Annual Report (Form 10-K), fiscal year 1994

ITEM 1. BUSINESS ---------------- Washington Trust Bancorp, Inc. ------------------------------ Washington Trust Bancorp, Inc. (the "Corporation") is a publicly-owned, registered bank holding company, organized in 1984 under the laws of the state of Rhode Island, whose subsidiaries are permitted to engage in banking and other financial services and businesses. The Corporation conducts its business through its wholly-owned subsidiary, The Washington Trust Company (the "Bank"), a Rhode Island chartered commercial bank. The deposits of the Bank are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC").
The Corporation was formed in 1984 under a plan of reorganization in which outstanding common shares of The Washington Trust Company were exchanged for common shares of Washington Trust Bancorp, Inc. At December 31, 1994 the Corporation had total consolidated assets of $516 million, deposits of $441 million and equity capital of $46 million.
The Washington Trust Company ---------------------------- The Washington Trust Company was originally chartered in 1800 as the Washington Bank and is the oldest banking institution headquartered in its market area. Its current corporate charter dates to 1902. See "Market Area and Competition" below for further information.
A broad range of financial services are provided by the Bank, including:
- Residential mortgages - Commercial and consumer demand deposits - Commercial loans - Savings, NOW and money market deposits - Construction loans - Certificates of deposit - Installment loans - Retirement accounts - Home equity lines of credit - Electronic funds transfer - VISA and Mastercard accounts - Safe deposit boxes - Merchant credit card services - Trust and investment services
The Bank's primary source of income is net interest income, the difference between interest earned on interest-earning assets and interest paid on interest-bearing deposits and other borrowed funds. Sources of noninterest income include fees for management of customer investment portfolios, trusts and estates, service charges on deposit accounts, merchant processing fees and other banking-related fees. Noninterest expenses include the provision for loan losses, salaries and employee benefits, occupancy, equipment, office supplies deposit taxes and assessments, foreclosed property costs and other administrative expenses.
Automated teller machines (ATM's) are located at each of the Bank's six banking offices. The Bank is a member of the NYCE, Yankee 24, Plus, and Cashstream ATM networks.
Data processing for most of the Bank's deposit and loan accounts and other applications is conducted internally using owned equipment. Application software is primarily obtained through purchase or licensing agreements.
The Bank's Trust and Investment Department provides fiduciary services as trustee under wills and trust agreements; as executor or administrator of estates; as a provider of agency and custodial investment services to individuals and institutions; and as a trustee for employee benefit plans. The market value of total trust assets amounted to $389 million as of December 31, 1994.
The following is a summary of the relative amounts of income producing functions as a percentage of gross operating income during the past five years:
The percentage of gross income derived from interest and fees on loans was 72% and 71% in 1994 and 1993, respectively, down from a five-year high of 85% in 1990, primarily as a result of the low interest rate environment that existed in 1993 and 1994.
Market Area and Competition --------------------------- The Bank's market area includes most of southern Rhode Island (Washington County) and a portion of New London County in southeastern Connecticut. The Bank's six banking offices are located in the following Rhode Island communities:
- Westerly (2) - Charlestown - New Shoreham (Block Island) - Richmond - Narragansett
The Bank's offices in Charlestown and on Block Island are the only bank facilities in those communities. The Block Island office was acquired from another Rhode Island bank in 1984. The Charlestown office was opened in 1988 and the Narragansett office was opened in 1989.
The Bank faces strong competition from branches of major Rhode Island and regional commercial banks, local branches of certain Connecticut banks, as well as various credit unions, savings institutions and, to some extent, finance
companies. The principal methods of competition are through interest rates, financing terms and other customer conveniences. The Washington Trust Company had 36% of total deposits reported by financial institutions for banking offices within its market area as of June 30, 1994. The two closest competitors held 16% each, and the third closest competitor held 6% of total deposits in the market area. The Corporation believes that being the largest commercial banking institution headquartered within the market area provides a competitive advantage over other financial institutions. The Bank has a marketing department which is responsible for the review of existing products and services and the development of new products and services.
Employees --------- As of December 31, 1994 the Corporation employed approximately 241 full-time and 53 part-time employees. Management believes that its employee relations are good.
