COLONIAL TRUST COMPANY Notes to Condensed Financial Statements Significant Accounting Policies In the opinion of Colonial Trust Company (the "Company"), the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position, the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The accompanying statements do not include all disclosures considered necessary for a fair presentation in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Therefore, it is recommended that these accompanying statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements appearing in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended March 31, 1998. Nature of Business The Company was incorporated on August 15, 1989, in the State of Arizona for the purpose of engaging in the business of acting as a fiduciary. The Company is domiciled in the State of Arizona and is regulated by the Arizona State Banking Department. Its Common Stock is registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company serves as trustee under various bond indentures for issuers of bonds in 39 states. The issuers are primarily churches and other non-profit organizations. As trustee, the Company receives, holds, invests and disburses the bond proceeds as directed by the applicable trust indenture and receives weekly or monthly sinking fund payments from the issuer of bonds, and, as paying agent, pays the semi-annual principal and interest payments to the bondholders. The Company also serves as trustee of self-directed individual retirement accounts for certain bondholders or employees of religious organizations. On November 1, 1995, the Company purchased all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Camelback Trust Company ("Camelback"). Effective on August 1, 1996, Camelback was merged with and into the Company, the Company continued as the surviving corporation, and the separate existence of Camelback terminated effective as of such date. Camelback now operates as the Company's "Personal Trust Division." The Personal Trust division provides investment management, administration and custodial services for customers with various securities held in trust or in investment agency accounts. COLONIAL TRUST COMPANY Notes to Condensed Financial Statements (b) Revenue Recognition The Company is compensated for its services as trustee and paying agent in one of three ways. The first fee structure allows the Company to invest trust funds held for disbursement and retain the gains and earnings therefrom. The second fee structure requires the issuing institution to pay a percentage of the bond proceeds to the Company for set-up and bond printing costs during the first year. Additionally, an annual maintenance fee is required each year. ]The third fee structure entitles the Company to interest earnings up to 2.5% of daily trust funds held in bond program fund accounts in lieu of a set-up fee. Annual maintenance fees and bond printing costs are charged as a percentage of the related bond issue. The Company's policy is to allow the non-profit issuer to choose between the three fee structures. The Company believes that the third fee structure is currently utilized by a majority of the Company's competitors. The Company also receives fees for services provided as custodian for self-directed individual retirement accounts. For its services as trustee, the Company receives an annual base fee of $40 and a transaction fee of $5 per transaction for each transaction in excess of 12 per year. The Company also retains, as a portion of its fee, earnings of 2% on the daily uninvested balance in each IRA account. The Company's Personal Trust Division generates revenues based on two fee structures. The first structure represents a percentage of the fiduciary assets, which are held as trustee or agent. Fees are assessed on a quarterly basis to individual accounts according to the fair market value of the supporting fiduciary assets in such account at the end of each quarter. Under the second fee structure, the Company charges an annual fee which is set up to cover the maintenance of fiduciary assets which the Company holds in both trust and self-directed IRA accounts. (c) Computation of Basic and Diluted Net Earnings Per Common Share Basic earnings per share is computed based on weighted average shares outstanding and excludes any potential dilution from stock options, warrants and other common stock equivalents. Diluted EPS reflects potential dilution from the exercise or conversion of securities into common stock or from other contracts to issue common stock. COLONIAL TRUST COMPANY Notes to Condensed Financial Statements (d) Reclassifications Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year balances to conform to the current year presentation. Note Receivable On December 1, 1990, the Company entered into a Master Note and Letter Agreement with Church Loans and Investment Trust, Inc., its former parent corporation. The Master Note, in the maximum amount of $1,000,000, is due on demand, bears interest payable monthly at 1% less than the prime rate and is unsecured. Amounts advanced from time to time may be prepaid and reborrowed. Lease Commitments The Company was party to an office lease for commercial office space formerly occupied by Camelback as its executive office. This office lease terminated on February 14, 1998. During the nine-month period ended December 31, 1998, the Company no longer leased office space. COLONIAL TRUST COMPANY Notes to Condensed Financial Statements Earnings Per Share A reconciliation from basic earnings per share to diluted earnings per share for the periods ended December 31, 1998, and December 31, 1997, follows: Three-month period Nine-month period ended December 31, ended December 31, 1998 1997 1998 1997 Net earnings $118,734 $52,305 $306,29 $155,233 Basic EPS weighted average shares outstanding 764,503 776,681 766,388 777,386 Basic EPS $.16 $.07 $.40 $.20 Basic EPS weighted average shares outstanding 764,503 776,681 766,388 777,386 Effect of Dilutive securities: stock options 13,544 13,642 13,606 13,642 Diluted EPS weighted average shares outstanding 778,047 790,323 779,994 791,028 Diluted EPS $.15 $.07 $.39 $.20 On September 24, 1998, the Company's shareholders approved a one-for-ten reverse common stock split. Weighted average shares outstanding and basic and diluted earnings per share for all periods presented have been adjusted to reflect this reverse common stock split. COLONIAL TRUST COMPANY Notes to Condensed Financial Statements Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation Results of Operations Three-month Periods Ended December 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997 The Company reported an increase in net earnings for the three-month period ended December 31, 1998, compared to the comparable prior period. The Company had net earnings of $118,734, or $.15 per share, for the three-month period ended December 31, 1998, compared to net earnings of $52,305, or $.07 per share, for the three-month period ended December 31, 1997, an increase of 127%. The Company had total revenue of $800,077 for the three-month period ended December 31, 1998, compared to total revenue of $566,777 for the three-month period ended December 31, 1997, an increase of 41%. The Company's bond servicing income increased to $526,431 for the three-month period ended December 31, 1998, compared to $394,331 for the three-month period ended December 31, 1997, an increase of 33%. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the number of bond issues for which the Company serves as Trustee and Paying Agent. As of December 31, 1998, the Company was serving as trustee for the benefit of bondholders on 434 bond offerings totaling approximately $365,736,000 in original principal amount; as of December 31, 1997, the Company was serving as trustee for the benefit of bondholders on 400 bond offerings totaling approximately $313,200,000 in original principal amount. The increase in new bond offerings is due to the new business development efforts of the Company. Income from IRA Accounts increased to $152,778 for the three-month period ended December 31, 1998, compared to $88,617 for the three-month period ended December 31, 1997, an increase of 72%. The increase was due primarily to an increase in the number of IRA Accounts serviced by the Company. IRA Accounts are serviced by both the Corporate Trust Division and the Personal Trust Division of the Company. As of December 31, 1998, the Company served as trustee for approximately 7,950 self-directed Individual Retirement Accounts with total assets of approximately $153,658,000; as of December 31, 1997, the Company served as trustees for approximately 6,300 self-directed Individual Retirement Accounts with total assets of approximately $138,000,000. Trust fee income increased to $107,544 for the three-month period ended December 31, 1998, compared to $73,427 for the three-month period ended December 31, 1997, an increase of 46%. The increase was due to an increase in the number of accounts for which the Company serves as trustee or agent. Interest income increased to $13,324 for the three-month period ended December 31, 1998, compared to $10,402 for the three-month period ended December 31, 1997, an increase of 28%. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the note receivable balance due to reinvestment of earned income. The Company's general and administrative expenses increased to $599,796 for the three-month period ended December 31, 1998, compared to $477,580 for the three-month period ended December 31, 1997, an increase of 26%. The increase was due primarily to the addition of several staff members, as well as other additional expenses involved in administering the Company's growing bond servicing, IRA and personal trust business. The Company's general and administrative expenses decreased as a percentage of the Company's total revenues to 75% for the three-month period December 31, 1998, compared to 84% for the comparable prior period. The foregoing decrease reflects the Company's ability to spread its general and administrative expenses over an expanding revenue base. The Company's effective income tax rate was 40.7% for the three-month period ended December 31, 1998, and 41.4% for the three-month period ended December 31, 1997. Results of Operations Nine-month Periods Ended December 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997 The Company reported an increase in net earnings for the nine-month period ended December 31, 1998, compared to the comparable prior period. The Company had net earnings of $306,291, or $.39 per share, for the nine-month period ended December 31, 1998, compared to net earnings of $155,233, or $.20 per share, for the nine-month period ended December 31, 1997, an increase of 97%. The Company had total revenue of $2,227,314 for the nine-month period ended December 31, 1998, compared to total revenue of $1,732,207 for the nine-month period ended December 31, 1997, an increase of 29%. The Company's bond servicing income increased to $1,464,810 for the nine-month period ended December 31, 1998, compared to $1,178,853 for the nine-month period ended December 31, 1997, an increase of 24%. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the number of bond issues for which the Company serves as Trustee and Paying Agent and, to a lesser extent, a one-time collection of approximately $45,000 in outstanding fees related to a settlement of a bankruptcy estate. Income from IRA Accounts increased to $402,025 for the nine-month period ended December 31, 1998, compared to $317,209 for the nine-month period ended December 31, 1997, an increase of 27%. The increase was due primarily to an increase in the number of IRA Accounts serviced by the Company. Trust fee income increased to $323,720 for the nine-month period ended December 31, 1998, compared to $206,670 for the nine-month period ended December 31, 1997, an increase of 57%. The increase was due to an increase in the number of accounts for which the Company serves as trustee or agent. Interest income increased to $36,759 for the nine-month period ended December 31, 1998, compared to $29,475 for the nine-month period ended December 31, 1997, an increase of 25%. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in the note receivable balance due to reinvestment of earned income. The Company's general and administrative expenses increased to $1,711,283 for the nine-month period ended December 31, 1998, compared to $1,470,005 for the nine-month period ended December 31, 1997, an increase of 16%. The increase was due primarily to the addition of several staff members, as well as other additional expenses involved in administering the Company's growing bond servicing, IRA and personal trust business. For the nine-month period ended December 31, 1997, the Company incurred an expense of approximately $54,500 in connection with the termination in June 1997 of its proposed private placement of Common Stock. Such expenses were for legal, accounting, and investment banking fees incurred (and previously accrued by the Company) in connection with such private placement. The Company sold no securities in the private placement. The Company's general and administrative expenses decreased as a percentage of