Basis of Presentation Harrodsburg First Financial Bancorp (the "Company") was formed at the direction of First Federal Savings Bank of Harrodsburg (the "Bank") to become the holding company of the Bank upon the conversion of the Bank from mutual to stock form (the "Conversion"). Since the Conversion, the Company's primary assets have been the outstanding capital stock of the Bank, 50% of the net proceeds of the Conversion, and a note receivable from the Company's Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP"), and its sole business is that of the Bank. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements and discussions herein include both the Company and the Bank. The Company was incorporated at the direction of the Board of Directors of the Bank in June 1995. On September 29, 1995, the Bank converted from mutual to stock form as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. In conjunction with the Conversion, the Company issued 2,182,125 shares of its common stock to the public. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary for fair presentation have been included. The results of operations and other data for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year ending September 30, 1997. 2. Earnings Per Share Earnings per share for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 1997 amounted to $0.19 per share and $0.38 per share, respectively, based on weighted average common stock shares outstanding. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 1997 was 1,869,800 and 1,903,134 shares, respectively. Earnings per share for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 1996 amounted to $0.16 per share and $0.34 per share, respectively, based on weighted average common stock shares outstanding. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 1996 was 2,011,920 and 2,010,465 shares, respectively. 3. Dividends On March 17, 1997, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized the payment of a cash dividend of $.20 per share to all shareholders of record on March 31, 1997 payable on April 15, 1997. The total dividends paid by the Company for the six months ended March 31, 1997 amounted to $687,103. 4. Treasury Stock Pursuant to the stock repurchase plan approved by the Board of Directors of the Company on September 16, 1996, the Company repurchased a total of 7,220 shares at a total price of $133,045 during the three months ended March 31, 1997. During the six months ended March 31, 1997, a total of 157,369 shares had been repurchased at a total price of $2,790,826. 6 5. Subsequent Event - Employee Benefit Plans On January 27, 1997 the stockholders of the Company approved the establishment of the Harrodsburg First Financial Bancorp, Inc. 1996 Stock Option Plan ("Option Plan") and the First Federal Savings Bank of Harrodsburg Restricted Stock Plan and Trust Agreement ("Restricted Stock Plan"). Pursuant to the Option Plan, which is effective January 27, 1997, 200,000 authorized but unissued shares of common stock have been reserved for issuance upon the exercise of options or the grant of restricted stock to employees and directors of the Company or the Bank. Effective with the approval of the Option Plan by the stockholders, stock options were granted for the purchase of 190,000 shares. The options are exercisable at the fair market of the common stock on the date of the award which was $16.50 per share. All options are nontransferable and have a maximum term of 10 years. The objective of the Restricted Stock Plan, which is effective January 27, 1997, is to enable the Bank to attract and retain personnel of experience and ability in key positions of responsibility. Those eligible to receive benefits under the Restricted Stock Plan will be such employees as selected by members of a committee appointed by the Company's Board of Directors. The Restricted Stock Plan is a non-qualified plan that will be managed through a separate trust. The Bank will contribute sufficient funds to the ERP Trust for the purchase of up to 85,000 shares of common stock. The Company will recognize an expense for the fair market value of any awards granted over the period the award is earned. 7 ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 Net Income Net income increased by $43,000 or 13.7% for the three months ended March 31, 1997 as compared to the same period in 1996. The net increase of $43,000 was due to an increase of $36,000 in net interest income, and a decrease of $22,000 in non-interest expense offset by a $2,000 decrease in non-interest income and a $13,000 increase in income tax expense. Interest Income Interest income was $1.9 million, or 7.2% of average interest-earning assets, for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 as compared to $1.9 million, or 7.1% of average interest-earning assets, for the quarter ended March 31, 1996. Interest income decreased by $2,000 or .1% from 1996 to 1997. The decrease in interest income was due primarily to a $1.3 million decrease in the average balance of interest-earning assets during the quarter ended March 31, 1997 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 1996 offset by an increase of 8 basis point in the average rate earned. Interest Expense Interest expense was $937,000, or 4.8% of average interest-bearing deposits, for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 as compared to $975,000, or 5.1% of average interest-bearing