FFW CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (1) Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to represent fairly the financial condition of FFW Corporation as of September 30, 1998 and June 30, 1998, and the results of its operations, for the three months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997. Financial Statement reclassifications have been made for the prior period to conform to classifications used as of and for the period ended September 30, 1998. Operating results for the three months ended September 30, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999. (2) Earnings Per Share of Common Stock Basic and diluted earning per share are computed under a new accounting standard effective in the quarter ended December 31, 1997. All prior amounts have been restated to be comparable. Basic earnings per share is based on net income (less preferred dividends) divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share shows the dilutive effect of additional common shares issuable under stock options (and convertible securities). Diluted net income per common share was $0.33 respectively, for the three-month period ended September 30, 1998, from $0.33 in 1997. Earnings per share have been adjusted to reflect a 100% common stock dividend declared December 15, 1998 and paid December 31, 1998. (3) Regulatory Capital Requirements Pursuant to the Financial Institution Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of l989 ("FIRREA"), savings institutions must meet three separate minimum capital-to-asset requirements. The following table summarizes, as of September 30, 1998, the capital requirements for the Bank under FIRREA and its actual capital ratios. As of September 30, 1998, the Bank substantially exceeded all current regulatory capital standards.
Regulatory Actual ---------- ------ Capital Requirement Capital (Bank Only) ------------------- ------------------- Amount Percent Amount Percent ------ ------- ------ ------- (Dollars in Thousands) Risk-Based ................ $10,037 8.00% $15,381 12.26% Core Capital .............. 6,235 3.00% 14,341 6.90% Tangible Capital .......... 3,118 1.50% 14,341 6.90%
(4) Common Stock Cash Dividends On August 25, 1998, the Board of Directors of FFW Corporation, declared a quarterly cash dividend of $.105 per share. The dividend was paid September 30, 1998 to shareholders of record on September 15, 1998. The payment of the cash dividend reduced shareholders' equity by $153,134. PART II FFW CORPORATION Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations General The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statement includes the account of FFW Corporation (the "Company") and its wholly owned subsidiaries, First Federal Savings Bank of Wabash(the "Bank") and FirstFed Financial of Wabash, Inc. All significant inter-company transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation. The Company's results of operations are primarily dependent on the Bank's net interest margin, which is the difference between interest income on interest-earning assets and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities. The Bank's net income is also affected by the level of its non-interest expenses, such as employee compensation and benefits, occupancy expenses, and other expenses. Forward - Looking Statements When used in this Form 10 - Q and in future filings by the Company with Securities and Exchange Commission, in the Company's press release or other public or shareholder communications, and in oral statements made with the approval of an authorized executive officer, the words or phrase "will likely result", "are expected to", "will continue", "is anticipated", "estimate", "project" or similar expressions are intended to identify "forward - looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1997. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical earnings and those presently anticipated or projected. The Company wishes to caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward - looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. The Company wishes to advise readers that the factors listed below could affect the Company's financial performance and could cause the Company's actual results for future periods to differ materially from any opinions or statements expressed with respect to future periods in any current statements. The Company does not undertake - and specifically declines any obligation - to publicly release the result of any revisions which may be made to any forward - looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events. Financial Condition The Company's total assets increased $9.5 million, or 4.7%, from $203.3 million at June 30, 1998 to $212.8 million at September 30, 1998. This increase was due primarily to funds generated by an increase in advances from FHLB of $7.0 million. Net loans receivables increased $6.7 million and securities available-for-sale increased $1.7 million. Loan demand and liquidity needs may result in additional borrowings if deposits and loan growth remain at current levels. Total securities available-for-sale increased $1.7 million from $50.3 million at June 30, 1998 to $52.0 million at September 30, 1998. This increase was primarily the result of purchases of callable bonds. The available-for-sale portfolio consists primarily of municipal securities, government agencies, mortgage-backed securities and to a lesser extent mutual funds and FNMA preferred stock. Net loans receivable increased $6.7 million, or 4.8% from $139.4 million at June 30, 1998 to $146.1 million at September 30, 1998. The increase in the loan portfolio for the quarter resulted, primarily, from an increase in non-mortgage loans of $6.0 million due to an increase in origination's. Management, consistent with its asset/liability objectives, will continue to sell all of its newly originated fixed-rate mortgage loans with terms to maturity greater than 15 years. Total deposits increased $841,000 or 0.8% from $125.3 million at June 30, 1998 to $126.1 million at September 30, 1998. For the quarter ended September 30, 1998, Savings, Now and MMDA accounts increased $544,000 or 1.1%. Management believes that deposit growth may become