MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Forward-Looking Statements
The Private Securities Litigation Reform 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, the ability to control costs
and expenses, and general economic conditions. WHG Bancshares Corporation
undertakes no obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions to
those forward-looking statements which may be made to reflect events or
circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of
unanticipated events.
Overview
For the quarter ended June 30, 1999, the Company earned $227,000, or
$.18 diluted earnings per share, as compared to net earnings of $197,000, or
$.15 diluted earnings per share, for the comparative 1998 quarter. For the nine
months ended June 30, 1999, the Company earned $539,000, or $.44 diluted
earnings per share, as compared to net earnings of $470,000, or $.37 diluted
earnings per share, for the comparable 1998 period.
Financial Condition
Total assets of the Company were $153,064,000 as of June 30, 1999,
compared to $132,876,000 as of September 30, 1998, an increase of $20,188,000,
or 15.19%. The increase was primarily attributable to increases in investments
available for sale of $4,931,000, mortgage backed securities of $11,171,000. The
aforementioned increases were partially funded by a decrease in interest-bearing
deposits in other banks of $7,466,000 and Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB")
advances of $3,000,000. The net increase in the Company's assets was primarily
the result of management's continued strategy to maximize the high level of
equity, diversify the Company's balance sheet and increase profitability.
On April 1, 1999, Heritage Savings Bank, F.S.B. (the "Bank") paid $5.0
million in cash and assumed the remaining assets and liabilities of Bankers
Affiliate, Inc. ("BA"). Additionally, the Bank retired a $2,500,000 note to BA
following the purchase of the remaining interest of the affiliate company. Prior
to the purchase, the Bank had a 33-1/3% investment in BA. The purchase of BA
increased the Bank's loan portfolio by approximately $7.3 million.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Continued
Financial Condition - Continued
At June 30, 1999, the Company's investment securities available for
sale portfolio totaled $20.1 million, or 13.1%, of the Company's total
consolidated assets. Pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles, such
securities are recorded at current market value and the change in net unrealized
gains or losses on such securities are excluded from current earnings and
reported net of income taxes as part of comprehensive income. At June 30, 1999
and September 30, 1998, due to increases in market rates, unrealized losses for
such securities were approximately $1.2 million and $166,000, respectively.
Because of interest rate volatility, the Company's accumulated other
comprehensive income (which is comprised solely of net unrealized holding gains
and losses) and stockholders' equity could materially fluctuate for each interim
period and year-end period. The majority of the unrealized losses resulted from
the Company's investment in FHLB bonds. See Note 3 to the consolidated financial
statements.
Total liabilities of the Company were $137,456,000 as of June 30, 1999,
compared to $116,634,000 as of September 30, 1998, an increase of $20,822,000 or
17.85%. The increase was primarily the result of increases in deposits,
primarily certificates of deposit, of $17,370,000, and borrowings of $2,063,000.
The Company's successful advertising campaign in 1998 for certificate of deposit
products contributed to the continued growth in deposit balances. During the
quarter ended June 30, 1999, the Bank borrowed an additional $3,000,000 in long
term FHLB advances. Management's strategy is to take advantage of the low costs
of funds and invest the proceeds in higher yielding investments.
Stockholders' equity was $15,607,000 as of June 30, 1999, compared to
$16,243,000 as of September 30 1998, a decrease of $636,000. The decrease was
the result of an aggregate $409,000 repurchase of the Company's stock, a
$689,000 increase in accumulated other comprehensive income, and dividends
declared totaling $339,000. The decrease was partially offset by net income for
the period of $539,000 and the allocation of shares to the Stock Based Benefit
and Bonus Plans of $263,782.
Results of Operations
Interest Income
Total interest income for the nine and three months ended June 30, 1999
was $7,505,000 and $2,666,000, respectively, compared to $6,065,000 and
$2,321,000 for the same periods in 1998, an increase of $1,440,000 and $345,000,
respectively. The increase for the nine months ended June 30, 1999 was primarily
due to increases of $15,577,000 and $11,872,000 in the average balance of
investment securities and mortgage backed securities, respectively. In addition,
the average balance of investment securities and mortgage backed securities
increased $3,322,000 and $11,076,000, respectively, for the three months ended
June 30, 1999. Offsetting such increases to interest income for the nine-month
and three month periods ended June 30, 1999 was a 22 and 21 basis point decrease
in the weighted average yield on interest-earning assets. The weighted average
yield on interest-earning assets was 7.08% and 7.14% for the nine and
three-month periods ended June 30, 1999, as compared to 7.30% and 7.35% for the
same periods in 1998.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Continued
Interest Expense
Total interest expense for the nine and three months ended June 30,
1999 was $4,657,000 and $1,661,000, respectively, compared to $3,246,000 and
$1,306,000 for the same respective periods in 1998, an increase of $1,411,000
and $355,000. The increases resulted from the rise in the average dollar amount
of time deposits for the nine month and three month periods ended June 30, 1999
of $23,738,000 and $23,575,000, respectively. Interest expense also increased
following the rise in the average dollar amount of borrowings, principally
Federal Home Loan Bank advances, of $10,554,000 and $3,606,000, respectively,
for the nine month and three month periods ended June 30, 1999.
