Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Basis of presentation. Interim Financial Information (unaudited): The financial
statements and notes related thereto for the three month periods and nine month
periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, are unaudited, but in the opinion of
management include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and
results of operations. The operating results for the interim periods are not
indicative of the operating results to be expected for a full year or for other
interim periods. Not all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting
principles necessary for a complete presentation have been included. It is
recommended that these consolidated condensed financial statements be read in
conjunction with the Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended June 30,
1996 and all related amendments and exhibits (including all financial statements
and notes therein), filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
Principles of consolidation. The accompanying consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of Washington Bancorp("Washington" or the "Company"),
Washington Federal Savings Bank(the "Bank"), and its wholly-owned subsidiary
Washington Financial Services, Inc., which is a discount brokerage firm. All
significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.
Organization. On March 11, 1996, Washington Bancorp sold 604,917 shares of
common stock at $10.00 per share and simultaneously invested $3,089,356 for all
the outstanding common shares of Washington Federal Savings Bank in a
transaction accounted for like a pooling of interests.
Prior to March 11, 1996, the Bank was a federally chartered mutual savings bank.
After a reorganization, effective March 11, 1996, the Bank became a federally
chartered stock savings bank and 100% of the Bank's common stock is owned by
Washington Bancorp.
Recapture of Bad Debt Reserves. Prior to the enactment, on August 20, 1996, of
the Small Business Job Protection Act of 1996 (the "1996 Act"), for federal
income tax purposes, thrift institutions such as the Bank, which met certain
definitional tests primarily relating to their assets and the nature of their
business, were permitted to establish tax reserves for bad debt, and to make
annual additions thereto, which additions could, within specified limitations,
be deducted in arriving at their taxable income. The Bank's deduction with
respect to "qualifying loans," which are generally loans secured by certain
interests in real property, could be computed using an amount based on a
six-year moving average of the Bank's actual loss experience (the "Experience
Method"), or a percentage equal to 8% of the Bank's taxable income ( the "PTI
Method"), computed without regard to this deduction and with additional
modifications and reduced by the amount of any permitted addition to the
non-qualifying reserve.
Under the 1996 Act, the PTI Method was repealed and the Bank has been required
to use the Experience Method of computing additions to its bad debt reserve for
taxable years beginning with the Banks taxable year beginning January 1, 1996.
In addition, the Bank is required to recapture (i.e., take into income) over a
six-year period, beginning with the Bank's taxable year beginning January 1,
1996, the excess of the balance of its bad debt reserves (other than the
supplemental reserve) as of December 31, 1995 over the greater of (a) the
balance of such reserves as of December 31, 1987 (or over a lesser amount if the
Bank's portfolio decreased since December 31, 1987) or (b) an amount that would
have been the balance of such reserves as of December 31, 1995 had the Bank
always computed the additions to its reserves using the six-year moving average
Experience Method. However, under the 1996 Act, such recapture requirements will
be suspended for each of the two successive taxable years beginning January 1,
1996 in which the Bank originates a minimum amount of certain residential loans
during such years that is not less than the average of the principal amounts of
such loans made by the Bank during its six taxable years preceding January 1,
1996. This legislation will result in the Bank's recapture of reserves with the
aggregate tax liability of approximately $156,000. Since the Bank has already
provided a deferred income tax liability of this amount for financial reporting
purposes, there will be no adverse impact to the Bank's financial condition or
results of operations from the enactment of this legislation.
<PAGE>
Deposit Insurance Funds Act of 1996. In response to the SAIF/BIF assessment
disparity, the Deposit Insurance Funds Act of 1996 (the "Funds Act") was enacted
into law on September 30, 1996. The Funds Act amended the Federal Deposit
Insurance Act (the "FDIA") in several ways to recapitalize the SAIF and reduce
the disparity in the assessment rates for the BIF and the SAIF. The Funds Act
authorized the FDIC to impose a special assessment on all institutions with
SAIF-assessable deposits in the amount necessary to recapitalize the SAIF. As
implemented by the FDIC, institutions with SAIF-assessable deposits paid a
special assessment, subject to adjustment, of 65.7 basis points on the Savings
Association Insurance Fund (SAIF) deposits held as of March 31, 1995. Washington
Federal Savings Bank's assessment totalled $294,310. The Funds Act provides that
the amount of special assessment will be deductible for federal income tax
purposes for the taxable year in which the special assessment is paid.
