Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1 - Basis of Presentation
The financial statements of Falmouth Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company")
and its subsidiaries presented herein are unaudited and should be read in
conjunction with the financial statements of the Company as of March 31,
2000 and September 30, 1999. The results of operations for the three-month
period ended March 31, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results
to be expected for the full year. All material intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of
management, the financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting
solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation
of results for the interim periods.
Note 2 - Accounting Policies
The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to
generally accepted accounting principles and prevailing practices within
the banking industry. The interim financial information should be read in
conjunction with the Company's 1999 Annual Report contained on Form 10-KSB.
Management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect
amounts reported in the financial statements. Actual results could differ
significantly from those estimates.
Note 3 - Earnings per Share
In February 1997, the FASB issued Statement 128 "Earnings Per Share."
Statement 128 supersedes APB Opinion No. 15, "Earnings Per Share," and
specifies the computation, presentation and disclosure requirements for
earnings per share (EPS) for entities with publicly held common stock or
potential common stock. It replaces the presentation of primary EPS with
the presentation of basic EPS, and replaces fully diluted EPS with diluted
EPS. It also requires dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the
face of the income statement for all entities with complex capital
structures, and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator
of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the
diluted EPS calculation. EPS for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 and 1999
have been calculated according to the guidelines of Statement 128. ESOP
shares are only considered outstanding for earnings per share calculations
when they are committed to be released.
Reconciliation of the numerators and the denominators of the basic
and diluted per share comparisons for net income are as follows:

Note 4 - Dividends
On February 15, 2000 the Board of Directors of the Company declared a
quarterly cash dividend of $0.08 per share of common stock, which was paid
to stockholders of record on March 10, 2000.
Note 5 - Recent Developments
During the quarter ended March 31, 2000, the Company repurchased
10,000 shares of its common stock. At March 31, 2000, the Company had
407,612 treasury shares.
Effective December 17, 1999, the Falmouth Co-operative Bank
established a subsidiary, Falmouth Capital Corporation, a Real Estate
Investment Trust, as part of managing its tax plan.
Part I. Item 2. Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Operating Results
General
Falmouth Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company" or "Bancorp"), a Delaware
corporation, is the holding company for Falmouth Co-operative Bank (the
"Bank" or "Falmouth"), a Massachusetts chartered stock co-operative bank.
At March 31, 2000, there were 1,047,138 shares outstanding. The Company's
stock trades on the American Stock Exchange under the symbol "FCB".
The Company's sole business activity is ownership of the Bank. The
Company also makes investments in long and short-term marketable securities
and other liquid investments. The business of the Bank consists of
attracting deposits from the general public and local businesses and using
these funds to originate primarily residential and commercial real estate
loans located in Falmouth, Massachusetts and surrounding areas and to
invest in United States Government and Agency securities. To a lesser
extent, the Bank engages in various forms of consumer and home equity
lending. The Bank's business strategy is to operate as a profitable
community bank dedicated to financing home ownership, small business, and
consumer needs in its market area and to provide personal, high quality
service to its customers. The Bank has two subsidiaries, Falmouth
Securities Corporation, a Massachusetts corporation, which was established
solely for the purpose of acquiring and holding investments that are
permissible for banks to hold under Massachusetts's law and Falmouth
Capital Corporation, a real estate investment trust.
Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 2000 and September 30, 1999.
The Company's total assets increased by $2.9 million or 2.44% for the
six months ended March 31, 2000, from $118.7 million at September 30, 1999
to $121.6 million at March 31, 2000. Total deposits increased $6.1 million
or 6.58%, from $92.9 million at September 30, 1999 to $99.0 million at
March 31, 2000. This increase was due, in part, to marketing efforts to
obtain retail and commercial checking accounts as well as a limited
offering of one-year certificates of deposit accounts at competitive rates.
Net loans were $89.8 million or 90.73% of total deposits at March 31, 2000,
as compared to $80.5 million or 86.65% of total deposits at September 30,
1999, representing an increase of $9.3 million. This increase is due, in
part, to the continued strong local real estate market and the Bank's
commitment to increase market share. Investment securities were $19.9
million or 16.37% of total assets at March 31, 2000, as compared to $27.5
million or 23.18% of total assets at September 30, 1999. Investment
securities decreased $7.6 million due, in part, to fund loans, pay down
short-term borrowings, as well as to purchase treasury shares.
Borrowed funds from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston have
decreased from $5.4 million at September 30, 1999 to $3.5 million at March
31, 2000. The decrease of $1.9 million was the result of utilizing maturing
securities to repay debt. The securities had been scheduled to mature and
provide liquidity, if needed, in early 2000.
Securities sold under an agreement to repurchase (sweep accounts for
commercial depositors) increased from $858,000 at September 30, 1999 to
$1.1 million at March 31, 2000. The increase was attributed to the
increased liquidity in selected commercial deposit accounts at March 31,
2000.
Stockholders' equity was $17.7 million at March 31, 2000, as compared
to $19.3 million at September 30, 1999, a decrease of $1.6 million. This
change was primarily the result of an increase in retained earnings of
$375,000, which was off-set by treasury shares purchased of $2.1 million
under the Company's stock repurchase programs. The ratio of stockholders
equity to total assets was 14.6% at March 31, 2000, and the book value per
share of common stock was $16.94, compared to 16.23% and $16.38,
respectively, at September 30, 1999.
