NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Note (1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

HopFed Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) was formed at the direction of Heritage Bank, formerly known as Hopkinsville Federal Bank (the “Bank”) to become the holding company of the Bank upon the conversion of the Bank from a federally chartered mutual savings bank to a federally chartered stock savings bank. The conversion was consummated on February 6, 1998. The Company’s primary asset is the outstanding capital stock of the converted Bank, and its sole business is that of the converted Bank.

 

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“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 June 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year ending December 31, 2005.

 

The accompanying unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004. The accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Company’s December 31, 2004 Consolidated Financial Statements.

The following schedule reconciles the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) computations for the three and six-months ending June 30, 2005 and 2004.

Note (3) STOCK OPTIONS

 

The Company accounts for its stock option plans in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations, as permitted by SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. As such, compensation expense is recorded on the date of grant only if the current market price of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price. SFAS 123 requires entities which continue to apply the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 to provide pro-forma earnings per share disclosure for stock option grants made in 1995 and subsequent years as if the fair value based method defined in SFAS 123 had been applied. SFAS 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure – an amendment of FASB No. 123, provides that an entity that has transitioned to the accounting treatment prescribed by SFAS 123 may use the intrinsic value method in lieu of the fair value based method for determining the fair value of stock options at the date of grant. SFAS 148 requires disclosure in addition to SFAS 123 if APB Opinion No. 25 is currently being applied.

 

The Company applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (APB), Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations in the accounting for the plan. No compensation cost has been recognized for the plan because the stock option prices are equal to or greater than the fair value at the grant date. The table below is a reconciliation of reported and pro forma net income and earnings per share had compensation cost for the plan been determined based on the fair value method of SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, as amended:

Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004

 

Total assets increased by $11.4 million, from $579.7 million at December 31, 2004 to $591.1 million at June 30, 2005. Securities available for sale decreased from $155.2 million at December 31, 2004 to $150.9 million at June 30, 2005. Federal funds sold increased from $850,000 at December 31, 2004, to $1.8 million at June 30, 2005.

 

At June 30, 2005, investments classified as “held to maturity” were carried at an amortized cost of $22.7 million and had an estimated fair market value of $22.7 million, and securities classified as “available for sale” had an estimated fair market value of $150.9 million.

 

The loan portfolio increased $10.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2005. Net loans totaled $367.2 million and $356.8 million at June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, the average yield on loans was 5.65%, compared to 5.55% for the year ended December 31, 2004.

 

The allowance for loan losses totaled $3.7 million at June 30, 2005, an increase of approximately $400,000 from the allowance of $3.3 million at December 31, 2004. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to loans was 0.99% at June 30, 2005 and 0.91% at December 31, 2004. Also at June 30, 2005, non-performing loans were $693,000, or 0.19% of total loans, compared to $653,000, or 0.18% of total loans, at December 31, 2004, and the ratio of allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans at June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 was 528.7% and 501.2%, respectively. The determination of the allowance for loan losses is based on management’s analysis, performed on a quarterly basis.

 

Various factors are considered in determining the necessary allowance for loan losses, including the market value of the underlying collateral, growth and composition of the loan portfolio, the relationship of the allowance for loan losses to outstanding loans, historical loss experience, delinquency trends and prevailing economic conditions. Although management believes the allowance for loan losses is adequate, there can be no assurance that additional provisions for loan losses will not be required or that losses on loans will not be incurred. Minimal losses on loans have been incurred in prior years. The Company had $55,000 in real estate owned and $125,000 of other assets owned at June 30, 2005. The Company’s non-performing assets at June 30, 2005 totaled $873,000, or 0.15% of total assets. At December 31, 2004, the Company had $2.3 million in loans classified as special mention, $814,000 classified as substandard and $97,000 classified as doubtful. At June 30, 2005, the Company had no loans classified as special mention, $1.6 million classified as substandard and $487,000 classified as doubtful.

 

At June 30, 2005, deposits increased to $452.7 million from $436.2 million at December 31, 2004, an increase of $16.5 million. The average cost of deposits during the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2005 and the year ended December 31, 2004 was 2.45%, 2.40% and 2.26%, respectively.

 

Management continually evaluates the investment alternatives available to customers and adjusts the pricing on its deposit products to more actively manage its funding cost while remaining competitive in its market area. Management’s current business plan focuses on growing the Company’s deposit base for non-interest bearing and demand deposit accounts and maintaining a lesser dependence on high cost time deposit accounts.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Six-Months Ended June 30, 2005 and 2004

 

Net Income. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $ 2.1 million, compared to net income of $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004.

