NOTES TO (UNAUDITED) CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 1999
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The financial statements presented in this report have been prepared by the
Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission for interim reporting and include all adjustments which are, in the
opinion of management, necessary for fair presentation. These financial
statements have not been audited by an independent accountant. 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 for interim
reporting. The Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the
information not misleading. However, these financial statements should be read
in conjunction with the financial statement and notes thereto included in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended September 30, 1998.
The financial data and results of operations for interim periods presented may
not necessarily reflect the results to be anticipated for the complete year.
NOTE 2 - EARNINGS PER SHARE
Earnings per common share for the three months and six months ended March 31,
1999 and 1998, has been computed based on net income divided by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during the period. For the three
months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, the weighted average number of shares
outstanding totaled 1,335,051 and 1,441,868, shares respectively. For the six
months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, the weighted average number of shares
outstanding totaled 1,362,176 and 1,441,868 shares respectively.
Earnings per common share - assuming dilution, for the three months and six
months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, has been computed based on net income
divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. In
addition, it includes the effects of all dilutive potential common shares that
were outstanding during the period. For the three months ended March 31, 1999
and 1998, the weighted average number of shares outstanding for earnings per
share - assuming dilution totaled 1,348,110 and 1,496,037, shares respectively.
For the six months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, the weighted average number of
shares outstanding for earnings per share - assuming dilution totaled 1,374,721
and 1,493,398, shares respectively.
For both earnings per share and earnings per common share - assuming dilution
and as prescribed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
Statement of Position 93-6 ("SOP 93-6") Employer's Accounting for Employees
Stock Ownership Plans, the weighted average number of shares outstanding does
not include unallocated Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP") shares.
See Part II, Item 6 - Exhibits for a detailed presentation of the earnings per
share calculation for the three month and six month periods ended March 31, 1999
and 1998.

EAST TEXAS FINANCIAL SERVICES, INC.
AND SUBSIDIARY
FORM 10-QSB
MARCH 31, 1999
Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
GENERAL
The principle business of the Company is that of a community-oriented financial
institution attracting deposits from the general public and using such deposits
to originate one- to four-family residential loans and, to a lesser extent,
commercial real estate, one- to four-family construction, multi-family and
consumer loans. These funds have also been used to purchase mortgage-backed
securities, U. S. government and agency obligations and other permissible
securities. The Company also borrows funds from the Federal Home Loan Bank of
Dallas ("FHLB") to fund loans and to purchase securities. The ability of the
Company to attract deposits is influenced by a number of factors, including
interest rates paid on competing investments, account maturities and levels of
personal income and savings. The Company's cost of funds is influenced by
interest rates on competing investments and general market rates of interest.
Lending activities are influenced by the demand for real estate loans and other
types of loans, which is in turn affected by the interest rates at which such
loans are made, general economic conditions affecting loan demand, the
availability of funds for lending activities, economic conditions and changes in
real estate values.
The Company's results of operations are dependent primarily on net interest
income, which is the difference between the income earned on its loan and
investment portfolios and the interest paid on deposits and borrowings. Results
of operations are also affected by the Company's provision for loan losses and
the net gain (loss) on sales of interest earning assets and loan fees. The
Company's results of operations are also significantly affected by general
economic and competitive conditions, particularly changes in interest rates,
government policies and actions of regulatory authorities.
The Company has expanded its product lines to include commercial and consumer
loans, debit and credit cards, an ATM machine and cards, safe deposit boxes, and
a full range of business and personal checking and deposit accounts. With the
introduction of new products and services, the Company opened an additional
full-service office located in South Tyler.
The start-up costs associated with the new product lines and the expansion will
be significant and the Company does not anticipate the new branch office to be
profitable immediately. However, management believes that the long-term future
of the Company is dependent upon the success of this change.
