NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (1) Basis of Presentation --------------------- The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Illinois Community Bancorp, Inc. (the Company) and its wholly owned subsidiaries. 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 Illinois Guarantee Bank, FSB (the Bank)'s annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended June 30, 1997. 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 (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company at September 30, 1997, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the three months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996. Operating results for the three months ended September 30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending June 30, 1998. (2) Stock Conversion ---------------- On September 28, 1995, the Bank converted from a federally chartered mutual savings bank to a federally chartered capital stock savings bank through the sale and issuance of 502,550 shares of $1 par value common stock at a price of $10 per share, resulting in gross proceeds of $5,025,500. After reducing gross proceeds for conversion costs of $462,500, net proceeds totaled $4,563,000. In conjunction with the conversion, an employee stock ownership plan established by the Bank borrowed $402,040 from a third party to purchase 40,204 shares of common stock issued by the Bank. As of September 30, 1997, the outstanding loan balance is recorded as a liability and, a corresponding amount is reflected as a reduction to stockholders' equity. (3) Bank Holding Company -------------------- On July 23, 1996, the shareholders' of Illinois Guarantee Savings Bank approved the formation of a single bank holding company, Illinois Community Bancorp, Inc. The reorganization was consummated on September 27, 1996. Also approved on September 27, 1996 was the Management Recognition Plan of 4% outstanding stock and Stock Option Plan of up to 10% of outstanding stock. In the first quarter of calendar year 1997, the Company formed two subsidiary corporations to conduct business as a leasing corporation and a financial services corporation. (4) Bank Charter ------------ On April 21, 1997, Illinois Guarantee Savings Bank changed its name to Illinois Community Bank and its charter from a federal savings bank to an Illinois chartered commercial bank. Also on this date the Company became a bank holding company regulated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve, upon its conversion from a Thrift Holding Company. 6 ILLINOIS COMMUNITY BANCORP, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (5) Earnings Per Share ------------------ Only ESOP shares that are committed to be released are considered outstanding for earnings per share calculations. Earnings per share have been calculated based on 471,066 and 466,969 shares for the three months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. (6) Employee Stock Ownership Plan ----------------------------- In connection with the conversion to the stock form of ownership, the Board of Directors established an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) for the exclusive benefit of participating employees. Employees age 21 or older who have completed one year of service are eligible to participate. Upon the issuance of the common stock, the ESOP acquired $40,204 shares of $0.01 par value common stock at the subscription price of $10.00 per share. The Bank makes contributions to the ESOP equal to the ESOP's debt service less dividends received by the ESOP. All dividends received by the ESOP are used to pay debt service. The ESOP shares initially were pledged as collateral for its debt. As the debt is repaid, shares are released from collateral and allocated to active employees, based on the proportion of debt service paid in the year. The Bank accounts for its ESOP in accordance with Statement of Position 93-6. Accordingly, the debt of the ESOP is recorded as debt and the shares pledged as collateral are reported as unearned ESOP shares in the consolidated balance sheets. As shares are released from collateral, the Bank reports compensation expense equal to the current market price of the shares, and the shares become outstanding for earnings-per-share calculations. Dividends on allocated shares are recorded as a reduction of retained earnings; dividends on unallocated ESOP shares are recorded as a reduction of debt or accrued interest. ESOP compensation expense was $10,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The ESOP shares at September 30, 1997 were as follows: Allocated shares $ 8,643 Shares released for allocation 1,005 Unallocated shares 30,556 ---------- Total ESOP shares 40,204 ========== Fair value of unallocated shares $ 408,687 ========== (7) Management Recognition Plan The Company approved the establishment of the Management Recognition Plan "MRP" with the objectives to enable the Company to attract and retain personnel of experience and ability in key positions of responsibility. The stockholders approved the MRP at the annual meeting on July 23, 1996. Those eligible to receive benefits under the MRP will be on a discretionary basis and the MRP is a non-qualified plan that will be managed through a separate trust. The Company will contribute sufficient funds to the MRP for the purchase of up to 20,102 shares of common stock. Automatic grants will be made to the nonemployed directors, with two years continuous service prior to the effective plan date, of the lesser of 5% of the plan shares per Director or 30% of the plan shares in the aggregate. Nonemployed directors who join the Board within the two year period before the effective date or after the effective date shall receive up to 2% of the plan shares. These awards will vest 20% on each anniversary date except in the case of participant's death or disability where all shares awarded will vest immediately. The Company intends to expense the MRP awards over the years during which the shares are payable, based on the market value of the common stock at the time of the grant. The Company, on July 8, 1997, purchased 13,400 shares of its stock for $169,000. These shares will be used to fund the MRP. Compensation expense related to the MRP was $12,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1997. 