MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTH PERIODS
ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1995
Part 1, Item 2
Results of Operations
Consolidated net income for the third quarter and nine
months ended September 30, 1995 was $1,026,000 and
$3,169,000, respectively, compared to $1,004,000 and
$2,759,000, respectively, for the comparable periods in 1994.
These results represent increases in net income for the
quarter and nine months of 2.1% and 14.9%, respectively.
Consolidated earnings per share equaled $.81 and $2.47 for
the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1995,
versus $.77 and $2.11, respectively for the same periods in
1994. Book value per share equaled $26.25 at September 30,
1995, up from $24.00 a year earlier. Per share information
for September 1994 has been restated to reflect a 10% stock
dividend paid on December 30, 1994 to shareholders of
record on December 9, 1994.
The Corporation's annualized return on average
assets (ROA) and return on average equity (ROE) for the
first nine months of 1995 was 1.35% and 12.69%, respectively,
an improvement over 1.19% and 11.67%, respectively, for the
first nine months of 1994.
Net interest income for the third quarter of 1995
showed marked improvement increasing $536,000, or 17.5%, to
$3,603,000 from $3,067,000 at September 30, 1994. Net
interest income for the nine months ended September 30,
1995 reflected the same improvement reaching $10,411,000,
an increase of $1,368,000 or 15.1% over $9,043,000 a year
earlier. A consistent overall loan demand coupled with
higher loan yields and better managed deposit rates
continued to be the driver behind the improved net interest
income. Overall the increase in earning asset yields
outpaced the increase in rate related liability costs. The
Corporation's net interest margin on a tax-equivalent basis
reached 4.85% at September 30, 1995 compared to 4.38% a
year earlier. Net interest spread for the same periods was
4.06% and 3.77%, respectively.
The Corporation expensed $90,000 and $212,000 for
possible loan losses in the third quarter and nine months of
1995, respectively versus $2,000 and $47,000, for the same
periods in 1994. An increase in the ratio of net charge-offs
to average loans for the first nine months of 1995 to .19%
from .10% a year earlier was the primary factor driving the
increase in loan loss provision expense. Other factors
included the recent announcement that Franklin County jobs
would be lost due to closure and realignment of a local Army
depot and base. In June 1995, there was an announcement
by the independent Defense Base Realignment and Closure
Commission, which received subsequent approval from
President Clinton, to realign Letterkenny Army Depot in the
Chambersburg (Franklin County) area (2,000 - 2,500 jobs
lost) and to close Fort Ritchie in Maryland (approximately
1,000 Franklin County jobs lost out of a total of 2,500).
Letterkenny is one of the areas largest employers. In
addition, another recent announcement by the management
of J. Schoeneman Co., a mens clothing manufacturer, that
they would close in early 1996 will result in the loss of
another 800 to 1,000 jobs, primarily Franklin County
residents. Although the impact of the loss of jobs on the
local economy and the Corporation is uncertain, the expected
result is that consumer delinquencies and possibly consumer
charge-offs could increase. At September 30, 1995, the level
of nonperforming assets continued to show improvement reflected
in the ratio of nonperforming assets reaching .73% compared
to .96% at September 30, 1994. The allowance for possible
loan loss as a percentage of loans remained stable at 1.54% as of
September 30, 1995, compared to 1.58% a year earlier. The coverage the
allowance for possible loan loss provides for nonaccrual loans
and nonperforming loans is adequate at 3.8 times and
1.5 times, respectively.
Total other income excluding net securities gains
realized an $85,000, or 10.2% decrease for the third quarter
of 1995 to $751,000, driven primarily by lower secondary
market sales. For the nine months period ended September
30, 1995 and 1994 total other income remained stable at
$2,553,000 versus $2,549,000, respectively. An increase in
trust commissions of $131,000 for the nine months in 1995 was
more than offset by the $147,000 decrease in other income.
Trust commissions were up due to business growth. Other
income was down due to a realized gain ($116,000) from the
sale of real estate in 1994 and a decrease in gains from the
sale of loans to the secondary market in 1995.
Total other expense increased $214,000, or 7.8%, to
$2,942,000 for the third quarter of 1995 compared to the same
quarter in 1994. Salaries and benefits were up $87,000, or
6.0%, to $1,543,000 for the third quarter of 1995 compared to
the third quarter of 1994. Salaries grew $59,000 due to merit
increases and added personnel while benefit expense grew
$28,000. Net occupancy expense increased 25.0% to $141,000
for the third quarter of 1995 versus the same quarter in
1994. Costs associated with building repairs and
maintenance and a decrease in rental income were primarily
responsible for the $28,000 increase in net occupancy
expense for the quarter. As a result of reduced premiums on
FDIC insurance effective in May 1995, the Corporation
received a premium refund in the third quarter totaling
$132,000; however, a $152,000 reserve was established in the
third quarter of 1995 in anticipation of a future FDIC special
assessment expense related to the Savings Association
Insurance Fund (SAIF) and OAKKAR deposits. The
Corporation acquired $26 million in OAKKAR deposits in 1992
with a branch purchase from a thrift institution. The special
assessment payment date is expected to be January 1, 1996.