<PAGE>
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Total assets were $134.3 million at March 31, 1999, a $10.3 million increase
from the $124.0 million reported at September 30, 1998, the Company's most
recent fiscal year end. The increase in total assets was the result of a $9.3
million increase in mortgage-backed securities available-for-sale, a $3.0
million increase in investment securities available-for-sale and a $2.7 million
increase in interest-earning deposits with banks. The increases were partially
offset by a $2.8 million decline in investment securities held-to-maturity and a
$3.2 million decline in mortgage-backed securities held to maturity.
At March 31, 1999, loans receivable totaled $61.8 million, compared to $61.1
million at September 30, 1998. The increase in loans receivable was the result
of a change in Company policy to place into portfolio 15 year fixed rate
mortgage loans with interest rates below 7.00%. The Company had previously sold
such loans into the secondary market. The loans consist primarily of 15 year
fixed rate mortgages funded with a combination of long term amortizing and short
term advances from the FHLB. The loan arbitrage is monitored on a monthly basis.
The Company anticipates continuing the program as long as the interest rate
spread remains favorable. The Company continued its policy of selling all one-
to four-family loans with terms of greater than 15 years into the secondary
market.
The Company continued to offer home equity loans for up to 80% of the borrowers
equity in the property, the maximum allowed by Texas law. Loan terms of up to 15
years are offered at interest rates, depending upon the size of the loan,
ranging from 8.00% to 9.50%. As of March 31, 1999, the Company had approximately
$2.7 million in home equity loans outstanding.
The increase in the mortgage-backed securities available-for-sale portfolio was
primarily the result of the Company's decision to continue its program of
borrowing funds from the FHLB and investing the proceeds into mortgage-backed
and similar securities in an effort to achieve a positive margin on the
transaction. At March 31, 1999, the portfolio totaled $22.1 million, compared to
$12.8 million at September 30, 1998. At March 31, 1999, the average yield on the
securities in the program was approximately 5.71% while the cost of the FHLB
advance was approximately 4.88%, resulting in a pre-tax interest rate spread of
83 basis points.
Subject to favorable interest rates, the Company intends, over the next several
quarters, to borrow an additional $20.0 million from the Federal Home Loan Bank
("FHLB") and invest the proceeds in adjustable rate mortgage-backed securities
to be held in an available-for-sale accounting classification. The purpose of
the program is to leverage a portion of the Company's excess capital and to
achieve a rate of return on the difference in the rate earned on the securities
and the cost of the advances. The success of the program will be dependent upon
several factors, including the Company's ability to purchase adjustable rate
securities that will maintain a positive margin above the FHLB advance rates.
The Company intends to primarily borrow funds from the FHLB with terms of
approximately thirty days and invest in mortgage-backed securities with interest
rate adjustment frequencies that vary between one month and one year.
The investment security available-for-sale portfolio consists of corporate debt
securities. The corporate debt securities have a fixed rate and term. The
Company invests only in investment grade corporate debt with varying maturities
and ratings. All corporate debt securities have maturities of less than or equal
to five years. The yield on the investment security available-for-sale portfolio
was 5.91% for the quarter ended March 31, 1999.
<PAGE>
At March 31, 1999, the investment securities held-to-maturity portfolio totaled
$27.0 million, compared to $29.8 million at September 30, 1998. At March 31,
1999, the overall yield on the portfolio was approximately 5.99%, compared to
6.01% at September 30, 1998. At March 31, 1999, the portfolio contained $6.5
million in securities with remaining terms until maturity of less than one year,
$4.0 million with remaining maturities of one through two years, $1.0 million
with remaining maturities of two through three years and $15.5 million with
remaining maturities of three through five years. Each of the investment
securities with remaining maturities of three through five years is callable at
the discretion of the issuer, and the call dates range from April 1999 to June
2001.
