SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements of PHSB Financial Corporation (the "Company") include its wholly-owned subsidiary, Peoples Home Savings Bank (the "Bank") and the Bank's wholly-owned subsidiary, HOMECO (the "Subsidiary"). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The Company's business is conducted principally through the Bank. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not necessarily include all information which would be included in audited financial statements. The information furnished reflects all normal recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair statement of the results of the period. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or any other future period. The unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2002. Recent Accounting Standards In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, which requires that the fair value of a liability be recognized when incurred for the retirement of a long-lived asset and the value of the asset be increased by that amount. The statement also requires that the liability be maintained at its present value in subsequent periods and outlines certain disclosures for such obligations. The adoption of this statement, which was effective January 1, 2003, did not have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations. In April 2002, the FASB issued FAS No. 145, Rescission of FASB Statement No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections. FAS No. 145 rescinds FAS No. 4, which required all gains and losses from extinguishment of debt to be aggregated and, if material, classified as an extraordinary item, net of related income tax effect. As a result, the criteria in APB Opinion No. 30 will now be used to classify those gains and losses. This statement also amends FAS No. 13 to require that certain lease modifications that have economic effects similar to sale-leaseback transactions be accounted for in the same manner as sale-leaseback transactions. This statement also makes technical corrections to existing pronouncements, which are not substantive but in some cases may change accounting practice. The provisions of this statement related to the rescission of FAS No. 4 shall be applied in fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002. Any gain or loss on extinguishments of debt that was classified as an extraordinary item in prior periods presented that does not meet the criteria in APB Opinion No. 30 for classification as an extraordinary item shall be reclassified. Early adoption of the provisions of this statement related to FAS No. 13 shall be effective for transactions occurring after May 15, 2002. All other provisions of this statement shall be effective for financial statements issued on or after May 15, 2002. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations. In July 2002, the FASB issued FAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities, which requires companies to recognize costs associated with exit or disposal activities when 8 they are incurred rather than at the date of a commitment to an exit or disposal plan. This statement replaces EITF Issue No. 94-3, Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (Including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring). The new statement is effective for exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations. On December 31, 2002, the FASB issued FAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure, which amends FAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. FAS No. 148 amends the disclosure requirements of FAS No. 123 to require more prominent and more frequent disclosures in financial statements about the effects of stock-based compensation. Under the provisions of FAS No. 123, companies that adopted the preferable, fair value based method were required to apply that method prospectively for new stock option awards. This contributed to a "ramp- up" effect on stock-based compensation expense in the first few years following adoption, which caused concern for companies and investors because of the lack of consistency in reported results. To address that concern, FAS No. 148 provides two additional methods of transition that reflect an entity's full complement of stock-based compensation expense immediately upon adoption, thereby eliminating the ramp-up effect. FAS No. 148 also improves the clarity and prominence of disclosures about the pro forma effects of using the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based compensation for all companies--regardless of the accounting method used--by requiring that the data be presented more prominently and in a more user-friendly format in the footnotes to the financial statements. In addition, the statement improves the timeliness of those disclosures by requiring that this information be included in interim as well as annual financial statements. The transition guidance and annual disclosure provisions of FAS No. 148 are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002, with earlier application permitted in certain circumstances. The interim disclosure provisions are effective for financial reports containing financial statements for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2002. The following table represents the effect on net income and earnings per share had the stock-based employee compensation expense been recognized: Three months ended, March 31, 2003 2002 ------------- ----------- Net income as reported $651,824 $662,068 Less pro forma expense related to options 36,844 46,840 ------------- ----------- Pro forma net income $614,980 $615,228 ============= =========== Basic net income per common share: As reported $ 0.24 $ 0.20 Pro forma 0.22 0.19 Diluted net income per common share: As reported $ 0.23 $ 0.20 Pro forma 0.22 0.19 In April, 2003, the FASB issued FAS No. 