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.

 

In December 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) revised FAS No. 132, Employers’ Disclosures about Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit. This statement retains the disclosures required by FAS No. 132, which standardized the disclosure requirements for pensions and other postretirement benefits to the extent practicable and requires additional information on changes in the benefit obligations and fair value of plan assets. Additional disclosures include information describing the types of plan assets, investment strategy, measurement date(s), plan obligations, cash flows, and components of net periodic benefit cost recognized during interim periods. This statement retains reduced disclosure requirements for nonpublic entities from FAS No. 132, and it includes reduced disclosure for certain of the new requirements. This statement is effective for financial statements with fiscal years ending after December 15, 2003. The interim disclosures required by this statement are effective for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2003. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company’s disclosure requirements.

 

In March 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) reached consensus on the guidance provided by Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 03-1 (“EITF 03-1”), The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and its Application to Certain Investments. The guidance is applicable to debt and equity securities that are within the scope of FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments In Debt and Equity Securities and certain other investments. EITF 03-1 specifies that an impairment would be considered other-than-temporary unless (a) the investor has the ability and intent to hold an investment for a reasonable period of time sufficient for the recovery of the fair value up to (or beyond) the cost of the investment and (b) evidence indicating the cost of the investment is recoverable within a reasonable period of time outweighs evidence to the contrary. EITF 03-1 cost method investment and disclosure provisions were effective for reporting periods ending after June 15, 2004. The measurement and recognition provisions relating to debt and equity securities have been delayed until the FASB issues additional guidance.

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 contains safe harbor provisions regarding forward-looking statements. When used in this discussion, the words “believes”, “anticipates”, “contemplates”, “expects”, and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Those risks and uncertainties include changes in interest rates, risks associated with the ability to control costs and expenses, and general economic conditions. Killbuck Bancshares, Inc. undertakes no obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions to those forward-looking statements, which may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

 

The Company conducts no significant business or operations of its own other than holding all of the outstanding stock of the Killbuck Savings Bank Company. As a result, references to the Company generally refer to the Bank unless the context indicates otherwise.

 

Financial Condition

 

Total assets at September 30, 2004 were $291,862,000 compared to $284,139,000 at December 31, 2003.

 

Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $1,448,000 or 8.2% from December 31, 2003, to September 30, 2004, with federal funds sold decreasing $400,000. This decrease improved the Bank’s net interest margin by investing in higher yielding assets at September 30, 2004.

 

Investment securities available for sale decreased by $6,524,000 or 37.1% from December 31, 2003, due to net maturities, calls, and repayments. Investments held to maturity decreased $1,631,000 or 4.0% due to maturities, calls and repayments.

 

Net loans increased by $17,216,000 or 8.7% from December 31, 2003, to September 30, 2004. An increase of $13,788,000 occurred in the real estate loan category, which is attributable primarily to residential and commercial lending activity; which was created by a continuation of aggressively marketing loans in this low rate environment. Commercial and other loan balances increased by $4,069,000 due to the economic strength of the communities we serve and the continuing expansion of the businesses while consumer loan balances decreased by $641,000.

 

Total deposits at September 30, 2004 were $243,560,000 compared to $241,724,000 at December 31, 2003. Time deposits decreased $960,000, demand accounts decreased $2,202,000 and money market and savings accounts increased $4,998,000. Management attributes these changes to maturing time deposits and the volatility of interest rates and consumer expectations of rising rates. Furthermore, management also believes various customers are investing their funds in their businesses and the stock market.

 

Federal Home Loan Bank advances increased $5,558,000 due to $6,035,000 in new advances, which was used to help fund loan growth, and scheduled repayments and short-term borrowings decreased $1,105,000 at September 30, 2004 from December 31, 2003.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Financial Condition (Continued)

 

Shareholders’ Equity increased by $1,481,000 or 4.3%, which was mainly due to earnings of $2,503,000 for the first nine months of 2004 decreased by a $93,000 unrealized loss on securities included in other comprehensive income, dividends paid totaling $630,000, and by the purchase of Treasury stock for $299,000. Treasury stock purchases are monitored against the Company’s Strategic Plan and the goals set forth in the plan. The Treasury stock purchases have been within the Strategic Plan’s guidelines for the first nine months of 2004. Management monitors risk-based capital and leveraged capital ratios in order to assess compliance of the regulatory guidelines. At September 30, 2004, the total capital ratio was 17.43%; the Tier I capital ratio was 16.19%, and the leverage ratio was 11.77%, compared to regulatory capital requirements of 8.00%, 4.00% and 4.00% respectively. These ratios are well in excess of regulatory capital requirements.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2004 and 2003

 

Net income for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2004, was $2,503,000, an increase of $143,000 or 6.1% from the $2,360,000 reported at September 30, 2003.

