NOTE TO CONSOLIDATE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As of September 30, 1999
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
In the opinion of Management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial
statements reflect all adjustments which are necessary to present a fair
statement of the results for the interim periods.
The accounting policies followed by the registrant are set forth in Note A to
the registrant's financial statements in the 1998 First Banking Center, Inc.
(the "Company") annual report which is incorporated by reference herein (see
exhibit A).
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
FIRST BANKING CENTER, INC AND SUBSIDIARIES
BURLINGTON, WISCONSIN
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
As of September 30, 1999
The following discussion provides additional analysis of the financial condition
and results of operations of the Company for the year-to-date ended September
30, 1999. This discussion focuses on the significant factors that affected the
Company's earnings so far in 1999, with comparisons to 1998. As of September 30,
1999, First Banking Center (the "Bank") was the only direct subsidiary of the
Company and its operations contributed nearly all of the revenue for the year.
The Company provides various support functions for the Bank and receives payment
from the Bank for these services. These inter-company payments are eliminated
for the purpose of these consolidated financial statements. The Bank has two
wholly owned subsidiaries, FBC Financial Services, Corp., a brokerage and
financial services subsidiary, and FBC Burlington, Inc., an investment
subsidiary located in Nevada.
Overview
As of September 30, 1999, total Company assets were $389.0 million increasing
5.1% from $369.1 million as of December 31, 1998. Total income as of the third
quarter 1999 was $3.2 million or $2.13 per share, increasing 25.0% from $2.4
million or $1.64 per share as of the third quarter of 1998. The significant
items resulting in the above-mentioned results are discussed below.
Balance sheet analysis
Loans
As of September 30, 1999, loans outstanding were $297.1 million for an increase
of $32.3 million or 10.9% from December 31, 1998. During this nine-month period,
Residential Real Estate loans increased $1.2 million, and Commercial Real Estate
loans increased $21.3 million or 1.3% and 24.9% respectively. At September 30,
1999, Construction and Land Development loans were at $38.2 million or 12.9% of
total loans. Residential Real Estate loans were at $96.0 million or 32.3% of
total loans. Commercial loans were at $31.0 million or 10.4% of total loans, and
Commercial Real Estate loans were at $85.5 million or 28.8% of total loans.
Allowance for Loan Losses
The allowance for possible loan losses was $3.6 million or 1.20% of gross loans
on September 30, 1999, compared with $3.4 million or 1.29% of gross loans on
December 31, 1998. Net charge-offs for the nine-month period were $116 thousand
or .039% of gross loans, compared to net recoveries of $16 thousand or .005% of
gross loans for 1999. As of September 30, 1999, loans on non-accrual status
totaled $1.6 million or .55% of gross loans compared to $1.5 million or .57% of
gross loans on December 31, 1998. The non-accrual loans consisted primarily of
$1.4 million of residential real estate loans. On September 30, 1999, the ratio
of non-accrual loans to the allowance for loan losses was 44.4% compared to
43.8% on December 31, 1998.
The Bank evaluates the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses based on an
analysis of specific problem loans, as well as on an aggregate basis. Management
reviews a calculation of the allowance for loan losses on a quarterly basis and
feels that the allowance for loan losses is adequate. The allowance for loan
losses is adequate to cover probable credit losses relating to specifically
identified loans, as well as, probable credit losses inherent in the balance of
the loan portfolio. In accordance with FASB Statements 5 and 114, the allowance
provides for losses that have been incurred as of the balance sheet date. The
allowance is based on past events and current economic conditions, and does not
include the effects of expected losses on specific loans or groups of loans that
are related to future events or expected changes on economic conditions.
Management also considers reports of examinations furnished by State and Federal
banking authorities in this regard.
During the nine month period ended September 30, 1999, $248 thousand was charged
to current earnings and added to the allowance for loan losses.
Investments securities - Available for Sale
The securities available-for-sale portfolio decreased $1.2 million or 1.9% from
December 31, 1998 to September 30, 1999. The majority of the decrease came from
the maturities of Commercial Paper and Agency Issued Remics.
Deposits and Borrowed Funds
As of September 30, 1999, total deposits were $289.5 million, which is an
increase of $6.8 million or 2.3% from December 31, 1998. Demand Deposits
decreased $2.3 million or 4.8% to $47.8 million. Now accounts decreased 6.9
million or 31.0% to 22.2 million. Money Market and Savings Deposits increased
$13.2 million or 11.9% to $111.1 million. Federal Home Loan Bank increased 8.5
million or 28.3%. Securities sold under agreement to repurchase and Certificates
of Deposits increased $5.7 million or 4.1%.
