FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 evidences Congress’ determination that the disclosure of forward-looking information is desirable for investors and encourages such disclosure by providing a safe harbor for forward-looking statements by corporate management. This Form 10-Q, including Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, contains forward-looking statements that involve risk and uncertainty. “Forward-looking statements” are easily identified by the use of words such as “could,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” and similar words that refer to a future outlook. To comply with the terms of the safe harbor, the company notes that a variety of factors could cause the company’s actual results and experience to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the company’s forward-looking statements.

 

The risks and uncertainties that may affect the operations, performance, development and results of the company’s business include, but are not limited to, the growth of the economy, interest rate movements, the impact of competitive products, services and pricing, customer business requirements, Congressional legislation and similar matters. We caution readers of this report not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements which are subject to influence by the named risk factors and unanticipated future events. Actual results, accordingly, may differ materially from management expectations.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2004 (UNAUDITED) AND DECEMBER 31, 2003

 

1. In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of September 30, 2004, and December 31, 2003, the results of operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, and cash flows and statements of changes in stockholders’ equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003. The statements should be read in conjunction with Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Potomac Bancshares, Inc. annual report for the year ended December 31, 2003. The results of operations for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2004 and 2003, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

 

The consolidated financial statements of Potomac Bancshares, Inc. (the company) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Bank of Charles Town (the bank), include the accounts of both companies. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the current year presentation.

 

2. The 2003 Stock Incentive Plan was approved by stockholders on May 13, 2003 which authorized up to 90,000 shares of common stock to be used in the granting of incentive options to employees and directors. This is the first stock incentive plan adopted by the company. Under the plan, the option price cannot be less than the fair market value of the stock on the date granted. An option’s maximum term is ten years from the date of grant. The company granted 17,994 options in the first quarter of 2004. There were no options granted in 2003. Options granted under the plan may be subject to a graded vesting schedule.

 

The company accounts for the plan under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related Interpretations. No stock-based compensation cost is reflected in net income, as all options granted under the plan have an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of 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 stock-based compensation.

8. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

On March 9, 2004, the SEC Staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 105, “Application of Accounting Principles to Loan Commitments” (“SAB 105”). SAB 105 clarifies existing accounting practices relating to the valuation of issued loan commitments, including interest rate lock commitments (“IRLC”), subject to SFAS No. 149 and Derivative Implementation Group Issue C13, “Scope Exceptions: When a Loan Commitment is included in the Scope of Statement 133.” Furthermore, SAB 105 disallows the inclusion of the values of a servicing component and other internally developed intangible assets in the initial and subsequent IRLC valuation. The provisions of SAB 105 were effective for loan commitments entered into after March 31, 2004. The Company has adopted the provisions of SAB 105. Since the provisions of SAB 105 affect only the timing of the recognition of mortgage banking income, management does not anticipate that this guidance will have a material adverse effect on either the Company’s consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations.

 

Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 03-1 “The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments” (“EITF 03-1”) was issued and is effective March 31, 2004. The EITF 03-1 provides guidance for determining the meaning of “other –than-temporarily impaired” and its application to certain debt and equity securities within the scope of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115 “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities” (“SFAS No. 115”) and investments accounted for under the cost method. The guidance requires that investments which have declined in value due to credit concerns or solely due to changes in interest rates must be recorded as other-than-temporarily impaired unless the Company can assert and demonstrate its intention to hold the security for a period of time sufficient to allow for a recovery of fair value up to or beyond the cost of the investment which might mean maturity. This issue also requires disclosures assessing the ability and intent to hold investments in instances in which an investor determines that an investment with a fair value less than cost is not other-than-temporarily impaired.

 

On September 30, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board decided to delay the effective date for the measurement and recognition guidance contained in Issue 03-1. This delay does not suspend the requirement to recognize other-than-temporary impairments as required by existing authoritative literature. The disclosure guidance in Issue 03-1 was not delayed.

 

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

 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

General

 

The company’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The financial information contained within our statements is, to a significant extent, financial information that is based on measures of the financial effects of transactions and events that have already occurred. A variety of factors could affect the ultimate value that is obtained either when earning income, recognizing an expense, recovering an asset or relieving a liability. We use historical loss factors as one factor in determining the inherent loss that may be present in our loan portfolio. Actual losses could differ significantly from the historical factors that we use. In addition, GAAP itself may change from one previously acceptable method to another method. Although the economics of our transactions would be the same, the timing of events that would impact our transactions could change.