more costly with the increased use of specials with higher interest rates and the competitive nature of the markets we serve. Total borrowed funds increased $7.0 million from $56.5 million at June 30, 1998 to $63.5 million at September 30, 1998. The increase consisted of new short term advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis. Total shareholders' equity increased $613,000 from $19.1 million at June 30, 1998 to $19.7 million at September 30, 1998. The increase resulted from net income of $481,000, and an increase in the market value of investments, net of tax of $385,000 which was partially reduced by $153,134 for the payment of dividends, and $ 93,000 for the unearned employee stock ownership plans. Results of Operations - Comparison of the Quarters Ended September 30, 1998 and September 30, 1997 General. Net income increased by $11,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1998 respectively, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 1997. The increase for the three months ended September 30, 1998 was primarily the result of increases in net interest income, and non-interest income offset by an increase in non-interest expense. All of these items are discussed in greater detail below. Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $117,000 or 8.1% for the three months ended September 30, 1998 over the same period in 1997. This was primarily the result of an increase in average interest-earning assets which exceeded the increase in average interest-bearing liabilities, and a corresponding increase in the spread earned. Interest Income. Interest income increased $461,000 to $4.0 million from $3.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 respectively. The increases in interest income for the three months ended September 30, 1998 were due to continued growth in interest-earning assets including mortgage loans, commercial and consumer loans and investment, as compared to the same periods ended September 30, 1997. These increased interest-earning assets are the result of competitive pricing, marketing, and the re-pricing of adjustable-rate loans and mortgage-backed securities. Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $344,000 to $2.4 million from $2.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 1998, the increase in interest expense was due to an increase in borrowed funds and deposits outstanding as compared to the same periods in 1997. Interest rates, while remaining steady have increased the use of higher rate specials by everyone trying to attract deposits. Provision for Loan Losses. The provision for loan losses decreased $80,000 to $120,000 from $200,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 respectively. The loan loss provisions are based on management's quarterly analysis of the allowance for loan losses. The provisions for the three month period reflect an increase in non-mortgage lending and the inherent riskiness and the number of these loans as compared to 1-4 family mortgage loans. With the expansion into commercial lending the company will continue to increase its allowance for loan losses and make future additions to the allowance through the provision for loan losses as loan growth, economic and regulatory conditions dictate. Although the Company maintains its allowance for loan losses at a level which is deemed consistent with the level of risk in the portfolio, economic conditions, etc. there can be no assurance that future losses will not exceed estimated amounts or that additional provisions for loan losses will not be required in future periods. Non-interest Income. Non-interest income increased by $76,000 to $310,000 from $234,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 respectively. The increase was the primarily the result of increased fee income on deposit accounts of $61,000 and increase in gain on sales of loans to the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation of $26,000 offset by a 12,000 loss on available for sale securities. Management believes that with the lower interest rates we will see a increase in the gain on sales of loans to Freddie Mac for the remainder of the year as compared to last year. Non-Interest Expense. Non-interest expense increased $92,000 to $1.0 million from $910,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 1998, compensation and benefits increased by 15.82% and occupancy and equipment increased 16.54% compared to the same period in 1997. The increase in compensation and benefits is due to added expense from the ESOP. Depreciation on building expenses is primarily the reason for the increase in occupancy and equipment. Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense increased $171,000 to $269,000 from $98,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1998 compared to quarter ended 1997. The increase was due to increased taxable income as of September 30, 1998. Non-Performing Assets and Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan losses is calculated based upon an evaluation of pertinent factors underlying the types and qualities of the Company's loans. Management considers such factors as the repayment status of a loan, the estimated net realizable value of the underlying collateral, the borrower's ability to repay the loan, current and anticipated economic conditions which might affect the borrower's ability to repay the loan and the Company's past statistical history concerning charge-offs. The Company's allowance for loan losses as of September 30, 1998, was $1.1 million or 0.7% of total loans. The June 30, 1998 allowance for loan losses was $983,000, or 0.7% of total loans. Total loans classified as substandard, doubtful or loss as of September 30, 1998 were $1.1 million or 0.5% of total assets. Management has considered non-performing assets and total classified assets in establishing the allowance for loan losses. The ratio of non-performing assets to total assets is one indicator of the exposure to credit risk. Non-performing assets of the Company consist of non-accruing loans, accruing loans delinquent 90 days or more, and foreclosed assets which have been acquired as a result of foreclosure or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure.

