CSB Financial Group, Inc. Notes to CONSOLIDATED Financial Statements (in thousands, except per share data) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note 1. Background Information On October 5, 1995, CSB Financial Group, Inc. (the "Company") acquired all of the outstanding shares of Centralia Savings Bank (the "Bank") upon the Bank's conversion from a state chartered mutual savings bank to a state chartered capital stock savings bank. Centralia Savings Bank is located in Marion County, Illinois. The Company purchased 100% of the outstanding capital stock of the Bank using 50% of the net proceeds from the Company's initial stock offering which was completed on October 5, 1995. The Company sold 1,035,000 shares of $0.01 par value common stock at a price of $8 per share, including 82,800 shares purchased by the Bank's Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP"). The ESOP shares were acquired by the Bank with proceeds from a Company loan totaling $662,400. The gross proceeds of the offering were $8,280,000. After reducing gross proceeds for conversion costs of $696,000, net proceeds totaled $7,584,000. The Company's stock was traded on the NASDAQ Small Caps market under the symbol "CSBF" until December 31, 1998, at which time the Company transferred the quotation of its common stock to the OTC Bulletin Board under the same symbol. The acquisition of the Bank by the Company was accounted for as a "pooling of interests" under generally accepted accounting principles. The application of the pooling of interests method records the assets and liabilities of the merged entities on a historical cost basis with no goodwill or other intangible assets being recorded. Note 2. Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CSB Financial Group, Inc., its wholly owned subsidiary, Centralia Savings Bank, the Bank, and the Bank's wholly-owned subsidiary, Centralia SLA. Centralia SLA, Inc.'s principal business activity is to provide insurance services. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Bank's annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended September 30, 1999. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-QSB and, therefore, do not include information or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. In the opinion of management of the Company, the unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company at March 31, 2000, the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, and the results of operations and cash flows for the six months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999. All adjustments to the financial statements were normal and recurring in nature. Operating results for the six months ended March 31, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending September 30, 2000. Note 3. Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is computed as net income available to common stockholders divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding and vested shares of the Management Recognition Plan. Diluted EPS is computed as net income available to common stockholders divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding, common stock equivalents, and shares awarded under the Management Recognition Plan weighted to reflect the portion of the period the shares were outstanding. The following reflects earnings per share calculations for basic and diluted methods: For the Six Months Ended March 31, ------------------ 2000 1999 ------------------ Net income available to common shareholders ................. $ 139 $ 129 Basic diluted potential common shares: Weighted average shares outstanding ...................... 713,005 710,968 Management recognition plan shares vested ................ 9,936 6,210 ------------------ Basic average shares outstanding ............................ 722,941 717,178 ------------------ Diluted potential common shares: Management recognition plan shares granted, but not vested 7,452 11,178 Stock option equivalents ................................. 16,794 - - ------------------ Diluted average shares outstanding .......................... 747,187 728,356 ------------------ Basic earnings per share .................................... $ 0.19 $ 0.18 ================== Diluted earnings per share .................................. $ 0.19 $ 0.18 ================== For The Three Months Ended March 31, ------------------- 2000 1999 ------------------- Net income available to common shareholders ................. $ 55 $ 81 Basic diluted potential common shares: Weighted average shares outstanding ...................... 713,313 711,139 Management recognition plan shares vested ................ 9,936 6,210 ------------------- Basic weighted average shares outstanding ................... 723,249 717,349 ------------------- Diluted potential common shares: Management recognition plan shares granted, but not vested 7,452 11,178 Stock option equivalents ................................. 20,572 - - ------------------- Diluted average shares outstanding .......................... 751,273 728,527 =================== Basic earnings per share .................................... $ 0.08 $ 0.11 =================== Diluted earnings per share .................................. $ 0.07 $ 0.11 =================== Note 4. Employee Stock Ownership Plan The ESOP acquired 82,800 shares of the Company's stock for future allocation to employees as part of the mutual to stock conversion process. The purchase was funded with a loan from the Company. Shares are allocated to all eligible employees as the debt is repaid based on a prorata share of total eligible compensation. Employees 21 or older with at least 1,000 hours of service in a twelve month period are eligible to participate. Benefits will vest over a five year period and in full after five years of qualified service. As shares are committed to be released from unallocated shares, the Bank recognizes compensation expense equal to the current market price of the shares, and the shares become outstanding for purposes of calculating earnings per share. The Bank recognized compensation expense for the