See accompanying notes to consolidated financial statements. 4 5 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 1995 and 1994 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES BASIS OF PRESENTATION Leader Financial Corporation and subsidiary (the "Company") is a Tennessee-chartered Unified Thrift Holding Company. The Company was organized on March 18, 1993, in connection with the conversion of its principal subsidiary, Leader Federal Bank for Savings and subsidiaries (the "Bank"), from a federal mutual savings bank to a federally-chartered capital stock savings bank. The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to generally accepted accounting principles and to general practice within the thrift industry. Company operations are conducted through the Company and the Company's principal wholly-owned subsidiaries, as follows: Leader Federal Mortgage, Inc. ............................................................. Mortgage banking Leader Services, Inc..............................Insurance and Alternative Investment products Leader Leasing, Inc...........................................................Equipment Leasing
All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated and certain 1994 and 1993 amounts have been reclassified to conform to 1995 presentation. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported balances of assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated statements of financial position and income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ significantly from these estimates. CASH EQUIVALENTS The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with maturities when purchased of three months or less to be cash equivalents. SECURITIES HELD-TO-MATURITY If at the time of purchase, management has the positive intent and the Company has the ability to hold securities until maturity, they are classified as held-to-maturity and are carried at amortized cost. Premiums and discounts are amortized using the interest method. Declines in value other than temporary in nature are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations. SECURITIES AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE Securities available-for-sale include non-mortgage, mortgage derivative and mortgage-backed securities which may be sold in response to, or in anticipation of, changes in interest rates and/or prepayments, liquidity considerations, or other factors. Gains and losses on the sale of securities available-for-sale are determined on the identified-certificate basis. Declines in value other than temporary in nature are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations. LOANS HELD FOR SALE Loans originated for sale are carried at the lower of aggregate cost or estimated market value. Market value is based on actual investor commitments or, in the absence of such commitments, on current investor yield requirements. LOANS RECEIVABLE AND INCOME RECOGNITION THEREON Loans are reported net of (i) unearned discount and net deferred loan origination costs, (ii) undisbursed portion of loans in process and (iii) allowance for loan losses. A loan is impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement or there can be no assurance of collection through a third party guarantee. The Company measures impairment based on the fair value of the loan's collateral. Changes in fair value are recorded through a valuation allowance. Charge-offs occur in the event of foreclosure if fair value is less than book value. The Company's policy for recognizing income on impaired loans is to accrue earnings unless a loan is in foreclosure or becomes nonperforming, at which time a reserve for uncollectable interest is established. Cash receipts for impaired loans are allocated to principal and interest in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan. Loan fees and certain direct loan origination costs are offset and the net amount deferred and amortized as a yield adjustment to the related loans over the expected life of the loans. ALLOWANCES FOR LOSSES The Company's portfolios of loans and real estate are reviewed monthly, considering such factors as current/anticipated economic conditions, loss experience with various loan types, industry, geographic or other concentrations and the credit quality of individual borrowers. Based upon this review, provisions for losses are charged to operations when losses are probable of occurrence and reasonably estimable. While management uses all available information to estimate losses on loans and real estate owned, further additions to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the allowances for loans and real estate. Such agencies may require the Company to recognize additions to the allowances based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination. INTEREST RATE INSTRUMENTS Various forms of interest rate instruments are used to adjust the maturity structure of liabilities and assets in order to manage the Company's exposure to fluctuating interest rates. These instruments include interest rate swap agreements and interest rate caps. These instruments are used only to hedge specifically identified assets and liabilities and are not used for speculative purposes. Fees associated with these agreements are accreted into income or amortized to