INDEPENDENT BANKSHARES, INC.

NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

(1)           Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

For information regarding significant accounting policies, reference is made to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Annual Report of Independent Bankshares, Inc. (the “Company”) on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 

The accompanying financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary to present a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented, and all adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature.

 

(2)           Bank Mergers

 

On February 14, 2003, State National Bancshares, Inc.  (“State National”), the Company’s sole shareholder, contributed its ownership interest in State National Bank, El Paso, Texas (“SNB El Paso”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of State National, to the Company.  The Company, in turn, contributed to Independent Financial Corp., a Delaware subsidiary of the Company, all of the capital stock of SNB El Paso. After the contribution, SNB El Paso was then merged with and into State National Bank, Lubbock, Texas (the “Bank”), (the “Merger”).  The Bank continued as the surviving entity and is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. There was no merger consideration paid as, prior to the Merger, SNB El Paso and the Bank were both direct or indirect subsidiaries of State National.

 

As a result of the Merger, the balance sheet and results of operations of the SNB El Paso have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements since August 11, 2000, the date of the acquisition of the Company by State National.

(4)                                 Adoption of Accounting Standards and Goodwill Impairment

 

In June 2001 the FASB issued SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, which addresses the accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets.  SFAS No. 142 prohibits the amortization of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives.  SFAS No. 142 requires that these assets be reviewed for impairment at least annually.  Intangible assets with finite lives will continue to be amortized over their estimated useful lives.  Additionally, SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill included in the carrying value of equity method investments no longer be amortized.

 

SFAS No. 142 was effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2002.  The implementation of SFAS No. 142 resulted in the Company recording a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $15,642,000 during the first quarter of 2002.  This charge reflects the cumulative effect of adopting the accounting change in the statement of operations, but does not affect the Company’s operations and has no impact on cash flows.  The Company’s assets were

 

6



 

reviewed again for impairment as of October 1, 2002.  The results of this review determined that an impairment did not need to be recorded at the time of the review.

 

In August 2001 the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”.  SFAS No. 144 addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment of long-lived assets and for long-lived assets to be disposed of.  More specifically, this statement broadens the presentation of discontinued operations to include a component of an entity whose operations and cash flows can be clearly distinguished, operationally and for financial reporting purposes, from the rest of the entity.  It supersedes, with exceptions, SFAS No. 121, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of”, and was adopted January 1, 2002.

 

In 2002 the Company sold three branches located in Bangs and Trent, Texas and Belen, New Mexico.  In 2003 the Company sold one branch located in Socorro, New Mexico  Accordingly, the operating results of the deposed properties have been reclassified and reported as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations and the assets and liabilities of the branches held-for-sale have been reclassified and reported as such on the consolidated balance sheets.

 

In November 2002, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 45, “Guarantor’s Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others, and Interpretation of FASB Statements No. 5, 57, and 107 and Rescission of FASB Interpretation No. 34” (“FIN 45”).  FIN 45 elaborates on the disclosure to be made by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements about its obligations under certain guarantees that it has issued.  It also clarifies that a guarantor is required to recognize, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing the guarantee.  The initial recognition and measurement provisions of FIN 45 are applicable on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002.  The disclosure requirements of FIN 45 are effective for financial statements of interim or annual periods ending after December 15, 2002, and were adopted in the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2002.  Adoption of FIN 45 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

In January 2003, the FASB issued FIN No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of Accounting Research Bulleting No. 51.”  FIN 46 establishes guidance for consolidation of variable interest entities (“VIE”) that function to support the activities of the primary beneficiary.  The primary beneficiary of a VIE entity is the entity that absorbs a majority of the VIE’s expected losses, receives a majority of the VIE’s expected residual returns, or both, as a result of ownership, controlling interest, contractual relationship or other business relationship with a VIE.  Prior to the implementation of FIN 46, VIEs were generally consolidated by an enterprise when the enterprise had a controlling financial interest through ownership of a majority of voting interest in the entity.  The provisions of FIN 46 were effective immediately for all arrangements entered into after January 31, 2003, and are otherwise effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003.

 

The Company adopted FIN 46 on July 1, 2003.  In its current form, FIN 46 may require the Company to de-consolidate its investments in Independent Capital Trust in future financial statements.  The potential de-consolidation of subsidiary trusts of bank holding companies formed in connection with the issuance of trust preferred securities, like Independent Capital Trust, appears to be an unintended consequence of FIN 46.  It is currently unknown if, or when, the Financial Accounting Standards Board will address this issue.  In July 2003, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (“Federal Reserve”) issued a supervisory letter instructing bank holding companies to continue to include the trust preferred securities in their Tier 1 capital for regulatory capital purposes until notice is given to the contrary.  The Federal Reserve intends to review the regulatory implications of any accounting treatment changes and, if necessary or warranted, provide further appropriate guidance.  There can be no assurance that the Federal Reserve will continue to allow institutions to include trust preferred securities in Tier 1 capital for regulatory capital purposes.  As of June 30, 2003, assuming the Company was not allowed to include the $11 million in trust preferred securities issued by Independent Capital Trust in Tier 1 capital, the Company would still exceed the regulatory required minimums for capital adequacy purposes.

 

In January 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure”, (SFAS 148”).  SFAS 148 amends FASB SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, (“SFAS 123”) to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation.  In addition, SFAS 148 amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements of the method of accounting

 

7



 

for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results.  SFAS 148 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2002.  The adoption of this statement did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operation.

 

In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 149”).  SFAS 149 amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities under SFAS 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.”  The new guidance amends SFAS 133 for decisions made:  (i) as part of the Derivatives Implementation Group process that effectively required amendments to SFAS 133, (b) in connection with other Board projects dealing with financial instruments, and (c) regarding implementation issues raised in relation to the application of the definition of a derivative.  SFAS 149 also modifies various other existing pronouncements to conform with the changes made to SFAS 133. SFAS 149 is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003, and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003, with all provision applied prospectively.  The adoption of this statement did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operation.

