Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Bedford Bancshares, Inc. (the "Corporation"), Bedford Federal Savings Bank (the "Bank"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Corporation, and First Financial Enterprises, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Bank. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for the fair presentations have been included. The results of operations for the interim periods ended June 30, 1995 and 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for any future period. For further information, refer to consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended September 30, 1995. -4- MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FINANCIAL CONDITION Total assets of the Corporation were $121.8 million at June 30, 1996, an increase of $6.7 million from September 30, 1995. A $5.8 million rise in loan receivables, primarily in mortgage loans, to $103.5 million at June 30, 1996 accounted for most of the increase. Funding for the asset growth was mainly provided by increases in deposits and FHLB borrowings. Stockholders' equity was $18.5 million on June 30, 1996, compared to $18.7 million on September 30, 1995, as the net income of $1.2 million was more than offset by the payment of $401,000 in dividends, stock repurchases of $824,000 and $484,000 of shares acquired by the RRP Plan. At June 30, 1996, nonperforming assets were $1,034,000, or .85% of total assets compared to $1,312,000, or 1.14% of total assets at September 30, 1995. During the third quarter of fiscal 1996, $452,000 of residential real estate loans were classified nonperforming. The addition of these loans to nonperforming status was more than offset by the $1.0 million shopping center loan which had been classified as a nonperforming asset at September 30, 1995 but was current at June 30, 1996. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS COMPARISON OF NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 AND 1996 General. For the nine months ended June 30, 1996, net income amounted to $1.2 million compared to $1.1 million for the same period of fiscal 1995. Expansion of both net interest and noninterest income was partially offset by growth of noninterest expense. A higher level of interest earning assets and an improvement in the net interest margin were the primary reasons for the increase in net interest income. Interest Income. Interest income totaled $6.9 million for the nine months ended June 30, 1996, a rise of 14.9% from the $6.0 million earned in the comparable period of fiscal 1995. A rise of 7.47% in average outstanding loans for the nine months ended June 30, 1996 compared to the same period of 1995 was the principal reason for the increase in interest income. Interest Expense. For the nine months ended June 30, 1996, interest expense amounted to $3.3 million, a 22.4% rise over the same nine months of fiscal 1995. A higher level of average interest bearing deposits and borrowed funds was responsible for the increase in interest expense. Net Interest Income. Net interest income for the nine months ended June 30, 1996 of $3.6 million was 8.8% higher than in the same nine months of fiscal 1995. A three basis point improvement in the net interest margin combined with the 8.00% rise in average earning assets were primary factors in the increase. Provision for Credit Losses. Based on management's ongoing evaluation of, among other things, the Bank's loan portfolio, market conditions, the Bank's market area and the current level of the allowance for credit losses, no additional provision for credit losses was needed during the nine months ended June 30, 1996. For the same nine month period of fiscal 1995, a provision for credit losses of $15,000 was recorded. The determination of the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses involves subjective judgements regarding future events and, therefore, there can be no assurance that additions to the allowance for credit losses will not be required in future periods. Management will continue to -5- evaluate the level of the allowance for credit losses based on, among other things, growth of the loan portfolio, loan delinquency rates and general market conditions. There can be no assurances, however, that additional provisions will be required in future periods. Total Noninterest Income. Noninterest income rose to $508,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 1996 from $415,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 1995. The increase was focused in customer service fees related to NOW accounts. In addition, a $27,000 gain realized on the sale of foreclosed real estate during the first nine months of fiscal 1996, compared to a loss of $8,000 in the same period of fiscal 1995, added to the increase. Total Noninterest Expense. For the nine months ended June 30, 1996, noninterest expense amounted to $2.2 million compared to $1.9 million for the same nine months of fiscal 1995. Personnel compensation and benefits increased due to staff increases, the rising cost of benefits and general merit increases. Occupancy and equipment costs rose primarily due to expenses related to the installation and operation of three freestanding ATMs. Other expenses increased due to higher Federal Reserve processing charges and the cost of technical support for the ATMs. Provision for Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes increased for the nine months ended June 30, 1996, to $721,000 from $675,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 1996 due to the increased profitability of the Corporation. COMPARISON OF THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 AND 1996 General. Net income for the three months ended June 30, 1996 was $424,000, a 17.8% increase from the $360,000 earned in the same quarter of fiscal 1995. An increase of $87,000 in net interest income combined with a $54,000 rise in noninterest income accounted for the expansion. Partially offsetting the increase was a $58,000 increase in noninterest expense. Interest Income. Total interest income amounted to $2.