Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with instructions to Form 10-QSB and therefore, do not include information or footnotes necessary for fair presentation of financial condition, results of operations and changes in financial position in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (which are normal and recurring in nature) necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year. Note B - Principles of Consolidation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Midland Capital Holdings Corporation (the "Company") and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Midland Federal Savings and Loan Association (the "Association") and the Association's wholly-owned subsidiaries, Midland Service Corporation, MS Insurance Agency, Inc. and Bridgeview Development Company. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Note C - Earnings Per Share Earnings per share for the three month periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 were determined by dividing net income for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding (see Exhibit 11 attached). Stock options are regarded as common stock equivalents and are therefore considered in diluted earnings per share calculations. Common stock equivalents are computed using the treasury stock method. Note D - Industry Segments The Company operates principally in the thrift industry through its subsidiary savings and loan. As such, substantially all of the Company's revenues, net income, identifiable assets and capital expenditures are related to thrift operations. Note E - Effect of New Accounting Pronouncements In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143 "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations". SFAS No. 143 addresses the financial accounting and reporting for obligations related to the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the related asset retirement costs. SFAS No. 143 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. The Company adopted SFAS No. 143 on July 1, 2002 and upon adoption, this pronouncement did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. -5- MIDLAND CAPITAL HOLDINGS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Note E - Effect of New Accounting Pronouncements (continued) In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144 "Accounting for the Impairment and Disposal of Long-Term Assets". This statement supercedes SFAS No. 121 "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of" as well as the accounting and reporting of the Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations - Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions". This statement eliminates the allocation of goodwill to long-lived assets to be tested for impairment and details both a probability-weighted and "primary-asset" approach to estimate cash flows in testing for impairment for long-lived assets. SFAS No. 144 is effective for financial statement issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The Company adopted SFAS No. 144 on July 1, 2002 and upon adoption, this pronouncement did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections". This Statement rescinds SFAS No. 4, "Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt," and an amendment of that Statement, SFAS No. 64 "Extinguishment of Debt Made to Satisfy Sinking-Fund Requirements". This Statement also rescinds SFAS No. 44 "Accounting for Intangible Assets of Motor Carriers". This Statement amended SFAS 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. This Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002. The Company adopted SFAS No. 145 on July 1, 2002 and upon adoption, this pronouncement did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities". 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)". This Statement is effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. Adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements. The foregoing does not constitute a comprehensive summary of all material changes or developments affecting the manner in which the Company keeps its books and records and performs its financial accounting responsibilities. It is intended only as a particular interest to financial institutions. -6- MIDLAND CAPITAL HOLDINGS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS When used in this Form 10-QSB and in future filings by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission, in the Company's press releases or other public or shareholder communications, or in oral statements made with the approval of an authorized executive officer, the words or phrases "would be", "will allow", "intends to", "will likely result", "are expected to", "will continue", "is anticipated", "estimate", "project" or similar expressions are intended to identify "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to changes in economic conditions and real estate values in the Company's market area, changes in policies by regulatory agencies, fluctuations in interest rates, demand for loans in the Company's market area and competition, all or some of which could cause actual results to differ materially from historical earnings and those presently anticipated or projected. The Company wishes to caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made, and advises readers that various factors, including regional and national economic conditions, substantial changes in levels of market interest rates, credit and other risks of lending and investment activities and competitive and regulatory factors, could affect the Company's financial performance and could cause the Company's actual results for future periods to differ materially from those anticipated or projected. The Company does not undertake, and specifically disclaims any obligation, to update any forward-looking statements to reflect occurrences or unanticipated events or circumstances after the date of such statements. GENERAL Midland Capital Holdings Corporation (the "Company") is a Delaware corporation that was organized in 1998 by Midland Federal Savings and Loan