SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A summary of these policies is included in the 1996 Annual Report
to Shareholders.
SECURITIES
The change in the net unrealized loss on securities available for
sale for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 was $12,806 which was a
decrease of $25,458 from the $38,264 net unrealized loss at December
31, 1996. These amounts do not reflect the consequences of deferred
income taxes.
STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS
Cash includes currency and coin, cash items in process of
collection, amounts due from banks and federal funds sold.
COMMON STOCK
The Board of Directors declared three cash dividends of $0.06 per
common share to shareholders of record as of March 20, 1997, June 19,
1997 and September 18, 1997, payable March 31, 1997, June 30, 1997,
and September 30, 1997, respectively. Dividends are not cumulative.
The Board of Directors declared a 5% common stock dividend to
shareholders of record October 24, 1997 payable October 31, 1997. All
per share amounts have been restated to reflect this stock dividend.
Primary earnings per share amounts are computed based on the
weighted average number of shares outstanding plus the shares that
would be outstanding assuming the exercise of dilutive stock options,
all of which are considered to be common stock equivalents. The number
of shares that would be issued from the exercise of stock options has
been reduced by the number of shares that could have been purchased
from the proceeds at the average market price of the Company's stock.
NONPERFORMING LOANS
As of September 30, 1997, there were seventeen nonaccrual loans
totalling $563,149 and one loan 90 days past due or more as to
principal or interest payments totalling $104,106.
MANAGEMENT'S OPINION
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial
statements of Peoples Bancorporation, Inc. contain all adjustments
necessary to fairly present the financial results of the interim
periods presented. The results of operations for any interim period is
not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for an entire
year.
Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
The following discussion and analysis should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and
related notes and with the statistical information and financial
data appearing in this report as well as the 1996 Annual Report
of Peoples Bancorporation on Form 10-KSB. Results of operations
for the nine month period ended September 30, 1997 are not necessarily
indicative of results to be attained for any other period.
Overview
Peoples Bancorporation, Inc. (the "Company"), headquartered in
Easley, South Carolina, was incorporated on March 6, 1992 for the
primary purpose of effecting the reorganization of The Peoples National
Bank (the "Bank") into a bank holding company structure which
reorganization resulted in ownership by the Company of 100% of the
issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Bank.
The Bank, a nationally chartered financial institution, operates
three offices, in Easley, Pickens and Powdersville, South Carolina.
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Earnings Review
The Company's net income for the third quarter of 1997 was
$342,019, a 27.01% increase compared to $269,276 for the same period
in 1996. Earnings per share increased to $0.42 in the third quarter of
1997 compared to $0.34 per share for the same period in 1996. Net income
for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 was $1,043,965 or $1.30 per
share compared to $806,391 or $1.01 per share for the same period in 1996.
Increases in earning assets without corresponding overhead growth, plus
good growth in noninterest income are the primary reasons for the growth
in net income and earnings per common share.
Return on average equity for the nine months and three months ended
September 30, 1997 were 15.60% and 15.33% compared to 13.65% and 13.68%
for the same period in 1996. Return on average assets for the nine months
ended September 30, 1997 was 1.32% compared to 1.24% for the same period
in 1996. For the third quarter of 1997, return on average assets was 1.30%,
compared to 1.21% for the same period in 1996.
The largest component of the Company's net income is net interest
income. Net interest income, which is the difference between the
interest earned on assets and the interest paid for the liabilities
used to fund those assets, measures the gross profit from lending and
investing activities and is the primary contributor to the Company's
earnings. Net interest income before provision for loan losses for the
third quarter of 1997 increased $148,395 or 14.40% over the third quarter
of 1996. Net interest income after provision for loan losses
for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 increased $376,856 or 13.41%
over the third quarter of 1996. This represents a 4.38% net interest
margin (net interest income divided by average earning assets)
on average earning assets of $103,622,300. For this same period in
1996, the net interest margin was 4.52% on average earning assets of
$81,465,000. This decrease in interest margin resulted primarily
from higher funding costs.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income, excluding securities transactions, increased
$57,320 or 40.47% for the third quarter of 1997 as compared to the same
period of 1996. For the first nine months of 1997 noninterest income,
excluding securities transactions, increased $123,867 or 28.37% as compared
to the same period of 1996. Gain on sale of equipment and other real estate
owned in the amount of $31,994; increased mortgage loan fees of $47,878;
and increased deposit service charges of $22,718 are the main contributors
to increased noninterest income. For the first nine months of 1997, the
Company realized a $2,740 gain on the sale of available for sale securities,
compared to a $1,836 loss on the sale of available sale during the same
period in 1996.
Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense increased $42,572 or 6.00% for the third quarter
of 1997 over the third quarter of 1996. For the first nine months
of 1997 noninterest expense increased $142,525 or 6.95% compared to the
same period in 1996. Third quarter personnel costs increased $31,755,
or 8.04% due to normal salary increases and increased matching contributions
to the Company's 401(K) program. Occupancy and equipment expense increased
$15,238 or 15.34% for the third quarter of 1997, due primarily to an increase
in the purchase and maintenance of equipment. During the third quarter of
1996, the Bank began paying all closing costs on equity lines, which increased
$17,490 or 226.32% compared to the same period in 1996.
