WILLOW GROVE BANCORP, INC.

 

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1.             Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Description of Business

 

Willow Grove Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) is a Pennsylvania corporation and parent holding company for Willow Grove Bank, a federally chartered savings bank (the “Bank” or “Willow Grove”). The Bank has 14 branches in Dresher, Willow Grove, Maple Glen, Warminster (2), Hatboro, Huntington Valley, Roslyn, Philadelphia (3 – Somerton, Rhawnhurst and Bustleton), North Wales, Southampton and Holland, Pennsylvania.  All of the branches are full-service and offer commercial and retail banking products and services.  These products include checking accounts (interest and non-interest bearing), savings accounts, certificates of deposit, business loans, real estate loans, and home equity loans.  The Company is subject to competition from other financial institutions and other companies that provide financial services.  The Company is subject to the regulations of certain federal banking agencies and undergoes periodic examinations by those regulatory authorities.  On April 3, 2002 Willow Grove Bank completed its “second-step” reorganization from the two-tier mutual holding company form of organization to the stock form of organization (the “April 2002 Reorganization”).

 

In September 2000, Willow Grove Investment Corporation (“WGIC”), a Delaware corporation, was formed as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Bank to conduct certain investment activities of the Bank. In May 2003, Willow Grove Insurance Agency, LLC (the “Agency”), a Pennsylvania limited liability company, was formed by the Bank to sell fixed rate annuity products on a retail basis for the Bank.

 

As previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, dated as of January 20, 2005, as amended, the Company and Chester Valley Bancorp, Inc. (“Chester Valley”) announced that they had entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of January 20, 2005 (the “Merger Agreement”), which sets forth the terms and conditions pursuant to which Chester Valley will be merged with and into Willow Grove (the “Merger”).  The Merger Agreement provides, among other things, that as a result of the Merger each outstanding share of common stock of Chester Valley, par value $1.00 per share (“Chester Valley Common Stock”), (subject to certain exceptions) will be converted into the right to receive either $27.90 in cash or 1.4823 shares of common stock of Willow Grove, par value $0.01 per share (“Willow Grove Common Stock”), plus cash in lieu of any fractional share interest, subject to the election and allocation procedures set forth in the Agreement which are intended to ensure that approximately 64.8% of the outstanding shares of Chester Valley Common Stock will be converted into the right to receive Willow Grove Common Stock and 35.2% of the outstanding shares of Chester Valley Common Stock will be converted into the right to receive cash.  Consummation of the Merger is subject to a number of customary conditions, including, but not limited to, (i) the approval of the Agreement by the shareholders of both Willow Grove and Chester Valley and (ii) the receipt of requisite regulatory approvals of the Merger and the proposed merger of Chester Valley’s banking subsidiary, First Financial Bank (“First Financial”), with and into Willow Grove Bank following consummation of the Merger.  The merger agreement will be considered and voted on by each company’s shareholders at special meetings of shareholders to be held on June 14, 2005 for both Willow Grove Bancorp and Chester Valley Bancorp.  For more information, please refer to the registration statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-123622), including the joint proxy statement/prospectus, filed by Willow Grove Bancorp with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

2.             Basis of Financial Statement Presentation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with instructions to Form 10-Q, and therefore, do not include information or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).  However, all normal, recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a

 

6



 

fair presentation of these financial statements, have been included.  These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto for the Company for the year ended June 30, 2004, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2004 (File No. 000-49706).  The results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending June 30, 2005.

 

The Company has prepared its accompanying consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP applicable to the banking industry.  The consolidated financial statements include the balances of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary.  All material inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Company is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the statement of financial condition and revenue and expense for the period.  Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.  Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near-term include the determination of the allowance for loan losses and income taxes.