The Company's mortgage-backed securities held-to-maturity portfolio totaled $7.7
million at March 31, 1999, compared to $10.9 million at September 30, 1998. The
decrease in mortgage-backed securities held-to-maturity was primarily due to
principal payments received on the portfolio during the period. Continued lower
long-term interest rates could continue to influence borrower decisions to
refinance the adjustable rate mortgage loans underlying the Company's
mortgage-backed securities held-to-maturity portfolio. The result would be a
continued decrease in the balances reported in this asset category. The weighted
average yield on the portfolio was approximately 7.08% at March 31, 1999.
Total deposits were $87.1 million at March 31, 1999, a $433,000 increase from
the $86.6 million reported at September 30, 1998. The Company's cost of deposits
was approximately 4.84% at March 31, 1999, and the overall cost of funds,
including FHLB advances, was approximately 4.88%.
The Company reported $26.9 million in borrowed funds at March 31, 1999, an
increase of $12.0 million from the $14.9 million reported at September 30, 1998.
Approximately $22.4 million of the borrowed funds were used to invest in
mortgage-backed securities available-for-sale as part of the Company's wholesale
funded arbitrage program. The advance had a remaining term of less than 30 days
and had an interest rate of 4.88%. Approximately $2.8 million was used to fund
the wholesale loan arbitrage of 15 year loans at an average rate of 5.50%, with
the remaining $1.7 million in advances used to fund a portion of the Company's
commercial real estate loan portfolio at a weighted average cost of
approximately 6.05%.
Stockholders' equity totaled $19.7 million at March 31, 1999, a decrease of
$636,000 from the $20.4 million reported at September 30, 1998. The decrease was
primarily attributable to the $730,000 increase in treasury stock, the payment
of cash dividends in the amount of $140,000, and a $45,000 increase in net
unrealized losses on securities available-for-sale. The decrease was partially
offset by net income of $233,000 reported for the six months ended March 31,
1999, and a $49,000 decrease in deferred compensation.
At March 31, 1999, the Company reported a book value per share of $14.18 based
on 1,392,853 net outstanding shares. During the six months ended March 31, 1999,
the Company repurchased 71,203 shares of treasury stock at an average price of
$10.25 per share. The result was an increase in the number of shares held as
treasury stock to 491,639 at an average cost of $11.236 per share.
<PAGE>
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company's net income is dependent primarily upon net interest income, the
difference or spread between the average yield earned on loans and investments
and the average rate paid on deposits, as well as the relative amounts of such
assets and liabilities. The Company, like other financial intermediaries, is
subject to interest rate risk to the degree that its interest-bearing
liabilities mature or reprice at different times, or on a different basis, than
its interest earning assets.
COMPARISON OF THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999 AND MARCH 31, 1998
General. Net income for the three months ended March 31, 1999 was $57,000 or
$.04 per share, a decrease of $101,000 from the $158,000 or $.11 per share
reported for the three months ended March 31, 1998. The decrease in net income
was attributable to a $34,000 decline in net interest income after provision for
loan losses, a $94,000 increase in total non-interest expense, and a $24,000
decrease in noninterest income. The decrease in net income was partially offset
by a $52,000 decrease in income tax expense.
Net Interest Income. For the quarter ended March 31, 1999, net interest income
before provision for loan losses totaled $794,000, a decrease of $34,000 from
the $828,000 reported for the quarter ended March 31, 1998. On an annualized
basis, the $794,000 in net interest income for the current quarter was
approximately 2.48% of average interest earning assets and 2.37% of average
total assets. For the quarter ended March 31, 1998, the $828,000 in net interest
income was approximately 2.84% of average interest earning assets and 2.75% of
average total assets. Average interest earning assets were approximately $128.2
million for the quarter ended March 31, 1999, compared to $116.7 million for the
quarter ended March 31, 1998.
