See accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements. 5 NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION --------------------- Pioneer Financial Corporation (the "Company") was formed at the direction of Pioneer Federal Savings Bank (the "Bank") to become the holding company of the Bank. The reorganization was completed on December 24, 1994 under an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated October 31, 1994. Since the Reorganization, the Company's primary assets have been the outstanding capital stock of the Bank, and its sole business is that of the Bank. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements and discussions herein include both the Company and the Bank. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary for fair presentation have been included. The results of operations and other data for the three month periods ended December 31, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year ending September 30, 1997. 2. EARNINGS PER SHARE ------------------ Earnings per share for the three month periods ended December 31, 1996 amounted to $1.25 and $.86 per share, respectively, based on weighted average common stock shares outstanding. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the three month periods ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 was 208,233 and 272,477 shares respectively. 3. DIVIDENDS --------- The Company paid dividends of $0.35 per share or $72,882 for the three month period ended December 31, 1996 compared to $0.33 per share or $89,917 for the same period in 1995. 6 4. MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS ------------------------- In May 1995 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 122 "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights", which amended SFAS No. 65 "Accounting for Certain Mortgage Banking Activities". SFAS No. 122 requires a mortgage banking enterprise to recognize as separate assets the rights to service mortgage loans for others; however these servicing rights are acquired. SFAS No. 122 was effective for the Company and the Bank on October 1, 1996, and applies prospectively to mortgage banking transactions occurring after that date. The Company recognized mortgage servicing rights of $21,411 for the quarter ended December 31, 1996. The Bank sells certain residential loans, primarily fixed rate loans secured by single family residences in the secondary market. The fair value of the mortgage servicing rights were determined by quoted prices in the secondary market. The mortgage servicing rights on the loans sold in the secondary market are grouped by their primary risk characteristics, which is the interest rate. At December 31, 1996 there was no allowance for impairment recognized. ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FINANCIAL CONDITION The Company's consolidated assets increased $94,000, or .1% to $74.5 million, at December 31, 1996 compared to $74.4 million at September 30, 1996. Available- for-sale securities decreased by $340,000, held-to-maturity securities increased $3.3 million, loans decreased $1.1 million, cash and cash equivalents plus certificates of deposit decreased $1.7 million, and other non-interest earning assets decreased by $161,000. Available-for-sale securities decreased $340,000 due to receipt of principal repayments on mortgage backed securities and amortization of investment premium. Held-to-maturity securities increased $3.3 million due to the purchase of $5.0 million in agency discount notes offset by maturities of mortgage backed securities of $748,000 and $1.0 million in principal repayments received on mortgage backed securities and amortization of premiums. In accordance with SFAS No. 115, unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale securities are recorded net of deferred income tax as a separate component of stockholders' equity. At December 31, 1996, the Company included gross unrealized gains of $62,200, which net of the tax expense of $21,155, yield $41,065 as a separate component of stockholders' equity. Per SFAS No. 115, such gains or losses will not be reflected as a charge or credit to earnings until the underlying gain or loss, if any, is actually realized at the time of sale. Liabilities of the Company decreased $89,000 to $66.1 million at December 31, 1996 compared to $66.2 million at September 30, 1996. The decrease in liabilities was primarily due to the payment of an accrued expense for the special assessment by the FDIC to recapitalize the SAIF fund which was offset by a $390,000 increase in deposits. 7 Stockholders' equity increased by $203,000 to $8.4 million at December 31, 1996 compared to $8.2 million at September 30, 1996. The increase is due to net income of $261,000 offset by the payment of dividends totaling $72,000 and an increase in the net unrealized appreciation on available-for-sale securities of $15,000. The following summarizes the Bank's capital requirements and position at December 31, 1996 and September 30, 1996. DECEMBER 31, 1996 SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 ----------------- ------------------ (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS) AMOUNT PERCENT AMOUNT PERCENT ------ -------- ------ ------- Tangible capital $8,387 11.3% $8,143 10.9% Tangible capital requirement 1,117 1.5% 1,117 1.5% ------ -------- ------ ------- Excess $7,270 9.8% $7,026 9.4% ====== ======== ====== ======= Core capital $8,387 11.3% $8,143 10.9% Core capital requirement 2,235 3.0% 2,234 3.0% ------ -------- ------ ------- Excess $6,152 8.3% $5,909 7.9% ====== ======== ====== ======= Tangible capital $8,387 26.8% $8,143 26.1% General valuation allowance 375 1.2% 364 1.2% ------ -------- ------ ------- Total capital 8,762 28.0% 8,507 27.3% Risk-based capital requirement 2,504 8.0% 2,498 8.0% ------ -------- ------ ------- Excess $6,258 20.0% $6,009 19.3% ====== ======== ====== ======= RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND 1995 NET INCOME - ---------- Net income increased by $25,000 or 10.8% for the three months ended December 31, 1996 as compared to the same period in 1995. The net increase of $25,000 was due to an increases of $18,000 in non-interest income an increase of $10,000 in net interest income offset by an increase in non-interest expense of $3,000. INTEREST INCOME - --------------- Interest income decreased $47,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 1996 compared to the same period in 1995. Interest income was $1.4 million or 7.59% of average interest-earning assets for the quarter ended December 31, 1996 as compared to $1.4 million or 7.33% of interest-earning assets for the quarter ended December 31, 1995. The decrease in interest income of $47,000 was due to a decrease in the average balance of interest earning assets offset by the increase of 26 basis points on the average rate earned on interest earning assets for the quarter ended December 31, 1996 compared to the same period in 1995. 