HANOVER BANCORP, INC. AND ITS WHOLLY OWNED SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(1) In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
financial statements contain all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring
nature necessary to present fairly Hanover Bancorp, Inc.'s financial position as
of June 30, 2000, and December 31, 1999, the results of its operations and cash
flows for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999.
(2) The information contained in this report is unaudited and is subject to
year-end adjustment and audit.
(3) These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto included in the corporation's Annual
Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 1999.
(4) Net income (basic and diluted) and cash dividends per share are based on the
weighted average number of shares outstanding which were 3,884,137 during the
six months ended June 30, 2000 and 3,939,344 during the six months ended June
30, 1999. The effective dilutive securities for these periods are immaterial.
(5) The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2000 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended
December 31, 2000.
(6) The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level believed adequate by
management to absorb estimated credit losses within the overall loan portfolio.
Management's methodology in evaluating the adequacy of the allowance considers
the overall growth in the portfolio, ongoing analysis of individual credits,
adverse situations that could affect a borrower's ability to repay, prior and
current loss experience, and economic conditions and trends. The allowance for
loan losses is charged when management determines the prospects for recovering
the principal have significantly diminished. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are
credited to the allowance. Loans identified as impaired are charged-off when
management has concluded, after ongoing evaluation of the impaired loans, that
repayment is unlikely. Installment loans that are 90 to 120 days past due are
charged-off, unless current scheduled payments are being received. Real estate
loans are written down to fair value upon the earlier of management's
determination that the underlying collateral value has declined, foreclosure
proceedings, a receipt of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or an in-substance
foreclosure involving actual possession of the collateral.
(7) Comprehensive income and its components for the six months ended June 30,
are as follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
Six months ended
2000 1999
<S> <C> <C>
Net income $ 2,312 $ 2,208
Adjustment to net unrealized gains on
securities available-for-sale, net of
tax effects and reclassification adjustment
for gains included in net income (1,128) (3,826)
Comprehensive income (loss) $ 1,184 $ (1,618)
</TABLE>
Accumulated other comprehensive income consists of the net unrealized gain on
securities available-for-sale, net of tax effects.
(8) In March 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB
Interpretation No. 44, Accounting for Certain Transactions involving Stock
Compensation, and Interpretation of APB No. 25. The Interpretation provides
clarification on stock option repricings, modifications to extend the term,
modifications to accelerate vesting, and other matters. Hanover has adopted the
<PAGE> 5
provisions prospectively as of July 1, 2000 with no impact on earnings or
shareholders' equity.
(9) On July 27, 2000, Hanover announced the consummation of the merger with
Sterling Financial Corporation, headquartered in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
Shareholders of Sterling and Hanover approved the merger on June 13 and June 14,
2000, respectively. Shareholders of Hanover Bancorp, Inc. will receive .93
shares of common stock of Sterling for each share of Hanover common stock. A
total of 3,611,923 shares of common stock will be issued by sterling in
connection with the transaction. This transaction will be accounted for under
the pooling-of-interests method.
The following table provides a summary of consolidated operating results and
financial condition on a proforma basis (including intercompany eliminations) as
