AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SIX MONTH PERIODS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001 AND 2000 (UNAUDITED) Note 1 - Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation United Tennessee Bankshares, Inc. ("Company") was incorporated under the laws of the State of Tennessee for the purpose of becoming the holding company of Newport Federal Savings and Loan Association ("Association"), in connection with the Association's conversion from a federally chartered mutual savings and loan association to a federally chartered capital stock savings bank. The Company had no assets or operations prior to the conversion. On January 1, 1998, the Association converted from a mutual savings association to a capital stock savings bank, changed its name to Newport Federal Bank ("Bank"), and was simultaneously acquired by its holding company, United Tennessee Bankshares, Inc. See Note 3 for additional information concerning the Association's stock conversion. The Bank provides a variety of financial services to individuals and corporate customers through its three offices in Newport, Tennessee. The Bank's primary deposit products are interest-bearing savings accounts and certificates of deposit. The Bank's primary lending products are one-to-four family first mortgage loans. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-QSB and on the same basis as the Company's audited consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods presented have been included. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the Bank. All intercompany accounts have been eliminated. Note 2 - Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share represents income available to shareholders divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects additional shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential shares had been issued, as well as any adjustment to income that would result from the assumed issuance. Potential shares that may be issued by the Company relate solely to outstanding stock options, and are determined using the treasury stock method. Earning per share have been computed based on the following: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended ------------------------------- ---------------------------- June 30, June 30, ------------------------------- ---------------------------- 2001 2000 2001 2000 -------------- ---------------- ------------- -------------- Average number of shares outstanding 1,345,713 1,382,013 1,372,888 1,382,013 Effect of dilutive options 0 4,763 0 4,763 -------------- ---------------- ------------- -------------- Average number of shares outstanding used to calculate earnings per share 1,345,713 1,386,776 1,372,888 1,386,776 ============== ================ ============= ============== 9 Note 3 - Comprehensive Income The FASB has issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income." This statement establishes standards for reporting comprehensive income and its components in the financial statements. The object of the statement is to report a measure of all changes in equity of an enterprise that results from transactions and other economic events of the period other than transactions with owners. Items included in comprehensive income include revenues, gains, and losses that under generally accepted accounting principles are directly charged to equity. Examples include foreign currency translations, pension liability adjustments and unrealized gains and losses on investment securities available for sale. The Company has included its comprehensive income in a separate financial statement as part of its consolidated financial statements. Note 4 - Management Recognition Plan In January 1999, the Company's board of directors approved a Management Recognition Plan (MRP), and in May 1999, the Company's shareholders ratified the plan. The plan authorizes the board of directors to award up to 58,190 shares of restricted common stock to members of the board of directors and senior management. The Company's board of directors has awarded 54,518 shares as of June 30, 2001 (50,845 shares as of June 30, 2000) of restricted common stock to certain members of the board of directors and senior management. The shares are awarded 25% per year. The Company and its subsidiary will share the cost of the Plan and accrue the estimated cost of repurchasing shares to be reissued as restricted stock over the period that such awards are earned. Activity in the MRP plan is as follows: Period Ended June 30, ------------------------------------ 2001 2000 --------------- ---------------- Accrued Liability Balance at Beginning of Period $ 152,895 $ 142,595 Amount Charged to Expense 81,575 79,463 Less Cost of Shares Issued (168,887) (155,559) --------------- ---------------- Accrued Liability Balance at End of Period $ 65,583 $ 66,499 =============== ================ The Company held 18,056 shares as of June 30, 2001 (32,772 shares as of June 30, 2000) of its common stock in trust at a net cost of $221,006 as of June 30, 2001 ($400,915 as of June 30, 2000). A contra-equity account has been established to reflect the cost of such shares held in trust. Note 5 - Stock Option Plan In January 1999, the Company's board of directors approved the Company's 1999 stock option plan, and in May 1999, the Company's shareholders ratified the plan. The plan reserved 145,475 shares of the Company's common stock for issuance pursuant to the options to be granted. These shares will be either newly issued shares or shares purchased on the open market. 10 The Company's board of directors has approved the issuance of stock options under the Plan to certain members of the board of directors and senior management. The options vest at a rate of 25% per year, expire in ten years, and provide for the purchase of stock at an exercise price of $8.60 per share. Stock options awarded totaled 205,869 and 196,061 as of June 30, 2001 and 2000 respectively. The Company has repurchased 188,422 shares as of June 30, 2001 (168,027 shares as of June 30, 2000) of its common stock, which are being held in trusts for when the stock options are exercised. A contra-equity account has been established to reflect the costs of such shares held in trusts. The Company intends to utilize dividends received to continue to purchase shares of its common stock to be placed in the stock option trusts. The Company applies APB Opinion 25 and related Interpretations in accounting for its stock option plan. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized. Had compensation cost for the Company's stock option plan been determined based on the fair value at the grant dates for awards under the plan consistent with the method prescribed by FASB Statement No. 123, the Company's net income and earnings per share would not have been significantly affected. Note 6 - Improvement Plan for Main Office Facility The Company's board of directors recently approved a plan to improve the existing main office facilities. Total cost of the project is estimated to be approximately $1,000,000. Note 7 - Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities In September 2000, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities. This Statement replaces FASB Statement No. 125, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities. It revises the standards for accounting for securitization and other transfers of financial assets and collateral and requires certain disclosures, but it carries over most of Statement No. 125's provisions. The Statement provides accounting and reporting standards for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishment of liabilities occurring after March 31, 2001. This Statement is also effective for recognition and reclassification of collateral and for disclosure related to securitization transactions and collateral for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2000. Since the Company does not currently engage in securitization and other transfers of financial assets and collateral, this Statement is not expected to significantly affect the financial condition or results of operations of the Company. 11 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation General The principal business of United Tennessee Bankshares, Inc. and our wholly owned subsidiary Newport Federal Bank ("we," "us," etc.) consists of accepting deposits from the general public through our main office and two branch offices and investing those funds in loans secured by one- to four-family residential properties located in our primary market area. We also maintain a portfolio of investment securities and originate a limited amount of commercial real estate loans and consumer loans. Our investment securities portfolio consists of U.S. Treasury notes and U.S. government agency securities, local municipal bonds and mortgage-backed securities which are guaranteed as to principal and interest by the FHLMC, GNMA or FNMA. We also maintain an investment in Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati common stock and FHLMC preferred stock. Our net income primarily depends on our net interest income, which is the difference between interest income earned on loans and investment securities and interest paid on customers' deposits and other borrowings. Our net income is also affected by noninterest income, such as service charges on customers' deposit accounts, loan service charges and other fees, and noninterest expense, primarily consisting of compensation expense, deposit insurance and other expenses incidental to our operations. Our operations and those of the thrift industry as a whole are significantly affected by prevailing economic conditions, competition and the monetary and fiscal policies of governmental agencies. Our lending activities are influenced by demand for and supply of housing and competition among lenders and the level of interest rates in our market area. Our 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 our market area. 12 Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000 Total assets increased from December 31, 2000 to June 30, 2001 by $2.3 million, or 2.4%, from $98.6 million at December 31, 2000 to $100.9 million at June 30, 2001. The increase in assets was principally the result of an increase in loans receivable and cash and amounts due from depository institutions. Cash and amounts due increased by $1.2 million as a result of an increase in overnight deposits held at the Federal Home Loan Bank. Loans receivable increased from December 31, 2000 to June 30, 2001 as originations exceeded repayments for the period by approximately $1.0 million. The following table sets forth information about the composition of our loan portfolio by type of loan at the dates indicated. At June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, we had no concentrations of loans exceeding 10% of gross loans other than as disclosed below. June 30, 2001 December 31, 2000 --------------------------- ------------------------- (Dollars in Thousands) --------------------------------------------------------- Amount Percent Amount Percent ------ ------- ------ ------- Type of Loan: Real estate loans: One- to four-family residential $ 54,501 74.5% $ 53,782 75.9% Commercial 9,537 13.0% 10,229 14.4% Construction 3,900 5.3% 2,589 3.6% Consumer loans: Automobile 1,418 1.9% 1,402 2.0% Loans to depositors, secured by deposits 1,189 1.6% 1,250 1.8% Home equity and second mortgage 187 0.3% 227 0.3% Other 2,466 3.4% 1,415 2.0% --------------------------- ------------------------- 73,198 100% 70,894 100% -------------============== ------------============= Less: Loans in process 2,240 1,030 Deferred fees and discounts 350 326 Allowance for loan losses 684 660 -------------- ------------- Total $ 69,924 $ 68,878 ============== ============= We actively monitor our asset quality and charge off loans and properties acquired in settlement of loans against the allowances for losses on such loans and such properties when appropriate and provide specific loss allowances when necessary. Although we believe we use the best information available to make determinations with respect to the allowances for losses, future adjustments may be necessary if economic conditions differ substantially from the economic conditions in the assumptions used in making the initial determinations. 