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. This statement amends and clarifies accounting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities under FAS No. 133. The amendments set forth in FAS No. 149 improve financial reporting by requiring that contracts with comparable characteristics be accounted for similarly. In particular, this statement clarifies under what circumstances a contract with an initial net investment meets the characteristic of a derivative as discussed in FAS No. 133. In addition, it clarifies when a derivative contains a financing component that warrants special reporting in the statement of cash flows. FAS No. 149 amends certain other existing 9 pronouncements. Those changes will result in more consistent reporting of contracts that are derivatives in their entirety or that contain embedded derivatives that warrant separate accounting. This statement is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003, except as stated below and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. The guidance should be applied prospectively. The provisions of this statement that relate to FAS No. 133 Implementation Issues that have been effective for fiscal quarters that began prior to June 15, 2003, should continue to be applied in accordance with their respective effective dates. In addition, certain provisions relating to forward purchases or sales of when- issued securities or other securities that do not yet exist, should be applied to existing contracts as well as new contracts entered into after June 30, 2003. In November, 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others. This interpretation elaborates on the disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements about its obligations under certain guarantees that it has issued. This interpretation clarifies that a guarantor is required to disclose (a) the nature of the guarantee, including the approximate term of the guarantee, how the guarantee arose, and the events or circumstances that would require the guarantor to perform under the guarantee; (b) the maximum potential amount of future payments under the guarantee; (c) the carrying amount of the liability, if any, for the guarantor's obligations under the guarantee; and (d) the nature and extent of any recourse provisions or available collateral that would enable the guarantor to recover the amounts paid under the guarantee. This interpretation also clarifies that a guarantor is required to recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the obligations it has undertaken in issuing the guarantee, including its ongoing obligation to stand ready to perform over the term of the guarantee in the event that the specified triggering events or conditions occur. The objective of the initial measurement of that liability is the fair value of the guarantee at its inception. The initial recognition and initial measurement provisions of this interpretation are applicable on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002, irrespective of the guarantor's fiscal year-end. The disclosure requirements in this interpretation are effective for financial statements of interim or annual periods ending after December 15, 2002. The adoption of this interpretation did not have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations. In January, 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, in an effort to expand upon and strengthen existing accounting guidance that addresses when a company should include in its financial statements the assets, liabilities and activities of another entity. The objective of this interpretation is not to restrict the use of variable interest entities but to improve financial reporting by companies involved with variable interest entities. Until now, one company generally has included another entity in its consolidated financial statements only if it controlled the entity through voting interests. This interpretation changes that by requiring a variable interest entity to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the variable interest entity's activities or entitled to receive a majority of the entity's residual returns or both. The consolidation requirements of this interpretation apply immediately to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003. The consolidation requirements apply to older entities in the first fiscal year or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. Certain of the disclosure requirements apply in all financial statements issued after January 31, 2003, regardless of when the variable interest entity was established. The adoption of this statement has not and is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations. Cash Flow Information The Company has defined cash and cash equivalents as cash and amounts due from depository institutions and interest-bearing deposits with other institutions. 10 For the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, the Company made cash payments for interest of $2,190,000 and $2,214,000 respectively. The Company also made cash payments for income taxes of $37,000 and $37,000 respectively, during these same periods. NOTE 2 - EARNINGS PER SHARE The Company provides dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is calculated utilizing net income as reported as the numerator and average shares outstanding as the denominator. The computation of diluted earnings per share differs in that the dilutive effects of any options, warrants, and convertible securities are adjusted for in the denominator. Shares outstanding do not include ESOP shares that were purchased and unallocated in accordance with SOP 93-6, "Employers' Accounting for Stock Ownership Plans." 