The Company has two stock-based option plans described more fully in Note 9 of the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2004.  The Company accounts for both plans under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations.  As a result, stock based employee compensation cost relating to the stock option plans is not reflected in net income, as all options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the underlying common stock on the date of the grant.  The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair

6.             Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and its Application to Certain Investments (“EITF 03-1”)

 

In December 2003, the Emerging Issues Task Force issued EITF 03-1, “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments.”  The EITF addresses disclosure requirements regarding information about temporarily impaired investments.  The requirements are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2003 for all entities that have debt or marketable equity securities with market values below carrying values.  The requirements apply to investments in debt and marketable equity securities that are accounted for under SFAS No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.”  The disclosure requirements apply only to annual financial statements and have been made in the Company’s annual financial statements.

 

On September 30, 2004, the FASB voted unanimously to defer the implementation of the provisions of EITF 03-1 that relate to measurement and recognition of other-than-temporary impairments.  The delay applies to both debt and equity securities and specifically applies to impairments caused by interest rate and sector spreads.  In addition, the provisions of EITF 03-1 that have been delayed relate to the requirements that a company declare its intent to hold the security to recovery and designate a recovery period in order to avoid recognizing an other-than–temporary impairment charge through earnings.  The annual financial statement disclosure provisions of EITF 03-1 were not affected by the September 30, 2004 delay.  The FASB has announced that it will be issuing implementation guidance on this topic.  Once issued, the Company will evaluate the impact of adopting the measurement and recognition provisions of EITF 03-1. 

 

Accounting for Certain Loans or Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer (Statement of Position 03-3)

 

In December 2003, the AICPA’s Accounting Standards Executive Committee (AcSEC) issued SOP 03-3, “Accounting for Certain Loans or Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer”.  SOP 03-3 is effective for loans acquired in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2004, with early adoption encouraged.  A certain transition provision applies for certain aspects of loans currently within the Practice Bulletin 6, Amortization of Discounts on Certain Acquired Loans.  SOP 03-3 addresses accounting for differences between contractual cash flows and cash flows expected to be collected from an investor’s initial investment in loans or debt securities (loans) acquired in a transfer if those differences are attributable, at least in part, to credit quality.  It includes loans acquired in business combinations and applies to all nongovernmental entities, including not-for-profit organizations.  SOP 03-3 does not apply to loans originated by the entity.  Management is in the process of evaluating the potential impact of the proposed statement.

 

 FASB Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment

 

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(Revised), “Share Based Payment” (“Statement 123 (R)”).  This Statement establishes the standards for accounting for share-based payment transactions in which an enterprise receives employee services in exchange for equity instruments of the enterprise or liabilities that are based on the fair value of the enterprise’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments.  Statement 123 (R) requires an entity to recognize the grant-date fair-value of stock options and other equity-based compensation issued to employees in the income statement.  The revised Statement generally requires that an entity account for those transactions using the fair-value based method, and eliminates an entity’s ability to account for share-based compensation transactions using the intrinsic value method of accounting in APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, which was permitted under Statement 123, as originally issued.  Statement 123 (R) is effective for the Company beginning on July 1, 2005.  Management of the Company is in the process of evaluating the potential impact of Statement 123 (R) to the Company’s results of operations.

8.             Dividends

 

On October 26, 2004, the Company declared a cash dividend on its common stock of $0.11 per share, payable on November 22, 2004 to owners of record on November 8, 2004.  On January 25, 2005, the Company declared a cash dividend on its common stock of $0.12 per share, payable on February 18, 2005 to owners of record on February 4, 2005.  Additionally, on April 26, 2005, the Company’s Board of Directors declared an $0.12 per share cash dividend payable May 20, 2005 to shareholders of record on May 6, 2005.

 

9.             Guarantees

 

In the normal course of business, the Company sells loans in the secondary market.  As is customary in such sales, the Company provides indemnification to the buyer under certain circumstances.  This indemnification may include the repurchase of loans by the Company.  In most cases repurchases and losses are rare, and no provision is made for losses at the time of sale.  When repurchases and losses are probable and reasonably estimable, a provision is made in the financial statements for such estimated losses.