 

Total interest income of approximately $10,343,000 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2004, compares to $10,775,000 for the same period in 2003, a decrease of $432,000 or 4.0%. $607,000 of the decrease in total interest income is attributed to a decrease in investment securities – taxable. Investment income decreased $693,000 or 28.5% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2004 compared to the same period for 2003. The decrease in investment income is due to a decrease in volume. Average investment balances were $54,834,000 compared to $75,669,000 and the yields were 4.2% compared to 4.3% for the first nine months of 2004 and 2003 respectively. See “Average Balance Sheet” for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2003. Interest and fees on loans increased $308,000 or 3.7% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2004 compared to the same period for 2003. The increase in interest and fees on loans is due to an increase in the volume of loans. Average loan balances were $212,062,000 for the first nine months of 2004 compared to $183,602,000 for the first nine months of 2003 and the yield on loans decreased to 5.4% for the first nine months of 2004 compared to 6.0% for the first nine months of 2003.

 

Total interest expense of $2,409,000 for the nine month period ending September 30, 2004 represents a decrease of $720,000 from the $3,129,000 reported for the same nine month period in 2003. The decrease in interest expense on deposits of $706,000 is due mainly to the decreases in the average yield on the underlying principle balances of the interest bearing liabilities. Average interest bearing deposits were $201,831,000 for the first nine months of 2004 compared to $205,456,000 for the first nine months of 2003. The cost on interest bearing deposits was 1.5%, compared to 1.9% for the nine month periods of 2004 and 2003 respectively. See “Average Balance Sheet” for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2003.

 

Net interest income of $7,934,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, compares to $7,646,000 for the same nine-month period in 2003, an increase of $288,000 or 3.8%.

 

Total other income for the nine month period ended September 30, 2004, of $758,000 compares to $875,000 for the same nine month period in 2003, a decrease of $117,000 or 13.4%. Gains on sale of loans decreased $171,000 due to decreased activity caused by increasing loan rates. The increase of $49,000 in service charges on deposit accounts was attributable to various service charges that were increased effective April 1, 2003. Other income increased $5,000 due to the increases in miscellaneous other service charges.

 

Total other expense of $5,337,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, compares to $5,223,000 for the same nine month period in 2003. This represents an increase of $114,000 or 2.2%. Salary and employee benefits increased approximately $187,000 due to: 1) Normal increases in salaries and employee benefits, 2) Additional business development staff hired in March 2003 for Knox County, and 3) Due to retirement of the branch manager, the bank hired new management personnel in June 2004 for the Tuscarawas County Office. Salary for the retiree will continue to be expensed through the first quarter of fiscal year 2005 for earned but non-accrued benefits. The changes in the remaining expense accounts were attributable to increases in items that are normal and recurring in nature.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

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

 

Net income for the three-month period ended September 30, 2004, was $947,000, an increase of $108,000 or 12.9% from the $839,000 reported at September 30, 2003.

 

Total interest income of approximately $3,522,000 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2004, compares to $3,518,000 for the same period in 2003, an increase of $4,000 or .1%. The increase in total interest income is attributed to an increase in interest and fees on loans. Interest and fees on loans increased $195,000 or 7.1% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2004 compared to the same period for 2003. The increase in interest and fees on loans is due to an increase in the volume of the loan portfolio. Average loan balances were $217,972,000 compared to $191,129,000 and the yield was 5.41% compared to 5.8% for this three-month period of 2004 and 2003 respectively. The decrease in interest on investment securities of $186,000 was due to a decrease in the average balances outstanding of $52,526,000 for 2004 compared to $72,032,000 for 2003 and the yield was 4.2% compared to 4.1% for this three-month period of 2004 and 2003 respectively. See “Average Balance Sheet” for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2003.

 

Total interest expense of $817,000 for the three-month period ending September 30, 2004, represents a decrease of $142,000 from the $959,000 reported for the same three-month period in 2003. The decrease in interest expense on deposits of $155,000 is due mainly to a decrease in volume of Time deposits. Average interest bearing deposits were $202,654,000 for this three-month period of 2004 compared to $206,750,000 for the same three months of 2003. The cost of interest bearing deposits was 1.5% compared to 1.7% for this three-month period of 2004 and 2003 respectively.

Net interest income of $2,705,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2004, compares to $2,559,000 for the same three-month period in 2003, an increase of $146,000 or 5.7%.

 

Total other income for the three month period ended September 30, 2004, of $262,000 compares to $301,000 for the same three month period in 2003, a decrease of $39,000 or 13.0%. Gains on sale of loans decreased $48,000 due to the Bank’s decreased activity caused by increasing loan rates. The service fee income on deposits increased $8,000 due to increased ATM usage and NSF activity. The changes in the remaining income accounts were attributable to increases in items that are normal and recurring in nature.

