ALBION BANC CORP.
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
SEPTEMBER 30, 1997
Financial Condition
Total assets of Albion Banc Corp. were $70.8 million as of September 30, 1997,
an increase of $6.2 million or 9.6% over total assets as of December 31,
1996. Deposits, the Company's primary source of funds, increased $6.4
million or 13.1% to $54.9 million at September 30, 1997. Borrowings from the
Federal Home Loan Bank of New York were $9.0 million at September 30,1997,
unchanged from the $9.0 million at December 31, 1996.
Investment securities available for sale, primarily mortgage-backed securities,
decreased from $3.9 million at December 31, 1996 to $3.3 million at September
30, 1997. This decrease can be attributed to normal principal paydowns of
mortgage-backed securities. Proceeds from principal paydowns were reinvested
primarily in real estate loans, consumer loans and securities held to maturity.
Investment securities held to maturity, primarily mortgage-backed securities,
U.S. Treasury and government agency securities, corporate bonds and municipal
obligations, increased from $7.3 million at December 31, 1996 to $8.6 million at
September 30, 1997. This increase can be attributed to the purchase of $2.0
million in government agency securities, $.6 million in U.S. Treasury securities
and $2.0 million in mortgage-backed securities. These purchases were offset by
$3.1 million in normal maturities and paydowns in the portfolio.
Total loans receivable as of September 30, 1997 were $50.3 million, an increase
of $2.8 million over total loans at December 31, 1996. The majority of this
increase occurred in consumer loans, primarily home equity loans which increased
by $2.0 million over the respective balance at December 31, 1996. Real estate
loans secured by one-to-four family properties increased by $.7 million and real
estate loans secured by other properties, including construction loans as of
September 30, 1997, increased by $.7 million during the period.
The Company's shareholders' equity increased $200,955 or 3.4%, from $5,863,587
at December 31, 1996 to $6,064,542 at September 30, 1997. This increase is due
primarily to earnings in the first three quarters and the resulting increase in
equity, offset by cash dividends on common stock of $115,332. The Company's
equity as a percentage of total assets at September 30, 1997 was 8.6% and
exceeds all regulatory requirements.
Liquidity measures the ability of the Company to meet its maturing obligations
and existing commitments, to withstand fluctuations in deposit levels, to fund
its operations and to provide for customers credit needs. The Company's
principal sources of funds are customer deposits, advances from the Federal Home
Loan Bank of New York and principal and interest payments on loans,
mortgage-backed securities and investments. Under current federal
regulations, Albion Federal is required to maintain specified liquid assets
in an amount equal to at least 5% of its net withdrawable liabilities plus
short-term borrowings. The Company has generally maintained liquidity levels
well above those required by regulation. At September 30, 1997, the
Association's liquidity ratio was 14.2%, exceeding the minimum required.
Federal funds sold at September 30, 1997 amounted to $4,000,000. These
funds are available immediately to meet upcoming obligations. The Company
has not sold any investments prior to maturity and has not transferred any
securities between its available for sale and held to maturity categories.
Comparison of Operating Results for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 1997 and
1996
Net Income. Net income of $256,721 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997
represents an increase of $332,459 from the $(75,738) loss in the comparable
period ended September 30, 1996.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased to $1,709,273 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1997, up 11.6% from $1,531,008 earned during the nine
month period ended September 30, 1996. This increase is due primarily to growth
in the balance sheet, primarily loans and investment securities, as the
Company's net interest margin has remained relatively constant. Total interest
income increased 16.6% or $545,764 during the period while total interest
expense increased 20.9% or $367,499.
Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for possible loan losses, the charge
to earnings for potential credit losses associated with lending activities, was
$26,414 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, a decrease of $68,350 from
the comparable period in 1996. Management charges earnings for an amount
necessary to maintain the allowance for possible loan losses at a level
considered adequate to absorb potential losses in the loan portfolio. The level
of the allowance is based on management's evaluation of individual loans, past
loan loss experience, the assessment of prevailing conditions and anticipated
economic conditions and other relevant factors. The allowance for possible loan
losses of the Association at September 30, 1997 was $270,191 or .53% of total
loans, compared to $305,900, or .64% of total loans at December 31, 1996. The
decrease in the allowance for possible loan losses was due primarily to a
$40,000 write-down of three participation mortgage loan pools during the period.
