PENNS WOODS BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1.  Basis of Presentation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Penns Woods Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Woods Investment Company, Inc., Woods Real Estate Development Company, Inc., and Jersey Shore State Bank (the “Bank”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary The M Group, Inc. D/B/A The Comprehensive Financial Group (“The M Group”).  All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation.

 

The interim financial statements are unaudited but, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of results for such periods.  All of those adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature.  The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.  These financial statements should be read in conjunction with financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s annual report for the year ended December 31, 2003.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2003, the FASB issued a revision to Interpretation 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, which established standards for identifying a variable interest entity (“VIE”) and for determining under what circumstances a VIE should be consolidated with its primary beneficiary.  The Interpretation requires consolidation of entities in which an enterprise absorbs a majority of the entity’s expected losses, receives a majority of the entity’s residual returns, or both, as a result of ownership, contractual or other financial interests in the entity.  Prior to the interpretation, entities were generally consolidated by an enterprise when it had a controlling financial interest through ownership of a majority voting interest in the entity.  The adoption of this Interpretation has not and is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

NOTE 2. Per Share Data

 

The following table sets forth the composition of the weighted average common shares (denominator) used in the basic and dilutive per share computation.  There are no convertible securities which would affect the numerator in calculating basic and dilutive

earnings per share, therefore, net income as presented on the consolidated statement of income will be used as the numerator.

Employer Contributions

 

The Company previously disclosed in its consolidated financial statements included in the 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K that it expected to contribute $560,000 to its defined benefit plan in 2004.  As of June 30, 2004, a contribution of $296,000 has been made.  The Company presently anticipates contributing an additional $296,000 to fund its pension plan in 2004 for a total of $592,000.

 

Note 4.  Off Balance Sheet Risk

 

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers.  These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit.  These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, interest rate or liquidity risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheet.  The contract amounts of these instruments express the extent of involvement the Company has in particular classes of financial instruments.

 

The Company’s exposure to credit loss from nonperformance by the other party to the financial instruments for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of these instruments.  The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet instruments.

 

The Company may require collateral or other security to support financial instruments with off-balance sheet credit risk.

ITEM 2.   Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation

 

 

EARNINGS SUMMARY

 

Comparison of the Six Months Ended June 30, 2004 and 2003

 

Interest Income

 

11



 

The $516,000 increase of interest income is the result of the expansion of total interest-earning assets and the reduction of the interest rates paid on deposits partially offset by declining interest rates on interest-earning assets.  Total securities experienced a rate decline of 52 basis points effected by management’s repositioning from longer term States & Political securities to shorter term U.S. Government securities.  While weighted average interest rates in the loan portfolio decreased 77 basis points, the expansion into the Centre County market facilitated loan growth of over $24,890,000.  The opportunity to borrow funds at historically low interest rates as well as a growth of municipal deposits funded the loan and security growth.   Management reduced interest expense $515,000 primarily by lowering weighted average interest rates paid on deposits 50 basis points.

 

Interest Expense

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2004, total interest expense decreased by $515,000 or 11% compared to the first six months of 2003.  Low interest rates have positively impacted interest expense.  Management’s adjustment of rates paid while continuing to monitor the local competition for all deposit accounts contributed the most substantial decrease in interest expense.  The weighted average rate on interest paid on deposits declined 50 basis points for the six months ended June 30, 2004 from the same period in 2003 resulting in the decrease of interest paid on savings deposits of $366,000 and $439,000 on time deposits.

 

Favorable long-term borrowing rates offer opportunities to reduce interest expenses over the coming years.  At the end of the first quarter of 2003, the Company borrowed an additional $20 million in long term advances through the FHLB to minimize future borrowing costs and to enhance asset and liability positioning.  These additional borrowings were utilized by management to take advantage of current investment opportunities while minimizing interest rate risk.  The $226,000 increase in expense on long-term borrowings is the result of these additional advances with average advances of $12,933,000 offset by the 22 basis point decline in the resulting weighted average interest rate for the first half of 2004 compared to the same period of 2003. Interest paid on short-term borrowings increased $64,000 as a result of an increase in the average balances of $17,466,000 offset partially by the decline in the weighted average interest rate of 85 basis points.  Overnight borrowings increased as a result of leveraging the purchase of securities and loan growth.

 

Provision for Loan Losses

 

The provision for loan losses is based upon management’s quarterly review of the loan portfolio.  The purpose of the review is to assess loan quality, identify impaired loans, analyze delinquencies, ascertain loan growth, evaluate potential charge-offs and recoveries, and assess general economic conditions in the markets served.  An external independent loan review is also performed annually for the Bank.  Management remains committed to an aggressive program of problem loan identification and resolution.