Capital resources
During the nine-month period ended September 30, 1999, the Company's
stockholders' equity increased $1.5 million or 4.5%. Net income of $3.2 million
was the primary reasons for the increase in equity. Unrealized gain/loss
decreased $999 thousand to a negative $337.
In December 1990, the Federal Reserve Board's risk-based guidelines became
effective. Under these guidelines capital is measured against the Company's
subsidiary bank's risk-weighted assets. The Company's tier 1 capital (common
stockholders' equity less goodwill) to risk-weighted assets was 10.6% at
September 30, l999, well above the 4% minimum required. Total capital to
risk-adjusted assets was 11.8%, also well above the 8% minimum requirement. The
leverage ratio was at 8.5% compared to the 4% minimum requirement. According to
FDIC capital guidelines, the Company is considered to be "well capitalized."
Asset/liability management
The principal function of asset/liability management is to manage the balance
sheet mix, maturities, repricing characteristics and pricing components to
provide an adequate and stable net interest margin with an acceptable level of
risk over time and through interest rate cycles.
Interest-sensitive assets and liabilities are those that are subject to
repricing within a specific relevant time horizon. The Bank measures
interest-sensitive assets and liabilities, and their relationship with each
other at terms of immediate, quarterly intervals up to 1 year, and over 1 year.
Changes in net interest income, other than volume related, arise when interest
rates on assets reprice in a time frame or interest rate environment that is
different from the repricing period for liabilities. Changes in net interest
income also arise from changes in the mix of interest earning assets and
interest-bearing liabilities.
The Bank's strategy with respect to asset/liability management is to maximize
net interest income while limiting its exposure to a potential downward
movement. Strategy is implemented by the Bank's management, which takes action
based upon its analysis of the Bank's present positioning, its desired future
positioning, economic forecasts, and its goals. It is the Bank's desire to
maintain a cumulative GAP of positive or negative 15% of rate sensitive assets
at the one-year time frame. The current percentage is a negative 9.0% which
compares to negative 1% as of December 31, 1998.
Liquidity
The liquidity position of the Company is managed to ensure that sufficient funds
are available to meet customers' needs for loans and deposit withdrawals.
Liquidity to meet demand is provided by maintaining marketable investment
securities, Federal Funds Sold, as well as, maintaining a full line of
competitively priced deposit and short-term borrowing products. The Bank is also
a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank system, which provides the Company with
an additional source of liquidity. The Bank is authorized to borrow up to 60% of
the book value of its 1-4 family real estate mortgages secured by a security
agreement pledging the Bank's 1-4 family real estate mortgages with a carrying
value of $98.4 million. During the nine-month period of September 30, 1999, the
Company's loan to deposit ratio increased from 93.6% to 102.6%. This increase
was due to an increase in loans of $32.4 million or 10.9% while deposits
increased $6.8 million or 2.3%. The additional funding for the increase in loans
came from a decrease in cash and fed funds sold and an increase in deposits and
other borrowed funds.
While liquidity within the banking industry continues to tighten management is
unaware of any recommendations by regulatory authorities, known trends, events
or uncertainties that will have or that are reasonably likely to have a material
effect on the Company's liquidity, capital resources, or operations.
Results of operations
Net Interest Income
Net interest income is the difference between interest income and fees on loans
and interest expense, and is the largest contributing factor to net income for
the Company. All discussions of rate are on a tax-equivalent basis, which
accounts for income earned on securities that are not fully subject to federal
taxes. Net interest income for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1999,
was $11.3 million, increasing 13.3% over the 1998 level of $9.8 million. Net
interest income as a percentage of average earning assets was 4.55% as of the
third quarter 1999, versus 4.51% as of the third quarter 1998.
Total interest income increased $1.7 million as average earning assets increased
from $303.4 million to $344.3 million or 11.9%. The yields on interest earning
asset decreased from 8.49% to 8.13%.
The increase in interest income for the period ended September 30, 1999, was due
primarily to an increase in interest and fees on loans. Interest and fees on
loans increased to $17.9 million or 9.5% from $16.2. The increase in loan income
was the result of a $37.4 million or 15.5% increase in average balances
outstanding and an increase in fees collected on loans. Fees collected on loans
were $920 thousand, increasing 13.5% over 1998 fees of $796 thousand.
Residential real estate loans sold on the secondary market were the primary
reason for the increase in fees
Total interest expense increased $178 thousand. This increase was due to an
increase in average interest bearing deposits of $21 million or 8.8% and an
increase in average Federal Home Loan Borrowings of $6.9 million or 32.7%. The
cost of all interest bearing liabilities decreased from 4.75% to 4.27%.
