South Street Financial Corp. and Subsidiary
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
In management’s opinion, the financial information, which is unaudited, reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial information as of June 30, 2005 and for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of South Street Financial Corp. (the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Home Savings Bank of Albemarle, S.S.B., (“Home Savings” or the “Bank”), the Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiary, South Street Development Corporation (“SSDC”), and SSDC’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Park Ridge Associates, LLC (“Park Ridge”). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Operating results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2005.
The organization and business of the Company, accounting policies followed by the Company and other information are contained in the notes to the consolidated financial statements filed as part of the Company’s 2004 annual report on Form 10-KSB. This quarterly report should be read in conjunction with such annual report.
NOTE B - EARNINGS PER SHARE
The Company’s basic earnings per share is based on net income divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding from the beginning of the period to the end of the period. Diluted earnings per share is adjusted for all potential common stock instruments having a dilutive effect. For purposes of this computation, the number of shares of common stock purchased by the ESOP that have not been allocated to participant accounts are not assumed to be outstanding.
At June 30, 2005 and 2004, there were 449,650 exercisable options outstanding, all of which were antidilutive.
NOTE C - COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
For the quarters ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, total comprehensive income, consisting of net income and unrealized securities gains and losses, net of taxes, was $449,000 and $50,000, respectively.
For the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, total comprehensive income, consisting of net income and unrealized securities gains and losses, net of taxes, was $645,000 and $253,000, respectively.

Item 2 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB contains certain forward-looking statements with respect to the financial condition, results of operations and business of the Company and the Bank. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, and are based on the beliefs and assumptions of management of the Company and the Bank and on the information available to management at the time that these disclosures were prepared. These statements can be identified by the use of words like “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate” and “believe,” variations of these words, and other similar expressions. Readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include, but are not limited to, (1) competition in the Bank’s markets, (2) changes in the interest rate environment, (3) general national, regional or local economic conditions that are less favorable than expected, resulting in, among other things, a deterioration in credit quality and the possible impairment of collectibility of loans, (4) legislative or regulatory changes, including changes in accounting standards, (5) significant changes in the federal and state legal and regulatory environment and tax laws, (6) the impact of changes in monetary and fiscal policies, laws, rules and regulations, and (7) other risks and factors identified in the Company’s other filings with the SEC. The Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements.
Comparison of Financial Condition at
June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004
The Company’s total consolidated assets increased $12.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2005 from $215.5 million at December 31, 2004 to $228.4 million. This increase in our assets resulted primarily from an increase in net loans receivable. Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $12.6 million, from $25.5 million at December 31, 2004 to $12.9 million at June 30, 2005. This decrease in liquid assets occurred principally due to management’s decision to purchase $6.0 million in available for sale securities from the Federal Home Loan Bank. In comparison to prior years, loan rates have been adjusted aggressively to grow the portfolio. As a consequence, the Bank’s loan portfolio increased by $18.9 million, from $152.4 million at December 31, 2004 to $171.3 million at June 30, 2005. The Company has utilized the liquidity provided by the increase in deposits from our customers of $6.4 million and the increase in borrowings of $5.0 million to fund the increase in the loan portfolio.
Comparison of Operating Results for the
Three Months Ended June 30, 2005 and 2004
General.Net income for the three-month period ended June 30, 2005 was $348,000, or $164,000 more than the $183,000 earned during the same period in 2004. This increase in our earnings resulted principally from the increase in interest income of $539,000 during the quarter, which is explained below.
Interest income. Interest income increased by $539,000 from $2.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 to $3.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005. The level of our average interest-earning assets increased from approximately $196.2 million during the second quarter of 2004 to approximately $203.8 million during the second quarter of 2005, which is the result of loan growth for the period. The yield on our average interest-earning assets increased approximately 86 basis points. This increase in our yield resulted primarily from the shift in our earning assets from interest earning deposits to loans and investment securities, which have significantly higher rates than do our interest earning deposits.
- 8 -
Interest expense.Interest expense on deposits and borrowed funds increased by $139,000 from $1.079 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 to $1.218 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005. As with our interest-earning assets, the volume of our interest-bearing liabilities increased from approximately $182.3 million in the second quarter of 2004, to $198.3 million in the second quarter of 2005. The average rates for our interest-bearing liabilities increased approximately 10 basis points in comparison to the first quarter of 2004.
Net interest income. Net interest income increased by $400,000 from $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 to $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005. This increase resulted primarily from the increase in our interest income discussed above.
Provision for loan losses. The provision for loan losses charged to income during the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 was $30,000. Provisions, which are charged to operations, and the resulting loan loss allowance are amounts the Bank’s management believes will be adequate to absorb losses inherent in our loan portfolio. Loans are charged off against the allowance when management believes that collectibility is unlikely.
At June 30, 2005 the Bank’s allowance for loan losses amounted to $635,000, which management believes is adequate to absorb losses inherent in its loan portfolio.
Non-interest income. The Company earned non-interest income of $203,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the $177,000 that was earned during the same period in 2004. This increase in non-interest income of $26,000 was primarily attributable to a decrease in income from bank-owned life insurance along with an increase in origination fees on loans sold to FNMA and an increase in service charges on deposit accounts during the quarter.
