MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF HENDERSON CITIZENS BANCSHARES, INC. FOR THE NINE MONTHS AND THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 AND 1998 The following discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations of the Company and its primary bank subsidiary, Citizens National Bank, Henderson, Texas, should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, and other financial and statistical information appearing elsewhere in this report. Acquisition - ----------- On December 11, 1998, the Bank acquired all of the outstanding shares of Jefferson National Bank, located at 109 E. Broadway, Jefferson, Texas, for a combination of cash and notes payable. The transaction was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and resulted in an increase in total assets of $31,913,000 and total deposits of $28,564,000. The Citizens National Bank merged operations of the Jefferson National Bank with the existing Citizens National Bank Jefferson branch at the close of business on December 11, 1998. Results of Operations - --------------------- Net income for the first nine months of 1999 increased to $3,077,000 compared to $2,756,000 for the same period in 1998. Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 was $8,770,000 compared to $8,095,000 for the same period in 1998. The Company made a provision of $270,000 to the allowance for loan losses during the first nine months of 1999. A provision of $458,000 was made for loan losses during the same period in 1998. The Company experienced a net gain on securities transactions totaling approximately $187,000 in the first nine months of 1999 compared to a net gain of $282,000 in the first nine months of 1998. Other income, excluding net gains on securities transactions, for the first nine months of 1999 was $3,777,000 compared to $3,232,000 for the same period in 1998. Total other expenses for the first nine months of 1999 were $8,779,000 compared to $7,651,000 for the same period in 1998. Income tax expense for the first nine months of 1999 and 1998 was $608,000 and $744,000, respectively. Net income for the three months ended September 30, 1999 increased to $1,066,000 compared to $1,008,000 for the same period in 1998. Net interest income for the three months ended September 30, 1999 was $2,903,000 compared to $2,679,000 for the same period in 1998. The Company had a negative provision for loan losses of $30,000 during the three months ended September 30, 1999. A provision of $165,000 was made for loan losses during the same period in 1998. The Company experienced no net gain or loss on securities transactions in the three months ended September 30, 1999 compared to a net gain of $216,000 in the same period in 1998. Other income, excluding net gains on securities transactions, for the three months ended September 30, 1999 was $1,345,000 compared to $1,133,000 for the same period in 1998. Total other expenses for the three months ended September 30, 1999 were $2,991,000 compared to $2,593,000 for the same period in 1998. Income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998 was $221,000 and $262,000, respectively. Net Interest Income. For the nine months ended September 30, 1999, net ------------------- interest income was $8,770,000 compared to $8,095,000 for the first nine months of 1998. The increase is primarily the result of continued loan growth combined with growth in loans and deposits as a result of the acquisition of Jefferson National Bank in December 1998. Average rates earned generally remained unchanged while average rates paid were lower during the first nine months of 1999 as compared to the same period in 1998. Net interest income for the three-month period ended September 30, 1999 was $2,903,000 compared to $2,679,000 in 1998. The increase is a result of the same factors noted in the previous paragraph for the first nine months of 1999 and 1998. Provision for Loan Losses. During the first nine months of 1999, ------------------------- the Company increased its allowance for loan losses through a provision of $270,000. The Company increased its allowance for loan losses during the same period of 1998 by a provision of $458,000. For the three-month period ended September 30, 1999, the Company's allowance decreased by $30,000 primarily as a result of a net recovery situation during the period ($275,000). The Company had a significant recovery on one customer amounting to approximately $680,000. The Company increased its allowance for loan losses during the same period in 1998 by a provision of $165,000. See additional information related to the Company's loan operations in the Allowance for Loan Loss section below. 