Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies :

 

Basis of Presentation :

 

The consolidated financial statements for interim periods are unaudited and reflect all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments), which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The unaudited financial statements are presented in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and do not include all disclosures normally required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Consumers Bancorp, Inc.’s Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2005. The results of operations for the interim periods disclosed herein are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year.

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Consumers Bancorp, Inc. (the “Corporation”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Consumers National Bank (the “Bank”). All significant inter-company transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Segment Information: Consumers Bancorp, Inc. is a bank holding company engaged in the business of commercial and retail banking, which accounts for substantially all of the revenues, operating income, and assets.

 

Earnings per Share: Earnings per common share are computed based on the weighted average common shares outstanding. The weighted average number of outstanding shares was 2,143,444 and 2,146,281 for the quarter and year-to-date periods ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The Corporation’s capital structure contains no dilutive securities.

 

Operating Lease: During the second fiscal quarter of 2005, Consumers National Bank entered into an operating lease agreement for the Malvern branch location. The lessor of the property is a member of the Corporation’s Board of Directors. The initial term of the lease is a period of ten years. The base rent through the end of the fifth year is one percent of the total Project Cost, as defined in the lease agreement. At the beginning of year six, the rent to be paid shall be increased in accordance with the change in the Consumers Price Index. For years one through five, the estimated annual lease expense is $32 per year.

(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)

 

At December 31, 2005, available for sale securities included $2,185 of municipal securities with an aggregate book value of $2,175, or 11.2%, of shareholders’ equity that were issued by one issuer. Other than this issue, there were no other holdings of securities of any one issuer, other than the U.S. government and its agencies and corporations, with an aggregate book value which exceeds 10% of shareholders’ equity. As of December 31, 2005, any unrealized losses on securities that have been in a continuous loss position for 12 months or more have not been recognized into income because the issuer(s) securities are of high credit quality and the decline in fair value is largely due to changes in interest rates. The fair value is expected to recover as the securities approach their maturity dates.

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

 

(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)

 

General

 

The following is management’s analysis of the Corporation’s results of operations for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2005, compared to the same periods in 2004, and the consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2005 compared to June 30, 2005. This discussion is designed to provide a more comprehensive review of the operating results and financial condition than could be obtained from an examination of the financial statements alone. This analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related footnotes and the selected financial data included elsewhere in this report.

 

Overview

 

Consumers Bancorp, Inc., a bank holding company incorporated under the laws of the State of Ohio, owns all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Consumers National Bank, a bank chartered under the laws of the United States of America. The Corporation’s activities have been limited primarily to holding the common shares of the Bank. The Bank’s business involves attracting deposits from businesses and individual customers and using such deposits to originate commercial, mortgage and consumer loans in its market area, consisting primarily of Stark, Columbiana, Carroll and contiguous counties in Ohio. The Bank also invests in securities consisting primarily of U.S. government and government agency obligations, municipal obligations, mortgage-backed securities and other securities.

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

When used in this report (including information incorporated by reference in this report), the words or phrases “will likely result,” “are expected to,” “will continue,” “is anticipated,” “estimate”, “project,” “believe” or similar expressions are intended to identify “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements may involve risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict, may be beyond the Corporation’s control, and could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in such statements. Any such forward-looking statements are made only as of the date of this report or the respective dates of the relevant incorporated documents, as the case may be, and, except as required by law, the Corporation undertakes no obligation to update these forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events or circumstances. Factors that could cause actual results or experience to differ from results discussed in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: regional and national economic conditions; changes in levels of market interest rates; credit risks, competitive and regulatory factors effecting lending activities; government regulation, and material unforeseen changes in the financial condition or results of Consumers National Bank’s customers could affect the Corporation’s financial performance and could cause the Corporation’s actual results for future periods to differ materially from those anticipated or projected.

The risks and uncertainties identified above are not the only risks the Corporation faces. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to the Corporation or that the Corporation currently believes to be immaterial also may adversely affect the Corporation. Should any known or unknown risks and uncertainties develop into actual events, those developments could have material adverse effects on the Corporation’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Net income was $316 for the three months ended December 31, 2005, a decrease of $245 compared to the same period last year when net income was $561. Earnings per common share for the second fiscal quarter of 2005 was $0.15 as compared to $0.26 for the second fiscal quarter of 2004. These decreases were the result of an increase in provision expense and a decline in the net interest margin from 5.12% in the second fiscal quarter of 2004 to 4.63% for the same period in 2005.