expense on a straight-line basis over the lives of the agreements. In the event of a termination of these instruments, any resulting gains or losses will be deferred and amortized over the shorter of the remaining term to maturity of the related hedged asset or liability or the remaining life of the instrument. Interest paid or received associated with the swap or cap agreements is reflected a component of net interest margin. PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT Premises and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation provided for on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. REAL ESTATE OWNED OR HELD FOR DEVELOPMENT Upon acquisition, real estate acquired in foreclosure is recorded at the lower of cost or discounted fair value less estimated selling costs. Subsequent declines in value are recognized through charges to the Company's valuation allowance accounts. Costs of developing or improving such properties are capitalized. Operating income or expenses are recognized when incurred. The carrying value of real estate held for development includes capital contributions, loans to and operating results from joint venture entities and capitalized development costs. MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS Mortgage servicing rights acquired in bulk from third parties are recorded at cost and are amortized using the interest method over the expected lives of the underlying mortgages based upon current estimates of prepayments. Adjustments to amortized cost are made when unanticipated prepayments reduce the estimated future net servicing income, discounted at the anticipated yield at date of acquisition, below the current carrying value of the servicing rights. Amortization of purchased servicing rights is charged against loan servicing revenue in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. RETIREMENT PLAN Substantially all employees of the Company participate in a non-contributory, defined benefit plan. Annual funding is based on an actuarially determined amount using the projected unit credit cost method. EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE Earnings per common share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding assuming exercise of in-the-money stock options using the treasury stock method. The weighted average number of shares outstanding at December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 is 10,083,219, 10,391,254 and 11,129,094, respectively. The 1993 computation is based on fourth quarter income since the stock conversion occurred on September 30, 1993. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("FAS") No. 121 "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of," issued in March, 1995, provides guidance for recognition of impairment losses related to long-lived assets, and certain intangibles and related goodwill. The Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. FAS No. 122 "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights, an amendment of FAS No. 65" was issued in May, 1995. The Statement requires a mortgage banking enterprise to recognize as seperate assets the rights to service mortgage loans for others, however those servicing rights are acquired. It also requires the fair value assessment of capitalized mortgage servicing rights with impairment recognized as a charge to earnings. The Statement is to be applied prospectively in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. FAS No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" was issued in October, 1995, and provides for a fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation arrangements rather than the intrinsic value method now followed. Adoption of the fair value method for purposes of preparing basic financial statements is not required although disclosure or the effect of such adoption is. The Statement is effective for options awarded after December 15, 1995. Management believes the adoption of the above-mentioned Statements will not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. 5 6 LEADER FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) December 31, 1995 and 1994 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 2: SECURITIES The amortized cost and fair value of securities at December 31, 1995 and 1994 were as follows:

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of securities at December 31, 1995, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities due to normal amortization and because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. The following table does not take into consideration the effects of scheduled repayments or the effects of possible prepayments.