 

Since May 12, 2003, the Company entered into two sales and servicing master agreements with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh (“FHLB”).  The agreements allow the Company to sell loans to the FHLB while retaining servicing and providing for a credit enhancement.  Under the terms of the agreements, the Company receives a ten basis point annual fee in exchange for assuming the credit risk on losses in excess of its contractual obligation up to a maximum of $605,000 in the aggregate.  The Company has sold $16.6 million in loans under these agreements and, at March 31, 2005, had a maximum credit risk exposure of $605,000 under such agreements.

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

This Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements and information based upon our beliefs as well as assumptions we have made.  In addition, to those and other portions of this document, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “should,” and similar expressions, or the negative thereof, as they relate to us are intended to identify forward-looking statements.  Such statements reflect our current view with respect to future events and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties, and assumptions.  Factors that could cause future results to vary from current management expectations include, but are not limited to, general economic conditions, legislative and regulatory changes, monetary and fiscal policies of the federal government, changes in the cost of funds, demand for loan products, demand for financial services, competition, changes in the quality or composition of the Company’s loan and investment portfolios, changes in accounting principles, policies or guidelines, and other economic, competitive, governmental and technological factors affecting the Company’s operations, markets, products, services and fees.  Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described herein as anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, or intended.  We do not intend to update these forward-looking statements. In addition, this Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements with respect to the proposed Merger of the Company and Chester Valley.  These forward-looking statements involve certain risks and uncertainties.  Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements include, among others, the following possibilities:  (1) estimated cost savings from the acquisition cannot be fully realized within the expected time frame; (2) revenues following the acquisition are lower than expected; (3) competitive pressure among depository institutions increases significantly; (4) costs or difficulties related to the integration of the businesses of the Company and Chester Valley are greater than expected; (5) changes in the interest rate environment reduce interest margins; (6) general economic conditions, either nationally or in the markets in which the Company will be doing business, are less favorable than expected;(7) shareholder or regulatory approvals are delayed or not received as expected; or (8) legislation or changes in regulatory requirements adversely affect the businesses in which the Company would be engaged.

 

Results of Operations

 

General.  Net income for the three-month period ended March 31, 2005 was $1.2 million.  This compares to net income of $1.5 million for the comparable quarter in the prior year.  Net income for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2005 was $5.0 million compared to net income of $4.6 million for the comparable nine-month period ended March 31, 2004.  Net income for the three-month and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2005 was impacted by $930,000 (pre-tax) of expense recognized as the results of the settlement of certain litigation in the quarter ended March 31, 2005. The Company’s net interest margin on a tax-affected basis increased two basis points to 3.33% for the three months ended March 31, 2005 from 3.31% for the three months ended March 31, 2004.  The net interest margin on a tax-affected basis increased nine basis points to 3.30% for the nine months ended March 31, 2005 from 3.21% for the nine months ended March 31, 2004. The return on average assets for the three-month and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 was 0.49% and 0.69%, respectively, and 0.72% and 0.74%, respectively.  The returns on average equity for the same periods were 4.54% and 6.26%, respectively, and 5.42% and 5.51%, respectively.

 

Net Interest Income.  Net interest income is determined by our average interest rate spread (i.e. the difference between the average yields on interest-earning assets and the average rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities) and also the average amount of interest-earning assets relative to interest-bearing and non-interest-bearing deposit liabilities.

 

Net interest income for the three-month and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2005 was $7.9 million, and $23.1 million, respectively.  This compares to $6.6 million and $19.1 million for the respective prior year comparable periods.  For the three-month and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2005, net interest income increased $1.3 million or 19.8% and $4.0 million or 20.8%, over the prior comparable three-month and nine-month periods.  Net interest income increased primarily as a result of increases in the average balances of the Company’s loan and securities portfolios.  For the three-month and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2005 the Company’s interest rate spread increased two basis points to 2.89% and 14 basis points to 2.90%, respectively, compared to 2.87% and 2.76% for the respective three-month and nine-month periods ending March 31, 2004.

