans of $13.5 million, equity line-of-credit loans of $964,000, land loans of $299,000, equity and second mortgage loans of $88,000 and multi-family residential loans of $25,000.

Loans Held-for-Sale

Loans held-for-sale decreased $4.2 million, or 29.4%, from $14.4 million at June 30, 2021 to $10.2 million at December 31, 2021. The decrease in loans held-for-sale results primarily from the decrease in the origination volume during the first six months of fiscal year 2022 due primarily to a decrease in refinance activity during the period.

Investment Securities

Investment securities amounted to $98.5 million at December 31, 2021 compared to $84.3 million at June 30, 2021, an increase of $14.3 million, or 16.9%. The increase in investment securities was primarily due to security purchases of $24.8 million offset by principal repayments on mortgage backed securities of $10.2 million.

Premises and Equipment, Net

Premises and equipment, net increased $1.1 million, or 7.1%, to $16.0 million at December 31, 2021 compared to $14.9 million at June 30, 2021. The increase in premises and equipment was primarily due to the construction of the Company’s new Huntington branch on Pines Road which opened as a full service branch on December 20, 2021.

Asset Quality

At December 31, 2021, the Company had $1.6 million of non-performing assets (defined as non-accruing loans, accruing loans 90 days or more past due, and other real estate owned) compared to $1.4 million on non-performing assets at June 30, 2021, consisting of six commercial real estate loans to one borrower, three single-family residential loans, and one commercial real estate property at December 31, 2021, compared to six commercial real estate loans to one borrower, three single-family residential loans, and one commercial real estate property and one single family residence in other real estate owned at June 30, 2021. At December 31, 2021, the Company had one single family residential loan and eight commercial real estate loans classified as substandard compared to two single family residential loans and eight commercial real estate loans classified as substandard at June 30, 2021. There were no loans classified as doubtful at December 31, 2021 or June 30, 2021.

Total Liabilities

Total liabilities increased $4.9 million, or 0.9%, from $513.0 million at June 30, 2021 to $517.9 million at December 31, 2021 primarily due to increases in total deposits of $5.6 million, or 1.1%, to $512.2 million at December 31, 2021 compared to $506.6 million at June 30, 2021, and $100,000, or 4.2%, in other borrowings from $2.4 million at June 30, 2021 to $2.5 million at December 31, 2021, partially offset by a decrease of $570,000, or 21.0%, in other liabilities from $2.7 million at June 30, 2021 to $2.1 million at December 31, 2021, a decrease of $220,000 or 51.6%, in advances from borrowers for taxes and insurance, and a decrease of $17,000, or 2.0%, in advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank from $867,000 at June 30, 2021 to $850,000 at December 31, 2021. The increase in deposits was primarily due to an $11.0 million, or 8.4%, increase in non-interest bearing deposits from $131.0 million at June 30, 2021 to $142.0 million at December 31, 2021, a $9.8 million, or 7.6%, increase in savings deposits from $129.1 million at June 30, 2021 to $138.9 million at December 31, 2021, an increase in NOW accounts of $7.0 million, or 14.3%, from $49.3 million at June 30, 2021 to $56.3 million at December 31, 2021, and a $2.4 million, or 2.7%, increase in money market deposits from $88.2 million at June 30, 2021 to $90.6 million at December 31, 2021, partially offset by a decrease of $24.6 million, or 22.6%, in certificates of deposit from $109.0 million at June 30, 2021 to $84.4 million at December 31, 2021. The Company had $6.0 million in brokered deposits at December 31, 2021 compared to $10.7 million at June 30, 2021. The decrease in advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank was primarily due to principal paydowns on amortizing advances.

Shareholders’ Equity

Shareholders’ equity increased $683,000, or 1.3%, to $53.4 million at December 31, 2021 from $52.7 million at June 30, 2021. The primary reasons for the changes in shareholders’ equity from June 30, 2021 were net income of $2.5 million, proceeds from the issuance of common stock from the exercise of stock options of $1.2 million, and the vesting of share awards, stock options, and the release of employee stock ownership plan shares totaling $382,000, partially offset by the repurchase of Company stock of $2.6 million, dividends paid totaling $671,000, and a decrease in the Company’s accumulated other comprehensive income of $213,000.

