NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the three month periods ended
December 31, 1996 and 1995
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared in
accordance with instructions for Form 10-QSB and, therefore, do not include
information or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of consolidated
financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, these financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto of the Corporation included in the Annual Report on
Form 10-KSB for the year ended September 30, 1996. However, in the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) which
are necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements
have been included. The results of operations for the three month periods ended
December 31, 1996 and 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results which
may be expected for an entire fiscal year.
2. Principes of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Harvest Home Financial Corporation (the Corporation) and Harvest Home Savings
Bank (the Savings Bank). All significant intercompany items have been
eliminated.
3. Earnings Per Share
Earnings per share is computed based upon the weighted-average shares
outstanding during the period plus those stock options that are dilutive, less
shares in ESOP that are unallocated and not committed to be released. Weighted-
average common shares deemed outstanding, which gives effect to 37,826 and
67,385 unallocated ESOP shares, totaled 897,031 and 883,106 for the three month
periods ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
4. Effects of Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation", establishing financial accounting and reporting
standards for stock-based employee compensation plans. SFAS No. 123 encourages
all entities to adopt a new method of accounting to measure compensation cost of
all employee stock compensation plans based on the estimated fair value of the
award at the date it is granted. Companies are, however, allowed to continue to
to measure compensation cost for those plans using the intrinsic value based
method of accounting, which generally does not result in compensation expense
recognition for most plans. Companies that elect to remain with the existing
accounting are required to disclose in a footnote to the financial statements
pro forma net earnings and, if presented, earnings per share, as if SFAS No.
123 had been adopted. The accounting requirements of SFAS No. 123 are
effective for transactions entered into during fiscal years that begin after
December 15, 1995; however, companies are required to disclose information for
awards granted in their first fiscal year beginning after December 15, 1994.
Management has determined that the Corporation will continue to account for
stock-based compensation pursuant to Accounting Principles Board
Opinion No. 25, and therefore the provisions of SFAS No. 123 will have no effect
on its consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
In June 1996, the FASB issued SFAS No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers of
Financial Assets, Servicing Rights, and Extinguishment of Liabilities", that
provides accounting guidance on transfers of financial assets, servicing of
financial assets, and extinguishment of liabilities. SFAS No. 125 introduces an
approach to accounting for transfers of financial assets that provides a means
of dealing with more complex transactions in which the seller disposes of only a
partial interest in the assets, retains rights or obligations, makes use of
special purpose entities in the transaction, or otherwise has continuing
involvement with the transferred assets. The new accounting method, the
financial components approach, provides that the carrying amount of the
financial assets transferred be allocated to components of the transaction based
on their relative fair values. SFAS No. 125 provides criteria for determining
whether control of assets has been relinquished and whether a sale has occurred.
If the transfer does not qualify as a sale, it is accounted for as a secured
borrowing. Transactions subject to the provisions of SFAS No. 125 include,
among others, transfers involving repurchase agreements, securitizations of
financial assets, loan participations, factoring arrangements, and transfers
of receivables with recourse.
An entity that undertakes an obligation to service financial assets recognizes
either a servicing asset or liability for the servicing contract (unless related
to a securitization of assets, and all the securitized assets are retained and
classified as held-to-maturity). A servicing asset or liability that is
purchased or assumed is initially recognized at its fair value. Servicing
assets and liabilities are amortized in proportion to and over the period of
estimated net servicing income or net servicing loss and are subject to
subsequent assessments for impairment based on fair value.
SFAS No. 125 provides that a liability is removed from the balance sheet only if
the debtor either pays the creditor and is relieved of its obligation for the
liability or is legally released from being the primary obligor.
SFAS No. 125 is effective for transfers and servicing of financial assets and
extinguishment of liabilities occurring after December 31, 1997, and is to be
applied prospectively. Earlier or retroactive application is not permitted.
Management does not believe that adoption of SFAS No. 125 will have a material
adverse effect on the Corporation's consolidated financial position or results
of operations.
Forward-Looking Statements
In addition to historical information contained herein, the following discussion
contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.
Economic circumstances, the Corporation's operations and the Corporation's
actual results could differ significantly from those discussed in the forward-
looking statements. Some of the factors that could cause or contribute to such
differences are discussed herein but also include changes in the economy and
interest rates in the nation and the Corporation's market area generally.
Some of the forward-looking statements included herein are the statements
regarding management's determination of the amount of allowance for losses on
loans and the effect of certain accounting pronouncements.
Discussion of Financial Condition Changes from September 30, 1996 to December
31, 1996
At December 31, 1996, the Corporation had total assets of $83.7 million, an
increase of $4.9 million, or 6.3%, from September 30, 1996. The increase in
assets was funded primarily through a $5.0 million increase in advances from the
Federal Home Loan Bank.
Cash and due from banks, interest-bearing deposits in other financial
institutions and investment securities decreased by $388,000, to a total of
$13.4 million at December 31, 1996. Investment securities decreased by $2.0
million, or 16.5%, due to sales of securities during the quarter.
Mortgage-backed securities increased by $4.5 million, or 22.2%, to a total of
$25.0 million at December 31, 1996, as compared to $20.4 million at September
30, 1996, as purchases of $5.0 million exceeded principal repayments and
sales of $310,000 and $135,000, respectively. During the current quarter,
management purchased $5.0 million of long-term, adjustable-rate U.S.
Government agency REMIC's with a yield of 6.63%. Such purchases were funded
with proceeds from Federal Home Loan Bank advances.
Loans receivable increased by $454,000, or 1.1%, as loan disbursements of $1.3
million exceeded principal repayments of $860,000.