Average interest-earning assets increased $162.3 million and $141.1 million, or 20.1% and 17.6%, respectively, for the three-month and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2005 compared to the respective prior year periods.  Average interest-bearing liabilities for the three-month and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2005 increased $152.9 million and $135.5 million or 23.5% and 21.0%, respectively, over the prior year comparable periods.  The ratio of average interest-earning assets to average interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 120.68% and 121.08%, respectively, for the three-month and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2005 compared to an average 124.10% and 124.66%, respectively, for the three-month and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2004.  The Company continues to aggressively market its core deposit products and, during the three-month and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2005, also increased its utilization of FHLB advances.  The Company’s net interest margin increased two basis points to 3.33% and nine basis points to 3.30%, respectively, for the three-month and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2005 from 3.31% and 3.21%, respectively, for the three-month and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2004. The increase in net interest margin for the three-month and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2005 was primarily the result of an increase in net interest income, which more than offset the decline in the ratio of average interest-earning assets to average interest-bearing liabilities. 

 

The following table presents the average daily balances for various categories of assets and liabilities, and income and expense related to those assets and liabilities for the three-month and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2005 and 2004.  Loans receivable include non-accrual loans.  To adjust nontaxable securities to a taxable equivalent, a 31.0% effective rate has been used for the three-month period ended March 31, 2005 and a 32.0% effective rate has been used for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2005, compared to a 29.0% effective tax rate used for both the three-month and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2004.  The adjustment of tax-exempt securities to a tax equivalent yield in the tables below may be considered a non-GAAP financial measure.  Management believes that it is a relatively standard practice in the banking industry to present net interest margin, net interest spread and net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis.  Therefore, management believes, these measures provide useful information to investors by allowing them to make peer comparisons.  A GAAP reconciliation also is included below.

Although management believes that the above mentioned non-GAAP financial measures enhance investors’ understanding of the Company’s business and performance, these non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered an alternative to GAAP.  The reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures from GAAP to non-GAAP is presented below.

Interest Income.  Interest income on loans increased $1.4 million and $3.7 million, or 19.8% and 16.8%, respectively, for the three-month and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2005 compared to the three-month and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2004. An overall increase in the average loan balances outstanding, which was partially offset by a decrease in average yields earned on loans, for the three-month and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2005 were the primary reasons for the increase in interest income on loans compared to the similar prior year periods.  The average balance of the Company’s loans increased $107.7 million and $114.4 million or 23.0% and 25.7%, respectively, for the three-month and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2005 compared to the three-month and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2004.  The Company’s average yield earned on loans declined by 12 basis points and 45 basis points, respectively, in the three-month and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2005 compared to the respective three-month and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2004.  Interest income on securities increased $1.1 million and $2.7 million or 39.4% and 30.3%, (adjusting the average yield on our tax-exempt securities to 6.53% and 6.49%, respectively, on a tax equivalent basis) for the three-month and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2005 compared to the three-month and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2004.  Increases in the average yields earned on taxable securities combined with increases in the average balances of securities resulted in increased interest income on securities for the three-month and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2005 compared to the three-month and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2004.

 

Interest Expense.  Interest expense on deposit accounts increased $437,000, or 20.8%, for the three-month period ended March 31, 2005 compared to the similar prior year period.  The increase was caused by a combination of an increase in the average interest rate paid and an increase in the average deposit balance for the three-month

period ended March 31, 2005 compared to the similar prior year period.  Interest expense on deposit accounts increased $41,000, or less than one percent, for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2005 compared to the similar prior year period.  The modest increase was caused by an increase in the average deposit balance which was partially offset by a decrease in the average rate paid on deposits for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2005 compared to the similar period in the prior year.  The average rate paid on deposits increased to 1.94% for the three-months ended March 31, 2005 compared to 1.70% for the three-months ended March 31, 2004.  The average rate paid on deposits fell to 1.81% for the nine-months ended March 31, 2005 compared to 1.90% for the nine-months ended March 31, 2004. Interest expense on borrowings increased $839,000 and $2.3 million, or 56.4% and 55.2% for the three-month and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2005 compared to the similar prior year periods.  These increases primarily resulted from the increases in the average balance of borrowings which were partially offset by decreases in the average rates of borrowings.  The increases in the average balances of deposits and borrowings were primarily responsible for the overall increases in interest expense for the three-month and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2005.

