NOTE E – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 159 the Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an Amendment of FASB 115. FASB No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure certain financial instruments at fair value. It was developed to improve financial reporting by reducing the volatility pertaining to the measurement of assets and liabilities without having to apply complex hedge accounting guidance. This statement is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement, which is consistent with FASB’s long-term measurement objectives for accounting for financial instruments. This statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of the fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provisions of FAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. The Company is evaluating the effects of this statement on its financial statements and has not elected to adopt early.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 contains safe harbor provisions regarding forward-looking statements. When used in this discussion, the words “believes”, “anticipates”, “contemplates”, “expects”, and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties which include changes in interest rates, risks associated with the effect of opening new branches, the ability to control costs and expenses, and general economic conditions. IBT Bancorp, Inc. undertakes no obligation to update those forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

 

GENERAL

 

IBT Bancorp, Inc. is a bank holding company headquartered in Irwin, Pennsylvania, which provides a full range of commercial and retail banking services through its wholly owned banking subsidiary, Irwin Bank (collectively, the “Company”). In the fall of 2006, the Company began a branding and market research initiative. As a result of this on-going endeavor, in February 2007, the Company developed a new logo for its banking subsidiary and shortened its name to “Irwin Bank”. The Company’s stock is traded on the American Stock Exchange under the symbol IRW. All historical per share amounts have been restated for the 100% stock dividend paid on November 16, 2006.

 

FINANCIAL CONDITION

 

At September 30, 2007 total assets increased $32.8 million to $773.8 million from $741.0 million at December 31, 2006. The asset growth was primarily due to increases in securities available for sale of $17.5 million and in net loans of $13.0 million.

 

At September 30, 2007, securities available for sale increased $17.5 million to $238.7 million from $221.2 million at December 31, 2006. This change was primarily due to increases in U.S. government agencies of $8.8 million and mortgage-backed securities of $10.1 million offset by net a decrease of $1.4 million in obligations of state and political sub-divisions. The Company evaluates the available-for-sale investment portfolio on an on-going basis to maximize yield, within board-approved risk thresholds, making purchasing and selling decisions accordingly.

 

Net loans at September 30, 2007 reached $480.7 million, a $13.0 million increase over the reported total of $467.7 million at December 31, 2006. Loan growth was concentrated in real estate secured mortgage and commercial loans, which increased $11.2 million and consumer installment loans, which increased $1.6 million. These increases were partially offset by decreases in consumer lines of credit and municipal loans of $1.2 million and $1.8 million, respectively. In June 2007, approximately $3.0 million in real estate secured commercial mortgages, previously included in non-performing accruing loans contractually past due 90 days or more, were transferred to non accrual status. The Company believes that these loans are sufficiently collateralized and does not anticipate any future losses.

At September 30, 2007, total liabilities increased $32.5 million to $710.9 million from $678.4 million at December 31, 2006. The changes in total liabilities were primarily due to increases in total deposits and repurchase agreements of $8.0 million and $30.4 million, respectively, offset by a $5.6 million decrease in FHLB advances.

 

Repurchase agreements increased $30.4 million to $57.8 million at September 30, 2007, from $27.4 million at December 31, 2006 as a result of an increase in customers with sweep arrangements as well as existing customers maintaining higher balances. The Company offers its corporate customers sweep accounts where unused deposit balances are swept into an overnight repurchase agreement yielding market rates.

 

FHLB advance totals dropped $5.6 million to $66.8 million at September 30, 2007, from $72.4 million at December 31, 2006. The decrease is due to the contractual maturity of $10.0 million in advances and principal payments on amortizing advances of $1.2 million. These decreases were offset by an increase of $5.6 million in the Company’s open line of credit, which is primarily used to meet daily liquidity needs.

 

Non-interest bearing deposit accounts decreased $1.3 million to $84.3 million at September 30, 2007, from $85.6 million at December 31, 2006. This change is attributed to normal fluctuations, which arise due to the timing of month-end pension and social security deposits.

 

Interest-bearing deposits increased $9.3 million to $496.2 million at September 30, 2007, from $486.9 million at December 31, 2006. The change was primarily due to increases in certificates of deposits and money market accounts of $9.0 million and $5.8 million, respectively. Offsetting the increases were decreases in savings and interest-bearing checking accounts of $3.6 million and $1.9 million, respectively. The competitive market rates paid on the certificate of deposit and money market accounts have contributed to the growth in these accounts.