 

12



 

The allowance is calculated by applying loss factors to outstanding loans by type, excluding loans for which a specific allowance has been determined.  Loss factors are based on management’s consideration of the nature of the portfolio segments, changes in mix and volume of the loan portfolio, and historical loan loss experience.  In addition, management considers industry standards and trends with respect to nonperforming loans and its knowledge and experience with specific lending segments.

 

Although management believes that it uses the best information available to make such determinations and that the allowance for loan losses is adequate at June 30, 2004, future adjustments could be necessary if circumstances or economic conditions differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the initial determinations.  A downturn in the local economy, employment and delays in receiving financial information from borrowers could result in increased levels of nonperforming assets and charge-offs, increased loan loss provisions and reductions in income.  Additionally, as an integral part of the examination process, bank regulatory agencies periodically review the Bank’s loan loss allowance.  The banking agencies could require the recognition of additions to the loan loss allowance based on their judgment of information available to them at the time of their examination.

 

The allowance for loan losses increased from $3,069,000 at December 31, 2003 to $3,157,000 at June 30, 2004.  At June 30, 2004, allowance for loan losses was 1.0% of total loans compared to 1.1% of total loans at December 31, 2003.  This percentage is consistent with the Bank’s historical experience and peer banks.  Management’s conclusion is that the allowance for loan losses is adequate to provide for probable losses inherent in its loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date.

 

The provision for loan losses totaled $150,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004.  The provision for the same period in 2003 was $135,000.

 

An overall decrease of $60,000 was experienced in non-performing loans from December 31, 2003 to $1,196,000 on June 30, 2004.  This decline consisted of a commercial and industrial loans decrease of $12,000, a real estate secured loans decrease of $51,000 and an installment loans increase of $3,000.

 

Based upon this analysis, as well as the others noted above, senior management has concluded that the allowance for loan losses remains at a level adequate to provide for probable losses inherent in its loan portfolio.

 

Other Operating Income

 

Other operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2004 decreased $141,000.  Net security gains represent a decrease of $723,000. During the second quarter of 2003, management took advantage of the opportunity available to sell investment securities without significantly impacting the overall effective yield of the investment portfolio.  Excluding net security gains, other income increased $582,000 primarily due to the $409,000 growth of insurance commissions earned by the Bank’s subsidiary, The M

 

13



 

Group.  The M Group has added personnel and expanded its market area in the last year.  Service charges grew $61,000 as the weighted average balance of demand deposits increased and the remaining items of income increased $112,000 due to normal operations.

 

Other Operating Expense

 

An overall increase in other expenses totaled $601,000 for the first half of 2004 compared to the same period in 2003 and is the result of normal operational cost increases.  The $545,000 increase of salaries and benefits consisted of the increase of $251,000 of commissions paid as a result of the growth in sales of financial products offered by The M Group, Inc. and normal salary increases of $294,000.

 

Provision for Income Taxes

 

The provision for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2004 resulted in an effective income tax rate of 27.97% compared to 24.64% for the corresponding period in 2003.  This increasing effective tax rate is the result of management’s repositioning of the investment portfolio from tax-exempt securities to taxable securities.  The tax effects of the repositioning were examined by management as part of the Company’s strategic plan.

 

Comparison of the Three Months Ended June 30, 2004 and 2003

 

Interest Income

 

During the second quarter of 2004, interest income earned was $7,532,000, an increase of $281,000 over the same quarter in 2003.

 

Interest income on loans increased $230,000 due to the weighted average balances advancing $38,549,000 from the expansion into the Centre County market partially offset by the weighted average interest rate decrease of 70 basis points.

 

An increase of $51,000 occurred in interest and dividends on investments.  Taxable interest and dividends increased $461,000 while non-taxable interest decreased $410,000 due to the purchases of short-term, taxable securities and the sales of long-term, tax-free securities.

 

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense during the second quarter of 2004 decreased $253,000, or 11% less than interest expense incurred during the second quarter of 2003.  Interest expense on savings deposits decreased $116,000 as a result of a 39 basis point decline of the effective weighted average interest rate for the periods partially offset by the increase of the weighted average balance of $14,171,000.  The weighted average interest rate for time deposits decreased 51 basis points for a savings of $190,000.  Although the weighted

 

14



 

average balance of short-term borrowings increased $9,436,000, the 91 basis point decline in the weighted average interest rate negated the effect on the expense.  Interest paid on long-term borrowings increased $55,000 due to the increase in the weighted average balance of $5,000,000.

