PART I ITEM 1. BUSINESS (A) General Description of Business ------------------------------- Homeland Bankshares Corporation ("Homeland") is a multi-bank holding company incorporated in Iowa in 1981 and registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended. Based on total assets of $1,232,907,000 at December 31, 1995, Homeland was the second largest multi-bank holding company headquartered in Iowa, and the seventh largest multi-bank holding company conducting business in Iowa. From 1981 until 1994, the company was known as Iowa National Bankshares Corp. Effective December 31, 1994, the company changed its name to Homeland Bankshares Corporation, and all of the company's operating subsidiaries adopted corporate names that reflected the "Homeland" trademark. Homeland operates four wholly-owned commercial banks, one wholly-owned savings and loan association, and three wholly-owned subsidiaries which provide retail financial services. At December 31, 1995, Homeland and its subsidiaries had 502 full-time and 115 part-time employees. Homeland Bank, N.A., Waterloo, became a subsidiary of Homeland pursuant to the terms of a plan of reorganization which was consummated on December 31, 1981. The bank is the successor bank to a national bank which was originally organized in 1933 under the laws of the United States. The bank is engaged in the general commercial banking business providing full-service banking to individuals and businesses, and also offers correspondent banking services to over 170 financial institutions throughout Iowa. Based on total assets of $579,150,000 at December 31, 1995, Homeland Bank, N.A. was the largest commercial bank headquartered in Waterloo, and the fifth largest bank in Iowa. Homeland Savings Bank, FSB and its parent thrift holding company, Homeland Financial Corporation (formerly MidAmerica Financial Corporation), were acquired by Homeland on June 1, 1994. Homeland Savings Bank, FSB is a federally chartered savings and loan association which is the successor to a savings and loan which was originally organized in 1905. Homeland Savings Bank, FSB provides banking services primarily in the Des Moines, Waterloo, Cedar Rapids, and Iowa City banking markets. Based on total assets of $381,319,000 at December 31, 1995, it was the fourth largest thrift institution headquartered in Iowa. Homeland Bank in Indianola, which was acquired by Homeland on December 31, 1986, is an Iowa banking corporation which was originally chartered in 1919. Based on total assets of $125,942,000 at December 31, 1995, the bank was the largest full-service commercial bank in its principal market area of Warren County, Iowa. Warren County is adjacent to Des Moines, which is Iowa's largest city in terms of population. Homeland Bank in Oelwein, which was acquired by Homeland on December 31, 1988, is an Iowa banking corporation and successor to a state bank originally chartered in 1946. At December 31, 1995, the bank had total assets of $90,705,000, making it the largest commercial bank in its principal market area of Fayette County, which is located in the northeast section of Iowa. Homeland Bank in Monticello, which was acquired by Homeland on April 23, 1990, is an Iowa banking corporation and successor to a state bank originally chartered in 1875. Based on total assets of $141,462,000 at December 31, 1995, the bank was the largest commercial bank in its primary market area of Jones County, located in the east-central portion of Iowa. Homeland Trust Company is an Iowa corporation formed in 1987 as a wholly- owned subsidiary of Homeland Savings Bank, FSB. The company, which is located in Des Moines, provides personal and commercial trust services. Homeland Student Loan Company is an Iowa corporation formed in 1987, and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Homeland Savings Bank, FSB. The company, which is located in West Des Moines, originates and services government- sponsored student loans for Homeland and for other financial institutions located throughout Iowa and surrounding states. Homeland Investment Company is an Iowa corporation formed in 1994 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Homeland Bank in Indianola. The company provides securities brokerage services and engages in the sale of various insurance products for all Homeland banks through a third-party relationship. Statistical data and financial information related to Homeland's business and operations are found under Items 6, 7, and 8 of this report. (B) Competition and Iowa Banking Law -------------------------------- The commercial banking business in Iowa is highly competitive. Homeland and its subsidiaries are in direct competition with other commercial banks, savings and loan associations, credit unions, brokerage firms, finance companies, insurance companies, and other financial institutions. Iowa's banking laws regarding interstate banking and interstate branching are currently more restrictive than those of most other states. Prior to 1991, Iowa banking law prohibited interstate banking altogether, except for certain grandfathered rights extended to the largest bank holding company conducting business in Iowa, Norwest Corporation, which is headquartered in Minnesota. Since January 1, 1991, Iowa banking law has been less restrictive by allowing limited interstate banking by permitting financial institutions whose operations are principally conducted in Illinois, Missouri, Nebraska, South Dakota, Minnesota, or Wisconsin to conduct business in Iowa by acquiring an existing Iowa banking organization. Conversely, Iowa financial institutions may expand operations into Iowa's six neighboring states, provided such expansion is accomplished by acquisition rather than by branching. Since the law was enacted in 1991, a number of Iowa-based financial institutions have been acquired by out-of-state bank holding companies including Firstar Corporation, Boatmen's Bancshares, Inc., Mercantile Bancorporation Inc., First Bank System, Inc., and Community First Bankshares, Inc. Interstate branching by out-of-state banks into Iowa is still expressly prohibited by Iowa statutes. Iowa also currently has a deposit concentration limit of 10% on the amount of deposits that any one banking organization can control and continue to acquire banks, which applies to both in-state and out-of-state banks. Iowa also has a 35% limit on the aggregate amount of deposits all out-of-state banking organizations can control within Iowa. As with its laws regarding interstate banking and branching, Iowa's intrastate branching statutes are also rather restrictive when compared with those of other states. Generally, bank branch offices may only be operated or acquired in counties contiguous to or cornering upon the county in which the bank has its principal place of business. Also, a bank in Iowa may not establish a new branch office in a city in which there exists an office of another bank, other than by acquisition of an existing office or bank. Furthermore, the number of bank branch offices allowed within a municipal corporation or an urban complex is limited to four offices in populations of 100,000 or less, five offices in populations of over 100,000 to 200,000, and six offices in areas with populations over 200,000. However, some of Iowa's intrastate branching limitations regarding geographic location of branch offices and the number of branch offices which may be established in an urban complex may be overcome by merging two or more affiliated banking organizations that have been in continuous operation in Iowa for at least five years into a "united community bank." In September 1994, Congress passed interstate banking and branching legislation which permitted nationwide interstate banking effective September 29, 1995, and subject to ratification by each particular state, would permit interstate bank branching and would increase each state's deposit concentration limit to 30% effective June 1, 1997. If Iowa elects to do so, it may continue to 1) limit the means by which an out-of-state bank may acquire a bank within the state, 2) prohibit out-of-state banks from branching into the state, and 3) set its own deposit concentration limit. Management believes that Iowa is likely to adopt legislation that would be equivalent to the federal bank branching statutes. However, if Iowa were to continue its restrictive posture toward future interstate banking and branching operations, Homeland, nevertheless, has the ability to enter new markets both inside and outside Iowa by utilizing its thrift subsidiary, Homeland Savings Bank, FSB. As a savings and loan institution, Homeland Savings Bank, FSB presently has the distinct advantage of not being subject to branching limitations imposed upon banks operating in Iowa. Since savings and loans currently have virtually unlimited nationwide branch office expansion capabilities, Homeland is capable of expanding geographically. During 1995, Congress proposed federal legislation which would require thrift institutions to convert to banks by January 1, 1998, and relinquish certain branching capabilities. The likelihood of proposed federal or Iowa legislation being enacted and any related competitive impact upon Homeland is uncertain at this time. (C) Regulation and Governmental Policies ------------------------------------ Homeland and its subsidiaries, as affiliates, are subject to regulation by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. Homeland Bank, N.A., as a national bank, is supervised and regularly examined by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. Homeland Savings Bank, FSB, as a federally- chartered savings and loan institution, is supervised and regularly examined by the Office of Thrift Supervision. The Homeland Banks in Indianola, Oelwein, and Monticello, as state-chartered nonmember banks of the Federal Reserve System, are supervised and regularly examined by the Iowa Division of Banking and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. These banking regulators have capital adequacy guidelines which stipulate that minimum capital-to-asset ratios be maintained. At December 31, 1995, Homeland and each of its subsidiaries were in compliance with those capital standards. The operations and profitability of Homeland and its subsidiaries are influenced by general economic conditions (particularly those in the midwestern United States), fiscal and monetary policies of the federal government and its agencies, and banking statutes and legislation at both the federal and state levels. Specifically, federal fiscal and monetary policies affect interest rates and the availability of funds, while banking legislation frequently changes the competitive environment of the banking industry. Just as future governmental policies and legislation cannot be predicted, neither can the effects of such events be accurately determined.