 

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity”, (“SFAS 150”).  SFAS 150 establishes standards for how any issuer classifies, measures and discloses in its financial statements certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity.  SFAS 150 requires certain financial instruments that embody obligations of the issuer and have characteristics of both liabilities and equity to be classified as liabilities.  SFAS 150 is effective for contracts entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and is otherwise effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003.  The adoption of this statement did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operation.

 

(5)                                 Branch Sale

General

 

The following discussion and analysis presents the more significant factors affecting the Company’s results of operations for each of the quarters and six-month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, and the financial condition at June 30, 2003, and December 31, 2002. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements, notes thereto and other financial information appearing elsewhere in this quarterly report.

 

Analysis of Results of Operations

 

Net Income (Loss)

 

Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2003 amounted to $3,455,000 compared to net income of $2,898,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2002.  Net income before cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle for the six month period ended June 30, 2003 was $5,711,000 compared to net income before cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle of $5,349,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2002. The increase in  net income between the quarter ended June 30, 2003 compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2002 as well as the increase in net income before cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle for the six month period ended June 30, 2003 compared to the six month period ended June 30, 2002 was primarily due to the reduction of the provision for loan loss recorded in the six month period ended June 30, 2003 as compared to the loan loss provision recorded for the same periods in 2002 and increases in mortgage and service charge income.  Giving effect to the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle, net income for the six month period ended June 30, 2003, was $5,711,000 compared to net loss of $10,293,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2002. The loss in the six month period ended June 30, 2002 was due to a $15,642,000 impairment recorded in the first quarter of 2002 as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle, related to the adoption of Statement of Accounting Standards, No. 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“FAS 142”).

Net Interest Income

 

Net interest income represents the amount by which interest income on interest-earning assets, including loans and securities exceeds interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities, including deposits and other borrowed funds.  Net interest income is the principal source of the Company’s earnings.  Interest rate fluctuations, as well as changes in the amount and type of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, combine to affect net interest income.

 

Net interest income amounted to $12,120,000 for the second quarter of 2003, an increase of $195,000, or 1.64%, when compared to the second quarter of 2002.  Net interest income for the second quarter of 2002 was $11,925,000.  Net interest income for the first six months of 2003 was $23,997,000, a decrease of $69,000, or 0.29%, when compared to net interest income of $24,066,000 for the first six months of 2002.  Net interest margin on a fully taxable-equivalent basis increased from 4.83% for the second quarter of 2002 to 5.11% for the second quarter of 2003, as well as from 4.82% for the first six months of 2002 to 5.04% for the first six months of 2003.  The increase in net interest margin from June 30, 2002 to June 30, 2003 was primarily caused by the realignment of the deposit mix.

 

At June 30, 2003, approximately $393,119,000, or 57.19%, of the Company’s total loans, net of unearned income, were loans with floating interest rates.  During 2002, loans with floating interest rates were subjected to declining interest rates as the prime interest rate was decreased from 4.75% to 4.25% on November 7, 2002 which is the primary cause of the decrease in the yield on loans from 7.44% at June 30, 2002 to 6.88% at June 30, 2003.  However, total loans, net of unearned income increased $56,459,000 since June 30, 2002.  This increase in total loans, net of unearned income allowed for the slight increase in loan interest income from the second quarter of 2002 to the second quarter of 2003 and helped offset the decrease from the first six months of 2002 to the first six months of 2003.

 

Security yields decreased from 5.23% at June 30, 2002 to 4.54% at June 30, 2003.  This decrease was primarily caused by declines in yields in the bond market on new purchases between the periods ended June 30, 2002 and June 30, 2003.

 

These net changes caused the Company’s overall yield on interest earning assets to decrease from 6.35% for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 to 6.04% for the quarter ended June 30 2003, and to decrease from 6.45% to 6.04% for the six month period ended June 30, 2002 and 2003, respectively.

 

Average overall rates paid for various types of certificates of deposit decreased when comparing the first six months of 2002 to the first six months of 2003. For example, the average rate paid for certificates of deposit less than $100,000 decreased from 3.22% for the first six months of 2002 to 2.13% for the first six months of 2003, while the average rate paid by the Company for certificates of deposit of $100,000 or more also decreased from 3.35% during the first six months of 2002 to 2.26% during the first six months of 2003.

 

Rates on other types of deposits, such as interest-bearing demand, savings and money market deposits, also decreased from an average of 0.80% during the six month period ended June 30, 2002 to an average of 0.48% during the first six months of 2003.  These decreases were primarily caused by the decline in interest rates during the time period from June 30, 2002 to June 30, 2003.  These changes caused the Company’s overall cost of interest-bearing deposits to decrease from 1.65% for the first six months of 2002 to 0.99% for the first six months of 2003.

The following table presents the average balance sheets of the Company for the quarters and six month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, and indicates the interest earned or paid on the major categories of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities on a fully taxable-equivalent basis and the average rates earned or paid on each major category.  This analysis details the contribution of interest-earning assets and the impact of the cost of funds on overall net interest income.

(1)          Nonaccrual loans have been included in average assets for the purposes of the computations, thereby reducing yields.

(2)          Information with respect to tax-exempt securities is provided on a fully taxable-equivalent basis assuming a tax rate of 34%.

 

Provision for Loan Losses

 

The amount of the provision for loan losses is based on periodic (not less than quarterly) evaluations of the loan portfolio, especially nonperforming and other probable problem loans. During these evaluations, consideration is given to such factors as: management’s evaluation of specific loans; the level and composition of nonperforming loans; historical loss experience; results of examinations by regulatory agencies; an internal asset review process conducted by the Company; expectations of economic conditions and their impact on particular industries and individual borrowers; the market value of collateral; the strength of available guarantees; concentrations of credits; and other judgmental factors. The provision for loan losses made for the six month period ended June 30, 2003 was $118,000, compared to $740,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2002. The relatively low provision recorded in the first six months of 2003 is primarily related to improved loan quality and recoveries received during the year which have exceeded expectations thereby reducing the need for a provision.

