A provision for loan losses is charged to earnings based upon management’s evaluation of the potential losses in its loan portfolio. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2003, management made provisions of $105,000 and $325,000, respectively, based on its evaluation of the loan portfolio, as compared to the provisions of $130,000 and $160,000, respectively, made in the comparable periods in 2002. Management believes that the allowance is adequate, primarily as a result of the overall quality, and the high percentage of residential single family home loans, in the portfolio.

(3) Regulatory Capital

 

The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Bank’s and the Company’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank’s assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.

 

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and percentages (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier I capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets and Tier I capital to average adjusted assets (as defined in the regulations). Management believes, as of June 30, 2003, that the Bank exceeds the minimum capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject.

 

In addition, as of June 30, 2003, the Bank met the requirements to be categorized as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as well capitalized, the Bank must maintain total risk-based, Tier I risk-based and Tier I leverage percentages as set forth in the table. There are no conditions or events since June 30, 2003 that management believes would change the institution’ s categorization as well capitalized. The following table summarizes the capital thresholds for each prompt corrective action capital category. An institution’s capital category is based on whether it meets the threshold for all three capital ratios within the category. The Bank’s actual capital amounts and percentages are also presented in the table ($ in thousands).

(4) Earnings Per Share of Common Stock

 

The Company follows the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, “Earnings Per Share” (“SFAS No. 128”). SFAS No. 128 provides accounting and reporting standards for calculating earnings per share. Basic earnings per share of common stock has been computed by dividing the net earnings for the period by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding including the dilutive effect of stock options computed using the treasury stock method. The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share of common stock (in thousands, except per share amounts):

The security agreement with FHLB includes a blanket floating lien requiring the Company to maintain qualifying first mortgage loans as pledged collateral in an amount equal to at least, when discounted at 75% of the unpaid principal balances, 100% of these advances. The FHLB stock is also pledged as collateral for these advances.

 

(6) Stock Option Plans

 

The Company has two stock options plans. The Key Employee Stock Compensation Program (the “Employee Plan”) is authorized to issue up to 475,000 shares as either incentive stock options, compensatory stock options, stock appreciation rights or performance shares. All awards granted under the Employee Plan have been incentive stock options. These options have ten year terms and vest ratably over various terms up to five years. At June 30, 2003, the Company had 137,554 shares remaining under the Employee Plan available for future grants.

 

The Directors’ Stock Option Plan (the “Director Plan”) is authorized to issue up to 140,000 shares. All options granted under the Director Plan have ten year terms, vest immediately and are not exercisable for a period of six months after the grant date. At June 30, 2003, the Company had 36,939 shares remaining under the Director Plan available for future grants.

(6) Stock Option Plans, Continued

 

During 1998, 350,000 options were granted under both plans at an exercise price less than the then market price. This amount is being expensed over the related vesting periods of options still outstanding. Compensation costs relating to these options was approximately $6,000 and $7,000 for the three months and $10,000 and $13,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

 

There were 15,000 stock options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2003. There were no stock option transactions during the six months ended June 30, 2002.

 

SFAS No. 123 requires pro forma fair value disclosures if the intrinsic value method is being utilized to calculate the fair value of options. For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value is included in expense in the period vesting occurs. The proforma information has been determined as if the Company had accounted for its stock options under the fair value method of SFAS No. 123. The Company accounts for their stock option plans under the recognition and measurement principles of APB No. 25. No stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net earnings, except for those options granted in 1998 as discussed above, as all stock options granted under the plans had 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 earnings and basic and diluted earnings per share as if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 to stock-based employee compensation ($ in thousands, except per share amounts):

Independent Accountants’ Report

 

The Board of Directors

Federal Trust Corporation

Sanford, Florida:

 

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Federal Trust Corporation and Subsidiary (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2003, the related condensed consolidated statements of earnings for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 and the related condensed consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

 

We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

 

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

We have previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2002, and the related consolidated statements of earnings, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 11, 2003 we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2002, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Comparison of June 30, 2003 and December 31, 2002

 

General

 

Federal Trust Corporation (“Federal Trust”), is the sole shareholder of Federal Trust Bank (“Bank”) (collectively, the “Company”). Federal Trust operates as a unitary savings and loan holding company and its primary business activity is the operation of the Bank.

 

The Bank is chartered as a federal-stock savings bank. The Bank provides a wide range of banking services to individual and corporate customers through its five offices located in Orange, Seminole and Volusia Counties, Florida. The Bank opened its fifth branch office in Deltona, Volusia County, Florida in June 2003. FTB Financial Services, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Bank, provides investment services to customers of the Bank.