Regulatory Capital

The Bank is required to meet minimum capital standards promulgated by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”). At December 31, 2021, Home Federal Bank’s regulatory capital was well in excess of the minimum capital requirements. At December 31, 2021, Home Federal Bank exceeded each of its regulatory capital requirements with tangible equity, common equity Tier 1, core, and total risk-based capital ratios of 9.80%, 15.40%, 9.80%, and 16.56%, respectively.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three and Six Months Ended December 31, 2021 and 2020

General

The decrease in net income for the three months ended December 31, 2021, as compared to the prior year quarter resulted primarily from a $472,000, or 31.3%, decrease in non-interest income, a decrease of $290,000, or 6.5%, in net interest income, and an increase of $94,000, or 2.6%, in non-interest expense, partially offset by a decrease of $539,000, or 89.8%, in provision for loan losses, and a $90,000, or 23.1%, decrease in provision for income taxes. The decrease in the provision for loan losses for the three months ended December 31, 2021, was primarily due to improvement in economic and credit quality factors.

The decrease in net income for the six months ended December 31, 2021 resulted primarily from a $1.2 million, or 36.1%, decrease in non-interest income, an increase of $206,000, or 2.9%, in non-interest expense, and a decrease of $54,000, or 0.6% in net interest income, partially offset by a decrease of $1.2 million, or 95.3%, in provision for loan losses, and a decrease of $60,000, or 8.4%, in provision for income taxes.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 (continued)

Net Interest Income

The decrease in net interest income for the three months ended December 31, 2021 was primarily due to a $694,000, or 12.9%, decrease in total interest income, partially offset by a decrease of $404,000, or 44.6% in total interest expense. The Company’s average interest rate spread was 2.99% for the three months ended December 31, 2021 compared to 3.23% for the three months ended December 31, 2020. The Company’s net interest margin was 3.15% for the three months ended December 31, 2021 compared to 3.50% for the three months ended December 31, 2020.

The decrease in net interest income for the six-month period was primarily due to a $904,000, or 8.7%, decrease in total interest income, partially offset by an $850,000, or 44.7%, decrease in total interest expense. The Company’s average interest rate spread was 2.99% for the six months ended December 31, 2021 compared to 3.06% for the six months ended December 31, 2020. The Company’s net interest margin was 3.15% for the six months ended December 31, 2021 compared to 3.34% for the six months ended December 31, 2020.

Provision for Losses on Loans

Based on an analysis of historical experience, the volume and type of lending conducted by Home Federal Bank, the status of past due principal and interest payments, general economic conditions, particularly as such conditions relate to our market area, and other factors related to the collectability of Home Federal Bank’s loan portfolio, the provision for loan losses was $61,000 for both the three and six months ended December 31, 2021, compared to $600,000 and $1.3 million in provisions made during the three and six months ended December 31, 2020. The allowance for loan losses was $4.2 million, or 1.14% of total loans receivable, at December 31, 2021 compared to $3.8 million, or 1.11% of total loans receivable, at December 31, 2020. At December 31, 2021, Home Federal Bank had $1.2 million in non-performing loans and $375,000 in other real estate owned which totaled $1.6 million in non-performing assets.

Non-interest Income

The $472,000 decrease in non-interest income for the three months ended December 31, 2021, compared to the prior year quarterly period, was primarily due to a decrease of $497,000 in gain on sale of loans, and a $5,000 decrease in income from bank owned life insurance, partially offset by an increase of $29,000 in service charges on deposit accounts, and a $1,000 increase in other non-interest income. The $1.2 million decrease in non-interest income for the six months ended December 31, 2021 compared to the prior year six-month period was primarily due to a decrease of $1.2 million in gain on sale of loans, and a decrease of $12,000 in income from bank owned life insurance, partially offset by a $49,000 increase in service charges on deposit accounts. The decreases in gain on sale of loans for both the quarter and six-month periods were primarily due to a decrease in refinance activity causing a decrease in mortgage loan originations. The Company sells most of its long-term fixed rate residential mortgage loan originations primarily in order to manage interest rate risk.

