LUXEMBURG BANCSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
The consolidated financial statements for interim periods are unaudited; however, in the opinion of the management of Luxemburg Bancshares, Inc. ("Company"), all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Refer to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements which appear in the Company's Form 10-KSB for the Fiscal Year ended December 31, 2003 for the Company's accounting policies which are pertinent to these financial statements.
NOTE 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The consolidated financial statements of the Company, a bank holding company, include the accounts of the Company and Subsidiaries - Bank of Luxemburg, Luxemburg Investment Corporation, and Area Development Corporation. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-QSB and, therefore, do not include all information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles in annual consolidated financial statements.
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2003 consolidated financial statements to conform to the 2004 classifications.
For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company considers cash on hand, interest-bearing and non-interest bearing deposits in banks and federal funds sold as cash and cash equivalents.
Earnings per common share are based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. The weighted average number of shares outstanding was 556,152 in March 2004 and 552,473 in March 2003. The basic and diluted earnings per share are the same for 2004 and 2003.
Critical Accounting Policies
The Company has established various accounting policies which govern the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States in the preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements. The significant accounting policies of the Company are described in the footnotes to the consolidated financial statements contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB and updated as necessary in its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-QSB. Certain accounting policies involve significant judgements and assumptions by management which may have a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities; management considers such accounting policies to be critical accounting policies. The judgements and assumptions used by management are based on historical experience and other factors, which are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Because of the nature of judgements and assumptions made by management, actual results could differ from these judgement s and estimates which could have a material impact on the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the results of the operations of the Company.
Management considers the following to be those accounting policies that require significant judgements and assumptions:
Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for loan losses is determined using a methodology which reserves currently for those loans in which it is determined that a loss is probable based on characteristics of the individual loan, historical loss patterns of similar "homogeneous" loans and environmental factors unique to each measurement date. This reserving methodology has the following components:
Specific Reserve. The amount of specific reserves is determined through a loan-by-loan analysis of problem loans over a minimum size that considers expected future cash flows, the value of collateral and other factors that may impact the borrower's ability to make payments when due. Included in this group are those non-accrual or renegotiated loans that meet the criteria as being "impaired" under the definition in SFAS 114. A loan is impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that a creditor will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Problem loans also include those credits that have been internally classified as credits requiring management's attention due to underlying problems in the borrower's business or collateral concerns. Ranges of loss are determined based on best-and worst-case scenarios for each loan.
Collective Loan Impairment. This component of the allowance for loan losses is based on the following:
The Company makes a significant number of loans, which due to their underlying similar characteristics, are assessed for loss as "homogeneous" pools. Included in the homogeneous pools are loans from the retail sector and commercial loans under a certain size, which have been excluded from the specific reserve allocation previously discussed. The Company segments the pools by type of loan and used historical loss information estimates on the total loan portfolio as a loss reserve for each pool.
The Company's senior lending management also allocates reserves for environmental conditions which are unique to the measurement period. These include environmental factors, such as economic conditions in certain geographical or industry segments of the portfolio, economic trends in the retail lending sector and peer-group loss history. Reserves allocated are based on estimates of loss that senior lending management has isolated based on these economic trends or conditions.
The Company has not substantively changed any aspect to its overall approach in the determination of the allowance for loan losses. There have been no material changes in assumptions or estimation techniques as compared to prior periods that impacted the determination of the current period allowance. Management recognizes there are significant estimates in the process and the ultimate losses could be significantly different from those currently estimated.
Mortgage Servicing Rights
Mortgage servicing rights (MSR's) are established on loans (primarily mortgage loans) that we originate and sell, but continue to service as we collect the payments. Generally accepted accounting principles require that the Company recognize, as income, the estimated fair market value of the asset when originated. The estimated value of MSR's is the present value of future net cash flows from the servicing relationship using current market assumptions for factors such as prepayments and servicing costs. As the loans are repaid and the servicing revenue is earned, MSR's are amortized. Net servicing revenues and newly originated MSR's generally exceed this amortization expense. However, if actual prepayment experience is greater than anticipated and new loan volume declines, net servicing revenues may be less than expected and a charge to earnings may result. Management does not intend to sell mortgage servicing rights.