Non-interest expense. Non-interest expense increased by $129,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2004. This increase resulted partially from an increase in internal audit fees of approximately $15,000. The increase in compensation expense was due largely to expense associated with normal and expected compensation adjustments, additional personnel, and increases in the cost of employee benefits such as health insurance net of a decrease in expenses associated with the ESOP.
Provision for income taxes. The Company’s effective tax rate (income taxes as a percentage of income before income taxes) was 38.7% for the period ending June 30, 2005 as compared to 32.6% for the period ending June 30, 2004.
Comparison of Operating Results for the
Six Months Ended June 30, 2005 and 2004
General.Net income for the six-month period ended June 30, 2005 was $697,000, or $313,000 more than the $384,000 earned during the same period in 2004. This increase in our earnings resulted principally from the increase in interest income of $837,000 during the current six month period, which is explained below.
Interest income. Interest income increased by $837,000 from $5.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 to $5.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005. The level of our average interest-earning assets increased from approximately $196.2 million during the first half of 2004 to approximately $203.8 million during the first half of 2005, and the yield on our average interest-earning assets increased approximately 63 basis points. This increase in our yield resulted primarily from the shift in our earning assets from interest earning deposits to loans and investment securities, which have significantly higher rates than do our interest earning deposits combined with the increase in yields.
- 9 -
Interest expense.Interest expense on deposits and borrowed funds increased by $134,000 from $2.207 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 to $2.341 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005. As with our interest-earning assets, the volume of our interest-bearing liabilities increased from approximately $182.3 million in the first half of 2004, to $198.3 million in the first half of 2005. The average rates for our interest-bearing liabilities increased approximately 10 basis points in comparison to the first quarter of 2004.
Net interest income. Net interest income increased by $704,000 from $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 to $3.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005. This increase resulted primarily from the increase in our interest income discussed above.
Provision for loan losses. The provision for loan losses charged to income during the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 was $60,000. Provisions, which are charged to operations, and the resulting loan loss allowance are amounts the Bank’s management believes will be adequate to absorb losses inherent in our loan portfolio. Loans are charged off against the allowance when management believes that collectibility is unlikely.
At June 30, 2005 the Bank’s allowance for loan losses amounted to $635,000, which management believes is adequate to absorb losses inherent in its loan portfolio.
Non-interest income. The Company earned non-interest income of $367,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the $362,000 that was earned during the same period in 2004. Non-interest income has remained constant over the six months ended June 30, 2005.
Non-interest expense. Non-interest expense increased by $140,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2004. This increase resulted partially from an increase in internal audit fees due to Section 404 of Sarbanes-Oxley of approximately $31,000. The increase in compensation expense was due largely to expense associated with normal and expected compensation adjustments, additional personnel, and increases in the cost of employee benefits such as health insurance net of a decrease in expenses associated with the ESOP. The increase in other non-interest expense resulted primarily from a $17,000 increase in loan expenses associated with the bank paying all fees on equity loans and $12,000 increase in NOW expenses associated with the opening of our Oakboro Branch, net of a $19,000 decrease in expenses related to the maintenance and repair of foreclosed real estate.
Provision for income taxes. The Company’s effective tax rate (income taxes as a percentage of income before income taxes) was 38.3% for the period ending June 30, 2005 as compared to 31.7% for the period ending June 30, 2004.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The term “liquidity” generally refers to an organization’s ability to generate adequate amounts of funds to meet its needs for cash. More specifically for financial institutions, liquidity ensures that adequate funds are available to meet deposit withdrawals, fund loan and capital expenditure commitments, maintain reserve requirements, pay operating expenses, and provide funds for debt service, dividends to stockholders, and other institutional commitments. Funds are primarily provided through financial resources from operating activities, expansion of the deposit base, borrowings, through the sale or maturity of investments, the ability to raise equity capital, or maintenance of shorter-term interest bearing deposits.

As a state chartered stock savings bank, the Bank must meet certain liquidity requirements that are established by the North Carolina Commissioner of Banks. The Bank’s liquidity ratio at June 30, 2005, as computed under such regulations, was considerably in excess of such requirements. Given its excess liquidity and its ability to borrow from the FHLB of Atlanta, the Bank believes that it will have sufficient funds available to meet anticipated future loan commitments, unexpected deposit withdrawals, or other cash requirements.
The FDIC requires the Bank to have a minimum leverage ratio of Tier I Capital (principally consisting of retained earnings and any common stockholders’ equity, less any intangible assets) to all assets of at least 3%, provided that it receives the highest rating during the examination process. For institutions that receive less than the highest rating, the Tier I capital requirement is 1% to 2% above the stated minimum. The FDIC also requires the Bank to have a ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets of 8%, of which at least 4% must be in the form of Tier I capital. The Commissioner requires a net worth equal to at least 5% of total assets. The Bank complied with all of the capital requirements of both the FDIC and the Commissioner at June 30, 2005.
Item 3. Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this Report, the Company’s management carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company (including its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in the Company’s Exchange Act filings.
There have been no significant changes in internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this Report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
