AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2004 (UNAUDITED) Note 1 - Principles of Consolidation - The accompanying consolidated financial statements at September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003 and for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 include the accounts of Globe Bancorp, Inc. (the Company) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Globe Homestead Savings Bank (the Bank). Currently, the business and management of the Company is primarily the business and management of the Bank. The Company's business is conducted principally through the Bank. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in the consolidation. Note 2 - Basis of Presentation - The accompanying unaudited financial statements were prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-QSB and, therefore, do not include information or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. However, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals), which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements, have been included. The results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ended December 31, 2004. Note 3 - Employee Stock Ownership Plan - The Company sponsors a leveraged employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) that covers all employees who have at least one year of service with the Bank. The ESOP shares were initially pledged as collateral for its debt. The debt is being repaid based on a fifteen-year amortization and the shares are being released for allocation to active employees annually over the fifteen-year period. The shares pledged as collateral are deducted from stockholders' equity as unearned compensation in the accompanying balance sheets. As shares are released from collateral, the Company reports compensation expense equal to the current market price of the shares released. The Bank has accrued $19,000 of ESOP expense through September 30, 2004. The ESOP shares as of September 30, 2004 were as follows: Shares released for allocation or committed to be released 4,867 Unreleased shares 19,467 Total ESOP shares 24,334 ====== Fair value of unreleased shares $330,939 (1) ======== - -------------- (1) Based on market price on September 30, 2004. Note 3 - Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, which were 255,911 for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2003. Diluted earnings per share are calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, including the effect of diluted securities. The weighted average number of shares for diluted earnings per share calculations was also 254,333 for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2004 as the Company had no dilutive securities during the periods. 8 GLOBE BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation General The following discussion compares the consolidated financial condition of Globe Bancorp, Inc. and Subsidiary at September 30, 2004 to December 31, 2003 and the results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2004 with the same periods in 2003. Currently, the business and management of the Company is primarily the business and management of the Bank. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the interim consolidated financial statements and footnotes included herein. This quarterly report on Form 10-QSB includes statements that may constitute forward-looking statements, usually containing the words "believe", "estimate", "expect", "intend" or similar expressions. These statements are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements inherently involve risk and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause future results to vary from current expectations include, but are not limited to, the following: changes in economic conditions (both generally and more specifically in the markets in which the Company operates); changes in interest rates, accounting principles, policies or guidelines and in government legislation and regulation (which change from time to time and over which the Company has no control); and other risks detailed in this quarterly report on Form 10-QSB and the Company's other Securities and Exchange Commission filings. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect management's analysis only as of the date hereof. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly revise these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that arise after the date hereof. Our profitability depends primarily on our net interest income, which is the difference between interest and dividend income on interest-earning assets, principally loans, investment securities and interest-earning deposits in other institutions, and interest expense on interest-bearing deposits and borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas. Net interest income is dependent upon the level of interest rates and the extent to which such rates are changing. Our profitability also depends, to a lesser extent, on noninterest income, provision for loan losses, noninterest expenses and income tax expense. During the period reported herein, net interest income after provision for loan losses exceeded total noninterest expense. Total noninterest expense consists of general, administrative and other expenses, such as compensation and benefits, occupancy and equipment expense, deposit insurance premiums and miscellaneous other expenses. Globe Bancorp, Inc. is the holding company for the Bank. Substantially all of the Company's assets are currently held in, and its operations are conducted through, its sole subsidiary, the Bank. Historically, the Bank's business has consisted primarily of originating single-family real estate loans secured by property in its market area. The Bank's loans are primarily funded by certificates of deposit, which typically have higher rates than transaction accounts. Typically, single-family loans involve a lower degree of risk and carry a lower yield than commercial real estate, construction and consumer loans. The combination of these factors has resulted in historically lower interest rate spreads and returns on equity. Although the Bank may attempt to expand its loan products by emphasizing certain consumer lending, we presently anticipate that our business will continue to primarily consist of originating single-family loans funded primarily by deposits. Our operations and profitability are subject to changes in interest rates, applicable statutes and regulations and general economic conditions, as well as other factors beyond our control. 