deposits, for the corresponding period in 1996. Interest expense decreased by $38,000 or 3.9% from 1996 to 1997. The decrease in interest expense was due primarily to a 26 basis point decrease in the average rate paid on the deposits during the period ended March 31, 1997 compared to the corresponding period in 1996 offset by an increase of $1.0 million in the balance of average interest-bearing liabilities in 1997 compared to 1996. Provision for Loan Losses There was no provision for loan losses during the quarters ended March 31, 1997 and 1996. Management considers many factors in determining the necessary level of the allowance for loan losses, including an analysis of specific loans in the portfolio, estimated value of the underlying collateral, assessment of general trends in the real estate market, delinquency trends, prospective economic and regulatory conditions, inherent loss in the loan portfolio, and the relationship of the allowance for loan losses to outstanding loans. At March 31, 1997 the allowance for loan losses represented .37% of total loans compared to .40% at March 31, 1996. There can be no assurance that management will not decide to increase the allowance for loan losses or that regulators, when reviewing the Bank's loan portfolios in the future, will not request the Bank to increase such allowance, either of which could adversely affect bank earnings. Further, there can be no assurance that the Bank's actual loan losses will not exceed its allowance for loan losses. 8 Non-Interest Income Non-interest income amounted to $21,000 and $23,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The largest item in non-interest income is service fees on loan and deposit accounts, which amounted to $15,000 and $17,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The decrease in non-interest income of $2,000 was primarily due to the decrease in income from late fees on delinquent loans plus an increase in service fees on deposit transaction accounts. Non-Interest Expense Non-interest expense decreased $22,000 or 4.7% to $445,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 compared to $467,000 for the comparable period in 1996. Non-interest expense was 1.7% of average assets for both quarters. The decrease of $22,000 was due primarily to a decrease in federal and other insurance premiums of $54,000 offset by an increase in compensation and benefits of $18,000 and an increase in other operating expenses of $14,000. The decrease in the federal and other insurance premiums of $54,000 was the result of the reduction of the insurance assessment rate on the Bank's deposits after the special assessment on September 30, 1996 to recapitalize the Savings Association Insurance Fund. The increase of $18,000 in compensation and benefits was primarily due to normal salary increases and an increase related to the employee stock option plan due to the increase in the average price of the stock. The increase of $14,000 in other operating expenses is related mainly to the increase of franchise taxes. Income Taxes The provision for income tax expense amounted to $184,000 and $171,000 for the quarters ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, which as a percentage of income before income tax expense amounted to 34.2% for 1997 and 35.5% for 1996. Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 Net Income Net income increased by $25,000 or 3.6% for the six month period ended March 31, 1997 as compared to the same period in 1996. The net increase of $25,000 was due to an increase of $42,000 in net interest income offset by a decrease of $7,000 in non-interest income, $4,000 increase in non-interest expense and a $6,000 increase in income tax expense for the six month period ended March 31, 1997 compared to the same period in 1996. Interest Income Interest income was $3.8 million, or 7.2% of average interest-earning assets for the six month periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1996. Interest income decreased by $33,000 or .9% from 1996 to 1997. The decrease in interest income was due primarily to a $620,000 decrease in the average balance of interest-earning assets during the six month period ended March 31, 1997 compared to the six month period ended March 31, 1996. Interest Expense Interest expense was $1.9 million, or 4.9% of average interest-bearing deposits, for the six month period ended March 31, 1997 as compared to $2.0 million, or 5.2% of average interest-bearing deposits, for the corresponding period in 1996. Interest expense decreased by $75,000 or 3.8% from 1996 to 1997. The 9 decrease in interest expense was due primarily to a 28 basis point decrease in the average rate paid on the deposits offset by a $1.2 million increase in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits during the period ended March 31, 1997 compared to the corresponding period in 1996. Provision for Loan Losses There was no provision for loan losses during the six month periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1996. Management considers many factors in determining the necessary level of the allowance for loan losses, including an analysis of specific loans in the portfolio, estimated value of the underlying collateral, assessment of general trends in the real estate market, delinquency trends, prospective economic and regulatory conditions, inherent loss in the loan portfolio, and the relationship of the allowance