7. ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARD
In May 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114, "Accounting by
Creditors for Impairment of a Loan" ("SFAS 114") which was amended in
October 1994 by SFAS 118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan
- - Income Recognition and Disclosure" which are effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1994. These Statements apply to all loans
except large groups of smaller-balance homogeneous loans that are
collectively evaluated for impairment, or loans otherwise carried at fair
value or the lower of cost or fair value. SFAS No. 114 and SFAS No. 118
specifically exclude leases and debt securities from their valuation
standards. These Statements require that all loans that are impaired be
measured and valued based on (1) the present value of expected future cash
flows discounted at the loan's effective rate of interest, (2) the loan's
observable market price, or (3) the fair value of supporting collateral if
the loan is collateral dependent. The Company adopted these standards during
the quarter ended March 31, 1995, with no impact on the Company's financial
position or results of operations. Loans classified as impaired totalled
$6.8 million at September 30, 1995 with a valuation allowance within the
allowance for loan losses of $913,000 at that date. Management believes
that the valuation allowance for impaired loans at September 30, 1995 is
adequate.
Item 2:
DIME FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
Dime Financial Corporation of Wallingford, Connecticut (the "Company"),
organized in 1988, is the parent company of one wholly-owned subsidiary, The
Dime Savings Bank of Wallingford ("Dime"). Consolidated assets as of
September 30, 1995 were $632.6 million.
On February 3, 1993, the Board of Directors of Dime approved, and Dime
thereupon signed, a Consent Agreement with the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation ("FDIC") and the Connecticut Banking Commissioner (the
"Commissioner"), wherein Dime agreed to the issuance of a Cease and Desist
Order (the "Order") by the FDIC pursuant to the provisions of applicable
federal banking law. The Order was subsequently issued and became effective
on February 22, 1993.
On January 31, 1995 the FDIC and the Commissioner took action to remove the
Order. At the request of the regulatory authorities, the Board of Directors
of Dime adopted resolutions committing Dime to continue certain actions
designed to maintain and improve the financial and operating condition of
the institution. Among these is a resolution that continues the requirement
that Dime maintain a Tier 1 leverage capital ratio at or in excess of 6% and
provide advance notice to the FDIC and the Banking Commissioner of any
action of the Board to declare or pay dividends.
The Company began a restructuring program in the second quarter of 1995
which reduced the Company's workforce by approximately 24%. Additional
restructuring plans have been authorized by the Board of Directors to take
effect in the fourth quarter with regard to the outsourcing of the Bank's
data processing operations and other staff reductions. Approximately 10
positions, or 5% of the total workforce, are affected. This additional
restructuring is expected to result in a fourth quarter charge to earnings
of approximately $800,000 from the combination of severance charges and the
writedown to estimated salvage value of fixed assets associated with data
processing. These charges are expected to be substantially offset by
recognition in the fourth quarter of a deferred tax benefit as a result of
improved earnings projections for realization of the Company's deferred tax
asset.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
In the third quarter of 1995, the Company reported net income of $2.1
million or $0.42 per share compared to net income of $1.1 million, or $0.21
per share for the quarter ended September 30, 1994. The third quarter
results were affected primarily by an addition to the allowance for loan
losses of $1.4 million compared with a provision in the third quarter of
1994 of $1.0 million. In addition, the third quarter of 1995 was positively
influenced by the receipt of a refund of $282,000 representing previously
paid FDIC deposit insurance premiums, a net gain of $256,000 from the
operation of OREO, and a reduction in other operating expenses. The
provision for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 totalled $6.7 million
compared with a provision for the same period of 1994 of $2.4 million. The
increase in the loan loss provision for 1995 is due to the higher level of
non-performing loans and the change to a new methodology adopted in the
first quarter of 1995 regarding the increased risk on 1-4 family residential
loans. Historical charge-off experience and ongoing reviews during 1995 of
specific concentrations within that portfolio indicated that collateral
values have declined substantially on many loans since their original
funding date.
The Company's earnings primarily depend upon the difference between the
interest and dividend income earned on loans and investments and the
interest expense paid on deposits and borrowed money ("net interest
income"). The difference between the average interest rate earned on loans
and investments and the average interest rate paid on deposits and
borrowings ("net spread") is affected by economic factors influencing
general interest rates, loan demand, the level of non-performing loans, and
savings flows as well as the effects of competition for loans and deposits.
Net income is also affected by gains and losses on investment securities
transactions and other operating income such as service charges and fees
offset by additions to the provision for loan losses, other operating
expenses and income tax expense.
At September 30, 1995, the Company's allowance for loan losses was $13.7
million or 127.49% of non-performing loans, 110.56% of non-performing
assets, and 2.86% of total loans. At December 31, 1994, the allowance for
loan losses was $9.3 million, or 117.17% of non-performing loans, 79.91% of
non-performing assets, and 1.83% of total loans. At September 30, 1994, the
allowance for loan losses was $10.4 million, or 183.75% of non-performing
loans, 119.96% of non-performing assets, and 2.01% of total loans, excluding
$11.4 million of loans and other real estate owned held for sale.