 

Provision for Loan Losses.  The Company’s provision for loan losses increased $334,000, or 196.5% to $504,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to $170,000 for the corresponding prior fiscal year period. For the nine-months ended March 31, 2005, the provision for loan losses increased $705,000, or 213.6% to $1.0 million compared to $330,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2004. The increases in the provision for loan losses in the three-month and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2005 compared to the three-month and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2004 were primarily related to our continued loan portfolio growth, diversification and a $204,000 write down of a pool of small business loans in the quarter ended March 31, 2005. These loans were originated between 1995 and 2002 in Montgomery, Bucks and Philadelphia counties in Pennsylvania under the Bank’s community reinvestment initiative.  The remaining loan balance in the pool, aggregating $226,000, has been internally classified and is being closely monitored by the Bank.  The Company’s allowance for loan losses as a percentage of its loan portfolio decreased to 1.03% at March 31, 2005 compared to 1.07% at March 31, 2004.  The decrease as a percentage of the loan portfolio primarily reflects our lower level of classified assets and overall improvement in loan delinquency levels over the prior year period.  At March 31, 2005 our ratio of non-performing loans to total loans was 0.52% compared to 0.60% at March 31, 2004.  The Company’s allowance for loan losses increased to $6.0 million at March 31, 2005 compared to $5.2 million at June 30, 2004.  Provisions for loan losses are based primarily upon the Company’s regular review of the credit quality of its loan portfolio, the net charge-offs during the period and other factors.  We believe, that the allowance for loan losses was adequate at March 31, 2005 and represents at such date all known and inherent losses in the portfolio that are both probable and reasonably estimable, however, no assurance can be given as to the amount or timing of additional provisions for loan losses in the future as a result of potential increases in the amount of the Company’s non-performing loans in the remainder of the Company’s loan portfolio.

 

Non-Interest Income.  Non-interest income increased $95,000, or 11.2% to $947,000 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2005 compared to $852,000 for the comparable prior year period.  For the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2004, the increase was a combination of an increase in service charges and fees of $138,000 and a $121,000 increase in the amount of realized gain on the sale of loans held for sale, partially offset by a decline in realized gains on the sale of securities available for sale of $158,000. Non-interest income decreased $428,000, or 14.2% to $2.6 million for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2005 compared to $3.0 million in the prior year period.  The decrease in non-interest income for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2005 compared to the nine-month period ended December 31, 2004, was primarily a result of a decline in realized gains on the sale of securities available for sale of $656,000, partially offset by increased loan servicing income of $227,000.

 

Non-Interest Expense.  Non-interest expense increased $1.4 million, or 27.0% to $6.6 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2005 compared to $5.2 million for the similar prior year period.  Non-interest expense increased $2.0 million, or 13.4% to $17.3 million for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2005 compared to $15.3 million for the similar prior year period. Increases for the three-month and nine-month periods ending March 31, 2005 over the prior year comparable periods were primarily a result of increases in other expenses of $941,000 and $1.4 million, respectively, and in compensation and employee benefits expense of $246,000 and $287,000, respectively. The increase in other expenses for the three-month and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2005 was primarily related to the Company’s entry into a settlement agreement during the quarter ended March 31, 2005 pursuant to which the Company agreed to pay $930,000 (pre-tax) in order to terminate and settle certain

litigation. See Part II, Item 1, “Legal Proceedings.”   The increase in compensation and employee benefits expense for the three and nine-month period ended March 31, 2005 was primarily due to $175,000 in severance related costs upon the termination of employment of one officer.

