Heritage Federal Bancshares, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in December 1991 under the laws of the State of Tennessee to become a savings institution holding company with Heritage Federal Bank for Savings ("Heritage Federal" or the "Bank") as its subsidiary. On March 30, 1992, the Bank converted from mutual to stock form as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. In conjunction with the conversion and reorganization, the Company issued 1,495,000 shares of its common stock, par value $1.00 per share (the "Common Stock"), to the public and registered its Common Stock with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In August 1993, the Company's Board of Directors approved a three-for-two stock split, which was effected as a 50% stock dividend and in August 1994 the Board approved a four-for-three stock split, effected as a 33% stock dividend. The Company is classified as a unitary savings and loan holding company subject to regulation by the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") of the Department of the Treasury. Prior to its acquisition of the Bank, the Company had no assets and no liabilities and engaged in no business activities. Since the acquisition, the Company has not engaged in any significant activity other than holding the stock of the Bank and operating the business of a savings bank through the Bank. Accordingly, the information set forth in this report, including financial statements and related data, relates primarily to the Bank and its subsidiary. The executive offices of the Company are located at 110 East Center Street, Kingsport, Tennessee 37660, and its main telephone number is (615) 378-8000. THE BANK. Heritage Federal is a federally-chartered stock savings bank. The Bank was incorporated in 1930 as a Tennessee-chartered building and loan association under the name "Kingsport Savings and Loan Association." The Bank converted to a federally chartered savings and loan association in 1935 and later adopted the name "Heritage Federal Savings and Loan Association." In 1989, the Bank converted to a federally chartered mutual savings bank, adopting its current name. At June 30, 1995, the Bank operated through 13 full-service offices located in six counties in east Tennessee. As discussed below, the Bank sold five branches located in middle Tennessee in fiscal year 1993. The principal business of Heritage Federal consists of accepting deposits from the general public through its branch offices and investing these funds in loans secured by one- to four-family residential properties located in the Bank's market areas. The Bank also maintains a substantial investment portfolio and originates a limited amount of consumer, commercial and commercial real estate loans secured by properties in its market areas. The Bank also offers trust services, and sells title insurance through its wholly-owned subsidiary. As a federally chartered savings bank, the Bank's deposits are insured by the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF"), which is administered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"), up to applicable limits for each depositor. The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") of Cincinnati, which is one of the 12 district banks comprising the FHLB System. The Bank is subject to comprehensive examination, supervision and regulation by the OTS and the FDIC. Such regulation is intended primarily for the protection of depositors. On August 7, 1992, the Bank sold its five branch offices in the middle Tennessee area to Trans Financial Federal Savings Bank of Tennessee. Branches included in the sale were located in Lebanon, Murfreesboro, Franklin, McMinnville, and Cookeville, Tennessee. The Bank received a cash payment in the transaction equivalent to the book value of the assets transferred plus $1 million. No loans were transferred as part of the sale, other than a small amount secured by deposit accounts. Trans Financial Federal Savings Bank assumed approximately $55 million in 2 3 deposits and purchased all premises and equipment related to the branches. The branch sale was pursuant to the Bank's plan to dispose of its less profitable branches and to concentrate on increasing its market share in its primary markets in East Tennessee. In conjunction with this sale, the Bank also wrote off in fiscal year 1993 an additional $637,000 in excess of cost over fair value of net assets acquired. An environmental assessment conducted in connection with the sale of the branches revealed that one location has been contaminated by a release of gasoline from an underground storage tank the Company believes is located on an adjacent property. The Company believes the responsible parties are financially capable of remediating the underground storage tank site and affected adjacent properties, if required, under the oversight of the State of Tennessee, Division of Underground Storage Tanks, in accordance with the Division's clean-up standards. Based on all known information, Heritage Federal expects no third-party liability in this matter and has agreed to indemnify Trans Financial from such liability. In August 1993, the Bank, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Citizens Financial Corporation ("Citizens Financial") entered into an agreement with third-party vendors to sell annuities and securities. The arrangement is one in which the third-party vendors provide all personnel and other resources to sell the annuities and securities and Citizens Financial leases space to the third-party vendors. Citizens Financial received a percentage of the commissions related to the sale of those products and did not assume any risk or any expense other than as to certain supplies and office equipment. This arrangement continued throughout most of fiscal year 1995. The Bank's executive offices are located at 110 East Center Street, Kingsport, Tennessee 37660 and its main telephone number is (615) 378-8000. MERGER WITH FIRST AMERICAN CORPORATION On February 21, 1995, the Bank entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger ("the Agreement") to merge with First American Corporation ("First American"), a Tennessee bank holding company. Under the terms of the Agreement, First American will acquire all of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock and the Company's shareholders will receive $28.00 in value of shares of First American common stock, such value to be based upon the average closing price of the First American common stock for the 20 trading days ending on and including the third day immediately preceding the effective time of the merger. The number of shares of First American common stock to be exchanged in the merger cannot exceed 1.098 shares or be less than 0.8116 shares. The Company has the unilateral right to terminate the Agreement if First American's market price drops below $23.50 and First American has the unilateral right to terminate the Agreement if its market price exceeds $36.50. The Company is also permitted under the Agreement to continue paying its quarterly cash dividend in the amount of $0.095 per share but dividends in the last quarter prior to closing must be coordinated with First American's dividend policy to avoid receipt by the Company's shareholders of either two dividends or no dividends in any calendar quarter. The Agreement also provides for the payment by the Company of a $4.5 million termination fee to First American under certain circumstances as well as other lesser payments between the parties if the merger is not consummated for other reasons. LENDING ACTIVITIES General. Heritage Federal originates loans through its offices located in Sullivan, Washington, Carter, Hawkins, Anderson, Roane and, prior to their sale on August 7, 1992, also originated loans through its now-sold branches located in Wilson, Rutherford, Williamson, Warren and Putnam counties, all of which are in Tennessee. The principal lending activity of the Bank is the origination of conventional mortgage loans for the purpose of purchasing or refinancing owner-occupied, one- to four-family residential properties in each of its primary market areas. Conventional mortgage loans are fixed-rate or adjustable-rate mortgage loans which are not insured or guaranteed by federal agencies. At June 30, 1995, such loans totaled $241.8 million, or 79.4% of the Bank's gross loan portfolio. The Bank also makes conventional mortgage loans for the purpose of constructing one- to four-family residences and loans to construct commercial and multi-family real estate. At June 30, 1995, conventional one- to four-family construction loans totaled $5.2 million, commercial construction loans totaled $1.6 million and multi- 3 4 family real estate construction loans totaled $0.2 million. In addition to conventional loans, the Bank has originated limited amounts of residential mortgage loans insured by the Federal Housing Administration ("FHA") or guaranteed by the Veterans Administration ("VA"). At June 30, 1995, such loans totaled $0.8 million. The Bank also originates consumer loans on a direct basis and some small commercial loans. The Bank has sought to reduce its exposure to changes in interest rates by matching more closely the effective maturities or repricings of its interest-sensitive assets and liabilities. In accordance with the Bank's interest rate risk policy, management has emphasized the origination and/or purchase of adjustable-rate mortgages and mortgage-backed securities, intermediate-term fixed-rate mortgages, and short-term consumer loans. However, because of generally declining interest rate levels during the past four fiscal years, there has been increased consumer interest in fixed-rate loans. In order to maintain market share under these changing conditions, the Bank began to originate fixed-rate loans for potential resale to secondary market investors and for its portfolio. In all cases, originations of long-term fixed-rate mortgages are underwritten according to guidelines of the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation and the Federal National Mortgage Association. Since February 1994, higher interest rates have slowed the trend toward fixed-rate lending and have created renewed interest in adjustable-rate loan balances. However, because of the moderate rise in mortgage rates during most of the Bank's fiscal year ended June 30, 1995, the adjustable-rate component of the Bank's portfolio of mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities increased only marginally to 68%, with fixed-rate loans comprising 32% as compared to the portfolio mix at June 30, 1994, of 67% and 33%, respectively. The portfolio mix at June 30, 1992 was 53% and 47%, respectively. 4 5 Set forth below is selected data relating to the composition of the Bank's loan portfolio by type of loan on the dates indicated. As of June 30, 1995, the Bank had no concentrations of loans exceeding 10% of total loans other than as disclosed below.

The Bank's primary lending activity is the origination of conventional loans secured by owner-occupied, one- to four-family residential properties. To a lesser extent, the Bank originates FHA-insured and VA- guaranteed loans secured by such properties. The purchase price for most such properties has been between $50,000 and $250,000. At June 30, 1995, approximately $241.8 million, or 79.4% of the Bank's gross loan portfolio consisted of loans secured by one- to four-family residential real properties which were primarily owner-occupied, detached single-family residences located in the Bank's primary market area. The Bank's conventional mortgage loan originations are generally for terms of 15 to 30 years, amortized on a monthly basis, with principal and interest due each month. Residential real estate loans often remain outstanding for significantly shorter periods than their contractual terms. Borrowers may refinance or prepay loans at their option without penalty. Conventional residential mortgage loans granted by the Bank customarily contain "due-on-sale" clauses which permit the Bank to accelerate the indebtedness upon transfer of ownership of the mortgaged property. Additionally, loans insured by the FHA after December 1989 or guaranteed by the VA after March 1988 contain due-on-sale clauses. Due-on-sale clauses are an important means of imposing assumption fees and increasing the rate on existing mortgage loans during periods of rising interest rates and increasing the turnover of mortgage loans in the Bank's portfolio. 6 7 The Bank's lending policies generally limit the maximum loan-to-value ratio on mortgage loans secured by owner-occupied properties to 95% of the lesser of the appraised value or purchase price, with the condition that private mortgage insurance is required on loans with loan-to-value ratios in excess of 80%. The maximum loan-to-value ratios on mortgage loans secured by non- owner-occupied properties and/or used for refinancing purposes are from 75% to 80%. Heritage Federal began originating conventional adjustable-rate residential mortgage loans in the early 1980s and principally originates five-year fixed/one-year adjustable-rate mortgage loans with rate adjustments indexed to the weekly average rate of U.S. Treasury securities adjusted to a constant one-year maturity (the "One-Year Treasury Index"). Following the first five-year, fixed-rate term, the rates at which interest accrues on these mortgages are adjustable once a year with limitations on adjustments of two percentage points per adjustment period and 5.00 percentage points over the life of the loan. The Bank's loan portfolio also includes a limited amount of loans with variable rates tied to other indices and loans which have both longer and shorter adjustment periods. The Bank has a small amount of loans which provide for negative amortization, in which the loan payments may at times be insufficient to pay the interest then due and the unpaid interest is added to the outstanding loan balance so the principal increases rather than decreases as payments are made. Heritage Federal originated $23.5 million of adjustable-rate, one- to four-family mortgage loans during the year ended June 30, 1995. There are unquantifiable credit risks resulting from potential increased costs to the borrower as a result of repricing of adjustable-rate mortgage loans. It is possible that during periods of rising interest rates, the risk of default on adjustable-rate mortgage loans may increase due to the upward adjustment of interest cost to the borrower. Further, the adjustable-rate mortgages originated by the Bank generally provide for initial rates of interest below the rates which would apply were the index used for pricing applied initially. These discounted loans may be subject to increased risk of delinquency or default when the higher, fully-indexed rate of interest subsequently comes into effect, replacing the lower initial rate. In addition, although adjustable-rate mortgage loans allow the Bank to increase the sensitivity of its asset base to changes in interest rates, the extent of this interest sensitivity is limited by the periodic and lifetime interest rate adjustment limitations. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that yields on the Bank's adjustable-rate mortgages will adjust sufficiently to compensate for increases in the Bank's cost of funds. Heritage Federal also originates conventional fixed-rate mortgage loans on one- to four-family residential properties. All fixed-rate loans are underwritten according to either FHLMC and FNMA guidelines, utilizing their approved documents, so that the loans qualify for sale in the secondary mortgage market, or pursuant to FHA or VA requirements, so that such loans will either be insured by the FHA or partially guaranteed by the VA. Heritage Federal originated $5.2 million in fixed-rate, one- to four-family mortgage loans during the year ended June 30, 1995 and such loans amounted to $70.9 million or 23.2%, of the Bank's loan portfolio at June 30, 1995. Construction Lending. Heritage Federal engages in construction lending, involving loans to qualified borrowers for construction of one- to four-family residential properties and, on a limited basis, involving commercial and multi-family properties. These properties are primarily located in the Bank's market area. At June 30, 1995, the Bank's loan portfolio included $7.0 million of loans secured by properties under construction (including $0.2 million in commercial real estate construction loans and $1.6 million in multi-family real estate construction loans), most of which were construction/permanent loans structured to become permanent loans upon the completion of construction. All construction loans are secured by a first lien on the property under construction. Loan proceeds are disbursed in increments as construction progresses and as inspections warrant. Construction/permanent loans have either fixed- or adjustable-rates and are underwritten in accordance with the same terms and requirements as the Bank's permanent mortgages, except the loans generally provide for disbursement in stages during a construction period of up to twelve months, during which period the borrower is required to make monthly payments of accrued interest on the outstanding loan balance. Interim construction loans generally have fixed interest rates, terms of up to twelve months and a maximum loan-to-value ratio of 80%. Borrowers must satisfy all credit requirements which 7 8 would apply to the Bank's permanent mortgage loan financing for the subject property. If the borrower obtains mortgage insurance for the portion of the loan in excess of 80% of collateral value, construction/permanent loans may be made up to a maximum loan-to-value ratio of 90%. Loans involving construction financing present a greater level of risk than loans for the purchase of existing homes because loan funds are advanced upon the security of the project under construction, which is of uncertain value prior to the completion of construction. The Bank's risk of loss on a construction loan is dependent primarily upon the accuracy of the initial estimate of the property's value at completion of construction or development and the estimated cost (including interest) of completion. If the estimate of completed cost proves to be inaccurate, the borrower may be required to contribute additional equity to the project. If the borrower is unable to do so, the Bank may be required to advance funds beyond the amount originally committed. If the estimate of value proves to be inaccurate, the Bank may be confronted, at or prior to the maturity of the loan, with a project having a value that is insufficient to ensure full repayment of the loan. Commercial and Multi-Family Real Estate Lending. Heritage Federal has historically engaged in a limited amount of commercial and multi-family real estate lending. This lending has involved loans principally secured by apartment buildings, churches and healthcare facilities. At June 30, 1995, the Bank's commercial and multi-family real estate loan portfolio totaled $32.7 million and included $3.7 million in loans secured by churches, $8.6 million in loans secured by multi-family property and $20.4 million in loans secured by office and retail buildings and other non-residential property. Generally, these loans are made on an adjustable-rate basis for a period of 25 years or less on a loan-to-value ratio of 80% or less, indexed to the One Year Treasury Index and secured by properties located within the market area of the Bank. The largest single commercial real estate loan at June 30, 1995, was a $4.2 million loan secured by a medical office building in Kingsport, Tennessee and guaranteed by a major hospital. The next three largest loans at June 30, 1995 are secured by a shopping center in the amount of $2.3 million, an apartment complex in the amount of $2.1 million and a church with a balance of $1.8 million.. All properties securing the Bank's commercial and multi-family real estate loans are inspected by the Bank's lending personnel prior to the loan's inception. The Bank also obtains appraisals on each such property in accordance with applicable regulations. Loans secured by commercial and multi-family real estate generally are larger and involve greater risks than one- to four-family residential mortgage loans. Because payments on loans secured by such properties are often dependent on successful operation or management of the properties, repayment of such loans may be subject, to a greater extent, to adverse conditions in the real estate market or the economy. The Bank seeks to minimize these risks in a variety of ways, including limiting the loans to one borrower in conformity with OTS regulations and strictly scrutinizing the financial condition of the borrower, the quality of the collateral and the management of the property securing the loan. The Bank also obtains loan guarantees from financially capable parties. Consumer Lending. The Bank's consumer loans generally have shorter terms to maturity or repricing and higher interest rates than the long-term, fixed-rate mortgage loans that constitute a substantial part of the Bank's loan portfolio. The Bank's consumer loans primarily comprise automobile loans, loans secured by second mortgages on residences, savings account loans, unsecured term notes and installment loans. At June 30, 1995, the Bank's consumer loans totaled approximately $13.4 million or 4.3% of the Bank's gross loan portfolio. Automobile loans are secured by both new and used cars and are generally limited to 80% of this "sticker price" or purchase price, whichever is lower, or the loan value as published by the National Automobile Dealers Association. Automobile loans are only made to the borrower-owners on a direct basis. New cars are financed for a period of up to 60 months while used cars are financed for 42 months or less. Collision insurance and vendor single interest coverage, which insures the title to the Bank, are required on all automobile loans. 8 9 Home equity loans, also referred to as second mortgage loans, are generally made on the security of residences on which the Bank has a first mortgage, normally do not exceed 89% of the appraised value of the residence less the outstanding principal of the first mortgage, and generally have terms of up to five years. Second mortgage loans for five or fewer years may have fixed interest rates, and loans for more than five years have annually adjustable interest rates indexed to the One-Year Treasury Index with a limitation on adjustment of five percentage points above the initial interest rate over the life of the loan. The maximum term of a second mortgage loan generally does not exceed 15 years. At June 30, 1995, total outstanding second mortgage loans amounted to $7.9 million, or 2.6% of the Bank's gross loan portfolio. Home equity lines of credit which require no monthly repayment of principal are restricted to a five year maturity. Because the borrower can borrow up to the entire amount of the credit line at any time during its term, annual financial statements are required and reviewed to determine the continued creditworthiness of the borrower. Longer-term second mortgages require monthly payments of principal and interest. The Bank makes savings account loans for up to 90% of the depositor's savings account balance. The interest rate is normally 2% above the rate paid on the savings account, and the account must be pledged as collateral to secure the loan. Savings account loans are payable on demand. At June 30, 1995, total loans on savings accounts were $2.2 million, or 0.7% of the Bank's gross loan portfolio. The Bank also offers credit cards. Consumer loans entail a greater risk to the Bank than do residential mortgage loans, particularly in the case of consumer loans which are unsecured or secured by rapidly depreciable assets such as automobiles. In such cases, any repossessed collateral for a defaulted consumer loan may not provide an adequate source of repayment of the outstanding loan balance because of the greater likelihood of damage, loss or depreciation. Any remaining deficiency often does not warrant further substantial collection efforts against the borrower. In addition, consumer loan collections are dependent on the borrower's continuing financial stability and thus are more likely to be adversely affected by job loss, divorce, illness or personal bankruptcy. Furthermore, the application of various federal and state laws, including federal and state bankruptcy and insolvency laws, may limit the amount which can be recovered on such loans. Such loans may also give rise to claims and defenses by a consumer loan borrower against an assignee of such loans such as the Bank, and a borrower may be able to assert against such assignee claims and defenses which it has against the seller of the underlying collateral. At June 30, 1995, $47,000, or 0.4% of the consumer loan portfolio was past due 90 days or more. Commercial Lending. As a federally chartered savings institution, the Bank is authorized to invest up to 10% of its assets in commercial loans not secured by real property. Heritage Federal offers a variety of business loans, including farm loans, equipment loans, inventory loans and occasionally letters of credit. At June 30, 1995, the total commercial loan portfolio was $10.1 million, or 3.3% of the Bank's gross loan portfolio. The largest commercial non-real estate loan is secured by the inventory and accounts receivable of a retail business, in the amount of $643,000. Commercial loans are primarily offered as an accommodation to existing customers and are only offered on a secured basis. Unlike residential mortgage loans, which generally are made on the basis of the borrower's ability to make repayment from employment and other income and which are secured by real property whose value tends to be easily ascertainable, commercial loans typically are made based upon the cash flow of his or her business and are generally secured by business assets, such as accounts receivable, equipment and inventory. As a result, the availability of funds for the payment of commercial loans may be substantially dependent on the success of the business itself. Further, the collateral securing the loan may depreciate over time, occasionally cannot be appraised with as much precision as residential real estate, and may fluctuate in value based on the success of the business. Loan Solicitation and Processing. Loan originations are derived from a number of sources. Residential mortgage loan originations primarily come from walk-in customers and referrals by realtors and previous and present borrowers. Consumer loan applicants are primarily present depositors or mortgage borrowers. Mortgage loans are originated in all of the Bank's offices and are processed and serviced at the Bank's main office in Kingsport. Applications for fixed-rate, one- to four-family real estate loans are underwritten and closed based on FHLMC and 9 10 FNMA standards, and other loan applications are underwritten and closed based on the Bank's own loan guidelines. Residential and commercial mortgage loans are required to have title searches, title insurance, and fire and extended coverage insurance. Upon receipt of a loan application from a prospective borrower, a credit report and verifications are ordered to verify specific information relating to the loan applicant's employment, income and credit standing. An appraisal of the real estate intended to secure the proposed loan is undertaken by a fee appraiser approved by the Bank. The Board of Directors of the Bank has the responsibility and authority for general supervision over the loan policies of the Bank. Under the Bank's lending policies, Vice Presidents currently have the authority to approve residential mortgages in amounts up to $203,150, secured consumer loans up to $100,000, and unsecured consumer loans for up to $25,000. The Senior Vice President for Branch Administration is authorized to approve secured loans in amounts up to $200,000 and unsecured loans up to $100,000. The President and the Executive Vice President may approve secured loans up to $300,000 and unsecured loans up to $200,000. All other loans must be considered for approval by the Loan Committee of the Board of Directors. Branch managers and loan officers may approve loans in amounts up to $25,000 for secured loans and $10,000 for unsecured loans. Loan applicants are promptly notified of the decision of the Bank. Interest rates on approved loans are subject to change if the loan is not funded within 60 days after approval. If an approved loan is not funded within the 60 days, management contacts the applicant to determine the loan's status. It has been management's experience that substantially all approved loans are funded. Loan Originations, Purchases and Sales. Loan originations decreased 37.1% during fiscal year 1995 to $51,536,000 compared with $81,902,000 in fiscal year 1994 due to: a declining consumer demand for adjustable-rate mortgage loans, which are the Bank's principal source of loan originations; increased competition in the mortgage origination business; a general slowdown in new home construction; and a general decline in the volume of residential loan refinancings. Net loans receivable declined 3.6% to $297,533,000 at June 30, 1995, compared with $308,700,000 at June 30, 1994. This change reflected the net repayment of loans, which slowed significantly during fiscal 1995 from the year-earlier period due to higher market rates and moderating refinancing activity, in excess of new loan originations. As a matter of policy, the Bank is not active in the secondary markets with respect to both purchasing and/or selling loans; however, loans may be sold in order to better manage the Bank's interest rate risk or for other specific business purposes. In such cases, loans are generally sold with servicing rights retained in order to maintain the Bank's customer relationships. At June 30, 1995, the Bank was servicing $7.8 million in loans for others. The Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 ("FIRREA") provides that the loans-to-one-borrower limits applicable to national banks apply to savings associations in the same manner and to the same extent. Previously, the Bank was generally authorized to make loans to one borrower, including related entities, in an amount equal to the lesser of 10% of deposits or 100% of regulatory capital. Under the new limits, with certain limited exceptions, loans and extensions of credit to a person outstanding at one time generally shall not exceed 15% of the unimpaired capital and surplus of the savings association. Loans and extensions of credit fully secured by readily marketable collateral may comprise an additional 10% of unimpaired capital and surplus. At June 30, 1995, the Bank had no lending relationship in excess of the new loans-to-one borrower limits. Under OTS regulations which became effective March 19, 1993, savings associations must adopt and maintain written policies that establish appropriate limits and standards for extensions of credit that are secured by liens or interests in real estate or are made for the purpose of financing permanent improvements to real estate. These policies must establish loan portfolio diversification standards, prudent underwriting standards, including loan-to-value limits that are clear and measurable, loan administration procedures and documentation, approval and reporting requirements. The real estate lending policies must reflect consideration of the Interagency Guidelines for Real Estate Lending Policies (the "Interagency Guidelines") that have been adopted by the federal bank regulators. 10 11 The Interagency Guidelines, among other things, call upon depository institutions to establish internal loan-to-value limits for real estate loans that are not in excess of the following supervisory limits: (i) for loans secured by raw land, the supervisory loan-to-value limit is 65% of the value of the collateral; (ii) for land development loans (i.e., loans for the purpose of improving unimproved property prior to the erection of structures), the supervisory limit is 75%; (iii) for loans for the construction of commercial, multi-family or other nonresidential property, the supervisory limit is 80%; (iv) for loans for the construction of one-to-four family properties, the supervisory limit is 85%; and (v) for loans secured by other improved property (e.g., farmland, completed commercial property and other income-producing property including non-owner-occupied, one-to-four family property), the limit is 85%. Although no supervisory loan-to-value limit has been established for owner-occupied, one-to-four family and home equity loans, the Interagency Guidelines state that for any such loan with a loan-to-value ratio that equals or exceeds 90% at origination, an institution should require appropriate credit enhancement in the form of either mortgage insurance or readily marketable collateral. The Interagency Guidelines state that it may be appropriate in individual cases to originate or purchase loans with loan-to-value ratios in excess of the supervisory loan-to-value limits, based on the support provided by other credit factors. The aggregate amount of loans in excess of the supervisory loan-to-value limits, however, should not exceed 100% of total capital and the total of such loans secured by commercial, agricultural, multi-family and other non-one-to-four family residential properties should not exceed 30% of total capital. The supervisory loan-to-value limits do not apply to certain categories of loans including loans insured or guaranteed by the U.S. government and its agencies or by financially capable state, local or municipal governments or agencies, loans backed by the full faith and credit of a state government, loans that are to be sold promptly after origination without recourse to a financially responsible party, loans that are renewed, refinanced or restructured without the advancement of new funds, loans that are renewed, refinanced or restructured in connection with a workout, loans to facilitate sales of real estate acquired by the institution in the ordinary course of collecting a debt previously contracted and loans where the real estate is not the primary collateral. The following table sets forth certain information with respect to the loan origination and sale activity of the Bank during the periods indicated. There were no loans purchased during fiscal years 1995, 1994, or 1993.

