NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
COLUMBIA FINANCIAL OF KENTUCKY, INC.
For the three-and nine-month periods ended
June 30, 1998 and 1997
1. Basis of Presentation
- ---------------------------
The accompanying unaudited financial statements were prepared in
accordance with instructions for Form 10-QSB, and, therefore, do not include
information or footnotes necessary for complete presentation of financial
position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, these financial statements should
be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto of Columbia Federal Savings Bank for the year ended September 30, 1997.
However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of only
normal recurring accruals) which are necessary for fair presentation of the
consolidated financial statements have been included. The results of operations
for the three-month and nine-month periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for an entire fiscal
year.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of Columbia Financial of Kentucky, Inc. ("CFKY") and Columbia Federal Savings
Bank ("Columbia Federal"). All significant intercompany items have been
eliminated.
2. Impact of Recent Accounting Standards
- -------------------------------------------
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No.
131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information."
SFAS No. 131, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
1997, requires operating segments of a company be segregated to provide a
better understanding of performance and a better assessment of its future cash
flows. Generally, financial information is required to be reported on the bases
that it is used internally for evaluating segment performance and deciding how
to allocate resources to segments. Management does not believe that the
adoption of SFAS No. 131 will have a material impact on the disclosure
requirements of CFKY.
In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive
Income," which establishes standards for reporting and displaying comprehensive
income and its components (revenues, expenses, gains and losses) in a full set
of general-purpose financial statements. SFAS No. 130 requires that all items
that are required to be recognized under accounting standards as components of
comprehensive income be reported in a financial statement that is displayed
with the same prominence as other financial statements and requires that an
enterprise (a) classify items of other comprehensive income by their nature in
a financial statement and (b) display the accumulated balance of other
comprehensive income separately from retained earnings and additional paid-in
capital in the equity section of the statement of financial position. Under
existing accounting standards, other comprehensive income shall be classified
separately into foreign currency items, minimum pension liability adjustments
and unrealized gains and losses on certain investments in debt and equity
securities. The provisions of SFAS No. 130 are effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1997. Management does not believe the adoption of
SFAS No. 130 will have a material impact on the disclosure requirements of
CFKY.
In December 1996, the FASB issued SFAS No. 126, which amends SFAS No.
107, "Disclosure About Fair Value of Financial Instruments," to make the
disclosures about fair value of financial instruments prescribed in SFAS No.
107 optional for nonpublic entities with total assets less than $100 million on
the date of the financial statement. SFAS No. 126 also requires that the entity
has not held or issued any derivative financial instruments, as defined in SFAS
No. 119, "Disclosure About Derivative Financial Instruments and Fair Value of
Financial Instruments," other than loan commitments, during the reporting
periods. Management believes the adoption of SFAS No. 126 has not impacted the
disclosure requirements of CFKY based on Columbia Federal's compliance with
SFAS No. 107 disclosure requirements in prior periods.
In June 1996, the FASB issued SFAS No. 125, which is effective, on a
prospective basis, for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 1996. SFAS No.
125 provides accounting and reporting standards for transfers and servicing of
financial assets and extinguishment of liabilities based on consistent
application of financial-components approach that focuses on control. SFAS No.
125 extends the "available for sale" and "trading" approach of SFAS No. 115 to
non-security financial assets that can be contractually prepaid or otherwise
settled in such a way that the holder of the asset would not recover
substantially all of its recorded investment. In addition, SFAS No. 125 amends
SFAS No. 115 to prevent a security from being classified as held-to-maturity if
the security can be prepaid or settled in such a manner that the holder of the
security would not recover substantially all of its recorded investment. The
extension of the SFAS No. 115 approach to certain non-security financial assets
and the amendment to SFAS No. 115 are effective for financial assets held on or
acquired after January 1, 1997. The adoption of SFAS No. 125 did not have a
material impact on the disclosure requirements of CFKY.
