AND SUBSIDIARY NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION On June 30, 1998, CFS Bancshares, Inc. (the "Registrant") completed the acquisition of Citizens Federal Savings Bank (the "Bank") pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization in which the Bank became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant, a newly formed holding company incorporated by the Bank for that purpose. Under the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, each outstanding share of the common stock, $1.00 par value per share, of the Bank (the "Bank's Common Stock") was converted into one share of the common stock, $0.01 par value per share, of the Registrant (the "Common Stock") and the former holders of the Bank's Common Stock became the holders of all outstanding Common Stock. The Registrant has thereby become the successor issuer to the Bank. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (none of which are other than normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair statement of financial position of the Bank and the results of operations for the three month and nine month periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1998. The results contained in these statements are not necessarily indicative of the results, which may be expected for the entire year. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Bank's annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended September 30, 1997. 2. RECLASSIFICATIONS Certain items in the 1997 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to current year classifications. 3. IMPLEMENTATION OF FASB NO. 128 During the quarter ended December 31, 1997, the Bank adopted the requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings Per Share. This statement establishes standards for computing and presenting earnings per share ("EPS") and applies to entities with publicly held common stock or potential stock. The statement replaces the presentation of primary EPS with a presentation of basic EPS. It also requires dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the income statement for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation. Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if the Bank's outstanding options to acquire common stock were exercised. The assumed exercise of these options accounts for the difference between basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding. 8 4. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS In June 1997 the FASB issued Financial Accounting Statement No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, ("FAS131"). FAS131 requires that financial and descriptive information be disclosed for each reportable operating segment based on the management approach. The management approach focuses on financial information that an enterprise's decision makers use to assess performance and make decisions about resource allocation. The statement also prescribes the enterprise-wide disclosures to be made about products, services, geographic areas and major customers. FAS131 is effective for annual financial statements in the second year of application. The Bank expects to adopt FAS131 as of October 1, 1998. In June 1998 the FASB issued Financial Accounting Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, ("FAS133"). FAS133 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. This statement is effective for all fiscal quarter of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. Presently, the Bank is unable to quantify the impact that the adoption of FAS133 will have on the consolidated financial statements of the Company. 9 MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS - ---------------------------------- REVIEW OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OVERVIEW - -------- On June 30, 1998 CFS Bancshares, Inc. (the "Registrant") completed the acquisition of Citizens Federal Savings Bank (the "Bank") pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization in which the Bank became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant, a newly formed holding company incorporated for that purpose. Under the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, each outstanding share of the common stock, $1.00 par value per share, of the Bank (the "Bank's Common Stock") was converted into one share of the common stock, $0.01 par value per share, of the Registrant (the "Common Stock") and the former holders of the Bank's Common Stock became the holders of all outstanding Common Stock. The Registrant has thereby become the successor issuer to the Bank. Net income for the three months ended June 30, 1998 was $65,660, a decrease of $1,639 when compared to the three months ended June 30, 1997. Net interest income increased from $709,876 for the three month period ended June 30, 1997 to $739,841 for the three month period in the current fiscal year as a result of an increase in the Bank's net loan portfolio between June 1997 and June 30, 1998. Total other expense increased from $700,916 to $740,849 between the three month periods ended June 30, 1997 and June 30, 1998 primarily as a result of a change by the Bank in third party data processors during the period. Net income for the nine months ended June 30, 1998 was $262,634, an increase of $26,308 when compared to the nine months ended June 30, 1997. The increase in net earnings resulted from