SERVICE BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

 

(1) Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the stock savings accounts of Service Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Strata Bank (the “Bank”), a Massachusetts chartered savings bank, and the Bank’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, Medway Securities Corporation and Franklin Village Security Corporation, both of which engage solely in the purchase and sale of securities. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

These unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the instructions for Form 10-QSB 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 only of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted. A summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Company is set forth in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2002.

 

(2) Earnings per Share

 

Basic earnings per share represents income available to common stockholders divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects additional common shares (common stock equivalents) that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential shares had been issued, as well as any adjustment to income that would result from the assumed issuance. Potential common shares that may be issued by the Company relate to outstanding stock options and unvested stock granted under the Recognition and Retention Plan (“RRP”) and are determined using the treasury stock method. Assumed conversion of the outstanding dilutive stock options and unvested RRP stock would increase the shares outstanding, but would not require an adjustment to income as a result of the conversion.

 

(3) Commitments

 

At December 31, 2002, the Company had outstanding commitments to originate loans of $8.3 million. Unused lines of credit and open commitments available to customers at December 31, 2002 amounted to $28.4 million, of which $11.0 million were home equity lines of credit.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation

 

General

 

This quarterly report on Form 10-QSB contains forward-looking statements. For this purpose, any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the foregoing, the words “believe”, “anticipates”, “plans”, “expects” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. There are a number of important factors that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements. These important factors include, without limitation, the Bank’s continued ability to originate quality loans, fluctuation in interest rates, real estate conditions in the Bank’s lending areas, changes in the securities or financial markets, changes in loan defaults and charge-off rates, general and local economic conditions, the Bank’s continued ability to attract and retain deposits, the Company’s ability to control costs, new accounting pronouncements, and changing regulatory requirements. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions to those forward-looking statements which may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

 

Comparison of Financial Condition at December 31, 2002 and June 30, 2002

 

Total assets were $283.0 million at December 31, 2002, an increase of $5.9 million, or 2.1%, from $277.1 million at June 30, 2002. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase of $19.5 million, or 12.9%, in net loans since June 30, 2002. This increase was partially offset by a $12.4 million, or 13.5%, decrease in investment securities. In addition to the reduction in investment securities, funding for the growth in loans was also provided by a $6.1 million, or 2.8%, increase in deposits since June 30, 2002.

 

Total investment securities were $79.3 million at December 31, 2002, a decrease of $12.4 million since June 30, 2002 due mostly to amortization on mortgage-backed securities and calls on federal agency securities exceeding new purchases. Investment securities have been a less attractive investment due to the current low interest rate environment and its effect on securities yield. The Company’s continued objective is to prudently increase its loan portfolio, primarily in residential and commercial loans. For the six-month period ended December 31, 2002, the Strata Mortgage Center, with its affiliation with Marathon Mortgage Company, originated $25.2 million in residential loans. In addition, the Bank purchased $9.9 million of residential loans directly from Marathon Mortgage Company over the same timeframe. With this activity, the Bank’s residential mortgages had a net increase of $14.2 million, or 17.0%, since June 30, 2002. Net deferred loan costs and premiums also increased since June 30, 2002 by $210,000, largely due to costs associated with residential loan originations and purchases through Marathon Mortgage Company. The Bank originated $21.2 million in commercial, commercial real estate and construction loans for the six-month period ended December 31, 2002, which is a $7.1 million volume increase over the six-month period ending December 31, 2001. After loan paydowns, the total commercial and commercial real estate loan portfolios increased by $4.1 million, or 7.4%, since June 30, 2002. In addition to these loan originations, the Bank frequently receives commercial checking and money market deposits from new commercial customers. Since June 30, 2002, total commercial deposits have increased by $2.3 million, or 8.9%, and as of December 31, 2002 represented 12.3% of total deposits.