 

Allowance for Loan Losses

 

The allowance for loan losses is an estimate of the losses that may be sustained in our loan portfolio. The allowance is based on two basic principles of accounting: (i) SFAS 5, Accounting for Contingencies, which requires that losses be accrued when they are probable of occurring and estimatable and (ii) SFAS 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, which requires that losses be accrued based on the differences between the value of collateral, present value of future cash flows or values that are observable in the secondary market and the loan balance.

 

10


Table of Contents

Our allowance for loan losses has two basic components: the formula allowance and the unallocated allowance. Each of these components is determined based upon estimates that can and do change when the actual events occur. The formula allowance uses a historical loss view as an indicator of future losses and, as a result, could differ from the loss incurred in the future. However, since this history is updated with the most recent loss information, the errors that might otherwise occur are mitigated. The unallocated allowance captures losses that are attributable to various economic events, industry or geographic sectors whose impact on the portfolio have occurred but have yet to be recognized in the formula allowance.

 

FINANCIAL OVERVIEW

 

Bank of Charles Town is the wholly owned subsidiary of Potomac Bancshares, Inc. The bank is an independent commercial institution whose primary goal is to provide the best loan and deposit services to customers in the bank’s market area while providing acceptable return on the investments of Potomac’s shareholders.

 

Since December 31, 2003 assets have continued to grow and total $233 million at September 30, 2004. Loans are the major factor in this planned growth and expansion of Bank of Charles Town. Management has concentrated on the hiring and retention of loan originators who are capable of capturing a substantial portion of the loan growth in the bank’s major market areas of Jefferson and Berkeley Counties in West Virginia.

 

Deposit growth has also continued since December 31, 2003, and as of September 30, 2004 total $198 million. Deposits provide major funding for the loan and investment activities of the bank. About half of the bank’s investments are held for liquidity purposes. The remainder are used to retain, collateralize and protect a portion of the bank’s larger depositors.

 

Several performance measures commonly used in the banking industry are followed closely by Bank of Charles Town management to track the bank’s performance in comparison with itself and with peer groups. Return on average assets (ROA) is the ratio of net income to average total assets. As of September 30, 2004, the bank’s ROA was 1.37%. Return on average equity (ROE) is the ratio of net income to average total stockholders’ equity. The bank’s ROE at September 30, 2004 was 13.82%. The leverage capital ratio is the ratio of total stockholders’ equity to total assets. The bank’s leverage capital ratio is 9.55% at September 30, 2004. To be considered a well-capitalized bank by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation regulators, the leverage capital ratio must be at least 5%.

 

The following table is an analysis of the company’s allowance for loan losses. Net charge-offs for the company have been very low when compared with the size of the total loan portfolio. Management monitors the loan portfolio on a continual basis with procedures that allow for problem loans and potential problem loans to be highlighted and watched. The loan policy regarding the grading and review system has recently been revised to enhance procedures for our growing portfolio of commercial loans as well as to update procedures for all other loans. Written reports are prepared on a quarterly basis for all loans. Information on commercial loans graded below a certain level is reported to the Board of Directors on a monthly basis. Based on experience, these loan policies and the Bank’s grading and review system, management believes the loan loss allowance is adequate.

Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when a loan is specifically determined to be impaired or when principal or interest is delinquent for 90 days or more. Interest income generally is not recognized on specific impaired loans unless the likelihood of further loss is remote. Interest income on other nonaccrual loans is recognized only to the extent of interest payments received. Following is a table showing the risk elements in the loan portfolio.

At September 30, 2004, other potential problem loans (excluding impaired loans) totalled $682,570. Loans are viewed as potential problem loans according to the ability of such borrowers to comply with current repayment terms. These loans are subject to constant management attention, and their status is reviewed on a regular basis. Management has allocated a portion of the allowance for these loans.

 

The comparison of the income statements for the three months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 shows similar differences between 2004 and 2003. Through June 30, total interest and dividend income increased due to loan fee income. The interest and dividend income increase during the third quarter was due to the prime rate increases. While income on the securities portfolio is down 15% at September 30, 2004 compared to September 30, 2003 due to lower interest rates, total interest and dividend income in 2004 is above 2003 levels due to performance of the loan portfolio. At the end of the first nine months of 2004, interest expense is at about the same level for the same time period in 2003. Net interest income has increased 11% in 2004 compared to 2003 with the increase in interest and dividend income and the same level of interest expense.