for loan losses to outstanding loans. Non-Interest Income Non-interest income amounted to $40,000 and $47,000 for the six month period ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The largest item in non-interest income is service fees on loan and deposit accounts, which amounted to $30,000 and $37,000 for the six month period ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The decrease in non-interest income of $7,000 was primarily due to the decrease in income from late fees on delinquent loans plus a decrease in deposit transaction service fees. Non-Interest Expense Non-interest expense increased $4,000 or .5% to $875,000 for the six month period ended March 31, 1997 compared to $871,000 for the comparable period in 1996. Non-interest expense was 1.6% of average assets for both periods. The increase of $4,000 was due primarily to an increase in compensation and benefits of $43,000 and an increase in other operating expense of $24,000 offset by a decrease of $63,000 in federal and other insurance premiums. The increase of $43,000 in compensation and benefits was primarily due to normal salary increases and an increase related to the employee stock option plan due to the increase in the average price of the stock. The increase in other operating expenses relates primarily to the increase of franchise taxes. The decrease of $63,000 in federal and other insurance premiums was the result of the reduction of the insurance assessment rate on the Bank's deposits after the special assessment on September 30, 1996 to recapitalize the Savings Association Insurance Fund. Income Taxes The provision for income tax expense amounted to approximately $373,000 and $367,000 for the six month period ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, which as a percentage of income before income tax expense amounted to a 34.3% for 1997 and 34.7% for 1996. 10 Non-Performing Assets The following table sets forth information with respect to the Bank's non-performing assets at the dates indicated. No loans were recorded as restructured loans within the meaning of SFAS No. 15 at the dates indicated. March 31, 1997 September 30, 1996 -------------- ------------------ (amounts in thousands) Loans accounted for on a non-accrual basis:(1) Real Estate: Residential.................................. $ -- $ -- ------------ ------------ Total................................. -- -- ------------- ------------- Accruing loans which are contractually past due 90 days or more: Real Estate: Residential.................................... 332 567 Other ...................................... 52 58 Commercial..................................... -- -- Consumer......................................... 127 241 ------------- ------------- Total................................. 511 866 ============= ============= Total of non-accrual and 90 day past due loans............................. $ 511 $ 866 ============= ============= Percentage of net loans.............................. .64% 1.12% ============= ============= Other non-performing assets(2)...................... $ -- $ -- ============= ============= (1) Non-accrual status denotes any loan past due 90 days and whose loan balance, plus accrued interest exceeds 90% of the estimated loan collateral value. Payments received on a non-accrual loan are either applied to the outstanding principal balance or recorded as interest income, or both, depending on assessment of the collectibility of the loan. (2) Other non-performing assets represent property acquired by the Bank through foreclosure. This property is carried at the lower of its fair market value or the principal balance of the related loan, whichever is lower. At March 31, 1997, the Bank did not have any loans in non-accrual status. Accordingly, all income earned for the six months ended March 31, 1997 on the loans in the table above has been included in income. At March 31, 1997, there were no loans identified by management, which were not reflected in the preceding table, but as to which known information about possible credit problems of borrowers caused management to have serious doubts as to the ability of the borrowers to comply with present loan repayment terms. 11 Financial Condition The Company's consolidated assets decreased approximately $765,000 or .7% to $108.2 million at March 31, 1997 compared to $108.9 million at September 30, 1996. Investment securities increased $1.2 million, loans increased $2.3 million, and cash, interest bearing deposits, and certificates of deposit decreased a total of $4.2 million. The Company's investment portfolio increased approximately $1.2 million. Securities classified as available-for-sale and recorded at market value per SFAS No. 115 increased $220,000 due solely to the increase in market value of such securities. Held-to-maturity securities increased $1.0 million due to the purchase of FHLB bonds, based on management's decision to seek higher yields on funds available for investment. Under SFAS No. 115, unrealized gains or losses on available-for-sale securities are recorded net of deferred income tax as a separate component of stockholders' equity. At March 31, 1997, the Company included net unrealized gains of approximately $1,337,000 in stockholders' equity. At September 30, 1996, the Company included net unrealized gains of approximately $1,192,000 in stockholders' equity. Per SFAS No. 115, such gains or losses will not be