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 1996 up from the $2.1 million earned in the comparable quarter of fiscal 1995. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the average balance of loans receivable to $100.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 from $92.4 million for the same period of 1995. This increase reflects the Corporation's continuing success in originating mortgage loans. In addition, the average balance of investments increased to $13.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 1996 from $11.0 million during the same quarter of fiscal 1995. Interest Expense. For the three months ended June 30, 1996, total interest expense rose to $1.1 million from the $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 1995,primarily due to an increase in the average balance of interest bearing liabilities to $93.9 million for the third quarter of fiscal 1996 from $86.1 million for the same quarter of fiscal 1995. The average balance of borrowings increased $1.3 million from $4.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 1995 to $6.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 1996. Net Interest Income. For the three months ended June 30, 1996, net interest income was $1.2 million, an increase of $87,000 over the net interest income recorded for the same three months of fiscal 1995. A 7.81% increase in average earning assets for the three months ended June 30, 1996 over the same period for fiscal 1995 was the major factor in the improvement. Provision for Credit Losses. There was no provision for credit losses taken during the three months ended June 30, 1996 compared to a provision of $8,000 recorded in the same three months of -6- fiscal 1995. See the discussion of Provision for Credit Losses contained on pages 5 and 6 contained elsewhere herein. Total Noninterest Income. Noninterest income totaled $191,000 for the third quarter of fiscal 1996 compared to $137,000 for the same three month period of fiscal 1995. Service charges and fees on loans increased $37,000 due to the increased level of loans closed during the three months ended June 30, 1996, while other customer service fees and commissions rose $15,000 due primarily to growth of and increased activity in deposit accounts. Total Noninterest Expense. Total noninterest expense was $715,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1996, up $58,000 from the $657,000 total for the comparable quarter of fiscal 1995. Occupancy and equipment expenses were up $24,000 and other expenses were up $36,000 primarily due to costs associated with the installation and operation of ATMs. Provision for Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes was $260,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1996 compared to a provision of $233,000 for the same three months of fiscal 1995. The increase was due to the increased profitability of the Corporation. Capital Compliance. The following table presents the Bank's compliance with its regulatory requirements of June 30, 1996. (Dollar amounts in thousands). June 30, 1996 Percentage Amount of assets (Dollars in thousands) GAAP Capital................................. $15,699 12.81% ====== ===== Tangible capital............................. $15,632 12.78% Tangible capital requirement ................ 1,835 1.50 ------ ----- Excess....................................... $13,797 11.28% ====== ===== Core capital................................. $15,632 12.78% Core capital requirement..................... 3,669 3.00 ------ ----- Excess....................................... $11,963 9.78% ====== ===== Total risk-based capital (1)................. $16,212 24.09% Total risk-based capital requirement (1)..... 5,385 8.00 ------ ----- Excess....................................... $10,827 16.09% ====== ===== - --------------- (1) Based on risk-weighted assets of $67,311 Management believes that under current regulations, the Bank will continue to meet its minimum capital requirements in the foreseeable future. Events beyond the control of the Bank, such as increased interest rates or a downturn in the economy in areas in which the Bank operates could adversely affect future earnings and as a result, the ability of the Bank to meet its future minimum capital requirements. -7- The Bank's liquidity is a measure of its ability to fund loans, pay deposit withdrawals, and other cash outflows in an efficient, cost effective manner. The Bank's primary source of funds are deposits and scheduled amortization and prepayment of loans. During the past several years, the Bank has used such funds primarily to fund maturing time deposits, pay savings withdrawals, fund lending commitments, purchase new investments, and increase liquidity. The Bank funds its operations internally but also borrows funds from the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") of Atlanta. As