7 ILLINOIS COMMUNITY BANCORP, INC. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations GENERAL The principal business of the Company is the business of the Bank. Therefore, substantially all of the discussion in the Form 10-QSB relates to the operations of the Bank. The business of the Bank consists of attracting deposits from the general public and using these funds to originate residential mortgage and home equity loans, business loans, multi-family and commercial real estate loans, automobile loans, and consumer loans. To a lesser extent, the Bank invests in interest-bearing deposits, U.S. Government and federal agency securities, mortgage-backed securities and local municipal securities. The Bank's profitability depends primarily on its net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income it earns on loans and investment portfolio and its cost of funds, which consists mainly of interest paid on deposits and Federal Home Loan Bank short term borrowings. Net interest income is affected by the relative amounts of interest-earning assets approximate or exceed interest-bearing liabilities, a positive interest rate spread will generate new interest income. The Bank's profitability is also affected by the level of noninterest income and expense. Noninterest income consists primarily of loan fees and late charges, recently supplemented by fees generated from the sales of qualified mortgage loans to the secondary mortgage market, and by commissions generated through Trust and Brokerage services. Non-interest expense consists of salaries and benefits, occupancy related expenses, deposit insurance premiums, and other operating expenses. The operations of the Bank, and financial institutions in general, 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 New management joined the Bank in 1995 and the managerial structure has developed in accordance with new business strategies intended to increase presence, new market segment penetration, and overall market share in its primary market area of Effingham County, Illinois ("Primary Market Area"). These new strategies, under the guidance and implementation of the newly formed management team, have increased lending activities, non-traditional banking services activities, and sources of fee income. New business development strategies include (i) hiring of experienced commercial banking personnel including a new Chief Credit Officer, Chief Administrative Officer, Controller, and a Trust and Investment Management Officer; (ii) instituting a manager call program encouraging direct contact with local businesses, property developers, realtors, home builders, auto dealers and others; (iii) improving customer service, educating staff, and developing a sales culture bank wide. Illinois Leasing Corporation, Inc., a subsidiary of the holding company, has provided enhanced services in its first year of operation in the form of commercial equipment leasing and alternatives to traditional commercial lending. The Bank's Trust and Investment Management Center began operations in April, 1997. Full service brokerage and investment management services, offered at the bank through our affiliate PRIMEVEST Financial Services, allows the Bank to better serve our customers' overall long term investment and financial planning needs. 8 ILLINOIS COMMUNITY BANCORP, INC. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Bank's primary sources of funds consist of deposits, repayment and prepayment of loans and mortgage-backed securities, maturities of investments and interest-bearing deposits, and funds provided from operations. While schedules repayments of loans and mortgage-backed securities and maturities of investment securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by the general level of interest rates, economic conditions and competition. The Bank 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. Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of management. If the Bank requires funds beyond its ability to generate internally, the Bank believes it could borrow additional funds from the FHLB. The Bank requested additional advances of $500,000 from the FHLB during the quarter ended September 30, 1997. The primary investing activity of the Bank is the origination of loans. During the quarter ended September 30, 1997, purchases of investment securities totaled $2.3 million while loan origination's totaled $6.8 million. These investments were funded primarily from loan and mortgage-backed security repayments of $6.1 million, sales of loans to FHLMC of $747,000, and investment security maturities and sales of $2.5 million. At September 30, 1997, the Bank had $2.6 million in outstanding commitments to originate loans and $1.3 million of unused lines of credit. The Bank anticipates that it may not have sufficient funds available to meet its current loan origination commitments and additional advances from FHLB may be requested. Certificates of deposit which are scheduled to mature in one year or less totaled $16.7 million at September 30, 1997. Based on historical experience, management believes that a significant portion of such deposits will remain with the Bank. ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT The principal operating objective of the Bank is the achievement of a positive interest rate spread that can be sustained during fluctuations in prevailing interest rates. Since the Bank's principal interest-earning assets have substantially longer terms to maturity than its primary source of funds, i.e., deposit liabilities, increase in general interest rates will generally result in an increase in the Bank's cost of funds before the yield on its asset portfolio adjusts upwards. Savings institutions have generally sought to reduce their exposure to adverse changes in interest rates by attempting to achieve a closer match between the periods in which their interest-bearing liabilities and interest-earning assets can be expected to reprice through the origination of adjustable-rate mortgages and loans with shorter terms. The term "interest rate sensitivity" refers to those assets and liabilities which mature and reprice periodically in response to fluctuations in market rates and yields. Thrift institutions have historically operated in a mismatched position with interest-sensitive liabilities greatly exceedin interest-sensitive assets in the short-term time periods. As noted above, one of the principal goals of the Bank's asset/liability program is to more closely match the interest rate sensitivity characteristics of the asset and liability portfolios. In order to properly manage interest rate risk, the Bank's management monitors the difference between the Bank's maturing and repricing assets and liabilities and develops and implements strategies to decrease the "negative gap" between the two. Management assesses the Bank's asset/liability mix, recommends strategies to the Board of Directors that will enhance income while managing the Bank's vulnerability to changes in interest rates, and reports to the Board of Directors the results of the strategies used. 9 ILLINOIS COMMUNITY BANCORP, INC. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT (CONT.) Since the early 1980's, the Bank has stressed the origination of adjustable rate mortgage loans. At September 30, 1997, the Bank had 22.0 million, or 48.7% of total loans, of adjustable or fixed rate loans either repricing or maturing in one year or less. In addition, the Bank had $303,000 in adjustable rate mortgage-backed securities at September 30, 1997. In order to increase the interest rate sensitivity of its assets, the Bank has also maintained a consistent level of short and intermediate-term investment securities and other assets. At September 30, 1997, the Bank had $603,000 of investment securities including mortgage-backed securities and interest-bearing deposits maturing within one year and $3.4 million maturing within one to five years. At September 30, 1997, the Bank also had $4.2 million in investment securities including mortgage-backed securities maturing after five years, of which $1.5 million represented the Bank's investment in an asset management adjustable rate fund, which is an uninsured mutual fund, which thereby carries greater risk than government insured investment securities. In the future, in managing its interest rate sensitivity, the Bank intends to continue to stress the origination of adjustable-rate mortgages and loans with shorter maturities, the purchase of adjustable rate mortgage-backed securities and the maintenance of a consistent level of short-term securities. In addition, the Bank has increased its origination of fixed-rate mortgage loans, and then sell such loans in the secondary mortgage market to FHLMC. REGULATORY CAPITAL The Company is regulated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System ("FRB") and is subject to securities registration and public reporting regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Bank is regulated by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") and the Illinois Commissioner of Banks and Real Estate (the "Commissioner"). The Bank is subject to the capital requirements of the FDIC and the Commissioner. The FDIC requires the Bank to maintain minimum ratios of tier 1 capital to total risk-weighted assets and total capital to risk-weighted assets of 4% and 8%, respectively. Tier 1 capital consists of total shareholders equity calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles less intangible assets, and total capital is comprised of Tier 1 capital plus certain adjustments, the only one of which is applicable to the Bank is the allowance for possible loan losses. Risk-weighted assets refer to the on-and off-balance sheet exposures of the Bank adjusted for relative risk levels using formulas set forth in FDIC regulations. The Bank is also subject to a FDIC leverage capital requirement, which calls for a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital (as defined above) to quarterly average total assets of 3% to 5%, depending on the institution's composite ratings as determined by its regulators. 10 ILLINOIS COMMUNITY BANCORP, INC. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations REGULATORY CAPITAL At September 30, 1997, the Bank was in compliance with all of the aforementioned capital requirements as summarized below: September 30, 1997 ------------ (1,000's) ------------ Tier I Capital: Common stockholders' equity $ 6,359 Unrealized holding loss (gain) on securities available for sale (165) ------- Total Tier I capital $ 6,194 ======= Tier II Capital: Total Tier I capital $ 6,194 Qualifying allowance for loan losses 360 ------- Total capital $ 6,554 ======= Risk-weighted assets $39,817 Quarter average assets $59,093 To be Well Capitalized under the Prompt For Capital Corrective Action Actual Adequacy Purposes Provisions --------------- ----------------- ------------------- Amount Ratio Amount Ratio Amount Ratio ------ ----- ------- ----- ------- ----- As of September 30, 1997: Total Risk-Based Capital (to Risk-Weighted Assets) $6,554 16.46% $3,185 8.0% $3,982 10.0% Tier I Capital (to Risk-Weighted Assets) 6,194 15.56% 1,593 4.0% 2,389 6.0% Tier I Capital (to Average Assets) 6,194 10.48% 2,364 4.0% 2,955 5.0% At the time of the conversion of the Bank to a stock organization, a special liquidation account was established for the benefit of eligible account holders and the supplemental eligible account holders in an amount equal to the net worth of the Bank. The special liquidation account will be maintained for the benefit of eligible account holders and the supplemental eligible accounts holders who continue to maintain their accounts in the Bank after the conversion on September 27, 1995. In the event of a complete liquidation distribution from the liquidation account in an amount proportionate to the current adjusted qualifying balances for accounts then held. With the reorganization completed on September 27, 1996, this liquidation account became part of stockholders' equity for the Company under the same terms and conditions as if the reorganization had not occurred. The Company may not declare or pay cash dividends on or repurchase any of its common stock if stockholders' equity would be reduced below applicable regulatory capital requirements or below the special liquidation account. 11 ILLINOIS COMMUNITY BANKCORP, INC. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations FINANCIAL CONDITION The Bank's total assets decreased $219,000 or 0.37%, from $59.8 million at June 30, 1997, to $59.6 million at September 30, 1997. The Bank continues to experience loan growth and increased loan receivables by $195,000 or 0.43%, from $45.2 million at June 30, 1997 to $45.4 million at September 30, 1997. Deposits decreased $561,000 from $43.7 million at June 30, 1997, to $43.1 million at September 30, 1997. The deposits were not sufficient to meet the demands of loan originations. The Bank had to request addition advances from the FHLB in the amount of $500,000 during the quarter to fund the loan originations. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Net income for the three months ended September 30, 1997 was $121,000 compared to $(168,000) net loss for the three months ended September 30, 1996. This increase in net income of $289,000 was primarily from the gain on sale of securities of $212,000, a decrease in non-interest expense of $93,000, and a reduction in loan loss provision of $66,000 which was offset partially by an increase in provision for income taxes of $148,000. Net interest income for the three months ended September 30, 1997 was $420,000 compared to $401,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1996. Interest income increased by $173,000 from $895,000 to$1,068,000 or by 19.3%, during the 1997 period compared to the 1996 period. This increase is attributed to growth in interest earning assets from $47.0 million at September 30, 1996 to $54.0 million at September 30, 1997. In addition, average yield on interest earning assets increased from 7.79% to 7.97% for the quarters ended September 30, 1996 and 1997, respectively. Interest expense increased $154,000 or 31.2%, to $648,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1997 from $494,000 for the same period in 1996. This increase was primarily from growth in interest bearing liabilities from $43.4 million at September 30, 1996 to $51.9 million at September 30, 1997. 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 three months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, the Bank's provision for loan losses was $16,000 and $82,000, respectively. The allowance for loan losses was $365,000 or .80% of loans receivable at September 30, 1997, compared to $351,000, or .78% of loans receivable at June 30, 1997. The Bank's level of non-performing loans was 0.39% of total loans at June 30, 1997 compared to 0.59% as of September 30, 1997. Based on current reserve levels in relation to total loans receivable and classified assets and the identification and diligent effort put forth by management to address problem loan situations in recent years, management believes its reserves are currently adequate. Noninterest income was $291,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1997 compared to $32,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1996. The increase in noninterest income was largely due to sale of FHLMC stock, which resulted in a gain of $212,000 in the 1997 period. 12 ILLINOIS COMMUNITY BANCORP, INC. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONT.) Noninterest expense decreased from $600,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1996 to $507,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1997. This decrease of $93,000 resulted from the one time SAIF special assessment of $211,000 during the quarter ended September 30, 1996, which was not included in the 1997 results. This decrease was partially offset by the increase in compensation and employee benefits and occupancy and equipment expense of $124,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1997 compared to the 1996 period. Primarily, these expenses increased from the operation of the branch location opened in January of 1997. The Company's effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 was approximately 36% and 33%, respectively. NONPERFORMING ASSETS At September 30, 1997, the Bank had $313,000 in nonperforming assets. On September 30, 1996, the Bank had $221,000 in nonperforming assets. IMPACT OF 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 Bank are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a more significant impact on the Bank'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. 13 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 1.
