NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

 

June 30, 2003

 

Note 1—Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The statement of condition at December 31, 2002 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. Operating results for the three-month and six month periods ended June 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2003. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the annual report for Kankakee Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.

 

Note 2—Earnings (Loss) Per Share

 

Basic earnings (loss) per share of common stock have been determined by dividing net income (loss) for the period by the average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per share of common stock have been determined by dividing net income for the period by the average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding. Common stock equivalents assume exercise of stock options, and the purchase of treasury stock with the option proceeds at the average market price for the period (when dilutive). The Company has an incentive stock option plan for the benefit of directors, officers and employees. Diluted earnings per share have been determined considering the stock options granted, net of stock options which have been exercised.

Note 3—Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities

Table of Contents

At June 30, 2003, stockholders’ equity included an unrealized gain of $1.4 million, which represents the amount by which the market value of the available-for-sale securities and the available-for-sale mortgage-backed securities exceeded the book value, net of income tax of $706,000. An increase in market interest rates during the six months ended June 30, 2003 resulted in a $264,000 decrease in the market value, net of income tax effect, of the available-for-sale securities and the available-for-sale mortgage-backed securities. At the end of 2002, the market value of the available-for-sale securities portfolio exceeded the book value by $1.6 million, net of income tax benefit.

 

Note 4—Commitments and Contingencies

 

KFS Bank, F.S.B. (the “Bank”), the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, is party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, and financial guarantees. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk. The contract or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Bank has in particular classes of financial instruments.

 

The Bank’s exposure to credit loss, in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instruments for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit, is represented by the contractual notional amount of those instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

 

Financial instruments whose contract amount represent credit risk follows:

 

    

June 30,

2003


   December 31,
2002


Commitments to originate new loans

   $ 34,780,000    $ 19,100,000

Commitments to extend credit

     31,384,000      31,106,000

Standby letters of credit

     1,533,000      1,228,000

 

Such commitments are recorded in the financial statements when they are funded or related fees are incurred or received. These commitments are principally at variable interest rates.

 

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

 

Standby letters of credit written are conditional commitments issued by the bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements, including commercial paper, bond financing, and similar transactions. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. In the event the customer does not perform in accordance with the terms of the agreement with the third party, the Bank would be required to fund the commitment. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Bank could be required to make is represented by the contractual amount shown in the summary above. If the commitment is funded, the Bank would be entitled to seek

recovery from the customer. At June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, no amounts have been recorded as liabilities for the Bank’s potential obligations under these guarantees.

 

The Company and the Bank do not engage in the use of interest rate swaps, futures, forwards, or option contracts.

 

Note 5—Stock-Based Employee Compensation

 

The Company had one stock-based employee compensation plan which was in existence for all periods presented. As permitted under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, grants of options under the plan are accounted for under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations. Because options granted under the plan had an exercise price equal to market value of the underlying common stock on the date of the grant, no stock-based employee compensation cost is included in determining net income. Stock options were granted to newly elected directors in December 2001 and 2002 and vested immediately. As a result, there was no compensation expense to be recognized for the three months or six months ended June 30, 2002, under APB Opinion No. 25 or the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.

 

The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to stock-based employee compensation for stock options granted in 2003.

The fair value of the stock options granted in 2003 has been estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions. The Black-Scholes option pricing model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions. In addition, such models require the use of subjective assumptions, including expected stock price volatility. In management’s opinion, such valuation models may not necessarily provide the best single measure of option value.

Note 6—Pending Accounting Standards

 

Financial Accounting Statement No 149—Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

 

In April 2003, Statement on Financial Accounting Standards No. 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, was issued. This Statement amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging activities under FASB Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. This Statement is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003, except as indicated in the Standard and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. In addition, except as stated below, all provisions of this Statement should be applied prospectively. The provisions of this Statement that relate to Statement 133 Implementation Issues that have been effective for fiscal quarters that began prior to June 15, 2003, should continue to be applied in accordance with their respective effective dates. In addition, paragraphs 7(a) and 23(a), which relate to forward purchases or sales of when-issued securities or other securities that do not yet exist, should be applied to both existing contracts and new contracts entered into after June 30, 2003. The Company does not anticipate this statement having a significant impact upon the operations of the Company or the Bank.

