Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation
The following discussion is designed to provide a review of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of Valley Ridge Financial Corp. (the "Corporation"). This discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes.
Forward-Looking Statements:
This discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, and other sections of this report, contain forward-looking statements that are based on management's beliefs, assumptions, current expectations, estimates and projections about the financial services industry, the economy, and about the Corporation itself. Words such as "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "judgment," "expects," "forecasts," "intends," "is likely," "plans," "predicts," "projects," variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions ("Risk Factors") that are difficult to predict with regard to timing, extent, likelihood and degree of occurrence. Therefore, actual results and outcomes may materially differ from what may be expressed, implied or forecasted in such forward-looking statements.
Risk Factors include, but are not limited to, changes in interest rates and interest rate relationships; demand for products and services; the degree of competition by traditional and non-traditional competitors; changes in banking regulations; changes in tax laws; changes in prices, levies and assessments; the impact of technological advances and issues; governmental and regulatory policy changes; the outcomes of pending and future litigation and contingencies; trends in customer behavior as well as their ability to repay loans; and changes in the national economy. These are representative of the Risk Factors that could cause a difference between an ultimate actual outcome and a preceding forward-looking statement. The Corporation undertakes no obligation to update, amend or clarify forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Results of Operations:
Net Income: The Corporation reported net income of $566,509 or $.60 per share for the second quarter of 2000 compared to $494,155 or $.53 per share for the second quarter of 1999. Year-to-date net income was $970,580 or $1.03 per share for 2000 compared to $937,669 or $1.01 per share for 1999. The improvement was primarily a result of improved net interest income, partially offset by an decrease in noninterest income and increased in noninterest expense.
Net Interest Income: Net interest income increased $183,000 or 5.4% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2000 and $98,000 or 5.7% to $1,820,215 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2000 compared to the same periods in 1999. The increase in net interest income is primarily attributable to an increase in gross loans of $636,050 and an increase in interest rates from June 30, 1999 to June 30, 2000.
Provision for Loan Losses: The provision for loan losses represents the adjustment to the allowance for loan losses needed to maintain the allowance at a level determined by management to cover inherent losses within the Corporation's loan
portfolio. The allowance for loan losses is based on the application of projected loss ratios to the risk-ratings of loans, both individually and by category. Projected loss ratios incorporate such factors as recent loss experience, current economic
conditions and trends, trends in past due and impaired loans, and risk characteristics of various categories and concentrations of loans. The provision increased slightly to $90,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and $45,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 2000 compared to $75,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and $37,500
Noninterest Income: Noninterest income for the three months ended June 30, 2000 was approximately $415459,000 as compared to approximately $420421,000 for the same period in 1999. Noninterest income for the six months ended June 30, 2000 slightly decreased increased to approximately $797842,000 from approximately $800,000 at June 30, 1999. The decrease is attributable in part to lower than expected gains from loan sales.The increase is attributable in part to an increase in ATM fees, as well as an increase due to profitability of the Bank's subsidiary, Valley Ridge Realty, Inc.
Noninterest Expense: Noninterest expense increased to approximately $1.52 6 million and $3.10 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000 compared to approximately $1.47 5 million and $2.9 million for the same periods in 1999. Salaries and benefits increased 4% from $750,505 for the three months ended June 30, 1999 to $779,782 for the same period in 2000, and increased 2.5% from $1,527,583 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 to $1,565,312 for the same period in 2000. Furniture and fixtures expenses increased approximately $1720,000 to $247,2229,615 at for the six months ended June 30, 2000 due to the purchase of a new file server in Marchduring 2000. Other expenses increased from $936,046 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 to $1,070,293112,425 for the same period in 2000, due to increases in supplies expense and professional fees.
Financial Condition, Liquidity, and Capital Resources:
Total assets decreased 2.9% or $4.8 million to approximately $162.1 million at June 30, 2000 compared to approximately $166.9 million at December 31, 1999. Total liabilities decreased 3.3% or $5.1 million to approximately $147.2 million at June 30, 2000 compared to approximately $152.3 million at December 31, 1999. Total stockholders' shareholders' equity increased by approximately $297,000 to $14,859,910 at June 30, 2000. The increase in shareholders' equity is primarily related to the retention of earnings after dividend payouts offset by an increase in the unrealized loss on securities available for sale.
Total loans increased approximately $1.08 million or 1% to approximately $117.9 million at June 30, 2000. Deposits decreased approximately $2.3 million or 2.0% to approximately $117 million at June 30, 2000. The net loan to deposit ratio increased to 99.34% at June 30, 2000 from 96.5% at December 31, 1999. The allowance for loan losses increased approximately $12,000 at during the first six months of June 30, 2000, while maintaining a reserve of 1.038% of outstanding loans.
The Corporation paid dividends of $317,245 during the six months ended June 30, 2000, compared to $311,287 paid during the same period in 1999. The Board of Directors approved a three-for-two stock split, which was paid on April 26, 2000.
Shareholders' equity as a percent of total assets was 9.17% at June 30, 2000 compared to 8.73% at December 31, 1999. The Corporation's capital ratios continue to exceed the minimum regulatory levels prescribed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve SystemFederal Reserve Board.
Total cash and cash equivalents and investment securities totaled approximately $36.4 million at June 30, 2000 or about 18.422.5% of total assets. Deposits decreased 2.0% during the first six months of 2000, but management believes its deposit base will remain a stable source of funds for the remainder of 2000. Other sources of funding include normal loan repayments, sales and maturities of securities, federal funds available from correspondent banks, and additional advances available from the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB). As of June 30, 2000, the Corporation had outstanding advances from the FHLB totaling $24.75 million. Management believes that the current level of liquidity is sufficient to meet the normal operating needs of the Bank.