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FINANCIAL REVIEW This financial review section presents management's discussion and analysis of Homeland Bankshares Corporation ("Homeland") for 1995, 1994, and 1993. It is provided to enable a better understanding of the significant factors affecting Homeland's operations. This financial review should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, accompanying notes, and the financial statistics presented elsewhere within this Form 10-K. =========================================================================== EARNINGS ANALYSIS PERFORMANCE SUMMARY Homeland reported consolidated net earnings for 1995 of $13,621,000, the highest in the company's history. This represented an 11.1% increase over 1994 net earnings of $12,261,000. The increase in net income also improved earnings per share to $2.37 from $2.14 the previous year. Net income in 1993 was $12,020,000 with per share earnings of $2.11. COMPONENTS OF NET INCOME PER SHARE (Dollars per share) 1995 1994 1993 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Net interest income $8.30 $7.27 $ 6.12 Provision for loan losses .16 .05 .14 Noninterest income 2.03 1.68 1.63 Noninterest expenses 6.33 5.64 4.50 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Income before income taxes 3.84 3.26 3.11 Income tax expense 1.47 1.12 1.00 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- NET INCOME PER SHARE $2.37 $2.14 $ 2.11 ======================================================================= Earnings during 1995 benefited from increases in net interest income and noninterest income, but were partially offset by higher loan loss provision and noninterest expenses. Solid loan growth and improvement in nonperforming assets also contributed to the higher 1995 financial results. Increases in net interest income similarly benefited 1994 earnings compared to 1993, as well as a reduction in the loan loss provision for that year; however, increased noninterest expenses held down 1994 net income to a modest 2.0% increase over 1993. Comparisons of 1995 results of operations with prior years are significantly affected by the addition of MidAmerica Financial Corporation ("MidAmerica") which was acquired by Homeland on June 1, 1994. MidAmerica's total assets at its acquisition date were $356 million. The cash acquisition was accounted for as a purchase, and therefore, the results of operations of MidAmerica are only included subsequent to the date of acquisition. MidAmerica provided $616,000 and $606,000 to Homeland's consolidated net income during 1995 and 1994, respectively, increasing consolidated earnings per share by $.11 each year. RETURN ON AVERAGE ASSETS AND EQUITY (Taxable-equivalent basis) (Percentage of average assets) 1995 1994 1993 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Net interest income 3.98% 4.01% 3.96% Provision for loan losses .08 .03 .09 Noninterest income .95 .90 1.05 Noninterest expenses 2.96 3.02 2.91 Income tax expense .78 .71 .65 --------------------------------------------------------------------- RETURN ON AVERAGE ASSETS 1.11 1.15 1.36 x Average assets to equity 10.13X 9.47x 8.28x ---------------------------------------------------------------------- RETURN ON AVERAGE EQUITY 11.27% 10.86% 11.30% ====================================================================== Homeland's return on average assets was 1.11% in 1995, compared to 1.15% and 1.36% in 1994 and 1993, respectively. This ratio was lowered significantly following Homeland's thrift acquisition in 1994 as savings institutions typically operate with a lower return on assets than do commercial banks. Return on average equity is another standard measurement that indicates how effectively a company has generated earnings on the capital invested by its shareholders. Homeland's return on average equity was 11.27% in 1995 compared to 10.86% in 1994 and 11.30% in 1993. Homeland's relatively high equity-to-assets ratio, while providing a solid foundation for the company to operate from, has served to restrain the company's return on equity over the last few years. The equity-to-assets ratios at December 31, 1995 and 1994 were 10.33% and 9.64%, respectively. Management continues to search for profitable uses for its excess capital. NET INTEREST INCOME Net interest income is the excess of the interest and fees received on interest earning assets over the interest expense paid on interest bearing liabilities, while taxable-equivalent net interest income includes an adjustment to ensure that interest income on taxable and nontaxable assets is comparable. Net interest income totaled $47,676,000 in 1995, $41,656,000 in 1994, and $34,845,000 in 1993. Taxable-equivalent net interest income was $48,653,000 in 1995, $42,923,000 in 1994, and $36,290,000 in 1993. Homeland has experienced substantial growth in net interest income from a combination of earning assets growth and effective management of overall interest rate sensitivity and liquidity. During 1995, a 15.1% growth in average earning assets offset a modest seven basis point reduction in net interest margin and resulted in a 14.5% increase in net interest income. Although a significant part of the earning asset growth was due to the inclusion of MidAmerica balances since June 1, 1994, net interest income also benefited as lower-yielding securities matured and were reinvested into higher-yielding quality loans. NET INTEREST SPREAD AND MARGIN (Taxable-equivalent basis) 1995 1994 1993 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Yield on interest earning assets 8.30% 7.50% 7.25% Rate on interest bearing liabilities 4.60 3.66 3.33 --------------------------------------------------------------------- NET INTEREST SPREAD 3.70 3.84 3.92 Noninterest bearing funds contribution .62 .55 .60 --------------------------------------------------------------------- NET INTEREST MARGIN 4.32% 4.39% 4.52% ===================================================================== Net interest spread is the difference between the yield on interest earning assets and the rate paid on interest bearing liabilities, while net interest margin includes the benefit of noninterest bearing funds. Management attempts to maintain an appropriate mixture of interest sensitive assets and liabilities to stabilize net interest income in times of volatile market interest rates. From a declining market interest rate environment in 1993, short-term market rates increased dramatically during 1994 by as much as 300 basis points, and then beginning early in 1995 began to ease back, until by the end of 1995 they had fallen by approximately 100 basis points from their earlier peak. Homeland's net interest margin declined from 4.52% in 1993 to 4.39% in 1994 and 4.32% in 1995. The net interest margin decline was largely attributable to Homeland's thrift acquisition in mid-1994, since savings institutions generally operate at a lower net interest margin than commercial banks. Although MidAmerica's substantially lower net interest margin of 4.13% in 1994 and 3.75% in 1995 had an initial negative effect on Homeland's consolidated net interest margin, Homeland is compensated by the earnings growth potential gained through the thrift's capabilities of entering new markets currently unavailable to commercial banks in Iowa. NONINTEREST INCOME (Percentage of average assets) 1995 1994 1993 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Data processing services .21% .24% .28% Trust services .20 .21 .29 Student loan servicing fees .09 .02 --- Deposit account service charges .25 .25 .28 Securities gains (losses) --- --- .01 Other .20 .18 .19 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Total .95% .90% 1.05% ===================================================================== Management's ability to provide diversified financial services to its customers has created steady growth in noninterest income. Total noninterest income increased by 20.6% in 1995 to $11,665,000 from $9,676,000 in 1994 due mainly to the inclusion of a full year of MidAmerica's