 

Other Operating Income

 

Total other operating income for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 compared to the same period in 2003 decreased $895,000.  The decrease is due to the decrease of security gains of $1,170,000 partially offset by an increase of the insurance and brokerage commissions earned by the Bank’s subsidiary, The M Group, Inc. during the second quarter of this year.  Service charges rose $50,000 as the weighted average balance of demand deposits continued to rise.  The remaining items comprising operating income increased $69,000 for the second quarter of 2004 compared to the same period of 2003 due to normal operations.

 

Other Operating Expenses

 

Total other operating expenses increased $267,000.  Salaries and employee benefits increased $201,000 attributed to both the increase of commissions earned by The M Group, Inc. and the standard cost of living salary increases.  Occupancy expense decreased $2,000 and furniture and equipment decreased $33,000 due to the change of depreciation expense during the second quarter of 2004 compared to the second quarter of 2003.  Pennsylvania shares tax expense increased $17,000 and miscellaneous expenses increased $84,000 due to general inflationary increases.

 

Provision for Income Taxes

 

Income taxes decreased $125,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 compared to the second quarter of 2003.  The effective tax rates for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 are 28.32% and 26.98%, respectively.  This increasing effective tax rate is consistent with management’s repositioning of the investment portfolio from tax-exempt securities to taxable securities.  The tax effects of the repositioning were examined by management as part of the Company’s strategic plan.

 

ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT

 

Assets

 

At June 30, 2004, total assets were $543.2 million compared to $527.4 million at December 31, 2003.  Cash and due from banks increased $1 million during the first half of 2004.  Investment securities available for sale totaled $200.1 million at June 30, 2004 for a net decrease of $10.5 million from the corresponding balance December 31, 2003.  The decline of investments is primarily due to the principal payments of the mortgage-backed securities of $15.8 million.  Mortgage-backed agency securities were purchased

 

15



 

and sold for a net increase of $18.2 million and tax-free municipals were purchased and sold for a net decrease of $6.0 million.  The unrealized gain on investments decreased $6.9 million from December 31, 2003 to June 30, 2004.   Management shortened the average life of the portfolio, increased annual yield, and realized a profit on sales in order to strengthen the portfolio.  During this period, net loans increased by $24.9 million as a result of expansion into Centre County

 

Deposits

 

At June 30, 2004, total deposits amounted to $368.8 million representing an increase of $34.4 million from total deposits at December 31, 2003.  Non-interest bearing demand deposits increased $1.4 million, savings deposits increased $4.4 million, and time deposits increased $4.3 million.  Interest bearing demand deposits increased $24.3 million due to an increase of municipal deposits. The deposit growth is attributed to normal operations as well as the increased expansion in Centre County.

 

Capital

 

The adequacy of the Company’s capital is reviewed on an ongoing basis with reference to the size, composition and quality of the Company’s resources and regulatory guidelines.  Management seeks to maintain a level of capital sufficient to support existing assets and anticipated asset growth, maintain favorable access to capital markets and preserve high quality credit ratings.

 

Bank holding companies are required to comply with the Federal Reserve Board’s risk-based capital guidelines.  The risk-based capital rules are designed to make regulatory capital requirements more sensitive to differences in risk profiles among banks and bank holding companies and to minimize disincentives for holding liquid assets.  Specifically, each is required to maintain certain minimum dollar amounts and ratios of Total risk-based, Tier I risk-based and Tier I leverage capital requirements. In addition to the capital requirements, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvements Act (FDICIA) established five capital categories ranging from “well capitalized” to “critically undercapitalized.” To be classified as “well capitalized”, Total risk-based, Tier I risked-based and Tier I leverage capital ratios must be at least 10%, 6%, and 5% respectively.

 

At June 30, 2004, the Company was “well capitalized” with a total capital ratio of 22.10%, a Tier I capital ratio of 20.30% and a Tier I leverage ratio of 11.86%.

 

 

Liquidity and Interest Rate Sensitivity

 

The asset/liability committee addresses the liquidity needs of the Bank to see that sufficient funds are available to meet credit demands and deposit withdrawals as well as to the placement of available funds in the investment portfolio.  In assessing

 

16



 

liquidity requirements, equal consideration is given to the current position as well as the future outlook.

 

The following liquidity measures are monitored and kept within the limits cited.