 

Income Tax Expense.  The provision for income taxes for the three-month and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2005 was $527,000 and $2.3 million, respectively.  This compares to a provision of $604,000 and $2.0 million for the similar prior year three-month and nine-month periods.  The effective tax rate for the three-month and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2005 was 30.4% and 31.5%, respectively, compared to 29.0% and 30.0%, respectively, for the three-month and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2004. The increase in the effective tax rate for the three-month and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2005 was primarily due to a decrease in tax-exempt income relative to total pre-tax income for both the three and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2005.

 

Changes in Financial Condition

 

General.  Total assets of the Company increased by $68.1 million, or 7.4%, to $989.6 million at March 31, 2005 compared to $921.6 million at June 30, 2004.  The increase in assets primarily resulted from a combination of an increase in net loans receivable of $52.4 million, or 10.0% and securities available for sale and held to maturity of $27.9 million in the aggregate, or 8.4%.  Securities available for sale and held to maturity increased on an aggregate basis by $27.9 million, or 8.4% to $360.7 million at March 31, 2005 compared to $332.7 at June 30, 2004. Net loans increased $52.4 million, or 10.0% from $524.2 million at June 30, 2004 to $576.6 million at March 31, 2005. Total liabilities amounted to $885.0 million at March 31, 2005, an increase of $67.2 million, or 8.2% from June 30, 2004.  Deposits increased $7.4 million, or 1.2% to $610.5 million at March 31, 2005. Certificates of deposit decreased $10.5 million, or 3.8%, core deposits increased $18.0 million, or 5.6%, while borrowings increased $57.4 million, or 27.8% from June 30, 2004.  Total stockholders’ equity increased $874,000 to $104.7 million at March 31, 2005.  The change in stockholders’ equity was primarily the result of net income of $5.0 million and a $204,000 increase in accumulated other comprehensive income which was partially offset by dividend repayments of $3.1 million in the aggregate and the repurchase of 155,577 shares of Company common stock in the open market during the nine-month period at an aggregate cost of $2.6 million, or an average of $16.68 per share. 

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents.  Cash and cash equivalents amounted to $23.2 million and $39.4 million at March 31, 2005 and June 30, 2004, respectively.  Cash and cash equivalents decreased during the nine-month period as funds were utilized to fund loan originations and repurchase Company common stock.

 

Assets Available or Held for Sale.  At March 31, 2005, securities classified as available for sale and loans classified as held for sale amounted to $186.2 million and $3.0 million, respectively.  This compares to $234.2 million in available for sale securities and $1.1 million in held for sale loans at June 30, 2004.  The decrease of $48.0 million, or 20.5%, in available for sale securities was primarily related to a modification in investment strategy whereby a greater percentage of securities purchased during the nine months ended March 31, 2005 were classified as held to maturity rather than available for sale due to the Company’s ability and intent to hold to maturity.  Cash from sales of certain lower balance mortgage-backed securities totaling $9.9 million, were the primary sources of funds used for these purchases.  At March 31, 2005, the Company had unrealized losses on available for sale securities of $2.3 million net of realized gains, compared to unrealized losses on available for sale securities of $2.5 million at June 30, 2004.  The decrease in the net unrealized losses was a result of a decline in the balance of available for sale securities.

 

Loans.  The net loan portfolio of the Company increased $52.4 million, or 10.0% from $524.2 million at June 30, 2004 to $576.6 million at March 31, 2005.  During the nine-months ended March 31, 2004, the Bank purchased two wholesale loan pools totaling $21.8 million in newly originated, adjustable rate and fixed rate, single-family residential mortgage loans, at a combined $321,000 discount, which is being accreted into income over the estimated lives of the loans of 4.1 to 5 years.  At March 31, 2005 the average outstanding balance of the loans in these loan pools was $414,000 and the properties securing the loans were all located on the East Coast. Additionally, during the nine-month period ended March 31, 2005, the Bank sold a bulk loan package of $14.7 million of 30-year fixed rate single-family residential mortgage loans with the Bank retaining the servicing of the loans.  These loans

 

21



 

were sold as part of an overall interest rate risk management strategy designed to improve the Company’s interest rate risk in an anticipated rising rate environment.  The capitalized servicing rights attributable to the sale of the loans was $147,000 at March 31, 2005.