noninterest income. During 1994, noninterest income showed an increase of $399,000 or 4.3% over 1993. As a percentage of average assets, noninterest income improved to .95% in 1995 after a decline in 1994 to .90% from 1.05% in 1993. Data processing service fees remained relatively stable at $2,511,000, $2,529,000, and $2,452,000 for 1995, 1994, and 1993, respectively. Homeland provides data processing and correspondent banking services to over 170 financial institutions from its main processing center in Waterloo and from a satellite location in Des Moines. Trust revenues increased by 10.0% to $2,450,000 during 1995 from $2,228,000 in 1994, after declining from $2,534,000 in 1993. Trust fee income benefited from the managed asset growth during 1995 after a disappointing year in 1994. Increased competition from insurance and brokerage companies continue to be a significant factor in restraining trust revenues. The primary reason for the higher noninterest income during 1995 was an increase of $814,000 in student loan servicing fees, a source of fee income that originated for Homeland with its acquisition of MidAmerica in mid-1994. The student loan servicing fees during 1994 were $272,000, rising to $1,086,000 in 1995. Deposit account service charge income increased during 1995 and 1994 by $361,000 and $277,000, respectively. Deposit account service charges have remained relatively stable as a percentage of average assets during the last three years. Other noninterest income increased by $562,000 or 29.1% in 1995 to $2,493,000. The prior year totaled $1,931,000, increasing from $1,740,000 in 1993. Revenue generated from real estate loans sold on the secondary market contributed $916,000 to other noninterest income in 1995, $363,000 in 1994, and $316,000 in 1993. The addition of a full year's mortgage operations from the acquired thrift was the main reason for the increase in 1995. NONINTEREST EXPENSES (Percentage of average assets) 1995 1994 1993 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Salaries and wages 1.23% 1.18% 1.16% Employee benefits .32 .38 .39 Occupancy .22 .23 .24 Equipment .19 .22 .22 Supplies .09 .08 .09 Advertising and promotion .14 .16 .12 Professional fees .08 .11 .08 FDIC insurance .11 .18 .19 Intangible amortization .18 .14 .08 Insurance .03 .04 .04 Communications .06 .06 .05 Postage and freight .05 .05 .06 Other real estate owned (.02) (.05) .01 Other .29 .24 .18 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Total 2.97% 3.02% 2.91% ===================================================================== Total noninterest expenses increased by $4.0 million in 1995 compared to 1994, and $6.7 million in 1994 compared to 1993. A significant component of this expense increase was the inclusion of a full year of MidAmerica's costs in 1995 and seven months of expense in 1994. During 1995 and 1994, MidAmerica added expenses of $11,765,000 and $6,562,000, respectively. Total noninterest expense as a percentage of average assets declined to 2.97% in 1995 from 3.02% in 1994, after increasing from 2.91% in 1993. One measurement of effective management of cost control is the efficiency ratio which represents adjusted operating expenses as a percentage of noninterest income and net interest income on a fully taxable-equivalent basis. Homeland's efficiency ratio was 57.19% for 1995, 59.75% for 1994, and 54.69% for 1993. The improvement during 1995 reflects management's efforts to reduce post-acquisition noninterest expenses through systems conversions, departmental consolidations, and centralization of banking functions to gain operating efficiencies and to improve customer services. Personnel costs were $18,998,000 in 1995, $16,655,000 in 1994, and $13,652,000 in 1993. Excluding MidAmerica costs, personnel expenses declined to $13,678,000 in 1995 from $13,723,000 in 1994. Management has controlled noninterest expenses related to human resources through savings realized in group health insurance premiums and reductions of full-time equivalent staff. Advertising and promotion expenses included costs associated with Homeland's name change in 1995 which totaled approximately $550,000. The increase in 1994 from 1993 resulted from the addition of MidAmerica and its costs of $481,000 for the seven months of 1994. A significant development during 1995 was the reduction in FDIC deposit insurance premiums for commercial banks from $.23 per $100 of deposits to $.04 per $100 of deposits effective as of June 1, 1995. This resulted in a $590,000 reduction in Homeland's FDIC insurance expense during 1995. All Homeland institutions currently maintain a "well-capitalized" status which qualify them for the lowest applicable FDIC premium rates. In addition, starting January 1, 1996, the commercial bank deposit premium was further lowered to virtually zero. Federal legislation has been proposed which would require the recapitalization of the FDIC's Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF"). The proposal would assess a special one-time charge of $.85 per $100 of SAIF deposits, which could result in an estimated expense to Homeland of approximately $2,200,000 sometime in the future, and would reduce Homeland's future SAIF deposit insurance premiums from the present $.23 per $100 of deposits to as low as zero, in turn reducing Homeland's future FDIC premium expense by an estimated $500,000 per year. Homeland recognized intangible amortization expense of $2,149,000, $1,462,000, and $731,000 in 1995, 1994, and 1993, respectively. The increased level of amortization during 1994 was a result of the MidAmerica acquisition. Intangible assets consist of core deposit intangibles and goodwill. Gains from the disposition of other real estate owned resulted in net income of $276,000 during 1995 and $566,000 in 1994, compared to net expense of $52,000 in 1993. Other real estate owned properties were reduced to a nominal level by the end of 1995. Total other noninterest expenses were $5,183,000 in 1995, a 23.1% increase as a full year of MidAmerica expenses were included in comparison to seven months of expense in 1994. Excluding the expense of MidAmerica, other noninterest expenses were $2,969,000 in 1995, $3,344,000 in 1994, and $2,984,000 in 1993. INCOME TAX EXPENSE Homeland's effective income tax rate increased to 38.2% in 1995, up from 34.4% in 1994, and 32.1% in 1993. The effective income tax rates differ from the marginal income tax rate of 35% primarily because of interest income on tax-exempt securities and loans. Homeland's reduction of its investment in tax-exempt obligations, as well as the increased nondeductible amortization of intangible assets, have contributed to the effective rate increases. NEWLY-ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of," was issued in March 1995 with an effective date for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. This statement specifies when certain long-lived assets should be reviewed for impairment and how to measure and report an impairment loss. Management believes that the effect of the statement on Homeland's consolidated financial statements will not be material. SFAS No. 122, "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights," was issued in May 1995 with an effective date for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 1995. This statement amends SFAS No. 65 by establishing a new standard for capitalizing mortgage servicing rights. Under SFAS No. 122, the accounting principles for mortgage servicing rights are the same for mortgages originated by the servicer as for those acquired through purchase transactions. Accordingly, under the new statement, a bank would record an asset for mortgage servicing rights when it sold mortgages and retained the servicing. Management believes that the effect of the statement on Homeland's financial statements will not be material. SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," was issued in October 1995 with an effective date for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. This statement established financial accounting and reporting standards for stock-based employee compensation plans applying a fair value based method to measure the compensation cost. Management believes that the effect of the statement on Homeland's financial statements will not be material. CREDIT RISK MANAGEMENT CREDIT ORIGINATION, MANAGEMENT, AND REVIEW The management of Homeland believes that sound lending represents a desirable and profitable means of employing bank funds. During 1995, management upheld its objective to strengthen credit management and credit review, both which are essential for maintaining a quality loan portfolio. Credit approval functions are locally-based and include a review process to ensure that sound and consistent credit decisions are made. Each credit request is analyzed and passed through an approval process to ensure that proper documentation and underwriting standards are met before credit is extended. Larger transactions require higher levels of authorization, including review by Homeland's executive management. Once credit has been extended, the borrower's financial condition is continually monitored to maintain credit quality. In addition, a holding company credit review function reviews, tests, and monitors credit quality on an ongoing basis. A uniform credit risk rating system is utilized by all Homeland subsidiaries, allowing risk to be analyzed and controlled on a consistent companywide basis. When credits reach a predetermined level of risk, they are placed in watch list categories and receive increased attention from senior management and each institution's board of directors. This credit risk rating system drives the process of determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses and the amount of the provision for loan losses. ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES The allowance for loan losses is a valuation reserve for estimated losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Actual credit losses, net of recoveries, are deducted from the allowance for loan losses when they occur. Factors considered in the evaluation of the allowance level include estimated future losses from loan agreements and obligations, deterioration in credit concentrations or pledged collateral, and historical loss experience, as well as trends in portfolio volume, composition, delinquencies, and nonaccruals. Management assesses the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses of each subsidiary every quarter. However, actual losses could differ significantly from the amounts estimated by management. SFAS No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," was adopted January 1, 1995. Under this standard, loans considered to be impaired are reduced to the present value of the expected future cash flows or to the fair value of collateral by allocating a portion of the allowance for loan losses to such loans. If these allocations cause the allowance for loan losses to require increase, such increase is reported as provision for loan losses. Adopting the standard resulted in no initial increase to either the allowance for loan losses or the provision for loan losses for Homeland. The balance in the reserve for loan losses was $8.6 million at December 31, 1995, representing 1.02% of total loans and 174% of nonperforming assets. At December 31, 1994, the allowance stood at $9.1 million, or 1.15% of total loans and 122% of nonperforming assets. The 1993 loan loss reserve was $7.3 million, representing 1.57% of total loans and 69% of nonperforming assets at December 31, 1993. The lower allowance-to-loans percentages in 1994 and 1995 reflect the shift in Homeland's loan composition to a higher percentage of consumer real estate loans that generally carry less inherent risk than do commercial loans. Net charge offs totaled $1,420,000, $129,000, and $867,000 for the three years ending December 31, 1995. As a percentage of average loans, net charge offs were .17% in 1995, .02% in 1994, and .20% in 1993. Over the last five years Homeland's net charge offs have averaged .25% of average loans. Homeland's provision for loan losses was $941,000 in 1995, $296,000 in 1994, and $770,000 in 1993. The year 1994 benefited from the $665,000 recovery of a single commercial real estate loan which had been previously charged off. RISK ELEMENT LOANS DECEMBER 31, ----------------------- (Dollars in millions) 1995 1994 1993 -------------------------------------------------------------------- Loans past due 90 days or more (1)<F1> $ 2.8 $ 1.6 $ .4 Nonaccrual loans 1.8 5.4 9.7 -------------------------------------------------------------------- Total nonperforming loans 4.6 7.0 10.1 Restructured loans .3 .3 .5 Potential problem loans 13.4 17.1 14.2 -------------------------------------------------------------------- Total risk element loans $18.3 $24.4 $24.8 ==================================================================== (1)<F1> Includes government sponsored student loans totaling $1.6 million in 1995 and $1.1 million in 1994, for which there is minimal risk of loss. Complementing Homeland's loan volume growth has been a decline in the level of nonperforming assets. Nonperforming loans decreased by $2.4 million during 1995, including a 66% reduction in nonaccrual loans. During 1995, Homeland's largest problem loan was satisfied through a negotiated sale of Homeland's rights which reduced total nonperforming loans by approximately $1 million. Nonperforming loans decreased by $3.1 million during 1994, primarily from loan principal paydowns. Expressed as a percentage of total loans and foreclosed property, nonperforming assets improved to .58% at December 31, 1995, compared to .94% and 2.28% at the end of 1994 and 1993, respectively. Homeland's asset quality is a reflection of the company's community-based banking focus and conservative lending policies. If nonaccrual and restructured loans had been current in accordance with their original terms, interest income would have been increased by $105,000 in 1995 and $545,000 in 1994. In addition to nonperforming and restructured loans at December 31, 1995, Homeland management identified loans totaling $13.4 million for which payments were presently current, but the borrowers were experiencing financial difficulties. These potential problem loans included loans that have been identified by the credit review process as being inadequately protected by the current worth and payment capacity of the borrowers, or of the collateral pledged as security. Foreclosed property declined to $325,000 at December 31, 1995, down from $356,000 and $562,000 at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively, as dispositions continued to exceed new additions of foreclosed property. Agricultural loans are the only industry concentration that exceeded 10% of total loans. At December 31, 1995, Homeland had $46.3 million of agricultural operating loans and $55.8 million of real estate loans secured by farmland, which together aggregated 12.1% of total loans. These agricultural related loans included $446,000 classified by management as nonaccrual and $8.5 million as potential problem loans, aggregating 1.1% of total loans. No agricultural related loans were restructured at December 31, 1995. At December 31, 1995, Homeland had no interest earning assets, other than loans, that met past due, nonaccrual, restructured, or potential problem loan criteria. BALANCE SHEET ANALYSIS FEDERAL FUNDS AND SECURITIES Homeland's core deposits have historically provided adequate funding to satisfy customer loan demand. Any excess funds are invested in federal funds sold or securities. Also, on a daily basis, Homeland purchases federal funds from its respondent banks as a correspondent banking service. At December 31, 1995, total securities were $217.6 million compared to $282.5 million the prior year-end, a decrease of 23%. Excluding the securities acquired in connection with the MidAmerica acquisition in 1994, securities declined during 1994 from 1993, by approximately 28%. Homeland has downsized it securities portfolio by utilizing maturing securities to satisfy increased loan demand. Homeland's securities portfolio had an average maturity of 1.9 years at December 31, 1995, compared to 2.3 years and 2.5 years at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively. Effective January 1, 1994, Homeland adopted SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," which resulted in a net increase to stockholders' equity of $778,000, net of deferred income taxes. In November 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued implementation guidance for SFAS No. 115. Accordingly, on December 31, 1995, Homeland reclassified securities with an amortized cost of $79,680,000 and net unrealized gains of $952,000 from held to maturity to available for sale. Homeland does not engage in any speculative trading with its securities portfolio, nor does it hold any exotic derivative instruments which have recently received much attention from the financial press and regulatory agencies. Management feels that while these transactions may offer benefits to some investors, Homeland's balance sheet is more efficiently managed with conventional strategies. LOANS Management's ability to lend money at profitable rates to attract borrowers is greatly affected by economic conditions. Loan growth during 1995 benefited from the favorable economic conditions in Homeland's market area. Total loans grew by 6.6% from 1994 to 1995, reaching $845 million at December 31, 1995. Consumer real estate loans led all loan categories with an 11.3% increase, followed by consumer loans with an 8.2% growth during 1995. The more modest increases in commercial and commercial real estate loans were accompanied by an improvement in credit quality, as indicated by the reduced amount of nonperforming assets. Total loans increased during 1994 from 1993 by 70.5%, primarily due to $233 million in loans acquired with the MidAmerica acquisition. DEPOSITS Customer deposits are the principal source of funds available for lending and investing activities. Deposit levels were up slightly from $949 million the previous year to $963 million at December 31, 1995. Homeland's loan-to-deposit ratio increased from 84% in 1994 to 88% in 1995. Supplementing the funding provided by customer deposits, Homeland utilizes a variety of other funding sources including Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings and federal funds purchased from other banks. BORROWINGS During 1995, Homeland elected to reduce its borrowing costs by extending $40 million of short-term borrowings to long-term debt maturing in 1997. CAPITAL RESOURCES CAPITAL RATIOS REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS ------------------------- WELL MINIMUM 1995 1994 CAPITALIZED REQUIREMENT ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tier I risk-based capital 13.78% 