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, 1997 contained in the 1997 Annual Report to Stockholders which is filed as an exhibit to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10- KSB. (2) In February 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share" and SFAS No. 129, "Disclosure of Information about Capital Structure." The Statements supersede APB Opinion No. 15, amend certain other accounting pronouncements, and modify the presentation of earnings per share. The Statements are effective for financial statements for both interim periods and years ending after December 15, 1997. Following is a summary of basic and diluted earnings per common share for the three and six months ended March 31, 1998 and the three and six months ended March 31, 1997, as restated, under SFAS No. 128: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended March 31, March 31, 1998 1997 1998 1997 Net earnings $ 207,450 235,646 407,406 525,043 Weighted-average shares - Basic EPS 774,899 757,338 774,324 769,023 Stock options - treasury stock method 10,187 - 10,187 - Weighted-average shares - Diluted EPS 785,086 757,338 784,511 769,023 Basic earnings per common share $ .27 .31 .53 .68 Diluted earnings per common share $ .26 .31 .52 .68 Options to purchase 70,798 shares of common stock at $19.00 per share were outstanding during the three and six months ended March 31, 1997, but were not included in the computation of diluted EPS since the exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common stock. 4 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. 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 MBS and the average rate paid on deposits, 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 any 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 minimize the adverse effect 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 purchase of short and intermediate term securities and adjustable rate mortgage backed securities. Although the Bank has originated adjustable rate mortgage loans (AMLs) in the past, during the six months ended March 31, 1998, the Bank originated primarily 20-year, fixed rate loans. Management does not anticipate that either financial objectives, strategies or instruments used to manage its interest rate risk exposure will change significantly in the near 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 200 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. Under OTS regulations, an institution's normal level of interest rate risk in the event of this assumed change in interest rates is a decrease in the institution's NPV in an amount not exceeding 2% of the present value of its assets. This procedure for measuring interest rate risk was developed by the OTS to replace the gap analysis (the difference between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities that mature or reprice within a specific time period). 5 PERRY COUNTY FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Year 2000 The Bank is reviewing computer applications with its outside data processing service bureau and other software vendors to ensure operational and financial systems are not adversely affected by "year 2000" software failures. All major customer applications are processed through the outside service bureau. The service bureau has indicated that it expects to modify existing programs to make them year 2000 compliant. Management of the Bank is unable to estimate any additional expense related to this issue. Any year 2000 compliance failures could result in additional expense to the Bank. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Bank's principal sources of funds are cash receipts from deposits, security maturities, principal collections on mortgage-backed securities (MBSs), 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. During November, 1997, the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) lowered the liquidity requirement for savings institutions from 5% to 4% of the liquidity base. The Bank's liquidity ratio exceeded the regulatory requirement at March 31, 1998. The Bank is required to maintain certain minimum capital requirements under OTS regulations. Failure by a savings institution to meet minimum capital requirements can result in certain mandatory and possible discretionary actions by regulators which, 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 capital amounts and classifications are also subject to judgments by the regulators about components, risk-weightings and other factors. The Bank's regulatory capital and minimum capital requirements at March 31, 1998 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 $ 16,302 Stockholders' equity of Company (3,188) Unrealized gain on securities (131) Tangible capital 12,983 15.6% $ 1,250 1.5% General valuation allowance 25 Total capital to risk-weighted assets $ 13,008 67.1% $ 1,550 8.0% $ 1,938 10.0% Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted-assets$ 12,983 67.0% $ 775 4.0% $ 1,163 6.0% Tier 1 capital to total assets $ 12,983 15.6% $ 2,499 3.0% $ 4,166 5.0% Commitments to originate mortgage loans and fund loans in process at March 31, 1998 amounted to $361,000, expiring in 180 days or less. Commitments to purchase securities amounted to $2,000,000 at March 31, 1998. 6 PERRY COUNTY FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Financial Condition Assets increased from $84.1 million at September 30, 1997 to $86.1 million at March 31, 1998. Securities and mortgage-backed securities portfolios decreased $2.5 million and $2.1 million, respectively, from the September 30, 1997 balances. Proceeds from sales, maturity or call of securities, principal collections on loans and MBSs, and net savings deposits were used to fund loans, increase cash and cash equivalents and purchase securities. Loans increased from $13.9 million at September 30, 1997 to $15.3 million at March 31, 1998. The Bank is originating primarily 20-year fixed-rates loans at the present time. Asset Quality Loans are placed on a nonaccrual status when contractually delinquent more than ninety days. There were no nonaccrual loans at September 30, 1997 or March 31, 1998. Following is a summary of the allowance for loan losses: Balance, September 30, 1997 $ 25,000 Charge-offs - Recoveries - Provision for loan losses - Balance, March 31, 1998 $ 25,000 Results of Operation Net Earnings Net earnings decreased from $236,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 to $207,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998. Net earnings decreased from $525,000 for the six months ended March 31, 1997 to $407,000 for the six months ended March 31, 1998. Net earnings for the three months ended March 31, 1998 decreased from the comparable period in 1997 due to lower net interest income and higher noninterest expense. Net earnings for the six months ended March 31, 1998 decreased from the comparable period in 1997 as a result of net gain on sale of securities and MBSs of $135,000, which was recognized during the 1997 period, and higher noninterest expense in 1998. Net Interest Income Net interest income decreased from $584,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 to $566,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998. Net interest income decreased from $1,131,000 for the six months ended March 31, 1997 to $1,123,000 for the six months ended March 31, 1998. Interest income increased as a result of a higher level of loans and other interest-earning assets. 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 a higher average balance of FHLB advances outstanding and a higher weighted-average rate on deposits. 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 7 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, 1997 and 1998. Noninterest Income 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 and MBSs with a carrying value of $2,626,000 were sold at a gain of $140,000. The sales were primarily small balance pools and one collateralized mortgage obligation of $500,000. Noninterest Expense Noninterest expense increased from $208,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 to $234,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998. Noninterest expense increased from $449,000 for the six months ended March 31, 1997 to $470,000 for the six months ended March 31, 1998. The increase was primarily a result of higher compensation and benefits. Compensation and benefits increased largely due to higher ESOP expense, which increased from $40,000 for the six months ended March 31, 1997 to $53,000 for the six months ended March 31, 1998. Under generally accepted accounting principles, expense of the ESOP is affected by changes in the market price of the Bank's stock. SAIF deposit insurance premium for the six months ended March 31, 1998 decreased from the comparable period in 1997 as a result of a lower assessment rate. Other noninterest expense for the six months ended March 31, 1998 increased from the comparable period in 1997 as a result of higher professional services due to operating as a public company. Income Taxes Income taxes decreased due to lower 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.
