Material Changes vs. Prior Period
- Asset Growth: Total assets remained essentially flat ($492.2M vs. $491.7M at year-end 2006) due to weakened loan demand and the payoff of two large commercial loans in the first quarter.
- Deposits: Total deposits increased by approximately $9.1 million from year-end 2006, driven by a $5 million increase in money market accounts and a $10 million brokered certificate of deposit issue.
- Net Income: Net income for the six-month period was relatively flat ($2.263M vs. $2.273M in 2006). However, Q2 2007 net income increased 5.6% year-over-year to $1.179M.
- Expense Growth: Non-interest expenses increased significantly ($6.48M vs. $5.81M in 2006). This was primarily due to a $39,000 increase in salaries (addition of 15 full-time equivalents), higher occupancy costs from new offices in Middletown and Steelton, and a $100,000 increase in advertising expenses.
- Asset Quality: Non-performing assets increased to $3.26 million (0.66% of total assets) from $2.43 million (0.50%) at year-end 2006. Net charge-offs for the six months were $127,000.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
- Outlook: Management notes that results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of full-year results. Asset growth is currently hindered by a competitive lending environment.
- Interest Rate Risk: Management utilizes the Profitstar Asset-Liability Management Model. Scenarios involving a +/- 200 basis point change in interest rates remained within policy limits of +/- 15% impact on net interest income as of June 30, 2007.
- Liquidity: Liquidity is considered adequate, supported by operating funds and a $10 million brokered CD issue. Borrowings were reduced by approximately $9.5 million during the period.
- Capital: Capital ratios are well in excess of "well-capitalized" guidelines. The company executed a stock repurchase program, buying back 3,605 shares in Q2 2007 at an average price of $23.76.
- Risks: Key risks include economic conditions affecting customers, interest rate fluctuations, competition, and the failure of assumptions regarding loan reserves. No material litigation is currently pending.
- Unusual Items: The company recorded a $21,000 gain on the sale of an SBA loan and $62,000 in fees from third-party investment product sales in Q2. A 5% stock dividend was paid in May 2007.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Asset Quality Trend: Verify the increase in non-performing assets (from 0.50% to 0.66% of total assets) and the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses (1.17% of loans).
- Expense Management: Review the sustainability of increased non-interest expenses, particularly the $100,000 rise in advertising and the impact of new branch openings on profitability.
- Loan Demand: Assess the impact of "weakened loan demand" on future asset growth and net interest income, given the flat yield curve environment.
- Capital Deployment: Monitor the stock repurchase program progress and the utilization of the $10 million brokered CD proceeds.
- Regulatory Compliance: Confirm the status of the new Camp Hill branch facility, which received regulatory approval in July 2007 with a fall opening anticipated.