At September 30, 1995, non-performing loans, totalled $10.8 million, or
2.24% of total loans, compared with $8.0 million, or 1.56% of total loans at
December 31, 1994, and compared with $5.7 million, or 1.10% of total loans
at September 30, 1994, excluding $2.0 million of loans classified as held
for sale. Other real estate owned totalled $1.6 million at September 30,
1995, compared to $3.7 million, at December 31, 1994 and $3.0 million at
September 30, 1994 excluding $9.4 million of other real estate owned
classified as held for sale. Total non-performing assets, were $12.4
million, or 1.96% of total assets at September 30, 1995, compared with $11.7
million or 1.83% of total assets at December 31, 1994, and compared with
$8.7 million or 1.32% of total assets at September 30, 1994, excluding $11.4
million of loans and other real estate classified as held for sale. All
assets classified as held for sale were disposed of during 1994 at prices
consistent with management's expectations.
Total loans decreased by $30.2 million, or 5.92% from $510.4 million at
December 31, 1994 to $480.2 million at September 30, 1995 and decreased
$34.4 million or 6.69% from $514.6 million at September 30, 1994, excluding
$2.0 million of loans classified as held for sale.
Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston ("FHLBB") advances totalled $58.0 million
at September 30, 1995 compared with $60.0 million on December 31, 1994 and
September 30, 1994.
Net deposits, including escrow deposits, declined $7.2 million from $526.6
million at December 31, 1994 to $519.4 million at September 30, 1995 and
decreased by $19.0 million from September 30, 1994.
ASSET QUALITY
In order to maintain asset quality, areas within Dime are present to assist
in the assessment of loan quality in addition to providing the Board and
management with analysis to determine that the allowance for loan losses is
sufficient given the risks inherent in the loan portfolio at a point in
time. During the third quarter of 1995 the Company added $1.4 million to the
allowance for loan losses compared with a provision of $1.0 million in the
third quarter of 1994. The increase in the provision was due to the
increased level of non-performing loans. For the nine months ended September
30, 1995, the Company added $6.7 million to the allowance for loan losses
compared with $2.4 million during the first nine months of 1994. The
increase in the provision during 1995 was primarily due to increased non-
performing loans and the adoption of a new methodology regarding the
increased risk on 1 - 4 family residential loans.
Loan review, which is independent of the lending department, reviews and
monitors Dime's loan portfolio based on loan performance, property re-
appraisal, current and prospective economic conditions, facts known about
specific borrowers, or any other relevant factors. This function rates
loans and assists management in determining that the level of the allowance
for loan losses is adequate relative to the risks inherent in the portfolio.
The net cost of operation of other real estate owned ("OREO") may include;
gains or losses on the sale of OREO, writedowns of OREO, and expenses to
operate and maintain OREO. The net cost of operation of other real estate
owned equalled a net gain of $256,000 for the third quarter of 1995 compared
with a net cost of $469,000 for the third quarter of 1994. The net cost of
OREO for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 equalled a net gain of
$432,000 compared with a net cost of $659,000 during the nine months ended
September 30, 1994. The reduction in costs during 1995 are primarily due to
gains realized on the sales of OREO coupled with reduced levels of OREO.
As part of the Company's independent loan review function, a process is in
place whereby all loans are reviewed and classified into one of seven
categories. In addition to the disclosure on page 7 in the table entitled,
"Non-performing Assets," management has classified loans totalling $12.0
million at September 30, 1995 as substandard for internal purposes. At
September 30, 1994 loans classified as substandard totalled $20.0 million.
At December 31, 1994 loans classified as substandard totalled $22.2 million.
These loans are still performing. Management does not have serious doubt as
to their collectability and believes that the amounts specifically allocated
to these loans in the allowance for loan losses are adequate. Management had
performing loans classified as doubtful for internal purposes at September
30, 1995 totalling $24,000 compared with $687,000 at September 30, 1994 and
compared with $206,000 at December 31, 1994.
Under FDIC guidelines substandard loans are inadequately protected by the
current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral
pledged, if any, and must have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that
jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. Doubtful loans have all the
weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard with the added
characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full,
on the basis of currently known facts, conditions, and values, highly
questionable and improbable.
Management continues to closely monitor the loan portfolio and the
foreclosed properties of its subsidiary and takes appropriate action when
necessary. The table entitled "Allowance For Loan Losses," on page 7,
indicates that at September 30, 1995 the balance in the allowance for loan
losses represented 127.49% of non-performing loans and 2.86% of total loans.
Management believes that the allowance for loan losses at September 30, 1995
is adequate, based on the quality of the loan portfolio at that date.
LIQUIDITY, SOURCES AND USES OF FUNDS, AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Liquidity involves the ability to meet cash flow requirements of depositors
wanting to withdraw funds or of borrowers needing assurance that sufficient
funds will be available to meet their credit needs. Cash on hand, demand
deposits at other financial institutions, interest-bearing deposits with an
original maturity of three months or less, and Federal funds sold are the
principal sources of liquidity. Cash and cash equivalents amounted to $25.3
million at September 30, 1995, as compared to $46.0 million at September 30,
1994. Cash and cash equivalents represented 4.00% of total assets at
September 30, 1995 as compared to 7.04% of total assets at September 30,
1994. The Company believes that its liquidity is sufficient to meet
currently known demands and commitments.
