Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes contained in Redwood Empire Bancorp's 1995 Annual Report to shareholders. The statements include the accounts of Redwood Empire Bancorp and its wholly owned subsidiaries, National Bank of the Redwoods ("NBR") and Allied Bank, F.S.B. ("Allied"). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The financial information contained in this report reflects all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1996. Certain reclassifications were made to prior period financial statements to conform to current period presentations. For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks and federal funds sold. Federal funds sold are generally for one day periods. 2. Net Income per Share Net income per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding and common stock equivalents outstanding during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995. 3. New Accounting Pronouncement On January 1, 1996, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." This statement requires expanded disclosures with respect to stock-based compensation such as stock options. It also encourages, but does not require, recognition of compensation expense related to the fair value of such stock-based compensation. The Company has decided not to record compensation expense for its stock-based compensation which currently consists only of stock options. 7 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. Redwood Empire Bancorp ("Redwood," and with its subsidiaries, the "Company") is a financial institutions holding company headquartered in Santa Rosa, California. Redwood has two principal subsidiaries, Allied Bank, F.S.B., a federal savings bank ("Allied"), and National Bank of the Redwoods, a national bank ("NBR"). The following sections discuss significant changes and trends in financial condition, capital resources and liquidity of the Company from December 31, 1995 to June 30, 1996, and significant changes and trends in the Company's results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996, compared to the same periods in 1995. In an effort to increase shareholder value the Board of Directors is currently evaluating strategic options relating to Allied. These options include a merger of Allied into NBR or a sale or partial sale of Allied. No final determination has been made by the Board of Directors regarding the status of Allied stemming from this evaluation process. SUMMARY OF FINANCIAL RESULTS The Company reported net income of $38,000 (a loss of $.03 per share, fully diluted) for the three months ended June 30, 1996, compared to $762,000 ($.24 per share, fully diluted) for the same period in 1995. The decrease in net income in the second quarter of 1996 over the same period in 1995 is primarily due to a $1,200,000 merchant bankcard reserve recorded in response to the bankruptcy of one customer for whom the Company processes credit card transactions and an increase in the provision for loan losses of $945,000 being driven by an increased level of charge-offs and a higher level of nonperforming assets. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 1996 was $924,000 ($.26 per share, fully diluted) compared to $1,673,000 ($.52 per share, fully diluted) for the same period in 1995. NET INTEREST INCOME Net interest income increased $1,390,000 for the second quarter of 1996 compared to the second quarter of 1995. The increase is primarily due to decreased funding costs, especially other borrowings and time deposits and increased margins on mortgage loans held for sale, partially offset by lower interest income related to decreased volumes of portfolio loans. The net interest margin increased to 4.83% for the second quarter of 1996 from 3.52% a year ago primarily due to increased yields on earning assets, especially loans and mortgage loans held for sale. Net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 1996 increased $2,277,000 over that reported for the same period in 1995. The net interest margin for the six months ended June 30, 1996 was 4.58% compared to 3.31% for the same period in 1995. 8 The following is an analysis of the net interest margin: Three months ended Three months ended June 30, 1996 June 30, 1995 Average % Average % (dollars in thousands) Balance Interest Yield Balance Interest Yield -------------------------------- ----------------------------- Earning assets (1) $503,909 $11,839 9.40 $533,143 $11,666 8.75 Interest-bearing liabilities 441,398 5,757 5.22 489,362 6,974 5.70 --------- ---------- Net interest income $6,082 $4,692 --------- ---------- Net interest income to earning assets 4.83 3.52 Six months ended Six months ended June 30, 1996 June 30, 1995 ------------------------------- ----------------------------- Average % Average % (dollars in thousands) Balance Interest Yield Balance Interest Yield -------------------------------- ----------------------------- Earning assets (1) $506,281 $23,332 9.22 $562,940 $23,740 8.43 Interest-bearing liabilities 442,044 11,751 5.32 517,790 14,436 5.58 ---------- ---------- Net interest income $11,581 $9,304 ---------- ---------- Net interest income to earning assets 4.57 3.31 (1)Nonaccrual loans are included in the calculation of the average balance of earning assets, and interest not accrued is excluded. The following table sets forth changes in interest income and interest expense for each major category of interest-earning