Interest rates charged by the Bank on mortgage loans are primarily determined by competitive loan rates offered in its market area. Mortgage loan rates reflect factors such as general interest rate levels, the supply of money available to the savings industry and the demand for such loans. These factors are in turn affected by general economic conditions, the monetary policies of the Federal government, including the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve Board"), the general supply of money in the economy, tax policies and governmental budget matters. In addition to interest earned on loans, Heritage Federal receives fees for servicing loans for others. Loan servicing fees usually are charged as a percentage (between 0.25% and 0.65%) of the balance of the loans being serviced. During the year ended June 30, 1995, the Bank reported loan servicing fee income of $47,840 and at June 30, 1995 the Bank was servicing $7.8 million in loans for others. In addition to loan servicing fees, the Bank receives fees in connection with loan commitments and originations, loan modifications, late payments, changes of property ownership and for miscellaneous services related to its loans. Income from these activities varies from period to period with the volume and type of loans originated, sold and purchased, which in turn are dependent upon the prevailing mortgage interest rates and their effect on the demand for loans in the markets served by the Bank. To the extent that loans are originated or acquired for the portfolio, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 91 limits immediate recognition of loan origination or acquisition fees as revenues and requires that such income (net of certain deferred loan origination or acquisition costs) be recognized over the estimated lives of the related loans as an adjustment to yield. SFAS No. 91 thus limits the amount of revenue that may be recognized by Heritage Federal at the time it originates or acquires loans. At June 30, 1995, the Bank had $0.9 million of net loan fees that had been deferred and were being recognized as income over the estimated lives of the related loans. Non-Performing Loans and Other Problem Assets. Management reviews the Bank's loans on a monthly basis. After residential mortgage loans become past due more than 90 days, the Bank generally establishes an allowance in the amount of uncollected interest. Commercial and multi-family real estate loans generally are placed on non-accrual status if the loan becomes past due more than 90 days, or management concludes that payment in full is not likely. Consumer loans are charged off, or a reserve for any expected loss is established, after they become more than 120 days past due. Loans are charged off when management concludes that they are uncollectible. The Bank's collection procedures provide that when a loan becomes past due 30 days, the borrower is contacted either by telephone or by letter, and payment is requested. If payment is not promptly received, the borrower is contacted again, and efforts are made to formulate an affirmative plan to cure the delinquency. After a loan becomes past due 90 days, the Bank generally initiates legal proceedings. Real estate acquired by the Bank as a result of foreclosure is classified as real estate owned until such time as it is sold. When such property is acquired, it is recorded at the lower of the unpaid loan balance or its fair market value. Any required write-down of the loan to its fair market value upon foreclosure is charged against the allowance for loan losses. 12 13 The following table sets forth information with respect to the Bank's non-performing loans and other problem assets at the dates indicated. At the dates indicated, there were no accruing loans which were contractually past due 90 days or more as to principal or interest payments. At June 30 ------------------------------------------------------------- 1995 1994 1993 1992 1991 ----- ---- ------ ----- ------ (Dollars in thousands) Loans accounted for on a non-accrual basis: (1) Residential . . . . . . . . . . . . . $ 178 $375 $ 506 $ 519 $1,277 Non-residential and other . . . . . . -- 42 675 -- 90 Consumer and commercial . . . . . . . 47 48 97 672 613 ----- ---- ------ ------ ------ Total . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 225 465 1,278 1,191 1,980 Other non-performing assets (2) . . . . 643 531 625 1,500 1,789 ----- ---- ------ ------ ------ Total non-performing assets . . . $ 868 $996 $1,903 $2,691 $3,769 ===== ==== ====== ====== ====== Non-performing loans as a percentage of total loans . . . . . . 0.08% 0.15% 0.38% 0.32% 0.54% ===== ==== ====== ====== ====== Non-performing assets as a percentage of total assets . . . . . 0.16% 0.19% 0.37% 0.50% 0.74% ===== ==== ====== ====== ====== - --------------- (1) Non-accrual status denotes loans on which, in the opinion of management, the collection of additional interest is unlikely. The Bank has generally established an allowance for uncollectible interest, which is netted with the accrued interest receivable, for those mortgage loans that are 90 days past due. The allowance for uncollectible interest is established in an amount equal to all interest previously accrued. The allowance for uncollectible interest on past due loans amounted to $28,611, $26,863, $43,112, $92,328 and $179,675 at June 30, 1995, 1994, 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively. (2) Other non-performing assets represents property acquired by the Bank through foreclosure or repossession, in-substance foreclosure, and other repossessed collateral as well as restructured loans.. Real estate properties acquired through loan foreclosure and loans foreclosed in substance are initially recorded at the lower of the related loan balance, less any specific allowance for loss, or fair value at the date of foreclosure. Real estate acquired in settlement of loans is carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value. At June 30, 1995, the Bank's only real estate acquired in settlement of loans was fully reserved. Asset Classification and Allowance for Loan Losses. Federal regulations require savings associations to review their assets on a regular basis and to classify them as "substandard," "doubtful" or "loss," if warranted. Assets classified as "substandard" or "doubtful" require the institution to establish general allowances for loan losses. If an asset or portion thereof is classified as "loss," the insured institution must either establish specific allowances for loan losses in the amount of 100% of the portion of the asset classified as "loss," or charge off such amount. An asset which does not currently warrant classification but which possesses weaknesses or deficiencies deserving close attention is required to be designated as "special mention." Currently, general loss allowances established to cover possible losses related to assets classified "substandard" or "doubtful" may be included in determining an institution's regulatory capital, while specific valuation allowances for loan losses do not qualify as regulatory capital. See "Regulation of the Bank -- Regulatory Capital Requirements." OTS examiners may disagree with the insured institution's classifications and amounts reserved. If an institution does not agree with an examiner's classification of an asset, it may appeal this determination to the OTS. The Bank has determined that at June 30, 1995 it had $2.0 million in assets classified as "substandard," no assets classified as "doubtful" and $0.3 million in assets classified as "loss." The Bank did not have any assets designated as "special mention" at June 30, 1995. 13 14 In originating loans, the Bank recognizes that credit losses will be experienced and that the risk of loss will vary with, among other things, the type of loan being made, the creditworthiness of the borrower over the term of the loan, general economic conditions and, in the case of a secured loan, the quality of the security for the loan. The allowance for loan losses is based on, among other things, the Bank's and the industry's historical loan loss experience, management's evaluation of economic conditions and management's regular reviews of delinquencies and loan portfolio quality. The Bank increases its allowance for loan losses by charging provisions for possible loan losses against the Bank's income. General allowances are made pursuant to management's assessment of risk in the Bank's loan portfolio as a whole. Specific allowances are provided for individual loans when ultimate collection is considered questionable by management after reviewing the current status of loans which are contractually past due and considering the net realizable value of the security for the loan. The OTS, along with the other federal banking regulators, has adopted a joint policy statement on the adequacy of general valuation allowances applicable to all federally-insured depository institutions. The policy statement provides that the primary responsibility for judging the adequacy of general valuation allowances lies with management. Examiners will evaluate the methodology and process used by management to establish such allowances. In addition, examiners will judge the adequacy of the allowance by calculating whether the allowance is at least equal to the following percentages of assets: (i) the amount of estimated credit losses estimated to result over the next twelve months from unclassified and Special Mention assets based on annual net charge-offs experienced during the previous two or three years; (ii) 15% of Substandard assets; and (iii) 50% of Doubtful assets. As a result of the declines in regional real estate market values and the significant losses experienced by many financial institutions, there has been a greater level of scrutiny by regulatory authorities of the loan portfolios of financial institutions undertaken as part of the examination of the institution by the FDIC, OTS or other federal or state regulators. Results of recent examinations indicate that these regulators may be applying more conservative criteria in evaluating real estate market values, requiring significantly increased provisions for potential loan losses. While the Bank believes it has established its existing allowances for loan losses in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, there can be no assurance that regulators, in reviewing the Bank's loan portfolio, will not request the Bank to significantly increase its allowance for loan losses, thereby adversely affecting the Bank's financial condition and earnings. Because of the wide market area served by the Bank and the strong employment base in its two major markets, the general economic problems facing the country are generally much less pronounced in the areas served by the Bank. Moreover, the sale during fiscal year 1993 of the middle Tennessee branches, which were located in an area characterized by real estate values which had declined after significant appreciation in the 1980s and a rise in personal bankruptcies, has allowed the Bank to focus its efforts on its more profitable branches located in its two remaining service areas. While the Bank did retain the loans associated with the middle Tennessee branches, management believes that appropriate reserves have been established against these loans, and originations in that area have ceased. For fiscal years 1995, 1994 and 1993, the Bank provided approximately $82,000, $487,300 and $595,000, respectively, for loan losses. Total charge-offs decreased to $39,800 during fiscal year 1995 from $600,058 during fiscal year 1994 and $558,300 during fiscal year 1993. At June 30, 1995, the allowance for possible loan losses represented 1,034.22 % of total non-accrual loans and loans past due more than 90 days compared to 490.03% and 186.9% at June 30, 1994 and 1993, respectively. 14 15 The following table sets forth an analysis of the Bank's allowance for loan losses for the periods indicated.

See "Regulation of the Bank -- Liquidity Requirements." It has generally been Heritage Federal's policy to maintain a liquidity portfolio in excess of the amount required to satisfy regulatory requirements and the Bank's average daily liquidity ratio of 19.25% for the month of June 1995 exceeded the 5% regulatory requirement. Liquidity levels may be increased or decreased depending upon the yields on investment alternatives, management's judgment as to the attractiveness of the yields then available in relation to other opportunities, its expectations of the level of yield that will be available in the future and its projections as to the short-term demand for funds to be used in the Bank's loan origination and other activities. The general objectives of Heritage Federal's investment policy are to (1) protect Heritage Federal's depositor resources, (2) maintain liquidity levels to meet the operational needs of the Bank and applicable regulatory requirements, (3) reduce credit risk by investing in high quality, diverse investments, (4) serve as a hedge against significant interest rate shifts, (5) contribute to earnings in a stable and dependable manner without compromising the goals of liquidity and safety, and (6) provide collateral for pledging needs. The Bank's investment activities are conducted by the investment officer and senior management and supervised by the Board of Directors. An investment policy has been adopted by the Board which provides for maintenance of the investment portfolio for the purpose of providing earnings and ensuring a minimum liquidity reserve. In accordance with the investment policy, management has primarily invested in U.S. Treasury debt securities backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, debt obligations issued by U.S. government-sponsored enterprises ("GSE's") such as the Federal National Mortgage Association ("FNMA") or Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC"), mortgage-backed securities issued by FNMA, FMLMC, or guaranteed by the Government National Mortgage Association ("GNMA"), federal funds sold, and interest-bearing deposits in other banks. General obligation and bank-qualified bonds of municipalities within the market areas served by the Bank and which are considered to possess acceptable credit and limited default risk are also considered for investment. In addition, the Bank also invests in collateralized mortgage obligations ("CMOs") when management determines that such obligations represent appropriate investment vehicles. At June 30, 1995, the Bank had CMO balances of approximately $14.9 million, representing approximately 7.2% of the total investment portfolio. At June 30, 1995, fixed-rate CMOs amounted to approximately $4.0 million, consisting principally of such types meeting the regulatory definition of non-high risk mortgage derivatives. Adjustable-rate CMOs totaled approximately $10.9 million at June 30, 1995, funded principally by a floating-rate advance from the FHLB of Cincinnati. Although mortgage-backed securities yield from 60 to 100 basis points less than whole loans, they present substantially lower credit risk and are more liquid than individual mortgage loans and may be used to collateralize obligations of the Bank. Because the Bank receives regular payments of principal and interest from its mortgage-backed securities, these investments provide more consistent cash-flows than investments in other debt securities which generally only pay principal at maturity. Mortgage- backed securities also help the Bank meet certain definitional tests for favorable treatment under federal banking and tax laws. See "Regulation of the Bank -- Qualified Thrift Lender Test" and "Taxation." Mortgage-backed securities, however, expose the Bank to certain unique risks. In a declining rate environment, accelerated prepayments of loans underlying these securities expose the Bank to the risk that it will be unable to obtain comparable yields upon reinvestment of the proceeds. In the event the mortgage-backed security has been funded with an interest-bearing liability with a maturity comparable to the original estimated life of the mortgage-backed security, the Bank's interest rate spread could be adversely affected. Conversely, in a rising interest rate environment, the Bank may experience a lower than estimated rate of repayment on the underlying mortgages, effectively extending the estimated life of the mortgage-backed security and exposing the Bank to the risk that it may be required to fund the asset with a liability bearing a higher rate of interest. The Bank seeks to minimize the effect of extension risk by focusing on investments in adjustable-rate and/or relatively short-term (five to seven year maturity) balloon types of mortgage-backed securities. 17 18 During 1992, the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council ("FFIEC") issued a policy, which has since been adopted by all principal regulatory authorities, regarding the suitability of investment in certain mortgage derivative securities, including CMOs. This policy establishes a three part risk measurement test for fixed-rate, and a one part test for floating-rate, derivative instruments. Securities failing any one of the tests are deemed to be "unsuitable" investments and must be transferred into a "trading" portfolio reported at market value. At June 30, 1995, all of the Bank's securities included in its investment portfolio met the criteria established by the policy for continued classification as suitable investments. The Board of Directors of the Bank has authorized a trading account in an amount not to exceed $8,000,000 for the purpose of taking advantage of favorable short-term market conditions. The Bank's investment policy specifies that securities traded within this account must be U.S. Treasury or agency obligations, and losses may not exceed the lesser of $10,000 per trade or $25,000 per month. The trading account is administered by the Chief Financial Officer and the Investment Manager. Securities positions in the trading account are reported to the Board of Directors on a monthly basis. During the year ended June 30, 1995, no securities were traded. At June 30, 1995, there were no securities held in the trading account. It is anticipated that any future activity in the trading account will involve medium-term U.S. Treasury Notes or GNMA mortgage-backed securities. The Bank adopted on a prospective basis SFAS No. 115 at the beginning of fiscal year 1995, and in doing so, designated a portion of its investment portfolio as available for sale. Securities designated as available for sale consist of U. S. Treasury notes with laddered maturities, amounting to approximately $20,000,000 in principal face value at June 30, 1995. The fair value of these securities at June 30, 1995, with unrealized gains or losses, net of taxes, of approximately $84,000 reflected as a separate component of stockholders' equity, totaled $20,213,000. At that date, available for sale securities had a weighted average life of approximately 1.1 years. The Bank anticipates the available for sale portion of its investment portfolio will be maintained as necessary in order to satisfy its liquidity needs. In the event funds are needed for deposit account withdrawals, loan demand or other liquidity purposes, these securities could be liquidated. For additional information, see Note 3 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The following table sets forth the book value of the Bank's investment portfolio at the dates indicated. At June 30, 1995, the market value of the Bank's investment portfolio was $206.1 million.

Deposits are the primary source of the Bank's funds for lending, investment activities and general operational purposes. In addition to deposits, Heritage Federal derives funds from loan principal and interest repayments, maturities of investment securities and interest payments thereon. Although loan repayments are a relatively stable source of funds, deposit inflows and outflows are significantly influenced by general interest rates and money market conditions. Borrowings may be used on a short-term basis to compensate for reductions in the availability of funds, or on a longer term basis for general operational purposes. DEPOSITS. The Bank attracts deposits principally from within its primary market areas by offering a variety of deposit instruments, including checking accounts, money market accounts, regular savings accounts, retirement savings plans, and certificates of deposit which range in maturity from seven days to four years. Deposit terms vary according to the minimum balance required, the length of time the funds must remain on deposit and the interest rate. Maturities, terms, service fees and withdrawal penalties for its deposit accounts are established by the Bank on a periodic basis. Heritage Federal generally reviews its deposit mix and pricing on a weekly basis. In determining the characteristics of its deposit accounts, Heritage Federal considers the rates offered by competing institutions, funds acquisition and liquidity requirements, growth goals, and federal regulations. The Bank does not accept brokered deposits due to the volatility and rate sensitivity of such deposits. Heritage Federal competes for deposits with other institutions in its market areas by offering deposit instruments that are competitively priced and providing customer service through convenient and attractive offices, knowledgeable and efficient staff, and hours of service that meet customers' needs. To provide additional convenience, Heritage Federal maintains Automatic Teller Machines at branches through which customers can gain access to their accounts at any time. Heritage Federal began offering commercial demand deposit accounts in 1981 in order to attract local businesses to the Bank. Commercial account customers are encouraged to use the Bank for all of their banking activities. Such accounts totaled $25.7 million, or 5.7% of total deposits, at June 30, 1995. 20 21 Deposits in the Bank as of June 30, 1995 were represented by the various programs described below.

