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 nine months ended June 30, 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 JUNE 30, 1997 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 1996. The Bank's total assets increased by $3.4 million or 3.8% to $93.9 million for the nine months ended June 30, 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 $50.6 million or 72.1 % of total deposits at June 30, 1997, representing an increase of $10.3 million. Investment securities held by the Bank decreased by $10.6 million from $45.6 million at September 30, 1996 to $34.9 million at June 30, 1997. The proceeds from maturing securities were allocated to fund the increased volume of loan production, with the balance redeployed into short-term securities investments. Total deposits at June 30, 1997 were $70.1 million and $66.4 million at September 30, 1996, an increase of $3.7 million. The deposit increase was primarily the result of the Bank's branch opening on February 12, 1997. Net worth was $21.9 million at September 30, 1996 as compared to stockholders' equity of $22.4 million at June 30, 1997, an increase of $496,000 which was the result of earnings from normal operations for the nine month period less $206,000 in cash dividends paid stockholders during the last three quarters. Additionally, the net unrealized gain on available-for-sale securities decreased $27,000, from $143,000 at September 31, 1996 to $116,000 at June 30, 1997. There was an increase of $50,000 from March 31, 1997. 1 COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 AND 1996. Net Income. The Bank's net income for the three months ended June 30, 1997 was $172,000 as compared to $175,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1996. The $3,000 decrease in net income was primarily the result of an increase in net interest and dividend income of $35,000, a decrease in the provision for possible loan losses of $9,000, an increase of $14,000 in other income which was off set by a combination of an increase in other expenses of $101,000 and a decrease in taxes of $42,000. Interest Income. Total interest and dividend income for the three months ended June 30, 1997 was $1.5 million, an increase of $34,000 as compared the three months ended June 30, 1996. The increase in interest and dividend income was due primarily to a $216,000 increase in interest income on loans and a $183,000 decrease in dividends on investment securities. Interest Expense. Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 1997 was $682,000, a decrease of $1,000 as compared to $683,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1996. The decrease in interest expense was due to lower interest rates on deposits. Net Interest Income. Net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 1997 was $840,000 as compared to $805,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1996. The $35,000 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 $1,000 as compared to the same period of the previous year. The net interest margin for the three months ended June 30, 1997 was 3.67 %, a decrease of 12 basis points as compared to the three months ended June 30, 1996. The annual return on average assets for the three months ended June 30, 1997 was 75 basis points, an decrease of 4 basis points as compared to the same period of the prior year. The primary reason for the decrease in the return on average assets was due to the increase in assets of $3.4 million, most of which came in the least quarter as a result of the growth contributed by the new branch. Provisions for Possible Loan Losses. The provision for possible loan losses for the three months ended June 30 , 1997 was none as compared to $9,000 for the three months ended June 30 , 1996. With one problem loan, 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 three months ended June 30, 1997 was $43,000 as compared to $29,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1996. This increase was primarily due to $14,000 taken in gains on the sale of securities. Operating Expenses. Operating expenses increased from $518,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1996 to $619,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1997, The increase of $101,000 was primarily due to a $12,000 decrease in salaries and employee benefits, an $8,000 2 increase in data processing fees, a $6,000 decrease in directors fees, a $22,000 increase in legal and professional fees, and an increase of $86,000 in other operating expenses, primarily due to the opening of the new branch office February 12, 1997. COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 AND 1996. Net Income. The Bank's net income for the nine months ended June 30, 1997 was $540,000 as compared to $360,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 1996. The $180,000 increase in net income was primarily the result of a $512,000 increase in net interest and dividend income, a $63,000 increase in other income that was partially offset by a $456,000 increase in other operating expenses and an increase in the income tax provision of $33,000. Interest Income. Total interest and dividend income for the nine months ended June 30, 1997 was $4.6 million, an increase of $511,000 as compared to $4.1 million for the nine months ended June 30, 1996. The increase in interest and dividend income was due in part to a greater volume of higher yielding loans coupled with the decrease in the interest received oil investment securities. Interest Expense. Interest expense for the nine months ended June 30, 1997 was $2.0 million, as compared to $2.1 million for the nine months ended June 30, 1996. Total deposits were $3.7 million higher for the period ended June 30, 1997 with interest rates slightly lower resulting in an interest expense that decreased $68,000 from the same period in the previous year. Net Interest Income. Net interest income for the nine months ended June 30, 1997 was $2.5 million as compared to $2.0 million for the nine months ended June 30 1996. The net interest margin for the nine months ended June 30, 1997 was 3.81%, a increase of 57 basis points as compared to the nine months ended June 30, 1996. The annual return on average assets for the nine months ended June 30, 1997 was 80 basis points, an increase of 21 basis points 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 and dividend income. Provisions for Possible Loan Losses. The provision for possible loan losses for the nine months ended June 30, 1997 was zero as compared to $27,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 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 nine months ended June 30, 1997 was $163,000 as compared to $100,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 1996. The increase of $63,000 was primarily the result of the gain on the sale of investment securities of $47,000 taken during the period. 3 Operating Expenses. Operating expense increased from $1.4 million for the nine months ended June 30, 1996 to $1.8 million for the nine months ended June 30, 1997. The increase of $456,000 was primarily due to an increase in salaries and employee benefits of $92,000, an increase in data processing fees of $16,000, an increase in legal and professional fees of $136,000. and an increase in other operating expenses of $223,000. 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.