The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans was .69% at
March 31, 2000. Management believes the allowance will be adequate based
upon, among other things, past loss experience, prevailing economic
conditions, and the level of credit risk in the loan portfolio. However,
the Bank may periodically provide additional provisions as deemed necessary
to maintain a sufficient allowance for the loan loss to total loan ratio.
The Bank added $30,000 to the allowance during the six month period ended
March 31, 2000. The Bank plans to continue to set aside additional
specific reserves for commercial loans and large residential mortgages.
Comparison of Operating Results
Three Months Ended March 31, 2000 and 1999
Net Income. The Company's net income for the three months ended
March 31, 2000, was $261,000 as compared to $207,000 at March 31, 1999.
The increase in net income of $54,000 was primarily due to an increase in
interest and dividend income of $104,000, an increase in other income of
$41,000, and a decrease in income taxes of $85,000, offset, in part, by an
increase in other expenses of $130,000, and an increase in interest
expenses of $40,000. The annualized return on average assets (ROA) for the
three months ended March 31, 2000 was 0.90%, an increase of 17 basis
points, as compared to 0.73% for the same period of the prior year.
Interest and Dividend Income. Total interest and dividend income for
the three months ended March 31, 2000 was $1,950,000, an increase of
$104,000 as compared to $1,846,000 for the three-month period ended March
31, 1999. The increase in interest and dividend income was attributable to
the increase in the loan portfolio that provided an increase in interest
and fee income of $165,000 and dividends on marketable equity securities
of $2,000, which was off-set by a decrease in interest and dividends on
securities of $6,000, a decrease in dividends on Cooperative Bank
Investment funds of $35,000, and a decrease in other interest of $22,000.
Interest Expense. Total interest expense for the three months ended
March 31, 2000 was $874,000, as compared to $834,000 for the same period of
the prior year, for an increase of $40,000. This was the result of
increased deposits as well as slightly higher interest rates.
Net Interest and Dividend Income. Net interest and dividend income
for the three-month period ended March 31, 2000 was $1,076,000 as compared
to $1,013,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1999. The increase of
$63,000 was the result of a $104,000 increase in interest and dividend
income, offset, in part, with a $40,000 increase in interest expense. The
net interest margin for the three months ended March 31, 2000 was 3.72%, a
decrease of 4 basis points, as compared to 3.76% for the three months ended
March 31, 1999. The decrease in net interest margin was primarily the
result of increased interest expense.
Provision for loan losses. The Bank added $18,000 to its provision
for loan losses during the quarter ended March 31, 2000. Management
believes that, although the provision is deemed adequate based on its
delinquency and loan loss history, additional provisions may be added from
time to time as the loan portfolio expands by loan type and volume,
including the expansion of the commercial loan portfolio. At March 31,
2000, the bank has recorded a consumer loan loss of $2,000, one consumer
loan of $3,000 classified as loss, and no loans classified as doubtful.
Other Income. Other income for the three-month period ended March
31, 2000 was $200,000, as compared to $159,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1999. The $41,000 increase was primarily the result of an
increase in net gains realized from the sale of investment securities of
$82,000, an increase in other income of $11,000, and an increase in service
charge income of $5,000, partially offset by a decrease in gains on
mortgages sold of $57,000.
Operating Expenses. Operating expenses for the three months ended
March 31, 2000 were $860,000, as compared to $730,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1999. The $130,000 increase was primarily due to the
combination of an increase in salaries and employee benefits of $31,000, an
increase in legal and professional costs of $26,000, an increase in other
expenses of $70,000, an increase in data processing fees of $5,000, and an
increase in equipment expense of $1,000, offset, in part by a decrease in
occupancy expense of $2,000 and a decrease in directors' fees of $1,000.
The annualized ratio of operating expenses to average total assets for the
three months ended March 31, 2000 was 2.95%, as compared to 2.56% for the
three-month period ended March 31, 1999, an increase of 39 basis points.
The increase in other operating expenses was due, primarily, to the
formation of a Real Estate Investment Trust, a subsidiary of the Falmouth
Co-operative Bank, as part of the Company's tax management planning.
Six Months Ended March 31, 2000 and 1999
Net Income. The Company's net income for the six months ended March
31, 2000 was $538,000 as compared to $379,000 at March 31, 1999, an increase
of 41.96% or $159,000. Total interest and dividend income increased
$158,000, or 4.26% due, primarily, to increased loan activity. This gain was
off set by increases in interest expense and operating costs. Security gains
net, amounted to $221,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2000, as
compared to $67,000 for six months ended March 31, 1999, an increase of
$154,000. The current economic environment has facilitated Bank management's
goal to increase mortgage loans funded by investment securities and low cost
borrowings.
Interest and Dividend Income. Total interest and dividend income for
the six months ended March 31, 2000 was $3.9 million, an increase of $158,000
as compared to $3.7 million for the six month period ended March 31, 1999.
