Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and transactions of M&F Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Mechanics & Farmers Bank ("M&F Bank"). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and instructions from Regulation S-B. In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation have been included. M&F Bancorp, Inc. became the parent holding company of Mechanics & Farmers Bank on September 1, 1999 therefore prior periods reflect the balances of M&F Bank and its subsidiary. 2. Investment Securities The Company accounts for investment securities using Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities (SFAS 115). Under SFAS 115, the accounting for investment securities held as an asset is dependent upon their classification as held to maturity, available for sale, or trading assets. 3. Loans Loans are carried at their principal amount outstanding, net of the allowance for possible loan losses and deferred fees. Interest on commercial, mortgage and installment loans is accrued and credited to operating income based upon the principal amount outstanding. The Company's policy is to discontinue the accrual of interest when, in management's judgment, circumstances indicate that collection is doubtful. The Company applies Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan (SFAS 114) and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 118, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan - Income Recognition and Disclosures (SFAS 118). 4. Earnings Per Share Earnings per share is calculated on the basis of the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. There were no dilutive potential common shares outstanding for the periods ended September 30, 2000 and September 30, 1999. The shares outstanding have been adjusted for 3-for-2 stock split accounted for as a 50 percent dividend declared on December 14, 1999 to all stockholders of record as of December 14, 1999 payable on January 21, 2000, for all periods presented. 5. Regulatory Capital Requirements The Company is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary-actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company's financial statements. As of 8 9 September 30, 2000 and September 30, 1999 the Company had the following capital levels. Capital Risk Based Tier 1 Tier 2 September 30, 2000 16.00% 14.33% 12.00% December 31, 1999 16.79% 15.14% 10.54% 6. Comprehensive Income Effective January 1, 1999, The Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income ("SFAS 130"). Adoption of this standard requires the Company to (a) classify items of other comprehensive income by their nature in a financial statement and (b) display the accumulated balance of other comprehensive income separately from retained earnings and additional paid-in capital in the equity section of a statement of financial position. 7. Accounting Change Pending Implementation The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement of Financial Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities ("SFAS 133"). This Statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging activities. It requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those instruments at fair value. SFAS 133, as amended by SFAS 137, is effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. Therefore, this statement will become effective January 1, 2001. The Company does not expect adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its financial statements. 8. Common Stock Cash Dividends On March 14, 2000, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.08 per share to all stockholders of record March 14, 2000 payable April 15, 2000. The dividend reduced stockholders equity by $68,298. On June 27, 2000, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a quarterly cash dividend of $.08 per share to all stockholders of record September 13, 2000 payable July 14, 2000. The payment of the cash dividend reduced stockholders' equity by $68,298. On September 26, 2000, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a quarterly cash dividend of $.08 per share to all stockholders of record September 13, 2000 payable October 13, 2000. The payment of the cash dividend reduced stockholders' equity by $68,298. 9. Presentation Certain amounts in 1999 have been reclassified to conform to the 2000 presentation. 9 10 ITEM 2 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations General The following discussion and analysis of earnings and related financial data should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements and related notes to the consolidated condensed statements. It is intended to assist you in understanding the financial condition and the results of operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2000. Forward-Looking Statements When used in this report, the words or phrases "will likely result," "are expected to," "will continue," "is anticipated," "estimate," "project" or other similar expressions are intended to identify "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties including changes in economic conditions in the market area, changes in policies by regulatory agencies, fluctuations in interest rates, demand for loans in the market area, and competition that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical earnings and those presently anticipated or projected. The Company wishes to caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. The