The primary objective of asset/liability management is to maximize net
interest income while assuring adequate liquidity combined with the
maintenance of an appropriate balance between interest earning assets and
interest bearing liabilities. Interest rate sensitivity management seeks to
avoid fluctuating net interest margins and to enhance consistent growth of
net interest income through periods of changing interest rates. The Company
regularly monitors deposit rates and loan rates offered by other financial
institutions in its market area in an attempt to achieve a desired balance
of deposits and loans and to minimize interest costs.
Principal sources of funds include cash receipts from deposits, loan
principal and interest payments, earnings on investments, and proceeds from
maturing investments. The current principal uses of funds include
disbursements to fund investments and loan originations, payments of
interest on deposits, and payments to meet the operating expenses of the
Company. During the first nine months of 1995, deposits decreased by $7.2
million from $526.6 million at December 31, 1994 to $519.4 million at
September 30, 1995 compared to a decrease of $19.0 million from $538.5
million at September 30, 1994. The Company may rely on borrowings from the
Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston ("FHLBB") if deposits do not keep pace with
the demand for quality loans. At September 30, 1995, FHLBB borrowings
totalled $58.0 million, compared with $60.0 million at December 31, 1994 and
at September 30, 1994. The Company currently has no plans to increase the
level of borrowings.
The Company's primary source of funds is in the form of dividends received
from its subsidiary bank, Dime. Therefore, the liquidity and the capital
resources of the Company are largely dependent upon the liquidity,
profitability, and capital position of its subsidiary, and the ability of
the subsidiary to declare and pay dividends under applicable laws and
regulatory authorities. As noted above, Dime has agreed not to declare or
pay any dividends without the prior written consent of the FDIC and the
Commissioner. In addition, the Company has agreed not to declare or pay any
dividends without the prior written consent of the Federal Reserve Bank of
Boston. The following table presents the Company's risk-based and leverage
capital ratios:

Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses for the quarter
ended September 30, 1995 totalled $1.4 million compared with a provision of
$1.0 million for the third quarter of 1994. The provision for the first
nine months of 1995 totalled $6.7 million compared with a provision of $2.4
million for the first nine months of 1994. The increase in the loan loss
provision for the third quarter compared with the prior year is due to the
higher level of non-performing loans. The increase in the loan loss
provision for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 compared with the
prior year resulted primarily from a new methodology adopted in the first
quarter of 1995 regarding the increased risk on 1 - 4 family residential
loans which comprise 77% of the total loan portfolio. Historical charge-off
experience and ongoing reviews during 1995 of specific concentrations within
that portfolio indicate that collateral values have declined substantially
on many loans since their original funding date.
Investment Securities Gains (Losses), Net. The Company recorded $64,000 net
investment security gains during the third quarter of 1995 and recorded net
security gains totalling $298,000 for the nine months ended September 30,
1995. This compares to $6,000 net investment security gains during the
third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1994.
Other Operating Income. Other operating income totalled $528,000 for the
third quarter of 1995 compared with $509,000 in the third quarter of 1994
and totalled $1.6 million for the first nine months of 1995 and the first
nine months of 1994.
Other Operating Expenses. Total operating expenses were $3.3 million for
the third quarter of 1995 compared with total operating expenses of $4.8
million for the third quarter of 1994. The reduction in 1995 reflects
progress achieved under the restructuring plan as well as reduction in the
net cost OREO primarily due to gains recognized on the sales of OREO. The
net cost of OREO for the third quarter equalled a net gain of $256,000
versus a net cost of $469,000 for the third quarter of 1994. For the first
nine months of 1995, operating expenses, exclusive of a net restructuring
charge of $947,000 charged in the second quarter, were $12.1 million versus
$14.9 million for the year earlier period. For the nine months ended
September 30, 1995, the net cost of OREO equalled a net gain of $432,000
compared with a net cost of $659,000 for the prior year period.
Income Taxes. Income tax expense for the third quarter of 1995 totalled
$12,000 compared with income tax expense in the third quarter of 1994 of
$15,000. Income taxes for the first nine months of 1995 totalled a net
benefit of $2.0 million as the Company recognized $2.0 million of a deferred
tax benefit in the second quarter of 1995 as a result of improved earnings
projections. Income tax expense recognized in the first nine months of 1994
totalled $45,000. For 1995 and 1994 the Company has provided only for the
minimum state tax because of tax loss carry forwards that are available to
taxable income.
Net Income. The factors discussed above resulted in net income of $2.1
million or $0.42 per share for the third quarter ended September 30, 1995
compared with net income of $1.1 million or $0.21 per share for the third
quarter ended September 30, 1994. Net income totalled $3.4 million or $0.67
per share for the first nine months of 1995 compared with net income of $3.6