 

During the nine months ended March 31, 2005, the Company’s single-family residential loans increased $20.9 million, or 11.5%, construction loans increased $20.1 million, or 35.2%, commercial business loans increased $5.2 million, or 29.1%, home equity loans increased $7.7 million, or 8.4% and consumer loans increased $291,000, or 17.3%, while commercial real estate and multi-family residential loans decreased by $815,000, or less than one percent.

Total non-performing assets increased $555,000, or 17.5%, to $3.7 million at March 31, 2005 compared to $3.2 million June 30, 2004.  The increase was primarily related to an increase in performing troubled debt restructurings and REO, partially offset by a decrease in a majority of the non-accrual loans.

 

Intangible Assets. The amount of our intangible assets totaled $896,000 at March 31, 2005 compared to $938,000 at June 30, 2004.  Our intangible assets include a core deposit intangible and goodwill, which represents the excess cost over fair value of assets acquired over liabilities assumed in a branch acquisition, which occurred in 1994.  The core deposit intangible is being amortized over a 12-year life.  At March 31, 2005 the Company had goodwill of $848,000, which is periodically measured for impairment. 

 

Deposits.  The Company’s total deposits increased by $7.4 million, or 1.2% to $610.5 million at March 31, 2005 compared to $603.1 million at June 30, 2004.  At March 31, 2005, checking and money market accounts increased $26.0 million, or 11.2%, to $257.7 million compared to $231.7 million at June 30, 2004, and savings accounts decreased $8.0 million, or 8.7% to $83.8 million compared to $91.9 million at June 30, 2004.  Management believes the decrease in savings accounts was related to transfers to money market accounts and into the equities markets.  At March 31, 2005, certificates of deposit, which comprise the largest component of our deposit portfolio,

 

22



 

amounted to $269.0 million or 44.1% of our deposit portfolio, a decrease of $10.5 million from $279.5 million or 46.4% of total deposits at June 30, 2004.  The increase in the overall deposits during the nine-month period was related primarily to increases in checking and money market, which was partially offset by the decrease in certificates of deposit and savings accounts.  The decline in certificates was primarily related to our unwillingness to compete with rates offered by local competition in the current rate environment.  Core deposits increased $18.0 million, or 5.6% during the nine-month period ended March 31, 2005. The increase in core deposits during the nine-month period ended March 31, 2005 was primarily related to an increase in money market and checking accounts, which was partially offset by decreases in savings accounts. 

 

Federal Home Loan Bank Advances. The Company uses advances from the FHLB of Pittsburgh as an additional source of funds to meet our loan demand, as leverage to fund certain revenue enhancing investment strategies and for other asset/liability management purposes.  At March 31, 2005, the total amount of these borrowings outstanding was $263.5 million, which is a $57.4 million or 27.8% increase from the $206.2 million outstanding at June 30, 2004.  The increase in FHLB advances is directly attributable to funding asset growth. 

 

Stockholders’ Equity.  Total stockholders’ equity of the Company amounted to $104.7 million, or 10.6% of assets at March 31, 2005 compared to $103.8 million or 11.3% of total assets at June 30, 2004, an increase of $874,000, or less than one percent.  Changes in stockholders’ equity reflect year-to-date net income of $5.0 million, as well as an increase of $204,000 in accumulated other comprehensive income, primarily as a result of the decrease in the balance of the securities available for sale portfolio, offset by the repurchase of 155,577 shares of Company stock at a cost of $2.6 million, at an average share price of $16.68, during the nine months ended March 31, 2005. The Company paid a cash dividend of $0.11 per share during both the quarter ended September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2004 and a cash dividend per share of $0.12 during the quarter ended March 31,2005.  These regular dividends totaled $3.1 million during the nine-months ended March 31, 2005.

