BASIS OF PRESENTATION: The unaudited consolidated financial information for the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 includes the results of operations of HFB Financial Corporation (the "Corporation") and its wholly owned subsidiary Home Federal Bank, Federal Savings Bank ("Home Federal" or the "Bank"). HFB Financial Corporation acquired 100 percent of the Bank's stock during the completion of the Bank's conversion from mutual to stock form on December 28, 1992. The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial statements and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. It is suggested that these statements and notes be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Bank's annual report for the year ended June 30, 1996 on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, the financial information reflects all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for such periods but should not be considered as indicative of results for a full year. 2. NONPERFORMING LOANS AND PROBLEM ASSETS Management reviews the Bank's loans on a regular basis. After residential mortgage loans become past due more that 90 days, the Bank generally establishes an allowance for uncollectible interest for the amount by which the principal balance and uncollected interest exceeds 90% of the appraised value of the property. Commercial and multi-family real estate loans generally are placed on non-accrual status if the borrower is placed in bankruptcy proceedings, or management concludes that payment in full is not likely. Consumer and commercial loans generally are charged off, or an allowance is established for any expected loss after they become more than 90 days past due. The Bank accrues interest on delinquent loans past due more than 90 days without establishing a reserve when management concludes such action is warranted, such as in the event the loan is exceptionally well collateralized or the borrower establishes the temporary nature of the delinquency. Loans are charged off when management concludes that they are uncollectible. The Bank's collection procedures provide that when a loan becomes past due 30 days, the borrower is contacted in person or by telephone or mail, and payment is requested. If payment is not promptly received, the borrower is contacted again, and efforts are made to formulate an affirmative plan to cure the delinquency. After a loan becomes past due 90 days the Bank generally initiates legal proceedings. Loans delinquent 90 days or greater and still accruing are managed based on a work out plan developed by the Bank. Interest accrues based on the work out plan and the value of the collateral when collateral value is more than sufficient to fully cover the loan balance. Interest is not accrued on loans in the process of foreclosure. Real estate acquired by the Bank as a result of foreclosure is classified as real estate owned until such time as it is sold. When such property is acquired, it is recorded at the lower of the unpaid principal balance or its fair value less estimated selling cost. Any required write-down of the loan to its fair market value upon foreclosure is charged against the allowance for loan losses. 8 The following sets forth information with respect to the Bank's non-performing assets at March 31, 1997 and June 30, 1996: (Dollars in thousands) March 31, June 30, 1997 1996 ---------- --------- Loans accounted for on a nonaccrual basis (1) $ - $ - ----- ----- Accruing loans which are contractually past due 90 days or more: (1) Real estate $ 434 $ 657 Consumer 25 3 Commercial - - ----- ----- $ 459 $ 660 ----- ----- Total of nonaccrual and 90 days or more past due loans $ 459 $ 660 Real estate owned 216 - ----- ----- Total non-performing assets $ 675 $ 660 ===== ===== Nonaccrual and 90 days or more past due loans as a percentage of total loans, net .45% .69% ===== ===== Nonaccrual and 90 days or more past due loans as a percentage of total assets .30% .45% ===== ===== Non-performing assets as a percentage of total assets .43% .45% ===== ===== (1) Interest on delinquent loans is accrued to income to the extent considered collectible. Nonaccrual loans did not have a material effect on the Bank's interest income for the periods ended March 31, 1997 and June 30, 1996. The Bank has a potential problem commercial real estate loan at March 31, 1997. The carrying amount of the loan is approximately $1.4 million, including a $131,000 working capital loan funded in January 1997. The property is not generating sufficient cash flow to fund debt service payments. The borrower has obtained funds from another source to make the most recent payments on this indebtedness. Management is currently evaluating the collectability of this loan and assessing the possibility of any losses the Bank could incur. 9 The following sets forth the activity in the Bank's allowance for loan losses for the nine months ended March 31, 1997: (Dollars in thousands) Balance at June 30, 1996 $671 Charge offs: Domestic: Commercial, financial and agricultural 68 Real estate-construction 0 Real estate-mortgage 0 Installment loans to individuals 2 ---- 70 ---- Recoveries: Domestic: Commercial, financial and agricultural - Real estate-construction - Real estate-mortgage 2 Installment loans to individuals - ---- 2 ---- Net charge offs (Recoveries): 68 Additions charged to operations 92 ---- Balance March 31, 1997 $695 ==== Ratio of net charge offs during the period to average loans outstanding during the period .07% ==== 10 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS GENERAL: HFB Financial Corporation, a Tennessee Corporation, was formed in September 1992 at the direction of Home Federal Bank, Federal Savings Bank for the purpose of becoming a holding company for the Bank as part of its conversion from mutual to stock form ("the "Conversion"). Prior to the Conversion, the Corporation did not engage in any material operations and at March 31, 1997, its primary operation was its investment in the common stock of the Bank. The Bank is principally engaged in the business of accepting deposits from the general