 

Noninterest Income

 

Total noninterest income increased $731,000, or 21.4%, from $3,421,000 during the second quarter of 2002 to $4,152,000 during the second quarter of 2003.  Total noninterest income also increased $1,260,000, or 19.0%, from $6,636,000 for the first six months of 2002 to $7,896,000 for the first six months of 2003.

 

Service charges on deposit accounts and on other types of services are the major source of noninterest income to the Company.  This source of income increased $280,000, or 13.9%, from $2,015,000 during the second quarter of 2002 to $2,295,000 during the second quarter of 2003, and increased $482,000, or 12.6%, from $3,837,000 for the first

 

13



 

six months of 2002 to $4,319,000 for the first six months of 2003. The increase in service charges on deposit accounts was primarily due to stricter collection policies enforced by management during 2003.

 

Trust fees from the operation of the trust department of the Company increased $23,000, or 18.7%, from $123,000 during the second quarter of 2002 to $146,000 during the same period in 2003, and increased $38,000, or 15.1%, from $252,000 for the first six months of 2002 to $290,000 for the first six months of 2003.  The increase is primarily a result of the growth of the client base in the trust department.

 

Gain on sale of loans increased $354,000, or 71.2%, from $497,000 during the second quarter of 2002 to $851,000 during the second quarter of 2003 and increased $752,000, or 86.1%, from $873,000 for the first six months of 2002 to $1,625,000 for the first six months of 2003.  The increase is primarily due to an increase in loans originated and sold during the period ended June 30, 2003 as compared to the period ended June 30, 2002.

 

Other income is the sum of several components of noninterest income including other customer service fees, brokerage service fees, credit and debit card income, safe deposit box rental income, Bank Owned Life Insurance (“BOLI”) income and other sources of miscellaneous income. Other income increased $73,000, or 9.3%, from $786,000 during the second quarter of 2002 to $859,000 during the second quarter of 2003, and increased $49,000, or 3.1%, from $1,602,000 for the first six months of 2002 to $1,651,000 for the corresponding period in 2003.  The increase in 2003 is primarily due to income generated from additional BOLI, which was purchased late in the second quarter of 2002.

 

Noninterest Expenses

 

Total noninterest expenses increased $27,000, or 0.3%, from $10,951,000 during the second quarter of 2002 to $10,978,000 during the second quarter of 2003, and increased $1,037,000, or 4.7%, from $22,045,000 during the first six months of 2002 to $23,082,000 during the first six months of 2003.

 

Salaries and employee benefits, the largest single component of noninterest expense, increased $429,000, or 8.6%, from $4,998,000 for the second quarter of 2002 to $5,427,000 for the corresponding period of 2003, and increased $1,026,000, or 10.4%, from $9,872,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2002, to $10,898,000 for the corresponding period of 2003. The increase between the six month periods ended June 30, 2002 and June 30, 2003 was primarily a result of annual raises, increases in commission based wages generated from non-interest income and increased costs related to medical benefits.

 

Net occupancy expense decreased $247,000, or 12.2%, from $2,030,000 for the second quarter of 2002 to $1,783,000 for the same period in 2003, and decreased $151,000, or 3.9%, from $3,921,000 for the first six months of 2002 to $3,770,000 for the first six months of 2003.  The decrease in net occupancy expense is primarily due to costs recorded in the second quarter of 2002 associated with the removal of old documents and data.  Document retention policies were reviewed and it was determined that older documents and data which were no longer required to be retained, were able to be destroyed and removed.  Several storage facilities, which held some of these very old records, were cleaned out and many of the old documents were eliminated or moved to different storage facilities.  The decrease in expense is also related to clean up costs recorded in the second quarter of 2002 associated with an event of flooding that occurred at one of the Abilene branches.

 

Amortization of intangible assets decreased $88,000, or 11.6%, from $761,000 during the second quarter of 2002 to $673,000 during the second quarter of 2003, and decreased $176,000, or 11.6%, from $1,522,000 for the first six months of 2002 to $1,346,000 for the first six months of 2003.  As core deposit intangibles are amortized using an accelerated method, the amortization expense will decrease each year over the first half of the life of the core deposit intangible balance.

 

Professional fees, which include legal, accounting and other professional fees, decreased $68,000, or 22.4%, from $303,000 during the second quarter of 2002 to $235,000 during the second quarter of 2003 and decreased $155,000, or 25.0%, from $620,000 during the first six months of 2002 to $465,000 for the corresponding period of 2003.  The decrease is due primarily to collection efforts occurring during the second quarter of 2002 as well as legal expenses related to the sale of the branches.

 

Communication expense decreased $113,000, or 28.8%, from $392,000 in the second quarter of 2002 to $279,000 in the second quarter of 2003, and decreased $153,000, or 19.0%, from $805,000 in the first six months of 2002 to

 

14



 

$652,000 for the corresponding period of 2003.  The decrease is primarily due to cost saving measures implemented by management in late 2002.

 

Data processing expense decreased $234,000, or 57.8%, from $405,000 in the second quarter of 2002 to $171,000 in the second quarter of 2003, and decreased $284,000, or 32.3%, from $879,000 in the first six months of 2002 to $595,000 for the corresponding period of 2003.  The decrease is primarily due to cost saving benefits derived from the Merger.

 

Distributions on guaranteed preferred beneficial interests in the Company’s subordinated debentures totaled $280,000 for the second quarter of 2002 and 2003, and totaled $560,000 for the first six month of 2002 and $561,000 for the first six months of 2003.

 

Net costs applicable to other real estate and other repossessed assets consist of expenses associated with holding and maintaining repossessed assets, the net gain or loss on the sales of such assets, the write-down of the carrying value of the assets and any rental income that is credited as a reduction in expense. The Company recorded net costs of $2,000 in the second quarter of 2003 as compared to net revenues of $10,000 in the second quarter of 2002 and recorded net costs of $131,000 for the first six months of 2003 as compared to net costs of $9,000 for the same period in 2002.  The increase is primarily related to large commercial properties that were foreclosed on in the fourth quarter of 2002 which incur significant month to month operating expenses.  The costs were offset by a gain recorded on the sale of property in the second quarter which was obtained many years ago by a bank eventually acquired by the Company.  These assets had been written off due to the length of time the assets had been possessed, so the entire sale was recorded as a gain.