The decline in net interest income, despite the fact that average interest
earning assets increased by approximately $11.5 million, was primarily the
result of continued period of minimal differences in short term and long term
interest rates. Cash flow from the Company's interest earning assets has
increased over the past several quarters as mortgage borrowers have elected to
refinance their mortgages. In addition, scheduled maturities and call options of
the investment securities portfolios have also provided additional challenges
for reinvesting cash flow in this current interest rate environment. The result
has been, despite growth in interest-earning assets, a yield on the Company's
average interest-earning assets that declined from 7.05% for the quarter ended
March 31, 1998 to 6.68% for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 as the cash flow
has been reinvested at lower interest rates.
Interest rates on the Company's primary source of funds, certificates of
deposit, have not decreased as rapidly as interest rates have fallen. Continued
competition for deposits in the Company's market has compelled the Company to
continue to pay higher interest rates in order to maintain current deposit
levels. For the quarter ended March 31, 1999, the $1.0 million in interest
expense on deposits was, on an annualized basis, approximately 4.78% of average
interest costing deposits, compared to 4.82% for the same quarter in 1998. On an
annualized basis, the $1.4 million in total interest expense, reported for the
quarter ended March 31, 1999, was approximately 4.84% of average interest
costing liabilities outstanding for the quarter. For the quarter ended March 31,
1998, the $1.2 million in total interest expense was approximately 4.97% of
average interest costing liabilities.
<PAGE>
Total interest income was $2.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1999, an
increase of $91,000 from the $2.1 million reported for the same quarter in 1998.
Interest income on loans-receivable totaled $1.2 million or 7.74% of average
loans receivable balances outstanding for the quarter ended March 31, 1999. For
the three months ended March 31, 1998, interest income on loans-receivable was
approximately 7.86% of average loans receivable balances. During the quarter
ended March 31, 1999, the Company implemented a wholesale loan arbitrage
program. The program, designed to leverage a portion of the Company's excess
capital, allows the Company to portfolio 15 year loans with rates below 7.00% as
well as continuing to place into portfolio mortgage loans with an original
maturity of less than or equal to 15 years and with interest rates of greater
than or equal to 7.00%. As a result, the Company has been able to increase its
loans receivable portfolio and maintain interest income from loans receivable
despite lower mortgage rates. The growth has been at marginal yields at less
than the average in the portfolio and the result has been a decline in the
average yield on the portfolio. However, the goal of the program is to increase
overall net interest income.
Interest income from mortgage-backed securities available-for sale totaled
$312,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1999, compared to $105,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 1998. The increase in interest income is a direct
result of the increase in the average balance outstanding from $7.5 to $20.8
million. Interest income from this portfolio is part of the Company's plan to
borrow funds from the FHLB and invest in mortgage-related securities in an
effort to achieve a margin on the difference in the investment yield and the
cost of the borrowings from the FHLB. The yield on the portfolio was
approximately 5.71% at March 31, 1999. [See "Financial Condition"]
Interest income from the investment securities held-to-maturity portfolio
totaled $418,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1999, compared to $407,000
for the same quarter in 1998. The increase was primarily the result of an
increase in the average balance outstanding in the portfolio from $25.6 million
for the three months ended March 31, 1998 to $25.8 million for the three months
ended March 31, 1999. Despite the fact that the average yield on the portfolio
declined from 6.35% for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 to 6.00% for the
quarter ended March 31, 1999. The decline in the yield on the portfolio was a
result of maturing or called investment securities that were replaced at lower
yields.
Interest income from the mortgage-backed securities held-to-maturity portfolio
totaled $138,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1999, compared to $281,000
for the same period in 1998. Continued prepayments on the adjustable rate
securities in the portfolio caused the average balance in the portfolio to
decline to $9.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 from $15.3 million
for the quarter ended March 31, 1998. The Company redirected the cash flow from
the portfolio into its lending operations and its investment securities
held-to-maturity portfolio to replace matured or called investment securities.
The result was a decline in interest income from the portfolio, as well as a
decline in the average yield on the portfolio from 7.35% for the quarter ended
March 31, 1998 to 7.15% for the quarter ended March 31, 1999.
