NOTE 5 - Treasury Stock
Pursuant to the stock repurchase program approved by the
Board of Directors in the first quarter of 1997, the Corporation
acquired 13,483 common shares as of March 31, 1997 at a cost of
approximately $432,000. Under the program, the Corporation is
authorized to repurchase up to 100,000 shares in open market
transactions through dealers.
NOTE 6 - Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) issued Statement No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" effective
for fiscal years ending on or after December 15, 1997. This
Statement establishes new standards for computing and presenting
earnings per share (EPS) and makes earnings per share comparable
to international standards. The Statement prohibits early
application and requires restatement of all prior-period EPS data
presented after its effective date. The EPS as currently
reported is the same as the Basic EPS required by the Statement.
The newly required Diluted EPS is not expected to be materially
different than the Basic EPS.
Also, in March 1997, the FASB issued statement No. 129,
"Disclosures of Information about Capital Structure." This
Statement did not change the currently reported disclosures.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Results of Operations and Financial Condition
for the Three Months Periods
Ended March 31, 1997
Part 1, Item 2
Results of Operations
The Corporation reported earnings of $1,135,000 for the
first quarter ended March 31, 1997, versus $1,050,000 for the
same quarter in 1996, reflecting an increase of 8.1%. Per share
earnings for the quarter increased 12.7% to $.62 from $.55 for
the same period in 1996. Per share earnings are weighted to
reflect the impact of the stock repurchase program. Book value
per share equaled $18.95 at March 31, 1997 compared to $17.88 at
March 31, 1996, reflecting a 6.0% increase.
The Corporation's annualized return on average assets (ROA)
and return on average equity (ROE) for the first quarter of 1997
were 1.37% and 12.98%, respectively, compared to 1.35% and
12.33%, respectively, for the first quarter of 1996.
Net interest income improved $198,000, or 5.9%, to $3.5
million for the quarter ended March 31, 1997, from $3.3 million
for the same period a year earlier. Although the growth in
interest-bearing liabilities outpaced the growth in interest-earning
assets during the first quarter of 1997 versus the first
quarter of 1996, a 14 basis point decrease in the Corporation's
cost of funds during the first quarter of 1997 versus the first
quarter of 1996 more than offset the slower growth of interest-earning
assets. The yield on interest-earning assets held steady
at 8.34% for the comparable periods while the cost of funds
dipped to 4.41% for the first quarter of 1997 versus 4.55% for
the same period in 1996. The Corporation's net interest margin
on a tax-equivalent basis was 4.67% at March 31, 1997, versus
4.62% one year earlier.
The Corporation expensed $193,000 for possible loan losses
in the first quarter of 1997 compared to $94,000 in the first
quarter of 1996. The higher provision was necessary to cover
consumer loan charge-offs and to maintain the allowance for
possible loan losses at adequate levels. The ratio of allowance
for loan loss as a percent of loans held steady at 1.32% at March
31, 1997, versus 1.38% at March 31, 1996.
Total noninterest income excluding net securities gains
recorded an increase of $49,000, or 5.9% to $883,000 for the
quarter ended March 31, 1997 compared to $834,000 one year
earlier. The $40,000 increase in trust commissions was due
primarily to a 20.0% growth in trust assets under management and
the $58,000 increase in service charges, commissions and fees
income was due primarily to loan fees, corporate deposit account
fees and fees from the Corporation's Freedom Card (debit card/ATM
card). Partially offsetting these increases was a decrease in
the other noninterest income totaling $49,000. Nonrecurring
income such as rebates and reimbursement of loan collection costs
from prior years was primarily responsible for the decrease in
other income.
As a result of management's ongoing review of its available
for sale investment portfolio, net securities gains for the first
quarter of 1997 amounted to $111,000 compared to $78,000 for the
same quarter in 1996. The net gains recorded were produced
primarily from the equities securities portfolio.
Total noninterest expense increased $70,000, or 2.6%, for
the quarter ended March 31, 1997, to $2,795,000 versus $2,725,000
at March 31, 1996. Salaries and benefits expense recorded a
decrease of $96,000. Salaries were up approximately $8,000 over
the first quarter of 1996 reaching $1.2 million; while benefits
were down approximately $104,000. The small increase in salaries
was related to the retirement of an executive officer in June
1996 offset by staff added for the three Cumberland County
offices opened in the fourth quarter of 1996. Benefits expense
decreased primarily due to lower costs related to the long-term
incentive plan. Net occupancy and furniture and equipment
expense were up due largely to operating costs associated with
the three new branches. Other noninterest expense recorded an
increase of $111,000 to $853,000 for the first quarter of 1997
versus the first quarter of 1996. Amortization of a customer
list related to the new branches and timing of supplies purchased
were the primary contributors to increased other expense.
Federal income tax expense for the first quarter ended March
31, 1997, totaled $401,000 compared to $375,000 a year earlier.
The Corporation's effective tax rate for the quarter was 26.1%
compared to 26.3% for the same period one year earlier. The
effective tax rates are lower than the statutory tax rate of
34.0% due primarily to interest income earned on tax-free
investments.