 

Total other expense of $1,708,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2004, compares to $1,697,000 for the same three-month period in 2003. This represents an increase of $11,000 or .6%. Salary and employee benefits increased $78,000 due to normal recurring employee cost increases for salary and employee health benefits and hiring new management personnel for Tuscarawas County due to a retiring manager. The retiree will continue to have salary expenses through the first quarter of fiscal year 2005 due to earned but non-accrued benefits.

Liquidity

 

Management monitors projected liquidity needs and determines the level desirable based in part on the Company’s commitments to make loans and management’s assessment of the Company’s ability to generate funds.

 

The primary sources of funds are deposits, repayment of loans, maturities of investments, funds provided from operations and advances from the FHLB of Cincinnati. While scheduled repayments of loans and maturities of investment securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan repayments are greatly influenced by the general level of interest rates, economic conditions and competition. The Company uses its sources of funds to fund existing and future loan commitments, to fund maturing time deposits and demand deposit withdrawals, to invest in other interest-earning assets, to maintain liquidity, and to meet operating expenses.

 

Cash and amounts due from depository institutions and federal funds sold totaled $16,107,000 at September 30, 2004. These assets provide the primary source of liquidity for the Company. In addition, management has designated a portion of the investment portfolio, $11,058,000 as available for sale and has an available unused line of credit of $27,933,000 with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati to provide additional sources of liquidity at September 30, 2004. As of September 30, 2004, the Company had commitments to fund loans of approximately $4,931,000 and unused lines of credit totaling $34,346,000.

 

Cash was provided during the nine month period ended September 30, 2004, mainly from operating activities of $2.9 million, the maturities and repayments of investment securities of $8.5 million, the net increase in deposits of $1.8 million, and a net increase of $4.5 million in Federal Home Loan Bank advances and short-term borrowings. Cash was used during the nine month period ended September 30, 2004, mainly to fund a net increase in loans of $17 million and for the purchase of investment securities of $.6 million. In addition $.3 million was used to purchase equipment, $.3 million was used to purchase Treasury Stock, and $.6 million was used to pay dividends to shareholders. Cash and cash equivalents totaled $16.1 million at September 30, 2004, a decrease of $1.5 million from $17.6 million at December 31, 2003.

 

Management is not aware of any conditions, including any regulatory recommendations or requirements, which would adversely affect its liquidity or ability to meet its funding needs in the normal course of business.

Risk Elements

 

The table below presents information concerning nonperforming assets including nonaccrual loans, renegotiated loans, loans 90 days or more past due, other real estate loans and repossessed assets at September 30, 2004, and December 31, 2003. A loan is classified as nonaccrual when, in the opinion of management, there are doubts about collectibility of interest and principal. At the time the accrual of interest is discontinued, future income is recognized only when cash is received. Renegotiated loans are those loans which terms have been renegotiated to provide a reduction or deferral of principal or interest as of result of the deterioration of the borrower.

Management monitors impaired loans on a continual basis. As of September 30, 2004, impaired loans had no material effect on the Company’s financial position or results from operations.

 

The allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2004, totaled $2,621,000 1.20% of total loans as compared to $2,702,000 or 1.34% at December 31, 2003. Provisions for loan losses were $150,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and $300,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003.

 

The level of funding for the provision is a reflection of the overall loan portfolio. Nonperforming loans consist of approximately $1,000,000 in commercial real estate, and $161,000 in one to four family residential mortgages. The collateral requirements on such loans reduce the risk of potential losses to an acceptable level in management’s opinion.

 

Management performs a quarterly evaluation of the allowance for loan losses. The evaluation incorporates internal loan review, actual historical losses, as well as any negative economic trends in the local market. The evaluation is presented to and approved by the Board of Directors. Although the Company maintains its allowance for loan losses at a level that it considers to be adequate to provide for the inherent risk of loss in its portfolio, there can be no assurance that future losses will not exceed estimated amounts or that additional provisions for loan losses will not be required in future periods.

 

A commercial loan for $ 1.3 million, which became delinquent in the third quarter and was placed on nonaccrual, has been written down by approximately $300,000 to the allowance for loan loss. Management has contracted with an auctioneer, who specializes in this type of collateral, to market and sell the property and equipment. Before the end of the fiscal year, the commercial real estate will be reappraised. After the appraisal, the property may require a write-down to the allowance for loan losses before being sold. Management anticipates the sale of the collateral by the end of the fiscal year, December 31, 2004; however, the transaction may not be concluded by the 31st .