The buyer, Trans Financial Federal Savings Bank, assumed approximately $55 million in deposits. The Bank's deposits in its other thirteen remaining branches increased approximately 4.0% during fiscal year 1993. During fiscal year 1994, the Bank's deposits declined 2.0%. Management believes the decline in deposits during fiscal year 1994 was primarily attributable to the disintermediation behavior of retail customers in a period of relatively low market interest rates. With savings rates being the lowest offered by banks in many years, some depositors sought higher yields. Alternative investment vehicles such as annuities and mutual funds assumed a greater prominence in the marketplace, with investments in such vehicles rising significantly during the period in spite of an upward trend in interest rates during the second half of fiscal year 1994. During fiscal year 1995, deposits declined $1.5 million, or .3%. Monetary policy restraint by the Federal Reserve caused interest rates to move higher throughout most of the fiscal year. With higher market interest rates prevailing, interest rate differentials between transaction accounts 23 24 (such as NOW accounts and regular savings) and certificates of deposit reached greater levels than those seen in the previous two years. This prompted a considerable movement of depositor funds from lower interest-bearing accounts to higher-yielding deposit products. This environment created increased competition among financial institutions as many interest-rate-sensitive deposit customers sought the best yields available in the marketplace. In response to high-yielding alternative investment vehicles offered by the Bank's competition, the Bank began offering seven- and 13-month certificates of deposit accounts in July, 1994. Rates offered on these products were very competitive in relation to other comparable investments available to deposit customers. This pricing strategy allowed the Bank to retain the majority of its maturing interest-sensitive deposits during the fiscal year, as well as minimizing its marginal interest expense. BORROWINGS. Savings deposits historically have been the primary source of funds for the Bank's lending, investment, and general operating activities. The Bank is authorized, however, to use advances from the FHLB of Cincinnati to supplement its supply of lendable funds and to meet deposit withdrawal requirements. The FHLB of Cincinnati functions as a central reserve bank providing credit for savings institutions and certain other member financial institutions. As a member of the FHLB System, Heritage Federal is required to own stock in the FHLB of Cincinnati and is authorized to apply for advances. Advances are pursuant to several different programs, each of which has its own interest rate and range of maturities. Heritage Federal may obtain advances from the FHLB of Cincinnati subject to underwriting approval. The Bank currently has approval for a cash management advance in the amount of $25.0 million, which can be accessed immediately should the need arise. The Bank has executed a blanket pledge of its mortgage loan portfolio as collateral for all outstanding advances from the FHLB. The Bank had approximately $18.1 million of advances outstanding at June 30, 1995, and these advances were obtained for the purpose of increasing the Bank's net interest income through the funding of additional purchases of mortgage-backed securities and CMO's. TRUST ACTIVITIES The Bank has offered personal trust services since 1985. The Bank acts as trustee for discretionary and non-discretionary accounts. The Bank's trust activities include the administration of estates and testamentary trusts, acting as trustee for profit-sharing plans and self-directed individual retirement accounts, and acting in a variety of other fiduciary and custodial capacities. At June 30, 1995, the Bank's Trust Department had $26.2 million in assets under management. SUBSIDIARY ACTIVITIES As a federally chartered savings bank, Heritage Federal is permitted to invest an amount equal to 2% of its assets in subsidiaries with an additional investment of 1% of assets where such investment serves primarily community, inner-city and community development purposes. Under such limitations, as of June 30, 1995 Heritage Federal was authorized to invest up to approximately $15.5 million in the stock of or loans to subsidiaries, including the additional 1% investment for community inner-city and community development purposes. Heritage Federal may currently invest up to 50% of its regulatory capital in conforming first mortgage loans to subsidiaries in which it owns 10% or more of the capital stock. The Bank's only service corporation is Citizens Financial, in which its investment was $1.8 million at June 30, 1995. The activities of Citizens Financial are currently not significant. Citizens Financial's principal activity is that of a title insurance agency. Approximately 80% of its policies are generated by the Bank's lending activity, with the remainder related to local attorneys' activities and national referrals. Citizens Financial is an agent of Ticor Title Insurance Company and Old Republic National Title Insurance Company. In August 1993, Citizens Financial entered into a three-year agreement with third-party vendors under which the vendors sold annuities and securities in the thirteen branch offices of the Bank and Citizens Financial will leased space to the vendors. Citizens Financial received a percentage of the commissions related to the sale of those products and did not assume any related risk or expense, except as to certain supplies and office equipment. The sales operations commenced at the end of September 1993. This arrangement continued throughout most of fiscal year 1995. 24 25 SAIF-insured savings institutions such as Heritage Federal must give the FDIC and the Director of the OTS 30 days prior notice before establishing or acquiring a new subsidiary, or commencing any new activity through an existing subsidiary. Both the FDIC and the Director of the OTS have authority to order termination of subsidiary activities determined to pose a risk to the safety or soundness of the institution. In addition, recently adopted capital requirements require savings institutions to deduct the amount of their investments in and extensions of credit to subsidiaries engaged in activities not permissible to national banks from capital in determining regulatory capital compliance. The activities of Citizens Financial are permissible for national banks. EMPLOYEES As of June 30, 1995, the Company and its subsidiary had 159 full-time and 17 part-time employees, none of whom was represented by a collective bargaining agreement. COMPETITION The Bank faces strong competition both in originating real estate and other loans and in attracting deposits. The Bank competes for real estate and other loans principally on the basis of interest rates and the loan fees it charges, the types of loans it originates and the quality of services it provides to borrowers. Its primary competition in originating real estate loans comes from other savings institutions, credit unions and mortgage bankers making loans secured by real estate located in the Bank's market areas. Commercial banks, credit unions, and finance companies provide vigorous competition in consumer lending. The Bank attracts all its deposits through its branch offices primarily from the communities in which those branch offices are located. Consequently, competition for deposits is principally from other savings institutions, commercial banks, credit unions and brokers in these communities. Heritage Federal competes for deposits and loans by offering a variety of deposit accounts at competitive rates, a wide array of loan products, convenient business hours and branch locations, a commitment to outstanding customer service and a well-trained staff. In addition, the Bank believes it has developed strong relationships with local businesses, realtors, and the public in general giving it an excellent image in the community. Management believes its primary market to be the city of Kingsport and the immediately surrounding area. Management believes that the Bank is the fourth largest depository institution in this market with approximately 13.2% of the aggregate deposits. In Oak Ridge, the Bank's second leading market, the Bank holds approximately 7.2% of the deposits, making it the seventh largest depository institution, fourth largest non-credit union depository institution, and the largest savings institution in this market. REGULATION OF THE BANK GENERAL. As a savings association, Heritage Federal is subject to extensive regulation by the OTS. The lending activities and other investments of the Bank must comply with various federal regulatory requirements. The OTS will periodically examine the Bank for compliance with various regulatory requirements. The FDIC also has the authority to conduct examinations of SAIF members. The Bank must file reports with OTS describing its activities and financial condition. The Bank is also subject to certain reserve requirements promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board. This supervision and regulation is intended primarily for the protection of depositors. Certain of these regulatory requirements are referred to below or appear elsewhere herein. FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK SYSTEM. The Bank is a member of the FHLB System, which consists of twelve district Federal Home Loan Banks subject to supervision and regulation by the Federal Housing Finance Board ("FHFB"). The Federal Home Loan Banks provide a central credit facility primarily for member institutions. As a member of the FHLB of Cincinnati, the Bank is required to acquire and hold shares of capital stock in the FHLB of Cincinnati in an amount at least equal to 1% of the aggregate unpaid principal of its home mortgage loans, home purchase contracts, and similar obligations at the beginning of each year, or 1/20 of its advances (borrowings) from the FHLB of Cincinnati, whichever is greater. The FHLB of Cincinnati serves as a reserve or central bank for its 25 26 member institutions within its assigned district. It is funded primarily from proceeds derived from the sale of consolidated obligations of the FHLB System. It makes advances to members in accordance with policies and procedures established by the FHFB and the Board of Directors of the FHLB of Cincinnati. Long-term advances may only be made for the purpose of providing funds for residential housing finance. See "Sources of Funds -- Borrowings." LIQUIDITY REQUIREMENTS. The Bank is required to maintain average daily balances of liquid assets (cash, certain time deposits, bankers' acceptances, highly rated corporate debt and commercial paper, securities of certain mutual funds, and specified United States government, state or federal agency obligations) equal to the monthly average of not less than a specified percentage (currently 5%) of its net withdrawable savings deposits plus short-term borrowings. The Bank is also required to maintain average daily balances of short-term liquid assets at a specified percentage (currently 1%) of the total of its net withdrawable savings accounts and borrowings payable in one year or less. Monetary penalties may be imposed for failure to meet liquidity requirements. The average daily liquidity and short-term ratios of the Bank for the month ended June 30, 1995 were 19.25% and 5.07%, respectively. QUALIFIED THRIFT LENDER TEST. A savings association that does not meet the Qualified Thrift Lender test ("QTL Test") must either convert to a bank charter or comply with the following restrictions on its operations: (i) the institution may not engage in any new activity or make any new investment, directly or indirectly, unless such activity or investment is permissible for a national bank; (ii) the branching powers of the institution shall be restricted to those of a national bank; (iii) the institution shall not be eligible to obtain any advances from its FHLB; and (iv) payment of dividends by the institution shall be subject to the rules regarding payment of dividends by a national bank. Upon the expiration of three years from the date the institution ceases to be a Qualified Thrift Lender, it must cease any activity, and not retain any investment not permissible for a national bank and immediately repay any outstanding FHLB advances (subject to safety and soundness considerations). Effective January 1, 1992, the QTL Test was amended to require that Qualified Thrift Investments represent 65% of portfolio assets rather than 70% as required after July 1, 1992. Under OTS implementing regulations, portfolio assets are defined as total assets less intangibles, the value of property used by a savings association in its business and liquidity investments in an amount not exceeding 20% of assets. OTS regulations define Qualified Thrift Investments to include, among other things, loans that were made to purchase, refinance, construct, improve or repair domestic residential housing, home equity loans, mortgage-backed securities, FHLB, FHLMC or FNMA stock and, subject to a 5% of assets limitation, loans for personal, family. household or education purposes. Qualified Thrift Investments do not include any intangible asset. Subject to a 20% of portfolio assets limit, savings associations are able to treat as Qualified Thrift Investments 200% of their investments in loans to finance "starter homes" and loans for construction, development or improvement of housing and community service facilities or for financing small businesses in "credit-needy" areas. A savings association that was not subject to penalties for failure to maintain Qualified Thrift Lender status as of June 30, 1991 shall be deemed a Qualified Thrift Lender so long as its percentage of Qualified Thrift Investments continues to equal or exceed 65% in at least nine out of each 12 months. For the period from January 1, 1992 until December 31, 1992, a savings association ceased to be a Qualified Thrift Lender if its percentage of Qualified Thrift Investments as measured by monthly averages fell below 65% for four or more months. Beginning January 1, 1993, a savings association will cease to be a Qualified Thrift Lender when its percentage of Qualified Thrift Investments as measured by monthly averages over the immediately preceding 12-month period falls below 65% for four or more months. A savings association that fails to maintain Qualified Thrift Lender status will be permitted to requalify once, and if it fails the QTL Test a second time, it will become immediately subject to all penalties as if all time limits on such penalties had expired. Since the Bank was not subject to sanctions for failure to comply with the QTL Test as of June 30, 1991, it will remain in compliance until its monthly average percentage of Qualified Thrift Investments to portfolio assets falls below 65% for four or more months as measured by monthly averages over the preceding 12-month period. At June 30, 1995, the Bank's QTL ratio was 84.84 %. 26 27 DIVIDEND LIMITATIONS. Under OTS regulations, the Bank may not pay dividends on its capital stock if its regulatory capital would thereby be reduced below the amount then required for the liquidation account established for the benefit of certain depositors of the Bank at the time of its conversion to stock form. In addition, savings association subsidiaries of savings and loan holding companies are required to give the OTS 30 days prior notice of any proposed declaration of dividends to the holding company. Federal regulations impose additional limitations on the payment of dividends and other capital distributions (including stock repurchases and cash mergers) by the Bank. Under these regulations, a savings association that, immediately prior to, and on a pro forma basis after giving effect to, a proposed capital distribution, has total capital (as defined by OTS regulation) that is equal to or greater than the amount of its fully phased-in capital requirements (a "Tier 1 Association") is generally permitted without OTS approval to make capital distributions during a calendar year in the amount equal to the higher of (i) 75% of its net income over the most recent four-quarter period or (ii) up to 100% of its net income to date during the calendar year plus an amount that would reduce by one-half the amount by which its total capital to assets ratio exceeded its fully phased-in capital requirement to assets ratio at the beginning of the calendar year. A savings association with total capital in excess of current minimum capital requirements but not in excess of the fully phased-in requirements (a "Tier 2 Association") is permitted to make capital distributions without OTS approval of up to 75% of its net income for the previous four quarters, less dividends already paid for such period depending on the savings association's level of risk-based capital. A savings association that fails to meet current minimum capital requirements (a "Tier 3 Association") is prohibited from making any capital contributions without the prior approval of the OTS. Tier 1 Associations that have been notified by the OTS that they are in need of more than normal supervision will be treated as either a Tier 2 or Tier 3 Association. At June 30, 1995, the Bank was a Tier 1 Association. The Bank is prohibited from making any capital distributions if after making the distribution, it would be undercapitalized as defined in the OTS' prompt corrective action regulations. After consultation with the FDIC, the OTS may permit a savings association to repurchase, redeem, retire or otherwise acquire shares or ownership interests if the repurchase, redemption, retirement or other acquisition: (i) is made in connection with the issuance of additional shares or other obligations of the institution in at least an equivalent amount; and (ii) will reduce the institution's financial obligations or otherwise improve the institution's financial condition. In addition to the foregoing, earnings of the Bank appropriated to bad debt reserves and deducted for federal income tax purposes are not available for payment of cash dividends or other distributions to the Company without payment of taxes at the then current tax rate by the Bank on the amount of earnings removed from the reserves for such distributions. See "Taxation." The Company intends to make full use of this favorable tax treatment afforded to the Bank and the Company and does not contemplate use of any earnings of the Bank in a manner which would limit the Bank's bad debt deduction or create federal tax liabilities. REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS. Under OTS regulations, savings associations must maintain "tangible" capital equal to 1.5% of adjusted total assets, "core" capital equal to 3.0% of adjusted total assets and a combination of core and "supplementary" capital equal to 8.0% of "risk-weighted" assets. In addition, the OTS has recently adopted regulations which impose certain restrictions on savings associations that have a total risk-based capital ratio that is less than 8.0%, a ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of less than 4.0% or a ratio of Tier 1 capital to adjusted total assets of less than 4.0% (or 3.0% if the institution is rated composite 1 under the OTS examination rating system). For purposes of these regulations, Tier 1 capital has the same definitions as core capital. See "-- Prompt Corrective Regulatory Action." Core capital is defined as common stockholders' equity (including retained earnings), noncumulative perpetual preferred stock and related surplus, minority interests in the equity accounts of fully consolidated subsidiaries, certain nonwithdrawable accounts and pledged deposits and "qualifying supervisory goodwill." Qualifying supervisory goodwill is defined generally as goodwill resulting from the acquisition, merger, consolidation, purchase of assets or other business combination (if such transaction occurred on or before April 12, 1989) with or of: (i) a savings association the fair market value of the assets of which were less than the fair market value of its liabilities at the date of acquisition; (ii) a problem institution which includes savings associations that 27 28 failed to meet their regulatory capital requirements or otherwise posed supervisory concerns; or (iii) a savings association which was subject to regulatory controls. Qualifying supervisory goodwill must be amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of 20 years or the amortization period previously in effect. Only eligible savings associations are permitted to include qualifying supervisory goodwill in their capital calculations. An eligible savings association is an association determined by the Director of OTS to have competent management, to be in substantial compliance, as certified by its board of directors, with all applicable statutes, regulations, orders, and written agreements and directives, and to have management that has not engaged in insider dealing, speculative practices or other activities that have jeopardized or may jeopardize the savings association's safety capital. Unless otherwise determined or notified by the Director of OTS, savings associations will be deemed to be eligible savings associations for purposes of including qualifying supervisory goodwill in core capital. Prior to January 1, 1992, the maximum amount of qualifying supervisory goodwill included in core capital could not exceed 1.5% of adjusted total assets with the applicable percentage declining to 0% after December 31, 1994. The excess of cost over fair value of net assets acquired resulting from the Bank's acquisitions in the early 1980s is treated as qualifying supervisory goodwill. Tangible capital is given the same definition as core capital but does not include qualifying supervisory goodwill and is reduced by the amount of all the savings association's intangible assets with only a limited exception for purchased mortgage servicing rights and purchased credit card relationships. Both core and tangible capital are further reduced by an amount equal to savings association's debt and equity investments in subsidiaries engaged in activities not permissible to national banks other than subsidiaries engaged in activities undertaken as agent for customers or in mortgage banking activities and subsidiary depository institutions or their holding companies. Investments in and extensions of credit to such subsidiaries as of April 12, 1989, to the extent still outstanding, however, were not required to be deducted from core and tangible capital until July 1, 1990. Thereafter, an increasing percentage of such investments will be deducted from core and tangible capital until June 30, 1995 when such investments must be fully netted. As of June 30, 1995, the Bank had no investments in or extensions of credit to subsidiaries engaged in activities not permitted to national banks. "Adjusted total assets" are a savings association's total assets as determined under generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), increased by certain goodwill amounts and by a pro-rated portion of the assets of subsidiaries in which the savings association holds a minority interest and which are not engaged in activities for which the capital rules require the savings association to net its debt and equity investments in such subsidiaries against capital, as well as a pro-rated portion of the assets of other subsidiaries for which deduction is not fully required under phase-in rules. Adjusted total assets are reduced by the amount of assets that have been deducted from capital, the portion of savings association's investments in subsidiaries that must be deducted from capital under the capital rules and, for purposes of the core capital requirement, qualifying supervisory goodwill. In determining compliance with the risk-based capital requirement, a savings association is allowed to use both core capital and supplementary capital provided the amount of supplementary capital used does not exceed the savings association's core capital. Supplementary capital is defined to include certain preferred stock issues, nonwithdrawable accounts and pledged deposits that do not qualify as core capital, certain approved subordinated debt, certain other capital instruments and a portion of the savings association's general loss allowances. Total core and supplementary capital are reduced by the amount of capital instruments held by other depository institutions pursuant to reciprocal arrangements and, after July 1, 1990, by an increasing percentage of the savings association's high loan-to-value ratio land loans and non-residential construction loans, and certain equity investments not otherwise deducted from core and tangible capital. The risk-based capital requirement is measured against risk-weighted assets, which equals the sum of each asset and the credit-equivalent amount of each off-balance sheet item after being multiplied by an assigned risk weight. Under the OTS risk- weighting system, one- to four-family first mortgages not more than 90 days past due with loan-to-value ratios under 80% are assigned a risk weight of 50%. Consumer and residential construction loans are assigned a risk weight of 100%. Mortgage-backed securities and other debt securities issued, or fully guaranteed as to principal and interest, by U.S. Government agencies are assigned a 20% risk weight. Cash and U.S. Government securities backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government are given a 0% risk weight. 28 29 The table below presents the Bank's capital position at June 30, 1995, relative to its various minimum regulatory capital requirements. Percent of Amount Assets * ------- -------- (Dollars in thousands) Tangible capital ........................ $51,514 9.77% Tangible capital requirement ............ 7,909 1.50 ------- ----- Excess ................................ $43,605 8.27% ======= ===== Core capital ............................ $51,961 9.85% Core capital requirement ................ 15,832 3.00 ------- ----- Excess ................................ $36,129 6.85% ======= ===== Risk-based capital ...................... $54,208 25.00% Risk-based capital requirement .......... 17,345 8.00 ------- ----- Excess ................................ $36,863 17.00% ======= ===== - -------------------- * Based upon adjusted total assets of $527.3 million for purposes of the tangible capital requirement, $527.7 million for purposes of the core capital requirement, and risk-weighted assets of $217.0 million for purposes of the risk-based capital requirement. The Director of OTS must restrict the asset growth of savings associations not in regulatory capital compliance, subject to a limited exception for growth not exceeding interest credited. In addition, savings associations not in full compliance with capital standards then applicable would be subject to a capital directive which may include such restrictions, including restrictions on the payment of dividends and on compensation, as deemed appropriate by the Director of OTS. Institutions not in capital compliance must, within 60 days thereafter, submit a capital plan to the OTS District Director for approval explaining in detail its proposed strategies for raising capital and for accomplishing its overall objective, and the institution may concurrently apply for an exemption from a capital directive. The Director of OTS is directed to treat as an unsafe and unsound practice any material failure by a savings association to comply with a capital plan or capital directive. The sanctions and penalties that could be imposed range from restrictions on branching or on the activities of the institution, to restrictions on the ability to obtain FHLB advances, to termination of insurance of accounts following appropriate proceedings, to the appointment of a conservator or receiver. A savings association not in full compliance with the capital standards could apply for a limited exemption from sanctions. If the exemption is granted, the savings association would still remain subject to restrictions on growth. OTS staff policies specify that savings associations failing any one of their minimum regulatory capital requirements may not increase their total assets during any quarter in excess of an amount equal to net interest credited during the quarter. Under these policies, associations that have submitted capital plans that are rejected by the District Director or that have had capital plans approved but do not meet the targets or requirements of the capital plan may not make any new loans or investments except with the prior written approval of the District Director. Such approval will only be granted when the proposed loan or investment is reasonable in the context of the association's operations and does not significantly increase the risk profile of the savings association. 29 30 In addition to requiring generally applicable capital standards for savings associations, the Director of OTS may establish the minimum level of capital for a savings association at such amount or at such ratio of capital-to-assets as the Director determines to be necessary or appropriate for such association in light of the particular circumstances of the association. The Director of OTS may treat the failure of any savings association to maintain capital at or above such level as an unsafe or unsound practice and may issue a directive requiring any savings association which fails to maintain capital at or above the minimum level required by the Director to submit and adhere to a plan for increasing capital. Such an order may be enforced in the same manner as an order issued by the FDIC. Under FIRREA, the capital standards applicable to savings associations must be no less than those applicable to national banks. On September 17, 1990, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency ("OCC") announced the adoption, effective December 31, 1990, of regulations implementing more stringent core capital requirements for national banks. The OCC regulations establish a new minimum core capital ratio of 3% for the most highly rated banks, with at least an additional 100 to 200 basis point "cushion" amount of additional capital required on a case-by-case basis, considering the quality of risk management systems and the overall risk in individual banks. The OTS has recently adopted an amendment to its risk-based capital requirements that, effective September 30, 1994, required savings institutions with more than a "normal" level of interest rate risk to maintain additional total capital. A savings institution's interest rate risk will be measured in terms of the sensitivity of its "net portfolio value" to changes in interest rates. Net portfolio value is defined, generally, as the present value of expected cash inflows from existing assets and off-balance sheet contracts less the present value of expected cash outflows from existing liabilities. A savings institution will be considered to have a "normal" level of interest rate risk exposure if the decline in its net portfolio value after an immediate 200 basis point increase or decrease in market interest rates (whichever results in the greater decline) is less than two percent of the current estimated economic value of its assets. A savings institution with a greater than normal interest rate risk will be required to deduct from total capital, for purposes of calculating its risk-based capital requirement, an amount (the "interest rate risk component") equal to one-half the difference between the institution's measured interest rate risk and the normal level of interest rate risk, multiplied by the economic value of its total assets. The OTS will calculate the sensitivity of a savings institution's net portfolio value based on data submitted by the institution in a schedule to its quarterly Thrift Financial Report and using the interest rate risk measurement model adopted by the OTS. The amount of the interest rate risk component, if any, to be deducted from a savings institution's total capital will be based on the institution's Thrift Financial Report filed three quarters earlier. The Bank does not expect that this regulation will require it to reduce its capital materially for purposes of determining compliance with its risk-based capital requirement. PROMPT CORRECTIVE REGULATORY ACTION. Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act ("FDICIA"), the federal banking regulators are required to take prompt corrective action if an insured depository institution fails to satisfy certain minimum capital requirements. All institutions, regardless of their capital levels, are restricted from making any capital distribution or paying any management fees if the institution would thereafter fail to satisfy the minimum levels for any of its capital requirements. An institution that fails to meet the minimum level for any relevant capital measure (an "undercapitalized institution") may be: (i) subject to increased monitoring by the appropriate federal banking regulator; (ii) required to submit an acceptable capital restoration plan within 45 days; (iii) subject to asset growth limits; and (iv) required to obtain prior regulatory approval for acquisitions, branching and new lines of businesses. The capital restoration plan must include a guarantee by the institution's holding company that the institution will comply with the plan until it has been adequately capitalized on average for four consecutive quarters, under which the holding company would be liable up to the lesser of 5% of the institution's total assets or the amount necessary to bring the institution into capital compliance as of the date it failed to comply with its capital restoration plan. A "significantly undercapitalized" institution, as well as any undercapitalized institution that did not submit an acceptable capital restoration plan, may be subject to regulatory 30 31 demands for recapitalization, broader application of restrictions on transactions with affiliates, limitations on interest rates paid on deposits, asset growth and other activities, possible replacement of directors and officers, and restrictions on capital distributions by any bank holding company controlling the institution. Any company controlling the institution could also be required to divest the institution or the institution could be required to divest subsidiaries. The senior executive officers of a significantly undercapitalized institution may not receive bonuses or increases in compensation without prior approval and the institution is prohibited from making payments of principal or interest on its subordinated debt. In their discretion, the federal banking regulators may also impose the foregoing sanctions on an undercapitalized institution if the regulators determine that such actions are necessary to carry out the purposes of the prompt corrective action provisions. If an institution's ratio of tangible capital to total assets falls below a "critical capital level," the institution will be subject to conservatorship or receivership within 90 days unless periodic determinations are made that forbearance from such action would better protect the deposit insurance fund. Unless appropriate findings and certifications are made by the appropriate federal bank regulatory agencies, a critically undercapitalized institution must be placed in receivership if it remains critically undercapitalized on average during the calendar quarter beginning 270 days after the date it became critically undercapitalized. If a savings association is in compliance with an approved capital plan on the date of enactment of FDICIA, however, it will not be required to submit a capital restoration plan if it is undercapitalized or become subject to the statutory prompt corrective action provisions applicable to significantly and critically undercapitalized institutions prior to July 1, 1994. Effective December 19, 1992, the federal banking regulators, including the OTS, adopted regulations implementing the prompt corrective action provisions of FDICIA. Under such regulations, the federal banking regulators will measure a depository institution's capital adequacy on the basis of the institution's total risk-based capital ratio (the ratio of its total capital to risk-weighted assets), Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio (the ratio of its core capital to risk-weighted assets) and leverage ratio (the ratio of its core capital to adjusted total assets). Under the regulations, a savings association that is not subject to an order or written directive to meet or maintain a specific capital level will be deemed "well capitalized" if it also has: (i) a total risk-based capital ratio of 10% or greater; (ii) a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6.0% or greater; and (iii) a leverage ratio of 5.0% or greater. An "adequately capitalized" savings association is a savings association that does not meet the definition of well capitalized and has: (i) a total risk-based capital ratio of 8.0% or greater; (ii) a Tier 1 capital risk-based ratio of 4.0% or greater; and (iii) a leverage ratio of 4.0% or greater (or 3.0% or greater if the savings association has a composite 1 CAMEL rating). An "undercapitalized institution" is a savings association that has (i) a total risk-based capital ratio less than 8.0%; or (ii) a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of less than 4.0%; or (iii) a leverage ratio of less than 4.0% (or 3.0% if the association has a composite 1 CAMEL rating). A "significantly undercapitalized" institution is defined as a savings association that has: (i) a total risk-based capital ratio of less than 6.0%; or (ii) a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of less than 3.0%; or (iii) a leverage ratio of less than 3.0%. A "critically undercapitalized" savings association is defined as a savings association that has a ratio of "tangible equity" to total assets of less than 2.0%. Tangible equity is defined as core capital plus cumulative perpetual preferred stock (and related surplus) less all intangibles other than qualifying supervisory goodwill and certain purchased mortgage servicing rights. The OTS may reclassify a well capitalized savings association as adequately capitalized and may require an adequately capitalized or undercapitalized association to comply with the supervisory actions applicable to associations in the next lower capital category if the OTS determines, after notice and an opportunity for a hearing, that the savings association is in an unsafe or unsound condition or that the association has received and not corrected a less-than- satisfactory rating for any CAMEL rating category. The Bank is classified as "well-capitalized" under the new regulations. 31 32 The table below presents the Bank's capital position at June 30, 1995, relative to its various minimum regulatory capital requirements under the prompt corrective regulations. Percent of Amount Assets * ------- -------- (Dollars in thousands) Tangible equity . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $51,514 9.77% Tangible equity requirement . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 10,546 2.00 ------- ----- Excess . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $40,968 7.77% ======= ===== Tier 1 or leverage capital . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $51,961 9.85% Tier 1 or leverage capital requirement . . . . . . . . 21,109 4.00 ------- ----- Excess . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $30,852 5.85% ======= ===== Tier 1 risk-based capital . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $51,961 23.97% Tier 1 risk-based capital requirement . . . . . . . . . 