During fiscal year 2015, the Bank sold $16.8 million in investment and mortgage-backed securities which resulted in a realized gain of $158,000. There were no sales of securities for the years ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. The tax effects of certain tax benefits related to stock options are recorded directly to shareholders’ equity.

The Bank’s retained earnings at March 31, 2015 and 2014 included base year bad debt reserves, which amounted to $2.2 million, for which no federal income tax liability has been recognized. The amount of unrecognized deferred tax liability at March 31, 2015 and 2014 was $781,000. This represents the balance of bad debt reserves created for tax purposes as of December 31, 1987. These amounts are subject to recapture in the unlikely event that the Company’s banking subsidiaries (1) make distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits, as calculated for federal tax purposes, (2) redeem their stock, or (3) liquidate. Management does not expect this temporary difference to reverse in the foreseeable future. At March 31, 2015, the Company had a deferred tax asset of $8.2 million for federal and state net operating loss carryforwards, respectively, which will expire in years 2032 through 2035.

At March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits or uncertain tax positions. In addition, the Company had no accrued interest or penalties as of March 31, 2015 or 2014. It is the Company’s policy to recognize potential accrued interest and penalties as a component of income tax expense. The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax and income tax of the State of Oregon. The years 2011 to 2014 remain open to examination for federal income taxes, and years 2010 to 2014 remain open to State examination.

The Company reversed its deferred tax asset valuation allowance as of March 31, 2014 due to management’s determination that it was “more likely than not” that the Company’s deferred tax assets would be realized. “More likely than not” is defined as greater than 50% probability of occurrence. A determination as to the ultimate realization of the deferred tax assets is dependent upon management’s judgment and evaluation of both positive and negative evidence, forecasts of future taxable income, applicable tax planning strategies, and an assessment of current and future economic and business conditions. The determination resulted from consideration of both the positive and negative evidence available that can be objectively verified. Considering the guidance in paragraphs 21-23 of Accounting Standards Codification 740-10-30, forming a conclusion that a valuation allowance is not needed is difficult when there is negative evidence such as cumulative losses in recent years. At March 31, 2014, the Company was in a cumulative loss position over a three year period which is considered a significant piece of negative evidence that is difficult to overcome. Accordingly, in its determination of the deferred tax assets, the Company analyzed and evaluated the nature and timing of relevant facts and circumstances with respect to its cumulative loss. As a result of this analysis management concluded it was more likely than not that forecasted earnings performance would allow for the realization of the deferred tax assets in a timely manner. At March 31, 2015, the Company returned to a cumulative income position over a three year period.
