CHICAGO, ILLINOIS NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial condition of PS Financial, Inc. as of March 31, 1998 and 1997, and the results of its operations for the three month period then ended. NOTE 2 - CONVERSION On November 26, 1996, Preferred Savings Bank ("Bank") converted from a state chartered mutual savings bank to a federally chartered stock savings bank. The Bank issued all of its common stock to PS Financial, Inc. ("Company") and at the same time the Company issued 2,182,125 shares of common stock at $10.00 per share to the ESOP, certain depositors of the Bank, and certain members of the general public, all pursuant to a plan of conversion ("Conversion"). The ESOP purchased 174,570 shares of common stock representing 8% of the total issued shares. The ESOP borrowed $1,745,700 from the Company to purchase the stock using the stock as collateral for the loan. The loan is to be repaid principally from the Bank's contributions to the ESOP over a period of up to 40 years. NOTE 3 - CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS Pursuant to federal regulations, savings institutions must meet three separate capital requirements. The following is a summary of the Bank's regulatory capital at March 31, 1998.

CHICAGO, ILLINOIS MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997 Total assets decreased $4.1 million from $87.9 million at December 31, 1997 to $83.8 million at March 31, 1998, due mainly to the payment of the special dividend of $7.5 million in January 1998, which was partially offset by an increase in FHLB advances of $4.3 million. The Bank's net loans receivable increased by $4.5 million from $37.2 million at December 31, 1997 to $41.7 million at March 31, 1998. Securities available-for-sale decreased by $5.2 million from $33.5 million at December 31, 1997 to $28.3 million at March 31, 1998. In addition, mortgage backed securities increased by $1.4 million from $8.1 million at December 31, 1997 to $9.5 million at March 31, 1998. These increases were mainly offset by a decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $4.6 million from $6.3 million at December 31, 1997 to $1.7 million at March 31, 1998. The decreases were due to the payment of the special dividend of $7.5 million in January 1998, which was partially offset by an increase in FHLB advances of $4.3 million. Total liabilities at March 31, 1998 were $60.5 million compared to $64.8 million at December 31, 1997, a decrease of $4.3 million. The decrease of $8.3 million in other liabilities was due to the payment of the $4.00 per share special dividend which totaled $7.5 million. Equity at March 31, 1998 was $23.3 million compared to $23.1 million at December 31, 1997, an increase of $212,000, or 1.0%, due primarily to net earnings of $414,000 and partially offset by a $61,000 decrease in the unrealized gain on securities available-for-sale and payment of regular dividends totaling $227,000. Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 1998 and March 31, 1997. General Net earnings for the three months ended March 31, 1998 were $414,000, a decrease of $16,000, or 3.7%, from net earnings of $430,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997. The decrease in net earnings is primarily due to the decrease in the ratio of interest earning assets to interest bearing liabilities resulting from the payment of a special $4.00 per share dividend in January and the increased use of FHLB advances in an attempt to better leverage the Company's high capital ratio. Interest Income Interest income for the three months ended March 31, 1998 was $1.6 million compared to $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 1997, an increase of $225,000, or 16.3%. The increase in interest income was the result of an increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets primarily due to an increase in the average balance of mortgage loans. The increase in the average balance was helped by an increase in yield on interest-earning assets for the three months ended March 31, 1998. This increase was primarily due to an increase in the yield on loans which replaced lower yielding agency securities. Interest Expense Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 1998 was $655,000 compared to $424,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997, an increase of $231,000, or 54.4%. The increase in interest expense was due to the use of FHLB advances during the three months ended March 31, 1998 compared to the three months ended March 31, 1997. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits. Provision for Loan Losses The Bank's provision for loan losses was zero for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997. At March 31, 1998, the Bank's allowance for loan losses totaled $174,000, or .4% of total loans. The amount of the provision and allowance for estimated losses on loans is influenced by current economic conditions, actual loss experience, industry trends and 10 PS FINANCIAL, INC. CHICAGO, ILLINOIS MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- other factors, such as adverse economic conditions, including declining real estate values, in the Bank's market area. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the Bank's allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require the Bank to provide additions to the allowance based upon judgments which differ from those of management. The absence of a loan loss provision for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 is indicative of management's assessment of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, given the trends in historical loss experience of the portfolio and current economic conditions, as well as the fact that the majority of loans are single-family residential loans and the loan-to-values are generally less than 80%. Although management uses the best information available, future adjustments to the allowance may be necessary due to economic, operating, regulatory and other conditions that may be beyond the Bank's control. Past due loan balances at March 31, 1998 increased to $3.8 million compared to $2.6 million at March 31, 1997. Non-accruing loans at March 31, 1998 totaled $1.5 million compared to $1.1 million at March 31, 1997. Noninterest Income Noninterest income for the three months ended March 31, 1998 was $36,000 compared to $24,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997. The increase was primarily due to a $17,000 increase in net gain on sales of securities in 1998. Noninterest Expense Noninterest expense was $346,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 compared to $280,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997, an increase of $66,000. The increase was primarily a result of a $62,000 increase in compensation and benefits, including ESOP and RRP expenses, and an increase of $11,000 in other operating expenses, partially offset by a $5,000 decrease in professional fees. Income Taxes Income taxes were $225,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 compared to $269,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997, a decrease of $44,000, or 19.6%. The decrease was primarily a result of a $60,000 decrease in pretax earnings. Asset/Liability Management In an attempt to manage its exposure to changes in interest rates, management monitors the Company's interest rate risk. The Board of Directors meets at least quarterly to review the Company's interest rate risk position and profitability. The Board of Directors also reviews the Company's portfolio, formulates investment strategies and oversees the timing and implementation of transactions to assure attainment of the Company's objectives in the most effective manner. In addition, the Board anticipates reviewing on a quarterly basis the Company's asset/liability position, including simulations of the effect on the Company's capital of various interest rate scenarios. Interest rate risk information as of March 31, 1998 was not yet available at the time of this filing; however, management estimates that there has not been a material change from the December 31, 1997 presentation, which is discussed below. In managing its asset/liability mix, PS Financial, depending on the relationship between long- and short-term interest rates, market conditions and consumer preference, often places more emphasis on managing net interest margin than on better matching the interest rate sensitivity of its assets and liabilities in an effort to enhance net interest income. Management believes that the increased net interest income resulting from a mismatch in the maturity of its asset and liability portfolios can, during periods of declining or stable interest rates, provide high enough returns to justify the increased exposure to sudden and unexpected increases in interest rates. Management has taken a number of steps to limit to some extent its interest rate risk. First, the Company focuses its fixed rate loan originations on loans with maturities of 15 years or less. At March 31, 1998, $30.5 million or 96.8% of the Company's one- to four family residential loan portfolio consisted of fixed rate loans having original terms to maturity of 15 years or less. Second, the Company offers balloon loans of 10 years or less in an attempt to decrease its 11 PS FINANCIAL, INC. CHICAGO, ILLINOIS MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- asset/liability mismatch. Third, the Company maintains a portfolio of securities and liquid assets with weighted average lives of three years or less. At March 31, 1998, the Company had $28.3 million of securities with a remaining average life of 8.26 years. Fourth, the Company has maintained a mortgage-backed securities portfolio with adjustable-rates. At March 31, 1998, adjustable rate mortgage-backed securities totaled $6.4 million which represented 7.6% of interest-earning assets. Fifth, the Company has attempted to reinvest the proceeds of most of its borrowings into assets with maturities which are anticipated to be similar to those of its borrowings. Finally, a substantial proportion of the Company's liabilities consists of passbook savings accounts which are believed by management to be somewhat less sensitive to interest rate changes than certificate accounts. The primary objective of PS Financial's investment strategy is to provide liquidity necessary to meet funding needs as well as to address daily, cyclical and long-term changes in the asset/liability mix, while contributing to profitability by providing a stable flow of dependable earnings. Investments generally include interest-bearing deposits in other federally insured financial institutions, FHLB stock and U.S. Government securities. Generally, the investment policy of the Company is to invest funds among various categories of investments and maturities based upon the Company's need for liquidity, to achieve the proper balance between its desire to minimize risk and maximize yield, to provide collateral for borrowings, and to fulfill the Company's asset/liability management policies. PS Financial's cost of funds responds to changes in interest rates due to the relatively short-term nature of its deposit portfolio. Consequently, the results of operations are heavily influenced by the levels of short-term interest rates. PS Financial offers a range of maturities on its deposit products at competitive rates and monitors the maturities on an ongoing basis. An approach used by management to quantify interest rate risk is the net portfolio value ("NPV") analysis. In essence, this approach calculates the difference between the present value of liabilities, expected cash flows from assets and cash flows from off balance sheet contracts. 