 

Financial Accounting Statement No 150—Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity

 

In May 2003, Statement on Financial Accounting Standards No. 150 Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity was issued. This Statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances). Many of those instruments were previously classified as equity.

 

This Statement requires an issuer to classify the following instruments as liabilities (or assets in some circumstances):

 

  n   A financial instrument issued in the form of shares that is mandatorily redeemable—that embodies an unconditional obligation requiring the issuer to redeem it by transferring its assets at a specified or determinable date (or dates) or upon an event that is certain to occur

 

  n   A financial instrument, other than an outstanding share, that, at inception, embodies an obligation to repurchase the issuer’s equity shares, or is indexed to such an obligation, and that requires or may require the issuer to settle the obligation by transferring assets (for example, a forward purchase contract or written put option on the issuer’s equity shares that is to be physically settled or net cash settled)

 

12


Table of Contents
  n   A financial instrument that embodies an unconditional obligation, or a financial instrument other than an outstanding share that embodies a conditional obligation, that the issuer must or may settle by issuing a variable number of its equity shares, if, at inception, the monetary value of the obligation is based solely or predominantly on any of the following:

 

    A fixed monetary amount known at inception, for example, a payable settleable with a variable number of the issuer’s equity shares

 

    Variations in something other than the fair value of the issuer’s equity shares, for example, a financial instrument indexed to the S&P 500 and settleable with a variable number of the issuer’s equity shares

 

    Variations inversely related to changes in the fair value of the issuer’s equity shares, for example, a written put option that could be net share settled.

 

The requirements of this Statement apply to issuers’ classification and measurement of freestanding financial instruments, including those that comprise more than one option or forward contract.

 

This Statement is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. It is to be implemented by reporting the cumulative effect of a change in an accounting principle for financial instruments created before the issuance date of the Statement and still existing at the beginning of the interim period of adoption. Restatement is not permitted.

 

The Company does not anticipate this statement having a significant impact upon the operations of the Company or the Bank.

 

ITEM 2.   Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

GENERAL

 

The Company serves the financial needs of families and local businesses in its primary market areas through its main banking office at 310 South Schuyler Avenue, Kankakee, Illinois and thirteen branch offices located in the communities of Ashkum, Bourbonnais, Bradley, Braidwood, Champaign, Coal City (2), Diamond, Dwight, Herscher, Manteno, Momence and Urbana, Illinois. The Company’s business involves attracting deposits from the general public and using such deposits to originate residential mortgage loans and, to a lesser extent, commercial real estate, consumer, commercial business, multi-family and construction loans in its market areas. The Company also invests in investment securities, mortgage-backed securities and various types of short term liquid assets.

 

During the second quarter of 2003, the Company announced a merger with Aviston Financial Corporation. Aviston has approximately $98 million in total assets and operates three locations in southwestern Illinois, including its newest office in Fairview Heights which is 10 miles from downtown St. Louis. As part of the transaction, Kankakee and Aviston will also combine their subsidiary banks, and the resulting institution will have approximately 210 employees. The merger of Kankakee and Aviston, which is subject to stockholder and regulatory approval, is expected to close in mid-September of 2003.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

 

The Company’s total assets were $517.0 million at June 30, 2003, a decrease of $29.4 million, or 5.4%, from total assets of $546.4 million at December 31, 2002.

 

Cash and cash equivalents increased by $25.6 million, or 54.0%, from $47.4 million at December 31, 2002 to $73.0 million at June 30, 2003. The increase was attributable to decreases in loans, investment securities and mortgage-backed securities.

 

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2003, net loans receivable decreased by $40.7 million, or 10.6%, from $384.2 million to $343.5 million. This was primarily the result of loan repayments which totaled $113.0 million and the sale of $6.4 million in loans as part of the sale of the Hoopeston, Illinois branch during the first quarter of 2003, which were substantially offset by the origination of $90.4 million of real estate loans and the origination of $24.3 million of consumer and commercial business loans.

 

Loans held for sale increased by $356,000, from $128,000 at December 31, 2002 to $484,000 at June 30, 2003. This was the result of the origination of $32.0 million of loans held for sale, which was offset by the sale of $32.5 million of such loans, at a net gain of $862,000. The level of borrower refinancing remained strong through the second quarter of 2003, with interest rates reduced to levels not seen in decades. Gains on the sale of loans have been greatly enhanced by these factors. Management cannot assume that interest rates will remain at current levels or that refinancing volume will continue at current levels.

