BUSINESS Tompkins County Trustco, Inc. (the "Company") is a registered bank holding company, organized under the laws of New York State. On April 26, 1995, the shareholders of Tompkins County Trust Company (the "Trust Company") approved a proposal to revise its corporate structure by establishing the Company as a one bank holding company. On January 1, 1996, the Trust Company became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and all issued and outstanding shares of Trust Company common stock were converted to shares of the Company's common stock. The holding company formation was accounted for similar to a pooling of interests. Accordingly, the financial information included herein combine the results of operations, and the assets, liabilities, and shareholders equity of the Company and the Trust Company for all periods presented. The Trust Company traces its charter back to 1836 and provides loan, deposit, and trust services to its customers primarily in Tompkins County, New York. 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that effect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the statements of condition and statements of income and expenses for the period. Actual amounts could differ from estimates. The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the Company's Form 10-K and related notes for the year ended December 31, 1996. The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial position at September 30, 1997, and December 31, 1996, and the results of operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts for consistency in reporting. 3. STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM In November 1996, the board of directors approved a stock repurchase program, which authorizes the repurchase of up to $3 million in common stock of the Company in open market transactions. No open market transactions have been completed under this program. On May 14, 1997, the Company repurchased 80,000 shares of its common stock in a privately negotiated transaction. The shares, which have been returned to the status of authorized and unissued, were purchased at $33.38 per share, for a total purchase price of $2.67 million. 4. SECURITIES Management determines the appropriate classification of debt and equity securities at the time of purchase. Debt securities are classified as held-to-maturity when the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. Held-to-maturity securities are stated at amortized cost. Debt securities not classified as held-to-maturity and marketable equity securities are classified as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are stated at fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, excluded from earnings and reported as a separate component of shareholders' equity. Amortized cost of held-to-maturity debt securities is adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts to maturity, or in the case of mortgage-backed securities, over the estimated life of the security. Realized gains and losses, and declines in value judged to be other-than-temporary, are included in net securities gains (losses). The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method. Transfers of securities between categories are recorded at fair value at the date of transfer. Unrealized holding gains or losses included in the separate component of shareholders' equity for securities transferred from available-for-sale to held-to-maturity are maintained and amortized into 7 earnings over the remaining life of the security as an adjustment to yield in a manner consistent with the amortization or accretion of premium or discount on the associated security. As of September 30, 1997, net unrealized gains on securities classified as available-for-sale totaled $1.3 million, resulting in an after tax increase to shareholders' equity of $756,000. As of December 31, 1996, available-for-sale securities had net unrealized gains of $113,000, resulting in an after tax shareholders' equity capital increase of $66,000. 5. LOANS Loans are reported at their principal outstanding balance net of charge-offs, deferred loan fees and costs, and unearned income. The Company provides motor vehicle and equipment financing to its customers through direct financing leases. These leases are carried at the aggregate lease payments receivable, plus estimated residual values, less unearned income. Unearned income on direct financing leases is amortized over the lease terms resulting in a level rate of return. Loans, including impaired loans, are generally classified as nonaccrual if they are past due as to maturity or payment of principal or interest for a period of more than 90 days, unless such loans are well secured and in the process of collection. Loans that are past due less than 90 days may also be classified as nonaccrual if repayment in full of principal and/or interest is in doubt. Loans may be returned to accrual status when all principal and interest amounts contractually due (including arrearages) are reasonably assured of repayment within an acceptable time period, and there is a sustained period of repayment performance by the borrower, in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Payments received on loans carried as nonaccrual are generally applied as a reduction to principal. When the future collectibility of the recorded loan balance is expected, interest income may be recognized on a cash basis. The Company's recorded investment in loans considered impaired was $935,000 on September 30, 1997, and the average recorded investment in impaired loans was $998,000 through the first nine months of 1997. Included in this amount was $231,000 of impaired loans for which related reserves total $113,000. The recorded investment in impaired loans as of December 31, 1996, was $1.2 million. The December 31, 1996 amount includes $582,000 of impaired loans which had related reserves of $94,000. Interest income on impaired loans of $23,000 was recognized for cash payments received during the first nine months of 1997. 