NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Vermilion Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated on November 13,
1996 and on March 25, 1997 acquired all of the outstanding shares of common
stock of American Savings Bank of Danville (the "Bank") upon the Bank's
conversion from a state chartered mutual savings bank to a state chartered
stock savings bank. The Company purchased 100% of the outstanding capital
stock of the Bank using 75% of the net proceeds from the Company's initial
stock offering, which was completed on March 25, 1997. The Company sold
396,750 shares of common stock in the initial offering at $10 per share,
including 31,740 shares purchased by the Bank's Employee Stock Ownership Plan
("ESOP"). The ESOP shares were acquired by the Bank with proceeds from a
Company loan totaling $317,400. The net proceeds of the offering totaled
$3,632,522: $3,967,500 less $334,978 in underwriting commissions and other
expenses.
The acquisition of the Bank by the Company was accounted for as a
"pooling-of-interests" under generally accepted accounting principles. The
application of the pooling-of-interests method records the assets and
liabilities of the merged companies on a historical cost basis with no goodwill
or other intangible assets being recorded.
2. STATEMENT OF INFORMATION FURNISHED
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with Form 10-QSB instructions and Item 310(b) of
Regulation S-B, and in the opinion of management contain all adjustments
necessary to present fairly the financial position as of June 30, 1999 and
September 30, 1998, the results of operations for the Nine months ended
June 30, 1999 and 1998, the results of operations for the three months ended
June 30, 1999 and 1998, and the cash flows for the nine months ended
June 30, 1999 and 1998, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income
for the nine months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 and the consolidated
statement of comprehensive income for the three months ended June 30, 1999
and 1998. These results have been determined on the
basis of generally accepted accounting principles. The results of operations
for the nine months ended June 30, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of
the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year.
The consolidated financial statements are those of the Company and the
Bank. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the audited financial statements and notes thereto dated October 20, 1998
included in the Company's 1998 Annual Report to Shareholders.
3. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share have been computed based upon the weighted average
common shares outstanding for the three months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 and
for the nine months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998. Diluted earnings per share
reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other
contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock
or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings
of the company.
PART 1. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Vermilion Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") is the holding company for American
Savings Bank of Danville (the "Bank"). The Bank operates a wholly owned
subsidiary, GBW Service Corporation, which services contract sales of real
estate.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Total assets increased $426,000 from September 30, 1998 to June 30,
1999 or 0.9% reflecting an increase in net loans of $1.9 million, an increase
in interest bearing demand deposits of $1.1 million, and an increase in premises
and equipment of $146,000 offset by a $2.9 million reduction in total investment
securities.
Cash and cash equivalents increased $1.2 million from September 30, 1998
to June 30, 1999 or 68.5%. Cash and due from banks increased $57,000 or 106.5%
which reflects the increase cash on hand needed to operate the new branch
facility. Interest-bearing demand deposits increased $1.1 million or 67.3%. This
reflects funds being held from investments securities that matured during the
quarter ended June 30, 1999. These funds were reinvested in investment
securities in July, 1999.
The $2.9 million or 56.1% decline in total investment securities from
September 30, 1998 to June 30, 1999 was the result of the sale of investment
securities to fund the stock repurchase that was done in February, 1999, the
maturity of investment securities discussed in the preceding paragraph, and
management's continued emphasis on reinvesting proceeds from investment
securities paydowns and maturities in the Bank's loan portfolio.
The $1.9 million or 5.7% increase in net loans from September 30, 1998
to June 30, 1999 was primarily the result of an increase in mortgage loans.
Premises and equipment increased $146,000 or 10.8% from September 30,
1998 to June 30, 1999 which reflects the final payment on the construction
of the new branch facility.
Total deposits increased $1.6 million or 5.3% from September 30, 1998 to
June 30, 1999 which reflects the new deposits being generated at the new
branch facility and the accumulation of interest on existing deposit
accounts.
Other liabilities decreased $292,000 or 64.8% from September 30, 1998
to June 30, 1999 primarily as a result of taxes payable.
Total stockholders' equity decreased $867,000 from September 30,
1998 to June 30, 1999, the decrease is summarized as follows:
Stockholders' equity, September 30, 1998..........................$6,321,282
Net income........................................................ (192,880)
Change in comprehensive income ................................... (21,870)

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
NINE MONTH COMPARISON
Net income/(loss) was $(192,880) for the nine months ended June 30, 1999
compared to net income of $172,094 for the nine months ended June 30, 1998.