 

Securities available-for-sale decreased by $6.8 million, or 15.3%, to $37.7 million at June 30, 2003 from $44.5 million at December 31, 2002 as the result of the maturity or the exercise of call options by issuers on $17.5 million of securities, which was partially offset by purchases of $10.7 million in such securities, and by a minimal net change in market value adjustments.

 

Mortgage-backed securities available-for-sale decreased by $10.9 million, or 28.4%, to $27.3 million at June 30, 2003 from $38.2 million at December 31, 2002. The decrease resulted from the maturity of $10.4 million of securities, and by the net change in market value adjustments.

 

Premises and equipment increased by $2.4 million, or 23.9%, to $12.8 million. The increase was primarily due to a purchase of land for a new branch.

 

Deposits decreased by $6.4 million, or 1.5%, from $432.0 million at December 31, 2002 to $425.6 million at June 30, 2003. During the six month period, $17.2 million in certificate of deposit accounts and $2.2 million in passbook, checking and money market accounts were sold with the Hoopeston branch. In addition, there was a $14.0 million decrease in certificate of deposit accounts and a $27.2 million increase in passbook, checking and money market accounts. This was primarily due to management’s strategy to increase lower interest bearing accounts as a percentage of its deposit base.

 

Total borrowings decreased by $11.0 million, or 18.4%, from $59.7 million at December 31, 2002 to $48.7 million at June 30, 2003. The decrease was the result of $11.8 million in repayments, which were partially offset by new borrowings of $800,000. Borrowings at June 30, 2003 consisted of $29.5 million in advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago, $800,000 in funds drawn on a line-of-credit and $18.4 million in funds from securities sold under agreement to repurchase. Additionally, there were $10.0 million of trust preferred debentures outstanding at both June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002.

NON-PERFORMING ASSETS AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOSSES ON LOANS

 

The Company’s non-performing assets decreased to $9.6 million, or 1.9%, of total assets at June 30, 2003 from $11.1 million, or 2.0% of total assets at December 31, 2002. This represented a decrease of $1.4 million over the six-month period. Changes in individual loan categories are detailed in the following table:

Non-performing assets are presented on a gross balance basis and the totals have not been reduced by specific allowances.

 

The ratio of the allowance for losses on loans to non-performing loans increased to 97.6% as of June 30, 2003 compared to 63.5% as of December 31, 2002. The increase in this ratio, which excludes foreclosed assets and restructured troubled debt, was the result of the increase of $2.4 million in the allowance for losses on loans.

 

The Company classified $4.9 million of its assets as Special Mention, $5.5 million as Substandard and $3.0 million as Loss at June 30, 2003. No assets were classified as Doubtful at June 30, 2003. This represents a decrease of $1.1 million in the Special Mention category and a net decrease of $1.5 million in the other categories from the December 31, 2002 totals for classified assets. The ratio of classified assets to total assets (including items classified as Special Mention) was 2.59% at June 30, 2003 as compared to 2.93% at December 31, 2002. The ratio of the allowance for losses on loans to classified assets increased to 66.8% as of June 30, 2003.

 

During the second quarter of 2003, the Company completed a previously disclosed special six-month commercial loan portfolio review and adopted a new, comprehensive loan policy. To lead this review, the Company retained an experienced outside consultant with over 25 years experience in lending and workouts and subsequently hired the consultant as a full-time Vice President of Commercial Lending, reporting directly to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. The Vice President and a team of experienced lending professionals reviewed 160 loans that totaled $56.5 million, including all loans, and groups of loans, over $1 million.

Table of Contents

The review team recently reported its recommendation to both the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors. Based in part on additional information gathered during the review process, the report concluded that additional provisions were required, the majority of which centered on a previously-reported group of borrowers. This group of real estate related loans was the subject of a $3.1 million loan loss provision taken in the third quarter of 2002. Upon the recommendation of the review team, the Company is taking an additional charge of $3.1 millon against this group of loans during the second quarter of 2003.

