RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In June 1998, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standard No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, ("FAS133"). The standard establishes comprehensive accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities. FAS133 requires that all derivative instruments be recorded in the statement of financial position at fair value; the accounting for gains or losses due to changes in fair value of the derivative instruments depends on whether the derivative instruments qualify as hedging instruments. If a derivative instrument does not qualify as a hedge, the gain or loss is reported in earnings when it occurs. However, if the derivative qualifies as a hedging instrument, the accounting varies based on the type of risk being hedged, and includes either recognizing earnings for changes in fair value each reporting period, or accumulating changes in other comprehensive income and recognizing earnings during the period that the hedged forecasted item impacts earnings. FAS133, as amended, becomes effective for financial statements for the first quarter of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. Management is evaluating the impact of FAS133 on the financial condition of the Company. 9 MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS - ---------------------------------- REVIEW OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OVERVIEW - -------- Net income for the nine months ended June 30, 2000 was $400,997 an increase of $136,463 or 51.59% when compared to the nine months ended June 30, 1999. The increase in net earnings resulted primarily from the recovery in February 2000 of $150,000 from a $220,000 loan that was charged off during the fiscal year ended September 30, 1998 and from a $112,352 increase in net interest income. The positive impact of the loan loss recovery was partially offset by the addition of $50,000 to the Bank's loan loss provision during the nine month period ended June 30, 2000. There were no loan loss provisions added during the nine month period ended June 30, 1999. Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2000 was $143,622 an increase of $38,674 or 36.85% as compared to net income during the three months ended June 30, 1999 of $104,948. NET INTEREST INCOME - ------------------- Net interest income is the difference between the interest and fees earned on loans, securities and other interest earning assets (interest income) and the interest paid on deposits and FHLB advances (interest expense). The Bank's deposits and FHLB advances are primarily short term in nature and reprice faster than the Bank's interest earning assets, consisting mainly of loans and mortgage backed securities, which generally have longer maturities. The mix of the Bank's interest earning assets and deposits and FHLB advances along with the trend of market interest rates have a substantial impact on the change in net interest margin. The cost of the Bank's interest bearing liabilities increased two basis points from 3.91% for the nine month period ended June 30, 1999 to 3.93% during the nine month period ended June 30, 2000 while the yield on interest earning assets increased five basis points from 7.54% for the nine month period ended June 30, 1999 to 7.59% for the comparable period in the current fiscal year. The Bank's net interest income increased by $108,257 or 4.77% from $2,427,913 for the nine month period ended June 30, 1999 to $2,540,265 for the nine month period in the current fiscal year. Net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2000 increased by $80,086 or 10.78% from $742,526 for the three months ended June 30, 1999 to $822,612 for the three months ended June 30, 2000. Net interest income increased for the three month and nine months periods ended June 30, 2000 as compared to the same periods in the prior fiscal year as the result of in an increase in the amount of interest earning assets and from a slight increase in the Bank's net interest margin. OTHER INCOME - ------------ Other income decreased slightly from $357,094 for the nine month period ended June 30, 1999 to $352,362 for the comparable period in the current fiscal year. Decreases in gains on sale of securities of $33,611 were offset by an increase in service charges on deposits of $25,456 when comparing the nine months ended June 30, 2000 to the comparable period in the prior fiscal year. During the three months ended June 30, 2000 other income declined by $2,981 as a result of a decrease in service charges on deposits for the period when compared to the three month period ended June 30, 2000. 10 OTHER EXPENSE - ------------- During the nine month period ended June 30, 2000 the Bank's other expense decreased by .78% or $17,300 from $2,211,335 for the nine month period ended June 30, 1999 to $2,194,035 for the comparable period in the current year. Salaries and employee benefits, federal insurance premiums, data processing expense and advertising expense decreased by $10,819, $28,313, $28,793 and $80,002 respectively when comparing the nine months ended June 30, 1999 to the nine month period ended June 30, 2000. The decrease in salaries and employee benefits resulted from a decline in the expense associated with the Bank's Employee Stock Ownership Plan due to the completion of the allocation of shares related to a $412,750 ten year loan made in 1989. The decrease in federal insurance premiums resulted from an upgrade in the FDIC classification of the Bank. The decrease in data processing expense resulted from declines in Year 2000 related expenses. The decline in advertising resulted from decreases in the amount of media purchases compared to the nine month period ended June 30, 1999 during which the Bank was conducting an extensive advertising campaign. The decreases described above were partially offset by increases in professional services and other expense of $49,289 and $92,567, respectively. The increase in professional services resulted from an unsuccessful bid by the Bank for another institution offered by the FDIC. The increase in other expense included higher expenses for property