 

At September 30, 2007, total stockholders’ equity increased $304,000 to $62.9 million from $62.6 million at December 31, 2006. The change was primarily due to net income of $6.0 million partially offset by an increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss (net of deferred income taxes) of $701,000, dividends paid of $4.4 million, and treasury stock purchased of $566,000. Accumulated other comprehensive loss increased as a result of changes in the net unrealized gains/losses on securities available for sale. Because of the effect of interest rate volatility on unrealized gains/losses on securities available for sale, the Company’s accumulated other comprehensive income could materially fluctuate for each interim period and year-end. See Note D to the consolidated financial statements.

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Net income. Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2007 decreased $131,000 to $2,020,000, or $.34 diluted earnings per share from $2,151,000, or $.36 diluted earnings per share, for the comparable three-month period in 2006. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 decreased $696,000 to $5,951,000 or $1.01 diluted earnings per share from $6,647,000, or $1.12 diluted earnings per share, for the comparable nine month period in 2006. The decrease for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 was primarily the result of a decrease in other income due mainly to a decrease in investment security gains, and an increase in other expense, which offset an improvement in net interest income.

Net interest income. Net interest income increased $91,000 to $5,596,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2007 compared to $5,505,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2006. Interest income increased 8.9% over the comparable 2006 quarter but was substantially offset by an increase in interest expense of 17.2%. This was due to rates paid for deposits increasing at a faster rate than rates charged for loans. As a result, the Company’s net interest spread tightened to 2.56% from 2.71% in the prior year period and its net interest margin narrowed to 3.11% from 3.24%. Net interest income increased $193,000 to $16,585,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 compared to $16,392,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. Despite the net interest income increase, the net interest spread narrowed to 2.56% from 2.76% for the comparable period in 2006 and the net interest margin tightened to 3.12% from 3.27%. The compression of the spread and margin reflect the current relatively flat yield curve environment in which short-term rates (off which we price our deposits) are the same as or slightly lower than long-term rates (off which we price our loans.)

 

Interest income. Interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2007 increased $924,000 to $11,283,000 from $10,359,000 for the comparable three-month period in 2006. The average balance of interest earning assets increased $39.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007, to $718.6 million from $678.9 million for the comparable period in 2006. The yield on these assets increased 18 basis points to 6.28%, for the three months ended September 30, 2007 from 6.10% for the comparable period in 2006. Interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 increased $3,230,000 to $32,879,000 from $29,649,000 for the comparable nine month period in 2006. This change was supported by a $40.2 million increase in the average balance of interest earning assets and a 27 basis point increase in the yield, which reached 6.19% from 5.92% for the comparable period in 2006. See “Average Balance Sheet and Rate/Volume Analysis”.

 

Interest expense. Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2007 increased $834,000 to $5,687,000 from $4,853,000 for the comparable period in 2006. The change in interest expense was primarily attributed to the average cost of funds increasing 33 basis points to 3.72% for the three months ended September 30, 2007 from 3.39% for the comparable period in 2006, coupled with an increase of $39.2 million in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities to $611.1 million from $571.9 million for the comparable period in 2006. Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 increased $3,036,000 to $16,293,000 from $13,257,000 for the comparable period in 2006. This change was primarily the result of a 47 basis point increase in the average cost of funds to 3.63% from 3.16% for the comparable period in 2006 and a $38.1 million increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities. See “Average Balance Sheet and Rate/Volume Analysis”.

Rate / Volume Analysis

 

The following table shows the effect of changes in volumes and rates on interest income and interest expense. The changes in interest income and interest expense attributable to changes in both volume and rate have been allocated to the changes due to rate. Tax exempt income was not recalculated on a tax equivalent basis due to the immateriality of the change to the table resulting from a recalculation.

Provision for loan losses. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, $250,000 and $750,000 were taken as a provision for loan losses compared to $350,000 and $1,200,000 for the comparable periods in 2006. At September 30, 2007, the allowance for loan losses equaled 1.11% of gross loans outstanding compared to .97% at September 30, 2006. Net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans for the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2007 were .02% and .04%, respectively, compared to .05% and .03% for the comparable periods in 2006.