The SAIF-assessable base for the fourth quarter of calendar year 1996 was
assessed at a rate of 23 to 31 basis points as part of the regular annual
deposit insurance assessment. In view of the recapitalization of the SAIF, the
FDIC reduced the assessment rate for the SAIF-assessable deposits for periods
beginning October 1, 1996. Overpayment of the fourth quarter assessment
totalling $5,806 was credited toward the regular quarterly payment due January
2, 1997. Beginning January 1, 1997 the SAIF-assessable base ranges from 0 to 27
basis points, the same risk-based assessment as BIF members. Washington Federal
Savings Bank has a risk classification of 1A and an annual SAIF-assessable base
rate of 0.
The Funds Act expanded the base of the payments on the bonds (the "FICO bonds")
issued in the late 1980s by the Financing Corporation to recapitalize the now
defunct Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation to include the deposits
of both SAIFand BIF-insured deposits beginning January 1, 1997. Until December
31, 1999, or such earlier date on which the last savings association ceases to
exist, the rate of assessment for BIF-assessable deposits will be one-fifth of
the rate imposed on SAIF-assessable deposits. The FICO assessment of 6.5 basis
points on SAIF members and 1.3 basis points on BIF members has been added to the
regular assessment.
Earnings per common share. The earnings per common share amounts were computed
using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the periods
presented. In accordance with Statement of Position 93-6, shares owned by the
ESOP that have not been committed to be released are not considered outstanding
for the purpose of computing earnings per share. Using the treasury stock
method, the amount of dilution as a result of the potential exercise of the
stock option plan is reported as a number of shares of common stock considered
outstanding for the purpose of computing earnings per share. Weighted average
shares of common stock purchased for the treasury are not considered outstanding
for the purpose of computing earnings per share. The weighted average shares of
common stock allocated under the recognition and retention plan are considered
outstanding for the purpose of computing earnings per share. Earnings per share
information for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and nine months ended
March 31, 1997 is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average
number of shares outstanding. Earnings per share information for the three
months ended March, 1996 and the nine months ended March, 1996 is calculated by
dividing net income, subsequent to the mutual to stock conversion, by the
weighted average number of shares outstanding. Net income subsequent to
conversion was $4,899 for the periods ended March 31, 1996.
<PAGE>
Regulatory capital requirements. Pursuant to the Financial Information Reform,
Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989 ("FIRREA"), savings institutions must meet
three separate minimum capital-to-asset requirements. The following table
summarizes, as of March 31, 1997 the capital requirements of the Bank under
FIRREA and its actual capital ratios. As of March 31, 1997 the Bank
substantially exceeded all current regulatory capital requirement standards.

Part I - Financial Information
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis
General
Washington Bancorp ("Washington" or the "Company") is an Iowa corporation which
was organized in October 1995 by Washington Federal Savings Bank ("Washington
Federal" or the "Bank") for the purpose of becoming a savings and loan holding
company. Washington Federal is a federally chartered savings bank headquartered
in Washington, Iowa. Originally chartered in 1934, the Bank converted to a
federal savings bank in 1994. Its deposits are insured up to the applicable
limits by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC").
In March 1996, the Bank converted to the stock form of organization through the
sale and issuance of its common stock to the Company. The principal asset of the
Company is the outstanding stock of the Bank, its wholly-owned subsidiary. The
Company presently has no separate operations and its business consists primarily
of the business of the Bank. All references to the Company, unless otherwise
indicated at or before March 11, 1996 refer to the Bank.
