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, 1996 contained in the 1996 Annual Report to Stockholders which is filed as an exhibit to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10- KSB. 5 PERRY COUNTY FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations 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. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Bank's principal sources of funds are cash receipts from deposits, security maturities, principal collections on mortgage-backed and related 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. For regulatory purposes, liquidity is measured as a ratio of cash and certain investments to withdrawable deposits. The minimum level of liquidity required by regulation is presently 5%. The Bank's regulatory liquidity ratio was approximately 25% at March 31, 1997. The Bank is required to maintain certain minimum capital requirements under OTS regulations. Failure by a savings institution to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Bank's financial statements. 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. The Bank's regulatory capital and minimum capital requirements at March 31, 1997 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) Total capital to risk-weighed assets $ 12,473 73.7% $ 1,354 8% $ 1,693 10% Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets 12,449 73.5% 677 4% 1,016 6% Tier 1 capital to total assets 12,449 15.93% 2,344 3% 3,907 5% Tangible capital to tangible assets $ 12,449 15.93% $ 1,172 1.5% $ - - 6 PERRY COUNTY FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Commitments to originate mortgage loans at March 31, 1997 amounted to $508,000. During the six months ended March 31, 1997, the Company repurchased $762,000 in treasury stock. 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. Financial Condition Assets decreased from $81.1 million at September 30, 1996 to $79.7 million at March 31, 1997. Securities available for sale decreased from $34.3 million at September 30, 1996 to $32.4 million at March 31, 1997 due to the sale, maturity or call of securities. Proceeds from sales, maturity or call were used to fund loans and deposit withdrawals. Loans increased from $11.7 million at September 30, 1996 to $12.4 million at March 31, 1997. The Bank is originating primarily 20-year fixed-rates loans at the present time. Other liabilities decreased as a result of payment of the one-time SAIF assessment of $393,000. Other assets decreased as a result of reversal of the deferred tax asset for the SAIF special assessment. The special assessment was recorded as of September 30, 1996, but not deductible until actually paid in the quarter ended December 31, 1996. During the six months ended March 31, 1997, the Company repurchased 44,080 shares of common stock in the open market at an average price of $17.30 per share. Asset Quality Loans are placed on a nonaccrual status when contractually delinquent more than ninety days. There were no nonaccrual loans at September 30, 1996 and $39,000 of nonaccrual loans at March 31, 1997. The interest not recognized and interest recognized on such loans for the six months ended March 31, 1997 was $1,300 and $400, respectively. Following is a summary of the allowance for loan losses: Balance, September 30, 1996 $ 25,000 Charge-offs - Recoveries - Provision for loan losses - Balance, March 31, 1997 $ 25,000 Results of Operation Net Earnings Net earnings increased from $177,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 to $236,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997. Net earnings increased from $355,000 for the six months ended March 31, 1996 to $525,000 for the six months ended March 31, 1997. The increases for the three and six months ended March 31, 1997 over the comparable prior periods were due to higher net interest income and lower noninterest expense offset by higher income taxes. The six months ended March 31, 1997 also includes a net gain on sale of securities and mortgage-backed and related securities of $135,000. Such gains are not a stable source of income and no assurance can be given that the Company will realize gains in the future. 7 Net Interest Income Net interest income increased from $536,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 to $584,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997. Net interest income increased from $1,053,000 for the six months ended March 31, 1996 to $1,131,000 for the six months ended March 31, 1997. Interest income increased as a result of a higher level of loans. Loans receivable, net have increased substantially in recent years. Components of interest income vary from time to time based on the availability and interest rates of loans, securities, mortgage-backed securities (MBSs), and other interest-bearing assets. Interest expense increased as a result of interest paid on FHLB advances. 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 and six months ended March 31, 1996 and 1997. Noninterest Income During the three months ended March 31, 1996, securities available for sale with a carrying value of $1.0 million were sold at a gain of $2,500. During the six months ended March 31, 1997, securities available for sale with a carrying value of $1.0 million were sold at a loss of $5,000. During the six months ended March 31, 1997, mortgage-backed and related securities with a balance of $2,626,000 were sold for $2,766,000, resulting in a gain of $140,000. The sales were primarily small balance pools and one collateralized mortgage obligation of $500,000. Noninterest Expense Noninterest expense decreased from $277,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 to $208,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997. Noninterest expense decreased from $518,000 for the six months ended March 31, 1996 to $449,000 for the six months ended March 31, 1997. The decrease was primarily a result of lower compensation and benefits, SAIF deposit insurance premium, professional services and other noninterest expense. Compensation and benefits decreased due to fewer employees in 1997, offset by an increase in the Management Recognition Plan (MRP) expense. The MRP was implemented in January, 1996. SAIF deposit insurance premium decreased as a result of a substantially lower assessment rate. The special assessment recorded at September 30, 1996 recapitalized the fund. Recurring SAIF premiums are expected to be assessable based on an annual revised rate of 6.48 basis points of deposits. Professional services decreased as a result of legal services provided in conjunction with the Bank's benefit plans in the 1996 periods. Other noninterest expense was reduced primarily due to lower annual meeting expenses. Income Taxes Income taxes increased due to higher earnings before income taxes. 8 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.
