Financial Statements. (Continued) Note to Consolidated Financial Statements The interim financial statements furnished under this item reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted, as allowed under rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim period presentation. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the complete fiscal year. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Result of Operations. The following analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial statements set forth in Part I, Item 1, immediately preceding this section. Reference is made to the report of the registrant on Form 10-K for the Year ending December 31, 1999, which report was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on or about March 30, 2000. This Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements regarding, among other things, the anticipated financial and operating results of the registrant. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. The PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION ------------------------------ Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Result of Operations. (Continued) registrant undertakes no obligation to publicly release any modifications or revisions of these statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the day hereof, or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. In connection with the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, the registrant cautions investors that future financial and operating results may differ materially from those projected in forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf of, the registrant. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, adverse changes in interest rates, inadequate allowance for loan loss, and loss of key personnel. These risks and uncertainties may cause the actual results or performance of the registrant to be materially different from any future results or performance expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. (a) Results of Operations Net income of the registrant was $3,171,321 in the first nine months of 2000. This amounted to an increase of $339,738, or 12.0 percent, compared to the first nine months of 1999. For the three-month period ended September 30, 2000, net income increased $208,928, or 21.6 percent, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 1999. Net income was higher for the first nine months of 2000 as compared to the same period last year due to an approximately $205,000 increase in non-interest income attributable to an increase in other service charges on deposit accounts. Also, a decrease of approximately $158,000 in non-interest expense, largely attributable to decreased other PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION ------------------------------ Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Result of Operations. (Continued) operating expenses, and a decrease in provision for credit losses of almost $270,000 led to the greater net income for the first nine months of 2000 as compared to the first nine months of 1999. However, these gains were partially offset by a $212,356 decrease in net interest income for the first nine months of 2000 as compared to the same period in 1999. The increase in the third quarter 2000 net income resulted from a $113,662 increase in non-interest income and a decrease of almost $207,000 in non-interest expense. However, these gains were partially offset by an approximately $187,000 decrease in net interest income in the third quarter 2000 from the third quarter 1999. Net interest income, the largest component of net income for the registrant, is the difference between income earned on loans and investments and interest paid on deposits and other sources of funds. Net interest income, exclusive of the provision for credit losses, of the registrant for the nine-month period ending September 30, 2000 decreased by $212,356, or 2.1 percent, as compared to the same period in 1999. The decline was mainly due to an increase in interest expense on time deposits that was partially offset by an increase in interest and fees on loans and interest on investment securities. For the three-month period ended September 30, 2000, net interest income decreased by $186,604, or 5.5% as compared to the three months ended September 30, 1999. Interest expense on time deposits increased approximately $668,000 for the three month period ended September 30, 2000. The increase in interest expense was partially offset by an increase in interest income of approximately $457,000 during three months ended September 30, 2000 as PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION ------------------------------ Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Result of Operations. (Continued) compared to the same period last year. Total other expenses decreased $158,498, or 2.3 percent, for the nine months ending September 30, 2000 as compared to same period last year. For the three months ended September 30, 2000, the decrease in other expenses over the same period last year was $206,938, or 9.6 percent. The decreases over both periods were largely due to less other operating expenses. Legal and collection expenses decreased approximately $425,000 for the nine months ending September 30, 2000 as compared to the same period last year and approximately $143,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2000 and as compared to the three months ending September 30, 1999. The provision for credit losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, decreased $269,541, or 53.2 percent, over the same period in 1999. For the three-month period ended September 30, 2000, the decrease in the provision was $119,702, or 67.5 percent compared to the same three months in 1999. Income before taxes increased by $420,430, or 9.1 percent, for the first nine months of 2000 as compared to the same period from the prior year. For the three month period, income before taxes increased $253,698, or 17.6 percent, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 1999. Applicable income taxes increased $80,692, or 5.8 percent for the nine month period ending September 30, 2000 and increased $44,770, or 9.4 percent for the three month period as compared to the same periods in 1999. PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION ------------------------------ Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Result of Operations. (Continued) On a per share basis, net income was $2.03 per share based on 1,555,937 shares for the first nine months of 2000 as compared to $1.80 per share on 1,576,399 shares for the first nine months of 1999. (b) Financial Condition The registrant's total assets increased 4.2 percent to $291,238,553 during the nine months ending September 30, 2000, from $279,483,812 at December 31, 1999. Loans and leases, net of allowance for credit losses, totaled $173,132,492 at September 30, 2000, a 0.7 percent increase compared to $171,895,733 at December 31, 1999. Investment securities increased $15,660,333, or 20.9 percent, to $90,617,561 at September 30, 2000, from $74,957,228 at year-end 1999. The unrealized loss on securities of $476,574 at September 30, 2000 was a result