 

Merger-related expenses increased from none in the second quarter of 2002 to $28,000 the second quarter of 2003 and increased from none the first six months of 2002 to $780,000 in the same period in 2003.  The merger related expenses recorded during the first six months of 2003 were related to the Merger.

 

Other noninterest expense includes, among many other items, stationary, printing and supplies expense, advertising and business development expense, postage, loan and collection expenses, armored car and courier fees, travel, insurance, ATM transaction expenses, regulatory examinations, franchise taxes, dues and subscriptions, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance expense and directors’ fees.  These expenses increased $308,000, or 17.2%, from $1,792,000 during the second quarter of 2002 to $2,100,000 during the second quarter of 2003, and increased $27,000, or 0.7%, from $3,857,000 for the first six months of 2002 to $3,884,000 for the first six months of 2003.  The increase in other expenses is primarily related to a large advertising campaign initiated in the second quarter of 2003.

 

Federal Income Taxes

 

The Company recorded a federal income tax expense of $1,284,000 in the second quarter of 2002 compared to $1,839,000 in federal income tax expense in the second quarter of 2003, and recorded a federal income tax expense of $2,698,000 in the first six months of 2002 as compared to $2,949,000 in federal income tax expense in the same period for 2003.  The increase in tax expense from the quarter and six month period ended June 30, 2002 to the quarter and six month period ended June 30, 2003 was due to higher income before federal income taxes.

 

Impact of Inflation

 

The effects of inflation on the local economy and on the Company’s operating results have been relatively modest during the past several years. Because substantially all of the Company’s assets and liabilities are monetary in nature, such as cash, securities, loans and deposits, their values are less sensitive to the effects of inflation than to changing interest rates, which do not necessarily change in accordance with inflation rates. The Company tries to control the impact of interest rate fluctuations by managing the relationship between its interest rate-sensitive assets and liabilities. See “Analysis of Financial Condition—Interest Rate Sensitivity” herein.

Analysis of Financial Condition

 

Assets

 

Total assets decreased $17,772,000, or 1.6%, from $1,141,677,000 at December 31, 2002, to $1,123,905,000 at June 30, 2003.  This decrease is primarily due to a decrease in deposits resulting from conservative deposit pricing and an overall decline in deposit rates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The amount of total cash, due from banks and interest-earning time deposits decreased $2,385,000, or 2.8%, from $84,224,000 at December 31, 2002, to $81,839,000 at June 30, 2003. The decrease during the period is due primarily to the seasonality of the cash balances from December 31, 2002 to June 30, 2003.

 

Securities

 

Securities decreased $36,100,000, or 13.2%, from $274,342,000 at December 31, 2002, to $238,242,000 at June 30, 2003, due primarily to shrinkage of the deposit balance.

 

The Board of Directors of the Company reviews all securities transactions monthly and the securities portfolio periodically. The Company’s current investment policy provides for the purchase of U.S. Treasury securities, U.S. government agency securities, mortgage-backed securities having average maturities of twelve years or less and for the purchase of state, county and municipal agencies’ securities with an average life no greater than 10 years. The Company’s policy is to maintain a securities portfolio with staggered maturities to meet its overall liquidity needs. Municipal securities must be rated A or better. Certain school district issues, however, are acceptable with a Baa rating.  All securities totaling $238,242,000 are classified as available-for-sale and are carried at fair value at June 30, 2003. The decision to sell securities classified as available-for-sale is based upon management’s assessment of changes in economic or financial market conditions.

 

Certain of the Company’s securities are pledged to secure public and trust fund deposits and for other purposes required or permitted by law. At June 30, 2003, the book value of U.S. Treasury and other U.S. Government agency securities so pledged amounted to $90,215,000, or 37.9% of the total securities portfolio.

The following table provides the maturity distribution and weighted average interest rates of the Company’s total securities portfolio at June 30, 2003. The yield has been computed by relating the forward income stream on the securities, plus or minus the anticipated amortization of premiums or accretion of discounts, to the carrying value of the securities. The book value of previous securities classified as held-to-maturity was their cost, adjusted for previous amortization or accretion. The restatement of the yields on tax-exempt securities to a fully taxable-equivalent basis has been computed assuming a tax rate of 34%.

Loans Held-for-Sale Portfolio

 

Loans held-for-sale, which primarily consist of home mortgage loans, are those loans which the Company has the intent to sell in the foreseeable future.  They are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or market value.  Gains and losses on sales of loans are recognized at settlement dates and are determined by the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying value of the loans.  All sales are made without recourse.  Loans held-for-sale decreased $6,777,000 or 43.8% from $15,475,000 at December 31, 2002 to $8,698,000 at June 30, 2003.  The decrease is related to an increase in the turnover rate of the loans held-for-sale.

 

Loan Held-for-Investment Portfolio

 

Total loans, net of unearned income, increased $28,484,000, or 4.3%, from $658,867,000 at December 31, 2002 to $687,351,000 at June 30, 2003.

 

The Bank primarily makes commercial loans to small to medium sized businesses and professionals.  The Bank offers a variety of commercial and real estate lending products including revolving lines of credit, letters of credit, working capital loans and loans to finance accounts receivable, inventory and equipment, commercial real estate purchase loans, construction loans, refinance loans and various types of agriculture loans. Typically, the Bank’s

 

17



 

commercial loans have floating rates of interest, are for varying terms (generally not exceeding five years), are personally guaranteed by the principal owner and are collateralized by real estate, accounts receivable, inventory or other business assets.  Due to customer demand, the Bank also makes installment loans to individuals.

Loan concentrations are considered to exist when there are amounts loaned to a multiple number of borrowers engaged in similar activities that would cause them to be similarly impacted by economic or other conditions. The Company had no concentrations of loans at June 30, 2003, except for those described above and a geographic concentration of loans in West and North Texas. The Bank had loans outstanding to foreign countries or borrowers headquartered in foreign countries totaling $11,592,000 at June 30, 2003.