On November 15, 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued a special report pertaining to the implementation of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115 Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities (FAS 115). Concurrent with the issuance of the report but no later than December 31, 1995, the FASB allowed for a reassessment of the appropriateness of the classification of securities held at that time and to account for any resulting reclassification at fair value. Reclassifications from the held-to-maturity category that were a result of this one-time assessment would not call into question the intent of the Company to hold other debt securities until maturity in the future. Based upon this guidance, the Company transferred municipal and mortgage-backed securities with an amortized cost of $189,989,000 and an estimated fair value of $193,388,000 to the available-for-sale category with a resulting unrealized gain of $3,399,000. In addition, the Company transferred mortgage-backed securities with an amortized cost of $11,338,000 from the held-to-maturity category to the available-for-sale category because the underlying principal balances had paid down by more than 85%. The resulting unrealized gain on this transfer was $292,000. 6 7 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 3: LOANS RECEIVABLE AND ALLOWANCES FOR LOSSES Loans receivable at December 31, 1995 and 1994 are summarized as follows:

The Company's portfolio of conventional one to four family loans, construction loans, home equity loans and home improvement/second mortgage loans are substantially concentrated in loans secured by real estate within the State of Tennessee. As such, economic conditions in that state will directly impact borrower delinquencies, collateral values and ultimate realization of the carrying value of a majority of the Company's loans. Other loan categories are not concentrated in any one state or region. The Company purchases certain delinquent FHA/VA insured/guaranteed loans from third parties and out of GNMA pools it services for others. The accounts in the table above include approximately $833.0 million and $538.5 million of purchased FHA/VA loans of which $334.0 million and $210.6 million were contractually delinquent more than three months at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The Company has advanced payments for taxes and insurance totalling $10.1 million on behalf of these borrowers as of December 31, 1995. The Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 114, Accounting by Creditors of Impairment of Loans ("FAS 114"), as amended by Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 118, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan - Income Recognition and Disclosures ("FAS 118"), effective January 1, 1995. Prior periods have not been restated. All applicable loans receivable, primarily commercial, have been evaluated for collectibility under the provision of these statements. The adoption of these statements had no material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. Non-accrual loans and in-substance foreclosures totaled approximately $10,452,000 and $9,083,000 at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Interest income not recognized by the Company on non-accrual loans approximated $881,000, $821,000 and $397,000 for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

The Company has entered into a blanket floating lien security agreement with the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) of Cincinnati. Under the terms of this agreement, the Company is required to maintain unencumbered, qualifying first mortgage loans in an amount equal to 150% of outstanding advances and its investment in FHLB stock as collateral for those advances. At December 31, 1995, the Company had available collateral for additional borrowings under this agreement of approximately $129,500,000. At December 31, 1995 and 1994, approximately $173,239,000 and $135,234,000, respectively, of FHLB advances were repayable in monthly installments over terms not exceeding 180 months. All other advances are payable at maturity. EXTRAORDINARY ITEM During 1993, the Company reacquired its 14-3/4% subordinated debentures due in 1997 and elected early prepayment of selected above market rate Federal Home Loan Bank advances. A pretax loss of $1.7 million was incurred on the extinguishment of $43.8 million of such debts. The loss is included in the accompanying financial statements, net of tax benefits of approximately $646,000.

Retained earnings at December 31, 1995, includes approximately $15,000,000 of statutory bad debt deductions for which no provision for federal income taxes has been made. If, in the future, this portion of retained earnings is used for any purpose other than to absorb bad debt losses, federal income taxes may be imposed at the then current rates. NOTE 10: EMPLOYEE BENEFIT AND POST RETIREMENT PLANS The Company maintains a non-contributory defined benefit pension plan (the "Plan") which covers substantially all employees. Annual funding is based on an actuarially determined amount using the projected unit credit cost method. Benefits are based on years of service and the employees' compensation. Pension plan assets consist principally of listed stocks and bonds and United States Government securities. The Company makes contributions to the Plan which equal or exceed the minimum amounts required by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. Pension expense amounted to approximately $257,000, $298,000 and $260,000 for 1995, 1994, and 1993, respectively, and included the following components:
(In thousands) ------------------------------- 1995 1994 1993 ------------------------------- Actual gain on plan assets $(4,011) (697) (2,136) Service cost earned during the year 507 620 531 Interest cost on projected benefit obligation 837 744 655 Net amortization and deferral 2,924 (369) 1,210 ------- ----- ------- $ 257 298 260 ======= ===== =======