tax and state franchise tax, as well as an increase in charitable contributions and travel expense. During the three month period ended June 30, 2000 other expense increased by $13,431 or 1.90%. Increases in professional services and other expense of $36,909 and $19,700 when comparing the three month period ended June 30 in the current fiscal to the same period in the prior fiscal year. The increases described above were partially offset by decreases in advertising expense and federal insurance premiums of $31,587 and $12,817, respectively. See the discussion of other expense for the nine month period ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 for explanations concerning the changes. REVIEW OF FINANCIAL CONDITION - ----------------------------- Significant factors affecting the Bank's financial condition from September 30, 1999 to June 30, 2000 are detailed below: ASSETS - ------ Total assets increased $2,752,122 or 2.86% from $96,104,373 at September 30, 1999 to $98,856,495 at June 30, 2000. Significant changes in assets balances include an increase in investment securities available for sale and loans which increased by $6,015,761 or 17.90% and $2,284,892 or 5.25%, respectively from $33,604,258 and $43,521,160, respectively at September 30, 1999 to $39,620,019 and $45,806,052, respectively at June 30, 2000. The increase was funded from decreases in cash and cash equivalents which were maintained at a higher than normal level at September 30, 1999 in anticipation of possible Year 2000 liquidity demands and from an increase in deposits. Other assets declined from $1,077,514 at September 30, 1999 to $753,408 at June 30, 2000 as the result of approximately $470,000 of short term receivables at September 30, 1999 being collected during the current fiscal year. 11 LIABILITIES - ----------- Total liabilities increased $2,539,711 or 2.87% between September 30, 1999 and June 30, 2000. The increase resulted from an increase in the Bank's interest bearing deposits of $1,897,172 from $75,180,323 at September 30, 1999 to $77,077,495 at June 30, 2000. LOAN QUALITY - ------------ A key to long term earnings growth for Citizens Federal Savings Bank is maintenance of a high quality loan portfolio. The Bank's directive in this regard is carried out through its policies and procedures for review of loans. The goals and results of these policies and procedures are to provide a sound basis for new credit extensions and an early recognition of problem assets to allow the most flexibility in their timely disposition. At June 30, 2000 the Bank had $650,436 in assets classified as substandard, including assets acquired by foreclosure or repossession of $49,530, no assets classified as doubtful and $54,572 in assets classified as loss. A specific loan loss reserve has been established for all loans classified as a loss. At September 30, 1999 the Bank had $848,537 in assets classified as substandard including real estate acquired by foreclosure of $47,270, no assets classified as doubtful and $54,589 in assets classified as loss. The allowance for loan losses was $321,383 at June 30, 2000. Management believes that the current allowance for loan losses is adequate to cover any potential future loan losses which exist in the loan portfolio, although there can be no assurance that further increases in the loan loss allowance will not be made as circumstances warrant. LIQUIDITY AND INTEREST SENSITIVITY - ---------------------------------- The Bank is required under applicable federal regulations to maintain specified levels of cash and "liquid" investments in qualifying types of United States Treasury and federal agency securities and other investments. Such investments serve as a source of funds upon which the Bank may rely to meet deposit withdrawals and other short term needs. The Bank monitors its cash flow position to assure adequate liquidity levels and to take advantage of market opportunities. The Bank maintains liquidity levels, which significantly exceed the minimum regulatory requirements. Management believes that the Bank's liquidity is adequate to fund all outstanding commitments and other cash needs. Changes in interest rates will necessarily lead to changes in net interest margin. The Bank's goal is to minimize volatility in the net interest margin by taking an active role in managing the level, mix and maturity of assets and liabilities. The Bank's primary emphasis in reducing its interest rate risk is to focus on reducing the weighted average maturity of the loan portfolio and by purchasing adjustable rate securities. INFORMATION ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS - -------------------------------------------- Any statement contained in this report which is not a historical fact, or which might otherwise be considered an opinion or projection concerning the Bank or its business, whether expressed or implied, is meant as and should be considered a forward-looking statement as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are based on assumptions and opinions concerning a variety of known and unknown 12 risks, including but not necessarily limited to changes in market conditions, natural disasters and other catastrophic events, increased competition, changes in availability and cost of reinsurance, changes in governmental regulations, and general economic conditions, as well as other risks more completely described in the Bank's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including this Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. If any of these assumptions or opinions prove incorrect, any forward-looking statement made on the basis of such assumptions or opinions may also prove materially incorrect in one or more respects. CAPITAL ADEQUACY AND RESOURCES - ------------------------------ Management is committed to maintaining capital at a level sufficient to protect stockholders and depositors, provide for reasonable growth, and fully comply with all regulatory requirements. Management's strategy to maintain this goal is to retain sufficient earnings while providing a reasonable return to stockholders in the form of dividends and return on equity.