 

Net Interest Income. Net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $6.8 million, compared to $6.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004. The decline in net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was due to the an increase in short term interest rates and lower long term interest rates. As a result, the Bank’s cost of deposits has increased at a rate greater than its yield on earning assets. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, the Bank’s average tax equivalent yield on average interest-earning assets was 5.18%, compared to 5.10% for the six months ended June 30, 2004, and its average cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 2.81% for the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared to 2.54% for the six months ended June 30, 2004. As a result, the Bank’s interest rate spread for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was 2.36%, compared to 2.55% for the six months ended June 30, 2004, and its net yield on interest-earning assets was 2.58% for the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared to 2.76% for the six months ended June 30, 2004. See Item 3 – “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.”

 

Interest Income. Interest income increased by approximately $900,000 from $12.9 million to $13.8 million, or by 7.0%, during the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004. This increase primarily resulted from an increase in the average balance of the loan and investment portfolio. The average balance of taxable securities available for sale increased $9.7 million, from $121.6 million at June 30, 2004, to $131.3 million at June 30, 2005, while the average balance of securities held to maturity increased $3.1 million, from $19.6 million at June 30, 2004 to $22.7 million at June 30, 2005. The average balance of tax-free securities available for sale declined from $28.0 million at June 30, 2004 to $21.3 million at June 30, 2005. In addition, average time deposits and other interest-earning cash deposits declined approximately $700,000, from $2.4 million at June 30, 2004 to $1.7 million at June 30, 2005. Overall, average total interest-earning assets for the six-month period ended June 30, 2005 were $537.8 million. The ratio of average interest-earning assets to average interest-bearing liabilities declined from 108.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2004 to 108.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2005.

 

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased by approximately $1.0 million, or 16.7%, to $7.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared to $6.0 million for the same period in 2004. The increase was attributable to an increase in short-term market interest rates and increased competition for deposits. The average cost of average interest-bearing deposits increased from 2.42% for the six months ended June 30, 2004 to 2.59% for the six months ended June 30, 2005. Over the same periods, the average balance of interest-bearing deposits increased $11.3 million, from $395.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 to $406.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, or 2.9%. Interest expense on subordinated debentures increased from $221,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 to $333,000 for the six months ended June 2005. This increase was the result of a sharp increase in the three-month LIBOR. In October 2004, the Company entered into a four-year interest rate swap in the amount of $10 million.

Table of Contents

The Company is paying 3.53% fixed and receiving the equivalent of the three-month LIBOR. For the six-month period ending June 30, 2005, the Company has recognized an expense of $36,000 related to the interest rate swap. The average cost of FHLB borrowings increased from 2.99% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2004 to 3.47% million for the six month period ended June 30, 2005.

 

Provision for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses based on management’s evaluation of the risk inherent in the loan portfolio and the general economy. Such evaluation considers numerous factors, including general economic conditions, loan portfolio composition, prior loss experience, the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral and other factors that warrant recognition in providing for an adequate loan loss allowance. The Bank determined that an additional $600,000 provision for loan losses was required for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004.

 

Non-Interest Income. There was an increase in non-interest income of approximately $800,000 for the six-month period ending June 30, 2005 as compared to the same period in 2004. This increase is the result of income on demand deposit accounts and gains on the sale of securities, primarily due to a $328,800 gain on the sale of stock in Intrieve, Inc., the Company’s data processor, to Harland Financial Services.

 

Gains on the sales of securities increased from $174,000 at June 30, 2004 to $363,000 at June 30, 2005. Service charge income increased approximately $265,000 from $835,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 to $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005.

 

Non-Interest Expenses. There was an increase in total non-interest expenses of approximately $700,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004. Operating expenses have increased due to staffing requirements. Other operating expenses have increased due to increased fees associated with staff and compliance associated with requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as increased professional and marketing expenses.

 

Income Taxes. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was 30.0%, compared to 33.1% for the same period in 2004.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three-Months Ended June 30, 2005 and 2004

 

Net Income. Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2005 was $1,065,000 compared to net income of $1,041,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2004. The increase in net income for the three months ended June 30, 2005 was the result of the gain on the sale of Intrieve Inc. stock mentioned above as well as increased fee income on deposit accounts.

 

Net Interest Income. Net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2004 was $3.4 million and $3.5 million, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2005, the average tax equivalent yield on total interest-earning assets was 5.21%, compared to 5.06% for the three months ended June 30, 2004, and the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities was 2.88% for the three months ended June 30, 2005, compared to 2.50% for the three months ended June 30, 2004. As a result, the interest rate spread for the three months ended June 30, 2005 was 2.34%, compared to 2.56% for the three months ended June 30, 2004, and the net yield on interest-earning assets was 2.56% for the three months ended June 30, 2005, compared to 2.76% for the three months ended June 30, 2004.