Supervision and Regulation -------------------------- General - The business in which the Corporation and the Bank are engaged is subject to extensive supervision, regulation, and examination by various bank regulatory authorities and other agencies of federal and state government. The supervisory and regulatory activities of these parties are often intended primarily for the protection of customers or are aimed at carrying out broad public policy goals that may not be directly related to the financial services provided by the Corporation and the Bank, nor intended for the protection of the Corporation's shareholders. Proposals to change regulations and laws which affect the banking industry are frequently raised at the federal and state level. The potential impact on the Corporation of any future revisions to the supervisory or regulatory structure cannot be determined.
The Corporation and the Bank are required by various authorities to file extensive periodic reports of financial and other information and such other reports as the regulatory and supervisory authorities may require. The Corporation is also subject to the reporting and other requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
The Corporation is a bank holding company registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the "BHC Act"). As a bank holding company, the activities of the Corporation are regulated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Federal Reserve Board"). The BHC Act requires that the Corporation obtain prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board to acquire control over a bank or certain nonbank entities and restricts the activities of the Corporation to those closely related to banking. Federal law also regulates transactions between the Corporation and the Bank, including loans or extensions of credit.
The Bank is subject to the supervision of, and examination by, the FDIC. As a state chartered institution, The Washington Trust Company is also subject to various Rhode Island business and banking regulations.
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (FDICIA) - FDICIA was enacted in December 1991 and has resulted in extensive changes to the federal banking laws. Among other things, FDICIA requires the federal banking regulators to take prompt corrective action with respect to depository
institutions that do not meet minimum capital requirements.
FDICIA established five capital tiers, ranging from "well-capitalized" to "critically undercapitalized." A depository institution is well-capitalized if it significantly exceeds the minimum level required by regulation for each relevant capital measure. Under FDICIA, an institution that is not well- capitalized is generally prohibited from accepting brokered deposits and offering interest rates on deposits higher than the prevailing rate in its market. In addition, "pass through" deposit insurance coverage may not be available for certain employee benefit accounts. At December 31, 1994, the Bank's capital ratios placed it in the well-capitalized category.
Another primary purpose of FDICIA was to recapitalize the Bank Insurance Fund (BIF). The FDIC adopted a risk-related premium system for the assessment period beginning January 1, 1993. Under this new system, each institution's assessment rate is based on its capital ratios in combination with a supervisory evaluation of the risk the institution poses to the BIF. Banks deemed to be well-capitalized and who pose the lowest risk to the BIF will pay the lowest assessment rates, while undercapitalized banks, who present the highest risk, will pay the highest rates.
FDICIA contains other significant provisions that require the federal banking regulators to establish standards for safety and soundness for depository institutions and their holding companies in three areas: (i) operational and managerial; (ii) asset quality, earnings and stock valuation; and (iii) management compensation. The legislation also requires that risk-based capital requirements contain provisions for interest rate risk, credit risk and risks of nontraditional activities. FDICIA also imposes expanded accounting and audit reporting requirements for depository institutions. In addition, FDICIA imposes numerous restrictions on state-chartered banks, including those which generally limit investments and activities to those permitted to national banks, and contains several consumer banking law provisions.
The provisions of FDICIA are being phased in over several years. While final rules have been issued on most provisions, others have yet to be issued.
Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 - On September 30, 1994, the Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act of 1994 was signed into law. Effective one year after enactment, adequately capitalized bank holding companies will be permitted to acquire banks in any state subject to certain concentration limits and other conditions. Also, on a phased-in basis over three years from the date of its enactment, other limitations on interstate bank mergers, consolidations and branching will be eased, subject to a state's ability to "opt out" of certain provisions of the law by passage of state law. No legislation has been introduced in Rhode Island for the 1995 legislative session that would constitute an "opt out" election by the State.
Dividend Restrictions -The Corporation's revenues consist of cash dividends paid to it by the Bank. Such payments are restricted pursuant to various state and federal regulatory limitations. Reference is made to Note 16 to the Corporation's Consolidated Financial Statements included in its 1994 Annual Report to Shareholders incorporated herein by reference for additional discussion of the Corporation's ability to pay dividends.
Capital Guidelines - Regulatory guidelines have been established that require bank holding companies and banks to maintain minimum ratios of capital to risk- adjusted assets. Banks are required to have minimum core capital (Tier 1) of 4% and total risk-adjusted capital (Tier 1 and Tier 2) of 8%. For the Corporation, Tier 1 capital is essentially equal to shareholders' equity excluding the net unrealized gain on securities available for sale. Tier 2 capital consists of a portion of the reserve for possible loan losses (limited to 1.25% of total risk- weighted assets). As of December 31, 1994, net risk-weighted assets amounted to $342.5 million, the Tier 1 capital ratio was 12.55% and the total risk-based capital ratio was approximately 13.82%.
