HENRY COUNTY BANCSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The consolidated financial information for Henry County Bancshares, Inc. (the “Company”) included herein is unaudited; however, such information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim period.

 

The results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

 

NOTE 2. SUPPLEMENTAL SEGMENT INFORMATION

 

The Company has two reportable segments: commercial banking and mortgage loan origination. The commercial banking segment provides traditional banking services offered through the Bank. The mortgage loan origination segment provides mortgage loan origination services offered through First Metro.

 

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the footnotes to the December 31, 2003 consolidated financial statements as filed in our annual report on Form 10-K.

 

The Company evaluates performance based on profit and loss from operations before income taxes not including nonrecurring gains and losses.

 

The Company accounts for intersegment revenues and expenses as if the revenue/expense transactions were to third parties, that is, at current market prices.

 

The Company’s reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services. They are managed separately because each segment has different types and levels of credit and interest rate risk.

NOTE 3. CURRENT ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS

 

In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of ARB No. 51”, and on December 24, 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 (Revised December 2003), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” which replaced FIN 46. The interpretation addresses consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities. A variable interest entity is defined as an entity subject to consolidation according to the provisions of the interpretation. The revised interpretation provided for special effective dates for entities that had fully or partially applied the original interpretation as of December 24, 2003. Otherwise, application of the interpretation is required in financial statements of public entities that have interests in special-purpose entities, or SPE’s, for the periods ending after December 15, 2003. Application by public entities, other than small business issuers, for all types of variable interest entities (i.e non-SPE’s) is required in financial statements for periods ending after March 15, 2004. The interpretations did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following is management’s discussion and analysis of certain significant factors which have affected the financial position and operating results of the Henry County Bancshares, Inc. and its subsidiaries, The First State Bank and First Metro Mortgage Co., during the periods included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

 

SPECIAL CAUTIONARY NOTICE REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

Certain of the statements made herein under the caption “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” (“MD&A”) are forward-looking statements for purposes of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”) and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and as such may involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Henry County Bancshares, Inc. to be materially different from future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such forward looking statements include statements using the words such as “may,” “will,” “anticipate,” “should,” “would,” “believe,” “contemplate,” “expect,” “estimate,” “continue,” “may,” “intend,” or other similar words and expressions of the future. Our actual results may differ significantly from the results we discuss in these forward-looking statements.

 

These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties and may not be realized due to a variety of factors, including, without limitation: the effects of future economic conditions; governmental monetary and fiscal policies, as well as legislative and regulatory changes; the risks of changes in interest rates on the level and composition of deposits, loan demand, and the values of loan collateral, securities, and other interest-sensitive assets and liabilities; interest rate risks; the effects of competition from other commercial banks, thrifts, mortgage banking firms, consumer finance companies, credit unions, securities brokerage firms, insurance companies, money market and other mutual funds and other financial institutions operating in the our market area and elsewhere, including institutions operating regionally, nationally, and internationally, together with such competitors offering banking products and services by mail, telephone, computer, and the Internet.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

We have adopted various accounting policies which govern the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States in the preparation of our financial statements. Our significant accounting policies are described in the footnotes to the consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2003 as filed in our annual report on form 10-K.

 

Certain accounting policies involve significant judgments and assumptions by us which have a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities. We consider these accounting policies to be critical accounting policies. The judgments and assumptions we use are based on historical experience and other factors, which we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Because of the nature of the judgments and assumptions we make, actual results could differ from these judgments and estimates which could have a material impact on our carrying values of assets and liabilities and our results of operations.

 

We believe the allowance for loan losses is a critical accounting policy that requires the most significant judgments and estimates used in preparation of our consolidated financial statements. Please see the portion of this discussion that addresses our allowance for loan losses for a description of our processes and methodology for determining our allowance for loan losses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our liquidity and capital resources are monitored on a periodic basis by management, State and Federal regulatory authorities. As determined under guidelines established by regulatory authorities and internal policy, our liquidity ratio of 13.25% at September 30, 2004 was considered satisfactory.