asset and interest-bearing liability, and the amount of change attributable to volume and rate changes for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995. Changes not solely attributable to rate or volume have been allocated to rate. 9 June 30, 1996 over June 30, 1995 ----------------------------- Volume Rate Total ----------------------------- (in thousands) Increase (decrease) in interest income: Portfolio loans $ (2,767) $ 618 $(2,149) Mortgage loans held for sale (115) 1,536 1,421 Investment securities 264 212 476 Interest-earning deposits with other institutions 45 1 46 Federal funds sold (170) (32) (202) ----------------------------- Total increase (decrease) (2,743) 2,335 (408) ----------------------------- Increase (decrease) in interest expense: Interest-bearing transaction accounts 576 256 832 Time deposits (2,019) (6) (2,025) Other borrowings (1,379) (113) (1,492) ----------------------------- Total increase (decrease) (2,822) 137 (2,685) ----------------------------- Increase in net interest income $79 $2,198 $2,277 ----------------------------- ----------------------------- MORTGAGE LOANS HELD FOR SALE Mortgage loans held for sale increased $14,146,000 or 23% to $79,766,000 at June 30, 1996 compared to $62,620,000 at December 31, 1995. The increase was primarily due to a $50,000,000 transfer of loans from the portfolio to held for sale as of March 31, 1996, $34 million of which were sold at June 30, 1996. This transaction was made to accommodate an asset reduction strategy at Allied Bank which is intended to increase the capital ratios of Allied and the Company. The fair value of loans transferred exceeded their carrying value. Total mortgage loan origination volume in the second quarter of 1996 was $462 million compared to $167 million in 1995. LOANS Total loans decreased $30,087,000 or 8% to $338,137,000 at June 30, 1996 compared to $368,224,000 at December 31, 1995. Residential real estate mortgage loans decreased $46,994,000 or 28% to $121,028,000 due to a transfer of loans to mortgage loans held for sale as part of an asset reduction strategy. The Company anticipates that there will be no future transfers of loans to the held for sale category to execute an asset reduction strategy. 10 The following table summarizes the composition of the loan portfolio at June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995. June 30, 1996 December 31, 1995 -------------------------- --------------------------- (dollars in thousands) Amount % Amount % -------------------------- ---------------------------- Residential real estate mortgage $121,028 36% $168,022 46% Commercial real estate mortgage 74,870 22 65,655 18 Commercial 64,501 19 63,975 17 Real estate construction 77,151 23 69,504 19 Installment and other 3,496 1 4,103 1 Less deferred fees (2,909) (1) (3,035) (1) -------------------------- ---------------------------- Total loans 338,137 100% 368,224 100% Less allowance for loan losses ------------- ------------- (7,034) ------------- (5,037) ------------- ------------- ------------- Net loans $331,103 $363,187 ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES The allowance for loan losses is established through charges to earnings in the form of the provision for loan losses. Loan losses are charged to, and recoveries are credited to, the allowance for loan losses. The provision for loan losses is determined after considering various factors such as loan loss experience, current economic conditions, maturity of the portfolio, size of the portfolio, industry concentrations, borrower credit history, the existing allowance for loan losses, independent loan reviews, current charges and recoveries to the allowance for loan losses, and the overall quality of the portfolio, as determined by management, regulatory agencies, and independent credit review consultants retained by the Company. The adequacy of the Company's allowance for loan losses is based on specific and formula allocations to the Company's loan portfolio. Specific allocations of the allowance for loan losses are made to identified problem or potential problem loans. The specific allocations are increased or decreased through management's reevaluation of the status of the particular problem loans. Loans which do not receive a specific allocation receive an allowance allocation based on a formula, represented by a percentage factor based on underlying collateral, type of loan, historical charge-offs, general economic conditions and other qualitative factors. 11 The following table summarizes the Company's allowance for loan losses: Three months ended Six months ended June 30 June 30 ---------------------- ------------------------ (dollars in thousands) 1996 1995 1996 1995 ---------------------- ------------------------ Beginning allowance for loan losses $6,380 $5,962 $5,037 $5,787 Provision for loan losses 1,315 370 2,830 670 Charge-offs (703) (381) (902) (531) Recoveries 42 27 69 52 ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- Ending allowance for loan losses $7,034 $5,978 $7,034 $5,978 ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- ----------- Net charge-offs to average loans (annualized) .81% .36% .47% .24% The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of portfolio loans increased from at 1.37% at December 31, 1995 to 2.08% at June 30, 1996. The increase in the provision for loan losses of $2,160,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996 