13 The following table sets forth information about our allowance for loan losses for the period indicated. Six Six Months Ended Months Ended June 30, 2001 June 30, 2000 ------------------- ------------------- (In Thousands) Balance at beginning of period $ 660 $ 661 ------------------- ------------------- Charge-offs: Consumer (4) (15) Recoveries: Consumer 0 4 ------------------- ------------------- Net Charge-offs (4) (11) Provision for loan losses 28 16 ------------------- ------------------- Balance at end of period $ $684 $ $666 =================== =================== The following table sets forth information about our nonperforming assets at the dates indicated. June 30, 2001 June 30, 2000 ------------------- ------------------- (In Thousands) Nonaccrual Loans $ 0 $ 0 Accruing loans which are contractually past due 90 days or more: Real Estate: One- to four-family residential 388 358 Commercial 36 101 Consumer 47 19 ------------------- ------------------- Total $ $471 $ $478 =================== =================== At June 30, 2001, the Bank had one additional commercial real estate loan totaling $460,000 as to which known information about possible credit problems of borrower caused us to have doubts as to the ability of the borrower to comply with present loan repayment terms. Although the loan is current, the cash flows of the lessee of the property are below expectations. The loan, however, is well secured and we do not expect to incur any loss in excess of attributable existing reserves on any of our assets. We conduct regular reviews of our assets and evaluate the need to establish allowances on the basis of this review. Allowances are established on a regular basis based on an assessment of risk in our assets taking into consideration the composition and quality of the portfolio, delinquency trends, current charge-off and loss experience, the state of the real estate market, regulatory reviews conducted in the regulatory examination process, general economic conditions and other factors deemed relevant by us. Allowances are provided for individual assets, or portions of assets, when ultimate collection is considered improbable based on the current payment status of the assets and the fair value or net realizable value of the collateral. During the six months ended June 30, 2001, the Company increased its liabilities by $2.2 million, or 2.6%, in order to fund asset growth. Total deposits increased $3.4 million or 4.1% from $81.6 million at December 31, 2000 to $85.0 million at June 30, 2001. Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank decreased $1.0 million, or 59.5%, from $1.75 million at December 31, 2000 to $710,000 at June 30, 2001. Our shareholders' equity increased $161,000 from $13.3 million at December 31, 2000 to $13.5 million at June 30, 2001. The increase was due to $461,000 of net income, payment of approximately $164,000 on the ESOP loan principal, distribution of shares under the MRP plan at a cost of $169,000, and a $111,000 increase in our net unrealized gain on investment securities, offset by the payment of a dividend to shareholders of $415,000, and the repurchase and retirement of stock at a cost of $329,000. 14 Discussion of Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 Our net income for the three months ended June 30, 2001 was $277,000, a $49,000, or 21.5% increase from the $228,000 we earned during the three months ended June 30, 2000. Basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended June 30, 2001 were each $0.21 compared to $0.16 for the same period in 2000. Basic average shares outstanding for the periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 were 1,345,713 and 1,382,013 shares, respectively. Average dilutive potential shares outstanding were 0 and 4,763, respectively. Interest income increased $60,000, or 3.3%, from $1.81 million for the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $1.87 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001. The increase in interest income was due to interest on loans, which increased $146,000, or 10.9%, due to an increase in the average outstanding balance of the loan portfolio. The increase in interest income on loans was offset by a decrease in interest income on investment securities and other interest earning assets of $86,000. Interest expense on deposits increased $41,000 from $906,000 for the three months ended June 31, 2000 to $947,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2001, primarily due to the increase in the average balance of deposits. In addition, the Company incurred $12,000 in interest expense on advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank compared to $87,000 in the prior-year period. Net interest income increased $94,000, or 11.5%, between the periods as the increase in interest income exceeded the increase in interest expense. The Company's net interest margin widened to 3.82% for the three months ended June 30, 2001 compared to 3.40% for the comparable period of 2000. The widening of the net interest margin reflects the current rate environment. Noninterest income increased $32,000 from $75,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $107,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2001. The increase in noninterest income was mainly from increased deposit account service charges consistent with the higher level of deposit accounts during the 2001 period and the restructuring of our deposit fees. Noninterest expenses increased $41,000 from $526,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $567,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2001. Compensation and benefits expense increased $38,000 from $240,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $278,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 due to the addition of personnel and normal salary increases Our effective tax rates for the three months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 were 36.6% and 36.5%, respectively. Discussion of Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 Our net income for the six months ended June 30, 2001 was $461,000, a $58,000, or 14.4% increase over the $403,000 we earned during the six months ended June 30, 2000. Basic and diluted earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 2001 were each $0.34 compared to $0.29 for the same period in 2000. Average shares outstanding for the six month period ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 were 1,372,888 and 1,382,013 shares, respectively. 