Interest paid to depositors totaled $1.0 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1999, down $60,000 from the $1.1 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1998. Average deposit balances declined $2.1 million from $89.5
million for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 to $87.4 million for the quarter
ended March 31, 1999.
<PAGE>
Interest on FHLB advances was $306,000 for the three months ended March 31,
1999, compared to $122,000 for the same period in 1998. The increase was a
direct result of the continued increase in total FHLB advances in the Company's
wholesale investment security arbitrage and its program to match fund 15 year
loans with advances.
Total interest expense as a percentage of average interest costing liabilities
was approximately 4.84% for the three months ended March 31, 1999, compared to
4.97% for the three months ended March 31, 1998.
Provision For Loan Losses. The Company made no provision for loan losses for the
quarter ended March 31, 1999 or for the quarter ended March 31, 1998. [See -
"Asset Quality"]
Noninterest Income. Noninterest income totaled $75,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1999, compared to $99,000 for the same period in 1998, a $24,000
decrease.
The decrease was primarily the result of a decline in gains on sales of interest
earning assets to $29,000 for the current quarter from the $42,000 reported for
the same quarter in 1998. The decrease was attributable to fewer mortgage loans
being sold into the secondary market as the Company implemented its program of
placing all 15 year and shorter loans into portfolio. Additionally, loan
servicing fees declined to $19,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1999 from
$27,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1998. Despite the fact that the balance
of loans serviced increased from March 31, 1998 to March 31, 1999, the Company
was forced to write-off previously recorded origination mortgage servicing
rights income due to increased refinancing activity. In comparison, loan
origination fees increased to $23,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1999
from $19,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998. The increase was
attributable to an increase in lending activity for the current quarter compared
to the same quarter in 1998.
Noninterest Expenses. Noninterest expenses totaled $772,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1999, compared to $678,000 for the three months ended March 31,
1998.
The increase in noninterest expense was partially the result of a $58,000
increase in compensation and benefits expense from $461,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1998 to $519,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1999.
Also, there was a $23,000 increase in occupancy and equipment from $46,000 for
the three months ended March 31, 1998 to $69,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1999. The increase in both compensation and benefits expense and
occupancy and equipment expense was essentially the result of additional
compensation for the staffing of a new full-service office opened for business
during the current quarter. Also, additional expenses associated with the
funding of the Company's defined benefit pension plan and additional expenses
associated with the Company's Employee Stock Ownership Plan accounted for a
portion of the increase in compensation and benefits expense.
Provision For Income Taxes. The Company incurred federal income tax expense of
$40,000 or 40.8% of pre-tax income for the three months ended March 31, 1999,
compared to $91,000 or 36.7% of pre-tax income for the three months ended March
31, 1998.
<PAGE>
COMPARISON OF THE SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999 AND MARCH 31, 1998
General. For the six months ended March 31, 1999, the Company reported net
income of $233,000 or $.17 per common share and $.17 per common share - assuming
dilution, compared to $302,000 or $.21 per common share and $.20 per common
share - assuming dilution for the six months ended March 31, 1998. The decrease
in net income was attributable to a $56,000 decline in net interest income after
provisions for loan losses and a $114,000 increase in noninterest operating
expenses, which were partially offset by a $66,000 increase in noninterest
income and a $35,000 decrease in income tax expense.
Net Interest Income. For the six months ended March 31, 1999, net interest
income after provisions for loan losses totaled $1.6 million, a decrease of
$56,000 from the $1.7 million reported for the six months ended March 31, 1998.
On an annualized basis, the $1.6 million in net interest income after provisions
for loan losses for the current period was approximately 2.59% of average
interest earning assets and 2.50% of average total assets. For the six months
ended March 31, 1998, the $1.7 million in net interest income after provisions
for loan losses was approximately 2.91% of average interest earning assets and
2.87% of average total assets. Average interest earning assets were
approximately $124.6 million for the six months ended March 31, 1999, compared
to $114.7 million for the six months ended March 31, 1998.