 

Forward Looking Statements

 

Readers should note, in particular, that this document contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. When used in this document, or in the documents incorporated by reference herein, the words “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “may”, “intend” and “expect” and similar expressions identify certain of such forward-looking statements. Actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from those contemplated, expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements contained herein. Actual results may differ materially, depending upon a variety of important factors, including competition, inflation, general economic conditions, changes in interest rates and changes in the value of collateral securing loans we have made, among other things.

 

Capital Resources

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2003, the Company’s primary source of funds consisted of net increases in Federal Home Loan Bank advances of $43.0 million and deposits of $18.1 million, principal repayments and sales of securities available for sale of $13.6 million and net cash provided by operating activities of $11.2 million. The Company used its capital resources principally to purchase and originate loans, net of principal repayments of $62.1 million and to purchase securities available for sale of $30.0 million.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis

of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, Continued

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Aggregate Contractual Obligations

 

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, unused lines of credit, standby letters of credit and loans in process. These instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit and interest-rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The contract amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of the Company’s involvement in particular classes of financial instruments.

 

The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit, unused lines of credit and loans in process is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments.

 

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total committed amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s credit worthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if it is deemed necessary by the Company upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the counter party.

 

A summary of the amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, with off-balance sheet risk at June 30, 2003, follows (in thousands):

 

     Contract
Amount


Commitments to extend credit

   $ 7,036
    

Unused lines of credit

   $ 5,236
    

Standby letters of credit

   $ 96
    

Loans in process

   $ 3,035
    

 

Management believes the Company has adequate resources to fund all its commitments. At June 30, 2003, the Company had approximately $146.2 million in time deposits maturing in one year or less. Management also believes that, if so desired, it can adjust the rates on time deposits to retain or obtain new deposits in a changing interest rate environment.

 

Management believes the Bank was in compliance with all minimum capital requirements which it was subject to at June 30, 2003. See note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

Management is not aware of any trends, know demands, commitments or uncertainties which are expected to have a material impact on future operating results, liquidity or capital resources.

Comparison of the Three-Month Periods Ended June 30, 2003 and 2002

 

General. The Company had net earnings for the three-month period ended June 30, 2003 of $686,000 or $.10 per basic and diluted share, compared to $466,000 or $.08 per basic and diluted share for the same period in 2002. The increase in net earnings was primarily due to increases in net interest income and other income, partially offset by an increase in other expense.

 

Interest Income. Interest income increased by $88,000 or 1.8% to $5.0 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2003, from $4.9 million for the same period in 2002. Interest income on loans increased $32,000 to $4.7 million in 2003, primarily as a result of an increase in the average amount of loans outstanding from $260.9 million in 2002 to $351.3 million in 2003, partially offset by a decrease in the average yield earned on loans from 7.16% for the three-month period ended June 30, 2002, to 5.36% for the comparable period in 2003. Interest income on securities increased by $90,000 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2003, over the same period in 2002, primarily as a result of an increase in the average balance of securities owned, partially offset by a decrease in the average yield. Management expects the rates earned on the portfolio to fluctuate with general market conditions.

 

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased by $239,000 or 8.9% during the three-month period ended June 30, 2003, compared to the same period in 2002. Interest on deposits decreased $216,000 or 10.4% to $1.9 million in 2003 from $2.1 million in 2002, as a result of a decrease in the average cost of deposits from 3.57% for the three-month period ended June 30, 2002, to 2.54% for the comparable period in 2003, partially offset by an increase in average deposits outstanding from $231.6 million in 2002 to $291.3 million in 2003. Interest on other borrowings decreased to $593,000 in 2003 from $616,000 in 2002, primarily as a result of the decrease in the average rate paid on other borrowings from 4.77% in 2002 to 2.42% in 2003, mostly offset by an increase in the average amount of other borrowings outstanding from $51.7 million to $97.9 million. Management expects to continue to use FHLB advances and other borrowings as a liability management tool.

 

Provision for Loan Losses. A provision for loan losses is charged to earnings based upon management’s evaluation of the losses in its loan portfolio. During the quarter ended June 30, 2003, management recorded a provision for loan losses of $105,000 based on its evaluation of the loan portfolio, which was a decrease of $25,000 from the same period in 2002. The allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2003, was $2.5 million or .68% of total loans outstanding, versus $2.1 million at December 31, 2002, or .68% of total loans outstanding. Management believes the allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2003 is adequate.