15 Interest income increased $220,000, or 6.3% from $3.51 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $3.73 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. The increase in interest income was due to interest on loans, which increased $338,000, or 12.9%, due to an increase in the average balance of the loan portfolio. The increase in interest income on loans was partially offset by a decrease in interest income on investment securities and other interest earning assets of $118,000. Interest expense on deposits increased $249,000 due to the increase in average balance of deposits of $7.9 million compared to the same period in the prior year. The Company used the funds from the additional deposits to fund loan originations and to repay advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank. Interest expense on advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank decreased $145,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 compared to the same period in 2000 due to a decrease in the average balance of advances outstanding of approximately $5.0 million. Net interest income increased $116,000 or 7.2% between the periods as the increase in interest income exceeded the increase in interest expense. The Company's net interest margin widened to 3.60% for the six months ended June 30, 2001 compared to 3.42% for the comparable period of 2000. The widening of the interest margin reflects the current rate environment and the fact that our deposit costs have decreased. Noninterest income increased $54,000 from $154,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $208,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001. The increase in noninterest income was mainly from increased deposit account service charges consistent with the higher level of deposit accounts during the 2001 period and the restructuring of our deposit fees. Noninterest expenses increased $91,000 from $1.08 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $1.18 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. Compensation and benefits expense increased $60,000 from $528,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $588,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 due to the addition of personnel and normal salary increases. Our effective tax rates for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 were 36.1% and 38.4%, respectively. The lower effective tax rate is due to an increase in our tax-exempt investment securities in 2001 compared to 2000. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company does not currently have any business activities other than the operation of the Bank and does not have significant on-going funding commitments other than the payment of dividends to shareholders. To date, the Company has used the proceeds from its initial public offering and dividends from the Bank to meet its liquidity needs. The Bank is subject to various regulatory limitations on the payment of dividends to the Company. The Company paid a return of capital distribution with funds on hand and approximately $3.0 million in borrowings from a third party lender during the fourth quarter of 1999. The Bank received permission from the OTS to pay a dividend to the Company in excess of regulatory safe harbor amounts in order to allow the Company to repay the loan in the first quarter of 2000. Our most liquid assets are cash and amounts due from depository institutions, which are short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of less than three months that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash. The 16 levels of these assets are dependent on our operating, financing and investing activities during any given period. Our primary sources of funds are deposits, proceeds from principal and interest payments on loans and investment securities and earnings. While scheduled principal repayments on loans and investment securities are a relatively predictable source of funds, deposit flows and loan and investment securities prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions, competition and other factors. We do not solicit deposits outside of our market area through brokers or other financial institutions. We have also designated all of our investment securities as available for sale in order to meet liquidity demands. In addition to internal sources of funding, as a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank we have substantial borrowing authority with the Federal Home Loan Bank. Our use of a particular source of funds is based on need, comparative total costs and availability. We have historically maintained substantial levels of capital. The assessment of capital adequacy depends on several factors, including asset quality, earnings trends, liquidity and economic conditions. We seek to maintain high levels of regulatory capital to give us maximum flexibility in the changing regulatory environment and to respond to changes in market and economic conditions. These levels of capital have been achieved through consistent earnings enhanced by low levels of noninterest expense and have been maintained at those high levels as a result of our policy of moderate growth generally confined to our market area. At June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, we exceeded all current regulatory capital requirements and met the definition of a "well-capitalized" institution, the highest regulatory capital category. We are required to maintain minimum levels of liquid assets as defined by OTS regulations. This requirement, which may be varied at the discretion of the OTS depending on economic conditions and deposit outflows, is based upon a percentage of deposits and, if any, short-term borrowings. We exceeded all of the liquidity requirements of the OTS as of both June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000. 17 PART II. OTHER INFORMATION ----------------- Item 1. Legal Proceedings None. Item 2.