American Savings Bank settled the lawsuit by a former officer of the Bank.
The lawsuit was discussed in the legal section of the 10KSB filed for
September, 1998 The decrease in earnings is primarily attributable to the
lawsuit settlement which had a net effect of decreasing income $325,000.
Net interest income after the provision for losses on loans increased
$57,000 in the nine months ended June 30, 1999 compared to the same
period in 1998. Total interest income increased $148,000 or 6.5% from $2.3
million for the nine months ended June 30, 1998 to $2.4 million for the
same period in 1999. The increase was attributable to a $203,000
or 10.5% increase in interest income from loan receivables which increased
from $1.9 million for the nine months ended June 30, 1998 to $2.1 million for
the same period in 1999, a $49,000 or 101.2% increase in interest on deposits
with financial institutions during the same period offset by a decline in
interest on investment securities of $105,000 or 36.2%. Total interest expense
increased $88,000 or 6.6% from $1.3 million to $1.4 million for the comparable
period in 1999. This increase was primarily attributable to a $83,000 or 49.8%
increase in interest expense on FHLB borrowings from the quarter ended June 30,
1998 compared to the same quarter in 1999 which was attributable to a higher
average of borrowings outstanding.
The provision for loan losses was $43,000 for the nine months
ended June 30, 1999 compared to $40,000 for the same period in 1998. The
provision corresponds with the growth in the loan portfolio. While
management of the Bank believes that the allowance for loan losses is sufficient
based on information currently available, no assurances can be made that future
events or conditions or regulatory directives will not result in increased
provisions for loan losses or additions to the Bank's allowance for loan losses
which may adversely affect net income.
Non-interest income increased $56,000 or 133.7% for the nine month period
ended June 30, 1999 compared to the same period of 1998, primarily due to
a $17,000 increase in loan fees, a $16,000 increase in service charge income
(which is included in the other income amount), an $11,000 gain on the sale of
available for sale securities, and a $12,000 gain on the sale of real estate.
Total non-interest expense increased $656,000 or 98.6% for the nine months
ended June 30, 1999 compared to the same period of 1998, due primarily to
the lawsuit settlement of $500,000 and an increase in salaries and employee
benefits of $80,000 or 28.3% which reflects the opening of the new branch
facility, and a $34,000 or 77.9% increase in net data processing expense which
reflects the cost converting data processors. Printing and office supplies
increased $9,000 or 102.3% in conjunction with the conversion to a new data
processor and other expenses increased $13,000 or 15.7% due to increased travel
and training expense on the conversion to a new data processor.
Total income tax expense reflects a benefit of $78,000 for the nine
months ended June 30, 1999 compared to a $100,000 expense for the same period
in 1998, reflecting the lawsuit settlement. The effective tax rate was 28.9%
for the 1999 period as compared to 36.6% for the 1998 period.
THREE MONTH COMPARISON
Net income(loss) decreased $19,000 or 78.2% from $24,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 1998 compared to $5,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 1999. The decrease in earnings is primarily
due to expenses incurred to convert to a new data processor.
Net interest income after the provision for losses on loans decreased
$10,000 or 3.4% in the three months ended June 30, 1999 compared to the same
period in 1998. Loan receivable income increased $18,000 or 2.7% and interest
on deposits at financial institutions increased $18,000 or 93.7%. These
increases were offset by a decline in investment security interest of $45,000
or 48.2%. The increase in loan receivable interest and decline in investment
securities interest is a direct result of management's emphasis of increasing
loans outstanding and funding them with proceeds from investment security
proceeds and FHLB borrowings and reflects the sale of securities to fund the
repurchase of common stock that took place in February, 1999.
The provision for loan losses was $15,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 1999 and for the the three months ended June 30, 1998. The
provision corresponds with the growth in the loan portfolio. While
management of the Bank believes that the allowance for loan losses is sufficient
based on information currently available, no assurances can be made that future
events or conditions or regulatory directives will not result in increased
provisions for loan losses or additions to the Bank's allowance for loan losses
which may adversely affect net income.
Non-interest income increased $16,000 or 115.5% for the three month period
ended June 30, 1999 compared to the same period of 1998, due to a $4,000
increase in loan fees and a $10,000 increase in service charge income.