 

As of December 31, 2002, the Bank had $14.7 million invested in overnight funds, representing 5.2% of total assets, which is a reduction of $905,000 since June 30, 2002. This level of overnight funds is maintained for liquidity purposes, particularly at end of month periods due to the volatility in certain of the Bank’s deposits and for periods with increased levels of certificates of deposit maturities. In addition, excess funds are expected to be utilized to fund the origination of new loans.

 

The increase of $6.1 million in deposits since June 30, 2002 was primarily attributable to increases of $1.1 million, or 1.1%, in term certificates, $1.4 million, or 4.4%, in NOW deposits, and $1.4 million, or 5.0%, in demand deposits, $1.2 million, or 2.9% in regular and other savings, and $1.1 million, or 5.1% in money market deposits. Certificates with maturity terms of 18 months and longer increased $1.8 million between June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2002, and as of December 31, 2002 represented 56.6% of the Bank’s total term certificates.

Stockholders’ equity increased from $20.4 million, or 7.4% of total assets at June 30, 2002 to $22.0 million, or 7.8% of total assets at December 31, 2002. The increase in stockholders’ equity resulted primarily from the Company’s retained earnings and the increase in accumulated other comprehensive income related to unrealized gains on securities available for sale since the beginning of the fiscal year.

For the six months ended December 31, 2002, the Bank’s provision for loan losses was $270,000 compared with $135,000 for the same period last year. The increase is consistent with the growth in loans including the commercial loan portfolios, which generally present a greater risk of loss than residential loans. In addition, this quarter the Company after considering current economic conditions and risk factors in its loan portfolio, increased the percentage of allowance for loan losses required to be allocated to certain categories of loans. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans was .88% at December 31, 2002, compared with .83% at June 30, 2002. During the six months ended December 31, 2002, recoveries from previously charged-off loans of $23,000 were received and $33,000 was charged-off.

 

While management believes that, based on information currently available, the allowance for loan losses is sufficient to cover losses in the Bank’s loan portfolio at this time, no assurances can be given that the level of the allowance will be sufficient to cover loan losses or that future adjustments to the allowance will not be necessary if economic and/or other conditions differ substantially from the economic and other conditions considered by management in evaluating the adequacy of the current level of the allowance.

 

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three and Six Months Ended December 31, 2002 and 2001

 

General

 

Operating results are primarily dependent on the Bank’s net interest income, which is the difference between the interest earned on the Bank’s earning assets (short-term investments, loans, and securities) and the interest paid on deposits and borrowings. Operating results are also affected by provisions for loan losses, the level of income from non-interest sources such as fees and sales of securities and other assets, operating expenses and income taxes.

 

-10-


Table of Contents

 

Operating results are also significantly affected by general economic conditions, particularly changes in interest rates, as well as government policies and actions of regulatory authorities.

 

Net income for the three months ended December 31, 2002 was $319,000 compared with $387,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2001, a decrease of $68,000. Net income for the six months ended December 31, 2002 was $730,000 compared with $696,000 for the same period last year, an increase of $34,000, or 4.9%. This year’s results included net losses on securities of $38,000 and $26,000 for the three and six month periods, respectively compared with gains on securities of $228,000 and $280,000, respectively, for the same periods last year. The three and six month periods ended December 31, 2002 also included loan loss provisions of $150,000 and $270,000, respectively, compared with $75,000 and $135,000, respectively, last year. Partially offsetting these decreases to income was higher net interest income of $111,000, or 5.1% for the three-month period and $455,000, or 10.8%, for the six months ended December 31, 2002. Noninterest expenses were lower by $112,000 and $11,000 for the three and six-month periods, respectively, compared to the same periods last year which included $150,000 in charges related to the cancellation of a lease. Earnings per share data for the three months ended December 31, 2002 were $0.20 per share (basic and diluted) compared with $0.24 per share (basic and diluted) for the three months ended December 31, 2001. Earnings per share for the six months ended December 31, 2002 were $0.46 per share (basic) and $0.45 per share (diluted), compared with $0.44 per share (basic) and $0.43 per share (diluted) for the same six-month period last year.