8 Other Income. Non-interest income, excluding securities gains/losses, ------------ was $3,777,000 for the first nine months of 1999 as compared to $3,232,000 in the first nine months of 1998. This increase is due to increases in service charges primarily through the initiation of an insufficient funds fee program in March 1998, and an increase in trust fee income. The Company experienced net gains on securities transactions for the first nine months of 1999 of $187,000 as well as net gains on securities transactions for the first nine months of 1998 of $282,000. For the three months ended September 30, 1999, non-interest income, excluding securities gains was $1,345,000 compared to $1,133,000 for the same period in 1998, with the majority of the increase due to the insufficient funds fee income and an increase in trust fee income. The Company experienced no net realized gain/loss on securities transactions for the three months ended September 30, 1999 compared to a net gain on securities transactions of $216,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1998. Other Expenses. Other expenses for the nine-month period ended -------------- September 30, 1999 were $8,779,000 compared to $7,651,000 during the same period in 1998. The increase in other expenses is due to the increase in salary and related benefit expense resulting from the opening of an additional facility in Chandler, Texas and the acquisition of Jefferson National Bank in Jefferson, Texas. Other expenses also increased due to fees and expenses associated with the initiation of the insufficient funds fee program and the amortization of goodwill, which increased due to the acquisition of Jefferson National Bank. For the three-month period ended September 30, 1999, other expenses were $2,991,000 compared to $2,593,000 during the same period in 1998. The increased in other expenses is due to the increase in salary and related benefit expense as a result of the opening of an additional facility in Chandler, Texas and the acquisition of Jefferson National Bank in Jefferson, Texas. Other expenses also increased due to the amortization of goodwill and the additional occupancy expenses that resulted due to the acquisition of Jefferson National Bank. Income Taxes. Income tax expense for the first nine months of 1999 was ------------ $608,000, compared to $744,000 in the same period in 1998. The effective tax rate for the first nine months of 1999 and 1998, respectively, was 16.5% and 21.3%. This effective rate is less than the statutory rate primarily because of tax-free income provided from state and municipal bonds, leases and obligations. Income taxes for the three-month periods ended September 30, 1999 and September 30, 1998 were $221,000 and $262,000 respectively. The effective tax rate for the three-month periods ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively, was 17.2% and 20.6%. This effective rate is less than the statutory rate due to the same reasons stated above. Financial Condition - ------------------- The Company's total assets at September 30, 1999 of $376,326,000 decreased from the total assets at December 31, 1998 of $386,919,000. The Company's loan portfolio grew 7.0% to $138,358,000 at September 30, 1999, up from $129,263,000 at December 31, 1998. Total deposits were $339,126,000 at September 30, 1999, compared to the December 31, 1998 total of $345,720,000. The decrease in deposits is partially attributed to a loss in public funds of approximately $4.7 million. Equity capital of the Company, excluding unrealized gains or losses on securities available for sale, as a percentage of total assets was 9.9% at September 30, 1999 and 9.3% at December 31, 1998. The risk-based Tier I and Total capital ratios and the leverage ratio of Citizens National Bank amounted to 18.9%, 20.1%, and 8.9%, respectively at September 30, 1999 compared to 19.2%, 20.3%, and 8.8%, respectively, at December 31, 1998. Liquidity and Capital Resources - ------------------------------- At September 30, 1999, the Company's cash and cash equivalents of $21,800,000 decreased significantly from the December 31, 1998 amount of $36,897,000. This decrease was due to decreased deposits as well as funds used to finance new loans. The Company's stockholders' equity at September 30, 1999 of $35,385,000 remains at a level considered adequate by management. Profits in excess of dividends paid to shareholders are reflected in the increase in undivided profits from 1998. Operating Activities. The Company uses cash in the conduct of its day- -------------------- to-day operations for such normal purposes as payroll, equipment and facilities acquisition and maintenance, advertising, data processing, customer service activity, and administrative activity. The Company generates cash from operations primarily from service charges and the net interest earned from the investment of customer deposits. Net cash provided by operating activities was $1,682,000 and $3,306,000 for the first nine months of 1999 and 1998, respectively. 9 Investing Activities. The Company invests available funds primarily in -------------------- securities and loans to customers. Funds not otherwise used are invested in federal funds sold and interest-bearing demand accounts, primarily with the Federal Home Loan Bank. Financing Activities. In addition to cash provided and used by -------------------- operating and investing activities, the Company receives and disburses cash in connection with customer deposit activities and pays dividends on its common stock. During the first nine months of 1999, the Company paid off $2,300,000 in notes payables issued as a result of the acquisitions of First State Bank Waskom and Jefferson National Bank. Deposits decreased during the first nine months of 1999, which is partially attributable to a loss of public