 

Net income was $694 for the six months ended December 31, 2005, a decrease of $541 compared to the same period last year when net income was $1,235. Earnings per common share for the six month period ended December 31, 2005 was $0.32 as compared to $0.58 for the same period last year.

 

Return on average equity (ROE) and return on average assets (ROA) were 6.52% and 0.62%, respectively, for the second fiscal quarter of 2005 compared to 11.63% and 1.17%, respectively, for the second fiscal quarter of 2004.

 

ROE and ROA were 7.13% and 0.69%, respectively, for the six month period ended December 31, 2005 compared to 13.00% and 1.30%, respectively, for the same period ended in 2004.

 

Net Interest Income

 

Net interest income, the difference between interest income earned on interest-earning assets and interest expense incurred on interest-bearing liabilities, is the largest component of the Corporation’s earnings. Net interest income is affected by changes in the volumes, rates and composition of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest margin is calculated by dividing net interest income on a fully tax equivalent basis (FTE) by total interest-earning assets. FTE income includes tax-exempt income, restated to a pre-tax equivalent, based on the statutory federal income tax rate. All average balances are daily average balances. Non-accruing loans are included in average loan balances.

The Corporation’s net interest margin for the three months ended December 31, 2005 was 4.63%, compared to 5.12% for the same period last year. Net interest income for the three months ended December 31, 2005 decreased by $95, or 4.3%, to $2,109 from $2,204 for the same period last year. The decline in the net interest margin and net interest income was primarily due to an increase in cost of funds from 1.13% for the three months ended December 31, 2004 to 2.08% for the same period in 2005. The increase in the cost of funds was mainly caused by higher market rates affecting the rates paid on borrowings and rates paid on time deposits. The decline in net interest income for the three months ended December 31, 2005 was partially offset by a higher level of interest-earning assets as compared to the same period in 2004 combined with the Corporation’s yield on average interest-earning assets increasing to 6.22% for the three months ended December 31, 2005 from 5.95% for the comparable year ago period.

 

The Corporation’s net interest margin for the six months ended December 31, 2005 was 4.68%, compared to 5.18% for the same period last year. Net interest income for the six months ended December 31, 2005 was $4,218, a decrease of $277, or 6.2%, from $4,495 for the same period in 2004. The decrease in the net interest margin and net interest income was primarily attributable to an 80 basis point increase in the cost of interest-bearing liabilities.

Provision for Loan Losses

 

The provision for loan losses represents the charge to income necessary to adjust the allowance for loan losses to an amount that represents management’s assessment of the estimated probable credit losses inherent in the Bank’s loan portfolio that have been incurred at each balance sheet date. The provision for loan losses increased to $224 for the six month period ended December 31, 2005 compared to $21 for the same period last year. The higher provision for loan losses resulted mainly from an increase in the specific allocation related to impaired loans due to deterioration in collateral values. Net charge-offs were $177 for the six month period ended December 31, 2005 compared to $342 for the same period in 2004. In 2005, $80 of the net charge-offs related to a real estate loan that was foreclosed on resulting in the fair market value of the property being transferred into other real estate owned. This property was specifically allocated for within the allowance for loan loss in a prior period when the probable loss had been identified. A majority of the remaining net charge-offs were within the commercial and consumer loan portfolios, which also contributed to the higher provision expense for 2005. A majority of the charge-offs for the six months ended December 31, 2004 were isolated to a single borrower.

 

As older loans are paid down they have been replaced with loans of better credit quality due to enhanced credit analysis systems that were put in place to monitor the commercial loan portfolio. The Corporation has identified loans to small businesses mainly secured by real estate as an area of the market that provides growth opportunities. The general reserves on the homogeneous loan pools within the allowance for loan losses calculation reflect these shifts within the portfolio. Also, the continued economic uncertainty within the Company’s market area was considered within the allowance for loan loss calculation. The provision for loan losses was considered sufficient by management for maintaining an appropriate allowance for loan losses.

 

Non-Interest Income

 

Non-interest income decreased to $536 during the second fiscal quarter of 2005, compared to $590 for the same quarter last year. Within non-interest income, service charges on deposits decreased by $25 mainly due to lower overdraft fees. Also, the second fiscal quarter of 2004 included a $35 gain from the sale of available for sale securities.

 

Non-interest income was $1,116 for the six months ended December 31, 2005, compared to $1,191 during the same period last year. The six months ended December 31, 2004 included a $35 gain from the sale of available for sale securities. Also, other income decreased from $322 for the six months ended December 31, 2004 to $292 for the same period in 2005 mainly due to the sale of the Community Title Agency, Inc., which the Bank sold on October 1, 2004. At the time of its sale, Community Title Agency, Inc. accounted for less than 2% of the Corporation’s consolidated assets and business.