Non-interest Expense

The $94,000 increase in non-interest expense for the three months ended December 31, 2021, compared to the same period in 2020, is primarily attributable to increases of $168,000 in compensation and benefits expense, $55,000 in audit and examination fees, $53,000 in franchise and bank shares tax expense, $50,000 in occupancy and equipment expense, $23,000 in advertising expense, $13,000 in other non-interest expenses, and $1,000 in deposit insurance premiums expense. The increases were partially offset by decreases of $200,000 in real estate owned valuation adjustment expense, $29,000 in legal fees, $25,000 in data processing expense, and $15,000 in loan and collection expense. The $206,000 increase in non-interest expense for the six months ended December 31, 2021, compared to the same six month period in 2020, is primarily attributable to increases of $164,000 in compensation and benefits expense, $102,000 in occupancy and equipment expense, $73,000 in franchise and bank shares tax expense, $71,000 in advertising expense, $61,000 in audit and examination fees expense, $32,000 in other non-interest expenses, and $9,000 in deposit insurance premium expense, partially offset by decreases of $200,000 in real estate owned valuation adjustment expense, $59,000 in legal fees, $37,000 in loan and collection expense, and $10,000 in data processing expense.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 (continued)

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Home Federal Bank maintains levels of liquid assets deemed adequate by management. The Bank adjusts its liquidity levels to fund deposit outflows, repay its borrowings, and to fund loan commitments. Home Federal Bank also adjusts liquidity as appropriate to meet asset and liability management objectives.

Home Federal Bank’s primary sources of funds are deposits, amortization and prepayment of loans and mortgage-backed securities, maturities of investment securities and other short-term investments, loan sales, and earnings and funds provided from operations. While scheduled principal repayments on loans and mortgage-backed securities are a relatively predictable source of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions, and competition. The Bank sets the interest rates on its deposits to maintain a desired level of total deposits. In addition, Home Federal Bank invests excess funds in short-term interest-earning accounts and other assets which provide liquidity to meet lending requirements. Home Federal Bank’s deposit accounts with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas amounted to $24.8 million at December 31, 2021.

A significant portion of Home Federal Bank’s liquidity consists of securities classified as available-for-sale and cash and cash equivalents. Home Federal Bank’s primary sources of cash are net income, principal repayments on loans and mortgage-backed securities, and increases in deposit accounts. If Home Federal Bank requires funds beyond its ability to generate them internally, borrowing agreements exist with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas which provides an additional source of funds. At December 31, 2021, Home Federal Bank had $850,000 in advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas and had $174.5 million in additional borrowing capacity. Additionally, at December 31, 2021, Home Federal Bank was a party to a Master Purchase Agreement with First National Bankers Bank whereby Home Federal Bank may purchase Federal Funds from First National Bankers Bank in an amount not to exceed $20.4 million. There were no amounts purchased under this agreement as of December 31, 2021. In addition, the Company had available a $5.0 million line of credit agreement at December 31, 2021 with First National Bankers Bank. At December 31, 2021 there was a $2.5 million balance in the credit line.

At December 31, 2021, Home Federal Bank had outstanding loan commitments of $43.4 million to originate loans and commitments under unused lines of credit of $10.6 million. At December 31, 2021, certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in less than one year totaled $49.8 million. Based on prior experience, management believes that a significant portion of such deposits will remain with us, although there can be no assurance that this will be the case. In addition, the cost of such deposits could be significantly higher upon renewal in a rising interest rate environment. Home Federal Bank intends to utilize its high levels of liquidity to fund its lending activities. If additional funds are required to fund lending activities, Home Federal Bank intends to sell its securities classified as available-for-sale, as needed.

At December 31, 2021, Home Federal Bank exceeded each of its regulatory capital requirements with tangible equity, common equity Tier 1, core, and total risk-based capital ratios of 9.80%, 15.40%, 9.80%, and 16.56%, respectively.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

At December 31, 2021, the Company did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined by Securities and Exchange Commission rules.

Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices

The financial statements and related financial data presented herein have been prepared in accordance with instructions to Form 10-Q which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering changes in relative purchasing power over time due to inflation.

Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all of the Company’s assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates generally have a more significant impact on a financial institution’s performance than does the effect of inflation.