 

Interest Income. Interest income increased approximately $300,000 from $6.6 million to $6.9 million, or by 5.2%, during the three months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004. This increase was the result of an increase in both loans outstanding and loan portfolio yields. The average balance of taxable securities available for sale increased $2.3 million, from $127.5 million at June 30, 2004 to $129.8 million at June 30, 2005, while the average balance of tax-free securities available for sale decreased $10.0 million, from $28.8 million at June 30, 2004 to $18.8 million at June 30, 2005. Securities held to maturity decreased approximately $900,000, from $23.6 million at June 30, 2004 to $22.7 million at June 30, 2005. In addition, average time deposits and other interest-earning cash deposits declined approximately $600,000, from $1.7 million at June 30, 2004 to $1.1 million at June 30, 2005. The average balance of loans receivable at June 30, 2005 was $365.1 million, an increase of $17.0 million from the average balance at June 30, 2004. Average total interest-earning assets for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 were $537.4 million. The ratio of average interest-earning assets to average interest-bearing liabilities was 108.42% for the three-month period ended June 30, 2004 and 108.48% for the three-month period ending June 30, 2005.

 

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased approximately $500,000, or 16.7%, to $3.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to the same period in 2004. The increase was attributable to a higher cost of funding interest-bearing deposits, FHLB advances and subordinated debentures as well as higher balances of interest bearing deposits. The average cost of average interest-bearing deposits increased from 2.38% at June 30, 2004 to 2.65% at June 30, 2005. Over the same period, the average balance of deposits increased $16.0 million, from $424.1 million at June 30, 2004 to $440.1 million at June 30, 2005, or 3.8%. The average balance of advances from the FHLB was $78.0 million at June 30, 2005, compared to $82.4 million at June 30, 2004. The average cost of FHLB advances at June 30, 2005 was 3.58%, compared to 2.84% at June 30, 2004. The average cost of subordinated debentures at June 30, 2005 was 6.44%, compared to 4.31% at June 30, 2004. The Company incurred $11,000 of interest expense during the three-month period ending June 30, 2005 as a result of an interest rate swap related to the subordinated debenture.

Provision for Loan Losses. The Bank determined that an additional $300,000 provision for loan losses was required for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

 

Non-Interest Income. There was a $600,000 increase in non-interest income for the three-month period ending June 30, 2005 as compared to the same period in 2004. This increase was the result of gains on the sale of securities, loans held for sale and an increase in deposit fee income.

 

Non-Interest Expenses. There was an approximate $460,000 increase in total non-interest expenses in the three months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004, primarily due to increases in staffing, occupancy and advertising expenses.

 

Income Taxes. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2005 was 30.3%. The effective tax rate for the three-month period ending June 30, 2004 was 32.8%.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company has no business other than that of the Bank. Management believes that dividends that may be paid by the Bank to the Company will provide sufficient funds for its initial operations and liquidity needs. However, no assurance can be given that the Company will not have a need for additional funds in the future. The Bank is subject to certain regulatory limitations with respect to the payment of dividends to the Company. The primary regulators of the Bank and the Company are the Office of Thrift Supervision and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

 

The Bank’s principal sources of funds for operations are deposits from its primary market areas, principal and interest payments on loans, proceeds from maturing investment securities and the net conversion proceeds received by it. The principal uses of funds by the Bank include the origination of mortgage and consumer loans and the purchase of investment securities.

 

The Bank must satisfy three capital standards: a ratio of core capital to adjusted total assets of 4.0%, a tangible capital standard expressed as 1.5% of total adjusted assets, and a combination of core and “supplementary” capital equal to 8.0% of risk-weighted assets. At June 30, 2005, the Bank exceeded all regulatory capital requirements. The table below presents certain information relating to the Bank’s capital compliance at June 30, 2005.

At June 30, 2005, the Bank had outstanding commitments to originate loans totaling $8.8 million. Management believes that the Bank’s sources of funds are sufficient to fund all of its

Table of Contents

outstanding commitments. At June 30, 2005, time deposits which are scheduled to mature in one year or less from June 30, 2005 totaled $107.2 million. Management believes that a significant percentage of such deposits will remain with the Bank. At June 30, 2005, the Bank had noncancelable purchase obligations incurred in connection with the construction of a new retail location and operations center of approximately $4.5 million.

 

At June 30, 2005, the Company has outstanding borrowings of $75.0 million from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati with maturities ranging from three months to eight years. These borrowings are secured by a blanket security agreement pledging the Company’s 1-4 family first mortgage loans. At June 30, 2005, the Company has approximately $195 million in 1-4 family first mortgages that may be pledged under this agreement.

 

The Company engages in the activity of accepting large municipal deposits within its normal operating area. Kentucky law requires that financial institutions accepting municipal deposits in excess of FDIC insurance limits provide a pledge of acceptable collateral or surety bond. At June 30, 2005, the Company had approximately $100.1 million of its investment portfolio pledged to support deposits of approximately 75 municipal organizations in Kentucky and Tennessee.