ESOP of $15 and $13 for the six months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Dividends received, if any, by the ESOP on unallocated shares will be used for debt service. In July 1997, the Company repurchased 41,400 shares of common stock from the ESOP. The ESOP used the proceeds received from the repurchase to reduce outstanding debt to the Company. The balance in unearned ESOP shares was reduced by the cost of the shares sold to the Company. As of March 31, 2000 and September 30, 1999, the ESOP held 18,785 and 20,021, respectively, of non-committed shares with a fair value of $274 and $195, respectively. Note 5. Stock Option Plan The Company has a stock option plan (SOP) which was established in 1996 with 103,500 shares of common stock. The options are granted by a Committee, comprised of directors, to key employees and directors based on their services. The exercise price of options granted must be at least equal to the fair market value of the common stock on the date the option is granted. The options granted under the plan become exercisable at a rate of 20 percent per year commencing one year after the grant date and 20 percent on each anniversary date for the following four years. As of March 31, 2000, 61,750 options had been granted. A Nonqualified Stock Option Plan (SOP) was established in 1997 with 103,500 shares of common stock. The options are granted by a committee, comprised of directors, to key employees and directors based on their services. The exercise price of the option granted must be at least equal to the fair market value of the common stock on the date the option is granted. The terms of the options and the exercise schedule are at the discretion of the committee and option agreements need not be identical. As of March 31, 2000, no options had been granted. Note 6. Management Recognition Plan The Management Recognition Plan ("MRP") was approved October 10, 1996 and amended on January 9, 1997. Directors, officers, and employees become vested in the shares of common stock awarded to them under the MRP at a rate of 20% per year, commencing one year after the grant date, and 20% on the anniversary date thereof for the following four years. As of March 31, 2000, 17,388 shares have been awarded and remain outstanding to officers, directors, and employees. MRP compensation expense was $18 for the six months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999. Compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period for shares awarded under the plan. Note 7. Reclassifications Certain reclassifications have been made to the balances for the period ending March 31, 1999, with no effect on net income, to be consistent with the classifications adopted for March 31, 2000. Note 8. New Accounting Standards Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" (FAS 133) establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities. It requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those instruments at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative depends on the intended use of the derivative and the resulting designation. This Statement applies to all entities. FAS 133 is effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. Earlier application is encouraged. The Statement is not to be applied retroactively to financial statements of prior periods. In June 1999, Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 137 was issued to extend the effective date by one year to all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company does not believe the adoption of FAS 133, as amended by FAS 137, will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. Accounting for Mortgage-Backed Securities Retained after the Securitization of Mortgage Loans Held for Sale by a Mortgage Banking Enterprise Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 134, "Accounting for Mortgage-Backed Securities Retained after the Securitization of Mortgage Loans Held for Sale by a Mortgage Banking Enterprise" (FAS 134) changes the way mortgage banking firms account for certain securities and other interests they retain after securitizing mortgage loans that were held for sale. The Statement is effective for financial statements for the first fiscal quarter beginning after December 15, 1998. The Company does not securitize mortgages and is not a Mortgage Banking Enterprise and therefore, FAS 134 will not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements. CSB Financial Group, Inc. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONs ( In thousands, except per share data) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- General The principal assets of the Company are its investment in the Bank's common stock. The Company's principal revenue source is interest and dividends on its investments. The principal business of the Bank consists of attracting deposits from the general public and using these funds to originate mortgage loans secured by one- to four-family residences located primarily in Centralia, Illinois and surrounding areas. The Bank engages in various forms of consumer and commercial lending and invests in mortgage-backed U.S. Government and federal agency securities, local municipal issues, and interest-bearing deposits. The Bank's profitability depends primarily on its net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income it earns on its loans and investment portfolio and its cost of funds, which consists mainly of interest paid on deposits. Net interest income is affected by the relative amounts of interest-earning assets, interest-bearing liabilities, and the interest rates earned or paid on these balances. The Company's profitability is also affected by the level of noninterest income and expense. Noninterest income consists primarily of late charges and other fees. Noninterest expense consists of salaries and benefits, occupancy related expenses, deposit insurance premiums paid to the SAIF, and other operating expenses. The operations of the Company are significantly influenced by general economic conditions and related monetary and fiscal policies of financial