8,673 4.00 ------- ----- Excess . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $43,288 19.97% ======= ===== Risk-based capital . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $54,208 25.00% Risk-based capital requirement . . . . . . . . . . . . 17,345 8.00 ------- ----- Excess . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $36,863 17.00% ======= ===== - -------------------- * Based upon adjusted total assets for purposes of the tangible equity and Tier 1 or leverage capital requirements, and risk-weighted assets for purposes of the Tier 1 risk-based and risk- based capital requirements. SAFETY AND SOUNDNESS GUIDELINES. Under FDICIA, as amended by the Riegle Community Development and Regulatory Improvement Act of 1994 (the "CDRI Act"), each Federal banking agency is required to establish safety and soundness standards for institutions under its authority. On July 10, 1995, the Federal banking agencies, including the OTS, released Interagency Guidelines Establishing Standards for Safety and Soundness and published a final rule establishing deadlines for submission and review of safety and soundness compliance plans. The final rule and the guidelines went into effect on August 9, 1995. The guidelines require savings institutions to maintain internal controls and information systems and internal audit systems that are appropriate for the size, nature and scope of the institution's business. The guidelines also establish certain basic standards for loan documentation, credit underwriting, interest rate risk exposure, and asset growth. The guidelines further provide that savings institutions should maintain safeguards to prevent the payment of compensation, fees and benefits that are excessive or that could lead to material financial loss, and should take into account factors such as comparable compensation practices at comparable institutions. If the OTS determines that a savings institution is not in compliance with the safety and soundness guidelines, it may require the institution to submit an acceptable plan to achieve compliance with the guidelines. A savings institution must submit an acceptable compliance plan to the OTS within 30 days of receipt of a request for such a plan. Failure to submit or implement a compliance plan may subject the institution to regulatory sanctions. Management believes that the Bank already meets substantially all the standards adopted in the interagency guidelines, and therefore does not believe that implementation of these regulatory standards will materially affect the Bank's operations. Additionally under FDICIA, as amended by the CDRI Act, the Federal banking agencies are required to establish standards relating to the asset quality and earnings that the agencies determine to be appropriate. On July 10, 1995, the Federal banking agencies, including the OTS, issued proposed guidelines relating to asset quality and 32 33 earnings. Under the proposed guidelines a savings institution should maintain systems, commensurate with its size and the nature and scope of its operations, to identify problem assets and prevent deterioration in those assets as well as to evaluate and monitor earnings and ensure that earnings are sufficient to maintain adequate capital and reserves. Management believes that the asset quality and earnings standards, in the form proposed by the banking agencies, would not have a material effect on the Bank's operations. DEPOSIT INSURANCE. The Bank is required to pay assessments based on a percent of its insured deposits to the FDIC for insurance of its deposits by the SAIF. Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, the FDIC is required to set semi-annual assessments for SAIF-insured institutions to achieve the designated reserve ratio of the SAIF at 1.25% of estimated insured deposits or at a higher percentage of estimated insured deposits that the FDIC determines to be justified for that year by circumstances raising a significant risk of substantial future losses to the SAIF. Under the risk-based deposit insurance assessment system adopted by the FDIC, the assessment rate for an insured depository institution depends on the assessment risk classification assigned to the institution by the FDIC, which is determined by the institution's capital level and supervisory evaluations. Based on the data reported to regulators for the date closest to the last day of the seventh month preceding the semi-annual assessment period, institutions are assigned to one of three capital groups -- well capitalized, adequately capitalized or undercapitalized -- using the same percentage criteria as under the prompt corrective action regulations. See " -- Prompt Corrective Regulatory Action." Within each capital group, institutions are assigned to one of three subgroups on the basis of supervisory evaluations by the institution's primary supervisory authority and such other information as the FDIC determines to be relevant to the institution's financial condition and the risk posed to the deposit insurance fund. Subgroup A consists of financially sound institutions with only a few minor weaknesses. Subgroup B consists of institutions that demonstrate weaknesses which, if not corrected, could result in significant deterioration of the institution and increased risk of loss to the deposit insurance fund. Subgroup C consists of institutions that pose a substantial probability of loss to the deposit insurance fund unless effective corrective action is taken. The assessment rate for SAIF-insured institutions ranges from 0.23% of deposits for well capitalized institutions in Subgroup A to 0.31% of deposits for undercapitalized institutions in Subgroup C. The FDIC has recently amended the risk-based assessment schedule to significantly lower the deposit insurance assessment rate for most commercial banks and other depository institutions with deposits insured by the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF") effective during the semi-annual period after the BIF achieves its designated reserve ratio of 1.25% of BIF-insured deposits. Under the new BIF assessment schedule, the assessment rates of BIF-insured institutions will range from 0.31% of insured deposits for undercapitalized BIF-institutions in supervisory Subgroup C to 0.04% of deposits for well-capitalized institutions in supervisory Subgroup A, which constitute over 90% of BIF-insured institutions. The FDIC has indicated that it believes that the BIF achieved the statutorily-designated reserve ratio during the quarter ended June 30, 1995 and will refund any excess premiums paid by BIF-insured institutions as soon as the reserve ratio is confirmed. The FDIC does not anticipate that the assessment rate for SAIF-insured institutions in even the lowest risk-based premium category will fall below the current 0.23% of insured deposits before the year 2002 absent a recapitalization of the SAIF. The new BIF assessment schedule would result in a substantial disparity in the deposit insurance premiums paid by BIF and SAIF members and could place SAIF-insured savings associations such as the Bank at a significant competitive disadvantage to BIF-insured institutions. Congress and the Administration are currently discussing various proposals for the recapitalization of the SAIF. These proposals include the payment of a one-time special assessment by SAIF-insured institutions in an amount equal to at least 0.85% of their insured deposits. Based on the Bank's total deposits at June 30, 1995, such a payment could be $3.8 million or higher. No prediction can be made as to what action, if any, will be taken to recapitalize the SAIF or as to the final form or timing of any such action. SAIF members are generally prohibited from converting to the status of BIF members, or merging with or transferring assets to a BIF member before the date on which the SAIF first meets or exceeds the designated reserve ratio. The FDIC, however, may approve such a transaction in the case of a SAIF member in default or if the 33 34 transaction involves an insubstantial portion of the deposits of each participant. In addition, mergers, transfers of assets and assumptions of liabilities may be approved by the appropriate bank regulator so long as deposit insurance premiums continue to be paid to the SAIF for deposits attributable to the SAIF members plus an adjustment for the annual rate of growth of deposits in the surviving bank without regard to subsequent acquisitions. Each depository institution participating in a SAIF-to-BIF conversion transaction is required to pay an exit fee to SAIF and an entrance fee to BIF. A savings association that adopts a commercial bank or savings bank charter prior to the date on which the SAIF first meets or exceeds the designated reserve ratio must remain a SAIF member. The FDIC has adopted a regulation which provides that any insured depository institution with a ratio of Tier 1 capital to total assets of less than 2% will be deemed to be operating in an unsafe or unsound condition, which would constitute grounds for the initiation of termination of deposit insurance proceedings. The FDIC, however, would not initiate termination of insurance proceedings if the depository institution has entered into and is in compliance with a written agreement with its primary regulator, and the FDIC is a party to the agreement, to increase its Tier 1 capital to such level as the FDIC deems appropriate. Tier 1 capital is defined as the sum of common stockholders' equity, noncumulative perpetual preferred stock (including any related surplus) and minority interests in consolidated subsidiaries, minus all intangible assets other than mortgage servicing rights and qualifying supervisory goodwill eligible for inclusion in core capital under OTS regulations and minus identified losses and investments in certain securities subsidiaries. Insured depository institutions with Tier 1 capital equal to or greater than 2% of total assets may also be deemed to be operating in an unsafe or unsound condition notwithstanding such capital level. The regulation further provides that in considering applications that must be submitted to it by savings associations, the FDIC will take into account whether the savings association is meeting with the Tier 1 capital requirement for state non-member banks of 4% of total assets for all but the most highly rated state non-member banks. FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM. Pursuant to regulations of the Federal Reserve Board, a thrift institution must maintain average daily reserves in a manner sufficient to satisfy its reserve requirements on reservable liabilities. For reservable liabilities exceeding $4.2 million, the institution must maintain reserves of 3% on balances up to $54.0 million. On balances exceeding $54.0 million, the reserve requirement increases to 10%. Because required reserves are maintained in the form of vault cash or in a non-interest bearing account at a Federal Reserve Bank, the effect of the reserve requirement is to reduce the amount of the institution's interest-earning assets. As of June 30, 1995, the Bank met its reserve requirements. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES. Transactions between savings associations and any affiliate are governed by Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act. An affiliate of a savings association is any company or entity which controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the savings association. In a holding company context, the parent holding company of a savings association (such as the Company) and any companies which are controlled by such parent holding company are affiliates of the savings association. Generally, Sections 23A and 23B (i) limit the extent to which the savings institution or its subsidiaries may engage in "covered transactions" with any one affiliate to an amount equal to 10% of such institution's capital stock and surplus, and contain an aggregate limit on all such transactions with all affiliates to an amount equal to 20% of such capital stock and surplus and (ii) require that all such transactions be on terms substantially the same, or at least as favorable, to the institution or subsidiary as those provided to a non-affiliate. The term "covered transaction" includes the making of loans, purchase of assets, issuance of a guarantee and similar other types of transactions. In addition to the restrictions imposed by Sections 23A and 23B, no savings association may (i) loan or otherwise extend credit to an affiliate, except for any affiliate which engages only in activities which are permissible for bank holding companies, or (ii) purchase or invest in any stocks, bonds, debentures, notes or similar obligations of any affiliate, except for affiliates which are subsidiaries of the savings association. Savings associations are also subject to the restrictions contained in Section 22(h) of the Federal Reserve Act on loans to executive officers, directors and principal stockholders. Under Section 22(h), loans to a director, executive officer or greater than 10% stockholder of a savings association and certain affiliated interests of the foregoing, may not exceed, together with all other outstanding loans to such person and affiliated interests, the 34 35 association's loans to one borrower limit (generally equal to 15% of the institution's unimpaired capital and surplus) and all loans to such persons may not exceed the institution's unimpaired capital and unimpaired surplus. Section 22(h) also prohibits loans, above amounts prescribed by the appropriate federal banking agency, to directors, executive officers and greater than 10% stockholders of a savings association, and their respective affiliates, unless such loan is approved in advance by a majority of the board of directors of the association with any "interested" director not participating in the voting. The Federal Reserve Board has prescribed the loan amount (which includes all other outstanding loans to such person), as to which such prior board of director approval if required, as being the greater of $25,000 or 5% of capital and surplus (up to $500,000). Further, the Federal Reserve Board pursuant to Section 22(h) requires that loans to directors, executive officers and principal stockholders be made on terms substantially the same as offered in comparable transactions to other persons. Section 22(h) also prohibits a depository institution from paying the overdrafts of any of its executive officers or directors. Savings associations are further subject to the requirements and restrictions of Section 22(g) of the Federal Reserve Act on loans to executive officers and the restrictions of 12 U.S.C. Section 1972 on certain tying arrangements and extensions of credit by correspondent banks. Section 22(g) of the Federal Reserve Act requires that loans to executive officers of depository institutions not be made on terms more favorable than those afforded to other borrowers, requires approval for such extensions of credit by the board of directors of the institution, and imposes reporting requirements for and additional restrictions on the type, amount and terms of credits to such officers. Section 1972 (i) prohibits a depository institution from extending credit to or offering any other services, or fixing or varying the consideration for such extension of credit or service, on the condition that the customer obtain some additional service from the institution or certain of its affiliates or not obtain services of a competitor of the institution, subject to certain exceptions, and (ii) prohibits extensions of credit to executive officers, directors, and greater than 10% stockholders of a depository institution by any other institution which has a correspondent banking relationship with the institution, unless such extension of credit is on substantially the same terms as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other persons and does not involve more than the normal risk of repayment or present other unfavorable features. REGULATION OF THE COMPANY GENERAL. The Company is a unitary savings and loan holding company within the meaning of the Home Owners' Loan Act. As such, the Company is registered with the OTS and subject to OTS regulations, examinations, supervision and reporting requirements. ACTIVITIES RESTRICTIONS. The Board of Directors of the Company presently intends to operate the Company as a unitary savings and loan holding company. There are generally no restrictions on the activities of a unitary savings and loan holding company. However, if the director of OTS determines that there is reasonable cause to believe that the continuation by a savings and loan holding company of an activity constitutes a serious risk to the financial safety, soundness, or stability of its subsidiary savings association, the Director of OTS may impose such restrictions as deemed necessary to address such risk and limiting (i) payment of dividends by the savings association, (ii) transactions between the savings association and its affiliates, and (iii) any activities of the savings association that might create a serious risk that the liabilities of the holding company and its affiliates may be imposed on the savings association. Notwithstanding the above rules as to permissible business activities of unitary savings and loan holding companies, if the savings association subsidiary of such a holding company fails to meet the QTL Test, then such unitary holding company shall also presently become subject to the activities restrictions applicable to multiple holding companies and unless the savings association requalifies as a Qualified Thrift Lender within one year thereafter, register as, and become subject to, the restrictions applicable to a bank holding company. If the Company were to acquire control of another savings association, other than through merger or other business combination with the Bank, the Company would thereupon become a multiple savings and loan holding company. Except where such acquisition is pursuant to the authority to approve emergency thrift acquisitions and where each subsidiary savings association meets the QTL Test, the activities of the Company and any of its subsidiaries (other than the Bank or other subsidiary savings institutions) would thereafter be subject to further restrictions. 35 36 The Home Owners' Loan Act, as amended by FIRREA, provides that, among other things, no multiple savings and loan holding company or subsidiary thereof which is not a savings association shall commence or continue for a limited period of time after becoming a multiple savings and loan holding company or subsidiary thereof, any business activity, upon prior notice to, and no objection by the OTS, other than (i) furnishing or performing management services for a subsidiary savings association, (ii) conducting an insurance agency or escrow business, (iii) holding, managing, or liquidating assets owned by or acquired from a subsidiary savings institution, (iv) holding or managing properties used or occupied by a subsidiary savings institution, (v) acting as trustee under deeds of trust, (vi) those activities previously directly authorized by the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation by regulation as of March 5, 1987 to be engaged in by multiple holding companies or (vii) those activities authorized by the Federal Reserve Board as permissible for bank holding companies, unless the Director of OTS by regulation prohibits or limits such activities for savings and loan holding companies. Those activities described in (vii) above must also be approved by the Director of OTS prior to being engaged in by a multiple holding company. RESTRICTIONS ON ACQUISITIONS. Savings and loan holding companies are prohibited from acquiring, without prior approval of the Director of OTS, (i) control of any other savings association or savings and loan holding company or substantially all the assets thereof or (ii) more than 5% of the voting shares of a savings association or holding company thereof which is not a subsidiary. Under certain circumstances, a registered savings and loan holding company is permitted to acquire, with the approval of the Director of OTS, up to 15% of the voting shares of an under-capitalized savings association pursuant to a "qualified stock issuance" without that savings association being deemed controlled by the holding company. In order for the shares acquired to constitute a "qualified stock issuance," the shares must consist of previously unissued stock or treasury shares, the shares must be acquired for cash, the savings and loan holding company's other subsidiaries must have tangible capital of at least 6-1/2% of total assets, there must not be more than one common director or officer between the savings and loan holding company and the issuing savings association and transactions between the savings association and the savings and loan holding company and any of its affiliates must conform to Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act. Except with the prior approval of the Director of OTS, no director or officer of a savings and loan holding company or person owning or controlling by proxy or otherwise more than 25% of such company's stock, may also acquire control of any savings association, other than a subsidiary savings association, or of any other savings and loan holding company. The Director of OTS may only approve acquisitions resulting in the formation of a multiple savings and loan holding company which controls savings associations in more than one state if: (i) the multiple savings and loan holding company involved controls a savings institution which operated a home or branch office in the state of the association to be acquired as of March 5, 1987; (ii) the acquiror is authorized to acquire control of the savings association pursuant to the emergency acquisition provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act; or (iii) the statutes of the state in which the association to be acquired is located specifically permit institutions to be acquired by state-chartered associations or savings and loan holding companies located in the state where the acquiring entity is located (or by a holding company that controls such state-chartered savings institutions). Tennessee law authorizes the acquisition of a savings association with its principal place of business in Tennessee, or a savings and loan holding company with its principal place of business in Tennessee and which is not controlled by any other savings and loan holding company, by an out-of-state savings and loan holding company or out-of-state savings association, subject to approval of the Tennessee Commissioner of Financial Institutions. An "out-of-state savings and loan holding company" is a savings and loan holding company with its principal place of business in a state other than Tennessee and which is not controlled by any other savings and loan holding company. The Tennessee Commissioner may only approve such an acquisition if the laws of the state in which the out-of-state savings and loan holding company or out-of-state savings association has its principal place of business both (i) allow Tennessee savings associations and Tennessee savings and loan holding companies to acquire savings associations and savings and loan holding companies in that state and (ii) allow the Tennessee savings association or Tennessee savings and loan holding company which is being acquired to acquire the out-of-state savings association or out-of-state savings and loan holding company seeking to make the acquisition. 36 37 The OTS has recently amended its regulations to permit federal associations to branch in any state or states of the United States and its territories. Except in supervisory cases or when interstate branching is otherwise permitted by state law or other statutory provision, a federal association may not establish an out-of-state branch unless (i) the federal association qualifies as a "domestic building and loan association" under Section 7701(a)(19) of the Internal Revenue Code and the total assets attributable to all branches of the association in the state would qualify such branches taken as a whole for treatment as a domestic building and loan association and (ii) such branch would not result in (a) formation of a prohibited multi-state multiple savings and loan holding company or (b) a violation of certain statutory restrictions on branching by savings association subsidiaries of banking holding companies. Federal associations generally may not establish new branches unless the association meets or exceeds minimum regulatory capital requirements. The OTS will also consider the association's record of compliance with the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977 in connection with any branch application. The Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 authorizes the Federal Reserve Board to approve an application by a bank holding company to acquire control of any savings association. Pursuant to rules promulgated by the Federal Reserve Board, owning, controlling or operating a savings association is a permissible activity for bank holding companies if the savings association engages only in deposit-taking activities and lending and other activities that are permissible for bank holding companies. In approving such an application, the Federal Reserve Board may not impose any restriction on transactions between the savings association and its holding company affiliates except as required by Sections 23A and 23B of the Federal Reserve Act. A bank holding company that controls a savings association may merge or consolidate the assets and liabilities of the savings association with, or transfer assets and liabilities to, any subsidiary bank which is a member of the BIF with the approval of the appropriate federal banking agency and the Federal Reserve Board. The resulting bank will be required to continue to pay assessments to the SAIF at the rates prescribed for SAIF members on the deposits attributable to the merged savings association plus an annual deposit growth increment. In addition, the transaction must comply with the restrictions on interstate acquisitions of commercial banks under the Bank Holding Company Act. TAXATION GENERAL. The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return with the Bank and the Bank's subsidiary based upon a fiscal year ending June 30. Consolidated returns have the effect of eliminating intercompany distributions, including dividends, from the computation of consolidated taxable income for the taxable year in which the distributions occur. FEDERAL AND STATE INCOME TAXATION. Savings institutions are subject to the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") in the same general manner as other corporations. However, institutions such as the Bank which meet certain definitional tests and other conditions prescribed by the Code may benefit from certain favorable provisions regarding their deductions from taxable income for annual additions to their bad debt reserve. For purposes of the bad debt reserve deduction, loans are separated into "qualifying real property loans," which generally are loans secured by interests in certain real property, and nonqualifying loans, which are all other loans. The bad debt reserve deduction with respect to nonqualifying loans must be based on actual loss experience. The amount of the bad debt reserve deduction with respect to qualifying real property loans may be based upon actual loss experience (the "experience method") or a percentage of taxable income determined without regard to such deduction (the "percentage of taxable income method"). The Bank has generally elected to use the method which has resulted in the greatest deductions for federal income tax purposes. Under the experience method, the bad debt deduction for an addition to the reserve for qualifying real property loans is an amount determined under a formula based generally on the bad debts actually sustained by a savings institution over a period of years. Under the percentage of taxable income method, the bad debt reserve deduction for qualifying real property loans is computed as a percentage, which Congress has reduced from as much as 60% in prior years to 8% of taxable income, with certain adjustments, effective for taxable years 37 38 beginning after 1986. The allowable deduction under the percentage of taxable income method (the "percentage bad debt deduction") for taxable years beginning before 1987 was scaled downward in the event that less than 82% of the total dollar amount of the assets of an institution were within certain designated categories. When the percentage method bad debt deduction was lowered to 8%, the 82% qualifying assets requirement was lowered to 60%. For all taxable years, there is no deduction in the event that less than 60% of the total dollar amount of the assets of an institution falls within such categories. Moreover, in such case, the Bank could be required to recapture, generally over a period of up to four years, its existing bad debt reserve. As of June 30, 1995, more than the required amount of the Bank's total assets fell within such category. The bad debt deduction under the percentage of taxable income method is subject to certain limitations. First, the amount added to the reserve for losses on qualifying real property loans may not exceed the amount necessary to increase the balance of such reserve at the close of the taxable year to 6% of such loans outstanding at the end of the taxable year. Further, the addition to the reserve for losses on qualifying real property loans cannot exceed the amount which, when added to that year's addition to the bad debt reserve for losses on nonqualifying loans, equals the amount by which 12% of total deposits or withdrawable accounts of depositors at year-end exceeds the sum of surplus, undivided profits and reserves at the beginning of the year. Finally, the percentage bad debt deduction under the percentage of taxable income method is reduced by the deduction for losses on nonqualifying loans. To the extent (i) a savings bank's reserve for losses on qualifying real property loans under the percentage of income method exceeds the amount that would have been allowed under the experience method and (ii) a savings bank makes distributions to stockholders (including distributions in redemption, dissolution or liquidation) that are considered to result in withdrawals from that excess bad debt reserve, then the amounts considered withdrawn will be included in the savings bank's taxable income. The amount that would be deemed withdrawn from such reserves upon such distribution and which would be subject to taxation at the savings bank level at the normal corporate tax rate would be an amount that, when reduced by taxes on such amount, would equal the amount actually distributed. Dividends paid out of a savings bank's current or accumulated earnings and profits as calculated for federal income tax purposes, however, will not be considered to result in withdrawals from its bad debt reserves to the extent of such earnings and profits. Dividends in excess of a savings bank's current and accumulated earnings and profits, distributions in redemption of stock, and distributions in partial or complete liquidation of a savings bank will be considered to come from its loss reserve. The Bank qualifies under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code which permit it to deduct from income an allowance for bad debts based on approximately 8% of taxable income before such deduction, or actual chargeoffs. As of June 30, 1995, the Company has taken aggregate bad debt deductions of approximately $4,647,000 for income tax purposes under the percentage of taxable income method for which no provisions for federal income tax have been made in the financial statements. This amount may be used only for absorbing losses for tax purposes. It is not related to amounts of losses actually anticipated and the additions thereto have not been charged against income. Earnings appropriated to the Bank's bad debt reserve and claimed as a tax deduction are not available for the payment of cash dividends or for distribution to stockholders (including distributions made on dissolution or liquidation) unless the Bank includes the amount in taxable income, together with the amount deemed necessary to pay the resulting federal income tax. For taxable years beginning after December 31, 1986, the Code imposes an alternative minimum tax at a rate of 20%. The alternative minimum tax generally applies to a base of regular taxable income plus certain tax preferences ("alternative minimum taxable income" or "AMTI") and is payable to the extent such AMTI exceeds an exemption amount. The Code provides that an item of tax preference is the excess of the bad debt deduction allowable for a taxable year pursuant to the percentage of taxable income method over the amount allowable under the experience method. The other items of tax preference that constitute AMTI include (a) tax-exempt interest on newly-issued (generally, issued on or after August 8, 1986) private activity bonds other than certain qualified bonds and (b) for taxable years including 1987 through 1989, 50% of the excess of (i) the taxpayer's pre-tax adjusted net book income over (ii) AMTI (determined without regard to this latter preference and prior to reduction by net 38 39 operating losses). For taxable years beginning after 1989, this latter preference has been replaced by 75% of the excess (if any) of (i) adjusted current earnings as defined in the Code, over (ii) AMTI (determined without regard to this preference and prior to reduction by net operating losses). For any taxable year beginning after 1986, net operating losses can offset no more than 90% of AMTI. Certain payments of alternative minimum taxes may be used as credits against regular tax liabilities in future years. In addition to the Bank's federal income tax liability, the State of Tennessee imposes an excise tax on savings institutions at the rate of 6% of net taxable income, which is computed based on federal taxable income subject to certain adjustments. The State of Tennessee also imposes franchise and privilege taxes on savings institutions which, in the case of the Bank, have not constituted significant expense items. For additional information regarding taxation, see Note 11 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS Accounting for Income Taxes. Through June 30, 1993, the Company followed SFAS No. 96, "Accounting for Income Taxes." SFAS 96 requires the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of "temporary differences" by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to differences between the financial carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities. Under SFAS No. 96, the effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. In February 1992, the FASB issued SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." This statement supersedes both Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 11 and SFAS No. 96, the previous authoritative literature on income tax accounting. It also supersedes the guidance of APB No. 23 on the tax treatment of savings institution bad debt reserves. SFAS No. 109 calculates taxes on the asset and liability method; thus requiring recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the financial statements or tax return. This statement's emphasis on the balance sheet is consistent with SFAS No. 96, but is a change from APB Opinion No. 11's emphasis on the expense calculation. Under SFAS No. 109, the tax expense or benefit in the statement of income will be the current tax liability plus the change in the deferred tax liabilities and assets occurring during the year. SFAS No. 109 changes the treatment of loan loss provisions in the calculation of taxes. Tax bad debt reserves that arose prior to 1988 require recognition of deferred tax liabilities only if it becomes apparent that those temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future. Other differences between financial and tax reserves will create temporary differences for which deferred tax assets or liabilities will be computed. SFAS No. 109 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1992. The Company adopted SFAS No. 109 in the quarter ended September 30, 1993. The adoption resulted in the recognition of a deferred tax asset, recorded as a cumulative effect increase to net income of $764,000. See Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Accounting for Impaired Loans. The FASB issued SFAS No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," which amended SFAS No. 5, "Accounting for Contingencies," and SFAS No. 15, "Accounting by Debtors and Creditors for Troubled Debt Restructurings." SFAS No. 114, as amended by SFAS No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan - Income Recognition and Disclosure," requires the use of the discounted cash flow method for measuring impairment of loans when it is probable that a creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. If expedient, the creditor may use a loan's observable market price or the fair value of any collateral. The Bank adopted SFAS No.114 on a prospective basis as of July 1, 1993 for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1994. The adoption of SFAS No. 114 did not have a material effect on the Bank's financial position or results of operations. 39 40 Accounting for Investments. In June 1993, the FASB also issued SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." SFAS No. 115 requires debt and equity securities to be classified into one of three categories: (i) held to maturity, (ii) available for sale or (iii) trading. Securities held to maturity are limited to debt securities that the holder has the positive intent and the ability to hold to maturity; these securities are reported at amortized cost. Securities held for trading are limited to debt and equity securities that are held principally to be sold in the near term; these securities are reported at fair value, and unrealized gains and losses are reflected in earnings. Securities held as available for sale consist of all other securities; these securities are reported at fair value, and unrealized gains and losses are not reflected in earnings but are reflected as a separate component of stockholders' equity. Under SFAS No. 115, securities that could be sold in the future because of changes in interest rates or other factors may not be classified as held to maturity. SFAS No. 115 is effective for years beginning after December 15, 1993. At June 30, 1995 the carrying value of the Bank's held to maturity portfolio of investment and mortgage-backed securities exceeded the market value by approximately $1.35 million. Gross unrealized gains on securities available for sale were approximately $136,000. The Company adopted SFAS 115 during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1995. The Company designated its entire laddered maturity portfolio of U.S. Treasury Notes as available for sale. At June 30, 1995, these securities had a weighted average life of approximately 1.1 years with a face amount of $20 million. The Company maintains the available for sale portion of the investment portfolio as necessary in order to satisfy its liquidity needs. In the event funding is needed for loan originations, deposit account withdrawals, or other liquidity purposes, these securities could be liquidated. 40 41 ITEM 2. PROPERTIES The following table sets forth the location and certain additional information regarding the Bank's offices at June 30, 1995. The Bank owns all of its offices except as indicated.

(2) Owned by Citizens Financial, the Bank's wholly-owned subsidiary, and leased to the Bank. In January 1980, Heritage Federal leased a parcel of land from an unrelated third party on which the Bank constructed its Elizabethton branch office. The lease agreement requires payments of $1,100 per month beginning January, 1980 and ending on December 31, 1999. The original principal balance of this lease was approximately $129,000. The balance remaining on June 30, 1995 was $119,173. 42 43 The Elizabethton property noted above is accounted for as a capital lease. The lease on the Johnson City office through the Industrial Revenue Board of Johnson City expired in August 1993 and the Bank exercised the purchase option for the building. The lease on the Elizabethton office expires in December 1999, and also includes an option to purchase the leased property for $110,000 at maturity. The Bank also owns a mainframe computer system with an original cost of approximately $824,700 and a zero net book value at June 30, 1995. Additionally, the Bank owns an identical computer system which it was given by its supplier and which it uses as an emergency back-up system. The backup computer system was obtained by the Bank to comply with OTS regulatory requirements for disaster recovery plans. Other than for the preparation of its quarterly interest rate risk estimates, certain asset and liability valuations pursuant to SFAS No. 107, and monthly investment portfolio accounting, the Bank does not utilize the services of any outside data processing center. At June 30, 1995, the net book value of the Bank's premises, furniture, fixtures and equipment was approximately $6.8 million. See Note 8 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS From time to time, the Bank is a party to various legal proceedings incident to its business. Except as set forth below, there are no material legal proceedings to which the Company, the Bank or its subsidiary is a party or to which any of their property is subject. The Bank is a defendant in a lawsuit brought by an employee on June 29, 1994 in a Tennessee state court alleging unlawful discrimination in connection with a reduction in the employee's duties and change in title as part of the Bank's restructuring of senior management positions during 1991 and 1992. The lawsuit seeks total damages of $6 million plus attorney's fees and costs. The Bank is vigorously contesting this claim. Based on the advice of counsel, Heritage Federal believes that the possibility of the Bank's sustaining a material adverse judgment related to such claims is remote. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended June 30, 1995. 43 44 PART II ITEM 5. MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDERS' MATTERS The Common Stock trades on The Nasdaq Stock Market under the symbol "HFBS." As of August 11, 1995, there were 3,189,506 shares of the Common Stock outstanding, held by approximately 1,040 stockholders of record, excluding beneficial owners in nominee or street name. The table below sets forth the quarterly high and low stock prices as quoted on The Nasdaq Stock Market for fiscal years 1995 and 1994, adjusted for stock splits. Stock price data on The Nasdaq Stock Market reflect interdealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or commission, and may not necessarily represent actual transactions. 1995 1994 ----------------- --------------------- Quarter Ended: High Low High Low -------------- ---- --- ---- --- September 30 . . . . . . . . . . $23 $16 11/16 $15 1/2 $13 December 31 . . . . . . . . . . . $23 1/2 $16 1/2 $15 3/4 $14 1/4 March 31 . . . . . . . . . . . . $27 $17 $17 1/4 $14 5/8 June 30 . . . . . . . . . . . . . $27 $24 $18 1/4 $16 1/8 Under the Agreement with First American, the Company cannot pay a dividend on its Common Stock other than regular quarterly cash dividends not in excess of $0.095 per share, but dividends in the last quarter prior to closing must be coordinated with First American's dividend policy to avoid the receipt of either no dividends or two dividends during such quarter. The following table sets forth the cash dividends per share declared by the Company on the Common Stock during fiscal years 1995 and 1994, adjusted for stock splits.

The ability of the Bank to pay cash dividends to the Company on its capital stock is subject to, among other matters, the restrictions set forth in federal statutes and regulations. See "Item 1. Business -- Regulation of the Bank." In September 1993, the Company effected a three-for-two stock split. In October 1993, the Company's Board of Directors approved the payment of regular quarterly cash dividends on the Common Stock. The initial quarterly rate was set at $.0825 per share, adjusted for the Company's four-for-three stock split declared on July 20, 1994. Concurrent with the declaration of that stock split, the Board of Directors also increased the quarterly dividend rate to $.095 per share, payable on both old and new shares. 44 45 ITEM 6.

(7) During 1992, Heritage Federal entered into transactions involving its portfolio of FHLB stock. These resulted in the realization of capital gains for income tax purposes that were offset by capital loss carryforwards from prior years. As a result, in accordance with SFAS No. 96, deferred tax liabilities were reduced by $469,000 during the year ended June 30, 1992. The Bank's effective tax rates for fiscal years 1995, 1994, 1993, 1992 and 1991 were 36.5%, 36.1%, 41.8%, 37.8% and 66.9%, respectively. See Note 11 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. (8) During the first quarter of fiscal year 1994, Heritage adopted SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". The cumulative effect of this change in accounting principle on prior periods added $764,000 or $.22 per share to net income for that fiscal year.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS GENERAL. On March 30, 1992, Heritage Federal converted from mutual to stock form and became a wholly owned subsidiary of Heritage. The sole operations of Heritage consist of those of Heritage Federal and its subsidiary, Citizens Financial Corporation ("Citizens Financial"). The principal business of Heritage Federal consists of accepting deposits from the general public through its branches and investing these funds in loans secured by one- to four-family residential properties located in its market areas. Heritage Federal also maintains a substantial investment portfolio and originates consumer loans and limited amounts of commercial and commercial real estate loans secured by properties in its market areas. Additionally, Heritage Federal offers trust services and through Citizens Financial sells title insurance. In August 1993, Citizens Financial began to sell annuities and securities from Heritage Federal's locations via an arrangement with a third-party vendor, and this arrangement continued throughout most of fiscal year 1995. Heritage Federal's net income is dependent primarily on its net interest income, which is the difference between interest earned on its loans and investments and the interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities. The net income of Heritage Federal also is affected by the generation of noninterest income such as commissions, income from trust activities, service charges and other fees, rental income, and gains or losses on the sale of loans and investment securities. In addition, net income is affected by the level of operating expenses, the amount of loan loss reserves set aside each year, and the amount of income tax expense. 46 47 Heritage Federal's operations, as with those of the entire thrift industry, are significantly affected by prevailing economic conditions, competition, and the monetary and fiscal policies of governmental agencies. Lending activities are influenced by the demand for and supply of housing, competition among lenders, the level of interest rates, and the availability of funds. Deposit flows and costs of funds are influenced by prevailing market rates of interest, primarily on competing investments, account maturities, and the levels of personal income and savings in the market area. ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT. Net interest income, the primary component of Heritage Federal's net income, arises from both the difference between the yield on interest-earning assets and the cost of interest-bearing liabilities, and the relative amounts of such assets and liabilities. In the early 1980s, Heritage Federal's primary interest-earning assets, like those of most thrift institutions at the time, consisted of long-term, fixed-rate mortgages. Conversely, its liabilities were principally short-term deposits that were highly sensitive to interest rate changes. Consequently, during the early 1980s, as general interest rate levels rose, the interest rates on Heritage Federal's loans and securities did not reprice as quickly to higher levels as did the rates on its deposits. As a result, Heritage Federal's interest rate spread was adversely affected during that time. Heritage Federal has sought to reduce its exposure to changes in interest rates by matching more closely the effective maturities or repricings of its interest-sensitive assets and liabilities. In accordance with Heritage Federal's interest rate risk policy, management has emphasized the origination and/or purchase of adjustable-rate mortgages and mortgage-backed securities, intermediate-term fixed-rate mortgages, medium-term U.S. agency and government-sponsored enterprise ("GSE") notes, and short-term consumer loans. Because of generally moderate interest rate levels during the past three years, however, there has been increased consumer interest in fixed-rate loans. In order to maintain market share under these changing conditions, Heritage Federal began to originate fixed-rate loans for potential resale to secondary market investors and for its portfolio. In all cases, originations of long-term, fixed-rate mortgages are underwritten according to guidelines of the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("the FHLMC") and the Federal National Mortgage Association ("the FNMA"). Since February 1994, higher interest rates have slowed the trend toward fixed-rate lending and have created renewed interest in adjustable-rate loans, enabling Heritage Federal to again increase the mix of adjustable-rate loans in its overall loan balances as compared with the fiscal year ended June 30, 1992. However, because of the moderate rise in mortgage rates during most of Heritage Federal's fiscal year ended June 30, 1995, the adjustable-rate component of Heritage Federal's portfolio of mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities increased only marginally to 68%, with fixed-rate loans comprising 32% as compared to the portfolio mix at June 30, 1994, of 67% and 33%, respectively. The portfolio mix at June 30, 1992, was 53% and 47%, respectively. In addition, Heritage Federal manages its interest rate risk in part by maintaining a substantial portfolio of short-term investments. The weighted average life of its investment portfolio at June 30, 1995, was approximately 3.9 years. INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS. As a result of Heritage Federal's interest rate risk management policy and management's strategy emphasizing the origination of short-term and/or adjustable-rate mortgages, Heritage Federal's excess of interest-bearing liabilities over interest-earning assets maturing or repricing within one year (i.e., its "one-year gap") at June 30, 1995, was estimated to be $49,523,000 or a negative 9.38% of total assets versus $47,844,000 or a negative 9.27% at June 30, 1994. This marginal increase in negative gap position primarily reflected the moderate increase in market interest rates during most of fiscal year 1995 that resulted in the shifting behavioral pattern of deposit customers' preference for higher-yielding, longer-term certificate of deposit accounts, versus lower-yielding, transaction-type accounts such as demand and passbook savings accounts. The changing composition of liability accounts resulted in a lower amount of liability sensitivity to short-term interest rate fluctuations at June 30, 1995, compared with the previous fiscal year. This was functionally mirrored by a similar reduction of short-term loans receivable/mortgage-backed securities balances, thereby resulting in a minimal change in Heritage Federal's one-year gap position. The increase in market interest rates during fiscal year 1995 also continued the slowdown in the rate of loan prepayments, extending the duration of Heritage Federal's loans and mortgage-backed securities. Management considers its one-year gap to represent an acceptable balance between reducing Heritage Federal's interest rate risk and enhancing its interest rate spread. However, as a result of Heritage Federal's negative one-year gap, Heritage Federal's net interest income would be adversely affected by increases in prevailing interest rates. 47 48 The following table sets forth the interest sensitivity gap between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities at June 30, 1995, which are expected to mature or reprice in each of the time periods shown.

Certain shortcomings are inherent in the method of analysis presented in the table above. The data provided to Heritage Federal by its independent consultant are derived from information reported by savings institutions in urban areas in Tennessee. Use of other data derived from non-urban or non-Tennessee savings institutions could lead to materially different results. Although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods of repricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates. The interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while interest rates on other types of assets and liabilities may lag behind changes in market interest rates. Certain assets, such as adjustable-rate mortgages, have features which restrict changes in interest rates on a short-term basis and over the life of the asset. In the event of a change in interest rates, prepayment and early withdrawal levels would likely deviate significantly from those assumed in calculating the table. The ability of borrowers to service their debt may decrease in the event of an interest rate increase. 48 49 AVERAGE BALANCES, INTEREST AND AVERAGE YIELDS AND RATES. The following table sets forth information regarding average balances of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, as well as the weighted average yields earned on Heritage Federal's assets and the weighted average interest rates paid on Heritage Federal's liabilities, together with the net yield on interest-earning assets for the past three fiscal years. Non-accrual loans have been included in the average balances of loans receivable.

The table below sets forth certain information regarding changes in interest income and interest expense of Heritage Federal for the periods indicated. For each category of interest-earning asset and interest-bearing liability, information is provided on changes attributable to: (1) changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by old rate); and (2) changes in rate (change in rate multiplied by old volume). Changes in rate-volume (changes in rate multiplied by changes in volume) are allocated between changes in volume and changes in rate on a proportional basis.

Heritage Federal's total assets increased 2.4% to $528,169,000 at June 30, 1995, compared with $515,888,000 at June 30, 1994. This change primarily reflected an increase in investment securities and cash and cash equivalents from year to year, offset in part by a decline in loans receivable and mortgage-backed securities. Heritage Federal adopted on a prospective basis Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 115 at the beginning of fiscal year 1995, and in doing so, designated a portion of its investment portfolio as available for sale. Securities designated as available for sale consist of U. S. Treasury notes with laddered maturities, amounting to approximately $20,000,000 in principal face value at June 30, 1995. The fair value of these securities at June 30, 1995, with unrealized gains or losses, net of taxes, of approximately $84,000 reflected as a separate component of stockholders' equity, totaled $20,213,000. At that date, available for sale securities had a weighted average life of approximately 1.1 years. Heritage Federal anticipates the available for sale portion of its investment portfolio will be maintained as necessary in order to satisfy its liquidity needs. In the event funds are needed for deposit account withdrawals, loan demand or other liquidity purposes, these securities could be liquidated. Cash and cash equivalents increased 46.8% to $21,878,000 or 4.1% of total assets at June 30, 1995, from $14,906,000 or 2.9% of total assets at June 30, 1994. Net loans receivable declined 3.6% to $297,533,000 at June 30, 1995, compared with $308,700,000 at June 30, 1994. This change reflected the net repayment of loans, which slowed significantly during fiscal 1995 from the year-earlier period due to higher market rates and moderating refinancing activity, in excess of new loan originations, which declined to $51,536,000 in fiscal year 1995 compared with $81,902,000 in fiscal year 1994 due 50 51 to a declining consumer demand for adjustable-rate mortgage loans, which are Heritage Federal's principal source of loan originations; increased competition in the mortgage origination business; a general slowdown in new home construction; and a general decline in the volume of residential loan refinancings. The cash inflow from the net repayment of loans during fiscal year 1995 together with the proceeds of matured and called investment securities were invested primarily in GSE debt obligations issued by the FHLMC, the FNMA, and the FHLB System. Terms of these securities were more favorable than investments in mortgage-backed securities, because of shorter terms and competitive yields and had risk characteristics consistent with Heritage Federal's philosophy on interest rate risk. During fiscal year 1994, investable cash flows were deployed primarily toward purchases of adjustable-rate mortgage-backed securities as part of Heritage Federal's interest rate risk management in a lower rate environment. By investing in mortgage-backed securities, Heritage Federal was able to obtain higher yields than those available on other government and agency securities with similar repricing characteristics at the time. Because borrowers on the mortgages underlying such securities generally have the right to prepay their loans without penalty, however, mortgage-backed securities expose Heritage Federal to the risk that the security will prepay at a faster-than-anticipated rate in a declining rate environment. Conversely, in a rising rate environment, borrowers may prepay at a slower rate, effectively extending the maturity of these securities and also compressing Heritage Federal's net interest spread as its cost of funds rises. Heritage Federal seeks to avoid these risks by investing in adjustable-rate, mortgage-backed securities. Heritage Federal invests solely in mortgage-backed securities issued by the government-sponsored enterprises such as the FNMA and the FHLMC, or guaranteed by the Government National Mortgage Association ("GNMA"). These securities include fixed- and adjustable-rate collateralized mortgage obligations, sometimes included in the definition of mortgage derivatives, but which do not meet the regulatory definition of high risk derivatives. Investments and mortgage-backed securities increased 10.1% to $190,835,000 at June 30, 1995, from $173,354,000 as of June 30, 1994. Investments totaled $106,841,000 at the end of fiscal year 1995, or approximately 20.2% of Heritage Federal's total assets at June 30, 1995, compared with $80,796,000 or 15.7% of total assets at June 30, 1994. Heritage Federal's investment in mortgage-backed securities declined to $83,995,000 at June 30, 1995, from $92,558,000 as of June 30, 1994. Adjustable-rate products comprised 60.4% and 59.4% of total mortgage-backed securities as of the end of fiscal years 1995 and 1994, respectively. Collateralized mortgage obligations ("CMOs") at June 30, 1995, and 1994 totaled $14,942,000 and $5,615,000, respectively. The increase in CMO balances was funded primarily by the proceeds of an advance obtained from the FHLB of Cincinnati. These securities offered a favorable yield differential over the cost of the advance, thereby generating additional net interest income for Heritage Federal during the fiscal year. Heritage Federal's deposits declined 0.3% during fiscal year 1995 to $449,318,000 from $450,819,000 as of June 30, 1994. Heritage Federal relied both upon advances from the FHLB of Cincinnati and internally generated earnings during fiscal year 1995 to help fund its increase in interest-earning assets. Advances from the FHLB totaled $18,122,000 at June 30, 1995, compared with $9,587,000 at June 30, 1994. The increase in borrowings from the FHLB of Cincinnati during fiscal year 1995 was used toward the purchase of CMOs. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. Net income for fiscal year 1995 decreased 21.5% to $5,467,000 or $1.58 per share from $6,968,000 or $2.07 per share in fiscal year 1994. All per share amounts have been adjusted for a four-for-three stock split declared in July 1994 and a three-for-two stock split declared in August 1993. Heritage's earnings for fiscal year 1994 included $764,000 in non-recurring income attributable to the adoption of the new standard for accounting for income taxes. Net income before adoption of the new accounting standard declined $737,000, or 11.9%, from fiscal year 1994. Heritage's lower earnings for fiscal year 1995 reflected primarily a decline in net interest income before provision for loan losses and an increase in noninterest expense, which more than offset a lower provision for loan losses in fiscal year 1995 and slightly higher noninterest income. 51 52 Net income for fiscal year 1994, excluding the impact of the adoption of a new accounting standard for income taxes, increased 12.6% from the $5,512,000 or $1.67 per share reported in fiscal year 1993. In general, the increase in fiscal year 1994 compared with fiscal year 1993 reflected a reduction in the provision for loan losses and lower noninterest expense, which more than offset a decline in net interest income and total non-interest income. Net Interest Income. Net interest income declined 4.6% to $18,181,000 in fiscal year 1995 from $19,063,000 in fiscal year 1994. Net interest income for fiscal year 1994 declined 3.5% from $19,761,000 in fiscal year 1993. The three-year period ended June 30, 1995, reflected a generally favorable interest rate environment, although a number of rate increases implemented by the Federal Reserve beginning in February 1994 resulted in higher rate levels in the last half of fiscal year 1994 and much of fiscal year 1995. Reflecting this increase midway through fiscal year 1994, Heritage Federal's average interest rate spread in fiscal year 1995 declined to 3.32% from 3.54% in fiscal year 1994 and 3.79% in fiscal year 1993. Heritage Federal's net yield on average interest-earning assets declined to 3.67% in fiscal 1995 from 3.79% in fiscal year 1994, again reflecting increases in interest rates throughout most of fiscal year 1995. Heritage Federal's net yield declined in fiscal year 1994 from 4.03% in fiscal year 1993. Heritage Federal's average interest-earning assets decreased 1.7% to $494,841,000 in fiscal year 1995 from $503,175,000 in fiscal year 1994, reflecting primarily a decline in net loans receivable. Interest-earning assets in fiscal year 1994 increased 2.7% from $489,770,000 during fiscal year 1993, due in general to an increase during the year in investment and mortgage-backed securities. During the three-year period ended June 30, 1995, however, Heritage Federal steadily increased its ratio of interest-earning assets to interest-bearing liabilities to 109.8% during fiscal year 1995 from 107.8% in fiscal year 1994 and 106.1% in fiscal year 1993. Heritage Federal achieved this increase primarily by increasingly funding its activities with its net earnings rather than liabilities. Likewise, the average yields on interest-earning assets for fiscal years 1995, 1994 and 1993 were 7.27%, 7.07% and 7.97%, respectively. The increase in average yields during the most recent fiscal year reflects increases in yields on mortgage-backed securities and adjustable-rate mortgage loans. Because of the increase in Heritage Federal's average yield on its interest-earning assets from fiscal year 1994 to fiscal year 1995, and the increasing ratio of interest-earning assets to interest-bearing liabilities, interest income increased to $35,979,000 in fiscal year 1995 from $35,550,000 in fiscal year 1994. Interest income in fiscal year 1993 totaled $39,066,000. Reflecting the same interest rate trends, interest expense increased to $17,797,000 in fiscal year 1995 from $16,487,000 in fiscal year 1994. Interest expense in fiscal year 1993 totaled $19,305,000. The increase during fiscal year 1995 reflects the increase in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities as a result of the general rise in market rates as well as Heritage Federal's continued reliance on higher-costing FHLB advances and certificates of deposit as funding sources. As with the yields on interest-earning assets, costs on interest-bearing liabilities fell in fiscal year 1994 and increased in fiscal year 1995. The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities over the past three years was 3.95% in fiscal year 1995, 3.53% in fiscal year 1994 and 4.18% in fiscal year 1993. Average interest-bearing liabilities declined to $450,564,000 in fiscal year 1995 compared with $466,681,000 in fiscal year 1994, reflecting primarily a decrease in lower-costing demand and passbook savings accounts due to greater competition from other investment vehicles. Average interest-bearing liabilities for fiscal year 1994, however, increased from $461,597,000 during fiscal year 1993 as funds flowed into passbook accounts during a period of lower interest rates. 52 53 Provision for Loan Losses. For fiscal years 1995, 1994, and 1993, Heritage Federal provided $82,000, $487,000 and $595,000, respectively, for loan losses. The allowance for loan losses is increased by charges against income and decreased by charge-offs (net of recoveries). Management's periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is based on Heritage Federal's past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrowers' ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral, and current economic conditions. While management believes that it has established the allowance in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and has taken into account the views of its regulators and the current economic environment, there can be no assurance that in the future Heritage Federal's regulators or its economic environment will not require further increases in the allowance. The decline in the amount provided for loan losses in fiscal year 1995 reflected a significant improvement in Heritage Federal's non-performing assets. At June 30, 1995, the allowance for possible loan losses represented 1034.07% of total non-accrual loans and loans past due more than 90 days. This compared with 490.03% at June 30, 1994, and 186.86% as of June 30, 1993. At June 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993, Heritage Federal's ratio of allowance for loan losses to non-performing assets, including real estate owned, was 268.18%, 228.72% and 125.49%, respectively. Noninterest Income. Noninterest income totaled $2,755,000 in fiscal year 1995, $2,484,000 in fiscal year 1994, and $3,110,000 in fiscal 1993. The higher amount in fiscal year 1993 reflected a gain of $1,000,000 on the sale of five branches during the year. Noninterest income, other than gains or losses on the sale of the branches and interest-earning assets, increased moderately over the three-year period ended June 30, 1995, aggregating $2,755,000, $2,484,000 and $2,110,000 in fiscal years 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively, reflecting primarily an increase in other ancillary services such as checking fee income and fee income from the sale of securities and annuities. Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense totaled $12,242,000 in fiscal 1995, $11,354,000 in fiscal year 1994, $12,813,000 in fiscal year 1993. The increase in noninterest expense in fiscal year 1995 reflected higher compensation and benefits expense, due to normal salary increases for personnel and greater benefit costs, and because of the revision to certain compensation plans in fiscal year 1994 which became effective during fiscal year 1995. The decline in noninterest expense during fiscal year 1994 was due primarily to the decrease in amortization expense associated with the excess of cost over fair value of net assets acquired (i.e., goodwill) compared with fiscal year 1993, during which a portion of the goodwill was written off because of Heritage Federal's sale of the related assets. The decline also reflected lower compensation-related expenses, due to revisions in certain compensation plans during the year, along with lower communications and other office expense and real estate owned expense and provisions. Income Taxes. The effective income tax rates for fiscal years 1995, 1994 and 1993 were 36.5%, 36.1% and 41.8%, respectively, compared with the maximum statutory corporate income tax rate of 38.0% during those periods. The higher effective tax rate in fiscal year 1993 reflected tax on the gain on the sale of five branches during the first quarter; the write-off of goodwill associated with those branches was not tax deductible. Effective at the beginning of fiscal year 1994, Heritage adopted SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, on a prospective basis. The cumulative effect of this new accounting standard on prior periods added $764,000 or $.22 per share to net income for fiscal year 1994. IMPACT OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS. In December 1991, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("the FASB") issued SFAS No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments. SFAS No. 107 requires disclosures of information about the fair value of all financial instruments. Such disclosure is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 1992. Heritage adopted SFAS No. 107 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1993. Heritage adopted SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, on a prospective basis during the first quarter of fiscal year 1994. The cumulative effect of this new accounting standard on prior periods added $764,000 or $.22 per share to net income for fiscal year 1994. 53 54 The FASB issued SFAS No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, which amended SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies, and SFAS No. 15, Accounting by Debtors and Creditors for Troubled Debt Restructurings. SFAS No. 114, as amended by SFAS No. 118, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan - Income Recognition and Disclosure, requires the use of the discounted cash flow method for measuring impairment of loans when it is probable that a creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. If expedient, the creditor may use a loan's observable market price or the fair value of any collateral. Heritage adopted SFAS No. 114 on a prospective basis as of July 1, 1993 for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1994. The adoption of SFAS No. 114 did not have a material effect on Heritage's financial position or results of operations. The FASB issued SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, which supersedes SFAS No. 12, Accounting for Certain Marketable Securities and amends SFAS No. 65, Accounting for Certain Mortgage Banking Activities. SFAS No. 115 became effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1993. SFAS No. 115 requires investments in certain debt and equity securities to be classified into three categories -- held to maturity, available for sale, or trading. Securities classified into the held to maturity category will be accounted for at cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and discounts. Securities in the remaining two categories will be carried at market value, with changes in the market value of securities available for sale being accounted for as changes in stockholders' equity and changes in the market value of trading account securities being recognized in income. Heritage adopted SFAS No. 115 on a prospective basis in the first quarter of fiscal year 1995. The adoption of SFAS No. 115 did not have a material effect on Heritage's financial position. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES. Heritage Federal's principal sources of funds for operations are deposits from its primary market areas, principal and interest payments on loans and mortgage-backed securities, and proceeds from maturing investment securities. Additionally, Heritage Federal may borrow funds from the FHLB of Cincinnati or sell loans in order to increase liquidity. Heritage Federal's deposits declined 0.3% during fiscal year 1995 to $449,318,000 from $450,819,000 as of June 30, 1994. During fiscal year 1995, Heritage Federal increased its advances from the FHLB of Cincinnati for the purpose of increasing its net interest income through the purchase of additional CMOs. Advances from the FHLB of Cincinnati totaled $18,122,000 at June 30, 1995, compared with $9,587,000 at June 30, 1994. Heritage Federal must satisfy three capital standards, as set by the Office of Thrift Supervision (the "OTS"). These standards include a ratio of core capital to adjusted total assets of 3.0%, a tangible capital standard expressed as 1.5% of total adjusted assets, and a combination of core and "supplementary" capital equal to 8.0% of risk-weighted assets. The OTS recently finalized regulations that add an interest rate risk component to capital requirements under certain circumstances. Heritage Federal does not expect that this regulation will require it to reduce its capital materially for purposes of determining compliance with its risk-based capital requirement. In addition, the OTS has recently adopted regulations that impose certain restrictions on savings associations that have a total risk-based capital ratio that is less than 8.0%, a ratio of Tier 1 capital (or core capital) to risk-weighted assets of less than 4.0%, or a ratio of Tier 1 capital to adjusted total assets of less than 4.0% (or 3.0% if the institution receives the highest rating under the OTS examination rating system). Heritage Federal presently exceeds all capital requirements as currently promulgated. At June 30, 1995, Heritage Federal had tangible, core, Tier 1 to risk-weighted assets, and risk-based capital ratios of 9.77%, 9.85%, 23.97%, and 25.00%, respectively. 54 55 The following table reconciles Heritage Federal's net worth at June 30, 1995, under generally accepted accounting principles to regulatory capital requirements: REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS (UNAUDITED) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- GAAP TANGIBLE TIER 1/CORE RISK-BASED CAPITAL CAPITAL CAPITAL CAPITAL ----------- ----------- ----------- ---------- $52,378,000 $52,378,000 9.93% $52,378,000 9.92% $52,378,000 24.16% =========== Add: General valuation allowances -- -- -- -- 2,247,000 1.03% Deduct: Goodwill 780,000 -0.15% 333,000 -0.06% 333,000 -0.15% Unrealized gains on Available for sale securities 84,000 -0.01% 84,000 -0.01% 84,000 -0.04% ----------- ---- ----------- ---- ----------- ----- Regulatory capital--computed 51,514,000 9.77% 51,961,000 9.85% 54,208,000 25.00% Minimum capital requirement 7,909,000 1.50% 15,832,000 3.00% 17,345,000 8.00% ----------- ---- ----------- ---- ----------- ----- Regulatory capital--excess $43,605,000 8.27% $36,129,000 6.85% $36,863,000 17.00% =========== ==== =========== ==== =========== ===== Heritage Federal must maintain liquidity ratios at certain regulatory levels. Regulations specify the types of assets that qualify for liquidity, which generally include cash, federal funds sold, certificates of deposit and qualifying types of U.S. Treasury and agency securities, and other investments having maturities of five years or less. Such investments serve as a source of funds upon which Heritage Federal may rely to meet deposit withdrawals and for other short-term needs. The required levels of such liquidity are calculated on a "liquidity base" consisting of net withdrawable accounts plus borrowings due in one year or less. Presently, Heritage Federal is required to maintain total liquid assets as described above of at least 5% of its liquidity base. Short-term liquid assets (maturing in one year or less) may not be less than 1% of Heritage Federal's liquidity base. In recent years, Heritage Federal has maintained higher levels of liquid assets than required by regulation. Management believes that the liquidity levels maintained are adequate to meet potential deposit outflows, loan demand and normal operations. Its short-term ratios were 5.07%, 3.30% and 5.36% at June 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. Total liquidity ratios were 19.25%, 16.24% and 20.59%, respectively, for the same periods. At June 30, 1995, Heritage Federal had outstanding commitments to originate loans totaling $1,733,000, excluding $3,492,000 in approved but unused home equity lines of credit. Management believes that Heritage Federal's sources of funds are sufficient to fund all of its outstanding commitments. IMPACT OF INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES The consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, presented herein, have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without consideration of the changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. The impact of inflation is reflected in the increased cost of Heritage Federal's operations. Unlike most industrial companies, however, nearly all the assets and liabilities of Heritage Federal are monetary. As a result, interest rates have a greater impact on Heritage Federal's performance than do the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the price of goods and services. // 55 56 ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA 56 57 INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT The Board of Directors Heritage Federal Bancshares, Inc. We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition of Heritage Federal Bancshares, Inc. and Subsidiary as of June 30, 1995 and 1994, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 1995. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion of these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Heritage Federal Bancshares, Inc. and Subsidiary at June 30, 1995 and 1994, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed its methods of accounting for securities and income taxes in 1995 and 1994, respectively. COOPERS & LYBRAND L.L.P.

AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION - The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Heritage Federal Bancshares, Inc. (the Company) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Heritage Federal Bank for Savings (the Bank) and the Bank's wholly-owned subsidiary, Citizens Financial Corporation. All significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS - For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of federal funds sold, cash on hand, and due from banks. Cash and due from banks includes interest-bearing deposits of $5,592,680 and $2,295,206 at June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Federal funds sold included in cash equivalents have maturities ranging from one to 14 days. The Bank maintained cash reserves required by the Federal Reserve Bank amounting to $3,168,000 and $4,720,000 as of June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively. INVESTMENT SECURITIES - Effective July 1, 1994, the Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115 (SFAS 115), Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. Investments in certain debt and equity securities are classified as either Held-to-Maturity (reported at amortized cost), Trading (reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings), or Available-for-Sale (reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported as a separate component of shareholders' equity). Premiums and discounts on debt securities are recognized in interest income on the level interest yield method over the period to maturity. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 115, investment securities were those securities held for investment purposes which management determined they had the ability and intent to hold to maturity. Investment securities were stated at cost adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Mortgage-backed securities represent participating interests in pools of long-term first mortgage loans originated and serviced by the issuers of the securities. These securities, which have been classified as held-to-maturity in 1995, are carried at unpaid principal balances, adjusted for unamortized premiums and unearned discounts. Premiums and discounts are amortized using the interest method over the remaining period to contractual maturity, adjusted for anticipated prepayments. Gains and losses on the sale of securities are determined using the specific identification method. 67 68 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued LOANS RECEIVABLE - Loans receivable are stated at unpaid principal balances, net of discounts, deferred loan origination fees, and the allowance for loan losses. Unearned discounts on mortgage loans purchased are amortized to interest income using the interest method over the estimated average lives of the loans. The allowance for loan losses is increased by charges against income and decreased by chargeoffs (net of recoveries). Management's periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance is based on the Bank's past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrowers' ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral, and current economic conditions. While management believes that it has established the allowance in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and has taken into account the views of its regulators and the current economic environment, there can be no assurance that in the future the Bank's regulators or its economic environment will not require further increases in the allowance. Uncollectible interest on loans that are contractually 90 days or more past due or where management has determined that such amounts may be uncollectible is charged off or an allowance is established. The allowance is established by a charge against interest income equal to all interest previously accrued, and income is subsequently recognized only to the extent cash payments are received until, in management's judgment, the borrower's ability to make periodic interest and principal payments returns to normal, in which case the loan is returned to accrual status. The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 114 (Statement 114), Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, which amended Statement 5, Accounting for Contingencies, and Statement 15, Accounting by Debtors and Creditors for Troubled Debt Restructurings. Statement 114, as amended by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 118 (Statement 118), Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan - Income Recognition and Disclosure, requires the use of the discounted cash flow method for measuring impairment of loans when it is probable that a creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. If expedient, the creditor may use a loan's observable market price or the fair value of any collateral. The Company adopted Statement 114 on a prospective basis as of July 1, 1993 for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1994. The adoption of Statement 114 did not have a material affect on the Company's financial position or results of operations. DISCOUNTS ON LOANS ACQUIRED THROUGH MERGERS - Discounts on loans acquired through mergers are accreted into income principally on the interest method over the remaining contractual terms of the respective loans, adjusted for expected prepayments. 68 69 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued LOAN ORIGINATION AND COMMITMENT FEES AND RELATED COSTS - Loan fees are accounted for in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 91. Loan fees and certain direct loan origination costs are deferred, and the net fee or cost is recognized in the statement of income using the interest method over the contractual life of the loans, adjusted for estimated prepayments based on the Bank's historical prepayment experience. Commitment fees and costs relating to commitments whose likelihood of exercise is remote are recognized over the commitment period on a straight-line basis. If the commitment is subsequently exercised during the commitment period, the remaining unamortized commitment fee at the time of exercise is recognized over the life of the loan as an adjustment of yield. The Bank ceases amortization of net deferred fees on loans which are contractually 90 days or more past due or where management has determined that such amounts may be uncollectible. REAL ESTATE OWNED - Real estate properties acquired through loan foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure and properties classified as in substance foreclosures are initially recorded at the lower of the related loan balance, less any specific allowance for loss, or fair value at the date of foreclosure. Costs subsequently incurred relating to development and improvement of property are capitalized, whereas costs relating to holding property are expensed. In substance foreclosed properties are those properties where the borrower retains title but has little or no remaining equity in the property considering its fair value; where repayment can only be expected to come from the operation or sale of the property; and where the borrower has effectively abandoned control of the property or it is doubtful that the borrower will be able to rebuild equity in the property. Property acquired by deed in lieu of foreclosure results when a borrower voluntarily transfers title to the Bank in full settlement of the related debt in an attempt to avoid foreclosure. Valuations are periodically performed by management and an allowance for losses is established by a charge to operations if the carrying value of a property exceeds its estimated fair value. PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT - Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Amortization is computed on the straight-line method over the term of the lease or the life of the assets, whichever is shorter. EXCESS OF COST OVER FAIR VALUE OF NET ASSETS ACQUIRED AND OTHER INTANGIBLES - The Bank is amortizing the excess of cost over fair value of net assets acquired (goodwill) through business combinations at a constant rate when applied to the interest-earning assets, through June 1996, which is the estimated remaining life of the long-term interest-earning assets. During 1993, $637,000 of goodwill relating to the branches sold was written-off. Other intangibles amounting to $447,482 and $514,604 at June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively, consist of value related to a branch network acquired in 1981, which is being amortized straight line through 2001; value assigned to the management in place in the 1981 acquisition, which is being amortized straight line over the remaining service life of the managers through 2001; and value assigned to core deposits acquired in 1986, which is being amortized straight line through 1996. TRUST ASSETS - Assets held by the Bank in trust capacities are not included in the accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition, because such items are not assets of the Bank. 69 70 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued INCOME TAXES - Effective July 1, 1993, the Company adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 109 (Statement 109), Accounting for Income Taxes, on a prospective basis for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1994. The adoption of Statement 109 resulted in an increase of the Company's deferred income tax asset of $764,255. Prior to that date, the Company followed Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 96, Accounting for Income Taxes (Statement 96). Statements 109 and 96 require the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of "temporary differences" by applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to differences between the financial carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities. The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. 2. CONVERSION TO STOCK SAVINGS BANK, FORMATION OF HOLDING COMPANY, SALE OF COMMON STOCK AND MERGER On March 30, 1992, the Bank converted from a mutual savings bank to a capital stock savings bank. The Bank issued all of its outstanding capital stock to Heritage Federal Bancshares, Inc., a holding company for Heritage Federal Bank for Savings. Heritage Federal Bancshares, Inc. consummated a public offering of 2,990,000 shares of common stock (after giving effect to stock splits) which generated net proceeds of $16,048,290 after conversion costs totaling $1,144,210. The Bank received 99% of the net proceeds in exchange for the stock it issued to the holding company. At the time of conversion, the Bank established a liquidation account in an amount equal to the Bank's net worth for the benefit of eligible account holders at the time of conversion. The liquidation account will be reduced annually to the extent that eligible account holders have reduced their eligible deposits, and shall cease upon the closing of the accounts, and shall never be increased. In the event of liquidation of the Bank, such person shall be entitled, after all payments to creditors, to a distribution from the liquidation account before any distribution to stockholders. Federal regulations adopted by the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) impose certain limitations on the payment of dividends and other capital distributions, including stock repurchases, by the Bank. Based upon current OTS regulations and its capital structure at June 30, 1995, the Bank may make capital distributions during a year up to the greater of (i) 100% of its net earnings to date during the calendar year plus an amount equal to one-half of the amount by which its total capital-to-assets ratio exceeded its fully phased-in capital-to-assets ratio at the beginning of the calendar year or (ii) 75% of its net income during the most recent four-quarter period. At June 30, 1995, approximately $19,850,000 was available for payment of dividends from the Bank to the Company under the above mentioned OTS restrictions. Capital distributions by the Bank are further subject to 30-day advance written notice to the OTS. The Company's charter authorizes 2,000,000 shares of preferred stock of the Company, of $1.00 par value. The Company's charter expressly vests in the Board of Directors of the Company the authority to issue the preferred stock in one or more series and to determine, to the extent permitted by law prior to the issuance of the preferred stock (or any series of the preferred stock), the relative rights, limitations, and preferences of the preferred stock or any such series. 70 71 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued 2. CONVERSION TO STOCK SAVINGS BANK, FORMATION OF HOLDING COMPANY, SALE OF COMMON STOCK AND MERGER, continued In February 1995, the Company entered into a merger agreement with First American Corporation (FAC). All of the outstanding shares of the Company stock will be exchanged for common shares of FAC in a transaction that will be accounted for as a pooling of interest. The transaction is expected to be consummated during the Company's second fiscal quarter. 3.

THRIFT AND PROFIT SHARING PLAN The Bank has a thrift and profit sharing plan for substantially all employees who have completed at least one year of service. The plan has been amended to comply with the regulations of the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act, Code Section 401(k), the Retirement Equity Act of 1984, the Deficit Reduction Act of 1984, the Tax Reform Act of 1986, and the Revenue Reconciliation Act of 1993. Under these regulations, the Bank agrees to match an employee's contribution equal to 5% of the employee's salary, although the employee may contribute up to 10%. The expense for this plan for the years ended June 30, 1995, 1994, and 1993 was approximately $154,000, $128,000 and $116,000, respectively. 81 82 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued 13.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK AND SIGNIFICANT GROUP CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers and to reduce its own exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the statements of financial condition. The contract or notional amounts of these instruments reflect the extent of involvement the Bank has in particular classes of financial instruments. The Bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual notional amount of those instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making these commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments. 84 85 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued 15. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE-SHEET RISK AND SIGNIFICANT GROUP CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK, continued Outstanding lines of credit balances were $1,682,944 and $1,685,212 at June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Commitments to originate or purchase loans were approximately $1,733,000 and $5,195,000 at June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The commitments exclude approved, but unused, home equity lines of credit of $3,492,558 and $3,523,810 in 1995 and 1994, respectively. The commitments to originate or purchase loans at June 30, 1995, were composed of variable rate loans of $1,204,000 and fixed rate loans of $529,000. The fixed rate loans had interest rates ranging from 6.5% to 9.25%. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Bank evaluates each customer's credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained if deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit is based on management's credit evaluation of the borrower. Collateral held varies but may include trade accounts receivable; property, plant, and equipment; and income-producing commercial properties. Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. At June 30, 1995, the unused amount of letters of credit issued totaled $212,602. Most of the Bank's business activity is with customers located within the state of Tennessee. A majority of the loans are collateralized by residential or commercial real estate or other personal property. The loans are expected to be repaid from cash flow or proceeds from the sale of selected assets of the borrowers. The Bank grants residential, consumer, and commercial loans to customers throughout the eastern portion of the state of Tennessee. 85 86 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued 16. EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN OBLIGATION In conjunction with converting to a stock ownership form, the Company and the Bank established an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), under which the Bank makes annual contributions to a trust for the benefit of eligible employees. To be eligible, an employee must be 21 years of age and have completed at least one year of service. The contributions may be in the form of cash, other property, or common shares of the Company. The amount of the annual contribution is at the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Bank. Initially, the ESOP acquired 209,300 shares of the Company's common stock financed by $1,203,475 in borrowings by the ESOP. The Board of Directors intends to contribute to the Plan an amount equal to the required principal and interest payments related to the ESOP loan. During 1995, the ESOP refinanced its notes payable with borrowings from the Company. The new loan, which has essentially the same terms as the prior borrowing, is payable in quarterly principal payments of $30,087 plus interest at the lender's base rate through March 30, 2002. At June 30, 1995, the loan bore interest at 9.00%. The plan is noncontributory and there is no past service liability. The principal balance of the ESOP loan was $720,765 at June 30, 1995 and $880,885 at June 30, 1994. The Company is using the dividends paid on unallocated shares held by the ESOP to reduce the outstanding debt. The financial statements for the years ended June 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993 include compensation expense of $91,241, $120,348 and $120,348 and interest expense of $37,592, $63,613 and $74,407, respectively, related to the ESOP. The ESOP debt agreement contains certain affirmative financial covenants related to the Bank's operations and financial position. The Bank is in compliance with all such covenants. In prior years, the Company had guaranteed the repayment of the ESOP debt to the outside lender and, accordingly, recorded the debt on its balance sheet with a corresponding contra-equity account. Future minimum principal payments due to the Company related to the Employee Stock Ownership Plan obligation are as follows: Year ended June 30, ------------------- 1996 $120,348 1997 120,348 1998 120,348 1999 120,348 2000 120,348 Thereafter 119,025 -------- $720,765 ======== 86 87 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued 17.

STOCK OPTION AND AWARD PLANS 1992 STOCK OPTION PLAN The Company has adopted a stock option plan for the benefit of employees of the Bank and nonemployee directors of the Company. The number of shares of common stock authorized and awarded under the 1992 stock option plan was 299,000, equal to 10% of the total number of shares issued in the Company's public offering. The option exercise price of $5.75 per share is equal to 100% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. The option term is ten years. Options issued to employees of the Bank in connection with the conversion became exercisable over a three year period ending in March 1995. Options issued to nonemployee directors of the Company are immediately exercisable. During 1993, a former director exercised options for 14,950 shares at an exercise price of $5.75 per share. During 1994, 2,728 options were exercised at an exercise price of $5.75 per share. During 1995, 8,377 options were exercised at an exercise price of $5.75 per share. MANAGEMENT RECOGNITION PLAN (MRP) The Bank issued 89,700 shares of common stock to a MRP Trust created during 1993. All of these shares, with a market value of $1,065,187 on the date of award, have been awarded to certain executive officers as restricted stock which will vest over the three year period ending March 1996. Compensation expense in the amount of $355,057, $201,060 and $154,009 was recognized during 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively, related to these awards. The plan contains provisions providing for forfeiture of unvested shares in the event of termination, and vesting in the event of death, disability, retirement or a change in control. The shares issued to the MRP Trust have been recorded as outstanding shares, and the unvested portion has been recorded as unearned compensation through a contra-equity account. INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLANS The Company has established an incentive compensation plan for certain officers. The plan provides for annual cash bonuses, restricted stock awards and stock options based upon base annual compensation and certain operating results. For the year ended June 30, 1995, compensation in the aggregate amount of $510,228 was recorded, including awards of 3,348 shares of common stock which will vest over three years and options on 14,350 shares of common stock exercisable at $13.00 related to discounted option plans. In 1994, the compensation recorded under these plans aggregated $442,464, including awards of 5,073 shares of common stock which will vest over three years and 30,735 options on shares of common stock exercisable at $8.72 related to discounted option plans. In 1993, the compensation recorded under these plans aggregated $404,463 including awards of 5,672 shares of common stock. In addition, in 1995, 1994 and 1993 participants were granted stock options for 6,696 shares exercisable at $26.00 per share, 10,149 shares exercisable at $17.44 per share, and 11,352 shares exercisable at $14.25 per share, respectively. 88 89 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued 18. STOCK OPTION AND AWARD PLANS, continued The Company has established an incentive compensation plan for nonemployee directors. This unfunded plan provides benefits in the form of performance stock options for shares of common stock. The number of shares received, exercisable at 50% of the fair market value on the date of the grant, is determined based on the amount of director fees deferred during the year by each director. Director compensation recorded for 1995 related to this plan amounted to $177,250, representing 13,635 shares at an exercise price of $13.00 per share. Director compensation recorded for 1994 related to this plan amounted to $134,650, representing 15,446 shares at an exercise price of $8.72 per share. In 1994, the Company adopted a new Director Option Plan that was approved by the shareholders at the Annual Meeting in October. The plan provides for automatic grants to each director of options to purchase 4,000 shares of common stock annually at the fair market value on the date of the grant. At June 30, 1995, no options had been exercised and 28,000 options are exercisable at $20.25 per share and 28,000 options are exercisable at $15.19 per share. 19. EARNINGS PER SHARE On July 20, 1994, Heritage Federal Bancshares, Inc. declared a four for three stock split for all shares outstanding as of August 5, 1994, to be paid on August 26, 1994, to be effected as a stock dividend. On August 18, 1993, Heritage Federal Bancshares, Inc. declared a three for two stock split for all shares outstanding as of September 8, 1993 to be effected as a stock dividend. This stock split was paid September 30, 1993. All references to the outstanding number of shares and earnings per share amounts have been restated to reflect the splits. Stock options are regarded as common stock equivalents. Common stock equivalents are computed using the treasury stock method. Following are weighted average shares outstanding for computation of earnings per share for 1995, 1994, and 1993 after adjusting for stock splits: 1995 1994 1993 ---- ---- ---- Shares issued and outstanding 3,179,737 3,171,216 3,099,422 Common stock equivalents computed by the treasury stock method-options 284,079 200,856 209,633 --------- --------- --------- 3,463,816 3,372,072 3,309,055 ========= ========= ========= 89 90 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued 20. FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 107 (Statement 107) requires disclosures of the estimated fair value of an entity's financial instrument assets and liabilities. For the Company, as for most financial institutions, the great bulk of its assets and liabilities are considered financial instruments as defined in Statement 107. However, many of such instruments lack an available trading market, as characterized by a willing buyer and seller engaging in an exchange transaction. Also, it is the Company's general practice and intent to hold its financial instruments to maturity and not to engage in trading or sales activities. Therefore, the Company used estimations and present value calculations to prepare this disclosure. Changes in the assumptions or methodologies used to estimate fair values may materially affect the estimated amounts. Also, management is concerned that there may not be reasonable comparability between institutions due to the wide range of permitted assumptions and methodologies in the absence of active markets. This lack of uniformity gives rise to a high degree of subjectivity in estimating financial instrument fair values. Fair values have been estimated using data which management considered the best available, and estimation methodologies deemed suitable for the pertinent category of financial instrument. The estimation methodologies and resulting fair values, and recorded carrying amounts at June 30, 1995 and 1994, were as follows: Cash and cash equivalents are by definition short-term and do not present any unanticipated credit issues. Therefore, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value. The estimated fair values of securities are provided in Note 3 to the financial statements. These are based on quoted market prices, when available. If a quoted market price is not available, fair value is estimated using quoted market prices for similar securities. The fair value of the net loan portfolio has been estimated using present value cash flow discounted at an interest rate adjusted for servicing costs and giving consideration to estimated prepayment risk and credit loss factors. 1995 1994 ------------------------------- ------------------------------ Estimated Fair Carrying Estimated Fair Carrying Value Amount Value Amount ----- ------ ----- ------ 1 - 4 family mortgages $247,984,000 $247,238,858 $259,692,000 $261,813,285 Consumer 23,226,000 23,482,167 20,214,000 20,459,516 Non-Residential 33,969,000 34,215,208 33,906,000 35,474,045 ------------ ------------ ------------ ------------ $305,179,000 $304,936,233 $313,812,000 $317,746,846 ============ ============ ============ ============ 90 91 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued 20. FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS, continued Fair value of deposit liabilities with no stated maturities has been estimated to equal the carrying amount (the amount payable on demand), totaling $160,775,378 and $199,559,758 in 1995 and 1994, respectively. Under Statement 107, the fair value of deposits with no stated maturity is equal to the amount payable on demand. Therefore, the fair value estimates for these products do not reflect the benefits that the Bank receives from the low-cost, long-term funding they provide. These benefits are significant. There is no material difference between the carrying amount of deposit liabilities with stated maturities and their estimated fair value since the majority of the liabilities mature within one year. The fair value of certificates of deposits and advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates offered for similar deposits and advances with the same remaining maturities. The carrying value and estimated fair values of certificates of deposit and Federal Home Loan Bank advances at June 30, 1995 and 1994 are as follows: 1995 1994 ---- ---- Certificates of deposits: Carrying amount $288,542,599 $251,258,850 Estimated fair value $290,144,000 $252,205,000 Advances from Federal Home Loan Bank: Carrying amount $18,121,921 $9,587,083 Estimated fair value $17,852,000 $8,992,000 In 1994, there was no material difference between the carrying amount and estimated fair value of the obligation to the Employee Stock Ownership Plan because it bore interest at a variable rate equivalent to a current market rate. There is no material difference between the carrying amount and estimated fair value of off-balance sheet items totaling $3,415,944 in 1995 and $6,880,212 in 1994, which are primarily comprised of unfunded loan commitments which are generally priced at market at the time of funding. The Company's remaining assets and liabilities are not considered financial instruments. 21. FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS REFORM, RECOVERY, AND ENFORCEMENT ACT The Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act (FIRREA), which was signed into law in 1989, imposed stringent capital requirements upon savings institutions. In addition, FIRREA included provisions for changes in the federal regulatory structure for savings institutions including a new deposit insurance system, increased deposit premiums and restricted investment activities with respect to noninvestment grade corporate debt and certain other investments. FIRREA also increased the required ratio of housing-related assets in order to qualify as a qualified thrift lender under federal regulations. 91 92 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued 21. FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS REFORM, RECOVERY, AND ENFORCEMENT ACT, continued The Bank must satisfy three capital standards, as set by the Office of Thrift Supervision ("the OTS"). These standards include a ratio of core capital to adjusted total assets of 3.0%, a tangible capital standard expressed as 1.5% of total adjusted assets, and a combination of core and "supplementary" capital equal to 8.0% of risk-weighted assets. The OTS recently finalized regulations that add an interest rate risk component to capital requirements under certain circumstances. The Bank does not expect that this regulation will require it to reduce its capital materially for purposes of determining compliance with its risk-based capital requirement. In addition, the OTS has recently adopted regulations that impose certain restrictions on savings associations that have a total risk-based capital ratio that is less than 8.0%, a ratio of Tier 1 capital (or core capital) to risk-weighted assets of less than 4.0%, or a ratio of Tier 1 capital to adjusted total assets of less than 4.0% (or 3.0% if the institution receives the highest rating under the OTS examination rating system). 92 93 ITEM 9.

To the extent not already exercisable, the options generally will become immediately exercisable in the event of a change in control of the Company, generally defined as the acquisition of beneficial ownership of 25% or more of the Company's voting securities by any person or group of persons. (2) Represents the present value of the option at the date of grant, as determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. In calculating the present value of the option grant, the following assumptions were utilized: (i) the current market price of the underlying Common Stock at the date of grant was $26.00; (ii) the continuously compounded risk-free rate of return expressed on an annual basis was 6.25%; (iii) the risk of the underlying Common Stock, measured by the standard deviation of the continuously compounded annual rate of return of the Common Stock, was 30%; and (iv) dividends on the underlying Common Stock increase at an annual rate of 5%. The foregoing assumptions are used for illustrative purposes only. No assurance can be given that actual experience will correspond to the assumptions utilized. AGGREGATED OPTION EXERCISES IN LAST FISCAL YEAR AND FISCAL YEAR-END OPTION VALUES The following table sets forth each exercise of stock options during fiscal year 1995 by each of the named executive officers and the fiscal year-end value of unexercised in-the-money options. The table does not reflect options earned during fiscal year 1995 pursuant to the Officer Incentive Plan but granted after the fiscal year end.

(2) Based on the aggregate fair market value of the shares of Common Stock underlying the options at June 30, 1995 less the aggregate exercise price. For purposes of this calculation, the fair market value per share of the Common Stock at fiscal year end is assumed to be equal to the average of the high and low price on June 30, 1995 as reported on The Nasdaq Stock Market ($26.50 per share). Unexercised options are considered "in-the-money" if the exercise price is less than fair market value of the underlying Common Stock. All options granted to the named executive officers are currently in the money. 98 99 PENSION PLAN The following table illustrates the maximum estimated annual benefits payable upon retirement pursuant to the Bank's defined benefit pension plan (the "Pension Plan") based upon the pension plan formula for specified average final compensation and specified years of service. YEARS OF SERVICE AVERAGE FINAL ------------------------------------------------------------------------ COMPENSATION 15 20 25 30 35 $100,000 . . . . . . . $20,290 $27,053 $33,816 $40,579 $47,342 $125,000 . . . . . . . 25,465 33,953 42,441 50,929 59,417 $150,000 . . . . . . . 30,640 40,853 51,066 61,279 71,492 $175,000 . . . . . . . 30,640 40,853 51,066 61,279 71,492 $200,000 . . . . . . . 30,640 40,853 51,066 61,279 71,492 $225,000 . . . . . . . 30,640 40,853 51,066 61,279 71,492 $250,000 . . . . . . . 30,640 40,853 51,066 61,279 71,492 $275,000 . . . . . . . 30,640 40,853 51,066 61,279 71,492 Benefits are hypothetical amounts only. Currently, the maximum annual benefit payable under the Pension Plan is $118,800. Also, average final compensation in excess of $150,000 is not covered under the Pension Plan. "Average final compensation," which is based upon the average annual salary (as defined) for the five consecutive years of highest salary during the final ten years of employment, is based upon compensation that would appear under the "Salary" and "Bonus" columns of the Summary Compensation Table. As of June 30, 1995, Messrs. Kreis, Brumfield, Osborne and Richmond had 23, 25, 13 and 11 years of credited service, respectively, under the Pension Plan. Benefits set forth in the preceding table are computed as a ten-year-certain life annuity and are not subject to any deduction for Social Security or other offset amounts. EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS The Bank entered into employment agreements on August 26, 1992, with Messrs. Kreis, Brumfield, Osborne and Richmond, which replaced their severance agreements earlier commenced on March 31, 1992. The employment agreements have a term of thirty-six months. On each anniversary date from the date of commencement of the agreements, the terms of employment may be extended for an additional one-year period beyond the then effective expiration date upon a determination by the Board of Directors that performance of the employee has met the required standards and that such agreements should be extended. Each agreement will be terminated upon death. The agreements provide that the Bank's obligations under such agreements shall terminate if the employee is removed from his position or permanently prohibited from participating in the Bank's affairs by regulatory order; if the Bank is placed in conservatorship, receivership or other custodianship by regulatory authorities; if the Bank enters into an agreement to receive federal financial assistance; or if the Bank is the subject of an approved supervisory merger. Termination of such obligations shall not, however, affect any vested rights of the Bank or the employees. No payments shall be made under the agreements, in any case, if the employee's employment terminates for "just cause" as defined in the agreements, or if the Bank is not in compliance with its fully phased-in capital requirements at the time of the employee's termination or would not be in compliance after making such payments. The employment agreements also provide that the Bank's obligations thereunder will be suspended if the employee is suspended and/or temporarily prohibited by federal regulatory authorities from participating in the Bank's affairs. Further, if the charges against such employee giving rise to such suspension or prohibition are subsequently dismissed, the Bank's Board of Directors may, in its discretion, pay the employee all or part of the compensation otherwise payable while the employment agreement was suspended and reinstate any or all of its obligations under the employment agreement. The employment agreements contain provisions stating that in the event of the involuntary termination of employment not for cause, as defined, in connection with, or within 12 months after, any change in control of the Bank or the Company, the employee will be paid an amount equal to the sum of the employee's base salary in effect on the date of the change in control and the base salary the employee would have received over the remainder of the term of the agreement. In no event will such payments exceed the difference between (i) 2.99 times the average 99 100 annual compensation he received during the five-year period immediately prior to the date of change in control and (ii) the sum of all other severance payments received by the employee on account of the change in control. An employee's severance benefits will be paid, at the employee's option, either within 30 days of termination or over the lesser of 36 months or the remaining term of the agreement. "Control" generally refers to the acquisition by any person or entity of the ownership or power to vote more than 25% of the Bank's or Company's voting stock, or the control of the election of a majority of the Bank's or Company's Directors, or the exercise of a controlling influence over the management or policies of the Bank or Company. The employment agreements also provide for a similar lump sum payment to be made to the employees in the event of voluntary termination of employment upon the occurrence, or within 90 days thereafter, of certain specified events following any change in control, unless consented to in advance by the employee in writing, including (i) requiring the employee to perform his principal executive functions more than 35 miles from the Bank's current primary office, (ii) the failure of the Bank or the Company to maintain existing employee benefit plans, including material fringe benefits, stock option and retirement plans, (iii) assigning duties and responsibilities to the employee which are other than those normally associated with his position with the Bank; or (iv) a material diminution of the employee's authority and responsibility with the Bank. In addition to such events, Mr. Kreis' agreement provides for lump sum payments upon the occurrence of the following events (or within 90 days thereafter) after a change in control: (i) requiring that he report to a person or persons other than the Bank's Board of Directors; or (ii) a failure to elect or re-elect him to the Board of Directors of the Bank or the Company. If the employee is terminated at any time with or without cause, except for the reasons set forth above, the employee shall not be entitled to any severance benefits under the employment agreement. The aggregate payments that would be made to Messrs. Kreis, Brumfield, Osborne and Richmond, assuming the termination of employment under the foregoing circumstances at June 30, 1995 and without regard to other severance payments would have been approximately $523,600, $369,300, $340,600 and $280,900, respectively. DIRECTORS' COMPENSATION Each non-employee member of the Board of Directors of the Company receives a $6,000 annual retainer. Each non-employee member of the Board of Directors of the Bank receives a fee of $1,000 for each Board meeting, provided that a member will not be paid for more than two meetings not attended. The Chairman of the Board receives a fee of $1,350 for each Board meeting attended. Non-employee directors also receive a fee of $350 for each committee meeting attended. INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN FOR NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS. Non-employee directors of the Company also participate in the Incentive Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors (the "Director Incentive Plan"), the purposes of which are to attract and retain the best available non-employee directors for the Company, to compensate non-employee directors for the increased responsibility associated with the Bank's conversion to stock form, and to provide additional equity incentives. Executive officers and other employees of the Company may not participate in the Director Incentive Plan. The Director Incentive Plan is administered by a committee (the "Director Incentive Plan Committee") consisting of all the members of the Bank's Compensation Committee. The Director Incentive Plan is unfunded and benefits are payable only in the form of discounted non-incentive options to acquire the Common Stock. Under the Director Incentive Plan, non-employee directors may elect to forego all or a portion of their director fees for the coming fiscal year and instead receive options having an exercise price equal to 50% of the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant. The number of options granted to a director is determined such that the aggregate discount on options granted is equal to the amount of director fees foregone. For fiscal year 1995, Directors Anderson, Bracy, Craven, Fox, LaGuardia, Manahan and Patton received discounted options to acquire 2,069, 1,758, 1,958, 1,781, 2,042, 1,881 and 2,146 shares of the Common Stock, respectively, in lieu of director fees under the Director Incentive Plan. For fiscal year 1996, each non-employee director will receive cash instead of discounted options and thus will not defer their director fees beginning in July 1995. 100 101 DIRECTOR OPTION PLAN. The Board of Directors has reserved 160,000 authorized but unissued shares of the Common Stock for issuance pursuant to options issued under Heritage Federal Bancshares, Inc. 1994 Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors (the "Director Option Plan"). Under the Director Option Plan, non-employee directors of the Company and its affiliates will receive automatic annual grants of options to purchase 4,000 shares of the Common Stock each. On February 16, 1994, each non-employee director was granted options for 4,000 shares of the Common Stock at an exercise price of $15.19 per share with respect to fiscal year 1994 and on August 17, 1994, each nonemployee director was granted options to acquire 4,000 shares of the Common Stock at an exercise price of $20.25 per share with respect to fiscal year 1995 and received a grant of options for 4,000 shares of the Common Stock at an exercise price of $27.50 on July 1, 1995 with respect to fiscal year 1996.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS Under the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989, the Bank's loans to directors and executive officers must be made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates, as those prevailing for comparable transactions and must not involve more than the normal risk of repayment or present other unfavorable features. Furthermore, loans above the greater of $25,000 or 5% of the Bank's capital and surplus (i.e., up to $2,618,910 at June 30, 1995) to such persons must be approved in advance by a disinterested majority of the Board of Directors. The Bank has a policy of offering loans to officers and directors and employees in the ordinary course of business, on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with other persons. These loans do not involve more than the normal risk of collectibility or present other unfavorable features. In addition, it has been the practice to approve a $100,000 personal line of credit for each director. Beyond that, officers and directors may only borrow for housing, personal consumer loans, education or loans secured by savings accounts. Directors, from the time of their election, and officers have not been permitted to borrow from the institution for outside business purposes. Loans outstanding to directors and executive officers during fiscal year 1995 were made at the prevailing interest rates and on terms available to other customers of the Bank. PART IV ITEM 14.

W I T N E S S E T H : WHEREAS, the parties hereto have heretofore entered into the Agreement which contemplated that the Merger of HFB with and into FAC would be accounted for as a purchase; and WHEREAS, FAC now desires to account for the Merger as a pooling and the parties hereto desire to amend the Agreement as hereinafter set forth in order to facilitate such accounting treatment. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth herein, the parties hereto agree as follows: 1. Section 4.2(i) is hereby amended to delete the following: "except with respect to the 1992 Plan and the 1994 Plan and the Director Incentive Plan (A) to permit transfer of non-qualified options to family members or non-profit charitable organizations or (B) to permit exercise of such non-qualified options at any time during the term thereof irrespective of service with HFB (or any Subsidiary thereof) or any successor thereto" so that Section 4.2(i) shall read in its entirety as follows: (i) adopt any new employee benefit plan or program or make any material change in or to any existing employee benefit plans or programs of any HFB or any Subsidiary except as contemplated by Section 5.9 herein or except as required by law; or make any discretionary matching contributions or discretionary contributions to any employee benefit plan of HFB or any Subsidiary thereof; or 2. Section 3.2(j) is hereby amended to delete the following: 108 "however, it is FAC's current intention to repurchase up to 80% of such number of shares prior to or substantially concurrent with the consummation of the Merger pursuant to Rule 10b-18 of the SEC and in a manner which does not prohibit FAC from entering into pooling transactions within two years from such repurchases" so that Section 3.2(j) shall read in its entirety as follows: (j) Consideration. FAC has reserved or will reserve for issuance sufficient shares of FAC Common Stock for issuance in the Merger. 3. Section 5.9(a) is hereby amended by deleting its contents in its entirety and adding the following: FAC and HFB acknowledge that the Heritage Federal Bank for Savings Employee Stock Ownership Plan and Trust (the "ESOP") has unallocated assets with a fair market value exceeding the outstanding balance of the loan secured by those assets. Without changing the existing vesting and allocation provisions in the ESOP (or in any of FAC's qualified plans), the parties intend that current employees of HFB will benefit from this investment. Therefore, after the Effective Time and until all unallocated shares now held by the ESOP are released from collateral pledge and allocated to current HFB employees (the "100% Allocation Date"), the ESOP will be continued as a separate plan for the benefit of current employees of HFB eligible to participate therein in accordance with ESOP's terms for so long as a separate plan is legally permissible under the Internal Revenue Code and the rules promulgated thereunder without causing disqualification of the ESOP. If before the 100% Allocation Date, it becomes legally impermissible under the Internal Revenue Code and the rules promulgated thereunder to maintain the ESOP as a separate plan, to the extent legally permissible under Internal Revenue Code qualification requirements, the assets now held by the ESOP shall continue to be allocated only to current employees of HFB, until the 100% Allocation Date. 4. HFB agrees that no holder of any options to purchase HFB Common Stock shall be entitled to receive cash in lieu thereof. 5. Capitalized terms, not specifically defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement. 6. This Amendment shall become effective retroactively to the execution of the Agreement. Except as expressly provided above, all of the terms and conditions of the Agreement shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, FAC and HFB have caused this Amendment to be 109 signed by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized, all as of May 17, 1995.

WHEREAS, the Employee is a valuable employee of the Employer; and WHEREAS, the Employee wishes to provide life insurance protection for his/her family in the event of his/her death, under a life insurance policy insuring his/her life (hereinafter referred to as the "Policy"); and WHEREAS, the Employer is willing to assist in the payment of the Policy premiums; and WHEREAS, the Employer will retain the ownership of the Policy in order to secure the payment of the cash value of the Policy to it as reimbursement for premiums advanced by it; NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto mutually agree: PURCHASE OF POLICY The Employer has purchased or will purchase the Policy from the Canada Life Assurance Company or Canada Life Insurance Company of New York (the applicable company to be hereinafter called "Insurer") in the total face amount of $____________, ________________, such Policy being more fully described in Exhibit "A" attached hereto and made a part hereof. The parties agree that, as between them, the policy shall be subject to the terms of this agreement and to the terms of the endorsement to such Policy filed or to be filed with the Insurer (hereinafter referred to as the "Endorsement").

The term "person" means an individual other than the Employee or a corporation, partnership, trust, association, joint venture, pool, syndicate, sole proprietorship, unincorporated organization or any other form of entity not specifically listed herein. No termination of this agreement shall affect or impair any party's right to Policy proceeds as such rights exist immediately prior to such termination.

The Employee shall timely take all necessary measures to enable the Employer to enforce any such right. LIMITATION OF INSURER LIABILITY In the event of the death of the insured under the Policy, the Insurer shall be fully discharged from its obligations under the Policy by payment of the Policy death proceeds to the Employer, to the beneficiary or beneficiaries named in the Endorsement, or to any or all such persons or parties by joint check.