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements. Additional written or oral forward-looking statements may be made by the Company from time to time in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission or otherwise. The words “believe,” “expect,” “seek,” and “intend” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date the statement is made. Such forward-looking statements are within the meaning of that term in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 

Such statements may include, but are not limited to, projections of income or loss, expenditures, acquisitions, plans for future operations, financing needs or plans relating to services of the Company, as well as assumptions relating to the foregoing. Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified. Future events and actual results could differ materially from those set forth in, contemplated by or underlying the forward-looking statements.

 

The Company does not undertake, and specifically disclaims, any obligation to publicly release the results of revisions, which may be made to forward-looking statements to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances after the date of such statements.

 

Effect of New Accounting Standards

 

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R), Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS No. 123(R)). SFAS No. 123(R) establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods and services. This Statement focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. SFAS No. 123(R) requires that the fair value of

 

15


Table of Contents

such equity instruments be recognized as an expense in the historical financial statements as services as performed. Prior to SFAS No. 123(R), only certain pro forma disclosures of fair value were reported. The provisions of this Statement are effective for the first fiscal year reporting period beginning after June 15, 2005. Accordingly, the Company will adopt SFAS No. 123(R) commencing with the quarter ending March 31, 2006.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

The Company monitors whether material changes in market risk have occurred since year-end. The Company is unable to predict future changes in market rates and their impact on the Company’s profitability. However, the Company models its statement of financial condition and income statement in an effort to manage its interest rate risk.

 

The Company’s analysis of interest rate risk assumes parallel shifts in interest rates (rates rising uniformly over the entire spectrum of the interest rate curve). At June 30, 2005, the Company’s analysis of the change in net interest income over the next twelve months resulting from changes in interest rates is as follows:

 

     Down 2%

    Down 1%

    Up 1%

   Up 2%

Net Interest Income

   $ (1,471 )   $ (252 )   $ 145    $ 785

 

Changes in net interest income may not be uniform during the twelve-month period due to the uneven nature of loan repricings and time deposit maturities.

 

During the first six months of 2005, short-term market interest rates increased significantly while longer-term rates (identified by the five and ten year treasury bills) have declined, resulting in a continued flattening of the yield curve. As a result, the Company has experienced a substantial shift in customer demand for fixed rate first mortgages sold on the secondary market and away from adjustable rate 1-4 family mortgages. Given the current yield curve, long term fixed rate mortgages are substantially less expensive than the Company’s current adjustable rate loan offerings.

 

In the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2005, the Company’s interest margin and net interest income have declined. In the last year, short-term interest rates have increased by more than 200 basis points, while medium and long-term rates have remained flat. In the next six months, the Company has approximately $60 million in adjustable rate loans scheduled to reprice. The weighted average rate on these loans is 5.13%, and the fully indexed rate currently is 6.625%. However, the vast majority of the Company’s loans have a 1% annual cap that will limit upward adjustments. Given the periodic timing and caps on these adjustments, any improvement in the Company’s net interest margin may be slow and dependent on future interest rate trends. Based on current results, the Company anticipates that its net interest margin will remain low and may continue to decline for as long as the yield curve continues to flatten.

 

The Company’s goal is for the Bank’s net interest expense to increase at a rate much slower than that of its peer group and competitors in a rising interest rate environment due to a decreasing reliance on time deposits. At this time, the Company remains highly dependent on time deposits for funding. To significantly reduce its cost of funds, the Company must increase

 

16


Table of Contents

its percentage of non-interest bearing deposits to total deposits, currently at 8%. The Company’s intermediate goal of non-interest bearing deposits to total deposits is 12% with a long-term goal of 17.50%. To increase its non-interest deposit balances, the Company is investing in new products, locations, and automated teller machines. However, non-interest bearing deposit growth completed without the assistance of an acquisition is slow, may take several years and may never reach the goals set forth by management.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.

 

In accordance with Rule 13a-15(b) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), an evaluation was carried out with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the quarter ended June 30, 2005. Based upon their evaluation of these disclosure controls and procedures, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the three months ended June 30, 2005 to ensure that material information relating to the Company, including its consolidated subsidiaries, was made known to them by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which this quarterly report on Form 10-Q was being prepared.

 

Any control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance that its objectives are achieved. The design of a control system inherently has limitations, including the controls cost relative to their benefits. Additionally, controls can be circumvented. No cost-effective control system can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud will be detected.

 

Effective in 2006, the Company will become subject to Section 404 of The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Section 404 requires management to assess and report on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting. Additionally, it requires the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm to report on management’s assessment as well as report on its own assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting. Management is currently establishing policies and procedures to assess and report on internal controls, and has retained an outside firm to assist it in determining the effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

 

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the Company’s fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2005 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