Washington attracts deposits from the general public in its local market area
and uses such deposits primarily to invest in one- to four-family residential
loans secured by owner occupied properties and non-residential properties, as
well as construction loans on such properties. Washington also makes commercial
loans, consumer loans, automobile loans, and has occasionally been a purchaser
of fixed-rate mortgage-backed securities.
Under the Deposit Insurance Funds Act of 1996 the Bank was assessed a 65.7
basis-point, one-time SAIF fee which totalled $294,310. As of September 30, 1996
the Bank was assessed at a rate of 23 basis points for the protection of FDIC
insurance. Effective October 1, 1996 the annual assessment rate was reduced and
a $5,806 credit for the fourth quarter overpayment was applied toward the first
quarter 1997 assessment billing. Since January 1, 1997 the Bank has been charged
an annual SAIF FICO assessment rate of 6.5 basis points.
Washington Bancorp repurchased 26,300 shares of common stock during the three
months ended March 31, 1997 with the intention that such shares will be used to
fund the recognition and retention plan.
Financial Condition
Total assets. Total consolidated assets have increased from $60.9 million at
June 30, 1996 to $65.1 million at March 31, 1997. This net increase is primarily
due an increase in net loans receivable funded primarily by a decrease in
available for sale investment securities, an increase in deposits and to a
lesser extent, an increase in borrowings.
Loans receivable. Loans receivable, net increased from $42.9 million at June 30,
1996 to $49.6 million at March 31, 1997. This increase is primarily due to the
Bank's continued emphasis on serving the mortgage needs of our customers. The
average first mortgage loan balance rose from $34,510 at June 30, 1996 to
$36,656 at March 31, 1997. There was also a $3.6 million increase in commercial
lending as a result of an active solicitation program, the Bank's reputation
within the community and current commercial credit customers recommending the
Bank's services to others.
Investment securities. Available-for-sale securities decreased from $14.6
million at June 30, 1996 to $10.6 million at March 31, 1997. This decrease is
primarily due to the maturity or call of $10.1 million in available-for-sale
securities which were partially used to fund loan activity and partially
reinvested in available-for-sale securities. The portfolio of available-for-sale
securities is comprised primarily of investment securities carrying fixed
interest rates. The fair value of these securities is subject to changes in
interest rates. The fair value of these securities was less on March, 1997 than
their carrying value due to an increase in interest rates since the purchase
date of the securities. Therefore, the total balance of available-for-sale
securities is offset by the gross effect of the unrealized loss.
Accrued interest receivable. Accrued interest receivable increased from $466,000
at June 30, 1996 to $599,000 at March 31, 1997. The increase is primarily due to
the increase in loans receivable, net.
<PAGE>
Deposits. Deposits increased from $44.2 million at June 30, 1996 to $48.0
million at March 31, 1997. Interest credited to customer accounts totalled $1.4
million, while deposits exceeded withdrawals by $2.4 million. Transaction and
savings deposits increased as a percentage of total deposits from $13.9 million
or 31.4% at June 30, 1996 to $16.5 million or 34.4% at March 31, 1997. As a
result of the increase in transaction and savings deposits, certificates of
deposit decreased as a percentage of total deposits from $30.3 million or 68.6%
at June 30, 1996 to $31.5 million or 65.6% at March 31, 1997.
FHLB Borrowings. The total principal balance in advances from the Federal Home
Loan Bank of Des Moines (FHLB) increased from $5.5 million at June 30, 1996 to
$5.9 million at March 31, 1997. The increase is primarily due to the increased
need to borrow to fund loan activity.
Advances from borrowers for taxes and insurance. The total balance in advances
from borrowers for taxes and insurance decreased from $219,000 at June 30, 1996
to $100,000 at March 31, 1997. The decrease is primarily due to the payment of
the second half of the county real estate taxes due on March 31, 1997.
Total stockholders' equity. Total stockholders' equity decreased $64,000 when
comparing March 31, 1997 to June 30, 1996. The decrease is primarily due to the
repurchase of 26,300 shares of common stock with the intention that such shares
will be used to fund the recognition and retention plan at a cost of $349,000.