9 GLOBE BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY Changes in Financial Condition Total assets decreased by $2,102,000 or 6.58% from December 31, 2003 to September 30, 2004. The decrease was primarily due to decreases of $1,648,000 or 36.07% in securities, available for sale and held to maturity, $325,000 or 1.30% in net loans receivable and $88,000 or 5.35% in cash and cash equivalents. The Bank did not have any classified assets on September 30, 2004 or December 31, 2003. Total liabilities decreased by $2,206,000 or 8.36% from December 31, 2003 to September 30, 2004 primarily due primarily to a decrease in deposits of $2,064,000 or 9.20%. The decrease in deposits was due to decreases in interest-bearing deposits. Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") advances decreased $296,000 or 7.93% from December 31, 2003 to September 30, 2004. The decrease was due to normal loan amortization during the period. Total stockholders' equity increased by $104,000 or 1.86% in the first nine months of 2004. Equity was increased by net income of $142,000 and by a $9,000 reduction in accumulated other comprehensive loss during the period, and offset by cash dividends paid of $48,000. Stockholders' equity at September 30, 2004 totaled $5,654,000 or 18.95% of total assets compared to $5,550,000 17.38% of total assets at December 31, 2003. Liquidity and Capital Resources Federal regulations require that a savings institution maintain sufficient liquidity to ensure the safety and soundness of its operations. At September 30, 2004, the Bank had $3,335,000, or 11.24% of total assets in cash, cash equivalents and securities available for sale. The Bank believes that it maintains sufficient liquidity to operate in a safe and sound manner. At September 30, 2004, the Bank had outstanding no commitments to originate mortgage loans At the same time, commitments under unused lines of credit and loans in process amounted to $732,000. In addition, as of September 30, 2004, the total amount of certificates of deposit and Federal Home Loan Bank advances that were scheduled to mature in the following twelve months were $4,721,000 and $410,000, respectively. The Bank believes that it has adequate resources to fund all of its commitments and that it can adjust the rate on certificates of deposit to retain deposits in changing interest rate environments. If the Bank requires funds beyond its internal funding capabilities, advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas are available as an additional source of funds. The Bank is required to maintain regulatory capital sufficient to meet tangible, core and risk-based capital ratios of at least 1.5%, 4.0% and 8.0%, respectively. At September 30, 2004, the Bank exceeded each of its capital requirements with ratios of 17.23%, 17.23% and 36.98%, respectively. Results of Operations Net income increased by $30,000 or 96.07% in the quarter ended September 30, 2004 and increased by $28,000 or 24.44% in the nine month period ended September 30, 2004 compared to the respective periods in 2003. The increase in net income was primarily due to an increase in net interest income, a decrease in salaries and employee benefits expense that resulted from the resignation of the Bank's chief executive officer on March 19, 2004, and offset by an increase in income tax expense. 10 GLOBE BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY Interest income decreased $14,000 or 3.46% for the quarter ended September 30, 2004 and decreased by $130,000 or 9.81% in the nine month period ended September 30, 2004 compared to the same periods in 2003. This was primarily due to increases and decreases in income from loans receivable, securities, available for sale and held to maturity, and other interest-earning assets during the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2004. Interest income on loans receivable increased $3,000 or .77% for the quarter ended September 30, 2004 and decreased $48,000 or 4.21% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2004 were due primarily to decreases in the balance of such assets as a result of early repayments. The decreases in interest income on investment securities of $12,000 or 30.81% for the quarter ended September 30, 2004 and $69,000 or 42.33% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2004 were due to a decrease in the balance of such assets as a result of early repayments. The decreases in interest income on other interest-earning assets of $5,000 or 40.47% for the quarter ended September 30, 2004 and $13,000 or 41.05% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2004 were due to a decrease in the average balance of such assets from $3,554,000 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2003 to $1,476,000 for the same period in 2004. Interest expense decreased $43,000 or 21.88% in the three months ended September 30, 2004 and decreased $167,000 or 26.07% in the nine month period ended September 30, 2004 over the comparable periods in 2003. These decreases were due to decreases in interest expense on deposits and FHLB advances. The decrease in interest expense on deposits of $37,000 or 24.34% for the quarter ended September 30, 2004 and $146,000 or 29.25% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2004 were due to a decrease in the average rate paid on deposits and a decrease in the average balance of such deposits. The average rate paid on deposits decreased from 2.58% and 2.81% for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2003 to 2.22% and 2.19% for the same periods in 2004. Such decreases