Provision for Loan Losses
The amount charged to the provision for loan losses by the Company
is based on management's judgement as to the amount required to
maintain an allowance adequate to provide for potential losses in the
Company's loan portfolio.
The provision for loan losses charged to operations during the
nine months ended September 30, 1997 was $217,290 compared to $149,500
for this same period in 1996. This increase is due primarily to the
$14,974,900 or 23.77% increase in outstanding loans since September 30,
1996. Management considers this reserve to be adequate based upon
evaluations of specific loans and weighing of various loan categories
as suggested by the Bank's internal loan rating system.
BALANCE SHEET REVIEW
Loans
Outstanding loans represent the largest component of earning
assets at 75.24% of total earning assets. As of September 30, 1997, the
Company had total loans outstanding of $77,965,372. Loans increased
$14,974,892 or 23.77% from $62,990,480 at September 30, 1996, and increased
$11,800,748 or 17.84%, from $66,164,624 at December 31, 1996. For the
first nine months of 1997, the Company's loans averaged $72,755,000,
compared with $59,527,000 for the same period of 1996. This increase
resulted primarily from internal growth.
The interest rates charged on loans vary with the degree of risk,
maturity and amount of the loan. Competitive pressures, money market
rates, availability of funds, and government regulations also influence
interest rates. The yield on the Company's loans as of September 30, 1997
was 9.27%, compared to 9.33% at September 30, 1996 and 9.18% at December 31,
1996. Approximately 40% of the Bank's loans are tied to prime, the prime
rate increase at the end of the March, 1997 helped the loan portfolio
yield. Another influence is the Bank's equity lines, which are priced
at the prime rate. Equity lines increased 71.17% during the last six
months of 1996.
The Company's loan portfolio consists principally of residential
mortgage loans, commercial loans, and consumer loans. Substantially
all of these loans are located in South Carolina and are concentrated
in the Company's market areas. The Company has no foreign loans or
loans for highly leveraged transactions.
Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses at September 30, 1997 was $920,879
or 1.18% of loans outstanding compared to $707,365 or 1.12% of loans
outstanding at September 30, 1996, and $760,679, or 1.15% at December
31, 1996. The allowance for loan losses is based upon management's
continuing evaluation of the collectibility of past due loans based on
the historical loan loss experienced by the Bank, current economic
conditions affecting the ability of borrowers to repay, the volume of
loans, the quality of collateral securing non-performing and problem loans,
and other factors deserving recognition.
At September 30, 1997, the Company had $563,149 in non-accruing
loans, one restructured loan in the amount of $10,520 and one loan
greater than ninety days past due on which interest was still being
accrued in the amount of $104,406. This compares with $272,265 in non
- -accruing, no restructured loans and one loan greater than ninety days
past due on which interest was still being accrued in the amount of $72,651
at September 30, 1996. At December 31, 1996, there were $397,530 in
non-accruing and no restructured loans and one loan, in the amount of
$123,366, greater than ninety days past due on which interest was still
being accrued. Nonperforming assets as a percentage of loans and other
real estate owned were 0.85% and 0.55% at September 30, 1997 and 1996,
respectively.
Net charge-offs during the first nine months of 1997 were $57,090.
which represents 0.07% of average loans, compared to net charge-offs of
$111,799 or 0.19% of average loans for the 9 months ended September 30,
1996, and $169,065 or 0.28% of average loans, for the year ended December
31, 1996. The allowance for loanlosses as a percentage of nonperforming
loans was 108% and 632% as of September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
The Company accounts for impaired loans in accordance with the
provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") 114,
Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan. SFAS No. 114, as
amended by SFAS No. 118, requires that impaired loans be measured based
on the present value of expected future cash flows or the underlying
collateral values as defined in the pronouncement. The Company
includes the provisions of SFAS NO. 114, if any, in the allowance for
loan losses. When the ultimate collectibility of an impaired loan's
principal is in doubt, wholly or partially, all cash receipts are
applied to principal. When this doubt does not exist, cash receipts
are applied under the contractual terms of the loan agreement first to
principal then to interest income. Once the recorded principal balance
has been reduced to zero, future cash receipts are applied to interest
income, to the extent that any interest has been foregone. Further
cash receipts are recorded as recoveries on any amounts previously
charged off. As of September 30, 1997 the Company had $75,000 in
impaired loans and $272,265 in impaired loans at September 30, 1996,
on which no interest income was recognized.
Securities
Investment securities constituted 21.82% and 25.63% of earning
assets as of September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. At September 30,
1997,securities totaled $22,606,962, up $4,644,923 from $17,962,039 invested
as of September 30, 1996 and up $3,520,410 from December 31,1996's balance of
$19,086,552. The yield on investment securities increased from 6.07% at
September 30, 1996 and decreased from 6.18% at December 31, 1996 to 5.90% at
September 30, 1997, principally due to lower yields on new investments
purchased with maturities within one year. The Company has shortened the
average maturity of its investment portfolio which provides liquidity and
flexibility in a changing interest rate environment.
