NOTE 4 - CURRENT ACCOUNTING ISSUES
SOP 93-6 In conjunction with the stock conversion, the Company
--------
established an Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP") for eligible employees.
The ESOP Trust borrowed funds in the amount of $972,080 from the Company to
purchase 97,215 shares of common stock issued in the conversion.
As of October 1, 1994, the Company adopted American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants Statement of Position 93-6 ("SOP 93-6") Employers Accounting
For Employees Stock Ownership Plans. SOP 93-6 requires that the employer record
compensation expense in an amount equal to the fair value of shares committed to
be released to employees from the ESOP. Assuming shares of common stock
appreciate in value over time, the adoption of SOP 93-6 will increase
compensation expense. Additionally, SOP 93-6 changed the earnings per share
computation for Company's with leveraged ESOPs to include as outstanding only
shares that have been allocated to participants.
SFAS No. 107 In December 1991, the Financial Accounting Standards
------------
Board issued SFAS No. 107, Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial
Instruments. SFAS No. 107 requires all entities to disclose, in financial
statements or notes thereto, the fair value of financial instruments, both
assets and liabilities recognized and not recognized in the statement of
financial condition, for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. SFAS
No. 107 is effective for financial statements of institutions with assets
greater than $150 million issued for years ending after December 15, 1992, and
for financial statements issued for years ending after December 15, 1995, for
institutions with assets of less than $150 million. Substantially all of the
assets of the Company are financial instruments and will be required to be
disclosed. The Company adopted the statement for the fiscal year beginning
October 1, 1995.
SFAS No. 119 SFAS No. 119, Disclosure About Derivative Financial
------------
Instruments and Fair Value of Financial Instruments, requires disclosures about
the amount, nature, and terms of derivative financial instruments such as
futures, forward, swap and option contracts, and other financial instruments
with similar characteristics that are not subject to SFAS No. 105 because they
do not result in off-balance sheet risk of accounting loss. The effective date
of the pronouncement is for fiscal years ending after December 15, 1994, except
for entities with less than $150 million in total assets. For those entities,
the Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years
ending after December 15, 1995. The Company plans to adopt this Statement for
the fiscal year ending September 30, 1996. It is not expected to have a material
effect on the financial statements of the Company.
Page 11 of 23
NOTE 4 - Continued
SFAS No. 121 In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
------------
issued SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for
Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of. SFAS No. 121 applies to all entities and to
long-lived assets, certain identifiable intangibles and goodwill related to
those assets to be held and used and to long-lived assets and certain
identifiable intangibles to be disposed of. SFAS No. 121 does not apply to
financial instruments, long-term customer relationships of a financial
institution, mortgage and other servicing tights, deferred acquisition costs, or
deferred tax assets. Under the provisions of SFAS No. 121, an entity shall
review long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles for impairment
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of
an asset may not be recoverable. SFAS No. 121 applies to financial statements
issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995, with earlier
application encouraged. The Company adopted the statement for the fiscal year
beginning October 1, 1995. Adopting SFAS No. 121 is not anticipated to have a
material impact on the Company's financial condition or the results of its
operations.
SFAS No. 122 Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 122
------------
modifies the treatment of the capitalization of servicing rights by mortgage
banking enterprises (including banks and thrift institutions involved in selling
loans into the secondary market and retaining mortgage loan servicing rights).
SFAS No. 122, by amending SFAS No. 65, prescribes a single procedure for the
capitalization of mortgage servicing rights acquired either through loan
origination or through transactions where a mortgage banking enterprise buys the
servicing rights. SFAS No. 122 further provides guidance for considering
possible impairment of the capitalized value of mortgage servicing rights.
SFAS No. 122 applies prospectively to financial statements presented for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. However, earlier application is
encouraged as of the beginning of a fiscal year for which annual financial
statements have not been issued or as of the beginning of an interim period
within that fiscal year for which interim financial statements have not been
issued.