The $376,000 net income for the nine months ended March 31, 1997 was partially
offset by the cash dividends paid to shareholders on August 15, 1996, November
15, 1996, and February 15, 1997 totalling $155,000. The decrease in equity was
also offset by the $42,000 decrease in unearned shares of the ESOP and the
$20,000 decrease in unrealized loss on available-for-sale securities.
Results of Operations - Nine Months Ended March 31, 1997 As Compared To The Nine
Months Ended March 31, 1996
Performance summary. Net earnings increased $81,000 to $376,000 for the nine
months ended March 31, 1997 from $295,000 for the nine months ended March 31,
1996. The increase is primarily due to the increase of $614,000 in interest
income, a $9,000 decrease in interest expense, and a $58,000 increase in
noninterest income. This was partially offset by the $294,000 one-time SAIF
assessment included in the $517,000 increase in non-interest expense. For the
nine months ended March 31, 1997 the annualized return on average assets was
0.79% compared to 0.71% for the nine months ended March 31, 1996, while the
annualized return on average equity was 4.76% for the nine months ended March
31, 1997 compared to 7.69% for the nine months ended March 31, 1996. The
decrease in the annualized return on average equity is due to the increase in
stockholders' equity from the conversion in March of 1996.
Net interest income. Net interest income increased $623,000 to $1.8 million for
the nine months ended March 31, 1997 from $1.2 million for the nine months ended
March 31, 1996. The increase is primarily due to the increase of $614,000 in
interest income to $3.7 million for the nine months ended March 31, 1997 from
$3.1 million for the nine months ended March 31, 1996. Interest expense
decreased $9,000 when comparing the nine months ended March 31, 1997 to the nine
months ended March 31, 1996.
For the nine months ended March 31, 1997 the average yield on interest-earning
assets was 8.24% compared to 7.75% for the nine months ended March 31, 1996. The
increase in the average yield on interest-earning assets can be attributed to
the increase in loans receivable; particularly commercial loans. The average
cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 5.14% for the nine months ended March
31, 1997 compared to 5.20% for the nine months ended March 31, 1996. The
decrease in average cost of interest-bearing liabilities can be attributed to
the increase in transaction and savings accounts, which have a lower interest
rate, as a ratio of total deposits. The average balance of interest-earning
assets increased $16.7 million to $60.2 million for the nine months ended March
31, 1997 from $53.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 1996. During
this same period, the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities increased
$384,000 to $49.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 1997 from $48.8
million for the nine months ended March 31, 1996.
<PAGE>
Due primarily to the increase in yield on the interest-earning assets, the
average interest rate spread was 3.10% for the nine months ended March 31, 1997
compared to 2.55% for the nine months ended March 31, 1996. The average net
interest margin (annualized net interest income divided by total average assets)
was 3.85% for the nine months ended March 31, 1997 compared to 2.89% for the
nine months ended March 31, 1996.
Provision for loan loss. Provision for loan loss increased $13,000 to $25,000
for the nine months ended March 31, 1997 from $12,000 for the nine months ended
March 31, 1996. The increase is primarily due to a special provision made in
January 1997 as a result of a gain on a foreclosed property which totalled
$15,000. The regular provision for loan loss expense decreased $2,000 to $10,000
for the nine months ended March 31, 1997 from $12,000 for the nine months ended
March 31, 1996.
Noninterest income. Noninterest income increased $58,000 to $196,000 for the
nine months ended March 31, 1997 from $139,000 for the nine months ended March
31, 1996. The $26,000 increase in service charges and fees is primarily due to
the increase in overdraft fees when comparing the nine months ended March 31,
1997 to the nine months ended March 31, 1996 as a result of more stringent
guidelines on overdrawn accounts. The $30,000 increase in insurance commissions
to $62,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 1997 from $32,000 for the period
ended March 31, 1996 is a result of the increased sales of credit insurance
products on the loan portfolio. The $36,000 increase in other noninterest income
is primarily due to the increase in gains on real estate sold when comparing the
nine months ended March 31, 1997 to the nine months ended March 31, 1996. These
increases were offset by a $1,000 decrease in loan fees and a $32,000 decrease
in gains from the sale of available-for-sale securities when comparing the nine
months ended March 31, 1997 to the nine months ended March 31, 1996.