Provision for loan losses
The Bank has established the allowance for loan losses to reduce the gross level
of loans outstanding by an estimate of uncollectible loans. As loans are deemed
uncollectible, they are charged against the allowance. A provision for loan
losses is expensed against current income on a monthly basis. This provision
acts to replenish the allowance for loan losses to accommodate charge-offs and
growth in the loan portfolio, thereby maintaining the allowance at an adequate
level.
During the period ended September 30, 1999, $248 thousand was charged to current
earnings and added to the allowance for loan losses.
Non-interest income
Non-interest income increased $179 thousand or 8.9% from 1998. This increase is
due primarily to increased income from service charges on deposit accounts,
which increased $149 thousand or 16.7%.
Non-interest expense
Non-interest expense increased from $8.0 million to $8.5 million an increase of
$529 thousand or 6.2%. Salaries and benefits increased $253 thousand or 5.4%,
occupancy expense increased $77 thousand or 12.7%, equipment expense increased
$120 thousand or 12.4%, and computer services increased $121 thousand or 26.7%.
Year 2000 Assessment
The Company utilizes and is dependent upon data processing systems and software
to conduct its business. The data processing systems and software include those
developed and maintained by the Company's third-party data processing vendor and
purchased software which is run on personal computer networks. Any hardware and
software that recognize the date "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000
could result in errors or system failures.
The Board of Directors oversees the Company's Year 2000 efforts and senior
management reports to the Board on at least a quarterly basis the Company's Year
2000 progress. Early in 1998, the Company completed an assessment and work plan
to assure that all hardware and software utilized by the Company will function
properly in the year 2000. The Company and its primary vendors have been testing
their computer systems to determine their ability to handle the Year 2000 issue.
To date, the Company and its vendors have identified, renovated and installed
compliant software.
The Company has developed contingency plans for all mission critical functions.
These contingency plans are in place. However, we will continue to revise these
plans as vendors certify Year 2000 compliance throughout 1999.
Additionally, phone systems, alarms, elevators, heating and cooling systems and
other computer-controlled mechanical devices on which the Company relies have
been evaluated and tested. Those found not compliant have been modified or
replaced with a compliant product.
Costs associated with the Year 2000 project include internal staff time as well
as consulting, equipment upgrade and software enhancement expenses. At the
present time, management estimates equipment and software costs required to make
its current operation year 2000 compliant to be $17,000. The Year 2000 project
costs, which management continuously reviews, could vary significantly based
upon the results of testing and other factors.
Management is also aware of the potential adverse impact failures by borrowers
to adequately address their Year 2000 problems could have on the Company. To
raise awareness to the Year 2000 risks, substantially all key customers have
been contacted regarding this issue. Account officers continually assess
progress made by their key customers and increased provisions to the allowance
for loan and lease losses will reflect any additional exposure to the Company.

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 period. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.
4. Cash and cash equivalents:
For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents are defined as
those amounts included in the balance sheet caption "cash and due from banks."
The subsidiary Bank maintains amounts due from banks which, at times, may exceed
federally insured limits. The subsidiary Bank has not experienced any losses in
such accounts.
5. Available for sale securities:
Securities classified as available for sale are those debt securities that the
subsidiary Bank intends to hold for an indefinite period of time, but not
necessarily to maturity. Any decision to sell a security classified as available
for sale would be based on various factors, including significant movements in
interest rates, changes in the maturity mix of the subsidiary Bank's assets and
liabilities, liquidity needs, regulatory capital consideration, and other
similar factors. Securities classified as available for sale are carried at fair
value. Unrealized gains or losses are reported as increases or decreases in
comprehensive income, net of the related deferred tax effect. Realized gains or
losses, determined on the basis of the cost of specific securities sold, are
included in earnings.
6. Loans:
Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable
future or until maturity or payoff are reported at the amount of unpaid
principal, reduced by the allowance for loan losses. Interest on loans is
calculated by using the simple interest method on daily balances of the
principal amount outstanding. The accrual of interest income on impaired loans
is discontinued when, in the opinion of management, there is reasonable doubt as
to the borrower's ability to meet payment of interest or principal when they
become due. When interest accrual is discontinued, all unpaid accrued interest
is reversed. Cash collections on impaired loans are credited to the loan
receivable balance, and no interest income is recognized on those loans until
the principal balance is current. Accrual of interest is generally resumed when
the customer is current on all principal and interest payments and has been
paying on a timely basis for a period of time.
7. Mortgage loans held for sale:
Mortgage loans originated and intended for sale in the secondary market are
carried at the lower of cost or estimated market value in the aggregate. Net
unrealized losses are recognized through a valuation allowance by charges to
income. All sales are made without recourse.