 

Management of the Company may renew loans at maturity when requested by a customer whose financial strength appears to support such renewal or when such renewal appears to be in the Company’s best interest. The Company requires payment of accrued interest in such instances and may adjust the rate of interest, require a principal reduction or modify other terms of the loan at the time of renewal.

 

The following table presents the distribution of the maturity of the Company’s loans and the interest rate sensitivity of those loans, excluding loans to individuals, at June 30, 2003. The table also presents the portion of loans that have fixed interest rates or interest rates that fluctuate over the life of the loans in accordance with changes in the money market environment as represented by the prime rate.

Allowance for Loan Losses

 

Implicit in the Company’s lending activities is the fact that loan losses will be experienced and that the risk of loss will vary with the type of loan being made and the creditworthiness of the borrower over the term of the loan. To reflect the currently perceived risk of loss associated with the Company’s loan portfolio, additions are made to the

 

18



 

Company’s allowance for loan losses (the “allowance”). The allowance is created by direct charges against income (the “provision” for loan losses), and the allowance is available to absorb probable loan losses. See “Analysis of Results of Operations - Provision for Loan Losses” above.

 

The allowance is reduced by loan charge-offs, increased by recoveries of loans previously charged off and increased or decreased by the loan loss provision necessary to arrive at a balance determined by management to be appropriate.  The Company’s allowance was $10,854,000, or 1.6% of loans, net of unearned income, at June 30, 2003, compared to $10,914,000, or 1.7% of loans, net of unearned income, at December 31, 2002.

 

Credit and loan decisions are made by management and the Board of Directors of the Company in conformity with loan policies established by the Board of Directors of the Company. The Company’s practice is to charge off any loan or portion of a loan when it is determined by management to be uncollectible due to the borrower’s failure to meet repayment terms, the borrower’s deteriorating or deteriorated financial condition, the depreciation of the underlying collateral, the loan’s classification as a loss by regulatory examiners or for other reasons. The Company charged off $485,000 and $669,000 in loans during the second quarter and first six months of 2003, respectively. Recoveries during the second quarter and first six months of 2003 were $243,000 and $491,000, respectively.

 

The following table presents the provisions for loan losses, loans charged off and recoveries on loans previously charged off, the amount of the allowance, the average loans outstanding and certain pertinent ratios for the quarters and six-month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002.

The amount of the allowance is established by management, based upon estimated risks inherent in the existing loan portfolio. The allowance is comprised of three components: specific reserves on specific problem loans, historical loss percentages applied to pools of loans with similar characteristics, and an unallocated portion. Management reviews the loan portfolio on a continuing basis to evaluate probable problem loans. This review encompasses management’s estimate of current economic conditions and the potential impact on various industries, prior loan loss experience and the financial conditions of individual borrowers. Loans that have been specifically identified as problem or nonperforming loans are reviewed on at least a quarterly basis, and management critically evaluates the prospect of ultimate losses arising from such loans, based on the borrower’s financial condition and the value of available collateral.  When a risk can be specifically quantified for a loan, that amount is specifically allocated in the allowance. In addition, the Company allocates the allowance based upon the historical loan loss experience of the different types of loans. Despite such allocation, both the allocated and unallocated portions of the allowance are available for charge-offs for all loans.

 

At June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, loans identified as being impaired consisted of loans placed on non-accrual status.

 

At June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, the recorded investment in loans that are considered to be impaired under FAS 114 was approximately $7,190,000 and $8,529,000, respectively.  Included in this amount at June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, was approximately $7,036,000 and $8,389,000, respectively, of impaired loans for which the related specific reserve for loan losses was approximately $1,577,000 and $1,867,000, respectively.  Impaired loans of $154,000 and $140,000 at June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively, did not have a specific reserve for loan losses.

Loan Review Process

 

The Company follows a loan review program to evaluate the credit risk in its loan portfolio. Through the loan review process, the Bank maintains an internally classified loan list that, along with the list of nonperforming loans discussed below, helps management assess the overall quality of the loan portfolio and the adequacy of the allowance. Loans classified as “substandard” are those loans with clear and defined weaknesses such as highly leveraged positions, unfavorable financial ratios, uncertain repayment sources, involvement in bankruptcy proceedings or poor financial condition, which may jeopardize recoverability of the loan. Loans classified as “doubtful” are those loans that have characteristics similar to substandard loans, but also have an increased risk that a loss may occur or at least a portion of the loan may require a charge-off if liquidated at present. Although loans classified as substandard do not duplicate loans classified as doubtful, both substandard and doubtful loans may include some loans that are past due at least 90 days, are on nonaccrual status or have been restructured. Loans classified as “loss” are those loans that are usually in the process of being charged off. There were no loans designated as loss at June 30, 2003.

 

20



 

In addition to the internally classified loans, the Bank also has a “watch list” of loans that further assists management in monitoring its loan portfolio. A loan is included on the watch list if it demonstrates one or more deficiencies requiring attention in the near term or if the loan’s ratios have weakened to a point where more frequent monitoring is warranted. These loans do not have all the characteristics of a classified loan (substandard, doubtful or loss), but do have weakened elements as compared with those of a satisfactory credit. Management of the Bank reviews these loans to assist in assessing the adequacy of the allowance. Substantially all of the loans on the watch list at June 30, 2003 were current and paying in accordance with loan terms. See “Nonperforming Assets” below.

 

Nonperforming Assets

 

Nonperforming loans consist of nonaccrual, past due and restructured loans. A past due loan is an accruing loan that is contractually past due 90 days or more as to principal or interest payments. Loans on which management does not expect to collect interest in the normal course of business are placed on nonaccrual or are restructured. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, any interest previously accrued but not yet collected is reversed against current income unless, in the opinion of management, the outstanding interest remains collectible. Thereafter, interest is included in income only to the extent of cash received. A loan is restored to accrual status when all interest and principal payments are current and the borrower has demonstrated to management the ability to make payments of principal and interest as scheduled.