Non-Interest Expenses

 

Non-interest expenses increased 4.8%, to $2,075 during the second fiscal quarter of 2005, compared to $1,980 during the same quarter last year. Within non-interest expenses, salaries and employee benefits increased $102 as vacant senior management positions have been filled. This increase was partially offset by an $89 decrease in consulting and professional fees since the senior management team is now performing services that were previously performed by outside consultants. Also, contributing to the increase in non-interest expenses were fees associated with moving to an imaged environment in the Proof department. As a result of the imaged environment, Consumers is now able to electronically capture images at its branch locations eliminating the need to courier work from each branch to a central location. Long term objectives of moving to an imaged environment include: improving the ability to identify potential fraud by isolating checks that are inconsistent with historical account activity, intraday clearing allowing for quicker access to funds, and recognizing operational savings related to equipment maintenance and repair, and reduced courier and employee costs.

 

Non-interest expenses increased $333, to $4,228 for the six months ended December 31, 2005, compared to $3,895 during the same period last year. Within non-interest expenses, salaries and employee benefits increased $265 as vacant senior management positions have been filled, advertising expenses increased $51 as the Corporation has renewed its marketing efforts and repossession and collection fees increased $22 mainly due to expenses incurred related to real estate loans that were foreclosed on resulting in the fair market value of the properties being transferred into other real estate owned. These increases were partially offset by a $161 decrease in consulting and professional fees for the six months ended December 31, 2005 as compared to the same period last year.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income tax expense for the three months ended December 31, 2005 decreased $174, to $72 from $246, compared to the same period in 2004. The effective tax rate was 18.6% for the current quarter as compared to 30.5% for the same quarter last year. The provision for income taxes for the six months ended December 31, 2005 decreased $347 to $188 from $535 for the same period in 2004. The effective tax rate for the six months ended December 31, 2005 was 21.3% as compared to 30.2% for the same period in 2004. The effective tax rate differed from the federal statutory rate principally as a result of tax-exempt income from obligations of states and political subdivisions, loans and earnings on bank owned life insurance. The decline in the effective tax rate in 2005 as compared to 2004 was mainly due to tax-free income being a larger portion of pre-tax income.

 

Financial Condition

 

Total assets at December 31, 2005 were $205,117 compared to $191,180 at June 30, 2005, an increase of $13,937 or 7.3%. Available for sale securities have increased by $12,751 from $24,887 at June 30, 2005 to $37,638 at December 31, 2005. During the first fiscal quarter of 2005, $10.0 million of municipal securities were purchased.

Loan receivables remained relatively flat at $149,650 at December 31, 2005 compared with June 30, 2005. The Corporation has identified loans to small businesses mainly secured by real estate as an area of the market that provides growth opportunities. Additional personnel and systems have been added to analyze the commercial loan portfolio in order to take advantage of the growth opportunities and to manage the risk profile of the portfolio.

 

Total shareholders’ equity increased by $139 from June 30, 2005, to $19,436 as of December 31, 2005. This increase was caused by net income for the six month period which was partially offset by cash dividends paid and a decline in the fair market value of available for sale securities as a result of changes in interest rates.

have been considered in management’s analysis of the appropriateness of the allowance for loan losses. Management and the Board of Directors are closely monitoring these loans and believe that the prospects for recovery of principal and interest, less identified specific reserves, are good.

 

Liquidity

 

The objective of liquidity management is to ensure adequate cash flows to accommodate the demands of our customers and provide adequate flexibility for the Corporation to take advantage of market opportunities under both normal operating conditions and under unpredictable circumstances of industry or market stress. Cash is used to fund loans, purchase investments, fund the maturity of liabilities, and at times to fund deposit outflows and operating activities. The Corporation’s principal sources of funds are deposits; amortization and prepayments of loans; maturities, sales and principal receipts from securities; borrowings; and operations. Management considers the asset position of the Corporation to be sufficiently liquid to meet normal operating needs and conditions. The Corporation’s earning assets are mainly comprised of loans and investment securities. Management continually strives to obtain the best mix of loans and investments to both maximize yield and insure the soundness of the portfolio, as well as to provide funding for loan demand as needed.

 

The Corporation offers several deposit products to its customers. The rates offered by the Corporation and the fees charged for these products are competitive with others available currently in the market area. Interest rates on savings deposits have remained at historical low levels, while rates on demand deposits and time deposits have increased in recent months due to current market conditions.