At December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, the actuarial present value of vested benefit obligations was $9,921,000, $8,248,000 and $7,820,000 and the actuarial present value of accumulated benefit obligations was $10,195,000, $8,417,000 and $8,006,000, respectively. The funded status of the Plan at December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 was as follows:
(In thousands) ------------------------------- 1995 1994 1993 ------------------------------- Plan assets at market value $15,955 12,411 12,108 Actuarial present value of projected benefit obligation 13,556 10,363 9,928 ------- ------ ------ Funded status 2,399 2,048 2,180 Unrecognized net transition asset (638) (735) (832) Prior service cost (464) (535) (495) Net gain from past experience different from that assumed and effects of changes in assumptions (1,339) (564) (341) ------- ------ ------ Prepaid (accrued) pension expense recorded in the financial statements $ (42) 214 512 ======= ====== ======
Principal assumptions used in determining the projected benefit obligations and the expected return on assets were as follows:
Discount Compensation Expected Return Rate Increase on Plan Assets ---------------------------------------------- 1993 7.5% 5.0% 7.5% 1994 8.0% 5.0% 7.5% 1995 7.0% 5.0% 7.5%
The unrecognized net transition asset is being amortized over 16.55 years, the remaining average service life of the eligible employees at January 1, 1986. 10 11 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ NOTE 10: EMPLOYEE BENEFIT AND POST RETIREMENT PLANS (continued) The Company provides a savings plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code covering substantially all full-time employees. Employee contributions are partially matched by the Company and the Company pays all plan expenses. Total savings plan expense was $311,000, $244,000 and $306,000 for 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The Company maintains a self-insured, unfunded contributory employee welfare plan which provides both medical and dental benefits to eligible employees, retirees and their dependents. The following table sets forth the plan's unfunded status as of December 31, 1995 and 1994:
(In thousands) ------------------------ 1995 1994 ------------------------ Accumulated Postretirement Benefit Obligation: Retiree participants $ (606) (674) Fully eligible active plan participants (1,300) (1,066) -------- ------- Accumulated postretirement benefit obligation in excess of plan assets (1,906) (1,740) Unrecognized prior service cost (488) -- Unrecognized net (gain) loss from past experience different from that assumed and from change in assumptions 280 (132) -------- ------- Accrued postretirement benefit cost included in other liabilities $ (2,114) (1,872) ======== =======
Net periodic postretirement benefit cost for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 include the following components:
(In thousands) ------------------------ 1995 1994 ------------------------ Service cost $ 101 104 Interest cost 156 126 -------- -------- Net periodic postretirement benefit cost $ 257 230 ======== ========
For measurement purposes, a 12 percent and 15 percent annual rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered health care benefits was assumed for pre-age 65 participants and a 10 percent and 13 percent for post-age 65 participants for 1995 and 1994, respectively. These rates were assumed to decrease gradually to 5.5 percent in the year 2005 and remain at that level thereafter. The health care cost trend rate assumption has a significant effect on the amounts reported. Increasing the assumed health care cost trend rates by 1 percentage point in each year would increase the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation by $392,000 and $324,000 for 1995 and 1994, respectively, and the aggregate of the service and interest cost components of net periodic postretirement benefit cost by $56,000 and $54,000 for 1995 and 1994, respectively. The weighted average discount rate used in determining the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation was 7 percent and 8 percent in 1995 and 1994, respectively. The Leader Financial Corporation Employee Stock Ownership Plan and Trust (the "ESOP") covers substantially all full-time employees who have attained age 21 and completed a year of service. The ESOP borrowed $4.8 million from the Company to purchase 480,000 shares of the Company's common stock. The receivable from the ESOP is included in unearned compensation in stockholders' equity of the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Such shares are held in suspense pending repayment of the debt, at which time they are released and allocated to participants in proportion to the principal amount of the debt retired. The debt is repayable in annual installments over a ten year period, bears interest at prime plus one percent and may be prepaid at any time without penalty. Although annual contributions are not required, it is anticipated that the Company will contribute sufficient funds to the ESOP to provide for debt repayment. Dividends paid by the Company with respect to both allocated and unallocated shares are used first to repay all acquisition indebtedness and are then paid directly to plan participants. Although the Company retains the right to repurchase shares distributed under the ESOP, it is under no obligation to do so. The following table summarizes activity in the ESOP since its inception:
Shares -------------------------------------- In Committed to suspense be released Allocated -------------------------------------- Balance, December 31, 1993 468,000 12,000 -- Shares allocated -- (12,000) 12,000 Debt repaid (48,000) 48,000 -- ------- ------ ------ Balance, December 31, 1994 420,000 48,000 12,000 SHARES ALLOCATED -- (48,000) 48,000 DEBT REPAID (48,000) 48,000 -- SHARES DISBURSED (587) 587 -- ------- ------ ------ BALANCE, DECEMBER 31, 1995 371,413 48,587 60,000 ======= ====== ======
At December 31, 1995 and 1994, unearned compensation attributable to the ESOP included in stockholders' equity in the accompanying consolidated financial statements was $3,720,000 and $4,200,000, respectively. During 1994, Statement of Position 93-6, "Employers' Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans," required employers to recognize compensation expense equal to the fair value of shares committed to be released. Under the previous method, compensation expense was recognized at cost. The amount of compensation expense recognized during 1995 and 1994 was $1,468,000 and $1,127,000, respectively. The difference between the fair value of the shares committed to be released and the cost of the shares was credited to additional paid-in capital in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The excess cost for 1995 and 1994 was $988,000 and $647,000, respectively. At December 31, 1995, the ESOP held 479,413 shares with a fair market value of approximately $17,918,000. NOTE 11: STOCK OPTION AND STOCK AWARD PLANS During 1993, the Company adopted the Leader Financial Corporation 1993 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the "Option Plan") which provides for the granting of qualifying and non-qualifying options to purchase shares of the Company's common stock to directors and key employees of the Company and its subsidiary. All options are granted at market value on the date of grant, include a three-year vesting period and are exercisable for a ten-year period. Also during 1993, the Company adopted the Leader Financial Corporation Management Recognition Plan (the "MRP Plan") which provides for the awarding of shares to directors and key employees contingent upon meeting certain vesting provisions. The Company recorded approximately $860,000, $860,000 and $215,000 in compensation expense in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively, related to the grants awarded under this plan. The following table summarizes the changes in outstanding options and grants during the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1995:

NOTE 12: REGULATORY CAPITAL MATTERS FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION IMPROVEMENT ACT OF 1991 ("FDICIA") FDICIA governs the legal and regulatory operating environment of insured depository institutions, including provisions for reductions in insurance coverage for certain kinds of deposits, supervision by federal regulatory agencies, reporting requirements for insured institutions, and regulations concerning capital maintenance, internal controls, accounting, and operations. The capital categories, in declining order, are "well capitalized," "adequately capitalized," "undercapitalized," "significantly undercapitalized," and "critically undercapitalized." To be considered "adequately capitalized," an institution must generally have a leverage ratio of at least 4 percent, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of at least 4 percent, and a total risk-based capital ratio of at least 8 percent. An institution is deemed to be "critically undercapitalized" if it has a tangible equity ratio of 2 percent or less. The following table summarizes the Company's capital categories at December 31, 1995 (dollars in thousands): Leverage ratio 5.95% Tier 1 risk-based ratio 13.41 Risk-based ratio 14.51 Tangible equity ratio 5.95 Tier 1 capital $184,150 Risk-based capital $199,313

Management has made estimates, excluding the effect of income taxes, of fair value (discount) rates that it believes to be reasonable. However, because there is no market for these financial instruments, management has no basis to determine whether the rates shown would be indicated in an actual sale. The reader is encouraged to use different discount rates to calculate fair values for the Company's financial instruments if such rates are believed to be more appropriate. 13 14 LEADER FINANCIAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) December 31, 1995 and 1994 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 14: OFF-BALANCE SHEET AND OTHER RISK ASSESSMENT In the normal course of business, the Company enters into financial agreements not included in the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position which contain elements of both credit and market risk. These agreements, which include commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit, lines of credit, interest rate swaps, interest rate caps and forward sales of mortgage products, are executed in order to meet the financing needs of customers or to reduce the Company's exposure to interest rate fluctuations. COMMITMENTS TO ORIGINATE/SELL LOANS - At December 31, 1995 and 1994, the Company had outstanding unfunded commitments to originate loans (including revolving arrangements under credit card and home equity lines) totaling approximately $173,940,000 and $149,895,000, respectively, as follows:
(In thousands) ------------------ December 31, 1995 1994 ------------------ Consumer $110,556 93,184 Residential 26,641 32,717 Mortgage warehouse lines 34,358 21,302 Construction 1,303 1,945 Commercial/corporate 1,082 747 --------- --------- TOTAL $173,940 $149,895 ========= =========
Outstanding commitments under fixed rate, revolving credit card arrangements were approximately $64,784,000 and $50,560,000 at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Interest rates on these commitments were 12.0 - 14.9 percent and 12.4 - 17.9 percent, respectively. Approximately $8,914,000 and $2,948,000 of commitments to originate fixed rate residential loans were outstanding at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Interest rates on these commitments ranged from 5.5 - 7.6 percent and 7.1 - 9.2 percent, respectively. Commitments to originate residential loans are normally outstanding for sixty days. At December 31,1995 and 1994, the Company has outstanding commitments under warehouse lines of credit totaling $54,000,000 and $24,000,000, respectively. Interest rates on these arrangements range from 6.0 - 9.5 percent and 6.1-9.5 percent, respectively and may be fixed or variable. Interest is charged on the outstanding principal balance which is approximately $19,642,000 at December 31, 1995. These commitments generally have terms to 12 months and may be renewed contingent on the customer continuing to meet certain lending criteria. The fair value of commitments to originate loans is considered to be the original fee charged for the commitment. Noncancellable commitments to sell loans at December 31, 1995 and 1994, all of which related to residential loans, totaled approximately $17,796,000 and $4,018,000, respectively. Loan commitments have off-balance sheet credit risk because only origination fees and accruals for possible losses are recognized in the accompanying consolidated financial statements until the commitments are fulfilled. Credit risk represents the accounting loss that would be recognized at the reporting date if counterparties failed to perform as contracted. The credit risk amounts are equal to the contractual amounts, assuming the amounts are fully advanced and collateral or other security is of no value. The Company's policy requires adherence to specific underwriting requirements and generally obtaining adequate collateral prior to the disbursement of approved loans. The Company does not anticipate any significant gains or losses from these transactions. STANDBY LETTERS OF CREDIT Standby letters of credit are commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the provided performance of a customer to a third party. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. The Company provided a standby letter of credit for a Multifamily Industrial Development Revenue Bond issue totaling approximately $5,990,000 at December 31, 1994. Fees collected for providing letters of credit amounted to approximately $690,000, $378,000 and $624,000 for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. These fees have been reflected in loan fees in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. Other Company obligations under letters of credit are not significant. INTEREST RATE SWAPS/CAPS The Company has contractually agreed to pay fixed rates of interest on several swap agreements which function as an offset against rising rates of interest on Federal Home Loan Bank advances. The notional amount of these swap agreements is $330,000,000 and $30,000,000 at December 31, 1995 and 1994. In exchange, the Company receives interest on the notional amount principally at the three-month Libor rate, which is 5.875 percent at December 31, 1995. Notional principal amounts are used to express the volume of these transactions, but the amounts potentially subject to credit risk are much smaller. The differential to be paid or received, including any fees paid, is recognized over the life of the agreements. The $330,000,000 notional agreements have maturities from February 14, 1996 to June 12, 2001, and fixed interest payment rates ranging from 5.46 to 7.11 percent. The fair value of interest rate swaps is the cost that would be incurred to terminate the agreements. The unrealized loss for the swaps at December 31, 1995 and 1994 was approximately $4,072,000 and $352,000, respectively. The Company is required to maintain letters of credit as collateral to be drawn upon in the event the Company were to default on scheduled payments. At December 31, 1995, the outstanding letters of credit totaled $1,600,000. Interest rate exchange agreements as of December 31, 1995 are summarized as follows:
Interest Rates Notional Principal --------------------------------------- Amount Agreement Paid by Received by (in thousands) Termination the Company the Company - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- $ 20,000 1996 Fixed Indexed to 7.11% 3 month Treasury Bill $ 125,000 1996 - 1997 Fixed Indexed to Range 5.46-6.13% 3 month LIBOR Average 5.89% $ 80,000 1998 - 1999 Fixed Indexed to Range 5.27-6.38% 3 month LIBOR Average 5.93% $ 105,000 2000 - 2001 Fixed Indexed to Range 5.84-6.45% 3 month LIBOR Average 6.08% ---------- $ 330,000 ==========