6. ACCOUNTING CHANGES In June 1996, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers of Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities." The statement provides accounting and reporting standards for transfers of servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities based upon a consistent application of a financial-components approach that focuses on control. It distinguishes transfers of financial assets that are sales, from transfers that are secured borrowings. The Company prospectively adopted applicable sections of SFAS No. 125 effective January 1, 1997. Sections of SFAS No. 125, which have been deferred by SFAS No. 127 will be prospectively adopted by the Company on January 1, 1998. The expected impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements is not material. In December 1996, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 128, "Earnings Per Share". The Statement supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 15. "Earnings Per Share", and specifies the computation, presentation, and disclosure requirements for earnings per share (EPS) for entities with publicly held common stock. It requires dual presentation of "Basic EPS" and "Diluted EPS" on the face of the income statement for all entities with complex capital structures. The Company will prospectively adopt SFAS No. 128 effective for financial statement periods ending after December 15, 1997. Upon adoption, all prior period EPS will be restated. The expected impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements is not material. In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 129, "Disclosure of Information about Capital Structure". SFAS 129 establishes standards for disclosing information about an entity's capital structure and is effective for financial statement periods ending after December 31, 1997. Adoption of SFAS 129 is not expected to have an impact on the financial condition or results of operations of the Company. 8 In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income". SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general purpose financial statements. Comprehensive income is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. The impact of adopting SFAS No. 130, which is effective for the Company in 1998, has not been determined. In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information. SFAS No. 131 requires publicly held companies to report financial and other information about key revenue-producing segments of the entity for which such information is available and is utilized by the chief operation decision maker. Specific information to be reported for individual segments includes profit or loss, certain revenue and expense items and total assets. A reconciliation of segment financial information to amounts reported in the financial statements would be provided. SFAS No. 131 is effective for the Company in 1998 and the impact of adoption has not been determined. 9 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This discussion is intended to provide the reader with a further understanding of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of Tompkins County Trustco, Inc. and its operating subsidiary the Tompkins County Trust Company. It should be read in conjunction with the Company's Form 10-K and related notes for the year ended December 31, 1996, and the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes included elsewhere in this report. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Net income for the third quarter of 1997 was $2.6 million, compared to $2.5 million for the third quarter of 1996. Earnings per share in the third quarter of 1997 increased by 13% to $0.81, compared to $0.72 in the third quarter of 1996. Year to date net income increased to $7.5 million through the first nine months of 1997, compared to net income of $7.0 million for the same nine month period of 1996. Year to date earnings per share increased by 16% to $2.30, compared to $1.99 per share for the first nine months of 1996. Significant improvement in earnings per share through the first nine months of 1997 was achieved through a combination of 6% growth in net income, and an 8% decline in the average number of shares outstanding. The reduction in average shares outstanding is primarily the result of two privately negotiated transactions in which the Company repurchased 244,371 common shares in October of 1996 and 80,000 common shares in May of 1997. The Company's return on average assets was 1.64% through the first nine months of 1997, compared to 1.68% during the same period in 1996. Return on average shareholders' equity for the first nine months of 1997 was 18.97%, compared to 16.98% for the same period in 1996. The 12% increase in return on average shareholders' equity was aided by the repurchases of the Company's common stock. NET INTEREST INCOME The Company earned net interest income of $20.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, compared to $19.0 million for the same period in 1996. The improvement in net interest income is attributable to growth in the Company's earnings assets, which helped offset a modest decline in net interest margin. The attached Average Consolidated Balance Sheet and Net Interest Analysis reflects a 4.82% tax-equivalent net interest margin on earning assets through the first nine months of 1997, compared to a 4.99% ratio through the first nine months of 1996. Despite favorable trends on rates paid on interest-bearing core deposits, an increased volume of large time deposits and other borrowings resulted in higher overall funding costs. The cost of interest bearing liabilities was 4.26% through the first nine months of 1997, compared to 4.12% for the same period in 1996. The increasing cost of funds precipitated a decline in net interest margin, despite the tax-equivalent yield on earning assets remaining steady at 8.29% PROVISION FOR LOAN AND LEASE LOSSES The provision represents management's estimate of the