12 PS FINANCIAL, INC. CHICAGO, ILLINOIS MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The following table sets forth, at December 31, 1997, an analysis of the Bank's interest rate risk as measured by the estimated changes in NPV resulting from instantaneous and sustained parallel shifts in the yield curve (+/-400 basis points, measured in 100 basis point increments). Change in Interest Estimated Ratio of NPV Estimated Increase Rates NPV to (Decrease) in NPV (Basis Points) Amount Total Assets Amount Percent +400 $14,271 18% ($8,611) (38)% +300 16,443 21 (6,439) (28) +200 18,792 24 (4,090) (18) +100 21,087 27 (1,795) (8) --- 22,882 29 --- --- -100 24,658 31 1,776 8 -200 26,318 34 3,436 15 -300 28,216 36 5,334 23 -400 30,508 39 7,626 33 Certain assumptions utilized in assessing interest rate risk were employed in preparing the preceding table. These assumptions relate to interest rates, loan prepayment rates, deposit decay rates, and the market values of certain assets under the various interest rate scenarios. It was also assumed that delinquency rates will not change as a result of changes in interest rates although there can be no assurance that this will be the case. Even if interest rates change in the designated amounts, there can be no assurance that the Bank's assets and liabilities would perform as set forth above. In addition, a change in U.S. Treasury rates in the designated amounts accompanied by a change in the shape of the Treasury yield curve would cause significantly different changes to the NPV than indicated above Impact of New Accounting Standards On March 3, 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement 128, "Earning Per Share", which is effective for financial statements beginning with year end 1997. Statement 128 simplifies the calculation of earnings per share (EPS) by replacing primary EPS with basic EPS. It also requires dual presentation of basic EPS and diluted EPS for entities with complex capital structures. Basic EPS include no dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in earnings, such as stock options, warrants or other common stock equivalents. The Company expects Statement 128 to have little impact on its earnings per share calculations in future years, other than changing terminology from primary EPS to basic EPS. All prior period EPS data will be restated to conform with the new presentation. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income", was issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board in 1997. This Statement establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general-purpose financial statements. It does not address issues of recognition or measurement for comprehensive income and is components. Statement 130 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. Since the provisions of this Statement are disclosure oriented, it will have no impact on the operations of the Company. Comprehensive income is now reported for all periods. Comprehensive income includes both net income and other comprehensive income. Other comprehensive income includes the change in unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale. 13 PS FINANCIAL, INC. CHICAGO, ILLINOIS MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information", was issued in 1997 by the Financial Accounting Standards Board. This Statement establishes standards for the way that public business enterprises report information about operating segments in annual financial reports issued to shareholders. It also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas, and major customers. Statement 131 is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 1997. Management does not believe that the provisions of this Statement are applicable to the Company, since substantially all of the Company's operations are banking services. Year 2000 The Company has conducted a review of its computer systems to review the systems that could be affected by the "Year 2000" issue and is developing an implementation plan to resolve the issue. The Year 2000 problem is the result of computer programs being written using two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. For example, programs that have time sensitive software may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This could result in a major system failure or miscalculations. The Company presently believes that, with modifications to existing software and by converting to new software, the Year 2000 problem will not pose significant operational problems for the Company's computer systems as so modified and converted. However, if such modifications and conversions are not completed timely, the Year 2000 problem may have a material impact on the operations of the Company.
