FINANCIAL INFORMATION (Continued) Item 1. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements INTERCOUNTY BANCSHARES, INC. and THE NATIONAL BANK & TRUST COMPANY BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Results of operations and cash flows for the three month period ended March 31, 1997, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year to end December 31, 1997. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, accounting policies and financial notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report and Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996 filed with the Commission. WEIGHTED AVERAGE SHARES OUTSTANDING Earnings per common share (EPS) is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The assumed exercise of stock options would not have a material dilutive effect. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, certain shares held in suspense by the Company's employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) are not considered outstanding until they are committed to be released for allocation to participants' accounts. The following table shows the computation of the weighted average shares outstanding. Three Months Ended March 31 1997 1996 Weighted Average Shares: Common shares issued 1,541,150 1,548,977 Unreleased common shares held by ESOP (12,987) (15,351) --------- --------- Common shares outstanding 1,528,163 1,533,626 ========= ========= -4- PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION (Continued) Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations INTERCOUNTY BANCSHARES, INC. and THE NATIONAL BANK & TRUST COMPANY RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARD Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," effective January 1, 1996, encourages, but does not require, adoption of a fair-value-based accounting method for employee stock options. Management elected to continue to recognize compensation cost using the intrinsic-value-based method of accounting in Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." However, the nature of the Company's stock options is such that the accounting treatment is the same under both pronouncements. Compensation cost is recorded during the service period of the optionees based on changes in the book value of the shares since at the election of the optionees, when the options are exercised, the Company is obligated to repurchase the shares at book value. If the Company's shares begin trading on an established market at greater than book value such that optionees will likely not elect to put the shares to the Company, the accrued compensation will be recognized as additional consideration for the stock issued. SFAS No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities" as amended by SFAS No. 127, "Deferral of the Effective Date of Certain Provisions of (SFAS) Statement No. 125," provides accounting and reporting standards to distinguish transfers of financial assets that are sales from transfers that are secured borrowings. Generally, the new standards are first applicable to transactions occurring after December 31, 1997. Adoption of SFAS No. 125 is not expected to have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements. FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS Certain matters disclosed herein may be deemed to be forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, including regulatory policy changes, interest rate fluctuations, loan demand, loan delinquencies and other risks. Actual strategies and results in future time periods may differ materially from those currently expected. Such forward-looking statements represent the Company's judgment as of the current date. The Company disclaims, however, any intent or obligation to update such forward-looking statements. See Exhibit 99 attached hereto, which is incorporated herein by reference. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Net income for the first quarter of 1997 was $1,146,000, an increase of 6.4% from the $1,077,000 earned in the first quarter of 1996. The primary reasons for the increase in earnings were an 8.5% increase in net interest income and a 13.8% increase in non-interest income. This quarter also showed a 33% increase in provision for loan losses and a 7.8% increase in non-interest expense. Net income per share increased 7.1% to $.75 from $.70 for the first quarter of 1996. Net interest income was $3.9 million, $304,000 above the first quarter of 1996. Average interest-earning assets increased $25.0 million (7.5%) to $360.9 million. The volume increase consisted primarily of an increase of $25.0 million in loans and $2.4 million in securities, and a decrease of $2.4 million in federal funds sold. The average yield increased from 8.34% to 8.37%. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased 8.1% to $311.5 million and their cost decreased to 4.62% from 4.71% in the first quarter of 1996. About half of the volume growth was in lower costing transaction accounts. Also, maturing fixed-rate certificates were repriced at lower current rates. As a result, net interest margin increased from 4.30% in the first quarter of 1996 to 4.38% in 1997. -5- PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION (Continued) Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations INTERCOUNTY BANCSHARES, INC. and THE NATIONAL BANK & TRUST COMPANY (Continued) The provision for loan losses was increased to $200,000 for the first quarter of 1997, compared to $150,000 for the same period in 1996. The Bank has increased its provision to reflect slightly higher net charge-offs so far this year and growth in the loan portfolio. Net charge-offs for the first quarter of 1997 were .35% of average loans, compared to .07% for the prior year. Installment loans are generally charged off if four payments have been missed. Generally, all other loans are placed on non-accrual status if they are 90 days or more delinquent. A loan may remain on an accrual status after it is 90 days delinquent if it is reasonably certain the account will be settled in its entirety or brought current within a 30-day period. The current year's accrued interest on loans placed on non-accrual status is charged against earnings. The previous year's accrued interest is charged against the allowance for loan losses. Cash payments received on non-accrual loans are applied against principal until the balance is repaid. Any remaining payments are credited to earnings. Non-performing loans include non-accrual loans, renegotiated loans and ninety days or more past due loans. All loans, except one-to four-family real estate, which are ten days delinquent are sent to the Collections Department for collection. One- to four-family real estate loans are sent when they are fifteen days delinquent. As of March 31, 1997, management knew of no significant loans not now disclosed that would cause management to have serious doubts as to the ability of the borrowers to comply with present loan repayment terms. The following table sets forth