Total interest income was $4.3 million or 6.91% of average interest earning
assets for the six months ended March 31, 1999, compared to $4.1 million or
7.12% of average interest earning assets for the six months ended March 31,
1998. The increase in total interest income is attributable to the increase in
average outstanding balance of interest earning assets. The decline in average
yield on interest earning assets was a result of continued lower interest rates
and a continued narrowing of the difference in short and long term interest
rates. Cash flow from the Company's interest earning assets are being redeployed
in lower yielding assets in the current interest rate and the result is a
decline in the average yield on the Company's interest earning asset portfolio.
Interest income on loans receivable totaled $2.4 million for the six months
ended March 31, 1999, unchanged from the $2.4 million reported for the six
months ended March 31, 1998. The continued level of interest income on loans
receivable, despite a decline in the average yield on the portfolio, was a
direct result of the increase in balances outstanding in the portfolio as the
Company continued its policy of placing into portfolio the majority of the loans
it originates. Average loans receivable balance increased to $61.4 million for
the six months ended March 31, 1999 from $59.2 million for the six months ended
March 31, 1998. For the six months ended March 31, 1999, the $2.4 million in
interest income on loans receivable was approximately 7.77%, compared to 7.97%
for the six months ended March 31, 1998.
Interest income from mortgage-backed securities available-for sale totaled
$577,000 for the six months ended March 31, 1999, compared to $169,000 for the
six months ended March 31, 1998. Interest income from this portfolio is part of
the Company's program, begun in June of 1997, to borrow funds from the FHLB and
invest in mortgage-related securities in an effort to achieve a positive margin
on the difference in the investment yield and the cost of the borrowings. At
March 31, 1999, the Company had approximately $22.1 million invested in the
program. [See "Financial Condition"]
Interest income on investment securities held-to-maturity totaled $885,000 for
the six months ended March 31, 1999, compared to $800,000 for the six months
ended March 31, 1998. The increase in interest income on the portfolio was the
result of a $4.3 million increase in the average balance outstanding, despite a
<PAGE>
decline in the overall yield on the portfolio as maturing securities were
reinvested at lower yields. For the six months ended March 31, 1999, the
$885,000 in interest income was approximately 6.23% of the average balance
outstanding, compared to 6.65% for the $800,000 reported for the six months
ended March 31, 1998.
Interest income on mortgage-backed securities held-to-maturity was $317,000 for
the six months ended March 31, 1999, compared to $596,000 for the six months
ended March 31, 1998. The decline in interest income on the portfolio was
primarily the result of a decline in the average balance outstanding in the
portfolio from $15.2 million for the six months ended March 31, 1998 to $9.3
million for the six months ended March 31, 1999. The Company redirected cash
flow from the portfolio into its lending operations, its investment securities
available-for-sale portfolio, and its investment securities held-to-maturity
portfolio. The adjustable rate feature of the underlying loans in the
securities, the higher coupon rates on such loans, and lower rates of interest
on fixed interest mortgage loans have caused borrowers on the underlying loans
to seek out opportunities to refinance their mortgages. The result has been an
increase in the cash flow from the portfolio, which resulted in the decline in
the average balances in the portfolio.
Interest expense was $2.7 million for the six months ended March 31, 1999, an
increase of $273,000 from the $2.4 million reported for the six month period
ended March 31, 1998. An increase in average interest costing liabilities,
including advances from the FHLB, from $95.8 million for the six months ended
March 31, 1998 to $107.8 million for the six months ended March 31, 1999
primarily accounted for the increase in interest expense. The $2.7 million in
interest expense reported for the six month period ended March 31, 1999 was
approximately 4.98% of average interest costing liabilities, compared to 5.04%
for the same period in 1998.