funds of approximately $4.7 million. Allowance for Loan Losses - ------------------------- The allowance for loan losses at September 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998 was 1.53% and 1.30% of outstanding loans, respectively. By its nature, the process through which management determines the appropriate level of the allowance requires considerable judgment. The determination of the necessary allowance, and correspondingly the provision for loan losses, involves assumptions about projections of national and local economic conditions, the composition of the loan portfolio, and prior loss experience, in addition to other considerations. As a result, no assurance can be given that future losses will not vary from the current estimates. However, management believes that the allowance at September 30, 1999 is adequate to cover losses inherent in its loan portfolio. A migration analysis and an internal classification system for loans also helps identify potential problems, if any, that are not identified otherwise. From these analyses, management determines which loans are potential candidates for nonaccrual status, including impaired loan status, or charge-off. Management continually reviews loans and classifies them consistent with the Comptroller's guidelines to help ensure that an adequate allowance is maintained. The allocation of the allowance for loan losses is based upon the inherent risks in the various components of the loan portfolio. Amounts allocated to each component are determined based on management's evaluations of concentrations of credit risks, current and anticipated economic conditions, historical analyses, and classification and estimated loss exposure assigned to specific credits. These reserve allocations are subject to change as various economic conditions dictate. The following table is an analysis of the Allowance for Loan Losses. ANALYSIS OF THE ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 1999 1998 -------- -------- Balance at beginning of period $ 1,701 1,249 Charge-offs: Commercial, financial, and agricultural 303 25 Real estate-mortgage 27 -- Installment loans to individuals 414 303 --------- -------- 744 328 Recoveries: Commercial, financial, and agricultural 735 54 Real estate-mortgage 11 -- Installment loans to individuals 188 102 --------- -------- 934 156 --------- -------- Net recoveries (190) (172) --------- -------- Additions charged to operations 270 458 --------- -------- Balance at end of period $ 2,161 1,535 ========= ========= Ratio of net recoveries during the period to average loans outstanding during the period (.14)% (.14)% ========= ========= 10 Non Accrual, Past Due and Restructured Loans - -------------------------------------------- The Company's policy is to discontinue the accrual of interest income on loans whenever it is determined that reasonable doubt exists with respect to timely collectibility of interest and principal. Loans are placed on nonaccrual status if either material deterioration occurs in the financial position of the borrower, payment in full of interest or principal is not anticipated, payment in full of interest or principal is past due 90 days or more unless well secured, payment in full of interest or principal on a loan is past due 180 days or more, regardless of collateral, or the loan in whole or in part is classified as doubtful. A loan may remain on accrual status if it is in the process of collection and is either guaranteed or well secured. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, interest is no longer accrued or included in interest income and previously accrued income is reversed. The following is a summary of the Company's problem loans as of September 30, 1999 and 1998. At September 30, 1999 1998 -------- -------- (dollars in thousands) Nonaccrual loans $ 29 149 Restructured loans -- -- Other impaired loans -- -- Other real estate 318 -- ------- ------ Total non-performing loans 347 149 ======= ====== Loans past due 90+ days and still accruing 69 182 ======= ====== Other potential problem loans -- -- ======= ====== For the nine months ended September 30, 1999 1998 ------- ------ (dollars in thousands) Income that would have been recorded in accordance with original terms $ 3 7 Less income actually recorded -- -- ------- ------ Loss of income $ 3 7 ======= ====== Concentration of Credit Risk - ---------------------------- The Company grants real estate, commercial, and industrial loans to customers primarily in Henderson, Texas, and surrounding areas of east Texas. Although the Company has a diversified loan portfolio, a substantial portion (approximately 52.9% at September 30, 1999) of its loans are secured by real estate and its ability to fully collect its loans is dependent upon the real estate market in this region. The Company typically requires collateral sufficient in value to cover the principal amount of the loan. Such collateral is evidenced by mortgages on property held and readily accessible to the Company. See additional information related to the composition of the Company's loan portfolio included in note 3 to the consolidated financial statements. Securities - ---------- The Investment Committee, under the guidance of the Company's Investment Policy, assesses the short and long-term needs of the Company after consideration of loan demand, interest rate factors, and prevailing market conditions. Recommendations for purchases and other transactions are then made considering safety, liquidity, and maximization of return to the Company. Management determines the proper classification of securities at the time of purchase. Securities that management does not intend to hold to maturity or that might be sold under certain circumstances are classified as available for sale. If management has the intent and the Company has the ability at the time of purchase to hold the securities until maturity, the securities will be classified as held to maturity. 