The decrease in the provision provision during the first nine months was due
primarily to management's quarterly analysis of the Association's loan
portfolio. In the prior year, management increased the provision due to
deterioration in the credit quality of three participation mortgage loan pools.
Noninterest Income. Noninterest income for the nine month period ended
September 30, 1997 was $288,477 compared with $200,053 during the same period in
the prior year. This increase was attributable to increased fee income from
depository transaction accounts and fee income from New Frontier of Albion
Corp. Included in September 30, 1997 and September 30, 1996 results was
nonrecurring loan recovery income related to profits on the sale of real
estate owned of $34,476 and $32,082 respectively.
Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense for the nine month period ended
September 30, 1997, was $1,536,082, a decrease of 13.5% from the $1,775,235
recorded for the same period in the prior year. This decrease is primarily the
result of decreased deposit insurance premiiums of $57,406 or 62.5% due to
reduced premiums being charged as a result of the prior year recapitalization of
the Savings Association Insurance Fund and the one-time charge of $274,921
associated withe that recapitalization in the prior year. Other decreased
expenses include: professional fees of $12,062 or 12.4% and data processing fees
of $9,678 or 6.3%. These decreases were partially offset by increases in the
following: occupancy expenses of $42,300 or 18.8%; and other operating expenses
of $71,275 or 28.4%. These increases were primarily the result of general
increases in overall business volume and included a nonrecurring charge of
$41,642 for expenses related to the conversion to our in-house data processing
system.
Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended September 30, 1997
and 1996
Net Income. Net income of $93,259 for the three months ended September 30, 1997
represents an increase of $261,050 from the $(167,791) loss in the comparable
period ended September 30, 1996.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased to $586,929 for the three
months ended September 30, 1997, up 9.9% from $534,161 earned during the three
month period ended September 30, 1996. This increase is due primarily to growth
in the balance sheet, primarily loans and investment securities. Total interest
income increased 19.9% or $221,529 during the period while total interest
expense increased 29.1% or $168,761.
Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for possible loan losses, the charge
to earnings for potential credit losses associated with lending activities, was
$9,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1997, a decrease of $67,764 from
the $9,000 in the comparable period in 1996. In the prior year, management
increased the provision due to deterioration in the credit quality of three
participation mortgage loan pools.
Noninterest Income. Noninterest income for the three month period ended
September 30, 1997 was $90,514 compared with $63,487 during the same period in
the prior year. This increase was attributable primarily to increased fee
income from depository transaction accounts and fee income from New Frontier of
Albion Corp.
Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense for the three month period ended
September 30, 1997 was $512,614, a decrease of 35.5% from the 794,974 recorded
for the same period in the prior year. This decrease is primarily the result of
decreased deposit insurance premiums of $19,904 or 63.0% due to reduced premiums
being charged as a result of the prior year recapitalization of the Savings
Association Insurance Fund and the one-time charge of $274,921 associated with
that recapitalization in the prior year. Other decreased expenses include:
salaries and employee benefits of $13,271 or 6.0%; and professional fees of
$9,504 or 27.9%. These decreases were partially offset by increases in the
following: occupancy expenses of $22,826 or 29.7%; and other operating expenses
of $14,930 or 14.4%. These increases were primarily the result of general
increases in overall business volume and supplies associated with the Company's
new in-house data processing system.
New Accounting Pronouncement. SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share", was issued in
February 1997 and is effective for financial statements issued for periods
ending after December 15, 1997. This statement replaces the presentation of
primary earnings per share (EPS) previously required by Accounting Principles
Board (APB) Opinion No. 15, "Earnings per Share", with basic EPS. It also
requires dual presentation of basic EPS and diluted EPS on the face of the
income statement for all entities with complex capital structures. Diluted EPS
is computed similarly to fully diluted EPS pursuant to APB Opinion No. 15.
Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to
common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding
for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if
securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted
into common stock.
The Company will adopt this Statement for its financial statements for the