 

A “troubled debt restructuring” is a restructured loan upon which interest accrues at a below market rate or upon which certain principal has been forgiven so as to aid the borrower in the final repayment of the loan, with any interest previously accrued, but not yet collected, being reversed against current income. Interest is accrued based upon the new loan terms.

 

Nonperforming loans are fully or substantially collateralized by assets, with any excess of loan balances over collateral values allocated in the allowance. Assets acquired through foreclosure are carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value, net of estimated costs of disposal, if any. See “Other Real Estate and Other Repossessed Assets” below.

 

Foreclosures on defaulted loans result in the Company acquiring other real estate and other repossessed assets. Accordingly, the Company incurs other expenses, specifically net costs applicable to other real estate and other repossessed assets, in maintaining, insuring and selling such assets. The Company attempts to convert nonperforming loans into interest-earning assets, although usually at a lower dollar amount than the face value of such loans, either through liquidation of the collateral securing the loan or through intensified collection efforts.

 

The following table lists nonaccrual, past due and restructured loans and other real estate and other repossessed assets at June 30, 2003, and December 31, 2002.

The gross interest income that would have been recorded during the second quarter and first six months of 2003 on the Company’s nonaccrual loans if such loans had been current, in accordance with the original terms thereof and outstanding throughout the period or, if shorter, since origination, was approximately $139,000 and $301,000, respectively.  Interest income totaling $10,000 was recorded (received) on loans that were on nonaccrual during the six month period ended June 30, 2003.

repayment terms and which may result in the inclusion of such loan in one of the nonperforming asset categories. The Company does not believe it has any potential problem loans other than those reported in the previous table or those included on the watch list as discussed above.

 

Intangible Assets

 

Intangible assets decreased $1,389,000, or 2.6%, from $54,261,000 at December 31, 2002, to $52,872,000 at June 30, 2003. This decrease was primarily due to core deposit intangible amortization expense recorded during the first six months of 2003.

Each October, the fair value of the Company is calculated through a combination of the market comparison, asset value, earnings value and acquisition analysis methods by a third party to determine if an impairment should be recorded.  As of October 1, 2002, based on the fair value assessment of the Company by a third party, the Company’s fair value exceeded the book value and as such an impairment was not recorded.

 

Premises and Equipment

 

Premises and equipment increased $1,599,000, or 6.4%, during the first six months of 2003, from $24,944,000 at December 31, 2003, to $26,543,000 at June 30, 2003. The increase was primarily due to the purchase of the building in Lubbock which houses the Bank’s operations as well as the upgrade of the Company’s computer system.  These additions were partially offset by depreciation recorded during the first quarter of 2003 of $1,547,000.

 

Accrued Interest Receivable

 

Accrued interest receivable consists of interest that has accrued on securities and loans, but is not yet payable under the terms of the related agreements. The balance of accrued interest receivable decreased $969,000, or 13.8%, from $7,044,000 at December 31, 2002, to $6,075,000 at June 30, 2003. The decrease was primarily a result of the

 

22



 

seasonal paydown of interest on loans.  Of the total balance at June 30, 2003, $3,437,000, or 56.6%, was interest accrued on loans and $2,638,000, or 43.4%, was interest accrued on securities. The amounts of accrued interest receivable and percentages attributable to loans and securities at December 31, 2002, were $3,934,000, or 55.9%, and $3,110,000, or 44.1%, respectively.

 

Other Real Estate and Other Repossessed Assets

 

Other real estate and other repossessed assets consist of real property and other assets unrelated to banking premises or facilities. Income derived from other real estate and other repossessed assets, if any, is generally less than that which would have been earned as interest at the original contract rates on the related loans. At June 30, 2003, and December 31, 2002, other real estate and other repossessed assets had an aggregate book value of $4,096,000 and $3,703,000, respectively. Other real estate and other repossessed assets increased $393,000, or 10.6%, during the first six months of 2003.  Of the June 30, 2003 balance, $3,422,000 represents thirteen commercial and agricultural properties, $656,000 represents five residential properties, and $18,000 represents nine repossessed vehicles and other equipment.

 

Other Assets

 

The balance of other assets decreased $208,000, or 0.7%, from $29,251,000 at December 31, 2002 to $29,043,000 at June 30, 2003.

 

Deposits

 

The Company’s lending and investing activities are funded almost entirely by core deposits, 65.1% of which are demand, savings and money market deposits at June 30, 2003. Total deposits decreased $10,964,000, or 1.1%, from $964,714,000 at December 31, 2002, to $953,750,000 at June 30, 2003. The reduction in the deposit balance was primarily due to decreases in interest rates paid on time deposit accounts causing a lower demand for these accounts. The reduction was one which management planned, specifically in an effort to realign the deposit mix.  The Company does not have any brokered deposits.

Time deposits of $100,000 or more are a more volatile and costly source of funds than other deposits and are most likely to affect the Company’s future earnings because of interest rate sensitivity. At June 30, 2003, and December 31, 2002, deposits of $100,000 or more represented approximately 14.4% and 16.1%, respectively, of the Company’s total assets.

 

Fed Funds Purchased and Securities Sold Under Agreement to Repurchase

 

The balance of fed funds purchased and securities sold under agreement to repurchase increased $2,248,000, or 10.8%, from $20,762,000 at December 31, 2002 to $23,010,000 at June 30, 2003.

 

Accrued Interest Payable

 

Accrued interest payable consists of interest that has accrued on deposits, but is not yet payable under the terms of the related agreements. The balance of accrued interest payable decreased $240,000, or 23.8%, from $1,009,000 at December 31, 2002, to $769,000 at June 30, 2003, due to a decrease in interest-bearing deposit balances as well as decreases in interest rates being paid on interest-bearing time deposits during the first six months of 2003.

 

Notes Payable

 

The note payable balance consists of advances of approximately $1,068,000 and $789,000, at June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively, from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Dallas (the “FHLB”).  These advances represent seven separate notes with interest rates ranging from 2.65% to 5.45%, maturities ranging from January 2008 to February 2018, and are collateralized by a blanket floating lien on all securities held in safekeeping by the FHLB, the FHLB capital stock owned by the Bank, and any funds on deposit with the FHLB.

