ITEM 2
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations
Item 2A Financial Condition
Liquidity
Liquid assets (Cash, Federal Funds Sold, Time Deposits with other Financial
Institutions and Investments) decreased $4.9 million to $26.5 million over the
three month period from December 31, 1995 to March 31, 1996. At year-end, total
liquid assets as a percentage of total assets was 33.5% whereas on March 31,
1996 it had decreased to 27.9%.
Cash & due from banks increased $1.0 million over the first three months of 1996
to $9.3 million at March 31, 1996. During the first three months of 1996 cash
and due from banks averaged $9.2 million. The portion of the total cash & due
from banks representing ATM network cash inventory has averaged approximately
$2.6 million during 1996 and at March 31, 1996 ATM cash was approximately $2.1
million . At December 31, 1995, there was approximately $2.7 in ATM network cash
inventory. The Bank continues to minimize ATM cash wherever possible through
more aggressive cash management and the closure of unproductive sites.
The decrease in total liquid assets was a result of a increase in total net
loans outstanding (including loans held for sale) of $6.1 million (10.2%) to
$66.1 million and an increase in deposits of $1.2 million (1.5%) to $85.2
million during the first three months of 1996. Deposits have averaged $82.9
million thus far in 1996 while they averaged $70.2 million during the first
quarter of 1995. Gross loans outstanding have averaged $65.2 million thus far in
1996 as compared to $54.1 million averaged in the first quarter of 1995.
Management believes current liquid assets and current available credit lines are
adequate to cover the working capital requirements of the Company and any
reasonable needs arising from deposit withdrawals.
Capital
Consolidated equity capital plus reserves increased $321,000 in the three months
of 1996 from $9.6 million or 10.06% of total gross assets at December 31, 1995
to $9.9 million or 10.27% of total gross assets at March 31, 1996.
Bank capital plus reserves totaled $9.9 million on March 31, 1996 or 10.23% of
total adjusted assets as compared to capital plus reserves of $9.6 million or
10.03% of total adjusted assets at December 31, 1995. At March 31, 1996 the Bank
maintained a tier one capital ratio of 11.86% and a tier two capital ratio of
13.11%.
(5)
The Bank's capital level continues to exceed State and Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation requirements and satisfies the Federal Reserve Board's current
risk-based capital Guidelines.
The Bank has declared $50,000 in dividends to the Parent company in the first
three months of 1996 and the Company also declared a cash dividend to common
shareholders of $.08 per share in March of 1996. The first quarter dividend
represents eighteen consecutive quarterly cash dividends declared by the Parent
company to shareholders.
Item 2B Results of Operations
Results of Operations
Consolidated operating profits were $343,000 ($.37 per share vs. $.29 in the
prior year) for the first quarter of 1996, the highest first quarter in the
company's history. This represents a $85,000 or 33% increase over the first
quarter of 1995. The first quarter operating profits for 1996 were comprised of
Bank earnings of $356,000 and a Parent company loss (excluding bank dividends
and undistributed earnings) of $13,000.
The increase in first quarter earnings in 1996 versus the first quarter of 1995
is a result of an increase in pretax earnings of $159,000 comprised of: an
increase in net interest income of $200,000 an increase in non interest income
of $162,000 offset in part by an increase in loan loss provisions of $40,000 and
an increase in non interest expense of $163,000.
The growth in net interest income of 15.8% in the first quarter of 1996 as
compared to the first quarter of 1995 is primarily a result of growth in total
earning assets offset in part by a decrease in net interest margin. Average
Earning assets in the first quarter of 1996 were $81.8 million a $13.5 million
or 20.6% increase over the first quarter of 1995 when earning assets averaged
$65.2 million. The $200,000 increase in net interest margin during the first
three months of 1996 was comprised of a $325,000 increase in interest income
offset in part by a $125,000 increase in interest expense over the same period
in 1995. Year to date net interest income to total average earning assets (net
interest margin) has been 7.18% in the first three months of 1996 as compared to
7.43% in the first three months of 1995.
The increase in loan loss provisions in the first three months of 1996 as
compared to 1995 is primarily a result of loan growth of 10.2% and an increase
in nonperforming assets. Non performing assets (consisting entirely of
nonaccrual loans) at March 31, 1996 were $1.42 million or 2.1% of total gross
loans and 92% of loan loss reserves. Non performing assets at March 31, 1995
were $250,000 or .46% of total gross loans and 16% of loan loss reserves. Loan
loss reserves of $1.54 million at March 31, 1996 represent a ratio of 2.26% of
gross loans outstanding as compared to 2.90% at March 31, 1995.
In the first quarter of 1996, the Bank reclassified $662,000 in lease
receivables and notes as nonperforming assets and has suspended accruing
interest on these assets. These assets consist of approximately 150 lease
receivables purchased in 1994 from Bennett Group Funding Inc. ("Bennett") which
declared chapter 11 bankruptcy in March of 1996.
(6)
There have been reports by national news services of alleged fraudulent leases
that were written by Bennett. Bay Area Bancshares, however, is not aware that
any of its Bennett leases are fraudulent. The Company's current information is
that the allegations of fraud are directed at a relatively small percentage of
all Bennett leases. The Company expects to have more information on the
authenticity of these assets by the filing date of the second quarter 10-Q
filing. In the interim the Company believes it to be prudent to reclassify all
Bennett assets to nonperforming status until an official accounting is finished
by the bankruptcy trustee.
The $163,000 increase in non interest expense in 1996 can be attributed to a
$70,000 increase in expenses related to the Bank's EFT department and an $67,000
increase expenses related to the Bank's Mortgage Department. The $162,000
increase in noninterest income can primarily be attributed to a $101,000 or 33%
increase in EFT revenues and a $49,000 increase in Mortgage department premiums
and fees.
The Bank's Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) department operates approximately 50
ATM's throughout the state. The department contributed approximately $36,000 to
pretax income in the first quarter of 1996 as compared to a loss of $2,000 in
the first quarter of 1995.
The Bank's mortgage department revenues for the first three months of 1996
totaled $284,000 (which includes $82,000 in interest income) as compared to
$206,000 (including $53,000 in interest income) in the first three months of
1995. Mortgage department expenses have been $264,000 during the first three
months of 1996 as compared to $197,000 in the first quarter of 1995. The
Mortgage Department's contribution to pretax profits were $20,000 in the first
quarter of 1996 as compared to $10,000 in the first quarter of 1995.