The Company adopted SFAS No. 122 as of July 1, 1995. The effect of this
adoption will be to increase reported gains on sales of loans where servicing is
retained and to decrease servicing fee income as capitalized mortgage servicing
rights are amortized over an estimated life of the loan against servicing
income. The overall impact to the Company's earnings will be dependent on the
volume of loans originated and sold into the secondary market which is
determined by management based upon the coupon rates and terms of loans
originated which is in turn affected by the general level of interest rates and
competition for loans in the Company's local market. A continued period of lower
interest rates would have the effect of increasing the number of loan originated
and sold into the secondary market while significant increases in the overall
level of interest rates would allow more loans to be held in portfolio which are
not subject to SFAS No. 122.
At June 30, 1996, the Company had outstanding capitalized mortgage
servicing rights of $101,210.
SFAS NO. 123 In October 1995 the Financial Accounting Standards
------------
Board issued SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation which
established a fair value based method of accounting for stock-based compensation
plans. It encourages entities to adopt that method in place of the provisions of
APB opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, for all
arrangements under which employees receive shares of stock or other equity
instruments of the employer or the employer incurs liabilities to employees in
amounts based on the price of its stock. It permits entities to continue to use
the intrinsic value method included in APB No. 25, but regardless of the method
used to account for the compensation cost associated with stock option and
similar plans, it requires employers to show significant expanded disclosures,
including the pro forma amount of net income (and earnings per share) as if the
fair value-based method were used to account for stock-based compensation.
Beginning in October 1, 1996, the effective date for the Statement, the
Company will continue using the accounting methods prescribed by APB No. 25 and
will disclose in the footnotes information on a fair value basis for its stock-
based compensation plans.

EAST TEXAS FINANCIAL SERVICES, INC.
AND SUBSIDIARY
FORM 10-QSB
JUNE 30, 1996
________________________________________________________________________________
Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations
GENERAL
East Texas Financial Services, Inc. (the "Company") was formed in
September of 1994 by First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Tyler (the
"Association") for the purpose of acquiring all of the common stock of the
Association upon its conversion from the mutual to stock form of ownership. The
acquisition was completed on January 10, 1995. All references to the Company
prior to January 10, 1995, except where otherwise indicated, are to the
Association.
The principle business of the Company is that of a community-oriented
financial institution attracting deposits from the general public and using such
deposits to originate one- to four-family residential loans and, to a lesser
extent, commercial real estate, one- to four-family construction, multi-family
and consumer loans. These funds have also been used to purchase mortgage-backed
securities, U.S. government and agency obligations and other permissible
securities. The ability of the Company to attract deposits is influenced by a
number of factors, including interest rates paid on competing investments,
account maturities and levels of personal income and savings. The Company's cost
of funds is influenced by interest rates on competing investments and general
market rates of interest. Lending activities are influenced by the demand for
real estate loans and other types of loans, which is in turn affected by the
interest rates at which such loans are made, general economic conditions
affecting loan demand, the availability of funds for lending activities,
economic conditions and changes in real estate values.
The Company's results of operations are dependent primarily on net
interest income, which is the difference between the income earned on its loan
and investment portfolios and the interest paid on deposits and borrowings.
Results of operations are also affected by the Company's provision for loan
losses and the net gain(loss) on sales of interest earning assets and loan fees.
The Company's results of operations are also significantly affected by general
economic and competitive conditions, particularly changes in interest rates,
government policies and actions of regulatory authorities.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Total assets of the Company were $115.3 million at June 30, 1996, down
$1.8 million or 1.5% from the $117.1 million reported at September 30, 1995. The
decrease was primarily attributable to a $7.0 million decrease in mortgage back
securities held-to-maturity, partially offset by a $4.6 million increase in
loans receivable and a $781,000 increase in interest earning time deposits with
financial institutions. Also, a $336,000 decrease in advances from borrowers for
taxes and insurance and a $1.3 million decrease in total stockholders' equity
contributed to the decline in total assets.