The Tier 1 leverage ratio is defined as Tier 1 capital (as defined under the risk-based capital guidelines) divided by average assets (net of intangible assets and excluding the effects of accounting for securities available for sale under SFAS No. 115). The minimum leverage ratio is 3% for banking organizations that do not anticipate significant growth and that have well-diversified risk (including no undue interest rate risk), excellent asset quality, high liquidity and strong earnings. Other banking organizations are expected to have ratios of at least 4 - 5%, depending on their particular condition and growth plans. Higher capital ratios could be required if warranted by the particular circumstances or risk profile of a given banking organization. The Corporation's Tier 1 leverage ratio was 8.45% as of December 31, 1994. The Federal Reserve has not advised the Corporation of any specific minimum Tier 1 leverage capital ratio applicable to it.
GUIDE 3 STATISTICAL DISCLOSURES ------------------------------- The following tables contain additional consolidated statistical data about the Corporation and its subsidiary.
I. Distribution of Assets, Liabilities and Shareholders' Equity; Interest Rates and Interest Differential ------------------------------------------------------------- A. Average balance sheets are presented on page 28 of the Corporation's 1994 Annual Report to Shareholders under the caption "Average Balances/Net Interest Margin (Fully Taxable Equivalent Basis)", and are incorporated herein by reference. Nonaccrual loans are included in average loan balances. Average balances are based upon daily averages.
B. An analysis of net interest earnings, including interest earned and paid, average yields and costs, and net yield on interest-earning assets is presented on page 28 of the Corporation's 1994 Annual Report to Shareholders under the caption "Average Balances/Net Interest Margin (Fully Taxable Equivalent Basis)", and is incorporated herein by reference.
Interest income is reported on the fully taxable-equivalent basis. Tax exempt income is converted to a fully taxable equivalent basis by assuming a 34% marginal federal income tax rate adjusted for applicable state income taxes net of the related federal tax benefit. For dividends on corporate stocks, the 70% federal dividends received deduction is also used in the calculation of tax equivalency. Interest on nonaccrual loans is included in the analysis of net interest earnings to the extent that such interest income has been recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Income. See Guide 3 Item III.C.1.
C. An analysis of rate/volume changes in interest income and interest expense is presented on page 29 of the Corporation's 1994 Annual Report to Shareholders under the caption "Volume/Rate Analysis - Interest Income and Expense (Fully Taxable Equivalent Basis)", and is incorporated herein by reference. The net change attributable to both volume and rate has been allocated proportionately.
II. INVESTMENT SECURITIES AND SECURITIES AVAILABLE FOR SALE ------------------------------------------------------- A. The carrying amounts of investment securities as of the dates indicated are presented in the following table:
The December 31, 1992 balance of mortgage-backed securities includes $19,209,775 of securitized mortgages originated by the Bank which were previously classified as loans in the Corporation's 1992 consolidated financial statements.
The carrying amounts of securities available for sale as of the dates indicated are summarized in the table below. Effective January 1, 1994, the Corporation adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" (SFAS No. 115). The Statement requires that securities available for sale be reported at fair value, with any unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported as a separate component of shareholders' equity, net of tax, until realized. Therefore, the carrying value of securities available for sale at December 31, 1994 presented below is equal to market value. Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 115, securities available for sale were carried at the lower of aggregate cost, adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of discount in the case of debt securities, or market value.
B. Maturities of debt securities as of December 31, 1994 are presented in the following tables. Mortgage-backed securities are included based on their weighted average maturities, adjusted for anticipated future prepayments. Yields on tax exempt obligations were not computed on a tax equivalent basis.
C. Not applicable.

C. Risk Elements Reference is made to the caption "Asset Quality" included in Management's Analysis of Financial Statements on pages 25-27 of the Corporation's 1994 Annual Report to Shareholders incorporated herein by reference. Included therein is a discussion of the Corporation's credit review and collection practices. Also included therein is information concerning property acquired through foreclosure and in-substance foreclosures held at December 31, 1994 and the Corporation's ongoing efforts to dispose of such properties.
