IOWA FIRST BANCSHARES CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 1. Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies Nature of business: Iowa First Bancshares Corp. (the "Company") is a bank holding company headquartered in Muscatine, Iowa. The Company owns the outstanding stock of two national banks, First National Bank of Muscatine (Muscatine) and First National Bank in Fairfield (Fairfield). First National Bank of Muscatine has a total of five locations in Muscatine, Iowa. First National Bank in Fairfield has two locations in Fairfield, Iowa. Each bank is engaged in the general commercial banking business and provides full service banking to individuals and businesses, including checking, savings and other deposit accounts, commercial loans, consumer loans, real estate loans, safe deposit facilities, transmitting of funds, trust services, and such other banking services as are usual and customary for commercial banks. Significant accounting policies: Accounting Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount 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. A significant estimate which is particularly susceptible to change in a short period of time relates to the determination of the allowance for loan losses. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Principles of consolidation: The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, First National Bank of Muscatine and First National Bank in Fairfield (Banks). All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The unaudited interim financial statements presented reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Presentation of cash flows: For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and due from banks includes cash on-hand, amounts due from banks, and cash items in process of clearing. Cash flows from federal funds sold and other overnight investments, loans, deposits, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, and treasury tax and loan open note are reported net. Investment securities available for sale: Securities available for sale are accounted for at fair value and the unrealized holding gains or losses are presented as a separate component of stockholders' equity, net of their deferred income tax effect. Realized gains or losses, determined using the specific-identification method, are included in earnings. Declines in the fair value of individual available-for-sale securities below their cost that are other than temporary would result in write-downs of the individual securities to their fair value. The related write-downs would be included in earnings as realized losses. Premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income using the interest method over the period to maturity. There were no investments held to maturity or for trading purposes at quarter-end. Loans: Loans are stated at the amount of unpaid principal, reduced by unearned discount and an allowance for loan losses. The Banks record impaired loans at the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, or as an 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. The Banks recognize interest income on impaired loans on a cash basis. The allowance for loan losses is maintained at the level considered adequate by management of the Banks to provide for losses that can be reasonably anticipated. The allowance is increased by provisions charged to operating expense and reduced by net charge-offs. In determining the adequacy of the allowance balance, the Banks make continuous credit reviews of the loan portfolio and related off-balance sheet commitments, consider current economic conditions, historical loan loss experience, review of specific problem loans and other factors. Unearned interest on discounted loans is amortized to income over the life of the loans using the interest method. For all other loans, interest is accrued daily on the outstanding balances. Accrual of interest is discontinued on a loan when management believes, after considering collection efforts and other factors, that the borrower's financial condition is such that collection of interest is doubtful. Generally this occurs when the collection of interest or principal has become 90 days past due. Direct loan and lease origination fees and costs are generally being deferred and the net amount amortized as an adjustment of the related loan's yield. The Banks generally amortize these amounts over the contractual life. Commitment fees based upon a percentage of customers' unused lines of credit and fees related to standby letters of credit are not significant. Bank premises and equipment: Bank premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed primarily by the straight-line method based on estimated useful lives. Other assets: Other real estate (ORE), which is included in other assets, represents properties acquired through foreclosure, in-substance foreclosure or other proceedings. ORE is recorded at the lower of the amount of the loan or fair market value of the properties. Any write-down to fair market value at the time of transfer to ORE is charged to the allowance for loan losses. Property is evaluated regularly to ensure that the recorded amount is supported by the current fair market value. Subsequent write-downs to fair value are charged to earnings. Income taxes: The Company files its tax return on a consolidated basis with its subsidiary banks. The entities follow the direct reimbursement method of accounting for income taxes under which income taxes or credits which result from the subsidiary banks' inclusion in the consolidated tax return are paid to or received from the parent company. Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and deferred liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. Trust assets: Trust assets (other than cash deposits) held by the Banks in fiduciary or agency capacities for its customers are not included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets since such items are not assets of the Banks. Fair value of financial instruments: FAS No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Market 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. Interim condensed financial statements are not required to include the disclosures outlined by FAS 107 and, accordingly, are not included herein. Note 2. Capital Stock and Earnings Per Share Common shares and preferred stock authorized total 6,000,000 shares and 500,000 shares, respectively. Basic earnings per share is arrived at by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the respective period. Diluted earnings per share is arrived at by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding for the respective period. The average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the second quarter of 2000 and 1999 were 1,530,258 and 1,532,424, respectively. The average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the first six months of 2000 and 1999 were 1,533,398 and 1,532,424, respectively. There were no common stock equivalents in 2000 or 1999. IOWA FIRST BANCSHARES CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition The Company's total assets at June 30, 2000, were $371,469,000. Muscatine's total assets were $276,738,000 which reflects a $4,338,000 (1.6%) increase from December 31, 1999, total assets. Fairfield's total assets were $94,183,000 at June 30, 2000, which is a decrease of $3,465,000 (3.5%) when compared to December 31, 1999, total assets. Total consolidated assets increased by 0.1% during the first six months of 2000. Net loans totaled 275,245,000 at June 30, 2000. Net loans at Muscatine increased by $7,294,000 (3.7%) during the first six months. Net loans increased at Fairfield by $959,000 (1.4%) during the first six months. Consolidated net loans increased by $8,253,000 (3.1%) year-to-date. Total available for sale securities increased $5,581,000 during the first six months of 2000 while federal funds sold decreased $9.9 million. The Banks emphasize purchase of securities with maturities of five years and less as such purchases offer reasonable yields with little credit risk as well as limited interest rate risk. Additionally, selected securities with longer maturities have been purchased in order to enhance overall portfolio yield without significantly increasing risk. At June 30, 2000, less than 40% of investment securities mature in more than five years and less than 15% mature in more than ten years. One security has been sold during the year with proceeds totaling $18,000. A gain of $8,000 was recognized on this sale. Total deposits at June 30, 2000, were $263,401,000. Deposits at Muscatine decreased $2,670,000 (1.4%) from the prior year end. Fairfield's total deposits decreased $3,503,000 (4.4%) during the same period. This represents a combined deposit decrease of 2.3% for the Company during the first six months of 2000. Additionally, securities sold under agreements to repurchase decreased $1,150,000 and advances borrowed from the Federal Home Loan Bank increased $7,042,000 to total $71.7 million at quarter end. Results of Operations Consolidated net income was $1,016,000, or $.66 per share, for the second quarter of 2000. This was $141,000 or 16.1% more than the same period last year. For the first six months, net income totaled $1,900,000 or $1.24 per share compared to $1,684,000 or $1.10 per share last year. Net interest income grew from the second quarter of 1999 to the second quarter of 2000 by $185,000 (6.6%), other income increased over the same period by $74,000 (15.1%), and operating expenses increased $22,000 or only 1.2%. For the six month period ended June 30, 2000 compared to the same six month period in 1999, net interest margin increased $320,000 (5.8%), other income increased $135,000 (14.3%), and operating expenses rose $133,000 or only 3.4%. The Company has been able to expand net interest income, as compared to the prior year by actively managing asset quality, growth of the loan portfolio, and rates paid on assets and liabilities. Management has expressed concern for several quarters, however, as to the ability to continue increasing net interest income each successive quarter. The increased usage of wholesale funding sources, while mitigating intermediate and long-term interest rate risk, increases interest expense. The interest expense associated with the debt incurred to purchase treasury shares also adds pressure to the net interest income. Finally, the intense competition for all types of loans and deposits does not afford the Company much pricing power when dealing with customers. Provisions for loan losses were $117,000 and $159,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000. This was $7,000 less than the six month period ended June 30,1999. Net loan charge-offs totaled $61,000 during the first six months of 2000. This represents only 0.02% of quarter-end net loans. Nonaccrual loans totaled $590,000 at June 30, 2000. Other real estate owned totaled $366,000, and loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing totaled $295,000. The reserve for loan losses of $3,190,000 represents 1.2% of net loans and 255% of total nonaccrual loans, other real estate owned, and loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing. The efficiency ratio, defined as noninterest expense as a percent of net interest income plus noninterest income, was 57.8% for the first six months of 2000 compared to 59.7% for all of 1999. A lower efficiency ratio signifies a more efficiently operated organization. Interest Rate Sensitivity The Company manages its balance sheet to minimize the impact of interest rate movements on its earnings. The term "rate sensitive" refers to those assets and liabilities which are "sensitive" to fluctuations in rates and yields. When interest rates move, earnings may be affected in many ways. Interest rates on assets and liabilities may change at different times or by different amounts. Maintaining a proper balance between rate sensitive earning assets and rate sensitive liabilities is the principal function of asset and liability management of a banking organization. A positive repricing gap for a given period exists when total interest-earning assets exceed total interest-bearing liabilities