Noninterest Income. Noninterest income was $242,000 for the six months ended
March 31, 1999, compared to $176,000 for the six months ended March 31, 1998.
The increase in income was directly attributable to additional gains on sales of
interest earning assets, additional loan origination fees, and other income. The
increase in other income was a result of a one time collection of a deficiency
judgment on a previously foreclosed real estate owned property of approximately
$30,000.
Gains on sales on interest earning assets totaled $105,000 for the six month
period ended March 31, 1999, compared to $63,000 for the six months ended March
31, 1998. Loan origination and commitment fees were $47,000 for the six months
ended March 31, 1999, compared to $42,000 for the six months ended March 31,
1998. The increases were directly attributable to additional lending activity of
the Company during the current period and to the fact that during the first
three months of the six month period ended March 31, 1999, the Company sold more
loans into the secondary market than during the comparable period in 1998.
Offsetting the increases in noninterest income was a $19,000 decline in loan
servicing fees from $49,000 for the six months ended March 31, 1998 to $30,000
for the six months ended March 31, 1999. The decline in loan servicing fees is
attributable to the Company's election to write-off previously recorded
origination mortgage servicing rights income as loans serviced were refinanced
with shorter maturities.
<PAGE>
Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense was reported as $1.5 million for the
six month period ended March 31, 1999, a $114,000 increase from the $1.4 million
reported for the six months ended March 31, 1998.
The increase in noninterest expense was primarily the result of a $76,000
increase in compensation and benefits expense from $953,000 for the six months
ended March 31, 1998 to $1.0 million for the six months ended March 31, 1999.
The increase in compensation and benefits expense was essentially the result of
additional compensation for additional staff employed at the Company's new
office location. Also, additional expenses associated with the funding of the
Company's defined benefit pension plan and additional expenses associated with
the Company's Employee Stock Ownership Plan accounted for a portion of the
increase.
Occupancy and equipment expense totaled $115,000 for the six months ended March
31, 1999, compared to $94,000 for the six months ended March 31, 1998. The
increase was attributable to additional expenses associated with the opening of
a new full-service office.
Provision For Income Taxes. The Company incurred federal income tax expense of
$139,000 or 37.3% of pre-tax income for the six months ended March 31, 1999,
compared to $174,000 or 36.5% of pre-tax income for the six months ended March
31, 1998.
ASSET QUALITY
At March 31, 1999, the Company's non-performing assets totaled $329,000 or .25%
of total assets, compared to $228,000 or .18% of total assets at September 30,
1998. At March 31, 1999, non-performing assets were comprised of sixteen (16)
loans, the largest of which was $133,000, secured by a single family dwelling.
Non-performing loans at March 31, 1999 equaled $329,000 or .53% of loans
receivable, compared to $228,000 or .37% of loans receivable at September 30,
1998.
Classified assets totaled $598,000 or .44% of total assets at March 31, 1999,
compared to $570,000 or .46% of total assets at September 30, 1998.
Classified assets and non-performing assets differ in that classified assets may
include loans less than ninety (90) days delinquent. Also, assets guaranteed by
government agencies such as the Veterans Administration and the Federal Housing
Administration are not included in classified assets but are included in
non-performing assets. All classified assets at March 31, 1999, were deemed to
be "substandard". No assets were classified "doubtful" or "loss" as of such
date.
The Company's allowance for loan losses totaled $232,000 at March 31, 1999, a
slight decrease from the $233,000 at September 30, 1998. The allowance for loan
losses as a percentage of loans receivable equaled .38% at March 31, 1999 and
September 30, 1998.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's principal sources of funds are deposits from customers, advances
from the FHLB, amortization and prepayment of loan principal (including
mortgage-backed securities), maturities of securities, sales of loans and
operations.