 

The provision for loan losses is charged to operations to bring the total allowance for loan losses to a level that represents management’s best estimate of the losses inherent in the portfolio, based on a monthly review by management of the following factors:

 

 

Historical experience

 

Volume

 

Type of lending conducted by the Bank

 

Industry standards

 

The level and status of past due and non-performing loans

 

The general economic conditions in the Bank’s lending area; and

 

Other factors affecting the collectability of the loans in the portfolio

 

12

 


Large groups of homogeneous loans, such as residential real estate, small commercial real estate loans and home equity and consumer loans are evaluated in the aggregate using historical loss factors and other data. The amount of loss reserve is calculated using historical loss rates, net of recoveries on a five year rolling weighted average, adjusted for environmental, and other qualitative factors such as industry, geographical, economic and political factors that can effect loss rates or loss measurements. Watch and classified loans are allocated additional reserves.

 

Large balance and/or more complex loans such as multi-family and commercial real estate loans may be evaluated on an individual basis and are also evaluated in the aggregate to determine adequate reserves. As specific loans are determined to be impaired, specific reserves are assigned based upon collateral value, market value, if determinable, or the present value of the estimated future cash flows of the loan.

 

The allowance is increased by a provision for loan loss which is charged to expense, and reduced by charge-offs, net of recoveries. Loans are placed on non-accrual status when they are 90 days past due.

 

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level that represents management’s best estimate of losses in the portfolio at the balance sheet date. However, there can be no assurance that the allowance for losses will be adequate to cover losses which may be realized in the future and that additional provisions for losses will not be required.

 

Other income. Total other income for the three months ended September 30, 2007 decreased $216,000 to $1,724,000 from $1,940,000 for the comparable three-month period in 2006. The decrease in other income for the three months ended September 30, 2007 was primarily due to a decrease in net investment security gains of $254,000. This decrease was partially offset by increases in debit card and trust fees of $30,000 and $25,000, respectively. Total other income for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 decreased $622,000 to $5,021,000 from $5,643,000 for the comparable nine-month period in 2006. This change was primarily due to a decrease in net investment security gains of $817,000 offset by increases in debit card and trust fees of $76,000 and $81,000, respectively. Income from debit card fees rose due to a growing deposit base and increased transactions from the comparable periods in 2006. Growth in the Trust Department’s assets under management contributed to the increase in fees collected from the comparable periods in 2006.

 

Other expenses. Total other expense for the three-month period ended September 30, 2007 increased $187,000 to $4,462,000 from $4,275,000 for the comparable three-month period in 2006. Increases in other expenses and pension and other employee benefits of $136,000 and $54,000, respectively, were partially offset by a decrease in data processing costs of $38,000. Total other expense for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007 increased $578,000 to $13,109,000 from $12,531,000 for the comparable nine-month period in 2006. Increases in pension and other employee benefits, other expenses, and advertising of $238,000, $198,000, and $125,000, respectively, were offset by a decrease in data processing costs of $68,000. Increases, for the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2007, in employee benefits are related to a rise in health care costs while other expenses rose due primarily to increases in losses due to check fraud, legal fees related to loan collection, and various services the Company subscribes to with third party vendors. Advertising costs, for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, increased due to expenses related to the Company’s new logo and marketing campaign. A decrease in data processing costs is attributed to a new contract the Company signed with its core data processor.

 

13

 


Provision for income taxes. Income taxes, for the three months ended September 30, 2007, decreased $80,000 to $588,000 from $668,000 for the comparable period in 2006. The effective tax rate decreased to 22.6% for the three month period ended September 30, 2007, compared to 23.7% for the comparable period in 2006. Income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, increased $139,000 to $1,796,000 from $1,657,000 for the comparable period in 2006. The effective tax rate increased to 23.1% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2007, compared to 20.0% for the comparable period in 2006. The increase is primarily related to securities written down in December 2004 and sold in 2006. The gain realized in 2006 was not subject to federal taxation.

 

Item 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

There were no significant changes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 from the information presented in the Annual Report on Form 10K, under the caption Market Risk, for the year ended December 31, 2006.