Cash and due from banks totaled $539,000 at June 30, 1996, compared to
$537,000 at September 30, 1995. This balance is comprised primarily of vault
cash and teller cash funds as well as clearing accounts with correspondent
banks. Balances in this account fluctuate as loan payments and deposits are
received from customers as well as with disbursement of loan proceeds, deposit
withdrawals and payment of operating expenses.
Page 13 of 23
Interest-bearing deposits with banks, primarily overnight deposits with
the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas and federal funds sold, totaled $6.2
million at June 30, 1996, compared to $6.3 million at September 30, 1995.
Interest earning time deposits with financial institutions increased $781,000 to
$1.7 million at June 30, 1996, compared to $882,000 at September 30, 1995, as
additional certificates were purchased. At June 30, 1996, the weighted average
yield on these certificates was 6.05% with a weighted average term to maturity
of approximately 17 months as compared to 6.09% and 20 months at September 30,
1995. All of the certificates are federally insured deposits.
Investment securities held-to-maturity totaled $30.3 million at June 30,
1996, unchanged from the $30.3 million at September 30, 1995, and was comprised
of U.S. Treasury and agency securities, all with fixed coupon rates and terms of
five years or less. Management currently has the intent and ability to hold
these securities until maturity and believes the duration and maturity structure
of the portfolio will provide sufficient liquidity and cash flow for operations.
At June 30, 1996, the portfolio contained $10.7 million in securities with final
maturities of one year or less, $13.0 million in securities with final
maturities of one through two years, $3.5 million of securities with final
maturities of two through three years and $3.1 million of securities with final
maturities of three through five years.
The Company's mortgage-backed securities portfolio at June 30, 1996,
totaled $26.8 million, down $7.0 million from $33.7 million at September 30,
1995. The decrease resulted from principal payments received on the mortgage-
backed security portfolio during the period. Lower interest rates had the effect
of increasing the prepayment of principal on the Company's mortgage-backed
securities portfolio. Borrowers on the underlying loans of the securities
exchanged adjustable rate loans for long term fixed rate mortgages at lower
interest rates. As a result, and net of additional purchases during the period,
the portfolio decreased. At June 30, 1996, the mortgage-backed securities
portfolio was comprised of $6.2 million of fixed rate securities with final
maturities of five years or less. The balance of $20.6 million was in adjustable
rate securities with interest rate adjustment frequencies of either six months
or one year. The weighted average yield on the mortgage-backed security
portfolio was 7.16% at June 30, 1996.
Loans receivable increased $4.6 million to $46.3 million at June 30,
1996, compared to $41.8 million at September 30, 1995. The Company reported loan
volume of $18.5 million for the nine month period ended June 30, 1996, compared
to $15.0 million for the nine months ended June 30, 1995. The increased lending
activity is attributable to the continued strength of the economy in Tyler and
the surrounding area, as well as the introduction of several new portfolio loan
products by the Company in 1994. The loans feature fixed rates of interest for
initial periods of three, five or seven years and convert to annual adjustable
rate loans after the initial period. The loans are made at initial rates below
current long-term fixed rate loan rates and above comparable investment
alternatives. The Company is currently placing all adjustable rate loans and all
15 year fixed rate loans with interest rates in excess of 6.50% in portfolio
while all loans not meeting these criteria are being sold into the secondary
market.
The Company had no foreclosed real estate at June 30, 1996, compared to
the $90,000 reported at September 30, 1995.
At $92.5 million, total deposits at June 30, 1996 were unchanged from
the $92.5 million reported at September 30, 1995. The Association's average cost
of funds was 4.75% at June 30, 1996, up 5 basis points from the 4.70% reported
at September 30, 1995.
