NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 NOTE 1 - PEOPLES BANKCORP, INC. - ------------------------------- Peoples Bankcorp, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of the State of New York for the purpose of becoming the holding company of Ogdensburg Federal Savings and Loan Association (the "Association") in connection with the Association's conversion from a federally chartered mutual savings and loan association to a federally chartered capital stock savings and loan association. On November 22, 1998, the Company commenced a subscription offering of its shares in connection with the Association's conversion. The Company's offering and the Association's conversion closed on December 28, 1998. A total of 134,390 shares were sold at $10.00 per share. NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION - -------------------------------------------------------------- The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and on the same basis as the Company's audited financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods presented have been included. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year. NOTE 3 - PLAN OF CONVERSION - --------------------------- On July 23, 1998, the Association's Board of Directors formally approved a plan ("Plan") to convert from a federally chartered mutual savings and loan association to a federally chartered stock savings and loan association subject to approval by the Association's members and the Office of Thrift Supervision. The Plan called for the common stock of the Association to be purchased by the Company and the common stock of the Company to be offered to various parties in a subscription offering at a price based upon an independent appraisal of the Association. All requisite approvals were obtained and the conversion and the Company's offering were consummated effective December 28, 1998. Upon consummation of the conversion, the Association established a liquidation account in an amount equal to its retained earnings as reflected in the latest statement of financial condition used in the final conversion prospectus. The liquidation account will be maintained for the benefit of certain depositors of the Association who continue to maintain their deposit accounts in the Association after conversion. In the event of a complete liquidation of the Association, such depositors will be entitled to receive a distribution from the liquidation account before any liquidation may be made with respect to the common stock. 7 Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION The Company's assets consist primarily of its ownership of the Association. As such, the following discussion relates primarily to the Association's financial condition and results of operations. The Association's results of operations depend primarily on net interest income, which is determined by (i) the difference between rates of interest it earns on its interest-earning assets and the rates it pays on interest-bearing liabilities (interest rate spread), and (ii) the relative amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The Association's results of operations are also affected by non-interest expense, including primarily compensation and employee benefits, federal deposit insurance premiums and office occupancy costs. The Association's results of operations also are affected significantly by general and economic and competitive conditions, particularly changes in market interest rates, government policies and actions of regulatory authorities, all of which are beyond its control. FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS In addition to historical information contained herein, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Economic circumstances, the Company's operations and the Company's actual results could differ significantly from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Some of the factors that could cause or contribute to such differences are discussed herein but also include changes in the economy and interest rates in the nation and the Company's market area generally. Some of the forward-looking statements included herein are the statements regarding management's determination of the amount and adequacy of the allowance for losses on loans and the effect of certain recent accounting pronouncements. COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AT MARCH 31, 2003 AND DECEMBER 31, 2002 Total assets at March 31, 2003 amounted to $29.0 million, a $219,000 or 0.76% increase from December 31, 2002's level of $28.8 million. The increase in total assets was centered in a $3.2 million or 73.67% increase in cash and cash equivalents, partially offset by a $510,000 or 3.06% decrease in net loans and a $615,000 or 71.10% decrease in securities held to maturity. Total liabilities at March 31, 2003 increased from $25.5 million at December 31, 2002 to $25.8 million. Deposits, which comprise the majority of total liabilities, amounted to $24.6 million at March 31, 2003, up from $24.4 million at December 31, 2002 for an increase of $208,000, or 0.85% with increases in all categories of deposits other than time certificates. Total stockholders' equity at March 31, 2003 amounted to $3.2 million as compared to $3.2 million at December 31, 2002. Retained earnings increased $15,000, while accumulated other comprehensive income decreased $20,000 and paid in capital remained the same. At March 31, 2003 the Association was in compliance with all applicable regulatory capital requirements with core and tangible capital of $2.7 million (9.53% of adjusted total assets) and total risk based capital of $2.9 million (23.99% of risk weighted assets). RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2003 AND 2002 NET INCOME. Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2003 amounted to $15,000 as compared to $69,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2002. The $54,000 or 78.26% decrease was due to the combined effects of an $76,000 decrease in total interest expense, a decrease in total non-interest income of $10,000 and a $97,000 decrease in total interest income due to prepayment on GNMA and calls of securities available for sale and securities held to maturity. NET INTEREST INCOME. Net interest income before provision for loan losses decreased by $21,000, or 8.68%, from $242,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2002 to $221,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2003. The decrease in net interest income was primarily due to a $76,000 decrease in interest expense as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2002, offset by a $97,000 decrease in total interest income. The decrease in interest expense was due to a $75,000 decrease in interest on deposits which reflected the decrease in interest rates during the first quarter of 2003 as compared to the same period in 2002. The decrease in interest income was primarily due to a $51,000 decrease in interest from securities due to prepayment of securities available for sale and securities held to maturity. 