<PAGE>
Current Office of Thrift Supervision regulations require the Association to
maintain, at a minimum, cash and eligible investments, in an amount of not less
than 4.0% of net withdrawable savings accounts and borrowings payable on demand
or in one year or less. Liquid assets include cash on hand, unpledged demand
deposits, certain time deposits, and, U. S Government and agency obligations.
The Association maintains a liquid asset ratio above the minimum required level
of the Office of Thrift Supervision. At March 31, 1999, the Association's liquid
asset ratio equaled 36.6%.
The Association uses its liquidity and capital resources principally to meet
ongoing commitments to fund maturing certificates of deposit and loan
commitments, maintain liquidity and pay operating expenses. At March 31, 1999,
the Association had outstanding commitments to extend credit on $4.7 million of
real estate loans.
Management believes that present levels of liquid assets are sufficient to meet
anticipated future loan commitments as well as deposit withdrawal demands.
Total stockholders' equity equaled $19.7 million at March 31, 1999, a decrease
of $636,000 from the $20.4 million reported at September 30, 1998. The decrease
was the result of the $730,000 increase in treasury stock, a $45,000 increase in
unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities, and the $140,000 cash
dividend paid during the quarter. The decrease was offset by the $233,000 net
income reported for the six month period ended March 31, 1999, and a $49,000
decrease in deferred compensation.
As of March 31, 1999, the Company's reported book value per share, using total
stockholders' equity of $19.7 million (net of the cost of unallocated ESOP and
RRP shares) and 1,392,853 outstanding shares of common stock (the total issued
shares including unallocated ESOP and RRP shares, less treasury shares), equaled
$14.18 per share.
Subsequent to the quarter ended March 31, 1999, the Company announced its
intention to pay a cash dividend of $.05 per share on May 26, 1999, to
stockholders of record at May 12, 1999.
Under the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989
("FIRREA"), Congress imposed a three part capital requirement for thrift
institutions. At March 31, 1999, the Association's actual and required capital
amounts under each of the three requirements were as follows:
- - Tangible Capital (stockholders' equity) was $18.9 million or 14.0% of total
assets, exceeding the minimum requirement of 1.5% by $16.9 million.
- - Core Capital (Tangible capital plus certain intangible assets) was $18.9
million or 14.0% of total assets, exceeding the minimum requirement of 4.0% by
$13.5 million.
- - Risk-based Capital (Core capital plus general loan and valuation allowances
less an adjustment for capitalized mortgage servicing rights) equaled $18.9
8.0% of risk weighted assets by $14.6 million.
At March 31, 1999, the Association was considered a "well capitalized"
institution under the prompt corrective action requirements of the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991.
<PAGE>
YEAR 2000 ISSUE
The Year 2000 or Century Date Change issue is a result of computer programs
being written using two digits rather than four digits to define the applicable
year. A computer system's inability to recognize the date "00" as the year 2000
of if the system recognized the date "00" as the year 1900, could result in a
system failure or miscalculations causing disruptions of operations. The Company
outsources its primary computer processing functions.
The Company has established a management committee to identify all of its
systems potentially affected by the year 2000 and to ensure that reprogramming
of affected systems is completed. The committee is responsible for testing all
company computer systems and ensuring that all third party computer system
vendors complete Year 2000 remediation.
The Company has undergone two examinations from its primary regulatory
authority, the OTS. The Company received satisfactory ratings on both such
exams. During the remainder of 1999, the Company will focus its Year 2000
efforts on customer awareness. The Company will be involved in training its
employees to answer customer inquiries about Year 2000 issues and will continue
to advise its customers about the Company's ongoing efforts.
The Company believes that the risk that the major data processing service
provider will not be Year 2000 compliant is low. The Company has also received
correspondence from all other third party software providers that indicate that
all of such software will be Year 2000 compliant.
The Company has budgeted approximately $25,000 for its Year 2000 program. As of
March 31, 1999, the Company has expensed or is aware of future expenditures
totaling approximately $10,000.