11 The management strategy for securities is to maintain a very high quality portfolio with generally short duration. The quality of the portfolio is maintained with 74% of the total as of September 30, 1999 comprised of U.S. Treasury, federal agency securities, and agency issued mortgage securities. The collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) and mortgage backed securities (MBS) held by the company are backed by agency collateral which consists of loans issued by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC), Federal National Mortgage Corporation (FNMA), and the Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA) with a blend of fixed and floating rate coupons. Credit risk is minimized through agency backing, however, there are other risks associated with MBS and CMOs. These other risks include prepayment, extension, and interest rate risk. MBS are securities that represent an undivided interest in a pool of mortgage loans. CMOs are structured obligations that are derived from a pool of mortgage loans or agency mortgage backed securities. CMOs in general have widely varying degrees of risk, which results from the prepayment risk on the underlying mortgage loans and its effect on the cash flows of the security. Prepayment risk is the risk of borrowers paying off their loans sooner than expected in a falling rate environment by either refinancing or curtailment. Extension risk is the risk that the underlying pool of loans will not exhibit the expected prepayment speeds thus resulting in a longer average life and slower cash flows than anticipated at purchase. Interest rate risk is based on the sensitivity of yields on assets that change in a different time period or in a different proportion from that of current market interest rates. Changes in average life due to prepayments and changes in interest rates in general will cause the market value of MBS and CMOs to fluctuate. The Company's MBS portfolio consists of fixed rate balloon maturity pools with short stated final maturities and adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) pools with coupons that reset annually and have longer maturities. Investments in CMOs consist mainly of Planned Amortization Classes (PAC), Targeted Amortization Classes (TAC), and sequential classes. As of September 30, 1999, floating rate securities made up 66% of the CMO portfolio. Support and liquidity classes with longer average lives and floating rate coupons are a relatively small portion of the portfolio. To maximize after-tax income, investments in tax-exempt municipal securities are utilized but with somewhat longer maturities. Securities are the Company's single largest interest-earning asset representing approximately 53% of total assets at September 30, 1999. The investment portfolio totaled $198.4 million at September 30, 1999, down from $205.4 million at December 31, 1998. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Issued but not Effective - --------------------------------------------------------- FASB 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - This Statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivatives embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. It requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and measure those instruments at fair value. The Statement will be effective for the Company in the year beginning January 1, 2001. Due to the Company's limited use of derivative instruments, the effect of implementation of this new pronouncement is not expected to have a significant effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company. Year 2000 - --------- The Year 2000 ("Y2K") issue relates to the fact that many computer systems, hardware and software, use a two digit field for the year. The concern is that on January 1, 2000, a computer system may incorrectly interpret the year 2000 as 1900 causing various mathematical calculations to be wrong. Since 1996, the Company has been actively preparing for the entry to the year 2000 in an effort to minimize the impact of the Y2K issue to the Company and its customers. The Company established a Y2K committee headed by a senior member of the staff. The Y2K committee reviewed a list of the Company's equipment that might be affected by any glitch caused by the date rollover to the year 2000 and developed a plan to test all mission critical systems and remediate if necessary. By September 30, 1999, the testing of the Company's information technology systems, such as the main computer system, check sorter, LAN & WAN networks, ATMs, PCs