BYLAWS

 

OF

 

IBT BANCORP, INC.

 

These Bylaws are supplemental to the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law and other applicable provisions of law, as the same shall from time to time be in effect.

 

ARTICLE I. MEETINGS OF SHAREHOLDERS.

 

Section 101. Place of Meeting. All meetings of the shareholders shall be held at such place or places, within or without the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, as shall be determined by the Board of Directors from time to time.

 

Section 102. Annual Meetings. The annual meeting of the shareholders for the election of Directors and the transaction of such other business as may properly come before the meeting shall be held at such date or hour as may be fixed by the Board of Directors. Any business which is a proper subject for shareholder action may be transacted at the annual meeting, irrespective of whether the notice of said meeting contains any reference thereto, except as otherwise provided by applicable law.

 

Section 103. Special Meetings. Special meetings of the shareholders may be called at any time by the Board of Directors, the President, or by the shareholders entitled to cast at least one-third of the vote which all shareholders are entitled to cast at the particular meeting.

 

Section 104. Conduct of Shareholders’ Meetings. The Chairman of the Board shall preside at all shareholders’ meetings. In the absence of the Chairman of the Board, the President shall preside or, in his/her absence, any Officer designated by the Board of Directors. The Officer presiding over the shareholders’ meeting may establish such rules and regulations for the conduct of the meeting as he/she may deem to be reasonably necessary or desirable for the orderly and expeditious conduct of the meeting. Unless the Officer presiding over the shareholders’ meeting otherwise requires, shareholders need not vote by ballot on any question. Directors shall be elected by a plurality of votes of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors. Unless otherwise provided in the articles of incorporation, by statute, or by these bylaws, in matters other than the election of directors, a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at a lawful meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter, shall be sufficient to pass on a transaction or matter.

 

ARTICLE II. DIRECTORS AND BOARD MEETINGS.

 

Section 201. Management by Board of Directors. The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by its Board of Directors. The Board of Directors may exercise all such powers of the Corporation and do all such lawful acts and things as are not by statute, regulation, the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws directed or required to be exercised or done by the shareholders.

 

Section 202. Nomination for Directors. Nominations for directors to be elected at an annual meeting of shareholders, except those made by the Board of Directors of the Corporation, must be submitted to the Secretary of the Corporation in writing not later than the close of business on the sixtieth (60th) day immediately preceding the date of the meeting. Such notification shall contain the following information to the extent known to the notifying shareholder: (a) name and address of each proposed nominee; (b) the principal occupation of each proposed nominee; (c) the total number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation that will be voted for each proposed nominee; (d) the name and residence

 


address of the notifying shareholder; and (e) the number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation owned by the notifying shareholder. Nominations not made in accordance herewith may, in his/her discretion, be disregarded by the Presiding Officer of the meeting, and upon his/her instruction, the vote tellers may disregard all votes cast for each such nominee. In the event the same person is nominated by more than one shareholder, the nomination shall be honored, and all shares of capital stock of the Corporation shall be counted if at least one nomination for that person complies herewith.

 

Section 203. Directors Must be Shareholders. Every Director must be a shareholder of the Corporation and shall beneficially own at least five hundred (500) shares of the Corporation’s common stock at the time he/she becomes a director. If a Director does not have beneficial ownership of at least 5,000 shares of common stock at the time he/she is elected, all fees to be paid to the person for serving on the Board of Directors will be used to purchase additional shares of common stock for the Director until he/she obtains beneficial ownership of at least 5,000 shares of common stock. All persons must continue to beneficially own at least 5,000 shares of common stock while serving on the Board of Directors. If any Directors does not continue to beneficially own at least 5,000 shares of common stock, his/her ownership shall be reported by the Secretary, or other officer, to the Board of Directors. If the Director does not acquire common stock to restore his/her beneficial ownership to at least 5,000 shares of common stock within sixty (60) days of notice, he/she shall be removed from the Board of Directors. “Beneficial” ownership shall be interpreted as defined under the regulations of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934.

 

Section 204. Eligibility and Mandatory Retirement. No person shall be eligible to be newly elected or appointed as a Director as he/she shall have attained the age of seventy (70) years on or prior to the date of his/her election.