Page 14 of 23
Advances from borrowers for taxes and insurance decreased $336,000 to
$643,000 at June 30, 1996, from $979,000 at September 30, 1995. Normal year end
payments for taxes due on portfolio loans serviced by the Company resulted in
the decrease.
Current federal income taxes payable was ($15,000) at June 30, 1996,
compared to $39,000 at September 30, 1995. The decrease was a result of a
reduction in current income tax liability incurred, as interest rates
increased, on loans previously "held-for-sale" under federal income tax
guidelines and which loans are still adjusted to market value for current income
tax liability. Deferred income tax liability increased to $110,000 at June 30,
1996, compared to $63,000 at September 30, 1995, an offset of the current income
tax liability from the loans "held-for-sale" portfolio.
Stockholders' equity totaled $21.8 million at June 30, 1996, down $1.3
million from the $23.1 million reported at September 30, 1995. The decrease was
attributable to the Company's stock buyback programs announced and completed
during December 1995 and April 1996. Under the stock repurchase programs, the
Company bought, in the open market, 122,497 shares of its common stock at an
average price of $16.09 per share. The shares of stock were placed into
treasury stock at cost and will be used for general corporate purposes,
including the issuance of shares of stock pursuant to the exercise of stock
options. The decrease in total stockholders' equity resulting from the stock
repurchase program was partially offset by an increase in retained earnings of
$552,000, the $668,000 net income reported for the nine months ended June 30,
1996, less $116,000 in dividends paid during the nine months ended June 30,
1996.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company's net income is dependent primarily upon net interest
income, the difference or spread between the average yield earned on loans and
investments and the average rate paid on deposits, as well as the relative
amounts of such assets and liabilities. The Company, like other financial
intermediaries, is subject to interest rate risk to the degree that its
interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice at different times, or on a
different basis, than its interest earning assets.
COMPARISON OF THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996
AND JUNE 30, 1995
General. The Company's net income for the three months ended June
30, 1996, was $212,000 or $.20 per share, compared to $309,000 or $.28 per share
for the three months ended June 30, 1995, a $97,000 or 31.3% decrease. The
decrease was attributable to a $94,000 or 9.6% decline in net interest income
after provision for loan losses and a $66,000 or 11.7% increase in non-interest
expense. A $22,000 or 32.1% increase in non-interest income and a $42,000 or
25.4% decrease in income tax expense partially offset the decline in net
interest income and increase in noninterest expenses.
Net Interest Income. For the three months ended June 30, 1996, net
interest income after provision for loan losses totaled $882,000, down $94,000
or 9.6% from the $975,000 reported for the same quarter in 1995. Interest income
was $2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 1996, a decrease of $85,000
from the $2.1 million reported for the three months ended June 30, 1995.
Conversely, interest paid on deposit accounts totaled $1.1 million for the
quarter ended June 30, 1996, an increase of $9,000 over the $1.1 million
reported for the same period in 1995.
Interest on loans receivable totaled $925,000 for the quarter ended June
30, 1996, compared to $872,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1995, a
$54,000 or 6.1% increase. The increase in income was a result of an increase in
the average balance outstanding of the portfolio. Additional lending volume
increased the loans receivable portfolio to $46.3 million at June 30, 1996, from
$41.8 million at September 30, 1995, a $4.6 million or 11.0% increase.
Page 15 of 23
Interest income from the Company's mortgage-backed securities portfolio
declined to $470,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1996, compared to $520,000
for the quarter ended June 30, 1995, a $50,000 or 9.6% decline. The decrease in
income, despite the fact that the average yield on the portfolio increased to
7.16% at June 30, 1996, compared to 6.68% at June 30, 1995, was primarily a
result of lower average balances in the portfolio for the quarter ended June
30, 1996, compared to the prior year. Cash flow from principal repayments on
the securities were redirected to fund lending operations during the year.
Increased prepayments in the portfolio throughout most of the first half of 1996
were directly attributable to lower mortgage interest rates during the period as
borrowers on the underlying adjustable rate loans in the mortgage-backed
securities portfolio refinanced mortgages into fixed rate and term loans.