 

Interest and Dividend Income

 

Total interest and dividend income for the three months ended December 31, 2002 was $3.9 million, $157,000 less than the same quarter a year ago. Total interest and dividend income for the six months ended December 31, 2002 was $8.0 million, $147,000 less than the same six-month period a year ago. The effect of a reduction in yield on earning assets of 73 basis points this quarter to 5.91% compared to the same quarter a year ago, was only partially offset by an increase in average earning assets this quarter of $19.6 million. Yield on earning assets for the six months ended December 31, 2002 decreased 76 basis points to 6.10% compared to last year while average earning assets increased $24.2 million. Average net loans for the quarter increased $37.8 million, or 28.8%, while total loan yield decreased by 120 basis points to 6.39%. Average net loans for the first six months of this year increased $33.3 million, or 25.9%, while total loan yield decreased by 108 basis points to 6.69%. This year’s lower rate environment reduced the index rates used to set interest rates for loan repricing and for new loans which resulted in a lower loan yield between periods. Contributing to the amount of new loan volume priced at this year’s lower rates was an increase level of residential loan refinance activity in the Bank’s existing portfolio.

 

Average short-term investments this quarter decreased $3.4 million, or 24.5%, and experienced a reduction in yield of 93 basis points to 1.43%. Average short-term investments for the first six months of this year decreased $4.7 million, or 32.5%, and experienced a sharp reduction in yield of 136 basis points to 1.58%. Yields on the securities portfolio were also lower and declined by 49 and 68 basis points for the three and six month periods, respectively, to 5.49% and 5.52%, respectively, this year. Certain investments within the Bank’s securities portfolio that matured, were sold or called, were reinvested in lower yielding investments. The average securities portfolio balance decreased $14.8 million and $4.4 million for the three and six month periods, respectively, compared with the same periods last year.

 

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense on deposits decreased $251,000, or 17.8%, from $1.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2001, to $1.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2002. Interest expense on deposits decreased $595,000, or 20.2%, from $2.9 million for the six months ended December 31, 2001, to $2.3 million for the six months ended December 31, 2002. These decreases were primarily attributable to an 80 and 96 basis point reduction in cost of deposits for the three and six month period, respectively, and to increases of $14.1 million and $15.1 million, respectively, in average lower-priced non-certificate deposit balances compared to last year. Over these same timeframes, the higher-priced term certificate balances increased by $3.6 million and $5.2 million, respectively.

 

The average balance of FHLB borrowings was $33.6 million during the three months ended December 31, 2002, a decrease of $1.0 million, or 2.6% from the three months ended December 31, 2001. The average balance of FHLB

borrowings was $34.3 million during the six months ended December 31, 2002, an increase of $679,000, or 2.0% from the six months ended December 31, 2001. Over the past year the Bank’s deposit growth and reduction in investments has provided most of the funding for the growth in loans, as opposed to additional borrowings. The cost of average borrowings decreased from 5.48% to 5.42% in the quarterly comparison and decreased from 5.55% to 5.35% in the six-month comparison.

 

Net Interest Income

 

Net interest income for the three months ended December 31, 2002 increased $111,000, or 5.1%, over the same period last year. Net interest income for the six months ended December 31, 2002 increased $455,000, or 10.8%, over the same period last year. The increases were mostly due to an increase in average earning assets of $19.6 million and $24.2 million for the three and six month periods, respectively, over the same periods last year. The Bank’s interest rate spread (the difference between yields earned on earning assets and rates paid on deposits and borrowings) was level at 3.10% in the quarterly comparison and slightly higher at 3.23% in the six-month comparison to last year. The Bank’s reductions in rates offered on new and maturing certificates of deposit and reduced rates on savings and money market products were successful in keeping pace with the decrease in yield on earning assets. The net interest margin (net interest income divided by average earning assets) decreased from 3.56% to 3.46% for the quarter ended December 31, 2002 and increased from 3.58% to 3.60% for the six months ended December 31, 2002 over the same time periods last year.

