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 is expected to be consummated in the third calendar quarter of 2005.   

 

 

 

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 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

 

6



 

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 GAAPs applicable to the banking industry.  Certain amounts in prior years are reclassified for comparability to the current year’s presentation.  Such reclassifications, when applicable, have no effect on net income.  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 value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to the stock option plans.

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 delay the effective date of EITF 03-1.  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 will be issuing implementation guidance to this topic.  Once issued, the Company will evaluate the impact of adopting 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 public companies that do not file as small business issuers as of the beginning of the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after June 15, 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 July 28, 2004, the Company declared a cash dividend on its common stock of $0.11 per share, payable on August 20, 2004 to owners of record on August 6, 2004.  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.  Additionally, on January 25, 2005, the Company’s Board of Directors declared an $0.12 per share cash dividend payable February 18, 2005 to shareholders of record on February 4, 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.   The Company has sold $16.1 million in loans under these agreements and, at December 31, 2004, had a maximum credit risk exposure of $430,000 under such agreement.   

 

 

 

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; or (7) 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 December 31, 2004 was $2.0 million.  This compares to net income of $1.5 million for the comparable quarter in the prior year.  Net income for the six-month period ended December 31, 2004 was $3.8 million compared to net income of $3.1 million for the comparable six-month period ended December 31, 2003.  The Company’s net interest margin on a tax-affected basis increased four basis points to 3.29% for the three months ended December 31, 2004 from 3.25% for the three months ended December 31, 2003.  The net interest margin on a tax-affected basis increased 13 basis points to 3.29% for the six months ended December 31, 2004 from 3.16% for the six months ended December 31, 2003. The return on average assets for the three-month and six-month periods ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 was 0.81% and 0.71%, respectively, and 0.79% and 0.75%, respectively.  The returns on average equity for the same periods were 7.49% and 5.37%, respectively, and 7.11% and 5.56%, 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 six-month periods ended December 31, 2004 was $7.9 million, and $15.3 million, respectively.  This compares to $6.4 million and $12.6 million for the respective prior year comparable periods.   For the three-month and six-month periods ended December 31, 2004, net interest income increased $1.4 million or 22.2% and $2.7 million or 21.4%, over the prior comparable three-month and six-month periods.  Net interest income increased primarily as a result of increases in the average balances of the Company’s loan and securities portfolio combined with an increase in net interest rate spread.  For the three-month and six-month periods ended December 31, 2004 the Company’s interest rate spread increased 11 basis points to 2.90% and 21 basis points to 2.91%, respectively, compared to 2.79% and 2.70% for the respective three-month and six-month periods ending December 31, 2003. 

 

                                                Average interest-earning assets increased $161.8 million and $130.8 million, or 20.2% and 16.3%, respectively, for the three-month and six-month periods ended December 31, 2004 compared to the respective prior year periods.  Average interest-bearing liabilities for the three-month and six-month periods ended December 31, 2004 increased $154.0 million and $127.1 million or 24.0% and 19.8%, respectively, over the comparable prior year periods.  The ratio of average interest-earning assets to average interest-bearing liabilities decreased to 120.79% and 121.28%, respectively, for the three-month and six-month periods ended December 31, 2004 compared to an

 

14



 

average 124.56% and 124.92%, respectively, for the three-month and six-month periods ended December 31, 2003.   The Company continues to aggressively market its core deposit products,during the three-month and six-month periods ended December 31, 2004, and also increased its utilization of FHLB advances.   The Company’s net interest margin increased four basis points to 3.29% and 13 basis points to 3.29%, respectively, for the three-month and six-month periods ended December 31, 2004 from 3.25% and 3.16%, respectively, for the three-month and six-month periods ended December 31, 2003. The increase in net interest margin for the three-month and six-month periods ended December 31, 2004 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 six-month periods ended December 31, 2004 and 2003.  Loans receivable include non-accrual loans.  To adjust nontaxable securities to a taxable equivalent, a 32.0% effective rate has been used for both the three-month and six-month periods ended December 31, 2004, respectively, compared to a taxable equivalent of 31.0% effective rate for both the three-month and six-month periods ended December 31, 2003.  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.