Interest income from the investment securities and overnight funds
portfolio totaled $604,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1996, compared to
$692,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1995, an $88,000 or 12.8% decline. The
decrease resulted from a $3.6 million decline in the average balance outstanding
in the portfolio for the quarter ended June 30, 1996, compared to the same
quarter in 1995 as well as a 36 basis point decrease in the overall yield of the
portfolio as maturing investment securities were reinvested at lower interest
rates during 1995 and 1996.
Interest paid to depositors totaled $1.1 million for the quarter ended
June 30, 1996, a $9,000 increase from the $1.1 million for the same quarter in
1995. Despite the fact that average deposit balances outstanding for the quarter
ended June 30, 1996, were $92.1 million, a $2.1 million decrease from the $94.2
million for the quarter ended June 30, 1995, an increase in the Company's
average cost of funds to 4.86% during the period ended June 30, 1996, compared
to 4.71% during the period ended June 30, 1995, accounted for the minimal change
in interest expense. The increase in the average cost of funds resulted as the
Company continued to pay competitive deposit rates on renewing certificate of
deposit accounts throughout 1995 and 1996.
Provision For Loan Losses. The Company made no provision for loan
losses for the quarters ended June 30, 1996 and June 30, 1995. Management deemed
the Company's allowance for loan losses to be sufficient in relation to non-
performing assets at both periods. (See "Asset Quality")
Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income increased to $89,000 for the
quarter ended June 30, 1996, from $68,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1995, a
$21,000 or 32.1% increase. The increase was directly attributable to a $12,000
increase in gains on sales of interest-earning assets primarily resulting from
the Company's July 1, 1995, adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 122, 'Accounting For Mortgage Servicing Rights - An
Amendment of FASB Statement No. 65. (See "Current Accounting Issues") The
increased non-interest income was also aided by an $8,000 increase in other non-
interest income resulting from additional fee income earned during the quarter.
Non-Interest Expense. Total non-interest expense increased $66,000,
or 11.7% to $636,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1996, compared to
$570,000 for the same period in 1995. The increase was directly attributable to
increased compensation and benefits expense of $54,000 mostly related to the
Company's Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) and Recognition and Retention
Plan (RRP).
Other operating expense increased $19,000 to $136,000 for the quarter
ended June 30, 1996, compared to $117,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1995.
The increase was a result of additional year end legal and ongoing franchise tax
expenses subsequent to the formation of the Company in January of 1995.
Page 16 of 23
Provision For Income Taxes. The Company incurred federal income tax
expense of $122,000 or 36.5% of pre-tax income for the three months ended June
30, 1996, compared to $164,000 or 34.7% of pre-tax income for the three months
ended June 30, 1995. The decrease was attributable to a decrease in pre-tax
income to $335,000 for the current quarter as compared to $473,000 for the same
quarter in 1995. Also, expenses related to the allocation of shares of ESOP
stock within the current fiscal year are only deductible for current tax
liability in an amount equal to the principal paid on the ESOP loan. The
difference in the principal paid on the ESOP loan and the average market price
at which the allocated shares are expensed is not deductible for current tax
purposes and is not considered temporary and no adjustment is made under
deferred income taxes. The net result was to increase the Company's effective
tax rate by approximately 2.0%.
COMPARISON OF THE NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996
AND JUNE 30, 1995
General. For the nine months ended June 30, 1996, the Company
reported net income of $668,000 or $.60 per share as compared to $796,000 or
$.71 per share for the nine months ended June 30, 1995. The decrease in net
income resulted from a $30,000 decline in net interest income and a $197,000
increase in non-interest expense. The additional operating expenses and the
decline in net interest income were partially offset by a $91,000 increase in
non-interest income and a $9,000 decrease in income tax expense.