Other expense for the quarter was up $84,000, or 10.1%,
primarily due to overall higher costs such as postage,
travel, and telephone. Total other expense for the nine
months ended September 30, 1995, grew moderately by
$291,000, or 3.5% to $8,573,000 versus $8,282,000 a year
earlier.
Federal income tax expense totaled $296,000 for the
third quarter and $1,010,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1995 compared to $229,000 and $680,000,
respectively, for the same periods in 1994. The
Corporation's effective tax rates for the nine month periods
ended September 30, 1995, and 1994 were 24% and 20%. The
increase in the effective tax rate was largely due to lower tax
free income relative to pretax income.
Financial Condition
Total assets grew to $318,819,000, or 2.7%, at
September 30, 1995 from $310,554,000 at December 31, 1994.
Total assets at September 30, 1994 were $307,165,000.
Interest bearing deposits in other banks grew to $16,805,000
from $381,000 at December 31, 1994. A significant portion of
the balance ($16.6 million) was invested in overnight funds
with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh. Investment
securities decreased $7.7 million to $50,787,000 while
securities available for sale increased $6.3 million to
$20,400,000. Loans, net of unearned discount decreased 3.1%
to $215,754,000 at September 30, 1995 from year-end 1994.
Commercial loan volume was up approximately $4.4 million
since year-end while mortgage and other consumer loan
volume was down approximately $11.4 million. Consumer loan
demand from December 31, 1994, continues to be soft due to
uncertainty in the local area economy relative to job losses.
Mortgage loans sold on the secondary market to FNMA for
the nine month period this year totaled $2.3 million compared
to $7.3 million for the same period last year.
Total deposits continue to show slow but steady
growth to $262,169,000 at September 30, 1995, from
$256,697,000 at December 31, 1995. Effective marketing
programs for deposit products, primarily certificates of
deposits, customer displeasure with a local bank merger and
higher deposit rates are primarily responsible for the inflow
of deposit funds. Securities sold under agreements to
repurchase (Repo) realized significant growth to $13,975,000
at September 30, 1995, from $9,612,000 at year-end 1994.
Other borrowings have decreased $2.4 million to $6,501,000 at
September 30, 1995 from December 31, 1994.
Average earning assets represented 96.0%, or $298
million of total assets and yielded 8.3% for the nine months
ended September 30, 1995. The allowance for possible loan
loss declined 3.0% to $3,319,000 at September 30, 1995 from
$3,425,000 at December 31, 1994 and represented 1.54% and
1.65%, respectively, of net loans. The Corporation's loan-to-
deposit ratio was 82.3% at September 30, 1995, versus 86.8%
at December 31, 1994.
The Corporation's nonperforming loans have
decreased to $2,191,000 at September 30, 1995 from $2,243,000
at December 31, 1994. Nonperforming loans one year ago
equaled $2,941,000. Nonaccrual loans totaled $874,000 at
September 30, 1995, versus $1.0 million at December 31, 1994,
and September 30, 1994. Loans past due 90 days or more and still
accruing totaled $888,000 at third quarter end 1995
compared to $.6 million and $1.2 million at December 31, 1994,
and September 30, 1994, respectively. Restructured loans
equaled $429,000 at September 30, 1995. At September 30, 1995, OREO was
$123,000 compared to $0 at year-end 1994. Nonperforming
assets represented .73% of total assets at September 30, 1995,
compared to .72% and .96% at December 31, 1994 and
September 30, 1994, respectively. Net charge-offs to
average loans were .19% at September 30, 1995, up from .10%
at December 31, 1994, and September 30, 1994.
Liquidity
The Corporation's liquidity position remained strong
at third quarter-end 1995. The Corporation continues to sell
mortgage loans to the secondary market (FNMA) and looks to
its borrowing ability with the Federal Home Loan Bank of
Pittsburgh to satisfy any liquidity needs. The Corporation
has an overnight (Flexline) borrowing line of approximately
$28,000,000 and the availability of borrowing up to
$43,000,000 on a term basis. At September 30, 1995, the
Corporation had no overnight borrowings and had term
borrowings of $6,501,000. Currently management believes
that liquidity is adequate to meet the borrowing and deposit
withdrawal needs of its customers.
Capital Adequacy
Total shareholders' equity increased $1,043,000, or
3.2%, to $33,916,000 at September 30, 1995, from $32,873,000 at
December 31, 1994. Earnings retention, the primary source
of shareholder equity growth, has been off set through the
repurchase of Franklin Financial common stock (treasury
shares) and cash dividends paid to shareholders. At
September 30, 1995, the cost of treasury shares equaled
$2,173,000. (See Note 4 for more information on treasury
stock.) For the third quarter and nine months ended
September 30, 1995, the Corporation paid cash dividends to
shareholders totaling $363,000 and $1,050,000, respectively,
compared to $306,000 and $894,000, respectively, for the
same periods in 1994. Dividends paid per share were $.28
and $.80, respectively, for the quarter and nine months
ended September 30, 1995. The cash dividend paid to
shareholders represents 33.0% of nine months earnings.
Capital adequacy is currently defined by banking
regulatory authorities through the use of several minimum
required ratios. The following table presents capital ratios
for the Corporation and its banking subsidiary at September
30, 1995, as well as current minimum regulatory capital
requirements (unaudited). As the following table indicates,
the Corporation exceeds all minimum capital requirements.
