NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
Item 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
Basis of Presentation
- ---------------------
The financial statements included herein have been prepared by the
Company,
without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and
regulations. However, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to
make the information presented not misleading. These condensed financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes
thereto for the year ended December 31, 1999, included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-KSB.
The unaudited condensed financial statements included herein reflect
all
adjustments (which include only normal, recurring adjustments), which are, in
the opinion of management, necessary to state fairly the results for the three
months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999. The results of the interim periods are
not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year.
Comprehensive Income
- --------------------
Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" (SFAS
No. 130). SFAS No, 130 establishes standards for reporting and the display of
comprehensive income and its components. Comprehensive income is defined as the
change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and
other events and circumstances from nonowner sources. The Company's comprehen-
sive income (loss) consists of net earnings (loss) and unrealized gains (losses)
on securities available for sale and is presented as a separate component of
stockholders' equity.
Earnings Per Share
- ------------------
As a result of Common Stock equivalents being anti-dilutive, the
Company's
basic and diluted loss per common share are equal at March 31, 2000.
Item 2.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
---------------------------------------------------------------
Results of Operations
---------------------
General
- -------
The following discussion and related financial data for the Company
provides an overview of the financial condition and results of operations of
the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, which is presented on a
consolidated basis. The principal subsidiary is AmericasBANK. For the first
three months, the Company reported a loss of $(143,000) in 2000 and $(73,000) in
1999.
Return on average assets and return on average equity are key measures of
earnings performance. Return on average assets measures the ability of a bank to
utilize its assets in generating income. Annualized return (loss) on average
assets for the three months ended March 31, 2000 was (3.34)% compared to
(2.20)% for the same period in 1999.
The annualized return (loss) on average shareholder's equity, which
measures the income earned on the capital invested, for the three months ended
March 31, 2000, was (14.98)% compared to (8.48)% for the three months ended
March 31, 1999.
Net Interest Income
- -------------------
Net interest income represents the Company's gross profit from lending and
investment activities, and is the most significant component of the Company's
earnings. Net interest income is the difference between interest and related
fee income on earning assets (primarily loans and investments) and the cost of
funds (primarily deposits and short-term borrowings) supporting them. To
facilitate the analysis of net interest income, the attached table ("Average
Balances - Yields and Rates") is presented.
Net interest income for the first three months of 2000 totaled $154,000,
increasing 32.8% from the $116,000 recorded for the same period in 1999. The
Company's average interest-earning assets for the three months ending March 31,
2000, increased 33.0%, to $15,488,000, from $11,645,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1999. This increase in primarily funded by strong deposit
growth for the Towson Branch generating an additional $3,887,000 in the first
three months of 2000.
The Company's net interest margin was 3.99% and 4.04% for the first
quarter of 2000 and 1999 respectively. The net interest margin is impacted by
the change in the spread between yields on earning assets and rates paid on
interest-bearing liabilities. This spread decreased by 26 basis points in the
first quarter of 2000 when compared to the same period in the prior year. The
yield on earning assets increased from 7.49% to7.92%, while rates paid on
interest-bearing liabilities increased 69 basis points to 5.20%.
The Company's refocused lending strategy has been to concentrate primarily
on commercial and construction products since the conversion in September 1999
from a thrift to a commercial bank. This strategy has served to balance the
Company's loan portfolio between mortgages and commercial products. For the
quarter ended March 31, 2000, the loan portfolio consisted of approximately 51%
mortgages and 37% commercial loans. For the quarter ended March 31, 1999, the
loan portfolio consisted of approximately 67% mortgages and 14% commercial
loans. This change in the mix has afforded the Company the opportunity to
generate higher yielding loans, many of which will adjust with prime. A
refinancing run on the higher yielding mortgages within the loan portfolio
during the first quarter of 1999 largely offset this refocused lending strategy.
The yield on investments improved 64 basis points as management sought to
take advantage of what was deemed a favorable market in the first quarter of
2000. Excess liquidity was generated by the stronger than anticipated deposit
growth of the Towson Branch which management has deemed core deposits. These
funds were moved into investments of moderate term maturity that were offering
higher than average yields. The remainder of the excess liquidity from the
first quarter deposit growth has remained in federal funds which experienced an
increase in yield of 80 basis points over the same period for 1999.
Competition and increasing interest rates have caused a significant
increase in the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities. The Company operates
within a competitive market with many competitors of significantly larger size.
As the Federal Reserve moved to curb a robust economy throughout 2000, several
interest rate hikes have cause upward pressure on deposit rates. Many of the
Bank's competitors have been very aggressive in an attempt to gain market
share. The Company is currently implementing several strategies to offer
competitively priced products to its current and prospective customers.
Additionally, management has begun implementing several service enhancements
which it feels will sustain the Bank's deposit growth.
Non-interest Income
- -------------------
Non-interest income increased $5000, or 50.0% for the three months ended
March 31, 2000, when compared to the same period in 1999. This is primarily due
to loan fee income generated by loans held for sale activity. Beginning
mid-quarter, the Bank has associated with a mortgage company to fund a mortgage
wholesale line. The Bank realized $4,500 in fee income in the first quarter
2000, and expects to recognize additional gain as pools of mortgages are sold.