 

At September 30, 2004, our capital ratios were in excess of the regulatory minimum capital requirements to be classified as well-capitalized. The regulatory minimum capital requirements to be classified as well-capitalized and our actual capital ratios on a consolidated and bank-only basis are as follows:

 

     Actual

   

Minimum

Regulatory

Requirement

 
     Consolidated

    Bank

   

Leverage capital ratios

   9.77 %   9.57 %   4.00 %

Risk-based capital ratios:

                  

Core capital

   11.14     10.91     4.00  

Total capital

   12.04     11.82     8.00  

 

Off-Balance Sheet Risk

 

We are a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of our customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Such commitments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk and interest rate risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheets.

 

Our exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. We use the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as we do for on-balance sheet instruments. A summary of our commitments is as follows:

 

    

September 30,

2004


Commitments to extend credit

   $ 100,877,000

Letters of credit

     4,754,000
    

     $ 105,631,000
    

 

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The amount of collateral obtained, if deemed necessary by us upon extension of credit, is based on our credit evaluation of the customer.

Table of Contents

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by us to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those letters of credit are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers. Collateral is required in instances which we deem necessary.

Our assets increased by 8.66% for the first nine months of 2004. Increases of $41.6 million in deposit growth, coupled with decreases of $7.7 million in cash and due from banks were primarily used to fund loan growth of $54.1 million during the first nine months of 2004. Our deposit growth during the first nine months of 2004 included short term certificates of deposit issued through wholesale deposit brokers in the amount of $8 million. Our total equity has increased by $4.0 million year-to-date as net income of $6.1 million was offset by decreased unrealized losses on securities available-for-sale, net of tax, of $197,000 and by dividends paid of $1.9 million.

Our net interest income increased by $725,000 and $1,654,000 in the in the third quarter and first nine months of 2004, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2003. Our net yield on average interest-earning assets decreased slightly to 3.58% in the first nine months of 2004 as compared to 3.60% in the first nine months of 2003. Our net yield on average interest-earning assets was 3.57% for the entire year of 2003. The increase in net interest income is attributed to an increase in average outstanding loans for the first nine months of 2004. Although net interest income has increased, the net yield on interest-earning assets has decreased due primarily to the increase in floating rate construction loans. The yields on loans decreased to 5.84% in the first nine months of 2004 compared to 6.31% in the first nine months of 2003.

 

The provision for loan losses amounted to $103,000 and $398,000 for the third quarter and first nine months of 2004, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2003. The amounts provided are due primarily to loan growth and our assessment of the inherent risk in the loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans was .95% at September 30, 2004 as compared to 1.00% at December 31, 2003. The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level that is deemed appropriate by management to adequately cover all known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio. Our evaluation of the loan portfolio includes a continuing review of loan loss experience, current economic conditions which may affect the borrower’s ability to repay and the underlying collateral value.

 

Information with respect to nonaccrual, past due and restructured loans at September 30, 2004 and 2003 is as follows:

Potential problem loans are defined as loans about which we have serious doubts as to the ability of the borrower to comply with the present loan repayment terms and which may cause the loan to be placed on nonaccrual status, to become past due more than ninety days, or to be restructured.

 

Our policy is to discontinue the accrual of interest income when, in the opinion of management, collection of such interest becomes doubtful. This status is accorded interest when (1) there is a significant deterioration in the financial condition of the borrower and full repayment of principal and interest is not expected and (2) the principal or interest is more than ninety days past due, unless the loan is both well-secured and in the process of collection. Accrual of interest on such loans is resumed when, in management’s judgment, the collection of interest and principal becomes probable.

Table of Contents

Loans classified for regulatory purposes as loss, doubtful, substandard, or special mention that have not been included in the table above do not represent or result from trends or uncertainties which management reasonably expects will materially impact future operating results, liquidity or capital resources. These classified loans do not represent material credits about which management is aware of any information which causes management to have serious doubts as to the ability of such borrowers to comply with the loan repayment terms.