Total non-interest expense increased $8,000 or 3.1% for the
three months ended June 30, 1999 compared to the same period of 1998, due
primarily to $17,000 in salary and employee benefits and an increase of
$5,000 in net occupancy expense both of which reflect the opening
of the new branch facility. Directors and committee fees decreased by $15,000
or 46.4% and legal and professional fees decreased 28,000 or 86.4%.
Total income tax expense was $58,000 for the three months ended June
30, 1999 compared to $41,000 for the same period in 1998. The increase in
income tax expense was due to the change in management's estimate of the tax
benefit of the year to date net loss.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Bank's primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest
payments on loans and FHLB advances. While maturities and scheduled amortization
of loans are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and mortgage
prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic
conditions, and competition. The Company's initial stock offering, which was
completed on March 25, 1997, contributed substantially to the Company's overall
liquidity levels. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"), the
Bank's primary Federal regulator, requires the Bank to maintain adequate levels
of liquid assets. The Bank's liquidity ratios were 14.4% and 18.8% at
June 30, 1999 and September 30, 1998, respectively.
A review of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows included in the
accompanying financial statements shows that the Company's cash and cash
equivalents ("cash") increased $1.2 million from September 30, 1998 to June 30,
1999. During the first nine months of fiscal 1999, cash was primarily provided
by proceeds from investment securities and increases in deposits. Cash was
primarily used in fiscal 1999 to fund loans and repurchase stock. Cash
increased $952,000 from September 30, 1997 to June 30, 1998. The increase
in cash during the first nine months of fiscal 1998 resulted from FHLB
borrowingsand increases in deposits offset by cash used to fund loans and pay
for the construction of the new branch facility.
As, of June 30, 1999, the Bank had outstanding commitments
(including undisbursed loan proceeds) of $528,000. The Bank anticipates
that it will have sufficient funds available to meet its current loan
origination commitments. Certificates of deposit which are scheduled to mature
in one year or less from June 30, 1999 totaled $15.4 million. Based upon
the Bank's experience, management believes that a significant portion of such
deposits will remain with the Bank.
The FDIC capital regulations require savings institutions to meet three
capital standards: a tier 1 leveraged capital requirement, a tier one
risk-based capital requirement, and a total risked based capital requirement.
As of June 30, 1999, the Bank's capital percentages for tier 1 leveraged
capital of 11.64%, tier 1 risked based capital of 21.02%, and total risk-
based capital of 21.7% which significantly exceeded the regulatory requirement
for each category.
"Safe Harbor" Statement under the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995
In addition to historical information, forward-looking statements are
contained herein that are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause
actual results to differ materially from those reflected in the forward-looking
statements. Factors that could cause future results to vary from current
expectations, include, but are not limited to, the impact of economic conditions
(both generally and more specifically in the markets in which the Company
operates), the impact of competition for the Company's customers from other
providers of financial services, the impact of government legislation and
regulation (which changes from time to time and over which the Company has no
control), and other risks detailed in this Form10-QSB and in the Company's other
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") filings. Readers are cautioned not
to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect
management's analysis only as of the date hereof. The Company undertakes no
obligation to publicly revise these forward-looking statements, to reflect
events or circumstances that arise after the date hereof. Readers should
carefully review the risk factors described in other documents the Company
files from time to time with the SEC.
Current Accounting Issues
During 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities." This Statement requires companies to record derivatives on the
balance sheet at their fair market value. Statement No. 133 also acknowledges
that the method for recording a gain or loss depends on the use of the
derivative.
The new Statement applies to all entities. If hedge accounting is elected
by the entity, the method of assessing the effectiveness of the hedging
derivative and the measurement approach of determining the hedge's
ineffectiveness must be established at the inception of the hedge.
Statement No. 133 amends Statement No. 52 and supercedes Statement No. 80,
105 and 119. Statement No. 107 is amended to include the disclosure
provisions about the concentrations of credit risk from Statement No. 105.
Several Emerging Issues Task Force consensuses are also changed or modified
by the provisions of Statement No. 133.
Statement No. 133 will be effective for all the fiscal years beginning after
June 15, 1999. The Statement may not be applied retroactively to financial
statements of prior periods. The adoption of the statement will have no
material impact on the Corporation's financial condition or result of
operations.
Accounting for Mortgage-Backed Securities Retained After the Securitization
of Mortgage Loans Held for Sale by a Mortgage Banking Enterprise
Also in 1998, the FASB issued Statement No. 134, "Accounting for Mortgage-
Back Securities Retained After the Securitization of Mortgage Loans Held
for Sale by a Mortgage Banking Enterprise." It establishes accounting standards
for certain activities of mortgage banking enterprises and for other
enterprises with similar mortgage operations. This Statement amends Statement
No. 65.