of the interest rate risk in the market. The registrant has taken steps to minimize the interest rate risk in the securities portfolio and the unrealized loss on securities has fallen from $914,700 at December 31, 1999 to its present level of $476,574 on September 30, 2000. Federal funds sold decreased $2,897,897 to $3,825,000 at September 30, 2000, from $6,722,897 at December 31, 1999. Total liabilities increased by 5.2% to $255,469,318 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000, compared to $242,811,816 at December 31, 1999. This increase was composed primarily of a $13,062,968 increase in interest bearing deposits (a 6.5 percent increase). Non-performing assets decreased 57.1 percent to $1,452,600 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 compared to $3,388,100 at December 31, 1999. PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION ------------------------------ Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Result of Operations. (Continued) Non-performing assets at December 31, 1999 included $99,200 in other real estate owned, $3,262,200 in non-accrual loans, and $26,700 in loans past due ninety days or more as to interest or principal payment. Additionally, there were no restructured loans at year-end. At September 30, 2000, the corresponding figures were $302,400 thousand in other real estate owned, $889,000 thousand in non-accrual loans, $261,200 in loans past due ninety days or more, and no loans restructured. The registrant has computed allowances for credit losses which management believes to be sufficient. The allowance for credit losses has decreased $82,000 since December 31, 1999. The total allowance for loan losses was $2,756,500 as of September 30, 2000 and is deemed sufficient by management to cover potential losses in the loan portfolio. (c) Liquidity Liquidity is the ability to fund increases in loan demand or to compensate for decreases in deposits and other sources of funds, or both. Maintenance of adequate liquidity is an essential component of the financial planning process. The objective of asset/liability management is to provide an optimum balance of liquidity and earnings. The registrant seeks to generate adequate cash flows to meet its needs without sacrificing income or taking undue risks. Cash and cash equivalents decreased $6,006,200 as of the end of the third quarter in 2000 primarily due to management's decision to shift federal funds into the registrant's investment portfolio. PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION ------------------------------ Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Result of Operations. (Continued) Marketable investment securities, particularly those of short maturities, are the principal source of asset liquidity. Securities maturing in one year or less amounted to $9,682,377 at September 30, 2000, representing 10.7 percent of the registrant's investment portfolio as compared to 16.1 percent one year earlier. These securities may be sold in response to changes in interest rates, changes in prepayment risk, the need to increase regulatory capital, or asset/liability strategy. Management classifies the entire investment portfolio in the available-for-sale category and reports these securities at fair value. Management does not anticipate the sale of a material amount of investment securities in the foreseeable future. Other sources of liquidity include maturing loans and federal funds sold. The registrant knows of no unusual demands, commitments, or events which could adversely impact the liquidity of the registrant. (d) Capital Adequacy The Federal Reserve Board, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the FDIC have established risk-based capital guidelines for U.S. banking organizations. These guidelines provide a uniform capital framework that is sensitive to differences in risk profiles among banks. Under these guidelines, total capital consists of Tier I capital (core capital, primarily stockholders' equity) and Tier II capital (supplementary capital, including certain qualifying debt instrument and credit loss reserve). Assets are assigned risk weights ranging from 0 to 100 percent depending on PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION ------------------------------ Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Result of Operations. (Continued) the level of credit risk normally associated with such assets. Off-balance sheet items (such as commitments to make loans) are also included in assets through the use of conversion factors established by regulators and are assigned risk weights in the same manner as on-balance sheet items. Banking institutions are expected to maintain a Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets ratio of at least 4.00 percent, a total capital (Tier I plus Tier II) to total risk-weighted assets ratio of at least 8.00 percent, and a Tier I capital to total assets ratio (leverage ratio) of at least 3.00 percent. The following table sets out the appropriate regulatory standards as well as the Company's actual ratios at September 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999. September 30, December 31, 2000 1999 ------------ ------------ (in thousands of dollars) Tier I Capital to Risk-Weighted Assets: Tier I capital 36,246 37,614 Risk-weighted assets 213,538 203,379 Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets 16.97% 18.49% Regulatory requirement 4.00% 4.00% Total Capital to Risk-Weighted Assets: Total capital (Tier I plus Tier II) 38,916 40,160 Risk-weighted assets 213,538 203,379 Total capital to risk-weighted assets 18.22% 19.75% Regulatory requirement 8.00% 8.00% Tier I Capital to Total Assets (Leverage Ratio) Tier I capital 36,246 37,614 Total assets 291,277 279,483 Tier I capital to total assets 12.44% 13.46% Regulatory requirement 3.00% 3.00% PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION ------------------------------ Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks. The registrant's primary component of market risk is interest rate volatility. Fluctuations in interest rates will ultimately impact both the level of income and expense recorded on a large portion of the registrant's assets and liabilities, and the market value of all interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, other than those which possess a short term to maturity. Based upon the nature of the registrant's operations, the registrant is not subject to foreign currency exchange or commodity price risk. Interest rate risk management focuses on the earnings risk associated with changing interest rates. Management seeks to maintain profitability in both immediate and long term earnings through funds management and interest rate risk management. The registrant's rate sensitive position has an important impact on earnings. Management of the registrant meets regularly to analyze the rate sensitivity position, focusing on the spread between the cost of funds and interest yields generated primarily through loans and investments. There have been no material changes in reported market risks during the nine months ended September 30, 2000. PART II - OTHER INFORMATION --------------------------- Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