over the same period in 1995 is primarily due to a lease portfolio of $1,412,000 purchased from a company currently in bankruptcy proceedings who retained the servicing of such portfolio. The increase in the provision for loan losses in the second quarter of 1996 when compared to the same period one year ago was driven by an increase in net charge-offs of $661,000 in the second quarter of 1996 as compared to $354,000 in the second quarter of 1995 and higher levels of nonperforming assets which include the aforementioned leases. Currently, no information has been made available or communicated to the Company by the Bankruptcy Court concerning NBR's security in such purchased equipment leases, although all cash receipts have been frozen by the bankruptcy trustee until a formal accounting of all assets and liabilities can be completed. Consistent with Company policy, these leases have been classified as nonperforming and placed on nonaccrual status. Management expects further information to become available in the third or fourth quarter of 1996 with regards to specific borrower information and collateral values. Management also believes certain legal remedies may exist and is currently evaluating its options under the terms of the lease agreements. 12 NONPERFORMING ASSETS The following table summarizes the Company's nonperforming assets. June 30, December, 31 (dollars in thousands) 1996 1995 -------- -------- Nonaccrual loans $7,074 $4,201 Accruing loans past due 90 days or more 121 92 Restructured loans 256 651 -------- -------- Total nonperforming loans 7,451 4,944 Other real estate owned 1,517 963 Other assets owned 1,159 1,249 -------- -------- Total nonperforming assets $10,127 $7,156 -------- -------- -------- -------- Nonperforming assets to total assets 1.94% 1.28% Although the volume of nonperforming assets will depend in part on the future economic environment, there are also loans totaling $2,834,000 about which management has serious doubts as to the ability of the borrowers to comply with the present repayment terms and which may become nonperforming assets based on the information presently known about possible credit problems of the borrower. Nonperforming loans consist of loans to 360 borrowers, 20 of which have balances in excess of $100,000. The two largest have recorded balances of $815,000 secured by general business assets and $780,000 secured by residential real estate. Approximately 310 of the nonperforming loans are related to a purchased portfolio of leases from a servicer who is now in bankruptcy proceedings. Based on information currently available, management believes that adequate reserves are included in the allowance for loan losses to cover any loss exposure that may result from these loans. Other real estate owned consists of ten properties. Eight properties are residential and two are commercial buildings. Other assets owned included contract receivable rights and repossessed personal property valued at $1,159,000. At June 30, 1996 the Company's total recorded investment in impaired loans (as defined by SFAS 114 and 118) was $8,442,000 of which $3,964,000 relates to the recorded investment for which there is a related allowance for loan losses of $1,499,000 determined in accordance with these statements and $4,478,000 relates to the amount of that recorded investment for which there is no related allowance for loan losses determined in accordance with these standards. 13 The average recorded investment in the impaired loans during the six months ended June 30, 1996 and June 30, 1995 was $7,852,000 and $6,754,000; the related amount of interest income recognized during the periods that such loans were impaired was $21,000 and $96,000 for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1996 and $76,000 and $215,000 for the same periods in 1995. No interest income was recognized using a cash-basis method of accounting during the period that the loans were impaired. OTHER OPERATING INCOME AND EXPENSE AND INCOME TAXES Other Operating Income The following table sets forth the components of the Company's other operating income for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996, as compared to the same periods in 1995. Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30 % June 30 % -------------------- ------------------ (dollars in thousands) 1996 1995 Change 1996 1995 Change ---------- --------------------- ---------- ------------------- Service charges on deposit accounts 306 267 15 606 553 10 Merchant draft processing, net 519 300 73 1,007 616 63 Loan servicing income 505 464 9 885 855 4 Gain (loss) on securities (8) 85 (109) (8) 85 (109) Gain on sale of loans and servicing 2,545 2,488 2 6,081 5,444 12 Other income 544 517 5 1,425 1,001 42 -------- -------- --------- ------- Total other operating income $4,411 $4,121 7 $9,996 $8,554 17 -------- -------- --------- ------- -------- -------- --------- ------- Other operating income increased $290,000 or 7% to $4,411,000 for the second quarter of 1996 compared to $4,121,000 for the same period in 1995, due primarily to merchant draft processing. Other operating income increased $1,432,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996 compared to the same period in 1995. This increase was primarily due to merchant draft processing and gains on sale of loans. Mortgage banking originations increased from $167 million for the second quarter of 1995 to $462 million for the second quarter of 1996. The increase in gain on sale of loans in 1996 compared to 1995 is lower than would be expected based on loan origination volumes, due to reversals of a $5,534,000 valuation allowance recorded at December 31, 1994 on the Company's mortgage loans held for sale. Of this amount, $1,500,000 was reversed in the first quarter of 1995 due to favorable market conditions for such loans and the remainder was reversed in the second quarter of 1995 in connection with a sale of such loans. 