public and originating permanent loans which are secured by one-to- four family residential properties located in its market area. The Bank also originates consumer loans and commercial real estate loans, and maintains a substantial investment portfolio of mortgage-backed and other investment securities. The operations of Home Federal, and savings institutions generally, are significantly influenced by general economic conditions and the monetary and fiscal policies of government regulatory agencies. Deposit flows and costs of funds are influenced by interest rates on competing investments and prevailing market rates of interest. Lending activities are affected by the demand for financing real estate and other types of loans, which in turn are influenced by the interest rates at which such financing may be offered and other factors related to loan demand and the availability of funds. Just as the Bank's operations are influenced by regulatory authorities, so are its liquidity levels and capital resources. As of March 31, 1997, management is not aware of any current recommendations by the regulatory authorities, which if implemented, would have a material effect on the Bank's operations, liquidity or resources. ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT Key components of a successful asset/liability strategy are the monitoring and managing of interest rate sensitivity of both the interest-earning asset and interest-bearing liability portfolios. Home Federal has employed various strategies intended to minimize the adverse affect of interest rate risk on future operations by providing a better match between the interest rate sensitivity of its assets and liabilities. In particular, the Bank's strategies are intended to stabilize net interest income for the long-term by protecting its interest rate spread against increases in interest rates. Such strategies include the origination of adjustable-rate mortgage loans secured by one-to-four family residential real estate and the origination of consumer and other loans with greater interest rate sensitivities than long-term, fixed-rate residential mortgage loans. Although customers typically prefer fixed-rate mortgage loans in a low interest rate environment, Home Federal has been successful in originating adjustable-rate loans in recent years. In addition, the Bank has used excess funds to invest in various short-term investments including mortgage-backed securities with terms of seven years or less, U.S. Government Treasury and Agency securities with terms of ten years or less and other short- term investments. Asset/liability management in the form of structuring cash instruments provides greater flexibility to adjust exposure to interest rates. During periods of high interest rates, management believes it is prudent to offer competitive rates on short-term deposits and less competitive rates for long- term liabilities. This posture allows the Bank to benefit quickly from declines in interest rates. Likewise, offering more competitive rates on long-term deposits during the low interest rate periods allows the Bank to extend the repricing and/or maturity of its liabilities thus reducing its exposure to rising interest rates. FINANCIAL CONDITION The Corporation's assets increased by 6.31% to $155.4 million at March 31, 1997 compared to $146.2 million at June 30, 1996. The majority of this increase is reflected in investment securities and loans receivable, which was primarily funded by an increase in deposits. 11 Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $1.1 million to $3.6 million at March 31, 1997 from $4.7 million at June 30, 1996. This decrease was primarily the result of increased levels of loans and investments net of short borrowing during the quarter ended March 31, 1997. The Bank's asset composition continues to change due to volatility in interest rates and a strong loan demand. In the current interest rate environment, a substantial portion of loans originated were adjustable-rate residential mortgages. During the nine months ended March 31, 1997, the Bank originated $24.0 million in mortgages. Total loans receivable, net increased 5.58% to $101.3 million at March 31, 1997 compared to $96.0 million at June 30, 1996. The Bank augments its lending activities and increases its asset yields by investing in mortgage-backed securities "MBSs " and U.S. Government securities. During the nine months ended March 31, 1997, management purchased $11.0 million in investment securities and MBSs. These purchases were funded by $6.6 in proceeds from called and maturing investment securities, principal collected on MBSs and investments, and the sale of investment securities. The balance was primarily funded by increased deposits and borrowings. At March 31, 1997, investment securities, AFS and MBSs, AFS were $24.6 million with a net unrealized loss of $243,000. At March 31, 1997, the balance in real estate owned was $216,000, compared to $0 at June 30, 1996. The $216,000 balance represents an interest in a commercial building in Nicholasville, Kentucky, which was obtained through foreclosure during the quarter ended December 31, 1996. Management sold the Bank's interest in the property in April 1997, incurring no significant loss. Accrued interest receivable increased by $195,000 from $955,000 at June 30, 1996 to $1.150 million at March 31, 1997 due to a higher volume of interest- earning assets and the timing of interest payments. Premises and equipment decreased by $150,000 to $2.22 million at March 31, 1997 from $2.37 million at June 30, 1996 primarily due to depreciation. Total deposits increased by $7.3 million to $134.0 million at March 31, 1997 from $126.7 million at June 30, 1996. During the nine months ended March 31, 1997, CDs increased $6.8 million and NOW accounts increased $1.5 million, while passbook savings and money market deposit accounts decreased by $960,000. Accrued interest on deposits increased by $549,000 to $1.083 million at March 31, 1997 from $534,000 at June 30, 1996. The increase was due to increased volume and the timing of interest payments.