                                                Interest Income.  Interest income on loans increased $1.2 million and $2.2 million, or 16.9% and 15.3%, respectively, for the three-month and six-month periods ended December 31, 2004 compared to the three-month and six-month periods ended December 31, 2003. 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 six-month periods ended December 31, 2004 were the primary reasons for the increase in interest income on loans compared to the similar prior year period.  The average balance of the Company’s loans increased $110.0 million and $117.8 million or 24.4% and 27.1%, respectively, for the three-month and six-month periods ended December 31, 2004 compared to the three-month and six-month periods ended December 31, 2003.  The Company’s average yield earned on loans declined by 40 basis points and 62 basis points, respectively, in the three-month and six-month periods ended December 31, 2004 compared to the respective three-month and six-month periods ended December 31, 2003.  Interest income on securities increased $1.1 million and $1.5 million or 37.2% and 25.9%, (adjusting the average yield on our tax-exempt securities to 6.37% and 6.38%, respectively, on a tax equivalent basis) for the three-month and six-month periods ended December 31, 2004 compared to the three-month and six-month periods ended December 31, 2003.  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 six-month periods ended December 31, 2004 compared to the three-month and six-month periods ended December 31, 2003. 

 

                                                Interest Expense.  Interest expense on deposit accounts increased $117,000, or 4.9%, for the three-month period ended December 31, 2004 compared to the similar prior year period. Interest expense on deposit accounts decreased  $395,000, or 7.8%, for the six-month period ended December 31, 2004 compared to the similar prior year period.  The decrease in the average rate paid on deposits was offset by the increase in average deposit balances for

 

18



 

the three-month and six-month periods ended December 31, 2004 compared to  the similar periods in the prior year.  The average rate paid on deposits fell to 1.82% and 1.75% for the three-months and six-months ended December 31, 2004 compared to 1.90% and 1.99% for the three-months and six-months ended December 31, 2003. Interest expense on borrowings increased $772,000 and $1.4 million, or 55.9% and 54.5% for the three-month and six-month periods ended December 31, 2004 compared to the similar prior year periods.  The increase was primarily a result of the increase in the average balance of borrowings partially offset by the decrease in the average rates of borrowings.   The increase in average balances of deposits and borrowings partially offset by the decrease in average rates paid on deposits and borrowings was primarily responsible for the overall increase in interest expense for the three-month and six-month periods ended December 31, 2004. 

 

                                                Provision for Loan Losses.  The Company’s provision for loan losses increased $259,000, or 256.4% to $360,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2004 compared to $101,000 for the corresponding prior fiscal period. For the six-months ended December 31, 2004 the provision for loan losses increased $371,000, 231.9% to $531,000 compared to $160,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2003. The increases in the provision for loan losses in the three-month and six-month periods ended December 31, 2004 compared to the three-month and six-month periods ended December 31, 2003 were primarily related to our continued loan portfolio growth and diversification. The Company’s allowance for loan losses as a percentage of its loan portfolio decreased to 1.01% at December 31, 2004 compared to 1.22% at December 31, 2003.  The decrease as a percentage of the loan portfolio primarily reflects our lower level of classified assets and overall improvement in loan delinquency levels less than 90 days over the prior year period.  At December 31, 2004 our ratio of non-performing loans to total loans was 0.49% compared to 0.94% at December 31, 2003.  The Company’s allowance for loan losses increased to $5.7 million at December 31, 2004 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, to the best of our knowledge, that the allowance for loan losses was adequate at December 31, 2004 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 $37,000, or 4.5% to $865,000 for the three-month period ended December 31, 2004 compared to $828,000 for the similar prior year period.  For the three months ended December 31, 2004 the increase was a combination of an increase in realized gains on the sale of loans held for sale of  $93,000 and increased loan servicing income of $57,000, partially offset by a decline in realized gains on sale of securities available for sale of $95,000. Non-interest income decreased $523,000, or 24.3% to $1.6 million for the six-month period ended December 31, 2004 compared to $2.2 million in the prior year period.  The decrease in non-interest income for the six-month period ended December 31, 2004 compared to the six-month period ended December 31, 2003, was primarily a result of a decline in realized gains on the sale of securities available for sale and loans held for sale of $498,000 and $100,000, respectively, partially offset by increased loan servicing income of $218,000 related to originated mortgage servicing rights.

 

                                                Non-Interest Expense.  Non-interest expense increased $356,000, or 7.0% to $5.4 million for the three-month period ended December 31, 2004 compared to $5.1 million for the similar prior year period.  Non-interest expense increased $651,000, or 6.4% to $10.8 million for the six-month period ended December 31, 2004 compared to $10.1 million for the similar prior year period. Increases for the three-month and six-month periods ended December 31, 2004 over the prior year comparable periods were primarily a result of increases in professional fees of $125,000 and $68,000, respectively, compensation and benefits expense of $124,000 and $41,000, respectively, and in other expenses of $51,000 and $305,000, respectively. The increase in other expense was due to, among other things, a write down of $75,000 and maintenance costs of $43,000 recognized on one previously identified commercial real estate REO property as well as other increases in administrative costs.  