increases in net interest income and decreases in operating expense which were partially offset by a decline in other income when comparing the nine month period ended June 30, 1998 to the same period in the prior fiscal year. NET INTEREST INCOME - ------------------- Net interest income is the difference between the interest and fees earned on loans, securities and other interest bearing assets (interest income) and the interest paid on deposits and FHLB advances (interest expense). The Bank's deposits and FHLB advances are primarily short term in nature and reprice faster than the Bank's interest earning assets, consisting mainly of loans and mortgage backed securities, which generally have longer maturities. The mix of the Bank's interest earning assets and deposits and FHLB advances along with the trend of market interest rates have a substantial impact on the change in net interest margin. The cost of the Bank's interest bearing liabilities increased 17 basis points from 3.95% for the nine month period ended June 30 1997 to 4.12% during the nine month period ended June 30 1998 while the yield on interest earning assets increased 57 basis points from 7.54% for the nine month period ended June 30 1997 to 8.11% for the comparable period in the current fiscal year. The Bank's net interest income increased by $121,988 or 5.70% from $2,140,594 for the nine month period ended June 30, 1997 to $2,262,582 for the nine month period in the current fiscal year. The increase resulted from increases in both the Bank's net interest margin and in the average balance of interest earning assets for the six month period ended June 30, 1998 when compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. The increases in net interest margin and 10 interest earning assets are attributable to an increase in the Bank's loan portfolio which grew from $40,414,515 at June 30, 1997 to $45,838,975 at June 30, 1998 an increase of $5,424,460 or 13.42%. The funding for the growth in the Bank's loan portfolio was provided primarily from Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances which totaled $13,400,000 at June 30, 1998. At June 30, 1997 there were FHLB advances outstanding of $4,200,000. The advances have higher rates than the weighted average cost of the Bank's deposits and are the primary cause for the 17 basis point increase in the average cost of interest bearing liabilities between the nine month period ended June 30, 1997 and the nine month period in the current fiscal year. OTHER INCOME - ------------ During the nine month period ended June 30, 1998 other income decreased from $433,459 for the nine month period ended June 30, 1997 to $346,284 for the comparable period in the current fiscal year. The decrease resulted from declines in service charges on deposits of $33,585 and decreases in gains on sale of securities of $48,511 when comparing the nine months ended June 30, 1998 to the comparable period in the prior fiscal year. During the year ended September 30, 1997 the Bank began assessing for the first time monthly service charges on checking and savings accounts which resulted in the closing of a large number of those accounts during the year. OTHER EXPENSE - ------------- During the nine month period ended June 30, 1998 the Bank's other expenses declined by $6,294 from $2,204,794 for the nine month period ended June 30, 1997 to $2,198,500 for the comparable period in the current year. Most categories of expense declined when comparing the nine-month period ended June 30, 1998 to the comparable period in the prior fiscal year. The declines were offset by increases in professional services and data processing expense of $57,086 and $30,799 when comparing the nine months ended June 30, 1997 to the nine month period in the current fiscal year. REVIEW OF FINANCIAL CONDITION - ----------------------------- Significant factors affecting the Bank's financial condition from September 30, 1997 to June 30 1998 are detailed below: ASSETS - ------ Total assets decreased $2,307,797 or 2.32% from $99,640,318 at September 30, 1997 to $97,332,521 at June 30, 1998. The decline is primarily attributable to the settlement of a payable for investment securities transaction at September 30, 1997 in the amount of $4,975,130. The Bank committed to purchase several mortgage backed securities during the latter part of September 1997 which did not settle until October 1997. The funding for settlement of the securities transactions was provided by a decrease in federal funds and overnight deposits, proceeds from the sale of an investment security available for sale and from cash flows from the investment portfolio. At the end of June 1998 the Bank borrowed an additional $4,200,000 from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (FHLB). The new money is a long-term advance and will be used to replace $4,200,000 of short-term advances, which mature in August 1998. Between September 30, 1997 and June 30 1998 the Bank's loan portfolio increased by 11 $3,266,098 or 7.67% from $42,572,877 at September 30, 1997 to $45,838,975 at June 30, 1998 while the Bank's total investment portfolio decreased by $8,792,308 or 19.66% from $44,718,585 at September 30, 1997 to $35,926,277 at June 30, 1998. LIABILITIES - ----------- Total liabilities decreased $2,449,287 or 2.67% between September 30, 1997 and June 30 1998. The decrease resulted from the settlement of a payable for