1. Nonaccrual, Past Due and Restructured Loans. (a). Nonaccrual loans as of the dates indicated were as follows:
For years 1994, 1993 and 1992, loans, with the exception of credit card loans, were placed on nonaccrual status and interest recognition was suspended when such loans were 90 days or more overdue with respect to principal and/or interest. Interest previously accrued, but not collected on such loans was reversed against current period income. Cash receipts on nonaccrual loans were recorded as interest income, or as a reduction of principal if full collection of the loan was doubtful or if impairment of the collateral was identified. Loans were removed from nonaccrual status when they had been current as to principal and interest for a period of time, the borrower had demonstrated an ability to comply with repayment terms, and when, in management's opinion, the loans were considered to be fully collectible.
In years prior to 1992, commercial loans were placed on nonaccrual status and interest recognition was suspended when they were 90 days or more overdue. Residential mortgages and consumer loans were placed on nonaccrual status when, in management's judgment, the probability of collection was deemed insufficient to warrant further income recognition.
For the year ended December 31, 1994, the gross interest income that would have been recognized if loans on nonaccrual status had been current in accordance with their original terms was approximately $628,000. Interest recognized on these loans amounted to approximately $287,000.
There were no significant commitments to lend additional funds to borrowers whose loans were on nonaccrual status at December 31, 1994.
(b). Loans contractually past due 90 days or more and still accruing for the dates indicated were as follows:
(c). Restructured accruing loans for the dates indicated were as follows:
Restructured accruing loans include those for which concessions, such as reduction of interest rates other than normal market rate adjustments or deferral of principal or interest payments, have been granted due to a borrower's financial condition. Interest on restructured loans is accrued at the reduced rate. Loans restructured during 1994 amounted to $525,809, of which $160,985 is included in nonaccrual loans reported in Section III.C.1.(a) above.
2. Potential Problem Loans. Potential problem loans consist of certain accruing commercial loans that were less than 90 days past due at December 31, 1994, including certain loans classified as either substandard, doubtful or loss by the Bank's primary regulator during their most recent examination conducted during the fourth quarter of 1994 and loans identified by management of the Bank as potential problem loans. Such loans are characterized by weaknesses in the financial condition of borrowers or collateral deficiencies. Based on historical experience, the credit quality of some of these loans may improve as a result of collection efforts, while the credit quality of other loans may deteriorate, resulting in some amount of losses. These loans are not included in the analysis of nonaccrual, past due and restructured loans in III.C.1 above.
At December 31, 1994, potential problem loans which were contractually current amounted to $4.9 million. In addition, potential problem loans that were 30-89 days past due amounted to approximately $2.3 million at December 31, 1994. The Corporation's loan policy provides guidelines for the review of such loans in order to facilitate collection.
Depending on future events, the potential problem loans referred to above, and others not currently identified, could be classified as nonperforming in the future.
3. Foreign Outstandings. None
4. Loan Concentrations. The Corporation has no concentration of loans which exceed 10% of its total loans except as disclosed by types of loan in Section III.A.
D. Other Interest-Bearing Assets: None
IV. SUMMARY OF LOAN LOSS EXPERIENCE ------------------------------- A. The reserve for possible loan losses is available for future credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The level of the reserve is based on management's ongoing review of the growth and composition of the loan portfolio, net charge-off experience, current and expected economic conditions, and other pertinent factors. Loans (or portions thereof) deemed to be uncollectible are charged against the reserve and recoveries of amounts previously charged off are added to the reserve. Loss provisions charged to earnings are added to the reserve to bring it to the desired level. Loss experience on loans is presented in the following table for the years indicated.
Analysis of the Reserve for Possible Loan Losses ------------------------------------------------
B. The following table presents the allocation of the allowance for loan losses.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES ------------------ As of December 31, 1994 the Corporation was operating six facilities including its main office located in Westerly, Rhode Island and five branch banking facilities located in Westerly, Charlestown, Narragansett, Richmond and Block Island, Rhode Island. All sites are owned, except for the Block Island branch facility, which is leased. The main office premises, containing the corporate offices and a banking facility, consists of a five story building and an adjacent two story building. The buildings, which are connected, contain approximately 50,000 square feet of space, 42,000 square feet of which is occupied by the Corporation. The remaining space is leased to merchant and professional tenants under short-term lease arrangements and could be used for expansion of the Corporation's offices. The main office location also contains a three level retail parking garage with 80,000 square feet of space.
The Corporation has made a substantial investment in its branch office facilities. The Charlestown banking office opened in 1988 in a newly constructed facility. The Narragansett banking office began operations in June 1989 in a building which had been acquired in 1988 and was completely renovated. A major renovation and expansion of the Richmond banking office was completed in January of 1990. The Richmond site also contains a separate building operated as a restaurant by a restaurant chain under a long-term lease.