11 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations The Private Securities Reform Litigation Act of 1995 contains safe harbor provisions regarding forward- looking statements. When used in this discussion, the words "believes", "anticipates", "contemplates", "expects", and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Those risks and uncertainties include changes in interest rates, risks associated with the effect of opening a new branch, the ability to control costs and expenses, and general economic conditions. On July 30, 2002 the President signed into law the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the Act@). The Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") has promulgated new regulations pursuant to the Act, and additional regulations are expected to be promulgated by the SEC. As a result of the accounting restatements by large public companies, the passage of the Act and regulations implemented by the SEC, publicly-registered companies, such as the Company, are subject to additional and more cumbersome reporting regulations and disclosure. These new regulations, which are intended to curtail corporate fraud, require certain officers to personally certify certain SEC filings and financial statements and require additional measures to be taken by our outside auditors, officers and directors. The loss of investor confidence in the stock market and the new laws and regulations may increase noninterest expenses of the Company and could adversely affect the prices of publicly-traded stocks, such as the Company. On December 20, 2001, PHSB Financial Corporation (the "Company") completed its second step conversion from a mutual holding company structure to a full stock company. As part of the mutual holding company reorganization, the shares formerly held by the mutual holding company were cancelled, the Company sold 2,201,191 new shares to the public and the publicly held shares of PHS Bancorp, Inc., the former middle tier holding company, were exchanged for 1,295,918 shares of the Company. Financial Condition Total assets at March 31, 2003 of $343.5 million represented a decrease of $2.0 million or 0.6% from December 31, 2002. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in securities of $6.0 million, partially offset by decreases in cash and interest bearing deposits of $2.1 million and loans , net of allowance of $1.3 million. At March 31, 2003, investment securities (available for sale and held to maturity) decreased $13.6 million to $32.9 million from $46.5 million at December 31, 2002. Mortgage-backed securities (available for sale and held to maturity) increased $7.6 million to $122.1 million at March 31, 2003 from $114.5 million at December 31, 2002. The total decrease of $6.0 million to the investment and mortgage-backed securities portfolios (available for sale and held to maturity) was the result of sales of $1.3 million, maturities of $15.6 million, and principal repayments of $15.3 million, partially offset by purchases of $26.6 million. Loans receivable,net at March 31, 2003, of $167.0 million represented an increase of $1.3 million from $165.7 million at December 31, 2002. The increase in the loan portfolio was primarily attributable to automobile and commercial lending. 12 Total deposits after interest credited at March 31, 2003 were $237.4 million, an increase of $5.0 million or 2.2% from $232.4 million at December 31, 2002. Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh decreased $4.7 million to $56.3 million at March 31, 2003 from $61.0 million at December 31, 2002. Stockholders' equity decreased $2.5 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2003. This decrease was due to treasury stock and restricted stock purchases of $1.8 million and $848,000 along with decreased accumulated other comprehensive income of $307,000 and cash dividends paid of $303,000. These decreases to stockholders' equity were partially offset by net income of $652,000 along with decreases in unallocated ESOP and RSP shares of $100,000 and $63,000 respectively. Results of Operations Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2003 and March 31, 2002. General. Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2003 decreased by $10,000 to $652,000, from $662,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2002. This decrease was primarily due to decreased net interest income of $81,000 along with increases in provisions for loan losses and noninterest expense of $10,000 and $184,000, respectively. These decreases to net income were partially offset by increased noninterest income of $197,000 and a decrease in income tax provisions of $68,000. Net Interest Income. Reported net interest income decreased $81,000 or 3.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2003. Net interest income on a tax equivalent basis decreased by $22,000 or 0.8% in a period when both average interest earning assets and average interest-bearing liabilities increased (increased $21.7 million and $25.5 million, respectively). The Company's net interest rate spread on a tax equivalent basis decreased 13 basis points to 2.81% for the three months ended March 31, 2003. Interest Income. Reported interest income decreased $114,000 to $4.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003, from $4.9 million for the first quarter of 2002. Interest income on a tax equivalent basis totaled $5.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003, a decrease of $55,000 or 1.1% from $5.