Net Interest Income. For the nine months ended June 30, 1996, net
interest income after the provision for loan losses was $2.7 million, down
$30,000 from the net interest income of $2.7 million reported for the nine
months ended June 30, 1995.
Interest income totaled $6.1 million for the nine months ended June 30,
1996, compared to $5.9 million for the same period in 1995, a $211,000 or 3.6%
increase.
Interest on mortgage loans totaled $2.6 million for the nine months
ended June 30, 1996, compared to $2.4 million for the same period in 1995, a
$222,000 or 9.2% increase. An increase in the average mortgage loan balance
outstanding to $44.1 million for the nine months ended June 30, 1996, compared
to $38.8 million for the nine months ended June 30, 1995, accounted for the
additional income.
Interest income on mortgage-backed securities was $1.6 million for the
nine months ended June 30, 1996, compared to $1.2 million for the nine month
period ended June 30, 1995. Despite the fact that balances in mortgage-backed
securities declined to $26.8 million at June 30, 1996, compared to $31.7 million
at June 30,1995, income on mortgage-backed securities was lower during the nine
month period ended June 30, 1995, due to the Company's balance sheet
restructuring undertaken in September of 1994. The Company, in an effort to
restructure the balance sheet into more interest sensitive assets, sold
approximately $75.0 million in securities. The reinvestment of the mortgage-
backed security portion of the proceeds was not completed until November 1994.
As a result, earnings on mortgage backed securities were lower during the nine
month period ended June 30, 1995.
Offsetting the increases in interest income from mortgage loans and
mortgage-backed securities was a $375,000 decrease in interest on investment
securities from $2.2 million for the nine months ended June 30, 1995, to $1.8
million for the nine months ended June 30, 1996. Interest on investment
securities includes interest earned on overnight fund balances. As a result of
the September 1994 balance sheet restructuring, excess cash was held in
overnight deposits. Earnings on overnight deposits declined as proceeds were
reinvested in mortgage-backed securities. Additionally, maturing investment
securities in 1995 and the first quarter of 1996 have been reinvested at lower
yields as the overall level of interest rates declined.
Page 17 of 23
Interest expense was reported as $3.4 million for the nine months ended
June 30, 1996, an increase of $241,000 or 7.6% over the $3.2 million reported
for the nine months ended June 30, 1995. Despite a decrease in average balances
outstanding during the nine months ended June 30, 1996, to $92.5 million as
compared to $98.3 million for the same period in 1995, the Company's average
cost of funds increased as the Company continued to pay competitive deposit
rates throughout 1995 and 1996. The increased average cost of funds accounted
for the additional reported interest expense.
Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income was $275,000 for the nine
months ended June 30, 1996, compared to $185,000 for the same period in 1995, a
$91,000 or 49.1% increase. The increase was directly attributable to a $79,000
increase in gains on sales of interest-earning assets primarily resulting from
the Company's July 1, 1995, adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 122, Accounting For Mortgage Servicing Rights - An
Amendment of FASB Statement No. 65. (See "Current Accounting Issues") A
$15,000 increase in loan origination and commitment fees resulting from the
Company's increased lending activity during 1995 and 1996 also contributed to
the increase in non-interest income. These increases were offset somewhat by a
$9,000 decrease in loan servicing fee income as a result of the amortization of
capitalized mortgage servicing assets related to the adoption of SFAS No. 122.
Non-Interest Expense. Non-interest expense increased $197,000, or
11.5% to $1.9 million for the nine months ended June 30, 1996, compared to $1.7
million for the same period in 1995. Compensation and benefits expense were $1.2
million for the nine months ended June 30, 1996, compared to $1.0 million for
the same period in 1995, a $149,000 or 14.3% increase primarily as a result of
additional expenses related to the Company's Employee Stock Ownership Plan
(ESOP) and Recognition and Retention Plan (RRP).