Determining the Amount of Current and Deferred Income Taxes
The determination of current and deferred income taxes is based on complex analysis of many factors, including interpretation of federal and state income tax laws, the difference between tax and financial reporting of reversals of temporary differences and current accounting standards. The federal and state taxing authorities who make assessments based on their determination of tax laws periodically review the Company's interpretation of federal and state tax laws. Tax liabilities could differ significantly from the estimates and interpretations used in determining the current and deferred income tax liabilities based on the completion of taxing authority examinations.
NOTE 2: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK
The Bank of Luxemburg's ("Bank's") financial statements do not reflect various commitments and contingent liabilities which arise in the normal course of business and which involve elements of credit risk, interest rate risk, and liquidity risk. These commitments and contingent liabilities are commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. A summary of the Bank's commitments and contingent liabilities at each balance sheet date is as follows:
| Notional Amount |
| March 31, 2004 | December 31, 2003 |
| | |
Commitments to extend credit | $9,377,000 | $11,296,000 |
Credit card arrangements | 1,367,000 | 1,402,000 |
Standby letters of credit | 1,170,000 | 1,525,000 |
Commitments to extend credit and credit card arrangements are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. A portion of the commitments are expected to be drawn upon, thus representing future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained upon extension of credit is based on management's credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held varies but may include accounts receivable; inventory; property, plant, and equipment; real estate; and stocks and bonds. Management does not anticipate any material losses as a result of these commitments.
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the financial 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 holds collateral supporting those commitments for which collateral is deemed necessary. Because these instruments have fixed maturity dates and because many of them expire without being drawn upon, they do not generally present any significant liquidity risk to the Company. Management does not anticipate any material losses as a result of these letters of credit.
The Company's commitments to sell residential mortgage loans to the secondary market and commitments to fund such loans to individual borrowers represent mortgage derivatives. Commitments outstanding at March 31, 2004 were $5,308,000.

NET INTEREST INCOME
Net interest income, the principle source of earnings, is the amount by which interest generated by earning assets exceeds the interest costs of liabilities obtained to fund them. As shown below, net interest income has increased 14.7% to $1,508,592 for the three months ended March 31, 2004 from $1,315,498 for the three months ended March 31, 2003. The net interest income increased $96,207 due to volume and increased $96,887 due to decrease in the interest rates. Approximately $48,000 of the volume is due to collection of interest on a non-accrual loan portfolio. As noted above, average assets for the three months ended March 31, 2004 were $166,904,562 compared to average assets for the three months ended March 31, 2003 of $154,027,788.

RATE/VOLUME ANALYSIS
The impact of changes in volume and interest rates on net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2004 is illustrated in the following table:
Three Months Ended March 31, 2004 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2003.
| Increase (Decrease) in Net Interest Income |
| Net Change | Due To Rate | Due To Volume |
Interest Income | $ 8,414 | $ (150,466) | $ 158,880 |
Interest Expense | (184,680) | (247,353) | 62,673 |
Net Interest Income | $ 193,094 | $ 96,887 | $ 96,207 |
Interest rates on the Bank's average earning assets and interest bearing liabilities were generally lower for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2003. Average earning assets had an average yield of 5.67% at March 31, 2004 as compared to 6.01% at March 31, 2003. Average interest bearing liabilities had an average rate of 1.85% at March 31, 2004 as compared to 2.72% at March 31, 2003. Average earning assets increased 5.5% to $148,860,503 for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to $141,049,290 for the three months ended March 31, 2003. Interest bearing liabilities increased 11.1% to $128,505,626 for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to $115,674,722 for the three months ended March 31, 2003.