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002. This decrease was primarily due to a 49 basis point decrease in the yield earned, partially offset by an increase in the Company's average interest-earning assets of $21.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003. Interest earned on loans increased $296,000 or 10.7%, in 2003. This increase was due to a $25.1 million increase in the average balance of loans partially offset by a 44 basis point decrease in the yield earned. Interest earned on interest-bearing deposits and investment and mortgage-backed securities (including securities held for sale) decreased $351,000 or 15.1%, in 2003. This decrease was due to a decrease in the average balance of securities of $3.4 million along with a 73 basis point decrease in the yield earned. Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $32,000 to $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003. The decrease in interest expense was due to a 36 basis point decrease in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities to 3.21% partially offset by a $25.5 million increase in the average balance of interest-bearing 13 liabilities. The $25.5 million increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities was the result of increased average deposits of $22.4 million and increased average borrowings of $3.1 million. Provision for Losses on Loans. The provision for loan losses is charged to operations to bring the total allowance for loan losses to a level that represents management's best estimates of the losses inherent in the portfolio, based on: o historical experience; o volume; o type of lending conducted by the Bank; o industry standards; o the level and status of past due and non-performing loans; o the general economic conditions in the Bank's lending area; and o other factors affecting the collectibility of the loans in its portfolio. The provision for loan losses increased by $10,000 to $190,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2003, from $180,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2002. An increase in total loans as well as an increase in non-performing loans precipitated the increase in the provision for loan losses. At both March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002 the allowance for loan losses represented 1.01% of loans. See "Risk Elements." Noninterest Income. Total noninterest income increased $197,000 to $430,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2003, from $233,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2002. This increase was primarily due to increased investment security gains of $171,000 from $5,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2002 to $176,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2003. Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense increased $184,000 to $1,873,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2003, from $1,689,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2002. This increase was primarily due to increased compensation and employee benefits of $155,000 which was primarily the result of normal merit increases along with increased RSP expense as a result of the 2002 RSP plan which was ratified by the Company's stockholders at a special meeting of stockholders on December 23, 2002. 14 Liquidity and Capital Resources Liquidity refers to the Company's ability to generate sufficient cash to meet the funding needs of current loan demand, savings deposit withdrawals, and to pay operating expenses. The Company has historically maintained a level of liquid assets in excess of regulatory requirements. Maintaining a high level of liquid assets tends to decrease earnings, as liquid assets tend to have a lower yield than other assets with longer terms (e.g. loans). The Company adjusts liquidity as appropriate to meet its asset/liability objectives. The Company's primary sources of funds are deposits, amortization and prepayment of loans and mortgage-backed securities, maturities of investment securities and funds provided from operations. While scheduled loan and mortgage-backed securities repayments are a relatively predictable source of funds, deposit flows and loan and mortgage-backed securities prepayments are greatly influenced by interest rates, economic conditions and competition. In addition, the Company invests excess funds in overnight deposits, which provide liquidity to meet lending requirements The Company has other sources of liquidity if a need for additional funds arises, such as FHLB of Pittsburgh advances. At March 31, 2003, the Bank had borrowed $56.3 million of it's $155.8 million maximum borrowing capacity with a remaining borrowing capacity of approximately $99.5 million. Additional sources of liquidity can be found in the Company's balance sheet, such as investment securities and unencumbered mortgage-backed securities that are readily marketable. Management believes that the Company has adequate resources to fund all of its commitments. Regulatory Capital Requirements At March 31, 2003, the Bank's Tier I risk-based and total risk-based capital ratios were 24.5% and 25.6%, respectively. Current regulations require Tier I risk-based capital of 6% and total risk - based capital of 10% risk-based assets to be considered well capitalized. The Bank's leverage ratio was 11.5% at March 31, 2003. Current regulations require a leveraged ratio 5% to be considered well capitalized. 