Table of Contents

Noninterest income increased 9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 compared to September 30, 2003. Particular accounts to note are listed below.

 

  Significant income growth has occurred in trust and financial services due primarily to fee accruals on several large estates as well as the addition of brokerage fees and commissions from BCT Investments.

 

  Service charges on deposit accounts and credit and debit card fees have increased due to fee increases effective August 1, 2003 and the growth in the deposit account base.

 

  Fees from production of secondary market loans are down since secondary market rates have increased.

 

  Income from the increase in cash surrender value of life insurance has decreased 14.6% as of September 30, 2004 compared to September 30, 2003 due to decreased rates on one of our three policies.

 

Other operating income has increased 10% as of September 30, 2004 compared to September 30, 2003. The most significant increase in this category is in the other fee income account due to fee increases effective August 1, 2003 and growth in the bank’s customer base.

 

Noninterest expense increased 5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 compared to the same period in 2003. Significant items to note are listed below.

 

  Group insurance expense is $40,000 less in 2004 than in 2003. During the first quarter of 2003 fees were being paid to our previous group insurance vendor in addition to paying the expense of our current vendor.

 

  401(k) expense in the first nine months of 2004 is more than the same time period in 2003 due to increase in the number of participants and increased contributions by the participants which in turn increases the employer expense. The increase in 401(k) expense is a positive position since management believes the plan is an incentive for good employees to remain at Bank of Charles Town.

 

  Stationery and supplies expense has decreased 31% at September 30, 2004 compared to September 30, 2003 due to fewer mass mailings and completion of the computer conversion which had created some extra expense.

 

  Advertising and marketing expenses have decreased in 2004 compared to 2003 as a result of intentional spending reductions.

 

  ATM and check card expenses have increased in the first nine months of 2004 compared to the same time period in 2003 primarily due to growth in the deposit account base.

 

  Increase in legal and professional fees due to payments to an outside firm who is currently doing bank wide operational efficiency and economical studies.

Table of Contents

Other operating expenses have increased 22% at September 30, 2004 compared to September 30, 2003. Significant increases in this category include the following.

 

  Contributions have increased as a result of spreading the expense throughout the year rather than making all expenditures at year end.

 

  Fees for the overdraft protection program have increased due to deposit growth and a fee increase effective August 1, 2003.

 

  Directors and committee fees have increased beginning in the second quarter with the election of two new directors in March 2004.

 

  In the trust department area a fee collected in a prior period in error was refunded with interest during the second quarter of 2004.

 

  Home equity closing costs have increased due to increased loan volume.

 

  Online banking expense is more than 2003 due to paying the remainder of a previous maintenance contract after we had begun using Jack Henry & Associates and paying for JHA maintenance.

 

  Incurrence of two new expense items: outsourcing of investment review of certain trust department accounts and the outsourcing of the internal audit function.

 

LIQUIDITY

 

Liquid assets of the company include cash and due from banks, securities purchased under agreements to resell, federal funds sold, securities available for sale, and loans and investments maturing within one year. The company’s statement of cash flows details the transactions of this liquidity since January 1, 2004.

 

Operating Activities. The company’s net income provides cash from the bank’s operating activities. The net income figure is adjusted for certain noncash transactions such as depreciation expense that reduces net income but does not require a cash outlay. Through September 30, 2004 net income as adjusted has provided cash of $4,270 thousand. Interest income earned on loans and investments is the company’s major income source.

 

Investing Activities. Customer deposits and company borrowings provide the funds used to invest in loans and securities investments. In addition, principal portion of loan payments and payoffs and investment maturities provide cash flow. Purchases of bank premises and equipment are an investing activity. The net amount of cash used in investing activities in 2004 through September 30 is $28,771 thousand.

 

Financing Activities. Customer deposits and company borrowings provide the financing for the investing activities as stated above. If the company has an excess of funds on any given day, the bank will sell these funds to make additional interest income to fund activities. Likewise, if the company has a shortage of funds on any given day it will purchase funds and pay interest for the use of these funds. Financing activities also include payment of dividends, purchase of shares of the company’s common stock for the treasury and repayment of any borrowed or purchased funds. The net amount of cash provided by financing activities in 2004 through September 30 is $24,531 thousand.

 

The company has additional funding sources in the Federal Home Loan Bank, The Bankers Bank and Mercantile-Safe Deposit and Trust Company. Liquidity of the company is adequate to meet present and future financial obligations.