the Company's total revenues to 77% for the nine-month period ended December 31, 1998, compared to 85% for the comparable prior period. The foregoing decreases reflect the Company's ability to spread its general and administrative expenses over an expanding revenue base. The Company's effective income tax rate was 40.6% for the nine-month period ended December 31, 1998, and 40.8% for the nine-month period ended December 31, 1997. Year 2000 The Company recognizes the potential business impacts related to the Year 2000 computer system issue and is implementing a plan to assess and improve the Company's state of readiness with respect to such issues. The Year 2000 issue is one where computer systems may recognize the designation "00" as 1900 when it means 2000, resulting in system failure or miscalculations. Commencing in 1997, the Company initiated a comprehensive review of its core information technology systems, which the Company is dependent upon for the conduct of day to day business operations, in order to determine the adequacy of those systems in light of future business requirements. Year 2000 readiness was one of a variety of factors to be considered in the review of core systems. In recognition of the Year 2000 issue, in September 1997, the Company began a comprehensive review of all information technology and non-information technology systems used by the Company, computer hardware and software products supplied to broker-dealers by the Company, and computer hardware and software products and components and other equipment supplied to the Company by third parties. Such review includes testing and analysis of Company systems and inquiries of third parties supplying information technology and non-information technology systems, computer hardware and software products and components, and other equipment to the Company. The Company has divided its Year 2000 review into two phases. The first addresses the Company's core information technology systems. The second phase addresses non-core information technology systems, non-information technology systems, and products, components and equipment supplied to the Company from third parties. In addition, the Company will implement required Year 2000 upgrades and replacements during the second phase. The Company substantially completed the first phase of its review in June 1998. The Company anticipates completing the second phase by March 1999. In the first phase of its Year 2000 review, the Company tested all software products currently provided to broker-dealers, and determined that such products were Year 2000 compliant. The Company also made inquiries of all third parties supplying the Company with computer hardware and software products and received assurances that such products and components are Year 2000 compliant. With respect to core information technology, the Company made inquiries of third parties supplying computer hardware and software operating systems to the Company, and received assurances that such hardware and software systems were Year 2000 compliant. The Company has not developed a "worst case" scenario with respect to Year 2000 issues, but instead has focused its resources on identifying material, remediable problems and reducing uncertainties generally, through the Year 2000 review described above. At this time, the Company has not developed Year 2000 contingency plans, other than the review and remedial actions described above, and does not intend to do so unless the Company believes such plans are merited by the results of its continuing Year 2000 review. The Company maintains and deploys contingency plans designed to address various other potential business interruptions. These plans may be applicable to address the interruption of support provided by third parties resulting from their failure to be Year 2000 ready. If the Company or the third parties with which it has relationships were to cease or not successfully complete its or their Year 2000 remediation efforts, the Company would encounter disruptions to its business that could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial position and results of operations. The Company could be materially and adversely impacted by widespread economic or financial market disruption or by Year 2000 computer system failures at third parties with which it has relationships. The Company does not believe expenditures to be Year 2000 compliant will be material, and is expensing all costs associated with the Year 2000 remediation plan. However, there can be no assurance that the ultimate cost to identify and implement solutions to all Year 2000 problems will not be material to the Company. Liquidity and Capital Resources Under legislation effective on July 20, 1996, the Company is required to maintain net capital of at least $500,000; the Company's net capital was $2,047,373 on December 31, 1998. The legislation also requires that the Company's net capital meet certain liquidity requirements. Specifically, $166,666, $333,332 and $500,000 of such net capital must meet the Department's liquidity requirements by December 31, 1997, December 31, 1998, and December 31, 1999, respectively. At December 31, 1998, $333,545 of the Company's net capital met the Department's liquidity requirements. The Company believes that it will be able to satisfy the foregoing liquidity requirements from cash on hand and other assets of the Company. Net cash provided by operating activities was $361,286 for the nine-month period ended December 31, 1998. The Company also believes that it will be able to satisfy its working capital and capital expenditure requirements for the foreseeable future from existing cash balances, from anticipated cash flow from operating activities, and from funds available under the Company's Master Note with its former parent, Church Loans and Investments Trust. The Company's cash and cash equivalents increased from $28,475 on March 31, 1998, to $82,133 on December 31, 1998, while the note receivable increased from $389,489 on March 31, 1998, to $412,095 on December 31, 1998. The increase in cash and cash equivalents was primarily due to the results of operations. The increase in the note receivable was due to the reinvestment of interest earned on the note receivable. The Company's net property and equipment ncreased from $712,482 on March 31, 1998, to $758,599 on December 31, 1998. The increase was primarily due to the purchase of additional furniture, equipment and computer software for new employees. The Company believes that capital expenditure requirements for the foreseeable future will be covered by excess cash low from operations.