13.03% 6.00% 4.00% Total risk-based capital 14.84 14.18 10.00 8.00 Leverage capital 8.63 8.11 5.00 4.00 Banking is an extensively regulated industry. To maintain the shareholders' and customers' security, banking regulatory agencies have set forth capital requirements based upon the relative risk of different assets held by banks. Homeland's capital ratios have consistently exceeded the "well-capitalized" regulatory capital requirements for financial institutions. While successfully maintaining an adequate level of capital, Homeland has consistently paid quarterly cash dividends to its shareholders. Dividends received from Homeland's subsidiaries are the primary source of funds available to Homeland for payment of cash dividends to its shareholders, for acquisitions, and for debt repayment. State and federal banking regulations require minimum capital levels to be maintained and impose certain restrictions on the amount of cash dividends that subsidiaries can pay to their parent company in any given year. At December 31, 1995, stockholders' equity of Homeland subsidiaries totaled $122 million, of which approximately $13 million was available for the payment of cash dividends to Homeland. Homeland's stockholders' equity totaled $127.3 million at December 31, 1995, 11.0% higher than December 31, 1994. The net unrealized gain on securities available for sale, net of deferred income taxes, was $622,000 at December 31, 1995, compared to a net unrealized loss at year-end 1994 of $3,287,000. Declining market interest rates during 1995 were responsible for the securities portfolio market value improvement. Homeland's closing market trade prices were $29.75 and $23.25 at December 31, 1995 and 1994, with book values per share of $22.18 and $19.99, respectively. Homeland common stock is traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the trading symbol "HLND." During 1993, Homeland had a two-for-one common stock split which was the seventh split since Homeland was organized in 1981. The split was effected in the form of a 100% stock dividend with Homeland issuing 2,839,073 new common shares. Homeland had no commitments for any significant capital expenditures at December 31, 1995, and currently carries no long-term debt at the parent company. ASSET-LIABILITY MANAGEMENT Asset-liability management encompasses both the maintenance of adequate liquidity and the management of interest rate sensitivity. Liquidity management involves planning to meet anticipated funding needs, while interest rate sensitivity management attempts to provide the optimal level of net interest income while managing exposure to risks associated with interest rate movements. LIQUIDITY Core deposits have historically provided Homeland with a major source of stable and relatively low cost funding. Secondary sources of liquidity include federal funds sold, maturing securities and loans, securities available for sale, and borrowed funds. In the normal course of business, Homeland banks have established short-term lines of credit for the management of daily liquidity needs. At December 31, 1995, these unused lines of credit aggregated $111 million. During 1995, cash and cash equivalents increased to $119.9 million at year-end compared to $61.4 million at the end of 1994. The $58 million increase was provided by $18 million of operating activities, $16 million of investing activities, and $24 million of financing activities. An increase in the amount of federal funds purchased from downstream respondent banks was largely responsible for generating the higher level of cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 1995. INTEREST RATE SENSITIVITY Interest rate sensitivity has traditionally been measured by gap analysis, which represents the difference between assets and liabilities that reprice in certain time periods. This method, while useful, has a number of limitations as it is a static point-in-time measurement and does not take into account the varying degrees of sensitivity to interest rates within the balance sheet. As shown in the following table, on a static-gap basis, the cumulative ratio of interest sensitive assets to interest sensitive liabilities in a one-year time frame was 1.24, and as a percentage of total assets was 10.29%. Because of the inherent limitations of gap analysis, Homeland uses an earnings simulation model to more realistically measure its sensitivity to changing interest rates. Management monitors the rate sensitivity and liquidity positions on an ongoing basis and, when necessary, appropriate action is taken to minimize any adverse effects of rapid interest rate movements or any unexpected liquidity concerns.

Net income per share comparisons were $.64 and $.56, respectively. Net interest income increased by $305,000 for the last three months of 1995 compared to the same three-month period in 1994 due to a higher level of earning assets. Net interest margin for the fourth quarter was 4.22% in 1995 and 4.36% in 1994. The net interest income increase was supplemented by a total $954,000 benefit of higher noninterest income and lower noninterest expenses in the fourth quarter of 1995 compared to the same quarter in 1994; however, higher loan loss provision and income tax expense lowered the overall 1995 fourth quarter net income increase to $451,000. The noninterest income for the fourth quarter of 1995 included a $242,000 increase in trust service revenue and $169,000 increase in student loan servicing fees compared to the 1994 fourth quarter. The reduction of FDIC insurance premiums totaling $334,000 was the primary reason for the decrease in 1995 fourth quarter noninterest expenses compared to the same period of 1994. Other expense categories showing a decrease in the fourth quarter comparisons included equipment, supplies, advertising and promotion, and professional fees. This aggregate decline of certain expenses was offset by higher personnel costs for the final three months of 1995 in comparison to the same period of 1994.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Homeland Bankshares Corporation ("Homeland") is a diversified financial services company. Homeland owns and operates four commercial banks and one savings and loan association that provide a wide variety of financial services through a network of 34 locations in Iowa. Homeland also provides data processing and correspondent banking services to more than 170 financial institutions in Iowa and bordering states. The accounting and financial reporting policies of Homeland and its subsidiaries conform with generally accepted accounting principles and prevailing practices within the financial services industry. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Homeland and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Certain balances for 1994 and 1993 have been reclassified to conform with 1995 consolidated financial statement presentation. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS: Cash equivalents include amounts due from banks and federal funds sold. For cash flow statement purposes, management considers all securities, including those with original maturities of three months or less, to be part of operating or investing activities rather than cash equivalents. SECURITIES: Securities available for sale are reported at fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity. Available for sale securities may be sold for management of general liquidity needs, response to market interest rate fluctuations, implementation of asset-liability management strategy, funding increased loan demand, changes in securities prepayment risk, or other similar factors. Realized gains and losses on sales are computed on a specific identification basis and are shown separately as a component of noninterest income. Securities held to maturity are carried at amortized cost and consist of debt securities for which Homeland has the positive intent and the ability to hold to maturity. Securities held to maturity are stated at cost, net of premium amortization and discount accretion, computed on a specific identification basis. Effective January 1, 1994, Homeland adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," which resulted in a net increase to stockholders' equity of $778,000, net of deferred income taxes. In November 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued implementation guidance for SFAS No. 115. Accordingly, on December 31, 1995, Homeland reclassified securities with an amortized cost of $79,680,000 and net unrealized gains of $952,000 from held to maturity to available for sale. LOANS: Loans are stated at the principal amounts outstanding with interest income recognized based upon those outstanding loan balances. Loans are generally placed on nonaccrual status when principal or interest has been in default for a period of 90 days or more, or when collection of the loan principal or the related interest is otherwise considered doubtful. At the time a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, accrued interest receivable is reversed against interest income of the current period. Loans are returned to accrual status when factors indicating doubtful collectability no longer exist. SFAS No. 114, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," and SFAS No. 118, "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan - Income Recognition and Disclosures," were adopted January 1, 1995. Under these statements, loans considered to be impaired are reduced to the present value of expected future cash flows or to the fair value of collateral, by allocating a portion of the allowance for loan losses to such loans. If these allocations cause the allowance for loan losses to require an increase, such increase is reported as provision for loan losses. Adopting these standards resulted in no initial increase to either the allowance for loan losses or the provision for loan losses. The carrying values of impaired loans are periodically adjusted to reflect cash payments, revised estimates of future cash flows, and increases in the present value of expected cash flows due to the passage of time. Cash payments are reported as reductions in carrying value, while increases or decreases due to changes in estimates of future payments and due to the passage of time are reported as provision for loan losses. ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES: The allowance for loan losses is a valuation reserve for estimated losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Actual credit losses, net of recoveries, are deducted from the allowance for loan losses when they occur. Factors considered in the evaluation of the allowance level include estimated future losses from loan agreements and obligations, deterioration in credit concentrations or pledged collateral, and historical loss experience, as well as trends in portfolio volume, composition, delinquencies, and nonaccruals. Management assesses the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses every quarter. However, actual losses could differ significantly from the amounts estimated by management. PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT: Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is charged to operating expense primarily on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred while major additions and improvements are capitalized. FORECLOSED PROPERTY: Foreclosed properties consist primarily of real estate acquired as a result of customer loan defaults that are carried at the lower of the recorded investments in the defaulted loans or at fair value less estimated selling costs. Losses arising at the time of acquisition of the properties are charged to the allowance for loan losses. INTANGIBLE ASSETS: Goodwill and core deposit intangibles arise from net assets acquired in purchase transactions. Purchased assets and liabilities are recorded at their estimated fair values on the acquisition dates. Intangible assets are reviewed for possible impairment when events or changed circumstances may indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. Goodwill is amortized on a straight-line basis over 15 years. Core deposit intangibles are amortized on a straight-line basis over an average estimated life of approximately 7 years. At December 31, 1995 and 1994, accumulated intangible amortization was $5,453,000 and $3,304,000, respectively. TRUST ASSETS: Assets held by Homeland's subsidiaries in fiduciary or agency capacities are not included in the consolidated financial statements. Trust services fee income is reported on the accrual method. INCOME TAXES: Homeland files a consolidated federal income tax return, and income tax expense is generally allocated as if each affiliate files a separate income tax return. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and income tax rates currently in effect. NET INCOME PER SHARE: Net income per share calculations are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, adjusted for stock splits and for common stock equivalents arising from the assumed exercise of outstanding stock options. INDUSTRY SEGMENT REPORTING: Homeland operates principally in a single business segment offering general commercial banking services. NEWLY-ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS: SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of," was issued in March 1995 with an effective date for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. This statement specifies when certain long-lived assets should be reviewed for impairment and how to measure and report an impairment loss. Management believes that the effect of the statement on Homeland's consolidated financial statements will not be material. SFAS No. 122, "Accounting for Mortgage Servicing Rights," was issued in May 1995 with an effective date for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. This statement amends SFAS No. 65 by establishing a new standard for capitalizing mortgage servicing rights. Under SFAS No. 122, the accounting principles for mortgage servicing rights are the same for mortgages originated by the servicer as for those acquired through purchase transactions. Accordingly, under the new statement, a bank would record an asset for mortgage servicing rights when it sold mortgages and retained the servicing. Management believes that the effect of the statement on Homeland's consolidated financial statements will not be material. SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," was issued in October 1995 with an effective date for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. This statement established financial accounting and reporting standards for stock-based employee compensation plans applying a fair value based method to measure the compensation cost. Management is evaluating whether or not Homeland will change to the recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123; therefore, there has been no determination of the financial effect, if any, of adopting SFAS No. 123 in the year ended December 31, 1996. 2.

ACQUISITION On June 1, 1994, Homeland acquired Homeland Savings Bank, FSB and its parent company, the former MidAmerica Financial Corporation ("MidAmerica"), at a cash purchase price of approximately $50.9 million. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase transaction with the results of MidAmerica's operations subsequent to the acquisition date included in Homeland's consolidated financial statements. Included in other liabilities is $3,000,000, which was withheld from the purchase proceeds of MidAmerica to secure the payment of certain claims asserted within 24 months of the acquisition date. Homeland will distribute these funds, less any reductions, together with interest on the average balance at the annual compound rate of 4%, to the former shareholders of MidAmerica on June 1, 1996. The following unaudited pro forma financial information contains the results of operations for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993, assuming the acquisition of MidAmerica had occurred on January 1, 1993. The pro forma amounts are not necessarily indicative of the financial results that would have actually occurred had the acquisition taken place on January 1, 1993, nor are they necessarily indicative of future consolidated operations of Homeland.

These securities have expected average lives of 1 to 4 years and utilize defensive sequential payment structures to shelter cash flow streams. Student loan participation certificates are backed by government sponsored student loans and are issued through trust arrangements. At December 31, 1995 and 1994, there were no privately issued securities which aggregated more than 10% of Homeland's stockholders' equity.

The amortized cost and fair value of securities at December 31, 1995, are shown below by expected maturity. Expected maturities differ from contractual maturities because issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations. Expected maturities for mortgage-backed securities are determined by using industry derived prepayment assumptions.

The total allowance for loan losses related to these loans was $52,000. The average recorded investment in impaired loans during 1995 was $2,057,000. No interest income was recognized on impaired loans during 1995. CREDIT RISK At December 31, 1995 and 1994, Homeland had nonaccrual loans of $1,852,000 and $5,443,000, and restructured loans of $307,000 and $296,000, respectively. Total interest income that would have been recorded under the original terms of these loans was $247,000 in 1995 and $664,000 in 1994. Actual interest income recorded from these loans was $142,000 in 1995 and $119,000 in 1994. At December 31, 1995, there were no material commitments to lend additional funds to customers whose loans were classified as nonaccrual or restructured. Significant portions of Homeland's loan portfolio consisted of consumer real estate loans, and loans related to agriculture, the primary industry in Homeland's market area. In addition, a substantial amount of credit extended to banks include overnight federal funds sold and term bank stock loans. Certain directors and executive officers of Homeland and its subsidiaries are customers of Homeland banks in the ordinary course of business. Activity of aggregate loans exceeding $60,000 to such directors, executive officers, and their business interests during 1995 was as follows: (Dollars in thousands) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Balance at beginning of year $ 16,121 New loans 7,257 Repayments (4,987) Other changes (2,461) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Balance at end of year $ 15,930 ====================================================================== Other changes include the addition of loans to new directors and executive officers net of the reduction of loans to persons who no longer meet the related party criteria. 6.

