BASIS OF PRESENTATION In management's opinion, the financial information, which is unaudited, reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial information as of and for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The financial statements include the accounts of KS Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") and its wholly-owned subsidiary, KS Bank, Inc. Operating results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2000. The organization and business of the Company, accounting policies followed by the Company and other information are contained in the notes to the consolidated financial statements filed as part of the Company's 1999 annual report on Form 10-K. This quarterly report should be read in conjunction with such annual report. NOTE B - NET INCOME PER SHARE Net income per share has been computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, employee stock ownership plan shares are only considered outstanding for the basic earnings per share calculations when they are earned or committed to be released. The weighted average number of shares outstanding or assumed to be outstanding are summarized below: Three months ended Nine months ended September 30, September 30, --------------------------- ---------------------------- 2000 1999 2000 1999 ------------ ------------ ------------- ------------ Weighted average number of common shares used in computing basic net income per share 883,569 860,568 894,476 863,092 Effect of dilutive stock options 21,645 87,413 23,471 86,122 ----------- ------------ ------------- ------------ Weighted average number of common shares and dilutive potential common shares used in computing diluted net income per share 905,214 947,981 917,947 949,214 ============ ============ ============= ============ -6- Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- of Operations - ------------- This Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB may contain certain forward-looking statements consisting of estimates with respect to the financial condition, results of operations and business of the Company that are subject to various factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from these estimates. These factors include, but are not limited to, general economic conditions, changes in interest rates, deposit flows, loan demand, real estate values, and competition; changes in accounting principles, policies, or guidelines; changes in legislation or regulation; and other economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory, and technological factors affecting the Company's operations, pricing, products and services. Comparison of Financial Condition at September 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999 Consolidated total assets increased by $11.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2000, from $138.9 million at December 31, 1999 to $150.0 million at September 30, 2000. During the nine months, the Company continued to generate strong loan growth, as net loans increased by $14.5 million to $130.9 million. This loan growth was primarily funded by an increase of $11.0 million in advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank, with the balance of the funding provided from liquid assets. In the aggregate, liquid assets decreased from $18.1 million at December 31, 1999 to $13.8 million at September 30, 2000. Total stockholders' equity was $15.6 million at September 30, 2000 as compared with $15.4 million at December 31, 1999, an increase of $170,000. During the period, the Company repurchased 21,266 shares of common stock under it's stock repurchase plan for $379,000 and paid regular quarterly dividends of $548,000 or $.60 per share. Additionally, during the nine month period, accumulated other comprehensive income, which consists of net unrealized gains and losses on available for sale investment securities, decreased $735,000 due to the realization of previously unrealized gains on securities net of a decrease in the net unrealized loss on securities held throughout the period. These decreases to stockholders' equity were offset by the Company's net income for the nine months of $1.8 million and earned ESOP compensation of $36,000, which was credited to common stock. At September 30, 2000, both the Company and the Bank continued to significantly exceed all applicable regulatory capital requirements. Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 Net Income. Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2000 was $1.1 million, or $1.27 per share, as compared with net income of $374,000, or $.43 per share, for the three months ended September 30, 1999, an increase of $745,000 or $.84 per share. This increase resulted principally from the gain on sale of investments discussed in the Other Income caption below. Net Interest Income. Net interest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2000 was $1.3 million as compared with $1.2 million during the quarter ended September 30, 1999, an increase of $64,000. This increase resulted principally from an increased level of interest earning assets during the current quarter, primarily loans, which have higher yields than do other types of interest earning assets. Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses was $54,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2000 while there were net loan charge-offs of $14,000. There was no provision for loan losses and only minimal net loan charge-offs during the quarter ended September 30, 1999. At September 30, 2000, non-accrual loans aggregated $452,000, while the allowance for loan losses stood at $441,000. -7- Other Income. Other income was $1.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2000 as compared with $80,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1999, an increase of $1.3 million, which resulted from gains realized on the sale of investment securities. Other Expenses. Other expenses increased to $829,000 during the quarter ended September 30, 2000 as compared with $740,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1999, an increase of $89,000. The increase resulted primarily from an increase in salaries and employee benefits of $84,000 as personnel additions were made subsequent to the quarter ended September 30, 1999. Provision for Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes, as a percentage of income before income taxes, was 37.9% and 34.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Comparison of Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 Net Income. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 was $1.8 million, or $1.98 per share, as compared with net income of $1.0 million, or $1.18 per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, an increase of $751,000. This increase resulted primarily from the gain on sale of investment securities of $1.3 million, net of taxes of approximately $480,000. Net Interest Income. Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 was $3.9 million as compared with $3.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 1999. This increase of $326,000 resulted principally from an increased level of interest earning assets during the current nine months, primarily loans, which have higher yields than do other types of interest earning assets. Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses was $64,000 and $32,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. There were net loan charge-offs of $15,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2000. Net charge-offs during the nine months ended September 30, 1999 were minimal. At September 30, 2000, non-accrual loans aggregated $452,000, while the allowance for loan losses stood at $441,000. Other Income. Other income was $1.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 as compared with $266,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, an increase of $1.4 million resulting principally from gains on the sale of investment securities of $1.3 million. Other Expenses. Other expenses increased to $2.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2000 as compared with $2.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1999, an increase of $415,000. The increase resulted primarily from an increase in salaries and employee benefits of $352,000 as personnel additions were made subsequent to the nine-month period ended September 30, 1999. Other operational and facility costs experienced increases associated with the Company's continued growth. Provision for Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes, as a percentage of income before income taxes, was 38.1% and 37.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. -8- Liquidity and Capital Resources The objective of the Company's liquidity management is to ensure the availability of sufficient cash flows to meet all financial commitments and to capitalize on opportunities for expansion. Liquidity management addresses KS Bank's ability to meet deposit withdrawals on demand or at contractual maturity, to repay borrowings as they mature, and to fund new loans and investments as opportunities arise. The primary sources of internally generated funds are principal and interest payments on loans receivable and cash flows generated from operations. External sources of funds include increases in deposits and advances from the FHLB of Atlanta. As a North Carolina-chartered savings bank, KS Bank must maintain liquid assets equal to at least 10% of assets. The computation of liquidity under North Carolina regulations allows the inclusion of mortgage-backed securities and investments with readily marketable value, including investments with maturities in excess of five years. KS Bank's liquidity ratio at September 30, 2000, as computed under North Carolina regulations, was approximately 9.2%. On a consolidated basis, liquid assets also represent approximately 9.2% of total assets. Management believes that it will have sufficient funds available to meet its anticipated future loan commitments as well as other liquidity needs. As a North Carolina-chartered savings bank, KS Bank is subject to the capital requirements of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") and the North Carolina Administrator of Savings Institutions ("N. C. Administrator"). The FDIC requires state-chartered savings banks to have a minimum leverage ratio of Tier I capital (principally consisting of common shareholders' equity, noncumulative perpetual preferred stock, and a limited amount of cumulative perpetual preferred stock, less certain intangible assets) to total assets of at least 3%; provided, however, that all institutions, other than those (i) receiving the highest rating during the examination process and (ii) not anticipating or experiencing any significant growth, are required to maintain a ratio of 1% or 2% above the stated minimum. The FDIC also requires KS Bank to have a ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets of at least 8%, of which at least 4% must be comprised of Tier I capital. The N. C. Administrator requires a net worth equal to at least 5% of total assets. At September 30, 2000, KS Bank exceeded the capital requirements of both the FDIC and the N. C. Administrator. -9- Part II.