Item 3 – QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES

ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Market risk for the Company is comprised primarily from interest rate risk exposure and liquidity risk. Since virtually all of the interest-earning assets and paying liabilities are at the Bank, virtually all of the interest rate risk and liquidity risk lies at the Bank level. The Bank is not subject to any trading risk. In addition, the Bank does not participate in hedging transactions such as interest rate swaps and caps. Changes in interest rates will impact both income and expense recorded and also the market values of long-term interest-earnings assets. Interest rate risk and liquidity risk management is performed at the Bank level. Although the Bank has a diversified loan portfolio, loans outstanding to individuals and businesses are dependent upon the local economic conditions in the immediate trade area.

 

One of the principal functions of the Company’s asset/liability management program is to monitor the level to which the balance sheet is subject to interest rate risk. The goal of the asset/liability program is to manage the relationship between interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities, thereby minimizing the fluctuations in the net interest margin, which achieves consistent growth of net interest income during periods of changing interest rates.

 

Interest rate sensitivity is the result of differences in the amounts and repricing dates of a bank’s rate sensitive assets and rate sensitive liabilities. These differences, or interest rate repricing “gap” provide an indication of the extent that the Company’s net interest income is affected by future changes in interest rates. During a period of rising interest rates, a positive gap, a position of more rate sensitive assets than rate sensitive liabilities, is desired. During a falling interest rate environment, a negative gap is desired, that is, a position in which rate sensitive liabilities exceed rate sensitive assets.

 

At September 30, 2004, the Company had a cumulative positive gap of $108.9 million or 36.85% at the one-year horizon. The gap analysis indicates that if interest rates were to rise 200 basis points (2.00%), the Company’s net interest income would improve at the one-year horizon because the Company’s rate sensitive assets would reprice faster than rate sensitive liabilities. Conversely, if rates were to fall 200 basis points, the Company’s net interest income would decline.

 

Management also manages interest rate risk with the use of simulation modeling which measures the sensitivity of future net interest income as a result of changes in interest rates. The analysis is based on repricing opportunities for variable rate assets and liabilities and upon contractual maturities of fixed rate instruments.

 

The simulation also calculates net interest income based upon rate increases or decrease of + or – 200 basis points (or 2.00%) in 100 basis point (or 1.00%) increments. The analysis reprices the balance sheet and forecasts future cash flows over a one-year horizon at the net interest rate levels. The cash flows are then totaled to calculate net interest income. Assumptions are made for loan and investment pre-payment speeds and are incorporated into the simulation as well. Loan and investment pre-payment speeds will increase as interest rates decrease and slow as interest rates rise. The current analysis indicates that, given a 200 basis point overnight decrease in interest rates, the Company would experience a potential $778,800 or 22.62% decline in net interest income. If rates were to increase 200 basis points, the analysis indicates that the Company’s net interest income would increase $786,000 or 22.84%. It is important to note, however, that this exercise would be a worst-case scenario. It would be more likely to have incremental changes in interest rates, rather than a single significant increase or decrease.

 

When management believes interest rate movements will occur, it can restructure the balance sheet and thereby the ratio of rate sensitive assets to rate sensitive liabilities which in turn will effect the net interest income. It is important to note; however, that in gap analysis and simulation modeling not all assets and liabilities with similar maturities and repricing opportunities will reprice at the same time or to the same degree and therefore, could effect forecasted results.

Table of Contents

Much of the Bank’s deposits have the ability to reprice immediately, however, deposit rates are not tied to an external index. As a result, although changing market interest rates impact repricing, the Bank retains much of the control over repricing by determining itself the extent and timing of repricing deposit products. In addition, the Bank maintains a portion of its investment portfolio as available for sale securities and also has a significant variable rate loan portfolio, which is used to offset rate sensitive liabilities.

 

Changes in market interest rates can also affect the Bank’s liquidity position through the impact rate change may have on the market value of the available for sale portion of the investment portfolio. Increase in market rates can adversely impact the market values and therefore, make it more difficult for the Bank to sell available for sale securities needed for general liquidity purposes without incurring a loss on the sale. This issue is addressed by the Bank with the use of borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) and the selling of fixed rate mortgages as a source of liquidity to the Bank.

 

The Company’s liquidity plan allows for the use of long-term advances or short-term lines of credit with the FHLB as a source of funds. Borrowing from FHLB not only provides a source of liquidity for the Company, but also serves as a tool to reduce interest risk as well. The Company may structure borrowings from FHLB to match those of customers’ credit requests, and therefore, lock in interest rate spreads over the lives of the loans.

 

In addition to borrowing from the FHLB as a source for liquidity, the Company also participates in the secondary mortgage market. Specifically, the Company sells fixed rate, residential real estate mortgages to the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”). The sales to Freddie Mac not only provide an opportunity for the Bank to remain competitive in the market place, by allowing it to offer a fixed rate mortgage product, but also provide an additional source of liquidity and an additional tool for management to limit interest rate risk exposure. The Bank continues to service all loans sold to Freddie Mac.