14 Other Operating Expense Other operating expense increased to $9,067,000 during the second quarter of 1996 compared to $7,077,000 for the second quarter of 1995. Other operating expense increased $2,884,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996 compared to the same period in 1995. The increases are primarily due to increased salaries and benefits expense caused by increased loan volumes at Allied and the recording of a merchant bankcard reserve of $1,200,000 in the second quarter of 1996 related to the bankruptcy of one customer. The following table sets forth the components of the Company's other operating expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 1996, as compared to the same periods in 1995. Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30 % June 30 % -------------------- ------------------ (dollars in thousands) 1996 1995 Change 1996 1995 Change ---------- --------------------- ---------- ------------------- Salaries and employee benefits $4,123 $3,546 16 $8,610 $7,069 22 Occupancy and equipment expense 1,357 1,152 18 2,719 2,204 23 Other 3,587 2,771 29 5,829 5,393 8 -------- -------- -------- -------- Total other operating expense $9,067 $7,077 28 $17,158 $14,274 20 -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- -------- NBR and Allied maintain insurance on their customer deposits with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"). The FDIC manages the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF"), which insures deposits of commercial banks such as NBR, and the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF"), which insures deposits of savings associations such as Allied. FDICIA mandated that the two funds maintain reserves at 1.25% of their respective federally insured deposits. During 1995, the FDIC announced that the BIF had reached its mandated reserve level, reducing insurance premiums on BIF-insured deposits, and subsequently announcing that deposit insurance premiums on BIF-insured deposits would be reduced at December 31, 1995. The SAIF fund has not yet net its mandated reserve level. As a result, deposit insurance premiums attributable to BIF deposits are less than those attributable to SAIF deposits. There are numerous regulatory proposals before Congress to address the deposit insurance premium differential between BIF- and SAIF-insured deposits. The most recent plans consist of one-time insurance premium charges attributable to SAIF-insured deposits sufficient to bring the SAIF up to its mandated reserve level, with a corresponding and immediate reduction in SAIF premiums thereafter. Based on 87 basis points on Allied's deposits at March 31, 1995, the resulting after-tax charge to the Company would be approximately $1,670,000. As both the timing and final form of any proposed regulations remain uncertain, no adjustments to the Company's financial statements have been recorded. 15 Income Taxes The Company's effective tax rate varies with changes in the relative amounts of its non-taxable income and nondeductible expenses. The effective rate was 41.9% for the six months ended June 30, 1996, compared to 42.6% for the same period in 1995. LIQUIDITY Liquidity management is monitored by Redwood, as well as by Allied and NBR. Redwood's operations generate debt service costs and administrative costs associated with regulatory reporting and overall planning, which may include acquisition or merger costs. Aside from accessing the capital markets, Redwood's primary source of liquidity is dividends from its financial institution subsidiaries. It is Redwood's general policy to retain excess capital at its subsidiaries, maintaining Redwood's available capital at a level which Redwood's management believes to be consistent with the safety and soundness of the Company as a whole. As of June 30, 1996, Redwood held $1,497,000 in interest-bearing deposits at its subsidiaries and a $3,000,000 subordinated note issued by NBR. Beginning with the fourth quarter of 1992, Redwood has paid a quarterly dividend of $.03 per share of Common Stock. In the fourth quarter of 1993, this dividend was increased to $0.035 per share. This dividend was suspended in the fourth quarter of 1994. In addition, Redwood pays quarterly dividends of 7.8% on its preferred stock of $5,750,000 and interest at 8.5% on $12,000,000 of subordinated debentures issued in 1993. Payment of these obligations is dependent on dividends from NBR and Allied. Federal regulatory agencies have the authority to prohibit the payment of dividends by NBR and Allied to Redwood if a finding is made that such payment would constitute an unsafe or unsound practice, or if NBR or Allied became undercapitalized. If NBR or Allied are restricted from paying dividends, Redwood could be unable to pay the above obligations. No assurance can be given as to the ability of Redwood's subsidiaries to pay dividends to Redwood. In