Contributing to the increase in interest expense for the respective
nine month and three month periods was an increase in cost of funds of 24 and 16
basis points. The weighted average rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities
was 4.84% for both the nine and three months ended June 30, 1999, respectively,
as compared to 4.60% and 4.68% for the same periods in 1998.
Provision for Loan Losses
The provision for loan losses for the nine and three month periods
ended June 30, 1999 was $45,000 and $15,000, respectively, as compared to
$180,000 and $50,000 for the same respective periods in 1998. At June 30, 1999
and 1998, non-performing loans were $299,000 and $857,000, respectively.
Management monitors and adjusts its loan loss reserves based upon its
analysis of the loan portfolio. Reserves are increased by a charge to income,
the amount of which depends upon an analysis of the changing risks inherent in
the Company's loan portfolio and the relative status of the real estate market
and the economy in general. The Company has historically experienced a limited
amount of loan charge-offs and delinquencies. At June 30, 1999, management
believes the allowance for loan losses is sufficient since the loans are
adequately secured. The assessment of the adequacy of the allowance for loan
losses involves subjective judgment regarding future events and there can be no
assurance that additional provisions for loan losses will not be required in
future periods.
Other Non-Interest Income
Other income for the nine and three months ended June 30, 1999 was
$183,000 and $36,000, respectively, compared to $214,000 and $80,000 for the
corresponding periods in 1998. The decreases of $31,000 and $44,000 for the
respective nine and three month periods were primarily due to the absence of
commissions and fees from Mapleleaf Mortgage Corporation ("MMC") which ceased
operations during the quarter ended March 31, 1999.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Continued
Non-Interest Expense
Total non-interest expense for the nine months ended June 30, 1999 was
$2,094,000, compared to $2,073,000 for the same period in 1998, an increase of
$21,000 or 1.01%.
Total non-interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 1999 was
$671,000, compared to $724,000 for the same period in 1998, a decrease of
$53,000 or 7.32%. Advertising expense decreased $16,000 for the quarter due to
an aggressive advertising campaign for certificates of deposit during the prior
fiscal year. Professional fees decreased $10,000 due to prior year fees related
to strategic planning that were not incurred in the current year. Other expenses
decreased $31,000 as the result of return check losses of $24,000 experienced in
the prior year. The Bank continues to pursue legal action against the
individuals for repayment.
Provision for Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes increased $42,000 and $4,000 for the
nine and three months ended June 30, 1999, as compared to the same periods in
1998. The increases were the result of an increase in net income.
Year 2000
During fiscal 1998, the Company adopted a Year 2000 compliance plan
(the "Plan") and established a Year 2000 Compliance Committee (the "Committee").
The objectives of the Plan and the Committee are to prepare the Company for the
new millennium. As recommended by the Federal Financial Institutions Examination
Council, the Plan encompasses the following phases: Awareness, Assessment,
Renovation, Validation, and Implementation. These phases will enable the Company
to identify risks, develop an action plan, perform adequate testing and complete
certification that its processing systems will be Year 2000 ready. The Company
has completed all phases of its Y2K preparedness program. After a thorough
review and assessment of the Company's computer operations, all of its computers
were replaced with Y2K compliant equipment and necessary software upgrades were
made. One hundred percent of the new equipment and software packages have been
tested and found to be Y2K compliant. The Company has coordinated with its
vendors and service providers to assure their readiness for Y2K. All testing in
this area has been completed. The Company's contingency Plan has been developed,
approved, and tested to assure uninterrupted service to its customers. Costs
have been incurred due to the replacement of non-compliant teller hardware and
software. As expected, the related overall costs have not been material in any
single year. The Company has determined that the cost associated with addressing
Y2K concerns should not exceed $190,000, employee time not included, which
includes capital expenditures. At June 30, 1999 approximately $184,000 has been
expended. Successful and timely completion of the Year 2000 Project is based on
management's best estimates derived from various assumptions of future events,
which are inherently uncertain, including the progress and results of the
Company's External Provider, testing plans, and all vendors, suppliers, and
customer readiness.
