First Federal Bancshares Inc. (also referred to as the “Company” or “First Federal Bancshares”), was organized as a Delaware business corporation in 2000 to be the savings and loan holding company for First Federal Bank (also referred to as the “Bank” or “First Federal”) in connection with the conversion of First Federal from mutual to stock form of ownership. The conversion was completed on September 27, 2000. First Federal Bancshares has no significant assets, other than all of the outstanding shares of First Federal, and no significant liabilities other than subordinated debentures in the form of trust preferred securities. Accordingly, the information set forth in this report including the consolidated financial statements and related financial data, relates primarily to First Federal. First Federal operates as a community-oriented financial institution, specializing in the acceptance of retail deposits from the general public in the areas surrounding its eight full-service banking offices and using those funds, together with funds generated from operations and borrowings, to originate loans. The principal lending activity of First Federal is the origination of mortgage loans for the purpose of purchasing or refinancing one- to four-family residential property. First Federal also originates multi-family and commercial real estate loans, residential construction loans, commercial business loans and a variety of consumer loans. First Federal originates loans primarily for long-term investment purposes. First Federal also invests in mortgage-backed securities, securities issued by the U.S. Government and state and local governments, and other permissible investments. First Federal’s revenues are derived principally from the generation of interest and fees on loans originated and, to a lesser extent, interest and dividends on investments. First Federal’s primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest payments on loans and investments and advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago.