Other operating expense increased $70,000 to $432,000 for the nine
months ended June 30, 1996, compared to $362,000 for the nine months ended June
30, 1995. The increase was a result of additional year end expenses associated
with the Company's first annual stockholders' meeting as well as ongoing
franchise and other tax expenses subsequent to the formation of the Company in
January of 1995.
Offsetting the increases in compensation and benefits and other
operating expenses was a $13,000 decrease in SAIF insurance premiums and a
$13,000 decrease in occupancy and equipment expense. The decrease in SAIF
insurance premiums was directly attributable to the decline in average balances
of deposits outstanding for the period ended June 30, 1996, compared to the same
period in 1995.
Provision for Income Taxes. The Company incurred federal income tax
expense of $383,000 or 36.4% or pre-tax income for the nine months ended June
30, 1996, compared to $392,000 or 33.0% or pre-tax income for the nine months
ended June 30, 1995. Expenses related to the allocation of shares of ESOP stock
within the current fiscal year are only deductible for current tax liability in
an amount equal to the principal paid on the ESOP loan. The difference in the
principal paid on the ESOP loan and the average market price at which the
allocated shares are expensed is not deductible for current tax purposes and is
not considered temporary and no adjustment is made under deferred income taxes.
The net result was to increase the Company's effective tax rate by approximately
2.0%.
ASSET QUALITY
At June 30, 1996, the Company's non-performing assets totaled $271,000
or .23% of total assets, compared to $396,000 or .34% of total assets at
September 30, 1995. The improvement was due to a reduction, during the period,
in loans delinquent greater than 90 days. At June 30, 1996, non-performing
assets was comprised entirely of loans on single family residences. Non-
performing loans equaled .58% of loans receivable at June 30, 1996, compared to
.95% at September 30, 1995.
Page 18 of 23
Classified assets totaled $748,000 or .65% of total assets at June 30,
1996, compared to $781,000 or .67% of total assets at September 30, 1995.
Classified assets and non-performing assets differ in that classified assets may
include loans less than 90 days delinquent. Also, assets guaranteed by
governmental agencies such as the Veterans Administration and the Federal
Housing Administration are not included in classified assets but are included in
non-performing assets. All classified assets at June 30, 1996, were deemed to be
"substandard"; no assets were classified as "doubtful" or "loss" as of such
date.
The Company's allowance for loan losses totaled $289,000 at June
30,1996, compared to $296,000 at September 30, 1995. The decrease resulted from
charges against the balance for losses on a foreclosed single family residence
sold during the quarter ended March 31, 1996. The allowance for loan losses as a
percentage of total loans receivable equaled .62% at June 30, 1996, compared to
.71% at September 30, 1995.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's principal sources of funds are deposits from customers,
amortization and prepayment of loan principal (including mortgage-backed
securities), maturities of securities, sales of loans and operations.
Current Office of Thrift Supervision regulations require the Association
to maintain cash and eligible investments (liquid assets), in an amount equal to
5.0% of net withdrawable savings deposits and borrowings payable on demand or
within 5 years or less during the preceding month. Liquid assets include cash,
certain time deposits, U.S. Government and agency securities having maturities
of less than 5 years. The Association maintains a liquid asset ratio above the
minimum required level of the Office of Thrift Supervision. At June 30, 1996,
the Association's liquid asset ratio equaled 47.5%.
The Association uses its liquidity and capital resources principally to
meet ongoing commitments to fund maturing certificates of deposit and loan
commitments, maintain liquidity and pay operating expenses. At June 30,1996, the
Association had outstanding commitments to extend credit on $1.9 million of real
estate loans.
Management believes that present levels of liquid assets are sufficient
to meet anticipated future loan commitments as well as deposit withdrawal
demands.
Total stockholders' equity equaled $21.8 million at June 30, 1996, a
decrease of $1.3 million from the $23.1 million reported at September 30, 1995.
