NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND MANAGEMENT REPRESENTATIONS The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and, therefore, do not include all footnotes normally required for complete financial disclosure. While the Company believes that the disclosures presented are sufficient to make the information not misleading, reference may be made to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's 1999 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. The accompanying consolidated statements of financial condition and the related consolidated statements of operations and cash flows reflect, in the opinion of management, all material adjustments necessary for fair presentation of the Company's financial position as of September 30, 2000 and December 31, 1999, results of operations and changes in cash flows for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2000 and 1999. The results of operations for the three-month period and nine-month period ended September 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of what the results of operations will be for the full year ending December 31, 2000. (2) EARNINGS PER SHARE (EPS) Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity. Accordingly, the basic weighted average number of shares used to compute the net income per share were 3,837,954 and 3,827,091 respectively for the three-month period ended September 30, 2000 and September 30, 1999 and 3,836,110 and 3,825,880 for the nine-month period ending September 30, 2000 and September 30, 1999. There was no dilution to change the basic average number of shares in any period shown. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS The following discussion is intended to provide additional information about Marathon Bancorp (the Company), its financial condition and results of operations, which is not otherwise apparent from the consolidated financial statements. Since Marathon National Bank (the Bank) represents a substantial portion of the Company's activities and investments, the following relates primarily to the financial condition and operations of the Bank. It should be read in conjunction with the Company's 1999 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS OVERVIEW The Company posted third quarter 2000 earnings of $296,000. This is a 66% increase over the $178,000 earned in the third quarter of 1999. The basic and diluted per share earnings were $.08 for 2000 versus $0.05 per share for the same period in 1999. The nine-month earnings were $659,000, up 100% over the $330,000 reported for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. The basic and diluted per share earnings were $0.17 versus $0.09 per share for the same period in 1999. Return on average assets increased to 1.33% for the third quarter and 1.00% for the nine-month period. Return of average equity was 12.13% for the quarter and 9.32% for the nine months. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Net Interest Income Net interest income continued to improve during the third quarter of 2000. With short-term rates stabilizing, the bank's net interest margin has improved to an average 5.95% for the third quarter of 2000 versus 5.29% in the third quarter of 1999. The Company is asset sensitive and does improve its' margins as rates rise and conversely margins decrease in a falling rate environment. The margin for the first nine months of 2000 was 5.49% versus 5.16% for the first nine months of 1999. Interest Income for the third quarter of 2000 increased $455,000 or 35% and $1,229,000, up 33% for the first nine months. Interest and fees on loans increased 34% for the quarter and nine months due to both an increase in overall yields as well as, growth in the loan portfolio. Investment income increased 39% for the quarter and 29% for the nine-month period where the growth in the investment portfolio was small but reinvestments were done at higher yields. Other interest income, which is mainly interest on fed funds sold, grew 33% for the third quarter and 36% for the nine-month period. Interest expense increased $191,000 or 54% for the third quarter and $537,000 or 52% for the first nine months of 2000. This is the opposite of what happened in 1999 where interest costs for the third quarter decreased 7% or $28,000 and for the nine-month period were only $2,000 less. The reason the large percentage increase in interest costs did not offset the income change is due to the fact that 39% of deposits are noninterest bearing. Noninterest Income Noninterest income increased 6% for the nine-months ended September 30, 2000. The service charges and other income showed a decrease due to the fact that there was a one-time recovery of service charges and fees in the amount of $70,000 received in the third quarter of 1999. This was also reflected in the third quarter noninterest income results. The dividends earned on the cash surrender value of life insurance increased $34,000 in the third quarter. These earnings also increased $89,000 for the nine-month period due to a larger investment in this asset. Noninterest Expense Noninterest expenses increased for the quarter ended September 30, 2000 by 10% or $91,000. Increased human resource costs and occupancy expenses were higher than the third quarter of 2000 due to the opening of our loan production office (LPO) during the fourth quarter of 1999. The Company is considering turning the LPO into a full service branch office in the third quarter of 2001 and opening an additional LPO in the latter part of 2001. Decreases were made in the equipment costs professional services fees, supplies and other expenses. New commercial checking relationships caused the increase in customer related expenses due to courier costs and check printing charges. For the nine-month period noninterest costs increased 11% compared to 1999. The largest factor is the additional staffing and overhead costs of the LPO for the full nine months of 2000. Human resource costs also include the addition of a