8. Allowance for loan loses:
The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses
charged to expense. Loans are charged against the allowance for loan losses when
management believes that the collectibility of the principal is unlikely. The
allowance for loan losses is adequate to cover probable credit losses relating
to specifically identified loans, as well as probable credit losses inherent in
the balance of the loan portfolio. In accordance with FASB Statements 5 and 114,
the allowance is provided for losses that have been incurred as of the balance
sheet date. The allowance is based on past events and current economic
conditions, and does not include the effects of expected losses on specific
loans or groups of loans that are related to future events or expected changes
in economic conditions. While management uses the best information available to
make its evaluation, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary if
there are significant changes in economic conditions. Impaired loans are
measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at
the loan's effective interest rate or, as a practical expedient, at the loan's
observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is
collateral dependent. A loan is impaired when it is probable the creditor will
be unable to collect all contractual principal and interest payments due in
accordance with the terms of the loan agreement.
In addition, various regulatory agencies periodically review the allowance for
loan losses. These agencies may require the bank to make additions to the
allowance for loan losses based on their judgments of collectibility based on
information available to them at the time of their examination.
9. Office buildings and equipment:
Depreciable assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Provisions
for depreciation are computed on straight-line and accelerated methods over the
estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from 15 to 50 years for
buildings and 3 to 15 years for equipment.
10. Profit-sharing plan:
The Company has established a trusteed contributory 401(k) profit-sharing plan
for qualified employees. The Company's policy is to fund contributions as
accrued.
11. Other real estate owned:
Other real estate owned, acquired through partial or total satisfaction of loans
is carried at the lower of cost or fair value less cost to sell. At the date of
acquisition losses are charged to the allowance for loan losses. Revenue and
expenses from operations and changes in the valuation allowance are included in
loss on foreclosed real estate.
12. Income taxes:
The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return and individual
subsidiary state income tax returns. Accordingly, amounts equal to tax benefits
of those companies having taxable federal losses or credits are reimbursed by
the other companies that incur federal tax liabilities.
Amounts provided for income tax expense are based on income reported for
financial statement purposes and do not necessarily represent amounts currently
payable under tax laws. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed
annually for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets
and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future
based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the
differences are expected to affect taxable income. As changes in tax laws or
rates are enacted, deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted through the
provision for income taxes. The differences relate principally to the reserve
for loan losses, nonaccrual loan income, deferred compensation and pension,
fixed assets and unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities.
Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax
assets to the amount expected to be realized.
13. Off-balance-sheet financial instruments:
In the ordinary course of business the subsidiary Bank has entered into
off-balance-sheet financial instruments consisting of commitments to extend
credit, commitments under credit card arrangements, commercial letters of credit
and standby letters of credit. Such financial instruments are recorded in the
financial statements when they are funded or related fees are incurred or
received.
14. Trust assets and fees:
Property held for customers in fiduciary or agency capacities is not included in
the accompanying balance sheet, since such items are not assets of the Company.
In accordance with established industry practice, income from trust fees is
reported on the cash basis. Reporting of trust fees on an accrual basis would
have no material effect on reported income.
15. Earnings per share:
Earnings per share are computed based upon the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding during each year. In the computation of diluted earnings per
share, all dilutive stock options are assumed to be exercised at the beginning
of each year and the proceeds are used to purchase shares of the Company's
common stock at the average market price during the year.
16. Fair value of financial instruments:
Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 107, "Disclosures About Fair
Value of Financial Instruments", requires disclosure of fair value information
about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, for
which it is practicable to estimate that value. In cases where quoted market
prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value
or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by
the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash
flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated
by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized
in immediate settlement of the instrument. Statement No. 107 excludes certain
financial instruments from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the
aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of
the Company.
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the
fair value of its financial instruments:
Carrying amounts approximate fair values for the following instruments:
Cash and due from banks
Federal funds sold
Interest-bearing deposits in banks
Accrued interest receivable
Accrued interest payable
Variable rate loans that reprice frequently where no
significant change in credit risk has occurred
Demand deposits
Variable rate money market accounts
Variable rate certificates of deposit
Available for sale securities
Discounted cash flows:
Using interest rates currently being offered on instruments with
similar terms and with similar credit quality:
All loans except variable rate loans described above
Fixed rate certificates of deposit
Other borrowings
Quoted fees currently being charged for similar instruments:
Taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the
counterparties' credit standing:
Off-balance-sheet instruments:
Guarantees
Letters of credit
Lending commitments
Since the majority of the Company's off-balance-sheet instruments consist of
nonfee-producing, variable rate commitments, the Company had determined it does
not have a distinguishable fair value.