 

                                                Income Tax Expense.  The provision for income taxes for the three-month and six-month periods ended December 31, 2004 was $948,000 and $1.8 million, respectively.  This compares to a provision of $626,000 and $1.4 million for the similar prior year three-month and six-month periods.   The effective tax rate for the three-month and six-month periods ended December 31, 2004 was 32.1% and 31.9%, respectively, compared to 29.8% and 30.4%, respectively, for the three-month and six-month periods ended December 31, 2003. The increase in the

 

19



 

effective tax rate for the three-month and six-month periods ended December 31, 2004 was primarily due to an increase in  pre-tax income combined with a decrease in tax-exempt  income relative to total pre-tax income.

 

Changes in Financial Condition

 

                                                General.  Total assets of the Company increased by $71.5 million, or 7.8%, to $993.1 million at December 31, 2004 compared to $921.6 million at June 30, 2004.  The increase in assets primarily resulted from an increase in securities held to maturity of $86.7 million, which were partially offset by a decrease in securities available for sale of $38.6 million, combined with an increase in net loans of $37.0 million.   Securities available for sale and held to maturity increased  on an aggregate basis by $48.1 million, or 14.4% at December 31, 2004 compared to June 30, 2004. Net loans increased $37.0 million, or 7.1% from $524.2 million at June 30, 2004 to $561.2 million at December 31, 2004. Total liabilities amounted to $887.2 million at December 31, 2004, an increase of $69.4 million, or 8.5% from June 30, 2004.  Deposits increased $12.5 million, or 2.1% to $615.6 million. Certificates of deposit increased $17.7 million, or 6.3%, core deposits decreased $5.1 million, or 1.6%, while borrowings increased $57.1 million, or 27.7% from June 30, 2004.  Total stockholders’ equity increased $2.2 million to $106.0 million at December 31, 2004.  The change in stockholders’ equity was primarily the result of net income of $3.8 million and a $1.8 million increase in accumulated other comprehensive income which was partially offset by dividend repayments of $2.0 million in the aggregate and the repurchase of 137,477 shares of Company common stock in the open market during the six-month period at an aggregate cost of $2.3 million, or an average of $16.61 per share. 

 

                                                Cash and Cash Equivalents.  Cash and cash equivalents amounted to $25.6 million and $39.4 million at December 31, 2004 and June 30, 2004, respectively.  Cash and cash equivalents decreased during the period as funds were utilized to purchase additional securities, fund loan originations and repurchase Company common stock. 

 

                                                Assets Available or Held for Sale.  At December 31, 2004, securities classified as available for sale and loans classified as held for sale amounted to $195.6 million and $1.5 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 $38.6 million, or 16.5%, in available for sale securities was primarily related to a modification in investment strategy whereby a greater percentage of securities purchased were classified as held to maturity rather than available for sale due to the Company’s ability and intent to hold to maturity.  Cash flows from existing securities sales of certain lower balance mortgage-backed securities sales of $9.9 million, were the primary sources of funds used for these purchases.  At December 31, 2004, the Company had unrealized losses on available for sale securities of $698,000 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 level of longer-term interest rates as well as the decline in the balance of available for sale securities. 

 

                                                Loans.  The net loan portfolio of the Company increased $37.0 million, or 7.1% from $524.2 million at June 30, 2004 to $561.2 million at December 31, 2004.  The increase in the Company’s loan portfolio was a result of increases in all loan portfolio categories.  During the six-months ended December 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 December 31, 2004 the average outstanding balance of the loans in these loan pools was $426,000 and the properties securing the loans were all located on the East Coast. Additionally, during the six-month period ended December 31, 2004, 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 were sold as part of an overall interest rate risk management strategy to improve the Company’s interest rate risk in an anticipated rising rate enviornment.  The capitalized servicing rights attributable to the sale of the loans was $147,000 at December 31, 2004.

 

                                                Single-family residential loans increased $14.4 million, or 8.0%, construction loans increased $12.4 million, or 21.8%, commercial real estate and multi-family residential loans increased $4.9 million, or 2.7%, commercial business loans increased $3.5 million, or 20.0%, home equity loans increased $2.5 million, or 2.7% and consumer loans increased $85,000, or 5.1% at December 31, 2004 compared to June 30, 2004.

                                                Total non-performing assets increased $352,000, or 11.1%, to $3.5 million at December 31, 2004 compared to $3.2 million June 30, 2004.  The increase was primarily related to an increase in non-accrual commercial real estate and single-family residential loans partially offset by a decrease in non-performing commercial business loans. 