15 Risk Elements Nonperforming Assets The following schedule presents information concerning nonperforming assets including nonaccrual loans, loans 90 days or more past due, and other real estate owned at March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002. A loan is classified as nonaccrual when, in the opinion of management, there are serious doubts about collectibility of interest and principal. At the time the accrual of interest is discontinued, future income is recognized only when cash is received. The allowance for loan losses was 278.4% of total non-performing assets at March 31, 2003 and 379.3% at December 31, 2002. March 31, December 31, 2003 2002 ---- ---- (Dollars in Thousands) Loans on nonaccrual basis $557 $371 Loans past due 90 days or more 55 47 ---- ---- Total non-performing loans 612 418 ---- ---- Real estate owned 0 25 ---- ---- Total non-performing assets $612 $443 ==== ==== Total non-performing loans to total loans 0.36% 0.25% ==== ==== Total non-performing loans to total assets 0.18% 0.12% ==== ==== Total non-performing assets to total assets 0.18% 0.13% ==== ==== 16 Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk - ------- --------------------------------------------------------- The Company, like many other financial institutions, is vulnerable to an increase in interest rates to the extent that interest-bearing liabilities generally mature or reprice more rapidly than interest-earning assets. The lending activities of the Company have historically emphasized the origination of long-term, fixed rate loans secured by single family residences, and the primary source of funds has been deposits with substantially shorter maturities. While having interest-bearing liabilities that reprice more frequently than interest-earning assets is generally beneficial to net interest income during a period of declining interest rates, such an asset/liability mismatch is generally detrimental during periods of rising interest rates. To reduce the effect of interest rate changes on net interest income the Company has adopted various strategies to enable it to improve matching of interest-earning asset maturities to interest-bearing liability maturities. The principal elements of these strategies include: (1) purchasing investment securities with maturities that match specific deposit maturities; (2) emphasizing origination of shorter-term consumer loans, which in addition to offering more rate flexibility, typically bear higher interest rates than residential mortgage loans; and (3) purchasing adjustable-rate mortgage-backed securities as well as mortgage-backed securities with balloon payments which have shorter maturities than typical mortgage- backed securities. Although consumer loans inherently generally possess a higher credit risk than residential mortgage loans, the Company has designed its underwriting standards to minimize this risk as much as possible. The Company also makes a significant effort to maintain its level of lower costs deposits as a method of enhancing profitability. The Company has traditionally had a high level of low-cost passbook, interest-bearing checking (NOW) and Money Market Demand Accounts. Although its base of such deposits has increased as a result of the current interest rate environment, such deposits have traditionally remained relatively stable and would be expected to reduce to normal levels in a period of rising interest rates. Because of this relative stability in a significant portion of its deposits, the Company has been able to offset the impact of rising rates in other deposit accounts. Exposure to interest rate risk is actively monitored by management. The Company's objective is to maintain a consistent level of profitability within acceptable risk tolerances across a broad range of potential interest rate environments. The Company uses the Olson Research Associates, Inc.'s, Columbia, Maryland, A/L Benchmarks to monitor its exposure to interest rate risk, which calculates changes in market value of portfolio equity and net interest income. Reports generated from assumptions provided by Olson and modified by management are reviewed by the Interest Rate Risk and Asset Liability Management Committee and reported to the Board of Directors quarterly. The Balance Sheet Shock Report shows the degree to which balance sheet line items and the market value of portfolio equity are potentially affected by a 200 basis point upward and downward parallel shift (shock) in the Treasury yield curve. Exception tests are conducted as recommended under federal law to determine if the bank qualifies as low risk and may therefore be exempt from supplemental reporting. In addition, the possible impact on risk-based capital is assessed using the methodology under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act. An Income Shock Report shows the degree to which income statement line items and net income are potentially affected by a 200 basis point upward and downward parallel shift in the Treasury yield curve. From analysis and discussion of the aforementioned reports as of March 31, 2003, management has assessed that the Bank's level of interest rate risk is appropriate for current market conditions. The percentage change in market value of the portfolio equity for an upward and downward shift of 200 basis points are (19.02)% and 17.51%, respectively. Net interest income decreased by $96,000 or 0.9% for a downward shift in rates of 200 basis points and decreased by $224,000 or 2.2%, for an upward shift of 17 200 basis points. Excess Net Interest Rate Risk was within those limits outlined in the Bank's Asset/Liability Management and Interest Rate Risk Policy. The Bank's calculated (total) risk-based capital before the interest rate risk impact was 25.55 % and 20.55% after the interest rate risk impact. Results fall within policy limits for all applicable tests. Item 4. Controls and Procedures - ------- ----------------------- (a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