 

In addition, the review team recommended several additional actions. First, they recommended an additional increase in the provision for loan losses of $0.6 million, both for specified (identified) loans and general reserves. Second, the review team recommended that $3.5 million of loans should be reclassified as non-accruing. Third, new procedures were recommended to be added to the loan review process. The Company’s Board of Directors adopted the recommendations of the credit review team, including the $3.7 million provision to be taken in the second quarter of 2003.

 

We have a concern for the outlook of the economy during the remainder of 2003. A slowdown in economic activity beginning in 2001 severely impacted several major industries as well as the economy as a whole. Even though there are numerous indications of emerging strength, it is not certain that this strength is sustainable. In addition, consumer confidence may be negatively impacted by the substantial decline in equity markets. These events could adversely affect cash flows for both commercial and individual borrowers, as a result of which, we could experience increases in problem assets, delinquencies and losses on loans. Many financial institutions have experienced an increase in non-performing assets during this difficult economic period, as even well-established business borrowers have developed cash flow, profitability and other business-related problems.

 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Accounting policies, the implementation of which requires difficult, complex or subjective judgments on the part of management are critical to the Company’s financial condition and results of operations, and they may relate to matters that are inherently uncertain. Changes in facts and circumstances can result in material changes in estimates determined under these policies. Changes in interest rates, deterioration in the performance of the economy, changes in laws and regulations and deterioration in the financial condition of borrowers are among those facts and circumstances that could affect the evaluation process. Management believes that the Company’s critical accounting policies include determining the allowance for losses on loans.

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2003 AND 2002

 

The net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 was $1.5 million compared to net income of $938,000 for the same period in 2002. This represented a $2.4 million decrease. The decrease in net income resulted from a decrease in net interest income of $416,000 (10.2%), an increase in other expenses of $225,000 (6.7%), and an increase in provision for losses on loans of $3.2 million (693.8%). These items were partially offset by an increase in other income of $2,000 (0.2%). Basic losses per share were $1.61 for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 compared to basic earnings per share of $0.78 for the comparable 2002 quarter. Diluted losses per share were $1.61 for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 compared to diluted earnings per share of $0.77 for the comparable 2002 quarter.

As Table I indicates, interest income decreased $1.7 million, or 20.1%, to $6.6 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2003 compared to the $8.3 million for the same period in 2002. The decrease in interest income was the result of a decrease in the yield earned on interest-earning assets to 5.6% during the 2003 period from 6.6% during the 2002 period. The average balance of interest-earning assets decreased $27.5 million, or 5.5%, during the 2003 period from $503.2 million during the 2002 period. The decrease in the average balance of interest-earning assets was due to decreases in balances of loans during the quarter. The decrease in the yield earned on interest-earning assets was the result of decreasing market interest rates during the quarter, which resulted in lower yields on short term assets and a lower yield on the reinvestment of principal repayments and prepayments on loans and on newly originated loans. The decrease in average loans was primarily the result of the refinancing of loans in the mortgage portfolio in the current low interest rate environment. Most such long-term, fixed-rate mortgage loans were sold with servicing retained.

 

Interest expense decreased $1.3 million, or 29.7%, to $3.0 million during the second quarter of 2003 from $4.2 million in the same period in 2002. The decrease in interest expense was the result of a decrease in the average yield on interest-bearing liabilities to 2.5% during the 2003 period from 3.4% during the 2002 period and a decrease in the average outstanding balance of interest-bearing liabilities to $481.6 million during the 2003 period from $495.0 million during the 2002 period. The decrease in average interest-bearing liabilities resulted from a decreased use of borrowed funds. The decrease in the average yield on interest-bearing liabilities resulted from decreasing market interest rates and continuing improvement in the deposit mix, with a higher ratio of non-certificate deposit accounts.

 

The provision for losses on loans totaled $3.7 million during the second quarter of 2003, compared to $464,000 during the second quarter of 2002. The amount of the provision for losses on loans is determined through regular review of the various elements of the loan portfolio, and by a review of overall adequacy, based on circumstances and factors known at the time of the review. The increase in the provision for losses on loans during the second quarter of 2003 was a direct result of management’s analysis of the commercial loan portfolio.