FEDERAL FUNDS PURCHASED The outstanding balances for federal funds purchased as of December 31, 1995, 1994, and 1993, and the weighted average interest rates paid during each of the years then ended and at each year-end were as follows: (Dollars in thousands) 1995 1994 1993 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ending balance $ 70,225 $ 27,425 $ 40,000 Highest month-end balance 105,850 64,475 68,675 Average daily balance 60,513 39,534 42,072 Weighted average interest rate Paid during year 5.93% 4.20% 2.81% At year-end 5.63 5.62 2.58 8. OTHER SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS At December 31, 1995, other short-term borrowings consisted of $11 million of advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") and $4.6 million in U.S. Treasury tax depository accounts. The short-term FHLB advances were secured by certain U.S. Government securities, FHLB stock, and a blanket pledge of eligible consumer real estate loans, with a weighted average interest rate at year-end of 5.82%. During 1995, the highest month-end balance of FHLB advances was $67.5 million, and the average daily balance was $51.9 million, with an average interest rate during 1995 of 6.18%. In the normal course of business, Homeland banks have established lines of credit for overnight borrowings for the management of daily liquidity needs. At December 31, 1995, these unused lines of credit aggregated $111 million. 9. LONG-TERM BORROWINGS At December 31, 1995, long-term borrowings consisted of FHLB advances to Homeland subsidiaries with an average fixed interest rate of 5.77%. The long-term advances were secured by eligible consumer real estate loans and FHLB stock and were scheduled to mature as follows: (Dollars in thousands) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1996 $ 225 1997 40,225 1998 225 1999 225 2000 225 Thereafter 2,800 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total $43,925 ========================================================================= 10. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY Homeland is required to ensure capital adequacy by maintaining minimum amounts of capital to total risk-weighted assets, as defined by the banking regulators. Homeland's capital ratios have consistently exceeded the "well- capitalized" regulatory capital requirements for financial institutions as set forth in the following table: REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS ------------------------------- WELL MINIMUM 1995 1994 CAPITALIZED REQUIREMENT ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tier I risk-based capital 13.78% 13.03% 6.00% 4.00% Total risk-based capital 14.84 14.18 10.00 8.00 Leverage capital 8.63 8.11 5.00 4.00 ============================================================================ On August 16, 1993, Homeland had a two-for-one common stock split (effected in the form of a 100% stock dividend), whereby one new share of Homeland common stock was distributed for each share held by shareholders of record as of August 5, 1993. In connection with the stock split, 2,839,073 new common shares were issued. The average number of shares outstanding, net income per share, and dividend per share information have been retroactively restated as a result of the stock split. 11.

The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities at December 31, 1995 and 1994 were as follows: (Dollars in thousands) 1995 1994 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Deferred income tax assets Loan losses $1,131 $1,477 Net unrealized loss on securities available for sale --- 1,889 Employee benefits 60 223 Other 390 540 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Total deferred income tax assets 1,581 4,129 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Deferred income tax liabilities Premises and equipment 381 438 Purchase price allocations 1,404 946 Net unrealized gain on securities available for sale 367 --- Securities discount accretion 282 323 Other 13 74 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Total deferred income tax liabilities 2,447 1,781 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Net deferred income tax assets (liabilities) $ (866) $2,348 ============================================================================== The base year bad debt income tax reserve, defined as income tax reserves arising in tax years beginning before December 31, 1987, was $4,308,000 at December 31, 1995. In accordance with SFAS No. 109, no deferred income tax liability has been recognized on this amount as management does not anticipate that this bad debt income tax reserve will become taxable in the foreseeable future. The effective income tax rate differs from the federal statutory income tax rate in effect each year as a result of the following items: 1995 1994 1993 --------------------------------------------------------------- Federal statutory income tax rate 35.0% 35.0% 35.0% Increase (decrease) from Tax-exempt interest income (3.6) (5.6) (6.6) State income taxes 3.2 3.1 3.5 Amortization of intangibles 3.4 2.7 1.0 Other .2 (.8) (.8) --------------------------------------------------------------- Effective income tax rate 38.2% 34.4% 32.1% =============================================================== 12. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS PENSION PLAN Homeland has a qualified defined benefit pension plan covering all eligible full-time employees. Benefits under this plan are based on years of service and compensation during the years immediately preceding retirement. The plan's primary assets include mutual funds, fixed income mortgages, and cash equivalents. Homeland's funding policy is based on an actuarially determined cost method allowable under Internal Revenue Service regulations. Homeland's contributions to the pension plan for 1995, 1994, and 1993 were $609,000, $400,000, and $391,000, respectively. The components of net pension expense consisted of the following: (Dollars in thousands) 1995 1994 1993 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Service cost - benefits earned during the year $ 444 $ 314 $ 301 Interest cost on projected benefit obligation 216 184 180 Actual loss (return) on plan assets (428) 21 (169) Net amortization and deferral 241 (229) (26) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Net pension expense $ 473 $ 290 $ 286 ======================================================================== Homeland reviews the actuarial assumptions annually and provides adjustments based on current economic conditions and plan characteristics. Although the actual return on plan assets is shown, the expected long-term rate of return used in determining net periodic pension expense was 8% for all periods presented. The difference between the actual return and expected return is included in net amortization and deferral. For all periods presented, the actuarial present value of benefits was determined using a discount rate of 7%, and the rate of compensation increase used to measure the projected benefit obligation was 5%. The funded status of the pension plan at December 31, 1995 and 1994 was as follows: (Dollars in thousands) 1995 1994 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Actuarial present value of benefit obligations Vested benefit obligation $(2,469) $(2,253) Nonvested benefit obligation (158) (52) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Accumulated benefit obligation (2,627) (2,305) Effect of projected future compensation increases (1,059) (782) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Projected benefit obligation (3,686) (3,087) Plan assets at fair value 3,488 2,678 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Plan assets less than the projected benefit obligation (198) (409) Unrecognized net transition liability being recognized over employee service lives 107 115 Unrecognized net loss from past experience different from that assumed 447 602 Unrecognized prior service cost 102 13 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Prepaid pension expense $ 458 $ 321 ===================================================================== PROFIT SHARING PLAN Homeland has a qualified profit sharing plan covering all eligible full-time employees. Contributions to the plan are made when certain consolidated profit conditions are achieved. Additionally, beginning in 1995, employees may participate by contributing a percentage of their salary, a portion of which is matched by Homeland. Total expenses for the profit sharing plan were $894,000, $826,000, and $962,000 in 1995, 1994, and 1993, respectively. STOCK OPTION PLANS Homeland has incentive stock option plans under which 406,250 shares of common stock have been reserved for issuance to officers of Homeland and its subsidiaries. Stock option plans are granted by the board of directors of Homeland for issuance at the market value of the common stock determined as of the date of grant. Shares reserved for issuance under the stock option plans, option prices, and shares available for future option grants have been adjusted for stock splits. Stock option activity during 1995, 1994, and 1993 was as follows: SHARES PRICE ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Outstanding at January 1, 1993 68,800 $ 16.25 Granted --- --- Exercised (600) 16.25 Canceled (7,400) 16.25 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Outstanding at December 31, 1993 60,800 16.25 Granted 82,000 23.25 Exercised (59,967) 16.25 Canceled (5,933) 16.25-23.25 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Outstanding at December 31, 1994 76,900 23.25 Granted --- --- Exercised (1,800) 23.25 Canceled (9,000) 23.25 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- OUTSTANDING AT DECEMBER 31, 1995 66,100 $ 23.25 ====================================================================== Since the inception of the incentive stock option plans, options have been granted and exercised for 324,779 shares. At December 31, 1995, all 66,100 outstanding stock options were exercisable in 1996, and 15,371 shares were available for future option grants until the plan governing these shares expires in May 1997. OTHER PLAN During 1995, Homeland implemented a supplemental retirement income plan for certain key executives and purchased life insurance policies to actuarially finance all future liabilities of the plan. Total expense related to the plan was $79,000 in 1995. 