 

Other Liabilities

 

The most significant components of other liabilities are amounts accrued for various types of expenses and current and deferred federal income taxes payable. The balance of other liabilities decreased $13,000 or 0.1.%, from $9,525,000 at December 31, 2002, to $9,512,000 at June 30, 2003.

 

Guaranteed Preferred Beneficial Interests in the Company’s Subordinated Debentures

 

Independent Capital sold 1,300,000 shares of Trust Preferred Securities at $10.00 per preferred security in an underwritten offering in 1998.  The proceeds from the sale of the Trust Preferred Securities were used by Independent Capital to purchase an equivalent amount of Subordinated Debentures of the Company.  The Trust Preferred Securities carry a distribution rate of 8.5%, have a stated maturity of September 22, 2028, and are guaranteed by State National.  The securities are redeemable at par on or after September 22, 2003.

 

State National recently issued $15,000,000 in Trust Preferred Securities with the intent of using a portion of the net proceeds to redeem Independent Capital’s Trust Preferred Securities on September 22, 2003 (the “Redemption Date”).  Independent Capital will redeem all of its 8.5% Cumulative Trust Preferred Securities and its 8.5% Common Securities at a redemption price equal to the $10.00 liquidation amount of each security plus all accrued and unpaid interest per security up to the Redemption Date.  The Bank of New York, property trustee of the Trust Preferred Securities, will notify the holders of the Trust Preferred Securities.

Interest Rate Sensitivity

 

Interest rate risk arises when an interest-earning asset matures or when its rate of interest changes in a time frame different from that of the supporting interest-bearing liability. The Company seeks to minimize the difference between the amount of interest-earning assets and the amount of interest-bearing liabilities that could change interest rates in the same time frame in an attempt to reduce the risk of significant adverse effects on the Company’s net interest income caused by interest rate changes. The Company does not attempt to match each interest-earning asset with a specific interest-bearing liability. Instead, as shown in the following table, it aggregates all of its interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities to determine the difference between the two in specific time frames. This difference is known as the rate-sensitivity gap. A company is considered to be asset sensitive, or having a positive gap, when the amount of interest earning-assets maturing or repricing within a given period exceeds the amount of its interest-bearing liabilities also maturing or repricing within that time period.  Conversely, a company is considered to be liability sensitive, or having a negative gap, when the amount of its interest-bearing liabilities maturing or repricing within a given time period exceeds the amount of its interest-earning assets also maturing or repricing within that time period.  During a period of rising interest rates, a negative gap would tend to affect net income adversely, while a positive gap would tend to result in an increase in net interest income.  During a period of falling interest rates, a negative gap would tend to result in an increase in net interest income, while a positive gap would tend to affect net interest income adversely.  Maintaining a balanced position will reduce risk associated with interest rate changes, but it will not guarantee a stable interest rate spread because the various rates within a time frame may change by differing amounts and occasionally change in different directions. Management regularly monitors the interest sensitivity position and considers this position in its decisions in regard to interest rates and maturities for interest-earning assets acquired and interest-bearing liabilities accepted.

 

In adjusting the Company’s asset/liability position, management attempts to manage the Company’s interest rate risk while enhancing net interest margins.  The rates, terms and interest rate indices of the Company’s interest-earning assets result primarily from the Company’s strategy of investing in loans and securities, which permit the Company to limit its exposure to interest rate risk, together with credit risk, while at the same time achieving a positive and relatively stable interest rate spread from the difference between the income earned on interest-earning assets and the cost of interest-bearing liabilities.

 

The Company’s ratios of interest-sensitive assets to interest-sensitive liabilities, as shown in the following table, are 87.4% at the 90-day interval, 86.5% at the 180-day interval and 93.2% at the 365-day interval at June 30, 2003. Currently, the Company is in a liability-sensitive position at the three intervals. However, the Company had $342,050,000 of interest-bearing demand, savings and money market deposits at June 30, 2003, on which, from the Company’s experience, interest rates change more slowly. Therefore, excluding these types of deposits, the Company’s interest-sensitive assets to interest-sensitive liabilities ratio at the 365-day interval would have been 193.9% at June 30, 2003. The interest sensitivity position is presented as of a point in time and can be modified to some extent by management as changing conditions dictate.

Liquidity

 

The Bank

 

Liquidity with respect to a financial institution is the ability to meet its short-term needs for cash without suffering an unfavorable impact on its on-going operations.  The need for the Bank to maintain funds on hand arises principally from maturities of short-term borrowings, deposit withdrawals, customers’ borrowing needs and the maintenance of reserve requirements.  Liquidity with respect to a financial institution can be met from either assets or liabilities.  On the asset side, the primary sources of liquidity are cash and due from banks, federal funds sold, maturities of securities and scheduled repayments and maturities of loans.  The Bank maintains adequate levels of cash and near-cash investments to meet its day-to-day needs.  Cash and due from banks averaged $45,697,000 and $45,888,000 during the second quarter and first six months of 2003, respectively, and $56,510,000 and $57,213,000 during the second quarter and first six months of 2002, respectively.  These amounts comprised 4.1% of average total assets during the second quarter and first six months of 2003, respectively, and 4.9% and 4.8% of average total assets during the second quarter and first six months of 2002, respectively.

 

27



 

The average level of securities, interest-earning time deposits in other banks and federal funds sold was $280,338,000 and $289,295,000 during the second quarter and first six months of 2003, respectively, and $368,056,000 and $377,303,000 during the second quarter and first six months of 2002, respectively.