reflected as a charge or credit to earnings until the underlying gains or loss, if any, is actually realized at the time of sale. Loans receivable increased by $2.3 million, or 3.0% from $77.5 million at September 30, 1996 to $79.8 million at March 31, 1997, as management continued its efforts to meet the local demand in the Bank's market area. Deposits increased approximately $1.4 million or 1.8% from $76.9 million at September 30, 1996 to $78.3 million at March 31, 1997. This increase reflects the Company's competitively priced product line within the local market area. Stockholders' equity decreased by $1.7 million to $28.5 million as of March 31, 1997. The net decrease of $1.7 million is due to a decrease of $2.0 million from the purchase of Treasury Stock and the declaration of dividends totaling $667,000, offset in part by net income of $716,000, an increase of $145,000 in net unrealized appreciation on investments held-for-sale and an increase of $101,000 related to the release of ESOP shares from collateral during the six months ended March 31, 1997. 12 The following summarizes the Bank's capital requirements and position at March 31, 1997 and September 30, 1996. March 31 September 30 1997 1996 ------------------------------- ------------------------------- (Dollars in Thousands) Amount Percent Amount Percent -------------- -------------- ------------- -------------- Tangible capital....................... $ 22,565 20.9% $ 21,754 20.2% Tangible capital requirement........... 1,603 1.5% 1,618 1.5% -------------- -------------- ------------- -------------- Excess ........................ $ 20,962 19.4% $ 20,136 18.7% ============== ============== ============= ============== Core capital ........................ $ 22,565 20.9% $ 21,754 20.2% Core capital requirement............... 3,205 3.0% 3,235 3.0% -------------- -------------- ------------- -------------- Excess ........................ $ 19,360 17.9% $ 18,519 17.2% ============== ============== ============= ============== Tangible capital ...................... $ 22,565 41.1% $ 21,754 40.2% General valuation allowance............ 290 .5% 290 .5% -------------- -------------- ------------- -------------- Total capital (risk-based capital)..... 22,855 41.6% 22,044 40.7% Risk-based capital requirement......... 4,391 8.0% 4,334 8.0% -------------- -------------- ------------- -------------- Excess ........................ $ 18,464 33.6% $ 17,710 32.7% ============== ============== ============= ============== Liquidity The liquidity of the Company depends primarily on the dividends paid to it as the sole shareholder of the Bank. At March 31, 1997, the Bank could pay common stock dividends of approximately $11.7 million. The Bank's primary sources of funds are deposits and proceeds from principal and interest payments of loans. Additional sources of liquidity are advances from the FHLB of Cincinnati and other borrowings. At March 31, 1997, the Bank had no outstanding borrowings. The Bank has utilized and may in the future, utilize FHLB of Cincinnati borrowings during periods when management of the Bank believes that such borrowings provide a lower cost source of funds than deposit accounts and the Bank desires liquidity in order to help expand its lending operations. The Company's operating activities produced positive cash flows for the six month periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1996. The Bank's most liquid assets are cash and cash-equivalents, which include investments in highly liquid, short-term investments. At March 31, 1997 and 1996, cash and cash equivalents totaled $12.4 million and $22.2 million, respectively. 13 At March 31, 1997, the Bank had $41.5 million in certificates of deposits due within one year and $17.5 million due between one and three years. Management believes, based on past experience, that the Bank will retain much of the deposits or replace them with new deposits. At March 31, 1997, the Bank had $574,000 in outstanding commitments to originate mortgages, excluding $950,000 in approved but unused home equity lines of credit and $675,000 in approved but unused lines of credit and letters of credit. The Bank intends to fund these commitments with short-term investments and proceeds from loan repayments. OTS regulations require that the Bank maintain specified levels of liquidity. Liquidity is measured as a ratio of cash and certain investments to withdrawable savings. The minimum level of liquidity required by regulation is presently 5.0%. During the first six months of fiscal year 1997, the Bank satisfied all regulatory liquidity requirements, and management believes that the liquidity levels maintained are adequate to meet potential deposit outflows, loan demand, and normal operations. Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices The consolidated financial statements and notes thereto presented herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering the change in the relative purchasing power of money over time and due to inflation. The impact of inflation is reflected in the increased cost of the Company's operations. Unlike most industrial companies, nearly all the assets and liabilities of the Company are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a greater impact on the Company's performance than do the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the price of goods and services. 14 PART II. OTHER INFORMATION Item 1.
