Note to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 1995
Note A -- Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles for interim financial information and with
the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include
all the information and footnotes required for complete financial
statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
considered necessary for a fair presentation, consisting of
normal recurring items have been included. Operating results for
the six month period ended June 30, 1995, are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ending December 31, 1995. The enclosed consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the
Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 1994.
Earnings per share are based on the weighted average number
of shares outstanding of 6,192 for the three and six months ended
June 30, 1995 and 1994.
-11-
Part I. Financial Information
Item II. Management's Discussion and Analysis
Consolidated net earnings for the quarter totaled $1.03
million, which is $.53 million less than was recorded for the
second quarter of 1994. This translates into $.17 per share for
the second quarter of 1995 versus $.25 per share in 1994. Year-to-date
consolidated earnings totaled $2.43 million versus $3.16
million in 1994 or $.39 and $.51 per share respectively. The
decrease in earnings can be attributed to the following items:
second quarter 1995 early retirement one time charge of $.82
million which is discussed in more detail below, and increases in
other expenses relating to costs associated with subsidiary bank
consolidation, expansion in Frederick and Hagerstown, Maryland
market areas, the implementation of an Automated Corporate Wide
Area Network, relocation of the Corporate Marketing Department,
and interest costs associated with a deposit campaign conducted
in early 1995.
In keeping with the Corporation's ongoing efforts to
maintain or increase profitability in an increasingly competitive
marketplace and to make the most productive use of employees, the
Corporation offered a voluntary early retirement plan to select
employees. There were eleven employees eligible to participate in
the plan, and all eleven eligible employees opted to participate
in the plan. As of June 30, 1995, ten employees had left
employment with the other person scheduled to leave in the third
quarter. The cost of the plan was covered by a special one-time
charge to earnings. To carry out this plan, the Board of
Directors authorized a one-time pre-tax charge of $0.81 million
against second quarter earnings. The charge is comprised largely
of additional pension expense of $0.43 million, severance pay and
one-time health insurance charges related to the eleven retirees.
While the charge is expected to lower 1995 pre-tax earnings
by approximately $.13 per share, management believes the overall
expense reduction resulting from this action will better position
the Corporation for profitable growth in the years ahead. As we
implement our restructuring plan, we will realize cost savings of
increasing magnitude. These savings will further improve our
profitability and enable us to implement our ambitious marketing
and new product programs more aggressively. We also expect that
they will help us sustain our strong dividend payment record.
While the above mentioned items negatively impacted net
earnings in 1995, it is anticipated that the results of this
restucturing will improve the Corporation's market share and,
enhance customer service and profitability in the future.
-12-
The efficiency ratio, which is a key measuring tool for
profitability and operating efficiency was -71.23% as of June 30,
1995 versus -60.69% at June 30, 1994. The one-time charge
associated with the voluntary early retirement plan is the
largest cause in the deterioration of the efficiency ratio. If
the ratio is calculated adjusting for the one-time charge, the
efficiency ratio would have been -65.06%. The other above
mentioned reasons for the decline in net income also impacted
negatively on the efficiency ratio.
Interest expense increased $1.81 million or 35.22% over the
first half of 1994. Throughout much of the first half of 1995 the
Corporation experienced rising deposit costs,and a slight
increase in the level of average interest bearing deposits.
The rising interest costs were the result of action by the
Federal Reserve Bank and also by competitive forces in all of the
Corporation's market areas. The Corporation also conducted a
deposit campaign which was successful in raising $16 million in
new deposits in the first quarter. The reason for the deposit
campaign was not only increase to our deposit base, but also to
reduce our external borrowing which totaled $11.4 million as of
December 31, 1994. The precise timing of gathering deposits is
critical in the management of the Corporation's liquidity and
interest margins. In managing the Corporation's liquidity and
interest margins, the Corporation utilizes a diverse line of
products at all of its subsidiaries.
Net interest income for the first half of 1995 increased
3.03% from the same period in 1994 to $11.11 million. Even
though interest expense has increased, the Asset/Liability
Committee (ALCO) has been able to achieve an interest margin of
5.23% versus 5.45% for the same period in 1994. The 5.23% net
interest margin is within the expectations of the Corporation, as
deposit costs have increased faster than asset yields during the
first half of 1995. This is the opposite of what occurred in
1994. The ALCO committee was also able to achieve a Return on
Average Assets (ROAA) of 1.05% versus 1.47% during the same
period in 1994. After adjusting for the one-time restructuring
charge of $.82 million in 1995, the ROAA would be 1.26%.
During the first half of 1995, the Corporation experienced
excellent loan growth. Total gross loans amounted to $349.78
million, which represents a growth of $21.41 million over June
30, 1994, and a growth of $14.05 million over December 31, 1994.
-13-
The Corporation also experienced strong deposit growth in
the first half of 1995. Deposits as of June 30, 1995 totaled
$409.68 million versus $382.70 million at June 30, 1994 and
$391.65 million at December 31, 1994. The growth in deposits was
experienced primarily in consumer Certificates of Deposit from
within our various market areas.
The Reserve for Possible Credit Losses amounted to $2.20
million at June 30, 1995, which amounts to 0.63% of total gross
loans. First United's loan review process continues to keep the
loan portfolio under close scrutiny. Net charge offs for the
first quarter totaled $.152 million. This represents 0.04% of our
gross loan total of $349.78 million. Because of the low level of
losses, the Corporation did not have a loan loss provision in the
first half of 1995. The Corporation also credits excellent
underwriting standards and training to the excellent credit
quality of the portfolio.
First United opened its newest supermarket community office
on March 8, 1995. This office is located in the new Martin's
Food Store on Dual Highway in Hagerstown. This is the third
supermarket office opened by the First United family of community
banks.
Myersville Bank's Riverside Center has made a great
contribution to the Corporation by assisting in growing its
deposits. To date, the Corporation is pleased with the growth of
the customer base within this office.
The Corporation, in an effort to control costs, closed its
Thayer Center office May 13, 1995 and transferred the customer
relationship to the Oakland Main Office which is located in close
proximity to the Thayer Center office.
The Corporation is also in the process of merging its
banking subsidiaries into one entity by planning to consolidate
First United National Bank and Trust and First United Bank of
West Virginia in the third quarter and Myersville Bank in the
fourth quarter of 1995. The Corporation is currently in the
process of applying to the various regulatory agencies for
approval of the transactions. As a result of the consolidation,
the Citizens office, located in Westernport, Maryland, will be
closed in the third quarter. The Corporation will transfer the
customer relationships to the Corporation's Piedmont office which
is located less than one-half mile away, thus gaining efficiency
of both staffing and facility expense while maintaining good
customer accessibility and service.
-14-
Another strong quality of First United is its capital
position. Shareholder equity increased to $53.58 million, a 6.35%
increase from the balance at June 30, 1994, which was $50.38
million. Because of the Corporation's strong and consistent
earnings, the capital of the Corporation continues to grow. Risk
based capital, which is an expression of your Corporation's
stability and security, was a hardy 16.25% versus 16.75% on June
30, 1994, far surpassing the regulatory minimum of 8%.
The Corporation paid a $.12 per share dividend on February
1, 1995 and May 1, 1995. The Board of Directors also declared a
$.12 per share dividend on July 5, 1995 payable August 1, 1995 to
shareholders of record on July 24, 1995.