the fourth quarter of 1994, Redwood received a dividend of $200,000 from NBR and $400,000 from Allied. During 1995, NBR and Allied declared dividends of $860,000 and $227,000 respectively. During 1996, NBR and Allied declared dividends of $215,000 and $1,227,000 respectively. Subsequent to June 30, 1996 Allied declared an additional dividend of $1,000,000. Management believes that at June 30, 1996, the Company's liquidity position was adequate for the operations of Redwood and its subsidiaries for the foreseeable future. CAPITAL RESOURCES A strong capital base is essential to the Company's continued ability to service the needs of its customers. Capital protects depositors and the deposit insurance fund from potential losses and is a source of funds for the substantial investments necessary for the Company to remain competitive. In addition, adequate capital and earnings enable the Company to gain access to the capital markets to supplement its internal growth of capital. Capital is generated internally primarily through earnings retention. 16 The Company and each of its subsidiaries are required to maintain minimum capital ratios defined by various federal government regulatory agencies. The FRB, the OCC and the OTS have each established capital guidelines, which include minimum capital requirements. The regulations impose three sets of standards: a "risk-based", "leverage" and "tangible" capital standard. Under the risk-based capital standard, assets reported on an institution's balance sheet and certain off-balance sheet items are assigned to risk categories, each of which is assigned a risk weight. This standard characterizes an institution's capital as being "Tier 1" capital (defined as principally comprising shareholders' equity and noncumulative preferred stock) and "Tier 2" capital (defined as principally comprising the allowance for loan losses and subordinated debt). Under the leverage capital standard, an institution must maintain a specified minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to total assets, with the minimum ratio ranging from 4% to 6%. The core capital ratio for Allied is based on period end assets while the leverage ratio for the Company and NBR is based on average assets for the quarter. Allied is subject to a minimum tangible capital ratio of 1.5% of adjusted total assets. It is anticipated that Allied will be subject to an OTS regulation issued in August, 1993 that added an interest rate risk component to the risk-based capital requirements of thrifts. The original effective date was to be December 31, 1993 and the regulation has been postponed several times. The effective date has now been postponed indefinitely until the OTS evaluates the effectiveness of its appeals process. Under the proposed regulation, those thrifts that have an above normal interest rate risk exposure must take a deduction from the total capital available to meet their risk-based capital requirement. This deduction will be equal to one-half of the difference between the thrift's actual measured exposure and the normal level of exposure. The actual deduction taken at any quarter end is equal to the lowest amount calculated for the three quarters prior to the reporting date. A thrift's actual measured interest risk is expressed as the change that occurs in its net portfolio value ("NPV") as a result of an immediate 200 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates (whichever results in the lower NPV) divided by the estimated economic value of its assets, as calculated in accordance with OTS instructions. An above normal decline in NPV is one that exceeds 2% of the estimated economic value of its assets. Under this regulation, Allied currently would not be required to take a deduction from capital. The following table summarizes the consolidated capital ratios and the capital ratios of the principal subsidiaries at December 31, 1995 and June 30, 1996. 17 Actual Required Amount Amount Excess Actual % ------------------------------------------------------- (dollars in thousands) At June 30, 1996: COMPANY Leverage (to Average Assets) $30,888 $21,419 $9,469 5.77% Tier 1 Capital (to Risk-weighted Assets) 28,257 14,453 13,804 7.82 Total Capital (to Risk-weighted Assets) 44,772 28,906 15,866 12.39 NBR Leverage Capital (to Average Assets) 16,842 9,594 7,248 7.02 Tier 1 Capital (to Risk-weighted Assets) 16,842 7,550 9,292 8.92 Total Capital (to Risk-weighted Assets) 22,222 15,100 7,121 11.72 ALLIED Core Capital (to Total Assets) 20,388 11,134 9,254 7.32 Tier 1 Capital (to Risk-weighted Assets) 17,757 6,746 11,011 10.53 Total Capital (to Risk-weighted Assets) 19,874 13,493 6,381 11.78 Tangible Capital (to Total Assets) 20,388 4,175 16,213 7.32 At December 31, 1995: COMPANY Tier 1 Capital (to Average Assets) 29,723 23,134 6,589 5.14 Tier 1 Capital (to Risk-weighted Assets) 27,123 14,991 12,132 7.24 Total Capital (to Risk-weighted Assets) 43,780 29,981 13,799 11.68 NBR Tier 1 Capital (to Average Assets) 17,283 9,258 8,025 7.47 Tier 1 Capital (to Risk-weighted Assets) 17,283 7,349 9,934 9.41 Total Capital (to Risk-weighted Assets) 22,395 14,698 7,697 12.19 ALLIED Core Capital (to Total Assets) 19,955 12,752 7,203 6.26 Tier 1 Capital (to Risk-weighted Assets) 17,355 7,528 9,827 9.22 Total Capital (to Risk-weighted Assets) 19,713 15,056 4,657 10.47 Tangible Capital (to Total Assets) 19,955 4,782 15,173 6.26 18 PART II. - OTHER INFORMATION Item 4.
