AND SUBSIDIARY Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) 1. SFB Bancorp, Inc. ----------------- SFB Bancorp, Inc. ("Bancorp") was incorporated under the laws of the State of Tennessee for the purpose of becoming the holding company of Security Federal Bank (the "Bank") in connection with the Bank's conversion from a federally chartered mutual savings bank to a federally chartered stock savings bank, pursuant to its Plan of Conversion. Bancorp commenced on April 14, 1997, a Subscription Offering of its shares in connection with the conversion of the Savings Bank (the "Conversion"). On May 29, 1997 the Conversion was completed. The financial statements of the Bank are presented on a consolidated basis with those of the Bancorp. The consolidated financial statements included herein are for the Bancorp, the Bank and the Bank's wholly owned subsidiary, SFS, Inc. (SFS), herein collectively know as the "Company." The impact of SFS on the consolidated financial statements is insignificant. SFS has no operating activity other than to own stock in a third-party service bureau. 2. Basis of Preparation -------------------- The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-QSB and therefore, do not include all disclosures necessary for a complete presentation of the consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of comprehensive income, consolidated statements of stockholders' equity, and consolidated statements of cash flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. However, all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the interim financial statements have been included. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The statement of income for the three month period ended March 31, 1998 is not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire year. It is suggested that these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the Company for the year ended December 31, 1997 which are included in the Form 10-KSB by reference (file no. 0-22587). 3. Earnings Per Share ------------------ Basic earnings per share amount for the three month period ended March 31, 1998 are based on the average number of shares outstanding throughout the period. No comparative amount has been presented for the three month period ended March 31, 1997, because no shares were 6 outstanding during that period. Unallocated ESOP shares are not considered as outstanding for purposes of this calculation. There is no dilutive effect on earnings per share for the three month period ending March 31, 1998. 4. Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) ------------------------------------ For the three months ending March 31, 1998, compensation related to the ESOP of approximately $24,000 was expensed. Compensation is recognized at the average fair value of the ratably released shares during the accounting period as the employees performed services. At March 31, 1998, the ESOP had approximately 7,669 allocated shares and 53,691 unallocated shares. 5. Asset Quality ------------- The following table sets forth information regarding the Bank's nonperforming loans (i.e., loans which are contractually past due 90 days or more) at December 31, 1997 and March 31, 1998, respectively. As of the dates indicated, the Bank had no loans categorized as troubled debt restructuring within the meaning of SFAS 15. December 31, March 31, 1997 1998 ---- ---- (Dollars in Thousands) Nonaccrual loans $ 209 $ 242 Repossessed real estate - - -------- ------- Total nonperforming assets $ 209 $ 242 ======== ======= Nonperforming loans to net loans .51% .60% Nonperforming assets to total assets .39% .46% 7 Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS General The following discussion and analysis is intended to assist in understanding the financial condition and the results of operations of the Company. References to the "Company" include SFB Bancorp, Inc. and/or Security Federal Bank as appropriate. Comparison of Financial Condition at December 31, 1997 and March 31, 1998 The Company's total consolidated assets decreased by approximately $234,000 or .44% from $53.3 million at December 31, 1997 to $53.1 million at March 31, 1998. The decrease in assets for the period was primarily attributable to a decrease in net loans outstanding as repayments exceeded new loan originations, offset by an increase in cash and interest-earning assets and operating profits. The composition of the Company's balance sheet has not been materially affected by market conditions between December 31, 1997 and March 31, 1998. Net loans decreased $566,000 or 1.4%. The decrease was mainly attributable to normal loan attrition, and decreased demand for the Company's loan products during the period. Interest-earning deposits increased by approximately $247,000 primarily as a result of loan repayments, and subsequent investment of excess funds in overnight accounts and short-term certificates of deposits at the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati. Deposits decreased approximately $518,000 or 1.3% from $40.6 million at December 31, 1997 to $40.1 million at March 31, 1998. The overall decrease in deposits was primarily attributable to customer withdrawals exceeding new deposits and estate withdrawals. The Company's management regularly monitors deposit rates within its market and competes with other institutions for the attraction and retention of deposits based primarily on its need for funds. The Company's primary market is very competitive and the Company's ability to attract and retain deposits is predominantly dependent upon the general rate environment with its market. Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 1997 and 1998 Net Income. Net income increased $15,000 or 10.3% for the for the three months ended March 31, 1998 to $160,000 compared to $145,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997. The increase was primarily the result of an increase in net interest income, offset by an increase in non-interest expense and additional income taxes. The return on average assets was 1.21% for the three months ended March 31, 1998. Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $105,000 or 26.2% from $401,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 to $506,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998. The improvement in net interest income primarily reflects an increase in average interest-earning assets 8 over average interest-bearing liabilities for the Company of $7.4 million or 175% for the three months ended March 31, 1998 as compared to 1997 primarily as a result of the proceeds from the stock offering. The interest rate spread however decreased from 3.09% for three months ending March 31, 1997 to 2.85% for the three months ending March 31, 1998. Interest Income. Total interest income increased $92,000 from $895,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 to $987,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998, as average interest-earnings assets increased approximately $6 million from $46 million at March 31, 1997 to $52 million at March 31, 1998, which was offset by a 17 basis point decrease in the average yield on average interest-earning assets. Interest on loans increased $55,000 or 7.1% and interest on interest-earning deposits increased by $44,000. Interest on investments and mortgage-backed securities declined in aggregate by $7,000 as the portfolio continues to mature and principal payments are received. The Company has utilized the principal payments received on its mortgage-backed securities to fund loan demand, to purchase investment securities and to fund deposit withdrawals. Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $13,000 from $494,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 to $481,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998. The decrease for the three months ending March 31, 1998 was primarily the result of a decrease of $1.6 million in the average balance of deposits outstanding for the three month period in 1998, compared to 1997, and the repayment of FHLB advances, offset by a 8 basis point increase in the average cost of funds. Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses for three month periods ended March 31, 1998 was $8,000 and none for the period ending March 31, 1997. Management regularly performs an analysis to quantify the inherent risk of loss in its portfolio. At March 31, 1998 the ratio of the allowance for loan loss was at a level deemed adequate by management to provide for losses in the loan portfolio. The ratio of allowance for loan loss to non-performing loans at March 31, 1998 was 127.69% and nonperforming loans represented only .46% of total consolidated assets. Non-Interest Income. Non-interest income continues to be an insignificant source of income for the Company. The income is produced by fees on new loan production and service fees on other products and services. Total non-interest income was $40,000 for the three months ending March 31, 1998 and 1997. Non-Interest Expense. Non-interest expense increased by $67,000 from $217,000 for the three months ending March 31, 1997 to $284,000 for 1998. The increase was primarily the result of increased employee benefit expenses of $16,000 and $44,000 of other expenses. The $16,000 increase in employee benefit expenses was attributable to the recognition of ESOP compensation expense. For financial reporting purposes, ESOP shares are recorded at their fair market value as the shares are allocated. The increase in other expenses was mainly attributable to an increase of $35,000 in legal and accounting fees and other expenses paid by the Company for costs incidental to the preparation and filing of year end regulatory reports and documents related to the Company's annual meeting of shareholders. Compensation, net occupancy, deposit insurance premiums, and data processing expenses remained relatively stable during both three month periods. 9 Income Taxes. Income tax expense for the three months ending March 31, 1998 increased $15,000 to $94,000 compared to the same period in 1996. The increase was the result of pre-tax income increasing by $30,000 and additional nondeductible expenses associated with the ESOP. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 1998 was 37% compared to 35.3% for the same period in 1997. Liquidity and Capital Resources. The Company's primary sources of funds are new deposits, proceeds from principal and interest payments on loans, and repayments on mortgage-backed securities. While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans are a predictable source of funds, deposit flows and mortgage prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. The Company's primary investing activity is loan originations. The Company maintains liquidity levels adequate to fund loan commitments, investment opportunities, deposit withdrawals and other financial commitments. At March 31, 1998 there were no material commitments for capital expenditures. Obligations to fund outstanding loan commitments at March 31, 1998 were approximately $651,000. At March 31, 1998 management had no knowledge of any trends, events or uncertainties that will have or are reasonably likely to have material effects on the liquidity, capital resources or operations of the Company. Further at March 31, 1998, management was not aware of any current recommendations by the regulatory authorities which, if implemented, would have such an effect. The Bank exceeded all of its capital requirements at March 31, 1998. The Bank had the following capital ratios at March 31, 1998: For Capital Categorized as Actual Adequacy Purposes "Well Capitalized"(1) ------------------------ ----------------------- ------------------------ Amount Ratio Amount Ratio Amount Ratio ------------ ----------- ----------- ----------- ------------ ----------- As of March 31, 1998: Total Capital (To risk weighted assets) $ 8,957 31.7% $ 2,262 8.00% $ 2,828 10.0% Tier I Capital (To risk weighted assets) $ 8,648 30.6% $ 1,131 4.00% $ 1,697 6.0% Tier I Capital (To total assets) $ 8,648 17.3% $ 848 3.00% $ 1,414 5.0% Tangible Capital (To total assets) $ 8,648 17.3% $ 424 1.50% $ 1,414 5.0% (1) As categorized under the Prompt Corrective Action Provisions. 10 Part II. OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings ----------------- From time to time, the Company and its subsidiaries may be a party to various legal proceedings incident to its or their business. At March 31, 1998, there were no legal proceedings to which the Company or any subsidiary was a party, or to which of any of their property was subject, which were expected by management to result in a material loss.
