FINANCIAL STATEMENT NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 1997 AND 1996 BASIS OF PRESENTATION The financial statements of the Falmouth Co-operative Bank (the "Bank") presented herein should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Bank as of and for the year ended September 30, 1996. In the opinion of management, the interim financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the three months and six months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire year. Management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. FALMOUTH CO-OPERATIVE BANK ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AT MARCH 31, 1997 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 1996. The Bank's total assets decreased by $249,000 or .3% to $90.3 million for the six months ended March 31, 1997 from $90.5 million at September 30, 1996. Total net loans were $40.2 million or 60.6% of total deposits at September 30, 1996 as compared to $46.5 million or 69.22% of total deposits at March 31, 1997, representing an increase of $6.3 million. Investment securities held by the Bank decreased by $9.4 million from $45.6 million at September 30, 1996 to $36.1 million at March 31, 1997. The proceeds from maturing securities were in part allocated to fund an increased volume of loan production, with the balance redeployed into short-term securities investments. Total deposits at March 31, 1997 were $67.2 million and $66.4 million at September 30, 1996, an increase of $761,000. The deposit increase was primarily the result of the Bank's new branch opening on February 12, 1997 which had deposits of $671,000 at March 31, 1997. Net worth was $21.9 million at September 30, 1996 as compared to stockholders' equity of $22.1 million at March 31, 1997, an increase of $157,000 which was the result of earnings from normal operations for the six month period less $145,476 in cash dividends paid stockholders during the last two quarters. Additionally, the net unrealized gain on available-for-sale securities decreased $77,742, from $143,685 at September 31, 1997 to $65,943 at March 31, 1997. 1 COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997 AND 1996. Net Income. The Bank's net income for the three months ended March 31, 1997 was $178,000 as compared to $88,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996. The $90,000 increase in net income was primarily the result of the mutual to stock conversion by the Bank on March 28, 1996. The $90,000 increase in net income included a $283,000 increase in net interest income, a $38,000 increase in other income, a $194,000 increase in operating expenses and an increase in the provision for income taxes of $37,000. Interest Income. Total interest and dividend income for the three months ended March 31, 1997 was $1.5 million, an increase of $220,000 as compared to $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 1996. The increase in interest and dividend income was due primarily to a $189,000 increase in interest income on loans. Interest Expense. Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 1997 was $669,000, a decrease of $53,000 as compared to $722,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996. The decrease in interest expense was due in part to lower interest rates on deposits. Net Interest Income. Net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 1997 was $853,000 as compared to $579,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996. The $274,000 increase in net interest income was the result of increased interest income on loans due to increased loan activity. Additionally, interest paid on deposits decreased $53,000 as compared to the same period of the previous year. The net interest margin for the three months ended March 31, 1997 was 3.86%, an increase of 1.14% as compared to the three months ended March 31, 1996. The annual return on average assets for the three months ended March 31, 1997 was .80%, an increase of .35% as compared to the same period of the prior year. The primary reason for the increase in the return on average assets was due to the increase in net interest income which was the result of the management of capital received from the March 28, 1996 stock conversion. Provisions for Possible Loan Losses. The provision for possible loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 1997 was none as compared to $9,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996. With no problem loans, it was determined that there was an adequate balance in the general reserve of the allowance for possible loan losses and that the capital could be better utilized at this time. Other Income. Non-interest income or other income for the three months ended March 31, 1997 was $66,000 as compared to $28,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996. This increase was primarily due to $34,000 taken in gains on the sale of securities. Operating Expenses. Operating expenses increased from $441,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 to $635,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997. The increase of $194,000 was primarily due to a $41,000 increase in salaries and employee benefits, a 2 $55,000 increase in legal and professional fees, and an increase of $90,000 in other operating expenses, primarily due to the opening of a new branch office February 12, 1997. COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997 AND 1996. Net Income. The Bank's net income for the six months ended March 31, 1997 was $368,000 as compared to $185,000 for the six months ended March 31, 1996. The $183,000 increase in net income was primarily the result of a $544,000 increase in net interest income, a $46,000 increase in other income that was partially offset by a $352,000 increase in other operating expenses and an increase in the income tax provision of $73,000. Interest Income. Total interest and dividend income for the six months ended March 31, 1997 was $3.1 million, an increase of $477,000 as compared to $2.6 million for the six months ended March 31, 1996. The increase in interest and dividend income was due in part to a greater volume of higher yielding loans coupled with a increase in the interest on investment securities. Interest Expense. Interest expense for the six months ended March 31, 1997 was $1.4 million, as compared to $1.4 million for the six months ended March 31, 1996. Total deposits were slightly higher for the period ended March 31, 1997 with interest rates slightly lower resulting in an interest expense that remained relatively unchanged. Net Interest Income. Net interest income for the six months ended March 31, 1997 was $1.7 million as compared to $1.1 million for the six months ended March 31, 1996. The net interest margin for the six months ended March 31, 1997 was 3.88%, a increase of .91% as compared to the six months ended March 31, 1996. The annual return on average assets for the six months ended March 31, 1997 was .83%, an increase of .49% as compared to the same period of the prior year. The primary reason for the increase in the return on average assets was due to the increase in net interest income which was the result of the management of capital received as of the March 28, 1996 stock conversion. Provisions for Possible Loan Losses, The provision for possible loan losses for the six months ended March 31, 1997 was zero as compared to $18,000 for the six months ended March 31, 1996. It was determined that there was an adequate balance in the general reserve of the allowance for possible loan losses. Other Income. Non-interest income or other income for the six months ended March 31, 1997 was $120,000 as compared to $74,000 for the six months ended March 31, 1996. The increase of $46,000 was primarily the result of the gain on the sale of investment securities of $34,000 taken during the period, Operating Expenses. Operating expense increased from $877,000 for the six months 3 ended March 31, 1996 to $1.2 million for the six months ended March 31, 1997, The increase of $352,000 was primarily due to an increase in salaries and employee benefits of $103.000, an increase in legal and professional fees of $115,000. and an increase in other operating expenses of $134,000. 4 SIGNATURES Under the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Bank has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