 

Other income for the three-month period ended June 30, 2003 increased $2,000, or 0.2%, to $1.1 million compared to $1.1 million for the same period in 2002. The slight increase was attributable to increases of $306,000 (176.0%) in gain on sales of loans held for sale, which was the result of more aggressive pricing and better spreads on the loans sold during the 2003 period compared to the 2002 period. This increase in other income was partially offset by a decrease of $279,000 (41.6%) in fee income, which included an expense of $281,000 from the revaluation of the carrying value of mortgage servicing rights. In general, as interest rates decline, refinancings increase and lower the value of servicing rights.

 

Other expenses for the second quarter of 2003 were $3.6 million, or $225,000 (6.7%), greater than those for the second quarter of 2002. There were increases of $123,000 (6.9%) in compensation and benefits, $63,000 (43.6%) in furniture and equipment expense, $54,000 (69.0%) in telephone and postage. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $48,000 (100.0%) in the provision for losses on foreclosed assets. The increase in compensation and benefits was primarily due to $225,000 in severance benefits for three senior officers who terminated employment with the Company. Increases in furniture and equipment expenses and telephone and postage expenses were due to increased depreciation and new communications systems, respectively.

Income taxes decreased $1.4 million to a benefit of $1.0 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2003, compared to an expense of $414,000 for the same period in 2002. The primary reason for this decrease was the decrease in pre-tax income for the quarter.

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2003 AND 2002

 

The net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was $132,000 compared to net income $1.8 million for the same period in 2002. This represented a $2.0 million, or 107.2% decrease. The decrease in net income resulted from an increase in the provision for losses on loans of $3.1 million, an increase in other expenses of $514,000 (7.6%) and a decrease in net interest income of $272,000 (3.4%). These items were partially offset by an increase in other income of $784,000 (37.8%). Basic losses per share were $0.13 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to basic earnings per share of $1.51 for the comparable 2002 period. Diluted losses per share were $0.13 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 compared to diluted earnings per share of $1.49 for the comparable 2002 period, representing a decrease of 108.7%.

 

Net interest income decreased $272,000, or 3.4%, during the six months ended June 30, 2003, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2002. Table II, presented on the following page, sets forth an analysis of the Company’s net interest income for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002.

As Table II indicates, interest income decreased $272,000, or 3.4%, to $7.7 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2003 compared to the $7.9 million for the same period in 2002. The decrease in interest income was the result of a decrease in the yield earned on interest-earning assets to 5.8% during the 2003 period from 6.7% during the 2002 period. The average balance of interest-earning assets decreased $170,000, or 0.03%, during the 2003 period from $485.9 million during the 2002 period. The decrease in the yield earned on interest-

Table of Contents

earning assets was the result of decreasing market interest rates during the period, which resulted in lower yields on short term assets and a lower yield on the reinvestment of principal repayments and prepayments on loans and on newly originated loans.

 

Interest expense decreased $1.9 million, or 22.6%, to $6.3 million during the first six months from $8.2 million in the same period in 2002. The decrease in interest expense was the result of a decrease in the average yield on interest-bearing liabilities to 2.6% during the 2003 period from 3.5% during the 2002 period. The increase in average interest-bearing liabilities resulted from an increased use of borrowed funds. The decrease in the average yield on interest-bearing liabilities resulted from decreasing market interest rates and continuing improvement in the deposit mix, with a higher ratio of non-certificate deposit accounts.

 

The provision for losses on loans totaled $3.7 million during the first six months of 2003, compared to $612,000 during the first six months of 2002. The amount of the provision for losses on loans is determined through regular review of the various elements of the loan portfolio, and by a review of overall adequacy, based on circumstances and factors known at the time of the review as previously discussed.

 

Other income for the six-month period ended June 30, 2003 increased $784,000, or 37.8%, to $2.9 million compared to $2.1 million for the same period in 2002. The increase was attributable to increases of $450,000 (109.3%) in gain on sales of loans held for sale, which was in part the result of more aggressive pricing and better spreads on the loans sold during the 2003 period compared to the 2002 period. The unprecedented volume of mortgage originations continued during the first half of the year. While mortgage rates remain near historically low levels, management does not anticipate that this level of mortgage sales gains will continue throughout the remainder of the year. The year to date income also reflects a gain of $478,000 from the sale of a branch office in the first quarter of 2003. This increase in other income was partially offset by a decrease of $237,000 (18.8%) in fee income, which included an expense of $281,000 from the revaluation of the carrying value of mortgage servicing rights. In general, as interest rates decline, refinancings increase and lower the value of servicing rights.