 

To provide an additional source of liquidity, the Corporation has entered into an agreement with the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) of Cincinnati. At December 31, 2005, FHLB advances totaled $19,001 as compared with $2,335 at June 30, 2005. The increase in the FHLB advances from June 30, 2005 to December 31, 2005 was due to a $3,904 decline in deposits combined with a $12,751 increase in available for sale securities. The Corporation considers the FHLB to be a reliable source of liquidity funding, secondary to its deposit base.

 

Jumbo time deposits (those with balances of $100 thousand and over) decreased from $18,555 at June 30, 2005 to $13,933 at December 31, 2005. These deposits are monitored closely by the Corporation and priced on an individual basis. When these deposits are from a municipality, certain bank-owned securities are pledged to guarantee the safety of these public fund deposits as required by Ohio law. The Corporation has on occasion used a fee paid broker to obtain deposits from outside its normal service area as an additional source of funding. The Corporation however, does not rely upon these deposits as a primary source of funding. Although management monitors interest rates on an ongoing basis, a quarterly rate sensitivity report is used to determine the effect of interest rate changes on the financial statements. In the opinion of management, enough

assets or liabilities could be repriced over the near term (up to three years) to compensate for such changes. The spread on interest rates, or the difference between the average earning assets and the average interest-bearing liabilities, is monitored quarterly. It is the Corporation’s goal to maintain this spread at better than 4.0%. The spread, on a taxable equivalent basis, was 4.23% and 4.90% for the six month periods ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

The Corporation and subsidiary Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal regulatory agencies. Capital adequacy guidelines and prompt corrective-action regulations involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices. Failure to meet various capital requirements can initiate regulatory action that could have a direct material effect on the Corporation’s financial statements. The Bank is considered well capitalized under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act at December 31, 2005. Management is not aware of any matters occurring subsequent to December 31, 2005 that would cause the Bank’s capital category to change.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The financial condition and results of operations for the Corporation presented in the Consolidated Financial Statements, accompanying notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations are, to a large degree, dependent upon the Corporation’s accounting policies. The selection and application of these accounting policies involve judgments, estimates and uncertainties that are susceptible to change.

 

The Company has identified the appropriateness of the allowance for loan losses is a critical accounting policy and an understanding of this policy is necessary to understand the financial statements. Critical accounting policies are those policies that require management’s most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Footnote one (Allowance for Loan Losses), footnote three (Loans) and Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results from Operation (Critical Accounting Policies and Allowance for Loan Losses) of the 2005 Form 10-K provide detail with regard to the Corporation’s accounting for the allowance for loan losses. There have been no significant changes in the application of accounting policies since June 30, 2005.

Item 3 - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

Market risk is the risk that a financial institution’s earnings and capital, or its ability to meet its business objectives, will be adversely affected by movements in market rates or prices such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, equity prices, credit spreads and/or commodity prices. Within the Bank, the dominant market risk exposure is changes in interest rates. The negative effect of this exposure is felt through the net interest margin and the market value of various assets and liabilities.

 

The Bank measures interest-rate risk from the perspectives of earnings at risk and value at risk. The primary purpose of both the loan and investment portfolios is the generation of income, but credit risk is the principal focus of risk analysis in the loan portfolio and interest-rate risk is the principal focus in the investment portfolio. Because of the greater liquidity of the investment portfolio, it is the vehicle for managing interest-rate risk in the entire balance sheet. The Bank manages its interest rate risk position using simulation analysis of net interest income and net income over a two-year period. The Bank also calculates the effect of an instantaneous change in market interest rates on the economic value of equity or net portfolio value. Once these analyses are complete, management reviews the results, with an emphasis on the income-simulation results for purposes of managing interest-rate risk. The rate sensitivity position is managed to avoid wide swings in net interest margins. Measurement and identification of current and potential interest rate risk exposures are conducted quarterly, with reporting and monitoring also occurring quarterly. The Bank applies interest rate shocks to its financial instruments up and down 100 and 200 basis points.

 

The following table presents an analysis of the potential sensitivity of the Bank’s annual net interest income and present value of the Bank’s financial instruments to a sudden and sustained increase and decrease change in market interest rates of 200 and 100 basis points:

 

     Maximum Change
2005


    Guidelines

 

One Year Net Interest Income Change

            

+200 Basis Points

   (2.7 )%   16 %

+100 Basis Points

   (1.4 )%   8 %

-100 Basis Points

   2.4 %   8 %

-200 Basis Points

   4.3 %   16 %

Net Present Value of Equity Change

            

+200 Basis Points

   (11.7 )%   30 %

+100 Basis Points

   (4.5 )%   20 %

-100 Basis Points

   1.9 %   20 %

-200 Basis Points

   1.2 %   30 %

 

The projected volatility of net interest income and net present value of equity shown in the table falls within Board of Directors guidelines in right hand column.