 

Other Income. Other income increased $197,000 or 42.3% from $466,000 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2002, to $663,000 for the same period in 2003. The increase in other income was primarily due to increases of $50,000 and $176,000 in gain on sale of loans held for sale and gain on sale of securities available for sale, respectively. The increase in gain on sale of loans held for sale relates to the sale of a bulk loan package of residential loans to foreign national borrowers during the three-month period ended June 30, 2003. The gain on sale of securities available for sale resulted from the Company’s decision to sell several securities during the period.

 

Other Expense. Other expense increased $256,000 or 13.8% to $2.1 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2003, from $1.9 million for the same period in 2002. Salaries and employee benefits increased $64,000 and occupancy expense increased $97,000 due to the staffing and opening of the branch in Casselberry, Florida in December, 2002 and the overall growth of the Company.

 

Income Taxes. Income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2003, was $334,000 (an effective rate of 32.7%), compared to $261,000 (an effective rate of 35.9%) for the same period in 2002. The decrease in the effective tax rate resulted from an increase in tax-exempt income.

General. The Company had net earnings for the six-month period ended June 30, 2003 of $1.3 million or $.20 per basic and diluted share, compared to $918,000 or $.17 per basic and diluted share for the same period in 2002. The increase in net earnings was primarily due to increases in net interest income and other income, partially offset by increases in the provision for loan losses and other expense.

 

Interest Income. Interest income increased by $841,000 or 8.7% to $10.5 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2003, from $9.7 million for the same period in 2002. Interest income on loans increased $670,000 or 7.3% to $9.8 million in 2003 from $9.2 million in 2002, primarily as a result of an increase in the average amount of loans outstanding from $260.6 million in 2002 to $353.7 million in 2003, partially offset by a decrease in the average yield earned on loans from 7.03% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2002, to 5.56% for the comparable period in 2003. Interest income on securities increased by $235,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2003, over the same period in 2002, primarily as a result of an increase in the average balance of securities owned, partially offset by a decrease in the average yield. Management expects the rates earned on the portfolio to fluctuate with general market conditions.

 

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased by $237,000 or 4.3% during the six-month period ended June 30, 2003, compared to the same period in 2002. Interest on deposits decreased $361,000 or 8.5% to $3.9 million in 2003 from $4.2 million in 2002, as a result of a decrease in the average cost of deposits from 3.69% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2002, to 2.65% for the comparable period in 2003, partially offset by an increase in average deposits outstanding from $230.2 million in 2002 to $293.6 million in 2003. Interest on other borrowings increased to $1.3 million in 2003 from $1.2 million in 2002, primarily as a result of the increase in the average balance of other borrowings from $50.8 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2002 to $91.1 million for the comparable 2003 period, mainly offset by a decrease in the average rate paid on other borrowings from 4.75% in 2002 to 2.92% in 2003. Management expects to continue to use FHLB advances and other borrowings as a liability management tool.

 

Provision for Loan Losses. A provision for loan losses is charged to earnings based upon management’s evaluation of the losses in its loan portfolio. During the six months ended June 30, 2003, management recorded a provision for loan losses of $325,000 based on its evaluation of the loan portfolio, which was a increase of $165,000 from the same period in 2002, primarily as a result of the increase in total loans outstanding. The allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2003, was $2.5 million or .68% of total loans outstanding, versus $2.1 million at December 31, 2002, or .68% of total loans outstanding. Management believes the allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2003 is adequate.

 

Other Income. Other income increased $164,000 or 14.8% from $1.1 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2002, to $1.3 million for the same period in 2003. The increase in other income was primarily due to an increase of $371,000 in gain on sale of securities available for sale, partially offset by a decrease of $101,000 in gain on sale of loans held for sale. The decrease in gain on sale of loans held for sale relates to the Company’s strategy of retaining more residential loans in the portfolio instead of selling them in the secondary market over these two periods. The gain on sale of securities available for sale resulted from the Company’s decision to sell several securities during the period.

 

Other Expense. Other expense increased $514,000 or 13.8% to $4.2 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2003, from $3.7 million for the same period in 2002. Salary and employee benefits increased $198,000 and occupancy expense increased $73,000 due to the staffing and opening of the branch in Casselberry, Florida which was opened in December, 2002 and the overall growth of the Company.

 

Income Taxes. Income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2003, was $650,000 (an effective rate of 32.7%), compared to $509,000 (an effective rate of 35.7%) for the same period in 2002. The decrease in the effective tax rate resulted from an increase in tax-exempt income.