and a negative gap exists when total interest-bearing liabilities are in excess of interest-earning assets. Generally a positive repricing gap will result in increased net interest income in a rising rate environment and decreased net interest income in a falling rate environment. A negative repricing gap tends to produce increased net interest income in a falling rate environment and decreased net interest income in a rising rate environment. At June 30, 2000, rate sensitive liabilities exceeded rate sensitive assets within a one year maturity range and, thus, the Company is theoretically positioned to benefit from a decline in interest rates within the next year. The Company's repricing gap position is useful for measuring general relative risk levels. However, even with perfectly matched repricing of assets and liabilities, interest rate risk cannot be avoided entirely. Interest rate risk remains in the form of prepayment risk of assets and liabilities, timing lags in adjusting certain assets and liabilities that have varying sensitivities to market interest rates, and basis risk. Basis risk refers to the possibility that the repricing behavior of variable-rate assets could differ from the repricing characteristics of liabilities which reprice in the same time period. Even though these assets are match-funded, the spread between asset yields and funding costs could change. Because the repricing gap position does not capture these risks, Management utilizes simulation modeling to measure and manage the rate sensitivity exposure of earnings. The Company's simulation model provides a projection of the effect on net interest income of various interest rate scenarios and balance sheet strategies. Liquidity For banks, liquidity represents ability to meet both loan commitments and deposit withdrawals. Factors which influence the need for liquidity are varied, but include general economic conditions, asset/liability mix, bank reputation, future FDIC funding needs, changes in regulatory environment, and credit standing. Assets which provide liquidity consist principally of loans, cash and due from banks, investment securities, and short-term investments such as federal funds. Maturities of securities held for investment purposes and loan payments provide a constant flow of funds available for cash needs. Additionally, liquidity can be gained by the sale of loans or securities prior to maturity if such assets had previously been designated as available for sale. Interest rates, relative to the rate paid by the security or loan sold, along with the maturity of the security or loan, are the major determinates of the price which can be realized upon sale. The subsidiary banks do not have brokered deposits. The stability of the Company's funding, and thus its ability to manage liquidity, is greatly enhanced by its consumer deposit base. Consumer deposits tend to be small in size, diversified across a large base of individuals, and are government insured to the extent permitted by law. Total deposits at June 30, 2000, were $263,401,000 or 71% of total liabilities and equity. Securities available for sale with a cost totaling $69,584,000 at quarter-end included net unrealized losses of $1,053,000. These securities may be sold in whole or in part to increase liquid assets, reposition the investment portfolio, or for other purposes as defined by Management. Capital Retained earnings increased $695,000 during the three months, and $1,257,000 during the six months, ended June 30, 2000. The Company has repurchased during the first six months of the year 11,860 shares of its common stock for a total cost of $272,000. Federal regulatory agencies have adopted various capital standards for financial institutions, including risk-based capital standards. The primary objectives of the risk-based capital framework are to provide a more consistent system for comparing capital positions of financial institutions and to take into account the different inherent risks among financial institutions' assets and off-balance-sheet items. Risk-based capital standards have been supplemented with requirements for a minimum Tier 1 capital to assets ratio (leverage ratio). In addition, regulatory agencies consider the published capital levels as minimum levels and may require a Financial Institution to maintain capital at higher levels. A comparison of the Company's capital as of June 30, 2000 with the requirements to be considered adequately capitalized is presented below. For Capital Actual Adequacy Purposes - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tier 1 risk-based capital 8.53% 4.00% Total risk-based capital 9.75% 8.00% Tier 1 leverage ratio 6.10% 4.00% Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices The 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 operating results in terms of historical dollars without considering changes in the relative purchasing power of money over time due to inflation. Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all of the assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a more significant impact on a financial institution'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 price of goods and services. In the current interest rate environment, liquidity and the maturity structure of the Company's assets and liabilities are critical to the maintenance of acceptable performance levels. Trends, Events or Uncertainties Officers and Directors of the Company and its subsidiaries have had, and may have in the future, banking transactions in the ordinary course of business of the Company's subsidiaries. All such transactions are on substantially the same terms, including interest rates on loans and collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with others, involve no more than normal risk of collectibility, and present no other unfavorable features. In the normal course of business, the Banks are involved in various legal proceedings. In the current opinion of management, any liability resulting from such proceedings would not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements. IOWA FIRST BANCSHARES CORP.