OPERATING RESULTS
Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2004, was $362,890 compared to $535,849 for the three months ended March 31, 2003. The decrease of $172,959 reflects decreases in loan servicing fees income, mortgage underwriting fees-secondary market and gain on sale of loans resulting from the general slowdown in the mortgage refinancing market during the first quarter of 2004 from the record levels experienced in 2003. The increase in net interest income of $193,094 for the three months ended March 31, 2004, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2003 is discussed in "Net Interest Income" and "Rate/Volume Analysis" elsewhere in this report.
Total operating expenses increased 17.1% from $1,154,588 for the three months ended March 31, 2003 to $1,352,450 for the three months ended March 31, 2004. Salaries and related benefits increased 15.7% to $818,471 for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to $707,544 for the three months ended March 31, 2003. Increases over 2003 salaries were due to the following: annual raises, the addition of 10 full-time equivalent employees, annual increase in insurance and more employees using health insurance benefits. Other operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2004 increased 24.2% to $265,373 from $213,651 for the three months ended March 31, 2003 because of increases in collection expenses, accounting fees, and other professional fee expenses, and the opening of two new branches since March 0f 2003. The increase in accounting fees and professional fees can be tied to increased regulation under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
STATE INCOME TAX AUDIT
Like many financial institutions located in Wisconsin, the Bank transferred investment securities to a Nevada investment subsidiary, which now holds and manages those assets. The investment subsidiary has not filed returns with, or paid income or franchise taxes to, the State of Wisconsin. The Wisconsin Department of Revenue (the "Department") recently implemented a program to audit Wisconsin financial institutions which formed investment subsidiaries located in Nevada. The Department has generally indicated that it will assess income or franchise taxes on the income of the Nevada investment subsidiaries of Wisconsin banks. The Bank is currently undergoing such an audit; however, the Department has not yet issued an assessment to the Bank. At March 31, 2004, the Bank's potential exposure for back taxes and statutory interest totals approximately $714,000.
Prior to formation of the investment subsidiary, the Bank sought and obtained a private letter ruling from the Department regarding the non-taxability of the investment subsidiary in the state of Wisconsin. The Bank believes that it complied with Wisconsin law and the private ruling received from the Department and that it is not liable for any taxes or interest that the Department may claim. Should an assessment be forthcoming, the Bank intends to defend its position vigorously through the normal administrative appeals process in place at the Department and through other judicial channels should they become necessary. An unfavorable outcome for the Bank could have a substantial negative impact on its results of operations.
ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
The amount charged to the provision for loan losses by the Company is based on management's evaluation as to the amounts required to maintain an allowance adequate to provide for potential losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The level of this allowance is dependent upon the total amount of past due and non-performing loans, general economic conditions and management's assessment of potential losses based upon internal credit evaluations of the loan portfolio and particular loans. Company management allocated the allowance based on an assigned risk factor for each category of loans and adjusting the allocation by potential losses of individual loans. Loans are entirely to borrowers in Northeast Wisconsin with the exception of purchased loans.
The Company generally places loans on non-accrual status when the loan is past due as to the payment of interest and/or principal in excess of 90 days. The Company also places loans on a non-accrual status when it deems the collection of such interest unlikely. Loans are returned to full accrual status when the loan is brought current according to all terms of the loan agreement, all past due principal and interest is paid and the Company deems its collateral position adequate to warrant a return to accrual status.
At March 31, 2004 the Company had $63,000 in loans past due 90 days or more that were still accruing interest as compared to $21,000 for March 31, 2003. At March 31, 2004 the Company had two loans that met the definition of troubled debt restructuring contained in SFAS No. 15. In 2003 the Company did not have any loans that met the definition of troubled debt restructuring contained in SFAS No. 15. In addition, as of March 31, 2004 seven loans were considered to be impaired under SFAS Nos 114 & 118. As of March 31, 2003 six loans were considered impaired under SFAS Nos 114 & 115. The Bank had $2,703,000 of non-accrual loans at March 31, 2004, $4,499,000 at December 31, 2003 and $2,598,000 of non-accrual loans at March 31, 2003.