At September 30, 1997, the Company's total investment portfolio had a
book value of $22,619,768 and a market value of $22,699,461 for an
unrealized net loss of $12,806. Securities averaged $22,041,124 for
the first nine months of 1997, 0.76% above the first nine months 1996
average of $22,208,617.
The Company uses its investment portfolio to provide liquidity for
unexpected deposit liquidation or loan generation, to meet the
Company's interest rate sensitivity goals and to generate income. The
Company emphasizes safety in its selection of investment securities.
Accordingly, the investment portfolio is limited to securities of the
United States government or its agencies, mortgage backed securities
and investment grade state and municipal securities. The Company does
not invest in corporate bonds nor does it hold any trade securities.
Deposits
The Bank's primary source of funds for loans and investments is its
deposits. Deposits grew 19.35% to $91,376,719 at September 30, 1997 from
$76,560,443 at September 30, 1996. At December 31, 1996, deposits totaled
$80,204,383. This increase resulted principally from account promotions.
Competition for deposit accounts is primarily based on the interest rates
paid, location convenience and services offered.
During the first nine months of 1997, interest-bearing deposits
averaged $74,362,4500 compared to $62,546,200 for the same period in
1996, and $63,704,000 for the twelve months ending December 31, 1996.
The average interest rates were 4.72% and 4.49% at September 30, 1997 and
1996, respectively. In pricing deposits, the Company considers its
liquidity needs, the direction and levels of interest rates and local
market conditions. As of September 30, 1997, interest-bearing deposits
comprised 87.92% of total deposits.
The Company's core deposit base consists of consumer time
deposits, savings, NOW accounts, money market accounts and checking
accounts. Although such core deposits are becoming increasingly
interest sensitive for both the Company and the industry as a whole,
such core deposits continue to provide the Company with a large and
stable source of funds. Core deposits as a percentage of total
deposits averaged approximately 93.67% for the nine months ended September
30, 1997. The Company closely monitors its reliance on certificates
greater than $100,000, which are generally considered less stable and
less reliable than core deposits.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity management entails meeting the cash flow requirements of
the Company. The primary cash flow requirements include withdrawals of
deposits, extensions of credit, payment of operating expenses and
repayment of purchased funds. The Company's principal sources of funds
for liquidity purposes are customer deposits, principal and interest
payments on loans, maturities and sale of debt securities, temporary
investments and earnings.
The Company monitors and controls the mix and maturities of its
assets and liabilities through asset/liability management. The
essential purposes of asset/liability management are (i) to ensure
adequate liquidity to fund demands from depositors and borrowers and
(ii) to maintain an appropriate balance between interest sensitive
assets and liabilities. Interest sensitive assets and liabilities are
those that are subject to repricing in the near term, including both
floating rate instruments and those with approaching maturities. The
objective of interest sensitivity management is to maintain reasonably
stable growth in net interest income despite changes in market interest
rates by maintaining the proper mix of interest sensitive assets and
liabilities. Over the past several years, the environment in which
financial institutions operate has been characterized by volatile
interest rates and greater reliance on market-sensitive deposits,
increasing both the importance and the difficulty of interest
sensitivity management. Throughout this period, management has sought
to maintain a general equilibrium between interest sensitive assets and
liabilities in order to insulate net interest income from significant
adverse changes in market rates.
The Company routinely reviews its interest sensitivity gap, or the
difference between total interest sensitive assets and liabilities for
a static time period. While the static gap is a widely-used measure of
interest-sensitivity, it is not, in management's opinion, a true
indicator of the Company's interest rate sensitive position.
Consequently, the Company also uses an asset/liability simulation model
which quantifies balance sheet and earnings variations under different
interest rate environments, to measure and manage interest rate risk.
The Company plans to meet its future cash needs through the
liquidation of temporary investments, maturities of loans and
investment securities, and generation of deposits. By increasing the
rates paid on deposits, the Company would be able to raise deposits as
needed. In addition, the Bank maintains lines of credit from unrelated
banks in the amount of $2,500,000 and is able to borrow from the
Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB"). At September 30, 1997, unused borrowing
capacity from the FHLB totaled approximately $10.2 million. In 1996, the
Company modified its funding strategy to rely more on advances from the
FHLB because Management determined that, due to increased competition
for deposits, the marginal cost of borrowing from the FHLB is lower
than the margin cost of raising deposits. At September 30, 1997, FHLB
advances totaled $5,979,592 compared to $489,796 at September 30, 1996 and
$5,397,959 at December 31, 1996.
Capital Adequacy
Federal banking regulators have established certain capital
adequacy standards required to be maintained by banks and bank holding
companies. At September 30, 1997, the Company and Peoples National Bank
were in compliance with each of the applicable capital requirements and
exceeded the "well capitalized" regulatory guidelines. The following
table sets forth the capital ratios for the Company and Peoples
National Bank as of September 30, 1997:
