("Citizens" or the "Bank"), a wholly-owned federal savings bank subsidiary of First Citizens Financial. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of First Citizens Financial, Citizens and wholly-owned subsidiaries of Citizens (collectively, the "Company"). The financial statements as of March 31, 1996 and for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 are unaudited but, in the opinion of management of the Company, contain all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring entries, necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial condition as of March 31, 1996 and the results of consolidated operations for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 and consolidated cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995. The consolidated statement of financial condition as of December 31, 1995 is derived from audited financial statements. These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in First Citizens Financial's latest report to stockholders' on Form 10-K. The results of consolidated operations for the three months ended March 31, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year ending December 31, 1996. 2) Earnings Per Share On April 19, 1996, the Board of Directors declared a 10% stock dividend which will be distributed on June 3, 1996 to stockholders of record on May 3, 1996. Average shares outstanding and all per share amounts are based on the increased number of shares giving retroactive effect to the stock dividend. Earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 were determined by dividing net income by 3,178,512 and 3,103,833, the weighted average number of shares outstanding during these periods, respectively (as adjusted for the 10% stock dividend). Outstanding shares also include common stock equivalents which consist of outstanding stock options, if such options are dilutive. The Company has not separately reported fully diluted earnings per share as it is not materially different from earnings per share. 6 FIRST CITIZENS FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Dollars in the tables in thousands) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This discussion and analysis includes a description of material changes which have affected the Company's consolidated financial condition and consolidated results of operations during the periods included in the Company's financial statements. FINANCIAL CONDITION (March 31, 1996 compared to December 31, 1995) Total assets increased by $16.7 million, or 2.7%, at March 31, 1996 compared to December 31, 1995. Such increase was primarily due to increases of $26.5 million in investment securities and $1.6 million in prepaid expenses and other assets. Loans decreased by $13.9 million, net, which reflects the sale of 30-year fixed rate loans amounting to $26.3 million, net. Such loans were sold to improve the Bank's interest rate sensitivity. The following table sets forth the amounts of the Bank's nonperforming assets by category at the dates indicated: Nonperforming Assets March 31, 1996 December 31, 1995 -------------- ----------------- No. of loans No. of loans Amount or projects Amount or projects ------ ------------ ------ ------------ Nonaccrual loans: Commercial real estate ................... $ 2,265 3 $ 2,266 3 Other nonconstruction loans .............. 649 10 501 10 -------- -------- -------- -------- 2,914 13 2,767 13 -------- -------- -------- -------- Real estate owned: Residential land ......................... 5,482 2 5,326 2 Residential construction ................. 422 1 728 1 Residential properties ................... 243 1 243 1 Commercial land .......................... 7,954 4 7,947 4 -------- -------- -------- -------- 14,101 8 14,244 8 -------- -------- -------- -------- Total nonperforming assets, gross .......... 17,015 21 17,011 21 ======== ======== Specific loss allowances .................... (2,029) (1,915) -------- -------- Total nonperforming assets, net .......... $ 14,986 $ 15,096 ======== ======== Total nonperforming assets, net, as a percentage of total assets ............. 2.4% 2.5% ======== ======== Total loss reserves as a percentage of total nonperforming assets, gross ............... 49.8% 50.5% ======== ======== 7 During the quarter ended March 31, 1996, Bank's nonperforming assets, net decreased by $110,000, net. The primary cause of the decrease was additional loss reserves on real estate owned. Troubled debt restructurings, net, amounted to $5.5 million, at both March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995. Performing loans greater than 90 days past maturity, net, amounted to $1.5 million and $2.0 million at March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, respectively. At March 31, 1996, there were two loans amounting to $156,000 with respect to which known information about the possible credit problems of the borrowers or the cash flows of the security properties caused management to have serious doubts about the ability of the borrowers to comply with the present loan repayment terms and which may result in the future inclusion of such loans in nonperforming assets. The Bank regularly reviews assets in its portfolio to determine whether any require classification. On the basis of such review, the following assets, which include all of the nonperforming assets in the previous table, were classified at the dates indicated: Classified Assets March 31, December 31, 1996 1995 ---------- ------------ Classified: Substandard................................ $ 19,965 $ 20,446 Doubtful................................... 197 186 Loss....................................... 2,532 2,387 ------- ------- 22,694 23,019 Specific loss reserves..................... (2,532) (2,387) ------ ------ Classified assets, net..................... $ 20,162 $ 20,632 ====== ====== The Bank also identified assets which possess credit deficiencies or potential weaknesses deserving management's close attention as "special mention". These assets totaled $26.3 million at March 31, 1996 compared to $25.3 million at December 31, 1995. The allowance for losses on loans is established through a provision for loan losses based upon management's evaluation of the risk inherent in the loan portfolio and changes in the nature and volume of loan activity. Such evaluation considers, among other factors, the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral, current economic conditions and historical loan loss experience. While management uses available information in establishing the allowance for possible loan losses, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if economic conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the evaluations. Additions to the allowance are charged to operations; realized losses, net of recoveries, are charged to the allowance. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as part of their examination process, periodically review the Company's allowance for possible loan losses. Such agencies may require the Company to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examinations. The Bank provided an additional $148,000 for potential loan losses during the first quarter of 1996 and incurred $415,000 of net charge-offs during the period. 8 The Bank also establishes allowances for losses on real estate owned based upon their fair values. The Bank provided $115,000 for additional losses on real estate owned during the first quarter of 1996. The valuations of real estate owned properties are reviewed periodically (at least quarterly) and updated as necessary based on the Bank's expectations of holding periods, leasing or sales activity, and other changes in market conditions. Based on available information, management believes that current loss reserves are adequate at this time to cover potential losses in the portfolio. There can be no assurance, however, that additional loss provisions will not be necessary in the future if market conditions deteriorate. The Bank had unrealized gains of $.6 million and unrealized losses of $1.0 million on its investment securities available-for-sale portfolio at March 31, 1996. The amortized cost of this portfolio was $100.8 million at that date. There were unrealized losses amounting to $84,000 and $210,000 in unrealized gains on the investment securities held-to-maturity portfolio at that date. The Bank's investment securities portfolio includes both agency obligations and mortgage-backed securities. Deposits, before interest credited, increased by $7.8 million, or 1.6%, during the three months ended March 31, 1996. Deposits, including interest credited, increased by $13.1 million, a 2.7% increase. Also during the three months ended March 31, 1996, advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank increased $2.6 million or 3.4%. Federal Home Loan Bank advances had an average interest rate of 5.8% at March 31, 1996. At March 31, 1996, stockholders' equity totaled $39.2 million, or 6.3% of total assets, and reflected $291,000 of net unrealized holding losses, net of applicable taxes, on investment securities available-for-sale. At March 31, 1996, the Bank was considered "well capitalized" under regulatory definitions. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources". RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 AND MARCH 31, 1995 General. The Company recorded net income of $1.1 million, or $.34 per share, for the three months ended March 31, 1996 as compared to net income of $947,000, or $.31 per share, for the three months ended March 31, 1995. Net interest income, after provision for loan losses, decreased $169,000 when compared to 1995. There was a $1.0 million, or 9.7%, increase in interest income which was offset by a $1.2 million, or 20.3%, increase in interest expense. Provision for loan losses decreased $2,000. Other income increased by $.8 million, or 151.1%, and operating expenses increased by $390,000, or 10.9%, during the three months ended March 31, 1996 compared to the same period in the prior year. 9 Net Interest Income. The Company's net interest income, before provision for loan losses, decreased $171,000, or 3.7%, during the three months ended March 31, 1996 as compared to the same period of 1995. Interest income on loans increased by $.4 million, or 4.0%, due to increases in average yields from 8.1% to 8.2% during the three months ended March 31, 1996 compared to the same period in the prior year and increases in average outstanding balances of $8.4 million. Interest income on investment securities increased by $.6 million which was primarily due to a $37.8 million increase in average outstanding balances during the three months ended March 31, 1996 compared to the same period in the prior year. Interest paid on deposits increased $1.0 million, or 19.4%, due to an increase in average rates paid on deposits from 4.4% to 4.8% and a $38.8 million increase in average outstanding balances. Interest on borrowed funds increased $179,000 due to an increase in average rates paid from 5.7% to 5.8% and a $10.9 million increase in average outstanding balances. Provision for Loan Losses. During the first quarters of 1996 and 1995, the Company provided $148,000 and $150,000, respectively, for loan losses. Management of the Bank believes that the current loss reserves appear adequate at this time to cover potential losses in the loan portfolio. There can be no assurance, however, that additional reserves will not be necessary if market conditions change. Other Income. Total other income increased $.8 million, or 151.1%, during the three months ended March 31, 1996 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 1995. The Company realized gains of $574,000 on the sale of 30-year fixed-rate loans amounting to $26.3 million, net. The Company also realized gains amounting to $202,000, an increase of $157,000 from 1995, on the sale of mortgage loans originated for sale by First Citizens Mortgage Corporation ("FCMC"), the Bank's mortgage banking subsidiary. FCMC experienced increased gains on sales of loans originated for sale due to increased originations of such loans caused by decreased interest rates. Operating Expense. Operating expense increased by $390,000, or 10.9%, during the three months ended March 31, 1996 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 1995. Compensation and employee benefits increased by $167,000 due to increased accruals for bonuses and adjustments to various benefit plans. Loss from real estate increased by $33,000 primarily due to a $42,000 increase in provisions for losses on real estate owned. Provisions for losses during the three months ended March 31, 1996 amounted to $115,000 compared to provisions during the three months ended March 31, 1995 of $73,000. Income Taxes. For the quarter ended March 31, 1996, the Company's effective tax rate was less than the statutory tax rate primarily due to the effects of exercises of non-incentive stock options granted to directors and employees. For the quarter ended March 31, 1995, the Company's effective tax rate was less than the statutory tax rate primarily due to recovery of the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. When Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 Accounting for Income Taxes was adopted during the first quarter of 1993, the Company established a valuation allowance for the excess of deferred tax assets over taxable income available in carryback years and future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences. The Company was able to recover $60,000 of the valuation allowance during the quarter ended March 31, 1995. Amounts recovered reduced income tax expense for financial statement purposes and the valuation allowance was correspondingly reduced. 10 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Under current regulations, a savings association, such as the Bank, generally is required to maintain liquid assets at 5.0% or more of its net withdrawable deposits plus short-term borrowings. The Bank is in compliance with this requirement. At March 31, 1996, the Bank had outstanding loan commitments totaling $17.5 million. SAIF-insured institutions, such as the Bank, are required to maintain minimum levels of capital. At March 31, 1996, the Bank continued to exceed all currently applicable core, tangible and risk-based capital requirements. At March 31, 1996, the Bank had the following amounts of capital: Actual % of Required % of Excess % of Amount Assets* Amount Assets* Amount Assets* ------- ------- -------- ------- ------- ------- Core ** $38,472 6.2% $24,981 4.0% $13,491 2.2% Tangible 38,472 6.2 9,368 1.5 29,104 4.7 Risk-weighted** 43,362 11.1 31,250 8.0 12,112 3.1 - -------- <FN> * Based upon adjusted total assets for the core and tangible capital requirements, and risk-weighted assets for the risk-based capital requirement. ** 5.0% core and 10.0% risk-based capital required to be considered "well capitalized" and 4.0% core and 8.0% risk-based capital required to be considered "adequately capitalized" under the OTS "Prompt Corrective Action" regulations. Under current OTS capital regulations, the minimum core capital requirement is 3% and the minimum risk-based capital requirement is 8%. </FN> In August 1993, the OTS issued a final rule which adds an interest-rate-risk ("IRR") component to its risk-based capital rule. Savings institutions will be required to incorporate IRR into their risk- based capital calculation when OTS concludes testing of its appeal process. Savings institutions with greater than normal interest rate exposure will be required to deduct from risk-based capital one-half of the difference between the institution's actual measured exposure and the normal level of exposure. The amount to be deducted will be provided by OTS. Based on financial data as of March 31, 1996, management believes that compliance with the new IRR would not have had a material impact on the Bank's risk-based capital position at that date. The United States Congress is considering legislation regarding Federally insured banks and thrifts which would, among other things, (i) abolish the OTS and transfer its functions to other agencies of the United States government, (ii) require Federally chartered thrifts, including the Bank, to convert to national or state bank charters or state thrift charters, (iii) require savings and loan holding companies to be regulated as bank holding companies, and (iv) impose a one-time assessment in order to recapitalize the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF"). The amount of the assessment will be determined by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and may be up to 90 basis points on the deposits of certain thrifts, including the Bank. This legislation is in a preliminary stage, and it cannot be determined whether, or in what form, any such legislation will eventually be enacted. If a 90 basis 11 point special assessment were required, it would result in a charge to the Bank of up to $2.8 million after taxes, which would have the effect of reducing the Bank's tangible and core capital to $35.7 million, or 5.7% of adjusted total assets, and total risk-based capital to $40.6 million, or 10.4% of risk-weighted assets, on a pro forma basis as of March 31, 1996. Assuming such special assessment were made and, as a result, the SAIF was fully recapitalized, it would have the effect of reducing the Bank's deposit insurance premiums to the SAIF in future periods. In addition, if the Bank were required to convert its Federal savings bank charter, the Bank could be required to recapture its bad debt reserve for Federal income tax purposes. Such recaptured amount would be $1.6 million, after taxes, and, if recaptured, would further reduce the Bank's income and capital ratios. Pending legislation, if enacted, would provide relief from such recapture for certain prior periods, if the Bank meets a proposed residential loan origination requirement. At March 31, 1996, First Citizens Financial Corporation, on an unconsolidated basis, had $1.2 million of cash. First Citizens Financial Corporation's expenses primarily consist of certain shareholder- related activities. First Citizens Financial Corporation believes it can fund its working capital needs from its own cash account, through the next several years, without payment of dividends from the Bank. 12 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 4.