 

1.  Net Loans to Total Assets,  70% maximum

 

2.  Net Loans to Total Deposits, 92.5% maximum

 

3.  Net Loans to Core Deposits, 100% maximum

 

4.  Investments to Total Assets, 40% maximum

 

5.  Investments to Total Deposits, 50% maximum

 

6.  Total Liquid Assets to Total Assets, 25% minimum

 

7.  Total Liquid Assets to Total Liabilities, 25% minimum

 

8.  Net Core Funding Dependence, 35% maximum

 

Fundamental objectives of the Company’s asset/liability management process are to maintain adequate liquidity while minimizing interest rate risk.  The maintenance of adequate liquidity provides the Company with the ability to meet its financial obligations to depositors, loan customers and shareholders.  Additionally, it provides funds for normal operating expenditures and business opportunities as they arise.  The objective of interest rate sensitivity management is to increase net interest income by managing interest sensitive assets and liabilities in such a way that they can be repriced in response to changes in market interest rates.

 

The Bank, like other financial institutions, must have sufficient funds available to meet its liquidity needs for deposit withdrawals, loan commitments and expenses.   In order to control cash flow, the Bank estimates future flows of cash from deposits and loan payments.  The primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest payments on loans and mortgage-backed securities, as well as Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings.  Funds generated are used principally to fund loans and purchase investment securities.  Management believes the Company has adequate resources to meet its normal funding requirements.

 

Management monitors the Company’s liquidity on both a long and short-term basis thereby, providing management necessary information to react to current balance sheet trends.  Cash flow needs are assessed and sources of funds are determined.  Funding strategies consider both customer needs and economical cost.  Both short and long term funding needs are addressed by maturities and sales of available for sale investment securities, loan repayments and maturities, and liquidating money market investments such as federal funds sold.  The use of these resources, in conjunction with access to credit provides core ingredients to satisfy depositor, borrower and creditor needs.

 

17



 

Management monitors and determines the desirable level of liquidity.  Consideration is given to loan demand, investment opportunities, deposit pricing and growth potential as well as the current cost of borrowing funds.  The Company has a current borrowing capacity at the Federal Home Loan Bank of $243.7 million.  In addition to this credit arrangement the Company has additional lines of credit with correspondent banks of $10,500,000. The Company’s management believes that it has sufficient liquidity to satisfy estimated short-term and long-term funding needs.  Federal Home Loan Bank advances totaled $88.4 million as of June 30, 2004.

 

Interest rate sensitivity, which is closely related to liquidity management, is a function of the repricing characteristics of the Company’s portfolio of assets and liabilities.  Asset/liability management strives to match maturities and rates between loan and investment security assets with the deposit liabilities and borrowings that fund them.  Successful asset/liability management results in a balance sheet structure which can cope effectively with market rate fluctuations. The matching process is affected by segmenting both assets and liabilities into future time periods (usually 12 months, or less) based upon when repricing can be effected.  Repriceable assets are subtracted from repriceable liabilities, for a specific time period to determine the “gap”, or difference. Once known, the gap is managed based on predictions about future market interest rates.  Intentional mismatching, or gapping, can enhance net interest income if market rates move as predicted.  However, if market rates behave in a manner contrary to predictions, net interest income will suffer.  Gaps, therefore, contain an element of risk and must be prudently managed.  In addition to gap management, the Company has an asset/liability management policy which incorporates a market value at risk calculation which is used to determine the effects of interest rate movements on shareholders’ equity and a simulation analysis to monitor the effects of interest rate changes on the Company’s balance sheets.

 

There has been no substantial changes in the Company’s GAP analyses or simulation analyses compared to the information provided in the Company’s Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2003.

 

Generally, management believes the Company is well positioned to respond expeditiously when the market interest rate outlook changes.

 

 

Inflation

 

The asset and liability structure of a financial institution is primarily monetary in nature, therefore, interest rates rather than inflation have a more significant impact on the Company’s performance.  Interest rates are not always affected in the same direction or magnitude as prices of other goods and services, but are reflective of fiscal policy initiatives or economic factors which are not measured by a price index.

In reference to the attached financial statements, all adjustments are of a normal recurring nature pursuant to Rule 10-01 (b) (8) of Regulation S-X`.

 

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

 

Market risk for the Company is comprised primarily from interest rate risk exposure and liquidity risk.  Interest rate risk and liquidity risk management is performed at the Bank level as well as the Company level.  The Company’s interest rate sensitivity is monitored by management through selected interest rate risk measures produced internally.  There has been no substantial changes in the Company’s GAP analyses or simulation analyses compared to the information provided in the Company’s SEC 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2003.  Additional information and details are provided in the Interest Sensitivity section of Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

 

Generally, management believes the Company is well positioned to respond expeditiously when the market interest rate outlook changes.

 

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

 

An analysis was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2004. There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2004, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