 

                                                Intangible Assets. The amount of our intangible assets totaled $910,000 at December 31, 2004 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 December 31, 2004 the Company had goodwill of $848,000, which is periodically measured for impairment. 

 

                                                Deposits.  The Company’s total deposits increased by $12.5 million, or 2.1% to $615.6 million at December 31, 2004 compared to $603.1 million at June 30, 2004.  At December 31, 2004, checking and money market accounts increased $2.1 million, or less than one percent, to $233.8 million compared to $231.7 million at June 30, 2004, and savings accounts decreased $7.3 million, or 7.9% to $84.6 million compared to $91.9 million at June 30, 2004.  Management believes the decrease in savings accounts were related to transfers to money market accounts and into the equities markets.  At December 31, 2004, certificates of deposit, which comprise the largest component of our deposit portfolio, amounted to $297.2 million or 48.3% of our deposit portfolio, an increase of $17.7 million from $279.5 million or 46.4% of total deposits at June 30, 2004.  The increase in the overall deposits during the six-month period was primarily related to increases in certificates of deposit associated with our  95th      Bank anniversary certificate of deposit  promotion which occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2004.  Core deposits declined $5.1 million, or 1.6% during the six-month period ended December 31, 2004. The decline in core deposits during the six-month period ended December 31, 2004 was primarily related to increased local competition for deposits.

                                                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 December 31, 2004, the total amount of these borrowings outstanding was $263.2 million, which is a $57.1 million or 27.7% 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 $106.0 million, or 10.7% of assets at December 31, 2004 compared to $103.8 million or 11.3% of total assets at June 30, 2004, an increase of $2.2 million, or 2.1%.  Changes in stockholders’ equity reflect year-to-date net income of $3.8 million, as well as an increase of $1.8 million in accumulated other comprehensive income, primarily as a result of the general decreases in overall interest rates on the unrealized change in fair value of securities available for sale, offset by the repurchase of 137,477 shares of Company stock at a cost of $2.3 million, at an average share price of $16.61, during the six months ended December 31, 2004. The Company paid a cash dividend of $0.11 per share during both the quarter ended  September 30, 2004 and December 31, 2004.  These regular dividends totaled $2.0 million during the six-months ended December 31, 2004.  

 

 

                                                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 December 31, 2004, the total approved investment and loan origination commitments outstanding amounted to $42.6 million.  Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in one year or less at December 31, 2004 totaled $232.7 million.  The Company has the ability to utilize borrowings, typically in the form of FHLB advances, as an additional source of funds.  The maximum borrowing capacity available to the Company from the FHLB was $601.2 million as of December 31, 2004, 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 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

 

23



 

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

 

                                                Related suits have been brought against the Bank in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania arising out of loans the Bank made to ATS Products Corporation (“ATS”), ATS Products Corporation v. Willow Grove Bank, Brenda DiCicco v. Willow Grove Bank, and 1750 Woodhaven Drive, L.P. v. Willow Grove Bank.  One case was filed by ATS’s bankruptcy trustee; the other was filed by Brenda DiCicco (“DiCicco”), ATS’s sole shareholder, and 1750 Woodhaven Drive, L.P. (“Woodhaven”), a DiCicco-owned entity that was ATS’s landlord.  DiCicco and Woodhaven included three current and/or former employees of the Bank as defendants in their law-suits. 

 

In the cases, which have been consolidated, the principal allegation is that the Bank breached an agreement to provide financing to ATS, which resulted in the destruction of ATS’s business.  ATS, DiCicco, and Woodhaven all assert claims for breach of contract, fraud, negligent misrepresentation and breach of fiduciary duty.  DiCicco and Woodhaven also assert claims for negligence and a declaration that they owe nothing to the Bank under their guaranties of ATS’s debt.  DiCicco asserts claims for conversion and unjust enrichment.  The plaintiffs seek a multi-million dollar recovery for damages and costs while the Bank has filed a multi-million dollar counter claim. 

 

The Bank has filed answers, affirmative defenses, and counterclaims.  The Bank and ATS have filed cross-motions for summary judgment, which the court granted in part and denied in part.  The Bank also filed a motion for summary judgment against DiCicco and Woodhaven.  The Court recently granted that motion in part and denied it in part, ruling that the contract claims would proceed but that the tort claims (which would include all claims against the three current and/or former Bank employees) would not.  Both sides moved for reconsideration, which caused the judge to issue another order in response to same.  There is still some uncertainty as to which claims are proceeding to trial.  The Court denied the Bank’s motion to strike ATS’s jury trial demand.  The Court has set a trial date for March 1, 2005. 

 

The Bank is vigorously defending the claims made by the plaintiffs and believes that the claims are without merit.

 

                                                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.