Statement No. 65, as previously amended by the Statement No. 115 and 125,
required a mortgage banking enterprise to classify a mortgage-backed security
as a trading security following the securitization of the mortgage loan held
for sale. This Statement further amends Statement No. 65 to require that
after the securitization of the mortgage loans held for sale, an entity engaged
in mortgage banking activities must classify the resulting mortgage-backed
security or other retained interests based on the entity's ability and intent
to sell or hold those investments.
The determination of the appropriate classification for securities retained
after the securitization of mortgage loans by a mortgage banking enterprise
now conforms to Statement No. 115. The only new requirement is that if an
entity has sales commitment in place, the security must be classified into
trading.
This Statement is effective for the first fiscal quarter beginning after
December 15, 1998. On the date of the Statement is initially applied, an entity
may classify mortgage-backed securities and other beneficial interests
retained after the securitization of mortgage loans held for sale from the
trading category, except for those with sales commitments in place. those
securities and other interests shall be classified based on the entity's
present ability and intent to hold the investments. The adoption of this
Statement will have no material impact on the Company's financial condition
and results of operations.
Year 2000 Compliance
The Year 2000 compliance issue exists because many computer systems and
applications currently use two digit fields to designate a year. As the
century date change occurs, date sensitive systems may either fail or not
operate properly unless the underlying programs are modified or replaced.
The Bank's lending and deposit activities, like those of most financial
institutions, depend significantly upon computer systems to process and
record transactions. The Company is aware of the potential Year 2000
problems that may affect the operating systems that control our computers as
well as those of our third-party data service providers that maintain many of
our records. In 1997, the Bank began the process of identifying Year 2000
related problems that may affect the Bank's computer systems. A task force of
Bank officers was established to address the issues related to these problems.
Outside consultants have and will be utilized when required to complete
this project.
The task force analyzed the Bank's operations and both identified those
functions that would be affected by Year 2000 issues and determined which of
these functions were mission critical (i.e. vital to the day-to-day operations
of the Bank). A time table was established for completion of the various
sections of the project.
The Bank is working with the companies that supply or service the Bank's
computer systems that rely on computers to identify and remedy any Year 2000
related systems. The Board of Directors is monitoring the Bank's progress
in addressing Year 2000 issues.
The Bank converted to a new data processor during May 1999 and completed
its year 2000 testing of the system in July 1999 with no apparent year 2000
related problems being found.
Inventory and testing of the Bank's computer equipment is complete. No
new equipment purchases are anticipated because of the Year 2000 issue.
The direct expense to date (other than officer's salaries involved in
the project) has been less than $20,000.
Although the Company believes it is taking the necessary steps to
address the Year 2000 compliance issue, no assurances can be given that some
problems will not occur or that we will not incur significant additional
expenses in future periods. In the event that the Bank incurs substantial
expenses to make the Bank's current systems, programs and equipment Year
2000 compliant, the Company's net income, and financial condition could be
adversely affected.
Because the Bank's loan portfolio to individual borrowers is
diversified and its market area does not depend significantly upon one
employer or industry, the Bank does not expect any Year 2000 related
difficulties to significantly affect the Company's net earnings or cash
flow.
The Bank has developed a contingency plan to deal with Year 2000
related issues. This program provides for dealing with situations
that might occur that are both related to the Bank's operations (e.g.
computer systems or equipment, liquidity) and those beyond the Bank's
control (e,g. power failure, phone/communication line failure). The
plan will include methods to deal with these situations and continue
to service the Bank's customers despite Year 2000 problems arising.
PART 2. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
On December 30, 1992, Rosemary Frobose, a former officer of
the Bank, filed a lawsuit against the Bank in the United States
District Court, Central District of Illinois, alleging that she
was the victim of a retaliatory discharge based on common law
rights and the federal "whistleblower statute," 12
USC ' 1831j(a). The plaintiff sought compensatory and
punitive damages against American Savings Bank of Danville, f/k/a
American Savings and Loan Association based upon her loss
of income and employment for at least a ten-year
period. Although she did seek a specific dollar amount in her
Complaint, at one point she did make a demand of $900,000.
Trial on this lawsuit commenced in April of 1999. During the
trial a settlement was reached which resulted in payment by the
Bank of $500,000.