expense necessary to maintain the reserve for loan and lease losses at an adequate level. The third quarter provision of $263,000 is relatively unchanged from the $258,000 provision in the third quarter of 1996. The year-to-date provision of $830,000 represents a $117,000 increase from the $713,000 provision made during the first nine months of 1996. OTHER INCOME Total other income of $2.2 million in the third quarter of 1997, compared favorably to $2.1 million in the third quarter of 1996. Year-to-date other income of $6.5 million represents an 11% increase from the $5.9 million reported for the same nine month period of 1996. Income from trust and investment services, the largest segment of other income, increased 16% to $2.3 million, compared to $2.0 million in the first nine months of 1996. The increase is primarily attributable to continued asset growth in the Trust and Investment Services Department. Total assets under management by the Trust and Investment Services Department were $775.1 million on September 30, 1997, which includes $129.2 million of the Company's investment portfolio, for which the department provides custodial services. Total Trust and investment services are considered important to future revenue growth of the Company and management continues to market these services broadly. 10 Credit card merchant fee income of $1.7 million through the first nine months of 1997 represents a 17% increase from the same period in 1996. Growth in merchant fee income is primarily attributable to an increase in the number of Trust Company merchant customers. Total other income is reduced by $85,000 in losses on the sale of available-for-sale investments, the proceeds from which were reinvested in higher yielding investments. OTHER EXPENSE Total other expenses increased in the third quarter from $4.4 million in 1996 to $4.8 million in 1997. Through the first nine months of 1997, other operating expenses were up approximately 7% to $14.1 million. Credit card operating expense is a variable expense that increases as the volume of merchant and card holder transactions increases. The 17% increase in credit card operating expenses during the first nine months of 1997 is primarily due to an increase in the volume of merchant customer transactions. Year-to-date other operating expenses increased from $3.0 million in 1996, to $3.4 million in 1997. Included in other operating expenses is a $120,000 accrual for donations expensed in the second quarter of 1997, which has been committed to local not for profit organizations and will be distributed throughout the remainder of the year. Year-to-date donations expense was $162,000 as of September 30, 1997, compared to $35,000 for the same period of 1996. Other operating expenses increased by $75,000 in 1997 due to amortization of a core deposit intangible asset. The core deposit intangible asset resulted from the Trust Company's acquisition of its Odessa branch office in October 1996, and is being amortized over a five year period. INTEREST RATE RISK Interest rate sensitivity refers to the volatility of earnings caused by changes in interest rates. Each month the Asset/Liability Management Committee estimates the likely impact on earnings resulting from various changing interest rate scenarios. The findings of the committee are incorporated into the investment and funding decision of the Company. The Trust Company's September 30, 1997, one-year cumulative rate sensitivity gap was a negative 18.4% of total assets. This suggests earnings would benefit from a declining interest rate environment, and would be vulnerable to a rising interest rate environment. Management believes the current interest rate risk exposure is not significant given the Company's current level of earnings and capital. FINANCIAL CONDITION The Company's total assets were $624.1 million as of September 30, 1997, representing a 6% increase over total assets reported as of December 31, 1996. Growth was evenly distributed between loans, which grew by 5%, and securities (net of SFAS 115 market value adjustments on available-for-sale securities) which grew by approximately 7%. Asset growth was funded through a combination of core deposit growth, large time deposit growth, and other borrowings. CAPITAL Total shareholders' equity grew by 5% during the first nine months of 1997 to $55.2 million. Dividends through September 30, 1997 totaled approximately $3.0 million, or $.92 per share. Dividends paid in the first nine months of 1997 represent approximately 40% of year-to-date earnings. Total common shares outstanding were reduced in May 1997, after the Company repurchased 80,000 shares at a price of $33.375 per share. The shares were returned to the status of authorized but unissued, and the transaction resulted in a $2.7 million reduction in total shareholders' equity. The Company and the Trust Company are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by Federal banking agencies. Management believes the Company and the Trust Company meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject. The table below reflects the Company's capital position at September 30, 1997, compared to the regulatory capital requirements for "well capitalized" institutions. 