Total non-performing assets increased $222,000 to $1,095,000, or .51% of total assets at September 30, 1998, from $873,000 or .43% of total assets at June 30, 1998. The increase in non-performing assets was primarily due to the addition of several auto loans for $126,000. Foreclosed assets increased $17,000 due to the repossession of several vehicles. Liquidity and Capital Resources. The Company's primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest payments on loans and mortgage-backed securities, FHLB Indianapolis advances and funds provided by operations. While scheduled loan and mortgage-backed security repayments and maturity of short-term investments are a relatively predictable source of funds, deposit flows are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions, competition and, most recently, the restructuring occurring in the thrift industry. Current Office of Thrift Supervision regulations require the Bank to maintain cash and eligible investments in an amount equal to at least 5.0% of customer accounts and short-term borrowings to assure its ability to meet demands for withdrawals and repayment of short-term borrowings. The Company uses its capital resources principally to meet its ongoing commitments to fund maturing certificates of deposits and loan commitments, maintain is liquidity and meet operating expenses. At September 30, 1998, the Company has commitments to originate loans totaling $1.8 million. The Company considers its liquidity and capital resources to be adequate to meet its foreseeable short- and long-term needs. The Company expects to be able to fund or refinance, on a timely basis, its material commitments and long-term liabilities. Regulatory standards impose the following capital requirements: a risk-based capital standard expressed as a percent of risk-adjusted assets, a leverage ratio of core capital to total adjusted assets, and a tangible capital ratio expressed as a percent of total adjusted assets. As of September 30, 1998, the Bank exceeded all fully phased-in regulatory capital standards. At September 30, 1998, the Bank's tangible capital was $14.3 million, or 6.9% of adjusted total assets, which is in excess of the 1.5% requirement by $11.2 million. In addition, at September 30, 1998, the Bank had core capital of $14.3 million, or 6.9% of adjusted total assets, which exceeds the 3.0% requirement by $8.1 million. The Bank had risk-based capital of $15.4 million at September 30, 1998 or 12.3% of risk-adjusted assets which exceeds the 8.0% risk-based capital requirements by $6.8 million. As required by federal law, the OTS has proposed a rule revising its minimum core capital requirement to be no less stringent than that imposed on national banks. The OTS has proposed that only those savings associations rated a composite one (the highest rating) under the MACRO rating system for savings associations will be permitted to operate at or near the regulatory minimum leverage ratio of 3.0%. All other savings associations will be required to maintain a minimum leverage ratio of 3.0% at least an additional 100 to 200 basis points. The OTS will assess each individual savings association through the supervisory process on a case-by-case basis to determine the applicable requirement. No assurance can be given as to the final form of any such regulation, the date of its effectiveness or the requirement applicable to the Bank. As a result of the prompt corrective action provisions of federal law discussed below, however, a savings association must maintain a core capital ratio of at least 4.0% to be considered adequately capitalized unless its supervisory condition is such to allow it to maintain a 3.0% ratio. Under the requirements of federal law all the federal banking agencies, including the OTS, must revise their risk-based capital requirements to ensure that such requirements account for interest rate risk, concentration of credit risk and the risks of non-traditional activities, and that they reflect the actual performance of and expected loss on multi-family loans. The OTS had adopted a final rule that requires every savings association with more than normal interest rate risk to deduct from its total capital, for purposes of determining compliance with such requirement, an amount equal to 50% of its interest-rate risk exposure multiplied by the market value of its assets. This exposure is a measure of the potential decline in the market value of portfolio equity of a savings association, greater than 2%, based upon a hypothetical 200 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates (whichever results in a greater decline) affecting on-and off-balance sheet assets and liabilities. The effective date of the new requirement is July 1, 1994. Any savings association with less than $300 million in assets and a total capital ratio in excess of 12% is exempt from this requirement unless the OTS determines otherwise. It is anticipated that since the Bank has less than $300 million in assets, and a risk-based capital ratio in excess of 12%, it will be exempt from this rule. YEAR 2000 The Year 2000 issue is the result of potential problems with computer systems or any equipment with computer chips that store the year portion of the date as just two digits (e.g., 98 for 1998). Systems using this two-digit approach may not be able to determine whether "00" represents the Year 2000 or 1900. The problem, if not corrected, may make those systems fail altogether or, even worse, allow them to generate incorrect calculations causing a disruption of normal operations. In 1997, a comprehensive project plan to address the Year 2000 issue as it relates to the company's operation was developed, approved