The Company purchased an interest rate cap during 1995 with a notional principal amount of $50,000,000 for approximately $400,000. The cap also functions as an offset against rising interest rates. If the three-month Libor rate exceeds 6.9375%, the Company will receive a payment for the difference between the actual rate and 6.9375%. These payments would be received quarterly. If the three-month Libor rate does not exceed 6.9375%, the Company will not receive any payments. The cost of this agreement is being amortized over the life of the agreement, which will mature in November, 1998. The Company's primary exposure to credit related losses would be in the event of non-performance by the counterparties involved in these swap and cap agreements since the Company has not obtained collateral. To limit potential loss, the Company has arranged netting agreements with the counterparties and deals with only highly rated primary government security dealers. The Company's net cost under these agreements was approximately $508,000, $838,000 and $1,227,000, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993. These costs are reflected as interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. 14 15 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note 14: Off-Balance Sheet and Other Risk Assessment (continued) LOANS SERVICED FOR OTHERS The Company acts as servicing agent for mortgage loans totaling approximately $6.35 billion, $5.48 billion and $3.05 billion at December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively, which are owned by others (primarily through GNMA mortgage-backed securities). Following is an analysis of the changes in mortgage servicing rights for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994, and 1993, respectively:
(In thousands) 1995 1994 1993 -------- -------- -------- Beginning balance $ 53,232 $ 42,244 $ 34,348 Additions 13,414 23,251 27,095 Amortization (12,906) (12,263) (19,199) -------- -------- -------- Ending balance $ 53,740 $ 53,232 $ 42,244 ======== ======== ========
Also included in mortgage servicing rights in the consolidated statements of financial condition is $1,359,000, $1,578,000 and $1,875,000 of excess servicing rights at December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The Company collects and processes payments made by borrowers, remits funds to investors, taxing authorities and insurors and acts as fiduciary in foreclosing and disposing of collateral properties. In connection with its fiduciary responsibilities, the Company advances funds which are repaid through sale proceeds and through claims submitted to the Federal Housing Administration and/or the Veterans Administration ("FHA/VA Claims"). Such claims in process totaled approximately $48,851,000 and $25,215,000 at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively, and are shown net of an allowance for uncollectible claims in the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position. Under certain circumstances, FHA/VA claims are rejected or otherwise cannot be collected in full. To recognize the estimate of loss attributable to these current and future claims, the Company has established an allowance for uncollectible claims with provisions for losses charged against loan servicing revenue in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. A summary of activity in the allowance account is as follows:
(In thousands) ---------------------------------- December 31, 1995 1994 1993 ---------------------------------- Beginning balance $1,870 1,296 1,701 Provisions for uncollectible claims 2,784 1,597 578 Uncollected claims charged off, net of recoveries (1,977) (1,023) (983) ------ ------ ------ Ending balance $2,677 1,870 1,296 ====== ====== ======
Included in loans serviced for others at December 31, 1995 and 1994 are approximately $15,145,000 and $18,420,000 of loans with recourse provisions. Included in mortgage-backed securities at December 31, 1995 are approximately $346,874,000 of securities with recourse provisions. In addition, the Company sold approximately $28,522,000 of mortgage-backed securities with recourse provisions. Loans repurchased by the Company under these provisions have not been material. PENDING LITIGATION A suit has been filed in the Circuit Court of Greene County, Alabama (the "Circuit Court") naming the Bank and eighteen other named defendants who sold, financed, insured or acted as an agent in the sale of insurance for mobile homes in the State of Alabama. The Complaint requests certification of a class and seeks to have an unknown number of additional defendants added to the suit, including other lenders, insurance companies, dealers and insurance agents who were engaged in the sale and insuring of mobile homes from the period of January 1, 1983 to the present. The plaintiffs allege a variety of types of wrongdoing in connection with the sale of insurance, including "force-placed" insurance, for an amount greater than permitted by law and charging excessive premiums. It is alleged that the defendant financial institutions, including the Bank, wrongfully