The Company's management is committed to developing and offering
innovative, market-driven products and services that will generate additional
sources of non-interest income. However, the future results of any of these
products or services cannot be predicted at this time.
Non-interest Expenses
- --------------------
Non-interest expenses increases 48.7% or $96,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 2000 when compared the first three months of 1999.
Total salaries and benefits increased $90,000 or 150% when first quarter
2000 is compared to the first quarter 1999. The Bank added two senior officers
including a senior lending officer and a chief financial officer, in addition to
staffing up the Towson Branch which opened in September 1999. The Branch
maintains a staff of six.
Allowance for Credit Losses and Problem Assets
- ----------------------------------------------
The allowance for loan losses represents a reserve for potential losses in
the loan portfolio. The adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is evaluated
periodically based on a review of all significant loans, with a particular
emphasis on non-accruing, past-due, impaired, and other loans that management
believes require attention. The determination of the reserve level rests upon
management's judgment about factors affecting loan quality and assumptions
about the economy. Management considers the quarter-end allowance appropriate
and adequate to cover possible losses in the loan portfolio; however,
management's judgment is based upon a number of assumptions about future
events, which are believed to be reasonable, but which may or may not prove
valid. Thus, there can be no assurance that charge-offs in future periods will
not exceed the allowance for loan loss or that additional increases in the loan
loss allowance will not be required.
The Bank uses a loan grading system where all loans are graded based on
management's evaluation of the risk associated with each loan. Based on the
loan grading, a factor is applied to the loan balance to reserve for potential
losses. The overall evaluation of the adequacy of the total allowance for loan
losses is based on an analysis of historical loss ratios, loan charge-offs,
delinquency trends, and previous collection experience, along with an
assessment of the effects of external economic conditions.
At March 31, 2000, the allowance for loan losses was 1.49% of total loans,
which is considered by management to be sufficient to address the credit risk in
the current loan portfolio.
The following table sets forth an analysis of the Bank's allowance for
loan losses for the periods indicated.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Asset / liability management involves the funding and investing
strategies necessary to maintain an appropriate balance between interest
sensitive assets and liabilities. It also involves providing adequate
liquidity while sustaining stable growth in net interest income. Regular
review and analysis of deposit and loan trends, cash flows in various
categories of loans, and monitoring of interest spread relationships are
vital to this process.
The conduct of our banking business requires that we maintain adequate
liquidity to meet changes in the composition and volume of assets and
liabilities due to seasonal, cyclical, or other reasons. Liquidity describes
the ability of the Company to meet financial obligations that arise during
the normal course of business. Liquidity is primarily needed to meet the
borrowing and deposit withdrawal requirements of the customers of the
Company, as well as for meeting current and future planned expenditures. This
liquidity is typically provided by the funds received through customer
deposits, investment securities, loan repayments, borrowings, and income.
Management considers the current liquidity position to be adequate to meet
the needs of the Company and its customers.
The Company seeks to limit the risks associated with interest rate
fluctuations by managing the balance between interest sensitive assets and
liabilities. Managing to mitigate interest rate risk is, however, not an
exact science. Not only does the interval until repricing of interest rates
on assets and liabilities change from day to day as the assets and
liabilities change, but for some assets and liabilities, contractual maturity
and the actual maturity experienced are not the same. For example,
mortgage-backed securities may have contractual maturities well in excess of
five years but, depending upon the interest rate carried by the specific
underlying mortgages and the current prevailing rate of interest, these
securities may be repaid in a shorter time period. Accordingly, management must
make certain underlying assumptions with regard to the true interest rate
sensitivity of an asset or liability if the actual volatility experienced
differs from the contractual rate changes or maturities.
Interest rate sensitivity is an important factor in the management of
the composition and maturity configurations of the Company's earning assets
and funding sources. Management manages the interest rate sensitivity
position in order to maintain an appropriate balance between the maturity and
repricing characteristics of assets and liabilities that is consistent with
the Company's liquidity analysis, growth, and capital adequacy goals.
The Company employs computer model simulations for monitoring interest
rate sensitivity. Interest rate risk ("IRR") management has various sources
and it is not simply the risk from rates rising and falling. In fact, there
are four sources of IRR: repricing risk, basis risk, yield curve risk, and
option risk. Gap modeling only focuses on repricing risk. Income simulations
that incorporate cash flow analysis: (1) measure the size and direction of
interest rate exposure under a variety of interest rate and yield curve shape
scenarios; (2) provides the opportunity to capture all critical elements such as
volume, maturity dates, repricing dates, and repayment volumes; (3) utilizes
the data to clearly focus attention on critical variables; (4) are dynamic; and
(5)reflect changes in prevailing interest rates which affect different assets
and liabilities in different ways. These simulations are run on a quarterly
basis using an interest rate ramping technique to determine the effects on
the Company's net interest income, assuming a gradual increase or decrease in
interest rates over four successive quarters.