by the Board of Directors and implemented. The scope of the plan includes five phases, Awareness, Assessment, Renovation, Validation (testing), and Implementation as defined by federal banking regulatory agencies. A project team was assigned and consists of key members of management. This team was to assess our systems and equipment and our vendors to ascertain their readiness and to develop the overall plan to bring our systems into compliance. Additionally, it was to assess the readiness of our customers and determine what risk, if any, our key customers pose to the bank with regards to their Year 200 readiness. The duties of the Vice President of Operations were realigned to serve as the Year 2000 Project Manager. An assessment of the impact of the year 2000 issue on the Company's computer systems has been completed. The scope of the project also includes other operational and environmental systems since they may be impacted if embedded computer chips control the functionality of those systems. From the assessment, the Company has identified and prioritized those systems deemed to be mission critical or those that have a significant impact on normal operations. The Company relies on third-party vendors and service providers for much of its data processing capabilities and to maintain its computer systems. Formal communications with these providers and other external counter parties were initiated in 1997 to assess the Year 2000 readiness of their products and services. Their progress in meeting their targeted schedules is being monitored continually for any indication that they may not be able to address the problems in time. Thus far, responses indicate that all of the significant providers currently have compliant versions available or are well into the renovation and testing phases with completion scheduled for sometime in 1998. However, the Company can give no guarantee that the systems of these service providers and vendors on which the Company's systems rely will be timely renovated. Additionally, the Company has implemented a plan to manage the potential credit risk posed by the impact of the Year 2000 issue on its major borrowing customers. Formal communications have been initiated, and the assessment was substantially completed on September 30, 1998. Loan losses attributed to the Year 2000 issue are not anticipated to be material to the Company. The project team feels that the Company's Year 2000 readiness project is on schedule. The following table provides a summary of the current status of the five phases involved and a projected timetable for completion. ================================================================================ PROJECT PHASE % COMPLETED PROJECTED COMPLETION - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Awareness 100% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Assessment 100% - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Renovation 85% December 31, 1998 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Validation 35% April, 1999 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Implementation 25% June, 1999 ================================================================================ The estimated total cost of the Year 2000 project is estimated to be between $100,000 and $150,000. The total amount expended on the project through September 30, 1998, was $45,400 of which approximately $30,400 was related to the cost of replacement software. The remaining $15,000 was related to four training workshops with our data processor and Arthur Anderson, a national consulting/CPA firm, and the creation of a test bank using 5% of our data base. Funds have been provided from our normal operating budget and costs are expensed as they are incurred. The total cost to the Company of these Year 2000 readiness activities has not been, and is not anticipated to be, material to its financial position or results or operations in any given year. No specific other projects have been deferred due to this project. Much of the work done within this project is an acceleration of work that would have been done in the normal course of business. The costs and timetable in which the Company plans to complete the Year 2000 readiness activities are based on management's best estimates, which were derived using numerous assumptions of future events including the continued availability of certain resources, third-party readiness plans and other factors. The Company can make no guarantee that these estimates will be achieved and actual results could differ from such plans. Based upon current information related to the progress of its major vendors and service providers, management has determined that the Year 2000 issue will not pose significant operational problems for its computer systems. This determination is based on the ability of those vendors and service providers to renovate, in a timely manner, the products and services on which the Company's systems rely. However, the Company can give no guarantee that the systems of these suppliers will be renovated in a timely manner. Realizing that some disruption may occur despite its best efforts, the Company is in the process of developing contingency plans for each critical system in the event that one or more of those systems fail. While this is an ongoing process, the Company expects to have the plan substantially documented by June 30, 1999. Part II - Other Information As of September 30, 1998, management is not aware of any current recommendations by regulatory authorities which, if they were to be implemented, would have or are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company's liquidity, capital resources or operations.