 

Liquidity and Commitments

 

The Company’s liquidity, represented by cash and cash equivalents, is a product of its operating, investing, and financing activities.  The Company’s primary sources of funds are deposits, amortizations, prepayments and maturities of outstanding loans and mortgage-backed securities, maturities of investment securities and other short-term investments and funds provided from operations.  The Company also utilizes borrowings, generally in the form of FHLB advances, as a source of funds.  While scheduled payments from the amortization of loans and mortgage related securities and maturing investment securities and short-term investments are relatively predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition.  In addition, the Company invests excess funds in short-term interest-earning assets which provide liquidity to meet lending requirements.

 

Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of business management.  Excess liquidity is generally invested in short-term investments such as U.S. Treasury securities.  The Company uses its sources of funds primarily to meet its ongoing commitments, to pay maturing certificates of deposit and savings withdrawals, fund loan commitments and maintain a portfolio of mortgage backed and mortgage related securities and investment securities.  At March 31, 2005, the total approved investment and loan origination commitments outstanding amounted to $46.0 million.  Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in one year or less at March 31, 2005 totaled $206.0 million.  The Company has the ability to utilize borrowings, typically in the form of FHLB advances, as an additional source of funds.  The approximate maximum borrowing capacity available to the Company from the FHLB was $607.9 million as of March 31, 2005, based on qualifying collateral.  The Company is required to maintain sufficient liquidity to ensure its safe and sound operation.  The Company anticipates that it will continue to have sufficient funds, together with borrowings, to meet its current commitments.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

For the discussion of the Company’s asset and liability management policies as well as the potential impact of interest rate changes upon the market value of the Company’s portfolio equity, see “Quantitative and Qualitative

 

24



 

Disclosure About Market Risk” in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2004.  Management, as part of its regular practices, performs periodic reviews of the impact of interest rate changes upon net interest income and the market value of the Company’s portfolio equity.  Management monitors interest rate risk and takes actions which it deems appropriate to maintain the short-term risk at levels considered acceptable while focusing on a longer-term loan diversification plan, which concentrates on the acquisition of shorter maturity or repricing assets.  Based on, among other factors, such reviews, management believes that there have been no material changes in the market risk of the Company’s asset and liability position since June 30, 2004.

 

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

 

Our management evaluated, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this report.  Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations and are operating in an effective manner.

 

No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15(d)-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) occurred during the last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Part II.  OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item l.     Legal Proceedings

 

On February 22, 2005, the Bank entered into a Memorandum of Settlement Terms and Conditions (the “Settlement Agreement”) which provides for the settlement and resolution of all matters with respect to the Bank and all Bank related parties in the case known as ATS Products Corporation v. Willow Grove Bank (U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania) and all related actions (these cases previously have been described under the heading “Legal Proceedings” in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2004 and its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, which descriptions are incorporated herein by reference).  Pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement, the Bank agreed to make certain payments in full settlement of all claims (a substantial portion of which will be covered by the Bank’s indemnity insurance).  The Settlement Agreement was filed in the United States District Court, was subject to and conditioned upon the approval of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania due to one plaintiff’s pending bankruptcy proceeding.  The bankruptcy court approved the settlement agreement in April 2005 and the settlement was finalized. Based on the terms of the Settlement Agreement, the Company recorded a pretax charge of $930,000 (approximately $632,000 tax-effected) in the quarter ended March 31, 2005 with respect to this settlement.

 

Other than the above referenced litigation, the Company is involved in various legal proceedings occurring in the ordinary course of business.  Management of the Company, based on discussions with litigation counsel, believes that such proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or operations of the Company.  There can be no assurance that any of the outstanding legal proceedings to which the Company is a party will not be decided adversely to the Company’s interests and have a material adverse effect on the financial condition and operations of the Company.