institutions' regulatory agencies. Deposit flows and the cost of funds are influenced by interest rates on competing investments and general market rates of interest. Lending activities are affected by the demand for financing real estate and other types of loans, which in turn is affected by the interest rates at which such financing may be offered and other factors affecting loan demand and the availability of funds. Business Strategy The Company's business strategy is to operate the bank as a well capitalized, profitable and independent community savings bank dedicated to financing home ownership and consumer needs in its primary market area. The Company has implemented this strategy by: (1) closely monitoring the needs of customers and providing quality service; (2) emphasizing consumer-oriented banking by originating construction and permanent loans on residential and commercial real estate and consumer loans, and by offering other financial services and products; (3) improving and maintaining high asset quality; (4) maintaining capital in excess of regulatory requirements; and (5) managing interest rate risk by emphasizing the origination of loans with adjustable rates or shorter terms and investments in short-term and liquid investments. The Company has adopted various new business strategies intended to increase its presence in its primary market area, thereby increasing its lending activities and sources of income. Merger On January 26, 2000, the Company signed a definitive agreement with Midland States Bancorp, Inc. Under the terms of the agreement, Midland States Bancorp, Inc. has agreed to purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of CSB Financial Group, Inc. for an aggregate cash consideration of $11.7 million, or $16.00 per share, subject to certain adjustments. This transaction is expected to be completed by July 31, 2000. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company's primary sources of funds consists of deposits, repayment and prepayment of loans, maturities of investments and interest-bearing deposits. Scheduled repayments of loans and mortgage-backed securities and maturities of investment securities are predictable, influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions, and competition. The Company uses its liquidity resources principally to fund existing and future loan commitments, to fund maturing certificates of deposit and demand deposit withdrawals, to invest in other interest-earning assets, to maintain liquidity, and to meet operating expenses. Management believes that loan repayments and other sources of funds will be adequate to meet the Company's liquidity needs for the immediate future. A portion of the Company's liquidity consists of cash and cash equivalents, which include investments in highly liquid, short-term deposits. The level of these assets is dependent on the Company's operating, investing, lending, and financing activities during any given period. At March 31, 2000 and September 30, 1999, cash and cash equivalents totaled $1,444 million and $871, respectively. The increase in cash and cash equivalents is due to an increase in deposits and the sale of investment securities to repay borrowings and fund loan growth. Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of business management. If the Company requires funds beyond its ability to generate them internally, the Company may borrow additional funds from the FHLB. At March 31, 2000, the Company had no outstanding advances from the FHLB. At March 31, 2000, the Company had $1.8 million of outstanding commitments on revolving lines of credit. Regulatory Capital Federally insured savings associations are required to maintain a minimum level of regulatory capital. The Company and its subsidiary have capital ratios which substantially exceed all regulatory requirements. The Company's capital ratios are shown below. March 31, September 30, Minimum 2000 1999 Requirements -------------------------------------- Total capital to risk weighted assets 39.1% 43.9% 8.0% Tier I capital to risk weighted assets 38.2% 42.9% 4.0% Tier I capital to average assets 20.3% 20.3% 4.0% Financial Condition Total assets increased $140 to $49,060 at March 31, 2000 from $48,920 at September 30, 1999. The increase resulted from an increase of $573 in cash and cash equivalents due to sales, calls and maturities of investments and a net increase in deposit accounts of $1,675, offset by an increase in loans of $970 and repayment of FHLB Advances of $1,400. Gross loans have increased $968 from $29,142 at September 30, 1999 to $30,110 at March 31, 2000. The growth in the loan portfolio is comprised primarily of commercial lending. Securities decreased $1,320 since September 30, 1999. The decrease is due to maturities of U.S. Treasury securities, sale of mortgage backed securities and an overall decline in market values. All securities are held as available for sale. Results of Operations Three months ended March 31, 2000 compared to three months ended March 31, 1999 Net Income - The Company's net income for the three months ended March 31, 2000 was $55 compared to $81 for the three months ended March 31, 1999. The principal cause of the decrease in net income resulted from an increase in professional fees related to the pending sale of the Company. This decrease was mitigated by a modest increase in net interest margin and a slight reduction of other noninterest expense. Interest Income - Interest income increased for the three months ended March 31, 2000 by $30 to $848 from $818 for the three months ended March 31, 1999. The increase is due to consistent yields and an increase in the average balance of interest earning assets for the respective periods. Interest Expense - Interest expense increased for the three months ended March 31, 2000 by $20 to $412 from $392 for the three months ended March 31, 1999. The increase in interest expense is solely attributed to interest expense on borrowed funds that were not necessary in 1999. Net Interest Income - Net interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2000 increased by $10 to $436 from $426 for