benefited from the sale of this insurance. The Plaintiffs are seeking to have the contracts under which the defendants have profited declare void, seeking to enjoin the defendants from taking further action to collect on the insurance and financing contracts, demanding judgment for the amount of undisclosed commissions and excess insurance premiums, and seeking a forfeiture of all finance charges and a judgment for punitive damages in the sum of $200 million for each defendant. In July, 1995, the Bank filed a Notice of Removal to move the action to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Alabama, Western Division (the "District Court"). The Bank then filed a Motion to dismiss in the District Court, which was denied. The case has since been remanded to the Circuit Court. However, prior to remand, other defendants filed a Notice of Removal to the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Alabama Western Division, where the case is currently pending. Because discovery has not formally commenced, the Bank cannot evaluate the probability or amount of the potential loss as a result of this litigation. In July 1991, a suit was filed in the Circuit Court of Shelby County, Tennessee, against a majority of the financial institutions conducting business in Memphis, including the Bank, alleging excessive fees charged by the defendants for processing checks drawn on accounts with insufficient funds and for processing third party checks deposited by the plaintiffs to their accounts which were subsequently returned unpaid by the maker's bank. Plaintiffs are seeking to have the case certified as a class action, with the class to constitute all customers who have had insufficient funds or return item charges assessed. In September 1991, the defendants filed a joint motion to dismiss. In April 1992, the court granted the defendants' motion. In May 1992, plaintiffs appealed to the Tennessee Court of Appeals which reversed, in part, the lower court's ruling. The Court of Appeals remanded the case to the Circuit Court, which granted the defendants' Motion for Summary Judgment. The plaintiffs appealed, and in January 1995, the Tennessee Court of Appeals affirmed the lower court ruling in favor of the defendants. The plaintiffs then appealed the case to the Tennessee Supreme Court, which denied certiorari in June of 1995. Plaintiffs immediately filed a Petition to Rehear and Application for Permission to Appeal to the Tennessee Supreme Court, which was granted. A hearing date has not been set, and the Bank cannot at this time evaluate the probability or amount of any potential loss resulting from this litigation. In May 1992, the plaintiffs in the above described suit filed a class action suit against the Bank and a majority of the other financial institutions conducting business in Memphis in the United States District Court for the Western District of Tennessee, seeking an unspecified amount of damages for, among other things, violation of the Clayton and Sherman Acts. In July 1992, the defendants filed a joint motion to dismiss. In March 1993, the court denied this motion. In March 1994, the District Court granted the defendants' Motion for Summary Judgment. The plaintiffs appealed the decision to the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals. In March 1995, the Sixth Circuit upheld the District Court's ruling in favor of the defendants. The plaintiffs have recently filed a Petition for Writ of Certiorari with United States Supreme Court. The Bank cannot evaluate the likelihood that the appeal will be granted or the probability or amount of any potential loss resulting from this litigation. In August 1991, a suit was filed in the Chancery Court of Shelby County, Tennessee, requesting the court to adjudicate the rights of James L. Ross, former President and Chief Operating Officer of the Bank and member of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, with respect to certain benefits which Mr. Ross alleges he is due in connection with the termination of his employment by the Bank. The Bank and the Compensation Committee claim that the Bank is owed damages and has the right to certain offsets as a result of actions taken by Mr. Ross during his employment. Mr. Ross is seeking compensatory and consequential damages against the Bank in the amount of $1.25 million, compensatory damages against Mr. Bailey in the amount of $2.5 million, punitive damages against Mr. Bailey in the amount of $1.5 million, plus all other damages sustained by Mr. Ross, attorneys' fees and other relief the court may deem proper. Certain preliminary discovery activities took place in late 1991 and ending 1992 and settlement discussions are pending. However, it is too early to assess the likelihood that this case will be settled or the amount of potential loss as a result of this litigation. Management of the Company does not consider any of these legal proceedings material to the Bank's financial condition or results of operations beyond amounts accrued in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. 15 16 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) December 31, 1995 and 1994 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 15: CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENT INFORMATION OF LEADER FINANCIAL CORPORATION, INC.