3. Consummation of the Conversion to a Stock Savings Bank
- ---------------------------------------------------------------
On October 9, 1997, the Board of Directors of Columbia Federal
unanimously adopted a Plan of Conversion to convert Columbia Federal from a
federal mutual savings bank to a federal stock savings bank with the concurrent
formation of a newly formed holding company, CFKY, incorporated under the laws
of the State of Ohio. The conversion was accomplished through the adoption of a
Federal Stock Charter and Federal Stock Bylaws and the sale of CFKY's common
shares in an amount equal to the pro forma market value of Columbia Federal
after giving effect to the conversion. A subscription offering of the shares of
CFKY to Columbia Federal's members and to an employee stock benefit plan was
conducted.
The conversion was completed on April 15, 1998 and resulted in the
issuance of 2,671,450 common shares of CFKY which, after consideration of
offering expenses totaling approximately $775,000 and 213,716 shares allocated
to the Columbia Federal of Kentucky, Inc. Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the
"ESOP"), resulted in net proceeds of $23.8 million.
At the time of conversion, Columbia Federal established a liquidation
account in an amount equal to its regulatory capital as of September 30, 1997.
The liquidation account will be maintained for the benefit of eligible
depositors who continue to maintain their accounts at Columbia Federal after
the conversion. The liquidation account will be reduced annually to the extent
eligible depositors have reduced their qualifying deposits. Subsequent
increases in deposits will not restore an eligible account holder's interest in
the liquidation account. In the event of complete liquidation, and only in such
event, each eligible depositor will be entitled to receive a distribution from
the liquidation account in an amount proportionate to the current adjusted
qualifying balances for accounts then held. Columbia Federal may not pay
dividends that would reduce shareholders' equity below the required liquidation
account balance.
Under OTS regulations, limitations have been imposed on all "capital
distributions", including cash dividends by savings institutions. The
regulation establishes a three-tiered system of restrictions, with the greatest
flexibility afforded to thrifts that are both well capitalized and given
favorable qualitative examination ratings by the OTS.
4. Pending Legislative Changes
- ---------------------------------
Legislation to recapitalize the Savings Association Insurance Fund (the
"SAIF") of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC") and to
eliminate a significant premium disparity between the Bank Insurance Fund (the
"BIF") of the FDIC and the SAIF effective September 30, 1996, provides for the
merger of the BIF and the SAIF effective January 1, 1999, assuming that the
federal savings association charter has been eliminated.
Congress is considering legislation to eliminate the federal savings
association charter and the separate regulation of federal thrifts, including
federal savings banks. Pursuant to such legislation, Congress may develop a
common charter for all financial institutions, eliminate the OTS and regulate
Columbia Federal under federal law as a bank or require Columbia Federal to
change its charter, which would likely change the type of activities in which
Columbia Federal may engage and would probably subject Columbia Federal to more
regulation by the FDIC. In addition, CFKY may become subject to different
holding company regulations, including separate capital requirements and
limitations on activities. Although CFKY cannot predict whether or when
Congress may actually pass legislation regarding CFKY's and Columbia Federal's
regulatory requirements or charter, it is not anticipated that the current
activities of CFKY or Columbia Federal will be materially affected by such
legislation.
5. Earnings Per Share
- ------------------------
Basic earnings per share is computed based upon the weighted average
shares outstanding during the period, less shares in the ESOP that are
unallocated and not committed to be released. Weighted average common shares
outstanding, which give effect to 213,716 unallocated ESOP shares, totaled
2,457,734 shares for the three-month period ended June 30, 1998. Diluted
earnings per share is computed taking into consideration common shares
outstanding and dilutive potential common shares. Presently, CFKY has no
dilutive potential common shares. Weighted-average shares outstanding for
purposes of computing diluted earnings per share totaled 2,457,734 for the
three months ended June 30, 1998. The provisions of SFAS No. 128 "Earnings Per
Share" are not applicable to the three-month and nine-month periods ended June
30, 1997 and nine-month period ended June 30, 1998, as the conversion from
mutual to stock form was completed in April, 1998.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
COLUMBIA FINANCIAL OF KENTUCKY, INC.
Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
-----------------------------------------
In addition to historical information contained herein, this Form 10- QSB
contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.
Economic circumstances, Columbia Federal's operations and 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 Columbia Federal's market area generally.
Some of the forward-looking statements included herein are the statements
regarding management's determination of the amount of allowance for losses on
loans, the adequacy of collateral on nonperforming loans, legislative changes
with respect to the federal thrift charter, the effect of certain accounting
pronouncements and the year 2000. See Exhibit 99 "Safe Harbor Under the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995," attached hereto and incorporated
herein by reference.
Discussion of Financial Condition Changes from September 30, 1997 to
June 30, 1998
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
General. CFKY's assets totaled $119.0 million at June 30, 1998, an
increase of $15.0 million, or 14.4%, from $104.0 million at September 30, 1997.
The increase resulted primarily from a $4.7 million increase in cash and cash
equivalents, a $6.9 million increase in held-to-maturity securities and a $3.6
million increase in mortgage-backed securities, partially offset by a $1.0
million decrease in available-for-sale securities. Deposits decreased $9.4
million and advances from borrowers for taxes and insurance decreased $87,000.
The increase in cash, investments and mortgage-backed securities was
primarily a result of funds received in conjunction with CFKY's initial public
stock offering (the "offering"), which was completed on April 15, 1998.
Liquid Assets and Investments. Liquid assets (cash and cash equivalents)
totaled $11.5 million at June 30, 1998, an increase of $4.7 million, or 69%,
from the total at September 30, 1997. This increase resulted primarily from an
increase in funds from the Offering. Proceeds from the Offering were also
invested in mortgage-backed securities.
Loans Receivable. Net loans receivable equaled $62.1 million at June 30,
1998, compared to $61.6 million at September 30, 1997, an 0.8% increase,
attributable to loans being originated more rapidly than loans were being
repaid.
Allowance for Losses on Loans. Columbia Federal's allowance for loan
losses totaled $300,000 at June 30, 1998, and September 30, 1997. The allowance
represented .49% of total loans at June 30, 1998 and September 30, 1997. As of
September 30, 1997, there was $601,000 in nonperforming loans, which was .98%
of total loans at that date. Of such amount, $473,000 was due from one borrower
with 18 loans. As of June 30, 1998, all nonperforming loans had been brought
current.
Although management believes that its allowance for loan losses at June
30, 1998, was adequate based upon the available facts and circumstances, there
can be no assurances that additions to such allowance will not be necessary in
future periods, which could adversely affect CFKY's results of operations.
Deposits. Total deposits decreased by $9.4 million, to $80.8 million, at
June 30, 1998, from $90.2 million at September 30, 1997. This decrease resulted
primarily from depositors withdrawing funds to purchase common shares in the
conversion. At June 30, 1998, certificates of deposit that will mature within
one year accounted for 28.7% of Columbia Federal's deposit liabilities.
Capital. Columbia Federal is required to meet each of three minimum
capital standards promulgated by the Office of Thrift Supervision (the "OTS"),
hereinafter described as the tangible capital requirement, the core capital
requirement and the risk-based capital requirement. The tangible capital
requirement provides for the maintenance of tangible capital, consisting of
retained earnings less all-intangible assets, equal to 1.5% of adjusted total
assets. The core capital requirement provides for the maintenance of core
capital consisting of tangible capital plus certain forms of supervisory
goodwill, equal to 3% of adjusted total assets, while the risk-based capital
requirement mandates maintenance of risk-based capital consisting of core
capital plus general loan loss allowances, equal to 8% of risk-weighted assets
as defined by OTS regulations. As of June 30, 1998, Columbia Federal's tangible
and core capital totaled $26.2 million, or 21.8% of adjusted total assets,
which exceeded the minimum requirements of $2.4 million and $4.8 million, by
$23.8 million and $21.4 million, respectively. As of June 30, 1998, Columbia
Federal's risk-based capital was $26.5 million, or 53.5% of risk-weighted
assets, exceeding the minimum requirement by $22.5 million.