Financial Condition
Total assets grew $2.6 million to $338.7 million at March
31, 1997, from $336.1 million at December 31, 1996. Earning-assets
growth from year-end reported an increase of $1.2 million
to $312.4 million at March 31, 1997, and represented 92.2% of
total assets. Investment securities held-to-maturity decreased
$2.4 million to $33.8 million at quarter-end compared to $36.2
million at December 31, 1996, due to calls and maturities. The
estimated market value of investment securities available-for-sale
decreased $1.1 million to $52.4 million at March 31, 1997,
from $53.5 million at December 31, 1996. Available-for-sale
equity securities sold during the first quarter of 1997 produced
gains of $102,000 and available-for-sale bonds and tax-free
municipal securities sold produced net gains of $9,000. Net
loans grew $4.8 million to $226.0 million at March 31, 1997, from
$221.1 million at year-end 1996. Commercial loans reported the
largest growth with an increase of $2.3 million; consumer loans
followed with an increase of $1.5 million. Mortgage volumes were
up $1.0 million from year-end 1996 despite the sale of
approximately $2.0 million to the secondary market during the
first quarter. The Corporation continues its aggressive
commercial loan pricing strategy without sacrificing loan quality
and is committed to improving its market share for mortgage
business through improved customer service and technology. The
banking industry is currently experiencing an increase in
consumer delinquencies and personal bankruptcies and the
Corporation is no exception. To improve consumer underwriting
practices the Corporation is requiring intense training of all
consumer lending personnel. The expected results are adherence
to better defined standards and improved consumer loan quality in
the future.
The allowance for possible loan losses registered $3.0
million at March 31, 1997, compared to $3.1 million at December
31, 1996. The allowance represented 1.32% of total loans at
March 31, 1997 and provided coverage for total nonaccrual loans
2.7 times and total nonperforming loans 1.7 times. At December
31, 1996, the allowance represented 1.36% of total loans.
Nonperforming loans increased $32,000 to $1.76 million at
March 31, 1997 versus $1.73 million at December 31, 1996.
Nonperforming loans at March 31, 1996 equaled $1.59 million.
Included in nonperforming loans at March 31, 1997, were
nonaccrual loans ($1.10 million) and loans past due 90 days or
more ($.66 million). The Corporation recorded other real estate
owned totaling $54,000 at March 31, 1997, versus $99,000 at year-end
1996. Nonperforming assets represented .54% of total assets
at March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996.
The Corporation recorded net charge-offs for the three
months ended March 31, 1997 totaling $232,500 compared to
$297,000 for the same period one year earlier. The loans
charged-off are almost entirely from the consumer loan portfolio.
The annualized ratio of net charge-offs to average loans was .43%
at March 31, 1997 compared to .32% and .56% at December 31, 1996
and March 31, 1996, respectively.
Total deposits held steady at $268.0 million for March 31,
1997 and December 31, 1996. Securities sold under agreements to
repurchase (repos) decreased $4.5 million to $10.6 million at
March 31, 1997 from $15.1 million at December 31, 1996.
Offsetting the decrease in repos and funding the modest increase
in assets required an increase in other borrowings totaling $7.5
million to $22.4 million at March 31, 1997 from $14.9 million at
December 31, 1996. Other borrowings represent term loans and
overnight loans (repos) from the Federal Home Loan Bank of
Pittsburgh.
The local economy remains stable with low unemployment.
Despite the loss of some government jobs as a result of the 1995
BRAC recommendations and the closing of some private businesses,
new jobs created have offset any potential adverse impact on the
local economy. The local economy continues to be fairly well
diversified.
Liquidity
The Corporation's liquidity position (net cash, short-term
and marketable assets divided by net deposits and short-term
liabilities) was 21.6% at March 31, 1997. The Corporation
actively sells mortgage loans to the secondary market (primarily
FNMA) and looks to its borrowing ability with FHLB to satisfy any
liquidity needs. The Corporation sold $2.0 million mortgage
loans to FNMA during the first quarter of 1997 and had advances
outstanding with FHLB totaling $22,416,000. The Corporation's
maximum borrowing capacity with FHLB equals $96,182,000.
Management believes that liquidity is adequate to meet the
borrowing and deposit withdrawal needs of its customers.
Capital Adequacy
Total shareholders' equity increased $34,000 to $35.37
million at March 31, 1997, from $35.34 million at December 31,
1996. Retained earnings increased $758,000 but was more than
offset by a decrease of $341,000 in net unrealized gain on
securities and $432,000 utilized to repurchase 13,483 shares of
the Corporation's common stock.
Cash dividends paid in the first quarter of 1997 totaled
$377,000, or $.20 per share compared to $374,000 or $.19 per
share for the first quarter of 1996.
Capital adequacy is currently defined by banking regulatory
agencies through the use of several minimum required ratios. At
March 31, 1997 the Corporation was determined to be well
capitalized as defined by the banking regulatory agencies. The
Corporation's leverage ratio, Tier I and Tier II risk-based
capital ratios at March 31, 1997, were 10.80%, 16.49% and 17.74%,
respectively.
