In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (none of which were other than normal recurring entries) necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations for the interim periods. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire fiscal year. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended September 30, 2000 contained in the 2000 Annual Report to Stockholders which is filed as an exhibit to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. (2) Following is a summary of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share for the three months ended December 31, 2000 and 1999: Three Months Ended December 31, 2000 1999 Net earnings (loss) $ 136,050 (201,255) Weighted-average shares - Basic EPS 701,572 695,100 Stock options under treasury stock method - 1,875 Weighted-average shares - Diluted EPS 701,572 696,975 Basic earnings (loss) per common share $ .19 (.29) Diluted earnings (loss) per common share $ .19 (.29) Options to purchase 49,387 shares of common stock at $19.00 per share were outstanding during the three months ended December 31, 2000, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share since the exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common stock. (3) Perry County Financial Corporation entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by Jefferson County Bancshares on January 26, 2001. Under the terms of the agreement, Perry County Financial Corporation shareholders will receive $23.50 per share in cash. The acquisition, subject to regulatory and other requirements, is expected to close in the second half of 2001. General Perry County Financial Corporation (Company) has no significant assets other than common stock of Perry County Savings Bank, FSB (Bank), the loan to the ESOP and net proceeds retained by the Company following the conversion. The Company's principal business is the business of the Bank. Therefore, the discussion in the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations relates to the Bank and its operations. Certain statements in this report which relate to the Company's plans, objectives or future performance may be deemed to be forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Act of 1995. Such statements are based on management's current expectations. Actual strategies and results in future periods may differ materially from those currently expected because of various risks and uncertainties. Additional discussion of factors affecting the Company's business and prospects is contained in periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. <PAGE 5> Asset and Liability Management and Market Risk The Bank's net interest income is dependent primarily upon the difference or spread between the average yield earned on loans, securities and mortgage- backed securities (MBSs) and the average rate paid on deposits and advances from the FHLB, as well as the relative amounts of such assets and liabilities. The Bank, as other thrift institutions, 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. The Bank does not purchase derivative financial instruments or other financial instruments for trading purposes. Further, the Bank is not subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk, commodity price risk or equity price risk. The Bank's principal financial objective is to achieve long-term profitability while managing its exposure to fluctuating interest rates. The Bank has an exposure to interest rate risk, including short-term U.S. prime interest rates. The Bank has employed various strategies intended to manage the adverse effects of interest rate risk on future operations by providing a better match between the interest rate sensitivity of its assets and liabilities. Although the Bank has originated adjustable rate mortgage loans (AMLs) in the past, the Bank originated primarily 20-year, fixed rate loans in recent years. The Bank also purchased $6.6 million in AMLs and balloon MBSs during the year ended September 30, 2000 and $11.3 million of long-term, fixed rate MBSs during the year ended September 30, 1999. Advances from the FHLB with a 10- year term, callable in 5 years, were used to fund a portion of the purchases. Until March 2000, the Bank held securities under a "leveraged investment" program. Long-term Federal agency obligations, which are callable in the near term, were purchased with intermediate-term FHLB advances (or other available funds). The Bank was able to earn a higher interest rate spread since the market prices callable obligations differently than noncallable obligations with otherwise identical terms. Leveraged investments usually result in increased interest rate risk. The effect on net interest income is positive unless rates change significantly. Because of the rise in interest rates, the market price of such securities were adversely affected, even though the interest rate spread remained positive. The Bank expects to purchase short and intermediate-term securities and MBSs in the future. The OTS provides a net market value methodology to measure the interest rate risk exposure of thrift institutions. This exposure is a measure of the potential decline in the net portfolio value (NPV) of the institution based upon the effect of an assumed 100 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates. NPV is the present value of the expected net cash flows from the institution's financial instruments (assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet contracts). Loans, deposits, and investments are valued taking into consideration similar maturities, related discount rates and applicable prepayment assumptions. Year 2000 The Bank reviewed its computer applications with its outside data processing service bureau and other software vendors to ensure operational and financial systems were not adversely affected by "year 2000" software failures. All major customer applications are processed through an outside service bureau which has been tested. Other major systems have been tested. Connectivity testing between Bank and vendor systems to ensure continued compatibility have also been tested. No significant problems have been encountered with the year 2000 issue to date. There are other widely reported dates which could cause software failures, and which were part of the Bank's year 2000 review and testing. Any year 2000 or other date related compliance failure could result in additional expense to the Bank. <PAGE 6> Liquidity and Capital Resources The Bank's principal sources of funds are cash receipts from deposits, security maturities and calls, principal collections on mortgage-backed securities, loan repayments by borrowers and net earnings. The Bank has an agreement with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines to provide cash advances, should the Bank need additional funds. The minimum level of liquidity required by regulation is presently 4%. The