reflect the declining interest rate environment. The average balance of deposits decreased to $20,583,000 and $21,406,000 for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2004, respectively, compared to $23,398,000 and $23,631,000, respectively, for the same periods in 2003. Interest expense on FHLB advances decreased $6,000 or 13.64% for the quarter ended September 30, 2004 and $21,000 or 14.82% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2004 compared to the same periods in 2003. These decreases were due to a decrease in the average balance of such liabilities resulting from regular amortization. Net interest income increased $28,000 or 13.35% in the three months ended September 30, 2004 and increased $37,000 or 5.34% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2004 over the comparable 2003 periods. This was primarily due to an increase in the interest rate spread resulting from the repricing of interest-bearing liabilities. The interest rate spread increased to 2.90% and 2.78% for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2004, respectively, from 2.13% and 2.26%, respectively, for the same periods in 2003. The net interest margin was 3.34% and 3.20% for three and the nine month periods ended September 30, 2004, respectively, compared to 2.61% and 2.77%, respectively, for the same periods in 2003. There was no provision for loan losses for the three month periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2003. There was no provision for loan losses for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2003. At September 30, 2004 and 2003 the Bank did not have any non-accruing or non-performing loans. The allowance for loan losses amounted to $100,000 at September 30, 2004, representing 0.41% of the total loans outstanding. The allowance for loan losses did not change for the quarter ended September 30, 2004. The Bank believes its allowance for loan losses was sufficient as of September 30, 2004 to cover all known and inherent losses in the loan portfolio which are both probable and reasonably estimable. Non-interest income decreased $2,000 or 42.31% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2004 compared to the respective period in 2003. This decrease was attributable to decreases in the net gain on sale of securities available for sale and a decrease in service charges. The decrease in gain on sale of securities was due to decreased sales activity during the relevant 2004 period. 11 GLOBE BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY Non-interest expenses decreased $22,000 or 12.77% in the three months ended September 30, 2004 and decreased $17,000 or 3.20% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2004 compared to the same periods in 2003. The decrease in non-interest expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2004 was primarily due to a decrease of $23,000 or 26.04% in salaries and employee benefits resulting from the resignation of the Bank's chief executive officer on March 19, 2004, offset by various increases and decreases, in other non-interest expenses. Income tax expense increased in the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2004 due to an increase in income before income taxes, compared to the same periods in 2003. The effective tax rates for the three month periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 were 34.45% and 27.89%, respectively. The effective tax rates for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 were 34.95% and 31.81%, respectively. Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices The financial statements and related financial data presented herein regarding the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which generally require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars, without considering changes in relative purchasing power over time due to inflation. Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all of the Company's assets and liabilities are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates generally have a more significant impact on the Company's performance than does the effect of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or in the same magnitude as the prices of goods and services, since such prices are affected by inflation to a larger extent than interest rates. Critical Accounting Policies The Company's consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and follow general practices within the industry in which it operates. Various elements of our accounting policies, by their nature, are inherently subject to estimation techniques, valuation assumptions and other subjective assessments. In particular, the methodology for the determination of our allowance for loan losses, due to the judgments, estimates and assumptions inherent in that policy, is critical to preparation of our financial consolidated statements. The allowance for loan losses represents management's estimate of probable credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Determining the amount of the allowance for loan losses is considered a critical accounting estimate because it requires significant judgment and the use of subjective measurements including management's assessment of the internal risk classification of loans, changes in the nature of the loan portfolio and the impact of current local, regional and national economic factors on the quality of the loan portfolio. Change in these estimates and assumptions are reasonably possible and may have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements, results of operations or liquidity. 12 GLOBE BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY Item 3 - Controls and Procedures The Company's management evaluated, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that are filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and regulations and are operating in an effective manner. No change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) occurred during the most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting. 13 GLOBE BANCORP, INC.