and core system software was substantially complete and all systems have either tested compliant or the appropriate upgrade and enhancement has been installed to remediate the identified problem. All the non-information technology systems, including security systems, vaults, elevators and HVAC systems, have been identified and were tested by September 30, 1999. Like the information technology systems, all of the systems reviewed and tested to this point have been found to be Y2K compliant or an upgrade or enhancement has been added to remediate the identified problem. The Company has also assessed the Y2K risks related to outside companies and businesses with which it relies to provide service to the Company's customers. Two of the primary concerns are electrical and telephone service. Representatives of 12 the Company have been in contact with the various companies that provide these services in each of its locations and believe, based on representations given by third parties, that they will be able to provide continuous service to the Company in the new millennium. As the Company has become more reliant on its information technology system, a diesel generator to provide backup electrical power to the main bank location has been purchased. The generator has been installed, tested, and was fully operational as of September 30, 1999. The third principal Y2K concern is the Company's correspondent relationship with the Federal Reserve Bank for the transmission of electronic funds and wire transfers. Testing with the Federal Reserve has been completed and no significant problems have been indicated. The Company also maintains accounts with several major correspondent banks that could be used as alternate source for wire transfers and clearing checks. The cost of replacing non-compliant Y2K hardware and software in 1998 was approximately $57,000. This amount does not include the purchase of a check sorter and a phone system for the main bank at a cost of approximately $220,000, as these items were targeted for replacement before it was determined that they were not Y2K compliant. This amount includes the salary of a person who was hired in 1998 to assist with the testing for Y2K, but does not include salary expense for the personnel that were already on staff. During the first nine months of 1999, the Company spent approximately $42,000 on systems and testing related to Y2K, in addition to approximately $30,000 spent on the generator and its installation. The impact of the Y2K issues on the Company will depend not only on the corrective steps the Company takes, but will also depend on the way governmental agencies and other businesses react. Notwithstanding the Company's best efforts, there can be no assurance that all customers and third party vendors with whom the Company conducts business will adequately address their Y2K issues. With this in mind, the Company has developed contingency plans for implementation in the event a significant third party vendor does not adequately address the Y2K issues. These plans primarily involve using backup sites, alternate vendors or internal remediation. The Company has surveyed various loan and deposit customers regarding their Y2K readiness and related issues to anticipate how the liquidity of the Company may be affected. The primary concerns of the Company are whether the Y2K issue may result in depositors withdrawing funds and whether additional cash reserves will be required to be on hand to fund liquidity needs of depositors. The Company has established credit lines at several large correspondents in an abundance of caution. The Company has reviewed its larger loan commitments to assess the Company's potential exposure to any of its borrower's lack of Y2K readiness. This credit risk will be used in calculating the provision for loan loss. One of the major challenges facing all banks is the notification of their Y2K readiness to their customers. During 1999, the Company conducted a survey to help address its customers' concerns, inserted statement stuffers detailing the Company's Y2K preparations, held seminars at the branch locations, and presented speakers at various civic club meetings. Representative of the Company also participated in a meeting sponsored by the City of Henderson to inform citizens about Y2K issues. The Company plans to mail an additional letter to customers in November outlining the final steps to be taken by the bank and to inform the customers how they may obtain information concerning their accounts or other Y2K related matters. The Company has attempted to address all known Y2K issues in a timely and correct manner. Despite the Company's best efforts to accurately plan for the Year 2000, the results could vary from these estimates if the Company has unforeseen difficulties in a mission critical system and its ultimate remediation. Corporate Objectives - -------------------- It is the philosophy of the Company to continue to remain independent in ownership, to foster its image as the community leader in banking, to increase its market share through selected acquisitions and aggressive marketing, to maintain a sound earning-asset portfolio, and to assess liquidity needs while maximizing its profitability and return to its shareholders.
