DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS ----------------------- Webster City Federal Bancorp ( the "Company" ) and its subsidiaries, Webster City Federal Savings Bank, a federal stock savings bank (the "Bank") and Security Title and Abstract, Inc., conduct operations in Webster City, Iowa, a community of approximately 8,000 people. The Bank is primarily engaged in the business of attracting deposits from the general public in its market area and investing such deposits in mortgage loans secured by one-to-four family residential real estate. The Bank's primary area of lending and other financial services consists of Hamilton County, Iowa, and the surrounding contiguous counties. Security Title and Abstract, Inc. is engaged in the business of providing abstracting and title services for properties located in Hamilton County, Iowa. Webster City Federal Bancorp was formed as the holding company for the Bank on July 1, 1999 pursuant to a plan of reorganization adopted by the Bank and its stockholders. Pursuant to the reorganization, each share of Webster City Federal Savings Bank common stock held by existing stockholders of the Bank was exchanged for a share of common stock of Webster City Federal Bancorp. The reorganization had no financial statement impact and is reflected for all prior periods presented. Approximately 60% of the Company's outstanding common stock is owned by WCF Financial M.H.C., a mutual holding company (the "Holding Company"). The remaining 40% of the Company's outstanding common stock is owned by the general public including the Bank's Employee Stock Ownership Plan. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES ------------------------------------------ The consolidated financial statements for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 are unaudited. In the opinion of management of the Company, these financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals necessary to present fairly these consolidated financial statements. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for an entire year. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted. Principles of Consolidation - --------------------------- The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Webster City Federal Bancorp, Security Title and Abstract, Inc., Webster City Federal Savings Bank and its wholly owned subsidiary, WCF Service Corporation, which is engaged in the sales of mortgage life and credit life insurance to the Bank's loan customers. All material inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the Unites States of America. In preparing such financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and revenues and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change relate to management's determination of the allowance for loan losses, which is a critical accounting policy of the Company. We believe our policies with respect to the methodology for determining the allowance for loan losses involve a higher degree of complexity and requires management to make subjective judgments that often require assumptions or estimates about highly uncertain matters. These critical policies and their application are periodically reviewed with the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors. 4 3. EARNINGS PER SHARE COMPUTATIONS -------------------------------- 2002 - ---- Earnings per share - basic is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding of 1,888,376 and 1,879,562 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, respectively, and divided into the net earnings of $418,236 and $1,142,747, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, respectively, resulting in basic earnings per share of $.22 and $.61 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, respectively. Earnings per share - diluted is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding after giving effect to additional shares assumed to be issued pursuant to the Bank's stock option plan using the average price per share for the period. Such additional shares were 3,445 and 3,283 shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, respectively, due to the average price per share being more than the stock option exercise price for these periods. Net earnings for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 were $418,236 and $1,142,747, respectively, resulting in diluted earnings per share of $.22 and $.61 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, respectively. 2001 - ---- Earnings per share - basic is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding of 1,867,901 and 1,880,101 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001, respectively, and divided into the net earnings of $296,537 and $850,639, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001, respectively, resulting in net earnings per share of $.16 and $.45 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001, respectively. Earnings per share - diluted is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding after giving effect to additional shares assumed to be issued pursuant to the Bank's stock option plan using the average price per share for the period. There were no additional shares assumed to be issued for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001, due to the average price per share being less than the stock option exercise price for these periods. Net earnings for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001 were $296,537 and $850,639, respectively, resulting in net earnings per share of $.16 and $.45 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001, respectively. 4. DIVIDENDS --------- On July 17, 2002 the Company declared a cash dividend on its common stock payable on August 22, 2002 to stockholders of record as of August 6, 2002, equal to $.25 per share or approximately $537,654. Of this amount, the payment of approximately $287,500 (representing the dividend payable on 1,150,000 shares owned by WCF Financial, M.H.C., the Company's mutual holding company) was waived by the mutual holding company, resulting in an actual dividend distribution of $250,154. 5. INTANGIBLE ASSET ---------------- A Company subsidiary maintains an intangible asset relating to a customer list. It has an estimated useful life of 15 years and is being amortized using the straight-line method. At September 30, 2002, the gross carrying amount was $145,000 with accumulated amortization of $19,337. Amortization expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 was $7,254 and $10,476, respectively. The estimated amortization expense for the following five year period is as follows: December 31, 2003 $ 9,667. December 31, 2004 9,667. December 31, 2005 9,667. December 31, 2006 9,667. December 31, 2007 9,667. 