ITEM 2 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
This Report contains statements which constitute forward-looking
statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These statements appear in
a number of places in this Report and include all statements regarding the
intent, belief or current expectations of the Company, its directors or its
officers with respect to, among other things: (i) the Company's financing plans;
(ii) trends affecting the Company's financial condition or results of
operations; (iii) the Company's growth strategy and operating strategy; and (iv)
the declaration and payment of dividends. Investors are cautioned that any such
forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve
risks and uncertainties, and that actual results may differ materially from
those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors
discussed herein and those factors discussed in detail in the Company's filings
with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The following discussion of the financial condition and results of
operations of the Registrant (the Company) should be read in conjunction with
the Company's financial statements and related notes and other statistical
information included elsewhere herein.
GENERAL
The Company was incorporated in Maryland on December 10, 1996 as a
bank holding company. Stock of a Maryland state bank with the name Peoples Bank
of Kent County, Maryland (the "Bank") was exchanged in March, 1997 for the
outstanding stock of the Company.
The Bank was established and incorporated in 1910. The Company
currently engages in no business other than owning and managing the Bank.
FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND SOURCES OF CAPITAL
The primary sources of liquidity of the Bank are from loan payments,
short-term investments, including federal funds sold, and cash and due from
banks. Average liquid assets (cash and amounts due from banks, interest bearing
deposits in other banks, federal funds sold, and investment securities) compared
to average deposits were 33.69% at March 31, 2000 as compared to 30.45% at the
same period last year. Another source of liquidity is a secured line of credit
for $18,159,000 from the Federal Home Loan Bank as well as lines of credit in
the amount of $8,000,000 from correspondent banks, namely, Bank of America and
Allfirst Bank.
Tier one capital ratios of the Bank, based on average assets for the
three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 were 16.92% and 16.79%, respectively.
Both are substantially in excess of regulatory minimum requirements. The Bank
expects that its current capital and short-term investments will satisfy the
Bank's cash requirements for the foreseeable future. However, no assurance can
be given in this regard as rapid growth, deterioration in loan quality or a
downturn in earnings, or a combination of these factors could change the Bank's
capital position in a relatively short period of time.
At March 31, 2000, the Bank's interest rate sensitivity, as measured
by gap analysis, showed the bank was liability-sensitive with a three month
cumulative gap, as a percentage of interest-earning assets, of 77.14%. This
shows that the bank is fairly evenly matched where any rate change will affect
the same amount of both assets and liabilities. Generally, liability sensitivity
indicates that a higher dollar amount of liabilities re-price than assets and in
a declining rate environment net interest income increases. On the other hand,
if interest rates increase, then typically the net interest income should
decline. The bank controls this matching of assets to liabilities to minimize
interest rate risk while at the same time maximizing income.
RESULTS AND PLAN OF OPERATION
Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2000, was $503,000, or
$.59 per share, compared to $481,000, or $.56 per share, for the first three
months of 1999. The primary reason net income increased is due to an increase
in net interest income. The Bank has had growth in total assets of $1,978,000
as of March 31, 2000 compared to March 31,1999.
Occupancy expenses have increased $17,000 or 48.57% from $35,000 for
the first three months of 1999 to $52,000 for the first three months ended March
31, 2000. Furniture and Equipment expenses also have increased $13,000 or
33.33% from $39,000 to $53,000 for the same time period. This increase was
expected by the bank and is the result of an extensive renovation at the bank's
Main office.
The Bank reviewed its loan portfolio and determined the allowance, at
1.02% of gross loans, was adequate at March 31, 2000. At December 31, 1999, the
allowance was also 1.01% of gross loans. At March 31, 2000, there were eight
nonaccruing mortgage loans totaling $284,000 and only 1.30% of the portfolio was
delinquent ninety days or more including nonaccruing loans.
The Bank employed sixty three full time equivalent employees during
the first quarter of 2000. The Company employs no employees outside those hired
by the Bank.
The Bank offers a variety of commercial banking services in its trade
area, which encompasses all of Kent County, northern Queen Anne's County and
southern Cecil County, Maryland. This primary service area is located between
the Chesapeake Bay and the western boundary of Delaware. The Bank emphasizes
its primary goal of meeting the banking needs of individuals and small to medium
sized business in its daily operations. The Bank offers a full range of deposit
services that are generally available in most banks and other similar
institutions, i.e., checking accounts, now accounts, savings accounts and other
time deposits of various types, ranging from daily money market accounts to
long-term certificates of deposit.
The Bank also offers a broad range of short and medium term commercial
and personal loans. The bank originates demand and balloon type mortgage loans
to fit may types of loan requests, i.e., real estate construction, acquisition,
home equity and a variety of commercial purposes. Loans originated to date are
anticipated to be held in the Bank's portfolio.
The Bank's services also include cash management opportunities, safe
deposit boxes, direct deposit of various types of needs, automatic transfers of
funds, as well as discount brokerage services and financial planning, along with
security sales and purchases, including mutual funds and annuities. The bank
also offers ATM services though the Most and Cirrus networks. The Bank offers
Master Card and Visa credit card services through a correspondent bank as an
agent for the Bank as well as debit card services.
MARKET RISK
Net interest income of the Company is one of the most important
factors in evaluating the financial performance of the Company. The Company
uses interest sensitivity analysis to determine the effect of rate changes. Net
interest income is projected over the one-year period to determine the effect of
an increase or decrease in the prime rate of 100 basis points. If prime were to
decrease 100 basis points, the Company would experience a decrease in net
interest income of $37,791, if all assets and liabilities maturing within that
period were adjusted for the rate change. The sensitivity analysis does not
consider the likelihood of these rate changes nor whether management's reaction
to this rate change would be to reprice its loans and deposits. This paragraph
contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of and made
pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Litigation Securities
Reform Act of 1995.