the three months ended March 31, 1999. The increase is attributable to the increase in the Company's average balance of loans for the respective period. Noninterest Expense - Noninterest expense increased for the three months ended March 31, 2000 by $55 to $380 from $325 for the three months ended March 31, 1999. Compensation cost increased for the quarter by $10 and audit, legal and other professional costs increased $63. These increases were partially offset by a $16 decrease in data processing expenses and a $10 decrease in other noninterest expense. Six months ended March 31, 2000 compared to six months ended March 31, 1999 Net Income -The Company's net income for the six months ended March 31, 2000 was $139 compared to $129 for the six months ended March 31, 1999. The increase is mainly attributable to an increase in net interest income, offset by an increase in noninterest expenses. Interest Income - Interest income increased $70 from $1,622 to $1,692 or by 4.32%, during the six months ended March 31, 2000 compared to the respective period of 1999. This increase resulted from an increase in the average balance of interest earning assets and a consistent yield. Interest Expense - Interest expense increased $21 or 2.63%, to $818 for the six months ended March 31, 2000 from $797 for the same period in 1999. The increase in interest expense on borrowings of $36 was offset by a decrease in interest expense on deposits of $15 due to decreasing cost of funds which is consistent with market conditions. Net Interest Income - Net interest income for the six months ended March 31, 2000 was $874 compared to $825 for the six months ended March 31, 1999. The increase is attributable to an increase in loans and deposits during the period combined with a slight increase in the net interest margin. Noninterest Expense - Noninterest expense increased for the six months ended March 31, 2000 by $95 to $765 from $670 for the six months ended March 31, 1999. Audit, legal and other professional costs increased $76 due to the pending merger. In addition, compensation costs increased $10 and data processing costs increased $11. These increases were partially offset by a $7 decrease in other noninterest expense. Provision for Loan Losses - The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses based on management's evaluation of the risk inherent in its loan portfolio and the general economy. Such evaluation considers numerous factors including, general economic conditions, loan portfolio composition, prior loss experience, the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral and other factors that warrant recognition in providing for an adequate loan loss allowance. During the six months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, the provision for loan losses was $17 and $36, respectively. Allowance for Loan Losses - The allowance for loan losses was $220 or .73% of loans receivable at March 31, 2000, compared to $222, or .76% of loans receivable at September 30, 1999. The level of nonperforming loans was .40% of total loans at March 31, 2000 compared to .70% as of September 30, 1999. Based on the relationship of the allowance for loan losses to total loans and classified assets and the focus on identifying and resolving problem loan situations, management believes the allowance for loan losses is adequate. Net charge-offs amounted to $19 during the first six months of fiscal year 2000, compared to net charge-offs of $11 during the first six months of fiscal year 1999. 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 is an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb losses on existing loans that may become uncollectible, based on evaluation of the collectibility of loans and prior loss experience. The evaluation also takes into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, overall portfolio quality, review of specific problem loans and current economic conditions that may affect the borrowers' ability to pay. 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. In addition, regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Bank's allowance for loan losses, and may require the Bank to make additions to the allowance based on their judgment about information available to them at the time of their examinations. Loans are considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will not be able to collect all amounts due. The portion of the allowance for loan losses applicable to impaired loans has been computed based on the present value of the estimated future cash flows of interest and principal discounted at the loan's effective interest rate or on the fair value of the collateral for collateral dependent loans. The entire change in present value of expected cash flows of impaired loans or of collateral value is reported as bad debt expense in the same manner in which impairment initially was recognized or as a reduction in the amount of bad debt expense that otherwise would be reported. As of March 31, 2000 and September 30, 1999, management had not identified any loans as impaired. Nonperforming Assets At March 31, 2000, the Bank had $121, of nonperforming assets, representing .25% of total assets. On September 30, 1999, the Bank had $205 of nonperforming assets, representing .42% of total assets. Impact on Inflation and Changing Prices The unaudited consolidated financial statements and related data presented herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, which require the measurement of financial position and results of operations in terms of historical dollars without considering changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time because of inflation. Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all of the assets and liabilities of the Company are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a more significant impact on the Company's performance than the effects of general levels of inflation. Interest rates do not necessarily move in the same direction or in the same magnitude as the prices of goods and services. PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 1.