5 Item 2 Webster City Federal Bancorp and Subsidiaries Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations FINANCIAL CONDITION - ------------------- Total assets decreased by $2.0 million, or 1.9%, from December 31, 2001 to September 30, 2002. Cash and cash equivalents decreased $7.2 million or 78.4% and time deposits in other financial institutions increased by $6.3 million or 450%. Loans receivable increased $1.7 million or 2.3% from December 31, 2001 to September 30, 2002. At September 30, 2002, the Company had $44,000 in real estate owned. Investment securities decreased $1.4 million or 30.6%, from December 31, 2001 to September 30, 2002. Prepaid expenses and other assets increased by $232,100 or 85.7% from December 31, 2001 to September 30, 2002, which includes an investment of $280,000 in a local real estate property. During the nine-month period deposits decreased $2.9 million, or 4.1%. Total stockholders' equity increased by $803,600 to $22.2 million at September 30, 2002 from $21.3 at December 31, 2001 as earnings of $1.1 million and additional paid in capital received from officers exercising their stock options were offset by three quarterly dividends totaling $576,900. CAPITAL - ------- The Bank's total equity, increased by $695,200, to $21.3 million at September 30, 2002 from $20.6 million at December 31, 2001. The Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) requires that the Bank meet certain minimum capital requirements. As of September 30, 2002 the Bank was in compliance with all regulatory capital requirements. The Bank's required, actual and excess capital levels as of September 30, 2002 were as follows: Required % of Actual % of Excess Amount Assets Amount Assets Capital ------ ------ ------ ------ ------- (Dollars in thousands) Tier 1 (Core) Capital $3,994 4.0% $21,322 21.36% $17,328 Risk-based Capital $4,015 8.0% $21,581 43.00% $17,566 LIQUIDITY - --------- OTS regulations require the Bank to maintain an average daily balance of qualified liquid assets (cash, certain time deposits and specified United States government, state or federal agency obligations) equal to a monthly average of not less than 4% of its net withdrawable deposits plus short-term borrowings. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - --------------------- Interest Income. Interest income remained unchanged at $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002 and for the three months ended September 30, 2001. This was the result of a decrease in the average yield on interest-earning assets to 6.83% for the three months ended September 30, 2002 from 7.03% for the three months ended September 30, 2001 and an increase in the average balance of interest earning assets of $3.5 million or 3.7% to $97.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002 from $94.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001. Interest income remained at $5.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. This was the result of a decrease in the average yield on interest-earning assets to 6.84% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from 7.22% for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and an increase in the average balance of interest earning assets of $4.5 million or 4.8% to $97.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from $93.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. Interest on loans for the three months ended September 30, 2002 increased $16,100 or 1.1% compared to the three months ended September 30, 2001. The increase resulted primarily from an increase in total loans outstanding during 6 the period, offset by a decrease in the yields on loans receivable from 7.74% for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 to 7.63% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. Interest on loans for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 increased $86,000 or 2.0% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2001. The increase resulted primarily from an increase in total loans outstanding for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, partly offset by a decrease in the yields on loans receivable from 7.74% for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 to 7.63% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. The decrease in the yield on loans receivable was primarily due to lower market rates and adjustable rate loans repricing at a lower rate based on the lagging index used by the Bank. Interest on mortgage-backed securities decreased by $28,200 or 35.5% for the three-month period ended September 30, 2002 as compared to the same period ended September 30, 2001. The decline resulted from a decrease of $2.0 million or 42.3% in the average balance of mortgage-backed securities to $3.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002 from to $4.7 million for three months ended September 30, 2001 and a decrease of 38 basis points in the average yield on mortgage-backed securities to 6.36% for the three months ended September 30, 2002 from 6.74% for the three months ended September 30, 2001. Interest on mortgage-backed securities decreased $98,500 or 36.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 compared to same period ended September 30, 2001. The decline resulted from a decrease of $1.7 million or 32.3% in the average balance of mortgage-backed securities to $3.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from $5.3 million for nine months ended September 30, 2001 and a decrease of 42 basis points in the average yield on mortgage-backed securities to 6.48% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 from 6.90% for the nine months ended September 30, 2001. Interest on investment securities increased by $80,100 or 161.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2002 compared to the same period ended September 30, 2001. This was due to an increase in the average balance of investment securities from $3.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001 to $9.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002 and an increase in the average yield of 30 basis points from 5.15%, for the three months ended September 30, 2001 to 5.45%, for the three months ended September 30, 2002. Interest on investment securities increased by $153,100 or 55.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to the same period ended September 30, 2001. This was due to an increase in the average balance of investment securities from $5.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 to $10.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 offset by a decrease in the average yield of 101 basis points from 6.21%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 to 5.20%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased by $222,300, or 25.6%, from $868,900 for the three months ended September 30, 2001 to $646,500 for the three months ended September 30, 2002.