 

The preceding analysis is based on numerous assumptions, including relative levels of market interest rates, loan prepayments and reactions of depositors to changes in interest rates, and should not be relied upon as being indicative of actual results. Further, the analysis does not necessarily contemplate all actions the Bank may undertake in response to changes in interest rates.

In the event of any default by Lessee under Section 11.1 hereof, Lessor may at once thereafter or at any time subsequently during the existence of such breach or default, (i) enter into and upon the Demised Premises or any part thereof and repossess the same, expelling and removing therefrom all persons and property (which property may be removed and stored at the cost of, and for the account of Lessee), and (ii) either (a) terminate this Lease, holding Lessee for damages for Lessee’s breach (after Lessor exercises commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate its damages) or (b) without terminating this Lease, re-let the Demised Premises or any part hereof upon such terms and conditions as shall appear advisable to Lessor. If Lessor elects to re-let the Demised Premises, and the amounts received from re-letting of the Demised Premises during any month or part thereof be less than the rent due and owing from Lessee during such month or part thereof under the terms of this Lease, Lessee shall pay such deficiency to Lessor immediately upon calculation thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any default (except failure to pay rent or any other

amount due hereunder) the curing of which shall actually require more than thirty (30) days because of any cause beyond Lessee’s control, shall be deemed cured by Lessee if Lessee shall have commenced to cure said default within the thirty (30) day period and shall thereafter have successfully prosecuted the curation of said default with all due diligence.

 

Section 11.3 Lessor’s Default . It shall be an event of default under this Lease if Lessor fails to observe or perform any of the covenants, conditions, or obligations of Lessor provided for in this Lease and such failure continues for thirty (30) days or more after Lessee gives written notice to Lessor of such default, provided however, that if Lessor is able to commence to cure such default within thirty (30) days, but is unable to complete the cure within thirty (30) days despite the exercise of reasonable diligence, the time to cure shall be extended for so long thereafter as Lessor diligently prosecutes the same.

 

Section 11.4 Lessee’s Remedies . In the event of a default by the Lessor, which is not cured as provided in Section 11.3 above, the Lessee may take such action as may be reasonably required to remedy such default and if the Lessee suffers damages as a result of such default, or is required to expend funds to cure such default, in addition to any other remedy available to Lessee at law or equity, the Lessee may deduct the cost of same from the then current rent payable to the Lessor under Article IV of this Lease.

 

ARTICLE XII

DESTRUCTION OF PREMISES

 

Section 12.1 Restoration . Lessee shall promptly notify Lessor of any material damage or casualty to the Building or the Demised Premises. Except as expressly provided in Section 15.2 below, after any damage or casualty to the Building or the Demised Premises, Lessee shall, at its expense, promptly repair and restore the Building and Demised Premises to substantially their condition prior to such damage or destruction so that the fair market value of the Building and Demise Premises are substantially equal to the value thereof immediately prior to the casualty. Lessee shall not be entitled to any reduction or abatement in Rent during the time the Demised Premises may have been rendered untenantable, either in whole or in part, as a result of such damage or destruction, no matter what the cause.

 

Section 12.2 Termination . If the damage or casualty occurs during the last three (3) years of the Initial Term or a Renewal Term, and if the cost or restoration exceeds fifty percent (50%) of the replacement cost of the Building, then Lessee may terminate this Lease by giving Lessor written notice within ninety (90) days after the occurrence of such casualty. If the Lease is not terminated, Lessee shall be obligated to restore the Demised Premises as provided in Section 12.1 above. If this Lease is terminated, Lessee shall be required to clear the Demised Premises of all damage or destruction and all insurance proceeds shall be paid to Lessor, less the cost of clearing the damage and debris. However, Lessee shall be entitled to insurance proceeds attributable to Lessee’s trade fixtures and personal property, business interruption and other components of insurance coverage not related to the Building.

ARTICLE XIII

GOVERNMENT REGULATION

 

Section 13.1 Government Regulation . At Lessee’s expense, Lessee will comply with all laws, ordinances, rules and regulations of any federal, state and municipal government or their appropriate regulatory agencies now in force or which may hereafter be in force, relating to the carrying on of Lessee’s business.