The increase in interest and dividend income is attributable to growth in the
loan portfolio that provided for an increase in interest and fee income of
$228,000. This was partially offset by an increase in income on investment
securities of $20,000, a $65,000 decrease in dividends on the Co-operative
Bank Investment Fund, and a decrease in other interest of $25,000. Management
expects income derived from loan assets to continue to increase in the form
of interest, fees and gains on the sale of loans, with interest on
investments remaining relatively constant.
Interest Expense. Interest expense for the six months ending March 31,
2000 was $1.7 million, which includes $159,000 in interest on FHLB advances,
an increase of $25,000 from $1.7 million for the six months ended March 31,
1999. There was a $35,000 increase in interest on deposits and a $10,000
decrease in interest on borrowed funds. Additional interim borrowings may be
utilized as a source of loan funding; however it is not expected to be
necessary.
Net Interest and Dividend Income. Net interest income for the six-
month period ending March 31, 2000 was $2.1 million as compared to $2.0
million for the six months ended March 31, 1999. The net interest margin for
the six months ended March 31, 2000 was 3.78%, an increase of 9 basis points
as compared to 3.69% for the six months ended March 31, 1999. The annualized
return on average assets (ROA) for the six month period ended March 31, 2000
was .92%, an increase of 25 basis points, as compared to .67% for the same
period of the prior year. The primary reason for the decrease in the ROA was
primarily due to the growth of assets in the loan portfolio during the
period.
Provision for Loan Losses. The Bank added $30,000 to its allowance for
loan loss account for the six months ended March 31, 2000, to compensate for
the increase in the dollar amount of the loan portfolio. Management believes
the provision to be adequate and believes the level of credit risk to be
comparable to the prior reporting period.
Other Income. Other income for the six-month period ending March 31,
2000 was $400,000 as compared to $268,000 for the six months ended March 31,
1999. The $132,000 increase is primarily the result of $67,000 in securities
gains net, on the sale of investment securities taken during the six months
ended March 31, 1999, as compared to $221,000 for the six months ended March
31, 2000. Sales have been made and gains were taken on several equity
securities when the market was favorable to do so. The period ended March
31, 2000 also showed $2,000 in gains on the sale of loans. There was $57,000
in gains on the sale of loans for the same period of the previous year.
Operating Expenses. Operating expenses for the six months ended March
31, 2000 were $1.6 million as compared to $1.5 million for the six months
ended March 31, 1999. The $182,000 increase was primarily due to an increase
in salaries and employee benefits of $36,000, an increase in other operating
expenses of $103,000, an increase of legal and professional fees of $37,000
an increase in data processing expense of $1,000 and an increase in occupancy
and equipment expenses of $5,000. The increase on legal & professional fees
and other operating expenses were primarily the result of the formation of
the Bank's Real Estate Investment Trust as part of the Bank's tax planning.
The ratio of annualized operating expenses to average total assets for the
six months ended March 31, 2000 was 2.79% as compared to 2.56% for the six-
month period ended March 31, 1999.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Bank's primary sources of funds consist of deposits, repayment
and prepayment of loans and mortgaged-backed securities, maturities of
investments and interest-bearing deposits, and funds provided from
operations. While scheduled repayments of loans and mortgage-backed
securities and maturities of investment securities are predictable sources
of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by the
general level of interest rates, economic conditions and competition. The
Bank uses its liquidity resources principally to fund existing and future
loan commitments, to fund net deposit outflows, to invest in other
interest-earning assets, to maintain liquidity, and to meet operating
expenses.
The Bank is required to maintain adequate levels of liquid assets.
This guideline, which may be varied depending upon economic conditions and
deposit flows, is based upon a percentage of deposits and short-term
borrowings. The Bank has historically maintained a level of liquid assets
in excess of regulatory requirements. The Bank's liquidity ratio at March
31, 2000 was 26.48%.
A major portion of the Bank's liquidity consists of short-term
securities obligations. The level of these assets is dependent on the
Bank's operating, investing, lending and financing activities during any
given period. At March 31, 2000, regulatory liquidity totaled $102.4
million. The primary investing activities of the Bank include origination
of loans and the purchase of investment securities.
Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of
management. If the Bank requires funds beyond its ability to generate them
internally, the Bank believes that it could borrow additional funds from
the FHLB of Boston. At March 31, 2000, the Bank had outstanding advances
from the FHLB of Boston in the amount of $3.5 million in short and long-
term borrowings. As these advances mature, they will be repaid or re-
written as longer term matched borrowings which will assist the match of
rate sensitive assets to rate sensitive liabilities.
At March 31, 2000, the Bank had $9.6 million in outstanding
residential and commercial commitments to originate loans, as well as $14.0
million in unadvanced loan commitments. If the Bank anticipates that it
may not have sufficient funds available to meet its current loan
commitments it may commence further matched borrowing from the Federal Home
Loan Bank of Boston. Certificates of deposit that are scheduled to mature
in one year or less totaled $38.6 million at March 31, 2000. Based on
historical experience, management believes that a significant portion of
such deposits will remain with the Bank.
At March 31, 2000 the Bank exceeded all of its regulatory capital
requirements.