The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level that is deemed appropriate by us to adequately cover all known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio. Our evaluation considers significant factors relative to the credit risk and loss exposure in the loan portfolio, including past due and classified loans, historical experience, underlying collateral values, and current economic conditions that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay. The allowance for loan losses is evaluated by segmenting the loan portfolio into unclassified and classified loans. An allowance percentage is applied to the unclassified loans to establish a general allowance for loan losses. The allowance percentage determined is based upon our experience specifically and the historical experience of the banking industry generally.

Table of Contents

The classified loans, including impaired loans, are analyzed individually in order to establish a specific allowance for loan losses. A loan is considered impaired when it is probable that we will be unable to collect all principal and interest due in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement.

 

Other operating income decreased by $250,000 and $916,000 in the third quarter and first nine months of 2004, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2003. The year-to-date decreases are due primarily to decreased mortgage banking income of $875,000 as a result of reduced mortgage refinancing activity.

 

Other expenses have remained fairly stable as indicated by relatively no change in the third quarter of 2004 compared to 2003 and a decrease of $185,000 for the first nine months of 2004 as compared to the same periods in 2003. Other expenses have decreased during the first nine months of 2004 compared to 2003, primarily as a result of decreased salaries and employee benefits of $236,000. The reduction in salaries and employee benefits is primarily attributed to the reduction in commission based compensation for mortgage origination activity in the amount of $237,000. The number of full time equivalent employees remained at 143 at September 30, 2004 as well as September 30, 2003.

 

We have provided for income taxes at an effective tax rate of 35% for the first nine months of 2004, compared to 36% fo the first nine months of 2003.

 

We are not aware of any known trends, events or uncertainties, other than the effect of events as described above, that will have or are reasonably likely to have a material effect on our liquidity, capital resources, or operations. We are also not aware of any current recommendations by the regulatory authorities which, if they were implemented, would have such an effect.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

We are exposed only to U.S. dollar interest rate changes and accordingly, we manage exposure by considering the possible changes in the net interest margin. We do not have any trading instruments nor do we classify any portion of the investment portfolio as held for trading. We do not engage in any hedging activities or enter into any derivative instruments with a higher degree of risk than mortgage-backed securities that are commonly pass through securities. Finally, we have no exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk, commodity price risk, and other market risks. Interest rates play a major part in the net interest income of a financial institution. The sensitivity to rate changes is known as “interest rate risk.” The repricing of interest earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities can influence the changes in net interest income. As part of our asset/liability management program, the timing of repriced assets and liabilities is referred to as Gap management. It is our policy to maintain a Gap ratio in the one-year time horizon of .80 to 1.20.

 

GAP management alone is not enough to properly manage interest rate sensitivity, because interest rates do not respond at the same speed or at the same level to market rate changes. For example, savings and money market rates are more stable than loans tied to a “Prime” rate and thus respond with less volatility to a market rate change.

 

We use a third party simulation model to monitor changes in net interest income due to changes in market rates. The model of rising, falling and stable interest rate scenarios allow management to monitor and adjust interest rate sensitivity to minimize the impact of market rate swings. The analysis of impact on net interest margins as well as market value of equity over a twelve-month period is subjected to a 200 basis point increase and decrease in rate. The third quarter model reflects an increase of 21% in net interest income and a 11% increase in market value equity for a 200 basis point increase in rates. The same model shows a 2% decrease in net interest income and a 13% decrease in market value equity for a 200 basis point decrease in rates. Our investment committee monitors changes on a quarterly basis, measures the changing values based on the model’s performance and determines an appropriate interest rate policy for management to follow in order to minimize the impact on earnings and market value equity in the projected rate environment.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and the Principal Financial and Accounting Officer, of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective for gathering, analyzing and disclosing the information that we are required to disclose in the reports we file under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer also concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to our company required to be included in our periodic SEC filings. In connection with the new rules, we are in the process of further reviewing and documenting our disclosure controls and procedures, including our internal controls and procedures for financial reporting, and may from time to time make changes designed to enhance their effectiveness and to ensure that our system evolve with our business.

 

There have been no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date of this evaluation.