Company wishes to advise readers that the factors listed above could affect the Company's financial performance and could cause the company's actual results for future periods to differ materially from any opinions or statements expressed with respect to future periods in any current statements. The Company does not undertake, and specifically disclaims any obligation, to publicly release the result of any revisions which may be made to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or occurrences after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events. Financial Condition Total assets increased 1.71 percent to $160,444,000 at September 30, 2000 from $157,744,000 at December 31, 1999. The investment portfolio balance (including FHLB stock) as of September 30, 2000 was $31,706,000 compared to $32,477,000 at December 31, 1999. The portfolio decrease was caused by an increase in the loan portfolio. Maturities and deposits were used to fund loan demand. The portfolio can be liquidated to meet loan demand if necessary. Approximately 96 and 96 percent of the portfolio were classified as available-for-sale at September 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999. All securities purchased during 2000 were classified in the available-for-sale category. The increase of 9.13 percent in net loans from December 31, 1999 was represented by an increase in commercial real estate mortgage loans. Management continues its effort to add more adjustable rate loans to the portfolio in an effort to reduce the interest rate sensitivity of our loans. This effort is normally achieved in the commercial loans most of which are primarily secured by real estate. 10 11 Deposits decreased 0.35 percent to $129,079,000 at September 30, 2000 from $129,529,000 at December 31, 1999. Management believes that large deposit growth will be more difficult as customers continue to look for alternative investment opportunities with higher yields. Because of availability of future deposits the Company will continue to seek other sources of liquidity to meet loan demand. Total stockholders' equity increased 6.33 percent to $17,330,000 on September 30, 2000 from $16,299,000 at December 31, 1999. The change in this account was due to year-to-date net income and partially offset by dividends declared. Results of Operations - Comparison three months and nine months ended September 30, 2000 with September 30, 1999 Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 decreased 3.93 percent to $855,000 on September 30, 2000 compared with $890,000 for the same period in 1999. The Company increased the loan loss provision by 65.38 percent from $208,000 to $344,000. The increase was necessary due to increased loan volume, increased classified loans, and a mandated regulatory change for loans in bankruptcy. The Company recognized a 12.93 percent increase in salaries and benefits from the prior year due to a 10 percent increase in staffing levels. This increase was partially impacted by the method and timing of incentive compensation awarded in April 2000. The difference in this category should decline as the year progresses. Net income for the quarter decreased 38.21 percent from $458,000 in the prior year to $283,000 in 2000. While the Company recognized an increase in net interest margin it was impacted by the increase in the loan loss provision. Management increased the monthly loan loss provision beginning in March and anticipates maintaining the higher provision for the remainder of 2000. The provision increased to $134,000 from $12,000 for the same period in the prior year. The incentive compensation also impacted the third quarter of 2000 compared to 1999. Non-performing assets and allowance for loan losses The allowance for loan losses is calculated based upon an evaluation of pertinent factors underlying the types and qualities of the Company's loans. Management considers such factors as the repayment status of a loan, the estimated net realizable value of the underlying collateral, the borrower's ability to repay the loan, current and anticipated economic conditions which might affect the borrower's ability to repay the loan and the Company's past statistical history concerning charge-offs. The September 30, 2000 allowance for loan losses was 1,582,000 or 1.38 percent of total loans outstanding compared with $1,342,000 or 1.28 percent of total loans outstanding at December 31, 1999. Management has considered non-performing assets and total classified assets in establishing the allowance for loan losses. At October 1, 2000 the Company had a single loan for $2,485,000 to default. The loan had been restructured in the previous quarter. Management had already considered the loan in the calculation of the allowance for loan losses. 11 12 The ratio of non-performing assets to total assets is one indicator of the exposure to credit risk. Non-performing assets of the Company consist of non-accruing loans, accruing loans delinquent 90 days or more, foreclosed assets and restructured loans, which have been acquired as a result of foreclosure or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure. 09/30/00 12/31/99 (Dollars in Thousand) Non-Accruing Loans $ 427 518 Accruing Loans Delinquent 90 days or more 767 1,300 Foreclosed Assets 91 56 Restructured Loans 3,144 725 Total Non-Performing Assets $4,429 $2,599 Percentage of total assets 2.76% 1.65% PART II OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1.