8 PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES. For the three months ended March 31, 2003, the Company made a $2,000 provision for loan losses as compared to a provision of $9,000 or the same period in 2002. The lower provision in 2003 reflected the level of charge-offs during that period. A provision for losses on loans is charged to earnings to bring the total allowance for loan losses to a level considered appropriate by management based on historical experience, the volume and type of lending conducted by the Association, the status of past due principal and interest payments, general economic conditions, particularly as such conditions relate to the Association's market area, and other factors related to the collectibility of the Association's loan portfolio. There can be no assurance that the loan loss allowance of the Association will be adequate to cover losses on nonperforming assets in the future. NON-INTEREST INCOME. Non-interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2003 amounted to $12,000 as compared to $22,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2002 with the decrease attributable to the sale of a GNMA security during the three months ended March 31, 2002, which did not occur for the same period in 2003. NON-INTEREST EXPENSES. Non-interest expenses for the first quarter of 2003 totaled $212,000, up from $161,000 for the first quarter of 2002 with the increase primarily due to the combined effects of a $12,000 increase in salaries and employee benefits, a $3,000 increase in directors' fees and a $31,000 increase in miscellaneous expenses, which was mainly due to the balance paid for environmental cleanup on banking premises. INCOME TAX EXPENSE. Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2003 amounted to $4,000, a $21,000 decrease from the same period in 2002 with the decrease primarily attributable to an decrease in pre-tax income. The Company's effective tax rates for the respective periods were 23.0% and 27.0%. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Association is required to maintain levels of liquid assets consistent with its safe and sound operation. The Association believes its level of liquid assets are sufficient for its needs. The Association's primary sources of funds are deposits, repayment of loans and mortgage-backed securities, maturities of investments and interest-bearing deposits, funds provided from operations. The Association is also able to obtain advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York. While scheduled repayments of loans and mortgage-backed securities and maturities of investment securities are predicable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by the general level of interest rates, economic conditions and competition. The Association uses its liquidity resources principally to fund existing and future loan commitments, to fund maturing certificates of deposit and demand deposit withdrawals, to invest in other interest-earning assets, to maintain liquidity, and to meet operating expenses. FINANCIAL MODERNIZATION LEGISLATION On November 12, 1999, President Clinton signed legislation which could have a far-reaching impact on the financial services industry. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley ("G-L-B") Act authorizes affiliations between banking, securities and insurance firms and authorizes bank holding companies and national banks to engage in a variety of new financial activities. Among the activities that are permitted to bank holding companies are securities and insurance brokerage, securities underwriting, insurance underwriting and merchant banking. The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve Board"), in consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury, may approve additional financial activities. The G-L-B Act, however, prohibits future acquisitions of existing unitary savings and loan holding companies, like the Company, by firms which are engaged in commercial activities and limits the permissible activities of unitary holding companies formed after May 4, 1999. The G-L-B Act imposed new requirements on financial institutions with respect to customer privacy. The G-L-B Act generally prohibits disclosure of customer information to non-affiliated third parties unless the customer has been given the opportunity to object and has not objected to such disclosure. Financial institutions are further required to disclose their privacy policies to customers annually. Financial institutions, however, are required to comply with state law if it is more protective of customer privacy than the G-L-B Act. 9 The G-L-B Act contained significant revisions to the FHLB System. The G-L-B Act imposed new capital requirements on the FHLBs and authorizes them to issue two classes of stock with differing dividend rates and redemption requirements. The G-L-B Act deleted the requirement that the FHLBs annually contribute $300 million to pay interest on certain government obligations in favor of a 20% of net earnings formula. The G-L-B Act expanded the permissible uses of FHLB advances by community financial institutions (under $500 million in assets) to include funding loans to small businesses, small farms and small agri-businesses. The G-L-B Act made membership in the FHLB voluntary for federal savings associations. The G-L-B Act contained a variety of other provisions including a prohibition against ATM surcharges unless the customer has first been provided notice of the imposition and amount of the fee. The G-L-B Act reduced the frequency of Community Reinvestment Act examinations for smaller institutions and imposed certain reporting requirements on depository institutions that make payments to non-governmental entities in connection with the Community Reinvestment Act. The G-L-B Act eliminated the SAIF special reserve and authorized a federal savings association that converts to a national or state bank charter to continue to use the term "federal" in its name and to retain any interstate branches. The Company is unable to predict the impact of the G-L-B Act on its operations at this time. Although the G-L-B Act reduces the range of companies with which the Company may affiliate, it may facilitate affiliations with companies in the financial services industry. Item 3 CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES The Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-14 (c) under the Exchange Act) as of a date within 90 days of the date of filing of this Form 10-QSB. Based upon such evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that such controls and procedures are effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files under the Exchange Act is gathered, analyzed and disclosed with adequate timeliness. There have been no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date of the evaluation described above. 10 PART II.