lending officer in the second quarter of 2000. Data processing costs increased in the item processing area. Although insurance costs remained constant OCC and FDIC regulatory assets based on the size of the bank increased. Provision for Credit Losses: Loans classified by the Bank as substandard or doubtful decreased from $2,318,000 at December 31, 1999 to $1,187,000 at September 30, 2000. There were no nonperforming loans, which consist of loans past due over 90 days and accruing plus loans on nonaccural, at September 30, 2000 compared to $3,000 at December 31, 1999. The Company continues to have no other real estate owned. During the third quarter, the Bank recorded no charge-offs while collecting recoveries on loans charged off of $165,000. The net change to the reserve for credit losses was $34,000. For the nine-month period ending September 30, 2000 recorded charge-offs were $36,000 and recoveries totaled $209,000. After an assessment of the loan portfolio and economic conditions, the management felt that an increase in the reserve for credit losses was prudent and therefore made a provision to the credit loss reserve of $30,000 for the quarter bringing the year-to-date provision to $90,000 compared to no provision in 1999. Based on the foregoing information, its internal migration analysis and current economic conditions management determined that the current level of the reserve for credit losses to be adequate at September 30, 2000. ASSETS AND LIABILITIES The company has had steady asset growth, increasing $6,628,000 or 11% over December 1999 and 12% above September 1999. The majority of the growth has been in the loan portfolio, which has increased $4,510,000 or 9% since year-end. The loan growth continues to be in the commercial and industrial loan portfolio as well as construction loans. Deposits increased $5,829,000 or 8% since the end of 1999. The deposit growth was split with 39% in noninterest-bearing deposits and 61% in interest-bearing deposits. The increase in interest-bearing deposits was in our investors money market product with relatively no change in our time certificate of deposit portfolio. With the mix of noninterest-bearing deposits included in the overall deposit growth it contributed to temper the increase in interest costs. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL Asset/Liability Management The Company's Asset/Liability Committee is responsible for managing the risks associated with changing interest rates and their impact on earnings, as well as, the liquidity needs of the Company. Management continually monitors liquidity in relation to current and anticipated levels of loans and deposits, and relates the data to short and long term expectations. In order to serve customers effectively, funds need to be available to meet their credit needs as well as their withdrawals of deposited funds. Assets that are normally considered liquid are federal funds sold, available for sale investment securities, cash and due from banks, and securities purchased under agreements to resell. The ratio of liquid assets to deposits was 16% at September 30, 2000 and the loan to deposit ratio was 71% increased from the first and second quarter. The Bank's liquidity declined slightly at quarter-end and the bank took an advance from the Federal Home Loan Bank that was repaid in October with matured securities and increased deposits. Interest rate risk management focuses on the maturity and repricing of interest earning assets in relationship to the interest bearing liabilities that fund them. Net interest income can be vulnerable to fluctuations arising from a change in the general level of interest rates to the extent that the average yield on earning assets responds differently to such a change than does the average cost of funds. The Company measures interest rate sensitivity by distributing the maturities and repricing periods of assets and supporting funding liabilities into interest sensitivity periods, summarizing interest rate risk in terms of the resulting interest sensitivity gaps. A positive gap indicates that more interest sensitive assets than interest sensitive liabilities will be repriced during a specified period, while a negative gap indicates the opposite condition. It is the Bank's policy to maintain an adequate balance of rate sensitive assets to rate sensitive liabilities. Due to the fact that the Bank has a large portfolio of noninterest bearing demand deposits the Company has historically been asset sensitive with a positive gap. The Company's asset sensitivity has been decreased during the last twelve-month period by increasing the investment portfolio and lengthening the maturities. The Company's cumulative gap as a percent of total assets at September 30, 2000 was 24% down from the 31% reported at September 30, 1999. Capital Shareholders' equity increased by $732,000 during the first nine month's of 2000. The exercise of stock options during the period increased common shares by 8,000 and raised $21,000. The Bank is required to meet certain minimum risk-based capital guidelines and leverage ratios promulgated by the bank regulatory authorities. The risk based capital standards establish capital requirements that are more sensitive to risk differences between various assets, consider off balance sheet activities in assessing capital adequacy, and minimize the disincentives to holding liquid, low risk assets. The leverage ratio consists of tangible Tier 1 capital divided by average total assets. The adequately capitalized risk-based capital ratio required by the federal regulators is 8.0 percent and the well-capitalized ratio is 10.0 percent. The Tier I capital to average assets (leverage ratio) required by the federal regulators for adequately capitalized is 4.0 percent and 6.0 percent is required to be well-capitalized. At September 30, 2000 the Company and the Bank had a risk based capital ratio of 14.3 percent, and a Tier 1 capital leverage ratio of 11.1 percent. PART II. OTHER INFORMATION Item 1.