Bank's liquidity ratio exceeded the regulatory requirement at December 31, 2000. Under the capital adequacy guidelines and regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank's assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Capital adequacy guidelines require Tier 1 (core) capital of at least 4% (3% under certain circumstances) of total assets, Tier 1 capital of 4% of risk- weighted assets and total capital (risk-based capital) of 8% of risk-weighted assets. As of December 31, 2000, the Bank was categorized as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. Commitments to originate mortgage loans and fund loans in process at December 31, 2000 amounted to $8,000, expiring in 180 days or less. The Bank's regulatory capital and regulatory capital requirements at December 31, 2000 are summarized as follows: Minimum Required Minimum Required for Capital to be "Well Actual Adequacy Capitalized" Amount Ratio Amount Ratio Amount Ratio (Dollars in Thousands) Consolidated stockholders' equity $12,409 Stockholders' equity of Company (1,288) Unrealized loss on securities and MBSs available for sale, net 149 Deferred tax assets not includable in regulatory capital (531) Tangible capital 10,739 11.3% $1,419 1.5% General valuation allowance 30 Other adjustments (10) Total capital to risk- weighted assets $10,759 47.3% $1,818 8.0% $ 2,273 10.0% Tier 1 capital to risk- weighted assets $10,739 47.3% $ 909 4.0% $ 1,364 6.0% Tier 1 capital to total assets $10,739 11.3% $3,785 4.0% $ 4,731 5.0% Generally, unrealized losses on securities and MBSs do not affect the computation of regulatory capital. However, the Bank is limited in the amount of deferred tax assets which may be considered in computing regulatory capital. Losses on sales of securities and MBSs are charged to earnings and reduce regulatory capital. <PAGE 7> Financial Condition Customer deposits, maturity of securities and loan repayments were invested in cash and cash equivalents. Accrued interest on securities decreased due to the timing of interest receipts and a lower average balance. Deferred tax asset decreased due to a lower unrealized loss on securities and MBSs available for sale. Lower unrealized losses resulted from a decline in market interest rates. Accrued interest on deposits increased due to timing of interest payments and a higher average balance of certificates. Advances from borrowers for taxes and insurance decreased due to the payment of real estate taxes on behalf of borrowers in December. The Company did not repurchase shares of common stock in the open market during the quarter. While the purchase of treasury stock may be beneficial to the Company or shareholders, the purchase of treasury stock reduces interest-earning assets of the Company. Capital of the Bank is also reduced to the extent treasury stock purchases are funded by dividends from the Bank to the Company. Asset Quality Loans are placed on a nonaccrual status when contractually delinquent more than ninety days. There were two nonaccrual loans at December 31, 2000 amounting to $223,000. The borrower on one of the loans has declared bankruptcy and the Bank expects to foreclose on the property. Following is a summary of activity in the allowance for loan losses: Balance at September 30, 2000 $ 30,000 Charge-offs - Recoveries - Provision for loan loss - Balance at December 31, 2000 $ 30,000 Results of Operations Net Earnings Net earnings increased from a net loss of $201,000 for the three months ended December 31, 1999 to net earnings of $136,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2000. The increase was due primarily to provisions for loss on MBSs and securities for the quarter ended December 31, 1999, partially offset by lower net interest income in the three months ended December 31, 2000, less related tax effects. Net Interest Income Net interest income decreased from $589,000 for the three months ended December 31, 1999 to $433,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2000. The decrease is due primarily to lower interest rates earned as a result of sale of callable Federal agency obligations and reinvestment of the proceeds in the FHLB daily time account. The Board of Directors authorized the investment in the FHLB daily time account pending review of the Company's strategic options. Long-term, fixed-rate loans were originated to replace loan prepayments and refinances. Interest on MBSs decreased due to higher average interest rates. Interest on securities decreased due to the sale of all callable securities. Other interest-earning assets increased due to a substantially higher average balance in the three months ended December 31, 2000 than in the prior period. Components of interest income vary from time to time based on the availability and interest rates of loans, securities, MBSs and other interest-earning assets. <PAGE 8> Provision for Loan Losses Provision for loan losses is based upon management's consideration of economic conditions which may affect the ability of borrowers to repay the loans. Management also reviews individual loans for which full collectibility may not be reasonably assured and considers, among other matters, the risks inherent in the Bank's portfolio and the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral. This evaluation is ongoing and results in variations in the Bank's provision for loan losses. As a result of this evaluation, the Bank made no provision for loan losses for the three months ended December 31, 2000 and 1999. Noninterest Income Noninterest income for the three months ended December 31, 1999 includes provisions for loss on MBSs and securities of $188,000 and $487,000, respectively. Other noninterest income increased from $397 for the three months ended December 31, 1999 to $8,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2000 due to nonrecurring income. Noninterest Expense Noninterest expense increased from $236,000 for the three months ended December 31, 1999 to $241,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2000. The increase was due primarily to hiring an additional employee in 2000, partially offset by lower Federal insurance premiums. Management expects that legal and professional fees will increase substantially in future periods as the proposed merger progresses. Income Taxes Income taxes increased from a credit of $113,000 for the three months ended December 31, 1999 to expense of $70,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2000 due to the increase in earnings before income taxes. The Bank has a net operating loss carryforward for Federal income tax purposes of $1,981,000 which expires in 2020. <PAGE 9> PERRY COUNTY FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY PART II - Other Information Item 1 - Legal Proceeding There are no material legal proceedings to which the Holding Company or the Bank is a party or of which any of their property is subject.