During the three months ended March 31, 2004, $75,000 was charged to the provision for loan losses compared to $150,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2003. At March 31, 2004 the allowance was $1,950,739 or 1.40% of total loans. This compares to an allowance of $1,618,000 or 1.31% of total loans as of March 31, 2003. For the three months ended March 31, 2004 the Company had net charge-offs of $4,000 compared to net charge offs of $1,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2003.
The following table summarizes loan charge-offs and recoveries by type of loan for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003:
Loan Type | March 31, 2004 | March 31, 2003 |

The Company's senior lending management also has allocated reserves for environmental conditions which are unique to the measurement period. These include environmental factors, such as economic conditions in certain geographical or industry segments of the portfolio, economic trends in the retail lending sector and peer-group loss history. Reserves allocated are based on estimates of loss that senior lending management has isolated based on these economic trends or conditions. The $615,000 is unallocated to a specific segment of the portfolio, yet the amount has been set aside for the factors indicated.
LIQUIDITY AND INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY
The Company must maintain an adequate liquidity position in order to respond to the short-term demand for funds caused by withdrawals from deposit accounts, extensions of credit and for the payment of operating expenses. Maintaining this position of adequate liquidity is accomplished through the management of a combination of liquid assets; those which can be converted into cash and access to additional sources of funds. Primary liquid assets of the Company are cash and due from banks, federal funds sold, investments held as "available for sale" and maturing loans. Federal funds purchased and loans from the Federal Home Loan Bank system represent the Company's primary source of immediate liquidity and were maintained at a level to meet immediate needs. Federal funds sold averaged approximately $3,425,231 and $2,867,567 for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Maturities in the Company's loan and investment portfolios are monitored regularly to avoid matching short-term deposi ts with long-term loans and investments. Other assets and liabilities are also monitored to provide the proper balance between liquidity, safety, and profitability. This monitoring process must be continuous due to the constant flow of cash that is inherent in a financial institution.
The Company actively manages its interest rate sensitive assets and liabilities to reduce the impact of interest rate fluctuations. In addition, the Company monitors the interest rates paid on certificates of deposit as advertised by its competitors and strives to pay competitive interest rates to retain and attract certificates of deposit. Should competitive pressures dictate, the Company may have to increase rates paid to retain the certificates of deposit that mature in the next year and any increase in interest rates paid on certificates of deposit may reduce future Company earnings. The Company also monitors the assets and liabilities that reprice each month to determine the impact on future earnings from anticipated repricings. At March 31, 2004 the Company's rate sensitive liabilities exceed rate sensitive assets due within one year by $2,675,000.
As part of managing liquidity, the Company monitors its loan to deposit ratio on a daily basis. At March 31, 2004 the ratio was 96.0% which is slightly above the Company's 95% acceptable range.
The Company experienced a decrease in cash and cash equivalents, its primary source of liquidity, of $6,690,930 for the three months ended March 31, 2004. The primary source of cash flow for the three months ended March 31, 2004 was cash provided by proceeds of borrowed funds of $2,000,000. Cash outflow for the three months ended March 31, 2004 was primarily used for investing activities, specifically an increase in loans of $6,227,554. The Company's management believes its liquidity sources are adequate to meet its operating needs and does not know of any trends, events or uncertainties that may result in a significant adverse effect on the Company's operations or liquidity position.
The Company has expanded operations into the Forestville, Wisconsin market in April 2004. The Company purchased a building and furnished it with office equipment and furniture. The effect of the expansion may be a slight short-term negative impact to the Company's net income; however, it is projected to be profitable near the end of the first year of operations.
The following table illustrates the projected maturities and the repricing mechanisms of the major asset/liability categories of the Company as of March 31, 2004, based on certain assumptions. No prepayment rate assumptions have been made for the loan portfolio. Maturities and repricing dates for investments have been projected by applying the assumptions set forth below to contractual maturities and repricing dates.