11 REGULATORY CAPITAL ANALYSIS - September 30, 1997 ====================================================================================================== ACTUAL WELL CAPITALIZED REQUIREMENT (Dollar amounts in thousands) AMOUNT RATIO AMOUNT RATIO - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Total Capital (to risk weighted assets) 58,467 16.4% 35,644 10.0% Tier I Capital (to risk weighted assets) 54,006 15.2% 21,387 6.0% Tier I Capital (to average assets) 54,006 8.7% 30,935 5.0% ====================================================================================================== As illustrated above, the Company's capital ratios on September 30, 1997 remain well above the minimum requirement for well capitalized institutions. Despite the $2.6 million reduction in capital from the common stock repurchased in May 1997, capital ratios are generally improved form the levels reported as of December 31, 1996. As of December 31, 1996, the Company's Total Capital as a percentage of Risk Weighted assets was 16.1%; Tier I Capital to risk weighted assets was 14.9%; and Tier I Capital to average assets was 8.9%. RESERVE FOR LOAN AND LEASE LOSSES AND NONPERFORMING ASSETS Management reviews the adequacy of the reserve for loan and lease losses in a detailed and ongoing basis, giving consideration to various risk elements that may affect losses in the loan portfolio. Based upon management's review, the current reserve of $4.9 million is believed to be adequate to absorb inherent losses in the loan and lease portfolios. Activity in the Company's reserve for loan and lease losses during the first nine months of 1997 and 1996 is illustrated in the table below. ANALYSIS OF THE RESERVE FOR LOAN/LEASE LOSSES (In Thousands) ======================================================================================================= SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Average Loans and Leases Outstanding Year to Date 358,085 329,818 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Beginning Balance 4,779 4,704 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Provision for loan losses 830 712 Loans charged off (1,053) (989) Loan recoveries 373 327 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net Charge-offs (680) (662) ======================================================================================================= Ending Balance 4,929 4,754 ======================================================================================================= Annualized net charge-offs through the first nine months of 1997 amounted to 0.25% of average loans outstanding during the period. This ratio compares to 0.27% for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. The level of nonperforming loans, as illustrated in the table below, reflects an improvement from the prior year. Over 85% of nonperforming loans as of September 30, 1997 are secured by real estate, with 67% secured by 1-4 family residential properties. NONPERFORMING ASSETS (In thousands) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nonaccrual loans 1,763 1,429 Loans past due 90 days and accruing 55 866 Troubled debt restructuring not included above 0 0 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total nonperforming loans 1,818 2,295 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other real estate, net of allowances 137 201 ============================================================================================================== Total nonperforming assets 1,955 2,496 ============================================================================================================== Total nonperforming loans as a percent of total loans 0.49% 0.67% Total nonperforming assets as a percentage of total assets 0.31% 0.43% ============================================================================================================== 12 DEPOSITS AND OTHER LIABILITIES Total Deposits were $465.1 million on September 30, 1997, representing 9% growth over total deposits on December 31, 1996. Core deposits, which include demand deposits, savings and money market accounts, and time deposits of less than $100,000 represent the primary funding source for the Company. As of September 30, 1997, core deposits of $359.7 million represented 63.2% of total liabilities. This compares to core deposits of $357.3 million, representing 66.3% of total liabilities on December 31, 1996. The above core deposit comparison excludes $27.3 million from the September 30, 1997 core deposit total, which represents funds formerly held as large time deposits and securities sold under agreements to repurchase, which have been temporarily shifted to money market deposits. Due to the wholesale nature of these deposits, management does not consider them to be core deposits. The Company uses large time deposits, securities sold under repurchase agreements, Federal funds purchased, and other borrowings as additional funding sources. Time Deposits of $100,000 and over increased from $70.0 million on December 31, 1996, to $78.0 million on September 30, 1997. As of September 30, 1997, total securities sold under repurchase agreements amounted to $76.1 million, compared to $86.2 million at December 31, 1996. There were no Federal funds purchased on September 30, 1997, compared to $3.8 million on December 31, 1996. Other borrowings of $20.0 million represent a $5.0 million increase from December 31, 1996. LIQUIDITY Liquidity represents the Company's ability to efficiently and economically accommodate decreases in deposits and other liabilities, and fund increases in assets. The Company uses a variety of resources to meet its liquidity needs which include cash and cash equivalents, short term investments, cash flow from lending and investing activities, deposit growth, securities sold under repurchase agreements, and borrowings. Cash and cash equivalents increased from $25.3 million on December 31, 1996, to $27.2 million on September 30, 1997. Short term investments consisting of securities due in one year or less increased from $27.6 million on December 31, 1996, to $37.1 million on September 30, 1997. Total securities pledged to secure certain large deposits and securities sold under repurchase agreements declined as a percentage of total securities from 88.6% on December 31, 1996, to 77.8% on September 30, 1997. Additional liquidity is provided through the Trust Company's Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) membership. As of September 30, 1997, the Trust Company had approximately $57.6 million in unused borrowing capacity through established lines of credit with the FHLB. The Trust Company has approximately $149.7 million in loans secured by first liens on residential properties that can be used to secure additional borrowings from the FHLB. 13 TOMPKINS COUNTY TRUSTCO, INC.