of June 30, 1996, such borrowed funds totaled $8.0 million. Loan payments and maturing investments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. The Bank is required under Federal regulations to maintain certain specified levels of "liquid investments," which include certain United States government obligations and other approved investments. Current regulations require the Bank to maintain liquid assets of not less than 5% of net withdrawable accounts plus short term borrowings. Short term liquid assets must consist of not less then 1% of such accounts and borrowings, which amount is also included within the 5% requirement. Those levels may be changed from time to time by the regulators to reflect current economic conditions. The Bank has generally maintained liquidity far in excess of regulatory requirements. The Bank's regulatory liquidity was 8.46% and 7.85% at June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively, and its short term liquidity was 3.51% and 2.08% at such dates, respectively. The amount of certificate accounts which are scheduled to mature during the next twelve months ending June 30, 1997, is approximately $38.7 million. To the extent that these deposits do not remain at the Bank upon maturity, the Bank believes that it can replace these funds with other deposits, excess liquidity, FHLB advances, or other borrowings. It has been the Bank's experience that a substantial portion of such maturing deposits remain at the Bank. At June 30, 1996, the Bank had loan commitments outstanding of $3.1 million and no commitments to purchase mortgage-backed or investment securities. Funds required to fill these commitments are derived primarily from current excess liquidity, deposit inflows, borrowings or loan and investment repayments. Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices The consolidated financial statements of the Corporation and notes thereto, presented elsewhere herein, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, which requires the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The impact of inflation is reflected in the increased cost of the Corporation's operations. Unlike most industrial companies, nearly all of the assets and liabilities of the Corporation are financial. As a result, interest rates have a greater impact on the Corporation's performance than do the general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the prices of goods and services. Potential One-Time Assessment The FDIC charges an annual assessment for the insurance of deposits based on the risk that a particular institution poses to the insurance fund. Under this risk-based system, a thrift pays within a range of 23 to 31 cents per $100 of domestic deposits, depending upon the institution's risk classification. This risk classification is based on an institution's capital group and supervisory subgroup assignment as determined by the FDIC. In addition, the FDIC is authorized to increase such deposit insurance rates, on a semi-annual basis, if it determines that such action is necessary to cause the balance in the SAIF to reach the designated reserve ratio of 1.25% of SAIF-insured deposits within a reasonable period of time. -8- Because the SAIF is currently well below the desired level, pending legislation calls for a one time special assessment of approximately 85 cents per $100 on all SAIF insured deposits at March 31, 1995, in order to recapitalize the SAIF to the designated reserve ratio of 1.25% of its insured deposits. This assessment, if enacted, would cost the Bank approximately $719,000 (before taxes). There can be no assurance as to the final form, if any, of such special assessment. In addition, under the FDICIA, the FDIC may impose special assessments on SAIF members to repay amounts borrowed from the U. S. Treasury or for any other reason deemed necessary. Furthermore, due to the disparity between deposit insurance premiums paid by members of the SAIF (such as the Bank) and members of the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF") (e.g., most commercial banks), the bank may be at a competitive disadvantage as a result of it being required to pay higher premiums as a member of the SAIF. The Bank's Federal deposit insurance premium expense for the nine months ended June 30, 1995 and 1996 amounted to approximately $148,000 and $154,000, respectively. Recent Legislation - Recapture of Post-1987 Bad-Debt Reserves On August 2, 1996, both the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate passed the Small Business Job Protection Act of 1996. This bill will, if signed by the President, among other things, equalize the taxation of thrifts and banks. Previously, thrifts had been able to deduct a portion of their bad-debt reserves set aside to cover potential loan losses ("bad-debt reserves"). Furthermore, the bill will repeal current law mandating recapture of thrifts' bad debt reserves if they convert to banks. Bad debt reserves set aside through 1987 will not be taxed, however, any reserves taken since January 1, 1988 will be taxed over a six year period beginning in 1997. Institutions can delay these taxes for two years if they meet a residential-lending test. At June 30, 1996, the Bank had $505,000 of post 1987 bad-debt reserves. Any recapture of the Bank's bad-debt reserves may have an adverse effect on net income. The Bank is currently evaluating this legislation to determine the effect on the Bank's financial condition. -9- BEDFORD BANCSHARES, INC.