 

Other expenses for the first half of 2003 increased $514,000 or 7.6%, to $7.3 million from $6.8 million during the 2002 period. There were increases of $90,000 (30.8%) in furniture and equipment expenses, $228,000 (6.4%) in compensation and benefits, $56,000 (26.19%) in telephone and postage, $62,000 (10.5%) in occupancy expense and $42,000 (27.1%) in advertising. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $44,000 (81.7%) in the provision for losses on foreclosed assets. The increase in compensation and benefits was primarily due to $225,000 of severance benefits for three senior officers of the Company.

 

Income taxes decreased $1.2 million to a benefit of $377,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2003, compared to an expense of $799,000 for the same period in 2002. The primary reason for this increase was the increase in pre-tax income for the quarter.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

The Company maintains a certain level of cash and other liquid assets to fund normal volumes of loan commitments, deposit withdrawals and other obligations. The Office of Thrift Supervision (the “OTS”) regulations currently require each savings association to maintain sufficient liquidity to ensure its safe and sound operation.

 

The Company’s primary sources of funds are deposits and proceeds from payments of principal and interest on loans and the sale or maturity of investment securities and mortgage-

Table of Contents

backed securities. Management considers current liquidity and additional sources of funds adequate to meet outstanding liquidity needs.

 

The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory—and possibly additional discretionary—actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Bank’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank’s capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

 

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of Tangible and Core capital (as defined by the regulations) to tangible assets (as defined) and Total and Tier I capital (as defined) to risk-weighted assets (as defined). Management believes, as of June 30, 2003, that the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.

 

As of the most recent notification from the Office of Thrift Supervision (the “OTS”), categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier I risk-based and Tier I leverage ratios as set forth in the table below. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s category.

ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT

 

In an attempt to manage its exposure to changes in interest rates, management closely monitors the Company’s interest rate risk. The Bank has a funds management committee, consisting of the chief financial officer, certain vice presidents and the controller of the Bank, which meets weekly and reviews the Bank’s interest rate risk position and evaluates its current asset/liability pricing and strategies. This committee adjusts pricing and strategies as needed and makes recommendations to the Bank’s board of directors regarding significant changes in strategy. In addition, on a quarterly basis the board reviews the Bank’s asset/liability position, including simulations of the effect on the Bank’s capital of various interest rate scenarios.

 

In managing its asset/liability mix, the Company, at times, depending on the relationship between long-term and short-term interest rates, market conditions and consumer preferences, may place somewhat greater emphasis on maximizing its net interest margin than on better matching the interest rate sensitivity of its assets and liabilities in an effort to improve its net income. Management believes that the increased net income resulting from a mismatch in the maturity of its asset and liability portfolios can, during periods of declining or stable interest rates, provide returns that justify the increased exposure to sudden and unexpected increases in interest rates which can result from such a mismatch.

 

The Company attempts to manage its interest rate risk to the extent consistent with its interest margin objectives through management of the mix of its assets and liabilities in a number of ways, including the following:

    The Company prefers to lend on adjustable rate mortgages (“ARMs”) in its one-to-four family residential lending program. However, ARMs are not currently in great demand, and less than 10% of the one-to-four family loans originated during the first half of 2003 were ARMs.

 

    The Company has increased originations of commercial business and construction loans having adjustable or floating interest rates, relatively short terms to maturity, or a combination thereof.

 

    The Company has continued its origination of consumer loans having terms to maturity that are significantly shorter than residential loans.

 

    The Company regularly reviews its policy on newly originated fixed-rate mortgage loans, as to the question of which loans, if any, should be retained in portfolio versus which should be sold in the secondary market. Trends in the economy, trends in market interest rates, the Company’s interest margin and the Company’s current asset/liability mix are among the factors considered. Changes resulting from these reviews take effect on a specific calendar date and impact either those loans which are applied for on or after that date, or those loans which are closed on or after that date.

 

The Company currently does not enter into derivative financial instruments including futures, forwards, interest rate risk swaps, option contracts, or other financial instruments with similar characteristics. However, the Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers such as commitments to extend credit and letters of credit.

 

ITEM 4.   Controls and Procedures

 

An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Principal Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of June 30, 2003. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s management, including the Principal Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective. There have been no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls.