The interest expense on the FHLB advances increased by $31,400 or 32.6% from $96,400 for the three months ended September 30, 2001 to $127,800 for the three months ended September 30, 2002. The increase in interest on FHLB advances was more than offset by a decrease in interest on deposits of $253,700 or 32.8% from $772,500 for the three months ended September 30, 2001 to $518,800 for the three months ended September 30, 2002. The interest expense on the advances increased by $38,200 or 11.2% from $340,900 for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 to $379,100 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. The increase in interest on FHLB advances was more than offset by a decrease in interest on deposits of $603,800 or 26.0% from $2.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 to $1.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. Net Interest Income. Net interest income before provision for losses on loans increased by $234,400 or 29.7% from $790,400 for the three months ended September 30, 2001 to $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002. Net interest income increased by $528,800 or 22.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 compared to the same period ended September 30, 2001. The Company's interest rate spread for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 increased by 87 basis points to 3.23% from 2.36% for the nine months ended September 30, 2001.

IMPACT OF NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS - ---------------------------------- SFAS No. 141 & 142 - ------------------ In July 2001, the FASB issued Statement No. 141, Business Combinations, and Statement No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Statement 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 as well as all purchase method business combinations completed after June 30, 2001. Statement 142 requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives no longer be amortized, but instead tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with the provisions of Statement 142. Statement 142 also requires that intangible assets with estimatable useful lives be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values, and reviewed for impairment in accordance with FAS Statement No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 141 as of July 1, 2001 and SFAS No. 142 on January 1, 2002. The effects of implementation had no impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations. SFAS No. 143 & 144 - ------------------ In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations (SFAS No. 143). SFAS No. 143 requires the Company to record the fair value of an asset retirement obligation as a liability in the period in which it incurs a legal obligation associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development, and/or normal use of the assets. The Company also records a corresponding asset which is depreciated over the life of the asset. The Company is required to adopt SFAS No. 143 on January 1, 2003. 8 In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (SFAS No. 144). SFAS No. 144 addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. The Company adopted SFAS No. 144 on January 1, 2002. The effects of implementation were immaterial on the Company's financial condition or results of operations. SFAS No. 145 & 146 - ------------------ SFAS No. 145 "Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections" was issued April 2002. This Statement rescinds FASB Statement No. 4, Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt, and an amendment of that Statement, FASB Statement No. 64, Extinguishments of Debt Made to Satisfy Sinking-Fund Requirements. This Statement also rescinds FASB Statement No. 44, Accounting for Intangible Assets of Motor Carriers. This Statement amends FASB Statement No. 13, Accounting for Leases, to eliminate an inconsistency between the required accounting for sale-leaseback transactions and the required accounting for certain lease modifications that have economic effects that are similar to sale-leaseback transactions. This Statement also amends other existing authoritative pronouncements to make various technical corrections, clarify meanings, or describe their applicability under changed conditions. The provisions of this Statement related to the rescission of Statement 4 shall be applied in fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002. The provisions in paragraphs 8 and 9(c) of this Statement related to Statement 13 shall be effective for transactions occurring after May 15, 2002. All other provisions of this Statement shall be effective for financial statements issued on or after May 15, 2002. The effects of implementation are not material. SFAS No. 146 "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities" was issued June 2002. This Statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)." The provisions of this Statement are effective for exit and disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. SFAS No. 147 - ------------ In September 2002, the FASB issued SFAS 147 Acquisitions of Certain Financial Institutions (SFAS No. 147). SFAS No. 147 changed the special accounting for unidentifiable intangible assets recognized under SFAS No. 72. Transition provisions for previously recognized unidentifiable intangible assets were effective on October 1, 2002. The effects of implementation had no impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.