Noninterest expense. Noninterest expense increased $517,000 to $1.4 million for
the nine months ended March 31, 1997 from $876,000 for the nine months ended
March 31, 1996. The $273,000 increase in SAIF deposit insurance premium is
primarily due to the $294,000 one-time SAIF assessment. Compensation and benefit
expense increased $126,000 to $545,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 1997
from $419,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 1996. The increase in
compensation is partially due to an $18,000 increase in fees paid to the credit
insurance brokers to $37,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 1997 from
$18,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 1996 as a result of increased credit
insurance sales. Also there were normal salary increases and increases in other
employee benefits totalling $108,000 which includes a $46,000 expense for the
recognition and retention plan which was ratified on October 15, 1996 and a
$42,000 expense for the ESOP. Other noninterest expense increased $130,000 to
$324,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 1997 from $194,000 for the nine
months ended March 31, 1996 primarily as a result of the increase in operating
costs since the formation of Washington Bancorp including a $27,000 increase in
the fees paid for auditing and accounting services, a $16,000 increase in
advertising expense, and a $12,000 increase in attorney fees paid. Property tax
expense has increased $7,000 to $19,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 1997
from $12,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 1996. Also, telephone expense
increased $9,000, postage and delivery expense increased $7,000, and service
fees for electronic banking products increased $5,000 when comparing the nine
months ended March 31, 1997 to the nine months ended March 31, 1996.
Results of Operations - Three Months Ended March 31, 1997 As Compared To The
Three Months Ended March 31, 1996 Performance summary. Net earnings increased
$97,000 to $211,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 from $114,000 for
the three months ended March 31, 1996. The increase is primarily due to the
increase of $233,000 in interest income and an increase of $10,000 in
noninterest income. This was partially offset by an increase of $26,000 in
interest expense, a $16,000 increase in provision for loan loss, a $34,000
increase in noninterest expense and an increase of $69,000 in income tax
expense. For the three months ended March 31, 1997 the annualized return on
average assets was 1.30% compared to .81% for the three months ended March 31,
1996, while the annualized return on average equity was 7.98% for the three
months ended March 31, 1997 compared to 8.88% for the three months ended March
31, 1996.
Net interest income. Net interest income increased $207,000 to $636,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 1997 from $429,000 for the three months ended March
31, 1996. The increase is primarily due to the increase of $233,000 in interest
income to $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997 from $1.0
million for the three months ended March 31, 1996. Interest expense increased
$26,000 to $628,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 from $602,000 for
the three months ended March 31, 1996.
<PAGE>
For the three months ended March 31, 1997 the average yield on interest-earning
assets was 8.23% compared to 7.72% for the three months ended March 31, 1996.
The increase in average yield on interest-earning assets can be attributed to
the increase in loans receivable; particularly commercial loans. The average
cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 4.97% for the three months ended March
31, 1997 compared to 4.99% for the three months ended March 31, 1996. The
decrease in average cost of interest-bearing liabilities can be attributed to
the increase in transaction and savings deposits, which have a lower interest
rate, as a percentage of total deposits. The average balance of interest-earning
assets increased $8.0 million to $61.5 million for the three months ended March
31, 1997 from $53.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 1996. During
this same period, the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities increased
$2.3 million to $50.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997 from
$48.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 1996.
Due primarily to the increase in yield on the interest-earning assets, the
average interest rate spread was 3.26% for the three months ended March 31, 1997
compared to 2.73% for the three months ended March 31, 1996. The average net
interest margin (annualized net interest income divided by total average assets)
was 3.92% for the three months ended March 31, 1997 compared to 2.91% for the
three months ended March 31, 1996.