 

While core-based deposit growth will be emphasized, the Bank may have to rely more on higher-cost retail certificates rather than lower-cost core deposits, or rely on borrowings from the FHLB for future funding requirements. A decrease in market interest rates and continued competition from other financial institutions together with the aforementioned growth in retail certificates could cause future tightening in the interest rate spread.

Noninterest Income

 

Total noninterest income decreased $273,000 from $584,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2001 to $311,000 for the same period in 2002. For the six months ended December 31, 2002 total noninterest income decreased $312,000 from $975,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2001 to $663,000 this year. The decreases were principally due to net losses on securities of $38,000 and $26,000 for the three and six month periods, respectively, due to impairment write-downs on certain equity securities this year, compared with net gains from sales of securities of $228,000 and $280,000, respectively, last year. The Company reviews its available for sale investment securities with unrealized depreciation to assess whether a decline in fair value is temporary or other-than-temporary. The Company judges whether the decline in value is from company-specific events, industry developments, general

economic conditions or other reasons. Once the estimated reasons for the decline are identified, further judgments are required as to whether those conditions are likely to reverse and, if so, whether that reversal is likely to result in a recovery of the fair value of the investment in the near term. As part of the Company’s quarterly review of the investment securities portfolio, it was determined that the decline in the fair value of certain equity investment securities was other-than-temporary and required impairment write-downs.

 

Noninterest Expense

 

Total noninterest expense decreased $112,000, or 5.4%, from $2.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2001 to $2.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2002. For the six months ended December 31, 2002, total noninterest expense decreased $11,000 from the same period last year. The 2001 three and six month periods included $150,000 in charges related to the cancellation of a property lease. Excluding these charges, noninterest expense increased only $38,000, or 2.0%, over the same quarter last year and increased $139,000, or 3.6%, over the same six month period last year. Salary and benefits increased $52,000, or 5.3%, and $126,000, or 6.5%, for the quarter and first six months of this year compared with last year as the result of the growth in operations and enhancements in the employee benefit plans as well as increases in benefit costs such as health insurance. Occupancy and equipment expenses decreased $48,000, or 11.8%, and $67,000, or 8.4%, respectively, due mostly to lower depreciation expense on fixed assets. The decrease in depreciation was the result of older capital assets reaching their depreciation lives and the Company’s recent successful efforts in limiting fixed asset expenditures. Data processing fees increased $9,000, or 5.6%, and $21,000, or 6.5%, for the three and six month periods, respectively, consistent with the growth in business. Professional fees decreased $58,000 this quarter and $72,000 from the first six months of last year, which included $40,000 of the aforementioned lease cancellation charge. Advertising expense increased $10,000 over the same three-month period last year while the increase was $36,000 for the six-month period. The decrease in other operating expense in both period comparisons was the result of $110,000 in charges last year for the aforementioned lease cancellation. The operating efficiency ratio for the three months ended December 31, 2002, excluding gains and losses on securities, was 75.2%, which was a reduction from 82.7% for the three months ended December 31, 2001. The operating efficiency ratio for the six months ended December 31, 2002, excluding gains and losses on securities, was 74.3%, compared with 81.2% for the six months ended December 31, 2001.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income tax expense decreased by $57,000, or 28.1%, for three months ended December 31, 2002 due mostly to this year’s lower level of pre-tax income. The effective income tax rates were 31.3% and 34.4% for the three months ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, and 32.8% and 34.8% for the six months ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The effective tax rates are below the statutory combined state and federal income tax rates because the Bank’s two security corporations take advantage of the lower state tax rate afforded to these types of entities and additional tax preference items that are nontaxable.

