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, 1998 contained in the 1998 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 per common share for the three months ended December 31, 1998 and 1997: Three Months Ended December 31, 1998 1997 Net earnings $ 176,919 199,956 Weighted-average shares - Basic EPS 761,847 773,750 Stock options under treasury stock method 1,875 7,682 Weighted-average shares - Diluted EPS 763,722 781,432 Basic earnings per common share $ .23 .26 Diluted earnings per common share $ .23 .26 5 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 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. Although the Bank has originated adjustable rate mortgage loans (AMLs) in the past, recently the Bank has originated primarily 20-year, fixed rate loans. Since April, 1998, the Bank has purchased $13.5 million of 20- and 30-year fixed rate mortgage-backed securities. Advances from the FHLB with a 10-year term, callable in 5 years, were used to fund the purchases. 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 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 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 an outside service bureau which recently completed proxy testing. Other major systems have been tested. Connectivity testing between Bank and vendor systems to ensure continued compatibility is scheduled for March, 1999. The Bank identified certain of its hardware and software that would not be year 2000 compliant and 6 purchased newer equipment and software amounting to $63,000 in 1998. Management is unable to estimate any additional expense related to this issue. Any year 2000 compliance failure 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, 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, 1998. 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, 1998, the Bank was categorized as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. The Bank's regulatory capital and regulatory capital requirements at December 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 $16,692 Stockholders' equity of Company (2,901) Unrealized gain on securities (155) Tangible capital 13,636 14.2% $1,440 1.5% General valuation allowance 25 Total capital to risk-weighted assets $13,661 65.2% $1,676 8.0% $2,096 10.0% Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets $13,636 65.1% $ 838 4.0% $1,257 6.0% Tier 1 capital to total assets $13,636 14.2% $3,839 4.0% $4,798 5.0% Commitments to originate mortgage loans and fund loans in process at December 31, 1998 amounted to $1,063,000, expiring in 180 days or less. Commitments at December 31, 1998 to purchase securities were approximately $2,000,000. 7 Financial Condition Deposits from customers and cash and cash equivalents were used to fund purchases of securities and mortgage-backed securities. Accrued interest payable on deposits decreased due to timing of interest payments. Advances from borrowers for taxes and insurance decreased due to the payment of real estate taxes on behalf of borrowers in December. During the three months ended December 31, 1998 the Company repurchased 11,500 shares of common stock in the open market at a price of $19.625 per share. 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 no nonaccrual loans at December 31, 1998. Following is a summary of activity in the allowance for loan losses: Balance at September 30, 1998 $ 25,000 Charge-offs - Recoveries - Provision for loan loss - Balance at December 31, 1998 $ 25,000 Results of Operation Net Earnings Net earnings decreased from $200,000 for the three months ended December 31, 1997 to $177,000 for the three months ended December 31, 1998. The decrease was due primarily to a decline in net interest income and an increase in noninterest expense, offset by a decrease in income taxes. Net Interest Income Net interest income decreased from $557,000 for the three months ended December 31, 1997 to $533,000 for the three months ended December 31, 1998. Interest income on loans receivable increased as a result of a higher average balance of loans in the 1998 period. Interest on other interest- earning assets increased significantly due to a higher average balance of FHLB daily time deposits. Components of interest income vary from time to time based on the availability and interest rates of loans, securities, MBSs and other interest- bearing assets. Interest on deposits increased due to a higher weighted- average rate, reflecting an increasingly competitive market for retail deposits. Interest on FHLB advances increased due to a higher average balance. 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, 1998 and 1997. 8 Noninterest Income Noninterest income was comparable for the three months ended December 31, 1997 and 1998. Noninterest Expense Noninterest expense increased from $236,000 for the three months ended December 31, 1997 to $248,000 for the three months ended December 31, 1998. The increase was due primarily to higher data processing costs and depreciation on equipment. Income Taxes Income taxes decreased due to lower pretax earnings. 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.