Comparison of Operating Results for the Three-Month Periods Ended
June 30, 1998 and 1997
- -----------------------------------------------------------------
General. CFKY's recorded net income of $239,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 1998, compared to income of $181,000 for the same period in
1997, a $58,000 and 32% increase. The increase resulted primarily from a
$210,000 increase in interest income and a decrease in interest expense of
$50,000. Such changes were offset by a $176,000 increase in non-interest
expenses and a $32,000 increase in income tax expense.
Interest Income. Interest income increased $210,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 1998 compared to the three months ended June 30, 1997. This was
a result of an increase in average balances in interest-earning assets as a
result of funds from the Offering. Yields on interest-earning assets were
relatively constant for the three-month period ended June 30, 1998 and 1997.
Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $50,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 1998 compared to the three months ended June 30, 1997. This
decrease was the result of a decrease in cost of funds from 4.80% for the three
months ended June 30, 1997 to 4.04% for the three months ended June 30, 1998,
partially offset by an increase in average deposits of $12.8 million from $91.4
million for the three months ended June 30, 1997 to $104.2 for the three months
ended June 30, 1998. Also, interest on FHLB advances decreased $7,000 for the
three months ended June 30, 1998.
Columbia Federal's net interest rate spread was 3.20% for the three
months ended June 30, 1998, compared to 3.08% for the three months ended June
30, 1997.
Non-interest Income and Non-interest Expense. Non-interest income was
$25,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1998, compared to $21,000 for the
same period in 1997, primarily due to an increase in fee income. Non-interest
expense increased $176,000, or 26.9%, to $830,000. The primary reason for this
increase was the increase in salaries and employee benefits from $433,000 for
the three months ended June 30, 1997, to $550,000 for the three months ended
June 30, 1998 as a result of costs associated with CFKY's new ESOP. Also, other
expenses increased $51,000 for the period primarily due to expenses associated
with the operation of a public company.
Comparison of Operating Results for the Nine-Month Periods Ended
June 30, 1998 and 1997
- ----------------------------------------------------------------
General. Columbia Federal recorded net income of $444,000 for the nine
months ended June 30, 1998, compared to income of $505,000 for the same period
in 1997. The decrease resulted primarily from a $390,000 decrease in interest
and fees on loans, a $72,000 increase in provision for loan losses and a
$188,000 increase in non-interest expense. Such changes were offset by an
increase in interest income on mortgage-backed securities, investments and
interest-bearing deposits of $456,000, an $86,000 decrease in interest on
deposits and FHLB advances, a $15,000 increase in non-interest income, and a
$32,000 decrease in income tax expense.
Interest Income. Interest income increased $66,000 for the nine months
ended June 30, 1998 compared to the nine months ended June 30, 1997. This was a
result of an increase in average interest earning assets of $5.1 million from
$103.4 million for the nine months ended June 30, 1997 to $108.5 million for
the nine months ended June 30, 1998. This increase in interest-earning assets
was partially offset by a reduction in yield on earning assets of .28% to 7.52%
for the nine months ended June 30, 1998.
Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $86,000 for the nine months
ended June 30, 1998 compared to the nine months ended June 30, 1997. This
decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the cost of funds from 4.76% for
the nine months ended June 30, 1997 to 4.57% for the nine months ended June 30,
1998. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in average deposits of
$2.1 million from $93.0 million for the nine months ended June 30, 1997 to
$95.1 million for the nine months ended June 30, 1998.
Columbia Federal's net interest rate spread was 2.95% for the nine months
ended June 30, 1998, compared to 3.04% for the nine months ended June 30, 1997.