investment securities transactions which was previously discussed in the asset section. Advances from the FHLB increased by $4,200,000 as the Bank acquired a long-term advance at the end of June 1998 to replace a short-term advance, which will mature in August 1998. The Bank's deposits declined $1,063,483 or 1.39% between September 30, 1997 and June 30, 1998. LOAN QUALITY - ------------ A key to long term earnings growth for the Bank is maintenance of a high quality loan portfolio. The Bank's directive in this regard is carried out through its policies and procedures for review of loans. The goals and results of these policies and procedures are to provide a sound basis for new credit extensions and an early recognition of problem assets to allow the most flexibility in their timely disposition. At June 30, 1998 the Bank had $1,221,769 in assets classified as substandard including real estate acquired by foreclosure of $111,951, no assets classified as doubtful and $40,903 in assets classified as loss. The assets classified as loss have been fully reserved. At September 30, 1997 the Bank had $366,603 in assets classified as substandard including real estate acquired by foreclosure of $99,494, no assets classified as doubtful and $252,792 in assets classified as loss. The allowance for loan losses was $391,332 at June 30, 1998. Management believes that the current allowance for loan losses is adequate to cover any potential future loan losses which exist in the loan portfolio, although there can be no assurance that further increases in the loan loss allowance will not be made as circumstances warrant. LIQUIDITY AND INTEREST SENSITIVITY - ---------------------------------- The Bank is required under applicable federal regulations to maintain specified levels of cash and "liquid" investments in qualifying types of United States Treasury and federal agency securities and other investments. Such investments serve as a source of funds upon which the Bank may rely to meet deposit withdrawals and other short term needs. The Bank monitors its cash flow position to assure adequate liquidity levels and to take advantage of market opportunities. The Bank maintains liquidity levels which significantly exceed the minimum the regulatory requirements. Management believes that the Bank's liquidity is adequate to fund all outstanding commitments and other cash needs. Changes in interest rates will necessarily lead to changes in net interest margin. The Bank's goal is to minimize volatility in the net interest margin by taking an active role in managing the level, mix and maturity of assets and liabilities. The Bank's primary emphasis in reducing its interest rate risk is to focus on reducing the weighted average maturity of the loan portfolio and by purchasing adjustable rate securities. 12 YEAR 2000 (Y2K) CONSIDERATIONS - ------------------------------ The Bank has contacted and maintained a continuing dialogue with its major computer service vendors and has received assurances that those computer services will properly function on January 1, 2000, the date that computer problems are expected to develop world wide. The Bank has scheduled testing of its primary systems in a simulated year 2000 environment during the third calendar quarter of 1998 and again during the first quarter of calendar 1999. The Bank has also tested computer hardware and software for year 2000 compliance and is in the process of replacing or upgrading systems that require changes to be Y2K compliant. Based on a review of our internal bookkeeping practices and our conferences with our third party service companies, we do not expect to incur significant additional bookkeeping, data processing or other expenses in connection with issues related to the Year 2000 issue. CAPITAL ADEQUACY AND RESOURCES - ------------------------------ Management is committed to maintaining capital at a level sufficient to protect stockholders and depositors, provide for reasonable growth, and fully comply with all regulatory requirements. Management's strategy to maintain this goal is to retain sufficient earnings while providing a reasonable return to stockholders in the form of dividends and return on equity. The Office of Thrift Supervision has issued guidelines identifying minimum regulatory "tangible" capital equal to 1.50% of adjusted total assets, a minimum 3.00% core capital ratio and a minimum risk based capital of 8.00% of risk weighted assets. The Bank has provided the majority of its capital requirements through the retention of earnings. At June 30, 1998 the Bank satisfied all regulatory requirements. The Bank's compliance with the current standards is as follows: For capital Well Actual adequacy purposes capitalized ---------------- ------------------ --------------- Amount Ratio Amount Ratio Amount Ratio ------ ----- ------ ----- ------ ----- Total capital (to risk weighted assets) $8,146,184 17.66% 3,690,880 8.00% 4,613,600 10.00% Tier I capital (to risk weighted assets) $7,921,434 17.17% 1,845,440 4.00% 2,768,160 6.00% Tier I capital (to average assets) $7,921,434 8.23% 3,800,910 4.00% 4,924,321 5.00% Reconciliation of capital: Risk Weighted Tier I Capital Capital Total stockholders' equity (GAAP) $7,939,628 $7,939,628 Unrealized gain on securities - AFS (18,194) (18,194) Allowance for loan losses 353,838 - Equity investments (129,088) Total $8,146,184 $7,921,434 13 CFS BANCSHARES, INC.