8 INTEREST EXPENSE - ---------------- Interest expense was $669,000 or 4.07% of average deposits and FHLB advances for the quarter ended December 31, 1996 as compared to $727,000 or 4.19% of average deposit and FHLB advances for the quarter ended December 31, 1995. The decrease of $58,000 was due primarily to the decrease in interest paid on deposits. The decrease in interest paid on deposits was due to a 12 basis point decrease in the average rate paid on deposits, and a $4 million decrease in the average balance of deposits during the quarter ended December 31, 1996 compared to the same period in 1995. PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES - ------------------------- There was no provision for loan losses for the quarters ended December 31, 1996 and 1995. Management considers many factors in determining the necessary level of the allowance for loan losses, including an analysis of specific loans in the portfolio, estimated value of the underlying collateral, assessment of general trends in the real estate market, delinquency trends, prospective economic and regulatory conditions, inherent loss in the loan portfolio, and the relationship of the allowance for loan losses to outstanding loans. There can be no assurance that management will not decide to increase the allowance for loan losses or that regulators, when reviewing the Bank's loan portfolio in the future, will not request the Bank to increase such allowance, either of which could adversely affect the Bank's earnings. Further, there can be no assurance that the Bank's actual loan losses will not exceed its allowance for loan losses. NON-INTEREST INCOME - ------------------- Non-interest income amounted to $121,000 and $103,000 for the quarters ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Non-interest income is primarily generated from fees on loans and fees received for servicing loans. For the quarter ending December 31, 1996 the Bank recognized $21,000 in loan servicing rights income pursuant to FASB No. 122 which was adopted October 1, 1996. NON-INTEREST EXPENSE - -------------------- Non-interest expense increased $3,000 to $429,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 1996 compared to $426,000 for the same period in 1995. Non-interest expense was 2.3% of average assets for the quarter ended December 31, 1996 and 2.1% of average assets for the quarter ended December 31, 1995. INCOME TAX EXPENSE - ------------------ The provision for income tax expense amounted to $123,000 and $122,000 for the quarters ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively, which as a percentage of income before income tax expense amounts to 32.0% for 1996 and 34.1% for 1995. 9 NON-PERFORMING ASSETS - --------------------- The following table sets forth information with respect to the Bank's non- performing assets at the dates indicated. No loans were recorded as restructured loans within the meaning of SFAS No. 15 at the dates indicated. DECEMBER 31, 1996 SEPTEMBER 30 1996 ------------------ ------------------ (amounts in thousands) Loans accounted for on a non-accrual basis:(1) Real Estate: Residential $ 3 $ 3 Commercial Consumer 12 15 ---- ---- Total $ 15 $ 18 ==== ==== Accruing loans which are contractually past due 90 days or more: Real Estate: Residential 0 205 Commercial Consumer 48 ---- ---- Total 48 205 ==== ==== Total of loans accounted for as non-accrual or as accruing past due 90 days or more $ 63 $223 ==== ==== Percentage of total loans .18% .63% ==== ==== Other non-performing assets (2) $ $ ==== ==== (1) Non-accrual status denotes loans which management believes may have defined weaknesses whereby accrued interest is inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor, or of the collateral pledged. (2) Loans more than 90 days past due will continue to accrue interest when there is no well defined weakness in the loan regarding net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged which would cause management to believe that interest accrued will be uncollectible. If income on non-accrual loans had been accrued, such income would have amounted to approximately $4,249 for the three month period ended December 31, 1996. At December 31, 1996, there were no loans identified by management which were not reflected in the preceeding table but as to which known information about possible credit problems of borrowers caused management to have serious doubts as to the ability of the borrowers to comply with present loan repayment terms. 10 MORTGAGE BANKING ACTIVITY - ------------------------- Mortgage loans of $2.1 million were originated for sale during the three month period ended December 31, 1996; the Bank retained the servicing for all loans sold. The portfolio of loans owned by others but serviced by the Bank increased .2% to $50.4 million at December 31, 1996 compared to $50.3 million at September 30, 1996. All of the loans serviced by the Bank, but owned by others, were originated by the Bank. LIQUIDITY AND COMMITTED RESOURCES - --------------------------------- As of December 31, 1996, the liquidity ratio under applicable federal regulations was 21.85% as compared to 24.81% at September 30, 1996. Principal sources of funds during the three months ended December 31, 1996 included loan principal repayments, principal repayments on mortgage backed securities, proceeds from matured and called securities and proceeds from the sale of loans. As of December 31, 1996 loans approved but not closed amounted to $2.7 million. Of these, none were evidenced by written commitments. The Bank anticipated selling $1.3 million of the loans approved but not closed. As of December 31, 1996, there were commitments to sell loans which had been closed totaling $79,000. IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES - --------------------------------------- The consolidated financial statements and notes thereto presented herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering the change in the relative purchasing power of money over time and due to inflation. The impact of inflation is reflected in the increased cost of the Company's operations. Unlike most industrial companies, nearly all the assets and liabilities of the Company are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a greater impact on the Company's performance than do the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the price of goods and services. 11 PART II. OTHER INFORMATION ----------------- Item 1.