Allowance and Provision for Loan Losses. After review of its allowance
for loan losses, management decided to record a provision for loan losses of
$74,000 to return its allowance to $300,000. During the nine months ended June
30, 1998, Columbia Federal incurred losses on five loans held by two
individuals. The balances of these loans totaled $153,000. A writedown of
$74,000 was recorded when these loans were recorded as real estate owned. These
properties were sold during the nine months ended June 30, 1998.
Non-interest Income and Non-interest Expense. Non-interest income was
$81,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 1998, compared to $66,000 for the
same period in 1997, primarily due to an increase in fee income. Non-interest
expense increased $188,000, or 9.4%, to $2.2 million. The primary reasons for
this increase were an increase in salaries and employee benefits of $121,000,
an increase in occupancy expense of $21,000, an increase in other expenses of
$67,000 and an increase in advertising expense of $11,000. These increases were
primarily the result of cost associated with Columbia's new ESOP plan, the
relocation of the Florence office, which increased advertising, furniture,
telephone and stationary costs, and to cost associated with the operation of a
public company. This was partially offset by a $32,000 decrease in federal
deposit insurance premiums as a result of the recapitalization of the Savings
Association Insurance Fund.
Year 2000 Issues
- ----------------
As with all financial institutions, Columbia Federal's operations depend
almost entirely on computer systems. Columbia Federal is addressing the
potential problems associated with the possibility that the computers which
control or operate Columbia Federal's operating systems, facilities and
infrastructure may not be programmed to read four-digit date codes and, upon
arrival of year 2000, may recognize the two-digit code "00" as the year 1900,
causing systems to fail to function or generate erroneous data. Columbia
Federal is working with the companies that supply or service its
computer-operated or dependent systems to identify and remedy any year 2000
related problems.
CFKY does not expect to incur significant expense to implement corrective
measures. No assurance can be given, however, that significant expense will not
be incurred in future periods. In the event that Columbia Federal is ultimately
required to purchase replacement computer systems, programs and equipment, or
that substantial expense must be incurred to make Columbia Federal's current
systems, programs and equipment year 2000 compliant, Columbia Federal's net
income and financial condition could be adversely affected.
In addition to possible expense related to its own systems, Columbia
Federal could incur losses if loan payments are delayed due to year 2000
problems affecting any of Columbia Federal's significant borrowers or impairing
the payroll systems of large employers in Columbia Federal's primary market
area. Because Columbia Federal's loan portfolio is highly diversified with
regard to individual borrowers and types of businesses and Columbia Federal's
primary market area is not significantly dependent upon one employer or
industry, Columbia Federal does not expect any significant or prolonged
difficulties that will affect net earnings or cash flow.

333-42523) registering 2,671,450 common shares of CFKY, no par
value, to be sold for an aggregate price of $26.7 million. The
offering of such shares was completed on April 15, 1998, and all
2,671,450 shares were sold for an aggregate price of $26.7 million.
Charles Webb & Company, a Division of Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc.
("Webb"), acted as agent in the sale of the shares on a best
efforts basis. The total of $775,000 in expenses of the offering
consisted of $363,000 paid to Webb for its services and expenses
and $412,000 for other expenses. All of such expenses were direct
payments to persons other than directors, officers, associates of
directors or officers or of CFKY, or 10% beneficial owners of CFKY.
After deducting total expenses, the net proceeds of the offering
equaled $25.9 million, including a promissory note in the amount of
$2.1 received in exchange for shares issued to the CFKY ESOP. Of
such net proceeds, $12.7 million were used to purchase all of the
outstanding common stock of Columbia Federal. Of the proceeds not
used to purchase Columbia Federal stock, $11.1 million was
deposited into interest bearing accounts at Columbia Federal and
another local financial institution. All of such proceeds were paid
directly to persons other than directors, officers, associates of
directors or officers of CFKY or persons beneficially owning 10% or
more of the outstanding common shares of CFKY.