Provision for loan loss. Provision for loan loss increased $16,000 to $19,000
for the three months ended March 31, 1997 from $3,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1996. The increase is primarily due to a special provision made in
January 1997 as a result of a gain on a foreclosed property which totalled
$15,000. The regular provision for loan loss expense increased $1,000 to $4,000
for the three months ended March 31, 1997 from $3,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1996 as a result of the increase in total loans receivable.
Noninterest income. Noninterest income increased $10,000 to $67,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 1997 from $57,000 for the three months ended March
31, 1996. The $8,000 increase in insurance commissions to $14,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1997 from $8,000 for the period ended March 31, 1996 is a
result of the increased sales of credit insurance products on the loan
portfolio. Other noninterest income increased $20,000 primarily as a result of
an increase in gains on real estate sold when comparing the three months ended
March 31, 1997 to the three months ended March 31, 1996. Loan fees decreased
$4,000 as a result of a decline in mortgage loan refinancing or secondary-market
originating and gains from the sale of available-for-sale securities decreased
$14,000 when comparing the three months ended March 31, 1997 to the three months
ended March 31, 1996. The gains on the sale of securities in the three months
ended March 31, 1996 were a result of an opportunity to sell available for sale
securities.
Noninterest expense. Noninterest expense increased $34,000 to $338,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 1997 from $304,000 for the three months ended March
31, 1996. Compensation and benefit expense increased $46,000 to $185,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 1997 from $139,000 for the three months ended March
31, 1996. The increase represents normal salary increases, a $6,000 increase in
fees paid to the credit insurance brokers to $8,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1997 from $2,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996, and
increases in other employee benefits including the $22,000 expense for the
Recognition and Retention Plan approved on October 15, 1996 at the Company's
annual meeting. Other noninterest expense increased $15,000 to $96,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 1997 from $81,000 for the three months ended March
31, 1996 as a result of the $3,000 increase in cost of real estate sold when
comparing the three months ended March 31, 1997 to the three months ended March
31, 1996, as well as a $5,000 increase in professional services, a $6,000
increase in miscellaneous expenses and a $1,000 increase in legal services when
comparing the three months ended March 31, 1997 to the three months ended March
31, 1996.
Liquidity and capital resources. The Bank's principal sources of funds are
deposits, amortization and prepayment of loan principal, borrowings, and the
sale and maturities of investment securities. While scheduled loan repayments
and maturing investments are relatively predictable, deposit flows and early
loan repayments are more influenced by interest rates, general economic
conditions, and competition, and, most recently, the restructuring of the thrift
industry. The Bank generally manages the pricing of its deposits to maintain a
steady deposit balance, but has from time to time decided not to pay deposit
rates that are as high as those of its competition, and when necessary, to
supplement deposits with alternative sources of funds.
Federal regulations historically have required the Bank to maintain minimum
levels of liquid assets. The required percentage has varied from time to time
based upon economic conditions and savings flows and is currently 5% of net
withdrawable savings deposits and borrowings payable upon demand or in one year
or less during the proceeding calendar month. Liquid assets for the purpose of
this ratio include cash, certain time deposits, U.S. Government, government
agency, and corporate securities and other obligations generally having
remaining maturities of less than five years. The Bank has historically
maintained its liquidity ratio at levels in excess of those required. At March
31, 1997, the Bank's liquidity ratio was 5.37%.
<PAGE>
Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term responsibility of management.
The Bank adjusts its investments in liquid assets based upon management's
assessment of (i) expected loan demand, (ii) expected deposit flows, (iii)
yields available on interest-bearing deposits, and (iv) the objective of its
asset/liability management program. Excess liquidity is invested generally in
interest-bearing overnight deposits and other short-term government and agency
obligations. If the Bank requires funds beyond its ability to generate them
internally, it has additional borrowing capacity with the FHLB of Des Moines and
collateral eligible for reverse repurchase agreements.
The Bank anticipates that it will have sufficient funds available to meet
current loan commitments. At March 31, 1997, the Bank had outstanding
commitments to extend credit which amounted to $405,000.