13. ESTIMATED FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Estimated fair value disclosures are reported in accordance with SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments." The estimated fair value of securities is based primarily upon quoted market prices within an active market. For the remaining financial instruments, the estimated fair values presented are management's estimates of the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, based upon estimates using present value and other valuation methods. As these estimates are significantly affected by the assumptions used, estimated fair values may not be comparable between entities, nor would they be realizable in an immediate liquidation of the instruments. SFAS No. 107 excludes certain items from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented are not intended to represent, and do not represent, the underlying value of Homeland. The carrying values and estimated fair values of Homeland's financial instruments at December 31, 1995 and 1994 were as follows: 1995 1994 ------------------- -------------------- ESTIMATED Estimated CARRYING FAIR Carrying Fair (Dollars in thousands) VALUE VALUE Value Value --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ASSETS Cash and cash equivalents $119,922 $119,922 $ 61,392 $ 61,392 Securities 217,556 217,556 282,450 280,286 Net loans 836,186 843,705 783,714 766,463 LIABILITIES Deposits 962,719 968,288 949,360 928,092 Federal funds purchased 70,225 70,225 27,425 27,425 Other short-term borrowings 15,587 15,587 84,320 84,320 Long-term borrowings 43,925 43,965 2,450 2,323 CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS: The carrying value approximates estimated fair value. SECURITIES: The estimated fair value of securities is based on quoted market prices where available. Where not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of similar securities, adjusted for any differences in credit ratings or maturities. NET LOANS: The estimated fair value of loans is calculated by discounting future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and maturities, adjusted for credit and prepayment risks. DEPOSITS: The estimated fair value of demand, money market, and savings deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of time deposits is estimated using a discounted cash flow calculation that applies rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities. FEDERAL FUNDS PURCHASED AND OTHER SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS: The carrying value of federal funds purchased and other short-term borrowings approximate the estimated fair value. LONG-TERM BORROWINGS: The fair value of long-term borrowings is estimated using rates currently available for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities. OFF-BALANCE SHEET FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS: The estimated fair value of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit are estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements. Neither the fees earned during the year or the off-balance instruments' fair value at year-end are material. 14. OFF-BALANCE SHEET FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Homeland engages in off-balance sheet activities to meet the financing needs of customers. Such activities consist principally of commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. Exposure to credit losses is represented by the contractual amounts of the commitments to extend credit or standby letters of credit, and credit losses may be incurred when a customer fails to perform in accordance with the contractual terms. Homeland uses the same credit standards in making commitments and conditional obligations as it uses for making loans. Collateral may be obtained if deemed necessary by management's credit evaluation. Collateral held varies, but generally may include receivables, inventory, equipment, or real estate. The contractual amounts of these financial instruments at December 31, 1995 and 1994 were as follows: (Dollars in thousands) 1995 1994 ----------------------------------------------------------------- Commitments to extend credit Conditional business lines $139,307 $132,544 Credit card lines 23,989 22,530 Home equity lines 28,994 21,624 Other commitments 32,271 21,763 Standby letters of credit 16,805 17,467 Commitments to extend credit are contractual agreements to lend money to customers for a specific period of time provided there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Such commitments may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. Standby letters of credit are issued on behalf of bank customers in connection with contracts between the customers and third parties. Under a standby letter of credit, the bank assures that the third party will not suffer a loss if the customer fails to meet the contractual obligation. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing arrangements such as bond financing and similar transactions. 15. CONTINGENCIES AND STATUTORY RESTRICTIONS Congress is considering legislation that would recapitalize the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF") of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. This legislation would require the SAIF to be fully capitalized by a special assessment levied on all SAIF-insured deposits. Enactment of the proposed legislation could result in a one-time expense of approximately $2.2 million to Homeland in the period of such enactment, and would reduce Homeland's future SAIF deposit insurance premiums from the present $.23 per $100 of deposits to as low as zero, lowering Homeland's future FDIC premium expense by an estimated $500,000 per year. In the normal course of business, Homeland and its subsidiaries are periodically involved in legal proceedings. Management is of the opinion, after review with legal counsel, that there are no such actions at December 31, 1995, that will have a material effect upon the consolidated financial statements. The subsidiaries of Homeland are required to maintain reserve balances at the Federal Reserve Bank based upon deposit levels and other factors. The average balances of reserves required to be maintained were $11,105,000 in 1995 and $10,771,000 in 1994. At December 31, 1995, securities with amortized cost of $52,835,000 were pledged to secure public deposits and for other purposes as required or permitted by law. Dividends received from Homeland's subsidiaries are the primary source of funds available to Homeland for payment of dividends to its shareholders. State and federal banking regulations require minimum capital levels to be maintained and impose certain restrictions on the amount of dividends that subsidiaries may pay in any given year. At December 31, 1995, stockholders' equity of Homeland's subsidiaries totaled $122,327,000, of which approximately $13,000,000 was available for the payment of dividends to Homeland in accordance with these regulatory requirements. 16.

the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Homeland Bankshares Corporation Waterloo, Iowa We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Homeland Bankshares Corporation and its subsidiaries (Homeland) as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related consolidated statements of income, cash flows, and changes in stockholders' equity for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995. These financial statements are the responsibility of Homeland's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Homeland as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. /S/Deloitte & Touche LLP ---------------------------- Deloitte & Touche LLP Des Moines, Iowa January 17, 1996 MANAGEMENT'S REPORT OF FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY The management of Homeland Bankshares Corporation ("Homeland") is responsible for the preparation and integrity of the accompanying consolidated financial statements and all other information contained in this 1995 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and necessarily include amounts that are based on management's informed judgments and estimates. To fulfill its responsibilities for the integrity of financial information, management maintains and relies on Homeland's systems of internal controls. These systems include written policies, an organizational structure providing division of responsibilities, and the selection and training of qualified personnel.

Management believes that Homeland's internal control systems provide reasonable assurance that financial information is accurate, and that material errors or irregularities will be prevented or detected within a timely period. The Board of Directors oversees financial information through an Audit Committee composed solely of nonmanagement directors of Homeland and its subsidiaries. The Audit Committee meets regularly with Homeland's independent auditors, internal auditors, and management to assure that all are properly discharging their responsibilities. The Audit Committee also approves the scope of the internal audits, and reviews any recommendations for improving internal accounting controls.
