Derivative Financial Instruments Interest rate swap agreements: During May 2000, the Company entered into two agreements to assume variable market-indexed interest payments in exchange for fixed-rate interest payments (interest rate swaps). The notional principal amount of interest rate swaps outstanding was $8,525,000 at September 30, 2001. The original term to maturity was 24 months. The weighted-average fixed payment rate was 7.0% at September 30, 2001. Variable interest payments received are based on three-month LIBOR. At September 30, 2001, the weighted average rate of variable market-indexed interest payment obligations to the Company was 3.23%. The effect of these agreements was to transform fixed rate liabilities to variable rate liabilities. The net income from these agreements was $153,727 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2001, which is charged to income as it accrues. 9 The Company's current credit exposure on swaps is limited to the value of interest rate swaps that have become assets to the Company. At September 30, 2001, the fair value of interest rate swaps in an asset position was $280,120. Note 7. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board Issued two statements - Statement 141, Business Combinations, and Statement 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, which will potentially impact the accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets. Statement 141 eliminates the pooling method of accounting for business combinations and requires that intangible assets that meet certain criteria be reported separately from goodwill. The Statement also requires negative goodwill arising from a business combination to be recorded as an extraordinary gain. Statement 142 eliminates the amortization of goodwill and other intangibles that are determined to have an indefinite life. The Statement requires, at a minimum, annual impairment tests for goodwill and other intangible assets that are determined to have an indefinite life. Upon adoption of these Statements, an organization is required to re-evaluate goodwill and other intangible assets that arose from business combinations entered into before July 1, 2001. If the recorded other intangible assets do not meet the criteria for recognition, they should be classified as goodwill. Similarly, if there are other intangible assets that meet criteria for recognition but were not separately recorded from goodwill, they should be reclassified from goodwill. An organization also must reassess the useful lives of intangible assets and adjust the remaining amortization periods accordingly. Any negative goodwill must be written-off. The standards generally are required to be implemented by the Company in its 2002 financial statements. The adoption of these standards will not have a material impact on the financial statements. Note 8. Subsequent Event On October 19, 2001, the Board of Directors approved the issuance of $10 million in trust preferred debt through participation by the Company in a trust preferred pool. Under the terms of the pool, the trust preferred debt would mature in 30 years and be non-callable for the first five years. After five years, the trust preferred debt would be callable at each interest reset date. The stated interest rate, which would reset semi-annually, would be variable and tied to six month LIBOR plus approximately 3.75%. Interest payments on the trust preferred debt may be deferred for the first five years. The Company expects to issue the trust preferred debt in late November 2001. 10 Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Financial Summary Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 increased 21.1% to $3.9 million or $2.18 per diluted share compared to $3.2 million or $1.83 per diluted share for the first nine months of 2000. Annualized returns on average assets and equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 were 1.7% and 17.5%, respectively, compared to 1.7% and 18.2% for the same period in 2000. Total assets for Independent Community Bankshares, Inc. (the "Company") increased to $332.0 million at September 30, 2001 compared to $289.5 million at December 31, 2000, representing an increase of $42.5 million or 14.7%. Total loans at September 30, 2001 were $193.0 million, an increase of $17.2 million from the December 31, 2000 balance of $175.8 million. The Company is located in one of the fastest growing counties and metropolitan areas in the United States. In addition, the Company has increased its customer base as a result of increased advertising and consolidation in the banking industry within its local market. These factors have contributed to the solid loan and deposit growth experienced over the past year. The declining interest rate environment continued to provide a strong market for mortgage refinancings and, as a result, loans held for sale increased $8.7 million to $10.8 million at September 30, 2001. The investment portfolio increased 20.1% to $97.9 million at September 30, 2001 compared to $81.6 million at December 31, 2000. Deposits increased $33.3 million to $257.9 million at September 30, 2001 from $224.6 million at December 31, 2000. Growth in the transactional accounts and time deposits account for $8.8 million and $13.8 million, respectively, of the increase during the first nine months of 2001. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase with commercial checking accounts decreased $557,000 from $14.3 million at December 31, 2000 to $13.8 million at September 30, 2001. Shareholders' equity was $30.8 million at September 30, 2001. This amount represents an increase of 12.8% from the December 31, 2000 balance of $27.3 million. The book value per common share was $17.55 at September 30, 2001 and $15.68 at December 31, 2000. Net Interest Income Net interest income is the Company's primary source of earnings and represents the difference between interest and fees earned on earning assets and the interest expense paid on deposits and other interest bearing liabilities. Net interest income totaled $10.1 million for the first nine months of 2001 compared to $9.0 million for the same period in 2000. The increase is largely due to growth in the average earning assets. Average earning assets increased $45.6 million from $237.0 million at September 30, 2000 to $282.7 million at September 30, 2001. During the latter half of 2000, the funding mix for the growth in the earning assets changed to more reliance on borrowed money rather than low cost deposits causing a decrease in the margin. The effect of this change in the funding mix was largely recognized in the latter half of 2000 and deposit growth has largely funded asset growth during the first nine months of 2001. Noninterest Income Noninterest income consisting of fees from deposit accounts, fiduciary activities and mortgage banking increased 43.5% to $3.8 million for the first nine months of 2001 compared to $2.7 million for the same period in 2000. Current market conditions have spurred a refinance boom that has provided significant volume increases in mortgage fees on loans held for sale as well as enabled the Company to recognize gains in its investment portfolio. Service charges on deposit accounts for the first nine months 11 of 2001 totaled $1.1 million compared to $886,000 for the same period in 2000, an increase of 20.0%. The Company realized $312,000 in net gains on the investment portfolio for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. Commissions and fees from fiduciary activities were $976,000 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2001 compared to $1.2 million for the same period in 2000. Fees on loans held for sale increased $553,000 or 116.4% to $1.0 million at September 30, 2001 from the September 30, 2000 balance of $475,000. Other operating income increased $314,000 to $451,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 compared to $137,000 for the same period in 2000. Additional staff in the non-deposit investment sales area has contributed to the increase in other operating income. Noninterest Expense Total noninterest expense includes employee-related costs, occupancy and equipment expense and other overhead. Total noninterest expense was $8.5 million for the first nine months of 2001 compared to $7.0 million for the same period in 2000. This is a 20.6% increase from the nine months ended September 30, 2000 to the nine months ended September 30, 2001. Salary and benefit expense increased 27.1% from $4.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 to $5.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The Company has increased its staffing in both the business development and operations areas to support the significant asset growth. Commissions paid to employees for fee related business, such as mortgage originations and investment sales have increased by $405,000 to $535,000 as a result in the increase in sales volume. Net occupancy expense of premises decreased $2,000 from $874,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 to $872,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. Allowance for Loan Losses The allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2001 was $2.0 million compared to $1.7 million at September 30, 2000. The provision for loan losses decreased $100,000 from the September 30, 2000, $325,000 balance to $225,000 at September 30, 2001. The allowance for loan losses was 1.04% of total loans outstanding at both September 30, 2001 and September 30, 2000. At September 30, 2001, net loan recoveries were $1,000. There were no loans past due 90 days or more at September 30, 2001. Non-performing loans decreased to .05% of total loans outstanding at September 30, 2001 compared to .11% at September 30, 2000. Management believes the allowance for loan losses is adequate to cover credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio at September 30, 2001. Loans classified as loss, doubtful, substandard or special mention are adequately reserved for and are not expected to have a material impact beyond what has been reserved. Capital Resources Shareholders' equity at September 30, 2001 and September 30, 2000 was $30.8 million and $25.2 million, respectively. Total common shares outstanding at September 30, 2001 were 1,752,258. At September 30, 2001 the Company's tier 1 and total risk-based capital ratios were 12.3% and 13.1%, respectively, compared to 12.7% and 13.6% at December 31, 2000. The Company's leverage ratio was 9.3% at September 30, 2001 compared to 9.7% at December 31, 2000. The Company's capital structure places it above the regulatory guidelines, which affords the Company the opportunity to take advantage of business opportunities while ensuring that it has the resources to protect against risk inherent in its business. Forward-Looking Statements Certain information contained in this discussion may include "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the 12 Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