certain information regarding the past-due, non-accrual and renegotiated loans of the Bank at the dates indicated (in thousands): March 31 December 31 March 31 1997 1996 1996 -------- ----------- -------- Loans accounted for on non-accrual basis $689 535 400 Accruing loans which are past due 90 days or more 100 90 182 Renegotiated loans - - - --- --- --- Total $789 625 582 === === === The increase in non-accrual loans from December 31, 1996, is attributable to seven loans being placed on non-accrual totaling $283,000 and three loans totaling $130,000 were either reestablished to accrual status or charged-off. Most of these loans should be worked out by the end of the third quarter; three of these are anticipated to be long-term workouts. Management believes the value of the related collateral, if necessary to collect the principal outstanding, limits the Bank's exposure to a potential loss of less than $105,000, including costs of collection. See Exhibit 99 attached hereto, which is incorporated herein by reference. -6- PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION (Continued) Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations INTERCOUNTY BANCSHARES, INC. and THE NATIONAL BANK & TRUST COMPANY (Continued) At March 31, 1997, the Bank's allowance for loan losses totaled $2.65 million and was allocated primarily to the consumer segment of the loan portfolio. A similar allocation existed for all other dates presented. The following table sets forth an analysis of the Bank's allowance for losses on loans for the periods indicated (in thousands): Three Months Ended March 31 1997 1996 ------------------ Balance, beginning of period $2,686 2,644 Charge-offs: Commercial 46 7 Residential real estate - - Installment 166 178 Credit Card 61 38 Other - - ----- ----- Total 273 223 ----- ----- Recoveries: Commercial - 2 Residential real estate - - Installment 34 48 Credit Card 3 5 Other - - ----- ----- Total 37 55 ----- ----- Net Charge-offs (236) (168) Provision for loan losses 200 150 ----- ----- Balance, end of period $2,650 2,626 ===== ===== Non-interest income was $716,000 for the first quarter 1997, an increase of 13.8% from the $629,000 earned in the first quarter of 1996. Most categories in this section have shown increases, although, increased trust income, deposit service charges, and ATM fees accounted for the majority of the improvement. Non-interest expense increased 7.8% for the quarter over the same period in 1996. Salaries increased 10.6% for the quarter due mostly to an increase of 13.2 full-time equivalent employees. Benefits decreased 19.7% as a result of lower expense related to retirement and stock option plans. Equipment expenses increased 45.4% from last year as a result of our continued investment in current technology. Occupancy expense increased 15.7% for the quarter due to the main office renovation. State franchise tax has increased 9.9% due to the increase in Company capital on which it is based. Other expense has increased 3.4% from the first quarter of last year. Performance ratios for the first quarter of 1997 included an annualized return on assets of 1.21%, and an annualized return on equity of 12.53%, compared to 1.22% and 12.61%, respectively, for the first quarter of 1996. -7- PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION (Continued) Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations INTERCOUNTY BANCSHARES, INC. and THE NATIONAL BANK & TRUST COMPANY (Continued) FINANCIAL CONDITION Some of the changes that have occurred in InterCounty's financial condition during 1997 are as follows (in thousands): March 31 December 31 1997 1996 Amount Percent -------- ----------- ------ ------- Loans $270,118 269,282 836 - Securities 95,128 88,831 6,297 7 Savings, NOW, MMDA deposits 115,013 112,726 2,287 2 CD's $100,000 and over 22,363 18,788 3,575 19 Other time deposits 143,672 141,883 1,789 1 Short-term borrowings 37,503 31,113 6,390 21 The loan portfolio showed little change since year end in both balance and structure. The securities portfolio has increased because of additional purchases of U.S. Agency callable bonds that have been funded through a similar amount of short-term borrowing from Federal Home Loan Bank. The Bank continues to use this strategy on a limited basis to enhance earnings. Deposit growth has occurred in interest-bearing transaction accounts and large certificates of deposit. Book value per share was $24.03 compared to $23.86 at December 31, 1996. Equity to assets was 9.43% compared to 9.66% at the end of last year. Total assets grew 6.8% from the first quarter of 1996, to a total of $394.2 million. Total loans increased to $270.1 million, an increase of 9.5%. Commercial and installment loans continue to provide the majority of the internal growth. Commercial loan average grew $15.1 million (17.6%), and installment loan average grew $9.3 million (13.0%). The securities portfolio average has grown 2.7% through the use of excess liquidity. Total deposits increased 6.1% to $315.6 million. Non-interest bearing deposits remained about the same as last year. Average interest-bearing liabilities grew $23.3 million, or 8.1%. Average interest-bearing transaction accounts increased $12.3 million (18.6%), and average retail certificates increased $11.2 million (8.5%). Total equity increased 9.0% to $37.2 million at March 31, 1997. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The maintenance of an adequate level of liquidity is necessary to ensure that sufficient funds are available to meet customers' loan demand and deposit withdrawal. InterCounty manages liquidity on both the asset and liability side of the balance sheet. The loan to total funds ratio at March 31, 1997 was 76%, compared to 74% for the same date in 1996. Management strives to keep this ratio below 80%. The securities portfolio is primarily "available for sale" securities that are readily marketable. Approximately 44% of the portfolio is pledged to secure public deposits and for other purposes as required by law. The balance of the "available for sale" portfolio could be sold if necessary for liquidity purposes. Also a stable deposit base, consisting of 94% core deposits, makes the Bank less susceptible to large fluctuations in funding needs. -8- PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION (Continued) Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations INTERCOUNTY BANCSHARES, INC. and THE NATIONAL BANK & TRUST COMPANY (Continued) The Federal Reserve Board has adopted risk-based capital guidelines which assign risk weightings to assets and off-balance sheet items and also define and set minimum capital requirements (risk-based capital ratios). Bank holding companies must maintain total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based and Tier 1 leverage ratios of 8%, 4% and 3%, respectively. At March 31, 1997, InterCounty had a total risk-based capital ratio of 14.23%, a Tier 1 risk- based capital ratio of 13.29%, and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 9.43%. Item 3.