 

There were no securities sold during the quarter and the six month period ended June 30, 2003.  A total of $536,000 and $6,868,000 of securities classified as available-for-sale were sold during the six month period ended June 30, 2003 and June 30, 2002, respectively.  At June 30, 2003, $64,111,000, or 41.5%, of the Company’s securities portfolio, excluding mortgage-backed securities, matured within one year, and $81,525,000, or 52.7%, excluding mortgage-backed securities, matured after one but within five years. The Bank’s commercial and real estate lending activities are concentrated in loans with maturities of less than five years with both fixed and adjustable interest rates, while its installment lending activities are concentrated in loans with maturities of three to five years and with primarily fixed interest rates.  At June 30, 2003, approximately $461,558,000, or 67.2%, of the Company’s loans, net of unearned income, matured within one year and/or had adjustable interest rates. Approximately $446,360,000, or 68.8%, of the Company’s loans (excluding loans to individuals) matured within one year and/or had adjustable interest rates. See “Analysis of Financial Condition - Loan Portfolio” above.

 

On the liability side, the principal sources of liquidity are deposits, borrowed funds and the accessibility to money and capital markets. Customer deposits are by far the largest source of funds. During the second quarter and first six months of 2003, the Company’s average deposits were $932,961,000 and $939,038,000, or 83.7% and 84.0%, of average total assets, respectively, compared to $961,528,000 and $973,820,000, or 82.8% and 82.3% of average total assets, respectively, during the second quarter and first six months of 2002. The Company attracts its deposits primarily from individuals and businesses located within its market areas. See “Analysis of Financial Condition - Deposits” above.

 

The Company

 

The Company depends on the Bank for liquidity in the form of cash flow, primarily to meet distribution requirements on the Company’s subordinated debentures, which payments, in turn, are used to meet distribution requirements on Independent Capital’s Trust Preferred Securities and to cover other operating expenses. The Company’s immediate liquidity needs have been and can continue to be satisfied by advances from the Company’s parent company.

 

The payment of dividends to the Company is subject to applicable law and the scrutiny of regulatory authorities.  Cash paid by the Bank to Independent Financial during the second quarter and first six months of 2003 was $10,000,000 by means of a capital reduction at the Bank.  As discussed below, there are dividend restrictions placed on the Bank by regulatory authorities.  However, due to the fact that the impairment of goodwill is excluded from regulatory capital calculations, the Bank had adequate regulatory capital.  Management and the Board of Directors determined that it was in the best interest of the Bank, the Company and State National to have a capital reduction at the Bank and contribute those funds to the Company which in turn contributed most of the funds to State National in the form of a dividend to be used to fund possible future acquisitions and provide for general corporate liquidity needs.  As such, during the second quarter and first six months of 2003, Independent Financial and Independent Capital paid dividends to the Company totaling $10,009,000 and $10,017,000, respectively.  There were no dividends paid by the Bank to Independent Financial during the second quarter and first six months of 2002, respectively.  SNB El Paso paid dividend of $1,000,000 and $2,000,000 to State National prior to the Merger in the second quarter and first six months of 2002, respectively.  Independent Financial and Independent Capital paid dividends to the Company of $9,000 and $17,000, respectively, during the same time periods. At June 30, 2003, there were no dividends available for payment to Independent Financial by the Bank without first obtaining regulatory approval.

 

Current tax liabilities totaling $2,004,000 and $3,252,000 were paid by the Bank to the Company during the second quarter and the six month period ended June 30, 2003, respectively and current tax liabilities totaling $1,654,000   and $2,902,000 were paid by the Bank to the Company during the corresponding time period for 2002.

 

Capital Resources

 

At June 30, 2003, stockholders’ equity totaled $124,853,000, or 11.1% of total assets, compared to $129,990,000, or 11.4% of total assets, at December 31, 2002.

Bank regulatory authorities in the United States have risk-based capital standards by which all bank holding companies and banks are evaluated in terms of capital adequacy. These guidelines relate a banking company’s capital to the risk profile of its assets. The risk-based capital standards require all banking companies to have Tier 1 capital of at least 4% and total capital (Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital) of at least 8% of risk-weighted assets, and to be designated as well-capitalized, the banking company must have Tier 1 and total capital ratios of at least 6% and 10%, respectively. For the Company, Tier 1 capital includes common stockholders’ equity (net of available for sale fair value adjustment) and qualifying guaranteed preferred beneficial interests in the Company’s subordinated debentures, reduced by intangible assets net of the deferred tax liability associated with the core deposit intangible, and any deferred tax asset disallowed for regulatory capital purposes. For the Company, Tier 2 capital is comprised of the remainder of the guaranteed preferred beneficial interests in the Company’s subordinated debentures not qualifying for Tier 1 capital and the qualifying amount of the allowance for loan losses.

 

Banking regulators also have leverage ratio requirements. The leverage ratio requirement is measured as the ratio of Tier 1 capital to adjusted quarterly average assets. The leverage ratio standards require all banking companies to have a minimum leverage ratio of at least 4% and to be designated as well-capitalized, the banking company must have a leverage ratio of at least 5%. The following table provides a calculation of the Company’s risk-based capital and leverage ratios and a comparison of the Company’s and the Bank’s risk-based capital ratios and leverage ratios to the minimum regulatory and well-capitalized minimum requirements at June 30, 2003.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (“FDICIA”) requires each federal banking agency to revise its risk-based capital standards to ensure that those standards take adequate account of interest rate risk, concentration of credit risk and the risks of non-traditional activities, as well as reflect the actual performance and expected risk of loss on multi-family mortgages. This law also requires each federal banking agency to specify the levels at which an insured institution would be considered “well capitalized,” “adequately capitalized,” “undercapitalized,” “significantly undercapitalized” and “critically undercapitalized.” Under the FDIC’s regulations, the Company and the Bank were both “well capitalized” at June 30, 2003.

The Company’s ability to generate capital internally through retention of earnings and access to capital markets is essential for satisfying the capital guidelines for bank holding companies as prescribed by the Federal Reserve.

 

The payment of dividends on the Common Stock is determined by the Company’s Board of Directors in light of circumstances and conditions then existing, including the earnings of the Company and the Bank, funding requirements and financial condition and applicable laws and regulations. The Company’s ability to pay cash dividends is restricted by the requirement that it maintain a certain level of capital as discussed above in accordance with regulatory guidelines. The Federal Reserve has promulgated a policy prohibiting bank holding companies from paying dividends on common stock unless such bank holding company can pay such dividends from current earnings.