The decrease resulted from the Company's purchase of 122,497 shares of treasury
stock at an average price of $16.09 per share and $116,000 in cash dividends
paid during the nine months ended June 30, 1996. The decrease in stockholders'
equity was partially offset by the Company's $668,000 net income for the nine
months ended June 30, 1996.
As of June 30, 1996, the Company's reported book value per share, using
total stockholders' equity of $21.8 million (net of the cost of unallocated ESOP
shares) and 1,133,890 outstanding shares of common stock(the total issued shares
including unallocated ESOP shares less treasury shares), equaled $19.24 per
share.
Subsequent to the quarter ended June 30, 1996, the Company announced its
intention to purchase, in the open market, up to an additional 5.0% or
approximately 56,695 shares of stock under a special stock repurchase program.
Additionally, the Company announced its intention to pay a cash dividend of $.05
per share on August 28, 1996, to stockholders of record at August 14, 1996.

Under the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of
1989 ("FIRREA"), Congress imposed a three part capital requirement for thrift
institutions. At June 30, 1996, the Association's actual and required capital
amounts under each of the three requirements were as follows:
- Tangible Capital (stockholders' equity ) was $17.7 million or 15.3% of
total assets, exceeding the minimum requirement of 1.5% by $15.9 million.
- Core Capital (Tangible capital plus certain intangible assets) was $17.7
million or 15.3% of total assets, exceeding the minimum requirement of 3.0%
by $14.2 million.
- Risk-based capital (Core capital plus general loan and valuation allowances
less and adjustment for capitalized mortgage servicing rights) equaled
$17.9 million or 44.6% of risk weighted assets, exceeding the minimum
requirement of 8.0% of risk weighted assets by $14.7 million.
At June 30, 1996, the Association was considered a "well capitalized"
institution under the prompt corrective action requirements of the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991.

Item 5. Other Information
-----------------
The deposits of savings associations such as the Association are
presently insured by the Savings Association Insurance Fund (the
"SAIF"), which together with the Bank Insurance Fund (the "BIF"), are
the two insurance funds administered by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation (the "FDIC"). On August 8, 1995, the FDIC revised the
premium schedule for BIF-insured banks to provide a range of .04% to
.31% of deposits (as compared to the current range of .23% to .31% of
deposits for both BIF and SAIF insured institutions) in anticipation of
the BIF achieving its statutory reserve ratio. The lower premiums for
BIF members became effective in the third quarter of 1995. The FDIC in
November 1995 further revised the premium schedule, effective January
1996, to provide a range of 0% to .27% with a minimum annual assessment
of $2,000. As a result, BIF members generally pay lower premiums than
the SAIF members.
The SAIF is not expected to attain the designated reserve ratio until
the year 2002 due to the shrinking deposit base for SAIF assessments
and the requirement that SAIF premiums be used to make the interest
payments on bonds issued by the Financing Corporation ("FICO") in order
to finance the costs of resolving thrift failures in the 1980's. As a
result, SAIF members will generally be subject to higher deposit
insurance premiums than BIF members until, all things being equal, the
SAIF attains the required reserve ratio.
Page 21 of 23
The effect of this disparity on the Association and other SAIF members
is uncertain at this time. It may have the effect of permitting BIF
insured institutions to offer loan and deposit products on more
attractive terms than SAIF members due to the cost savings achieved
through lower deposit premiums, thereby placing SAIF members at a
competitive disadvantage. In order to eliminate this disparity, a
number of proposals to recapitalize the SAIF have been recently
considered by the United States Congress. The plan under current
consideration provides for a one-time assessment, anticipated to range
from .80% to .90%, to be imposed on all SAIF insured deposits as of
March 31, 1995. The BIF and SAIF would be merged into one fund as soon
as practicable, but no later than January 1, 1998. There can be no
assurance that any particular proposal will be enacted or that premiums
for either BIF of SAIF members will not be adjusted in the future by
the FDIC or by legislative action.