 

Asset/Liability Management

 

A principal operating objective of the Bank is to produce stable earnings by achieving a favorable interest rate spread that can be sustained during fluctuations in prevailing interest rates. Since the Bank’s principal interest-earning assets generally have longer terms to maturity than its primary source of funds, i.e., deposit liabilities, increases in general interest rates will generally result in an increase in the Bank’s cost of funds before the yield on its asset portfolio adjusts upward. Financial institutions have generally sought to reduce their exposure to adverse changes in interest rates by attempting to achieve a closer match between the repricing periods of interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities. Such matching, however, is carefully monitored so as not to sacrifice net interest margin performance for the perfect matching of these interest rate sensitive instruments. The Bank has established an Asset/Liability Management Committee (“ALCO”) made up of the chief executive officer, the chief financial officer, the senior loan officer, the senior vice president of bank administration and others to assess the asset/liability mix and recommend strategies that will enhance income while managing the Bank’s vulnerability to changes in interest rate. This committee meets regularly to discuss interest rate conditions and potential product lines that would enhance the Bank’s income performance.

Certain strategies have been implemented to improve the match between interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities. These strategies include, but are not limited to: daily monitoring of the Bank’s cash requirements, originating adjustable and fixed rate mortgage loans, both residential and commercial, for the Bank’s own portfolio, managing the cost and structure of deposits, and generally using the matched borrowings to fund specific purchases of loan packages and large loan originations. Occasionally, management may choose to deviate from specific matching of maturities of assets and liabilities if an attractive opportunity to enhance yield becomes available.

 

Quarterly, ALCO modeling is performed with the assistance of an outside advisor which projects the Bank’s financial performance over the next twenty four months using loan and deposit projections, projections of changes in interest rates, and anticipated changes in other income and operating expenses to reveal the full impact of the Bank’s operating strategies on financial performance. The results of the ALCO process are reported to the Board at least on a quarterly basis.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Bank’s primary sources of funds consist of deposits, borrowings, repayment and prepayment of loans, sales of loans and securities, maturities and early calls of securities, and funds provided from operations. While scheduled repayments of loans and maturities of securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by the general level of interest rates, economic conditions, and competition. The Bank uses its liquidity resources primarily to fund existing and future loan commitments, to fund net deposit outflows, to invest in other interest-earning assets, to maintain liquidity, and to pay operating expenses.

 

From time to time, the Bank utilizes advances from the FHLB primarily in connection with its management of the interest rate sensitivity of its assets and liabilities. Total advances outstanding at December 31, 2002 amounted to $33.5 million. The Bank’s ability to borrow from the FHLB is dependent upon the amount and type of collateral the Bank has to secure the loans. Such collateral consists of, but is not limited to, one-to-four family owner-occupied residential property. As of December 31, 2002, the Bank’s total borrowing capacity through the Federal Home Loan Bank was $72.4 million. The Bank has additional capacity to borrow through such instruments as repurchase agreements if the situation arises utilizing federal agency obligations and mortgage-backed securities as collateral.

 

A major portion of the Bank’s liquidity consists of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, U.S. Government and federal agency obligations, mortgage-backed securities, and other debt securities. The level of these assets is dependent upon the Bank’s operating, lending, and financing activities during any given period.

 

At December 31, 2002, the Bank had $8.3 million of outstanding commitments to originate loans and unused lines of credit and open commitments available to customers totaling $28.4 million. The Bank anticipates that it will have sufficient funds available to meet these commitments. Certificates of deposit, which are scheduled to mature in one year or less, totaled $84.6 million at December 31, 2002. Based upon historical experience, management believes that a significant portion of such deposits will remain with the Bank.

 

At December 31, 2002, the Company and the Bank exceeded all regulatory capital requirements.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In October 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 147, “Acquisitions of Certain Financial Institutions.” This Statement amends SFAS No. 72, SFAS No. 144 and FASB Interpretation No. 9, and SFAS No. 147 and provides guidance on the application of the purchase method to acquisitions of financial institutions and includes guidance on the recognition and measurement of intangible assets associated with such acquisitions. This Statement is generally effective for acquisitions occurring on or after October 1, 2002. This Statement did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