At December 31, 1996, Harvest Home's allowance for loan losses totaled $111,000,
which equaled the level maintained at September 30, 1996. The allowance for
loan losses is evaluated by management based upon an assessment of current and
anticipated economic conditions applied to the loan portfolio, as well as,
evaluating the quality of the portfolio. At December 31, 1996, the Corporation
had $217,000 in nonperforming loans, as compared to $164,000 in nonperforming
loans at September 30, 1996. Although management believes that its allowance
for loan losses at December 31, 1996 was adequate based on facts and
circumstances available to it, there can be no assurances that additions to such
allowance will not be necessary in future periods, which could adversely affect
Harvest Home's results of operations.
Deposits totaled $57.8 million at December 31, 1996, a decrease of $204,000, or
.4%, from the $58.0 million of deposits outstanding at September 30, 1996.
Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank increased by $5.0 million, or 50.0%,
during the current quarter as management elected to fund the purchase of
mortgage-backed securities with long-term adjustable-rate advances bearing
interest at a rate of 5.43%.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) has adopted risk-based capital
ratio guidelines to which the Savings Bank is subject. The guidelines establish
a systematic analytical framework that makes regulatory capital requirements
more sensitive to differences in risk profiles among banking organizations.
Risk-based capital ratios are determined by allocating assets and specified off-
balance sheet commitments to four risk-weighted categories, with higher levels
of capital being required for the categories perceived as representing greater
risk.
These guidelines divide the Savings Bank's capital into two tiers. The first
tier ("Tier 1") includes common equity, certain non-cumulative perpetual
preferred stock (excluding auction rate issues) and minority interests in equity
accounts of consolidated subsidiaries, less goodwill and certain other
intangible assets (except mortgage servicing rights and purchased credit card
relationships, subject to certain limitations). Supplementary ("Tier II")
capital includes, among other items, cumulative perpetual and long-term limited-
life preferred stock, mandatory convertible securities, certain hybrid capital
instruments, term subordinated debt and the allowance for loan losses, subject
to certain limitations, less required deductions. Savings banks are required to
maintain a total risk-based capital ratio of 8%, of which 4% must be Tier 1
capital. The FDIC may, however, set higher capital requirements when particular
circumstances warrant. Savings banks experiencing or anticipating significant
growth are expected to maintain capital ratios, including tangible capital
positions, well above the minumum levels.
In addition, the FDIC established guidelines prescribing a minimum Tier 1
leverage ratio (Tier 1 capital to adjusted total assets as specified in the
guidelines). These guidelines provide for a minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio of 3%
for savings banks that meet certain specified criteria, including that they have
the highest regulatory rating and are not experiencing or anticipating
significant growth. All other savings banks are required to maintain a Tier 1
leverage ratio of 3% plus an additional cushion of at least 100 or 200 basis
points.
As of December 31, 1996, the Savings Bank's regulatory capital substantially
exceeded all minimum capital requirements.
Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Month Periods Ended December 31,
1996 and 1995
General
Net earnings for the three months ended December 31, 1996 totaled $157,000, an
increase of $29,000, or 22.7%, over the $128,000 of net earnings recorded for
the three months ended December 31, 1995. The increase in earnings resulted
primarily from a $13,000 increase in net interest income, a $10,000 increase
in other income and a $23,000 decrease in general, administrative and other
expense, which were partially offset by a $17,000 increase in the federal income
tax provision.
Net Interest Income
Interest income on loans for the three months ended December 31, 1996 increased
by $63,000, or 7.9%. The increase was primarily due to a $4.2 million increase
in average portfolio balance year-to-year, which was partially offset by a 22
basis point decrease in yield, from 8.27% in 1995 to 8.05% in 1996. Interest
income on mortgage-backed securities increased $193,000, or 182.1%, due to a
$13.8 million increase in average portfolio balance outstanding year-to-year.
Interest income on investment securities and other interest-earning assets
decreased by $102,000, or 30.1%. This decrease was primarily the result of a
$6.5 million decrease in average portfolio balance outstanding year-to-year.
Interest expense on deposits decreased by $10,000, or 1.4%, during the three
months ended December 31, 1996. This decrease was the result of a 20 basis
point decline in the average cost of deposits, from 4.96% in 1995 to 4.76% in
1996.
Interest expense on borrowings increased by $151,000 as a result of the increase
in advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank, as previously discussed.
As a result of the foregoing changes in interest income and interest expense,
net interest income increased by $13,000, or 2.4%, during the three months ended
December 31, 1996, as compared to the three months ended December 31, 1995.
Other Income
Other income increased by $10,000, or 76.9%, during the three months ended
December 31, 1996. This increase was due primarily to a $6,000 gain on sale
of investment and mortgage-backed securities, coupled with an increase in
service charges and other fees year-to-year.
General, Administrative and Other Expense
General, administrative and other expense decreased by approximately $23,000, or
6.4%, during the three months ended December 31, 1996, to a total of $335,000,
as compared to the $358,000 total reported for the same period in 1995. This
decrease was primarily the result of a $32,000, or 100.0%, decrease in federal
deposit insurance premiums, which was partially offset by a $12,000, or 54.5%,
increase in franchise taxes. The decline in federal deposit insurance premiums
was due primarily to a reduction in premium rates following the SAIF
recapitalization charge recorded by the Corporation at September 30, 1996. The
increase in franchise taxes was due to the increase in stockholders' equity
following the conversion to stock form in 1994.
Federal Income Taxes
The provision for federal income taxes increased by $17,000, or 26.6%, during
the three months ended December 31, 1996, due primarily to an increase in
earnings before income taxes of $46,000, or 24.0%. Harvest Home's effective tax
rates amounted to 34.0% and 33.3% during the three months ended December 31,
1996 and 1995, respectively.