Association (the "Association" or "Midland Federal") for the purpose of becoming a thrift institution holding company. The Company and the Association are headquartered in Bridgeview, Illinois. The Association began operations in 1914 as a state-chartered mutual savings institution. In 1982, the Association became a federal mutual savings and loan association. On June 30, 1993, the Association completed a conversion to the stock form of organization. In that conversion, the Association issued 345,000 shares of common stock, raising net proceeds of approximately $3.1 million. On July 23, 1998, the Association became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company by reorganizing the Association into a holding company form of organization. Each outstanding share of common stock of the Association became one share of common stock of the Company. The principal asset of the Company is the outstanding stock of the Association. The Company presently has no separate operations and its business consists only of the business of the Association and its subsidiaries. Midland Federal has been principally engaged in the business of attracting deposits from the general public and using such deposits to originate residential mortgage loans, and to a lesser extent, consumer, multi-family and other loans in its primary market area. The Association also has made substantial investments in mortgage-backed securities, investment securities and liquid assets. Midland Federal also operates a wholly-owned subsidiary, Midland Service Corporation that owns and operates MS Insurance Agency, Inc., a full service retail insurance agency. -7- MIDLAND CAPITAL HOLDINGS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES GENERAL (continued) The Association's primary market area consists of Southwest Chicago, and the southwest suburban communities of Bridgeview, Oak Lawn, Palos Hills, Hickory Hills, Justice, Burbank, Chicago Ridge, Homer Glen, Lockport, Orland Park and Lemont. The Company serves these communities through its main office in Bridgeview, two branch banking offices in southwest Chicago and a third branch banking office in Homer Glen, Illinois. The Association's deposits are insured up to applicable limits by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"). At September 30, 2002, Midland Federal's capital ratios exceeded all of its regulatory capital requirements with both tangible and core capital ratios of 5.85% and a risk-based capital ratio of 12.32%. FINANCIAL CONDITION At September 30, 2002, total assets of the Company increased by $5.4 million to $156.0 million from $150.6 million at June 30, 2002. Loans receivable, including loans available for sale, increased $4.4 million to $90.5 million at September 30, 2002. The Company originated $12.4 million of primarily fixed rate loans during the quarter ended September 30, 2002 compared to loan originations of $11.7 million during the prior year quarter. The higher loan origination volume in the current quarter was due in part to an increase in mortgage refinancing activity as a result of the decline in interest rates that began in January 2001. Offsetting loan originations in the current quarter were loan repayments of $7.1 million as well as loan sales of $929,000. There were no new purchases of mortgage-backed securities during the quarter ended September 30, 2002 and as a result, the balance of mortgage-backed securities decreased by $1.2 million to $9.2 million due to repayments and amortization. The $4.4 million increase in net loans receivable, discussed above, was funded in part by the $1.2 million decrease in mortgage-backed securities as well as a $4.9 million increase in deposits. The balance of investment securities classified as held to maturity decreased by $2.5 million to $7.5 million at September 30, 2002 due to maturities of U.S. Agency securities. Investment securities available for sale remained stable at $6.4 million at September 30, 2002 compared to $6.3 million at June 30, 2002. Gross unrealized gains in the available for sale portfolio were $439,000 at September 30, 2002 compared to gross unrealized gains of $301,000 at June 30, 2002, reflecting the positive impact of lower interest rates. The weighted average remaining term to maturity of the Company's total investment securities portfolio at September 30, 2002 was 1.7 years. In anticipation of an increase in economic activity and upward pressure on interest rates in fiscal 2003, the Company increased the balance of cash and cash equivalents by $4.7 million to $37.6 million at September 30, 2002 from $32.9 million at June 30, 2002. The increase in cash equivalents during the quarter ended September 30, 2002 was partly funded by the proceeds of $2.5 million in maturing U.S. Agency securities, discussed above. Non-performing assets consisted of $648,000 in non-accruing loans at September 30, 2002 compared to $164,000 at June 30, 2002. The allowance for loan losses increased by $16,000 to $366,000 at September 30, 2002 as a result of $15,000 in loan loss provisions and $1,000 in recoveries during the quarter ended September 30, 2002. Non-accruing loans at September 30, 2002 consisted of $620,000 in one-to-four family residential mortgage loans and $28,000 in non-mortgage loans. At September 30, 2002 the Company's ratio of allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans was 56.47% compared to 213.29% at June 30, 2002. Management believes that the current allowance for loan losses is adequate to cover probable accrued losses in the portfolio. -8- MIDLAND CAPITAL HOLDINGS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES FINANCIAL CONDITION (continued) The following table sets forth the amounts and categories of non-performing assets in the Company's portfolio. Loans are placed on non-accrual status when the collection of principal and/or interest becomes doubtful, generally when the loan is delinquent 90 days or more. Foreclosed assets, if any, include assets acquired in settlement of loans.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2002 2001 ---- ---- (Dollars in Thousands) Balance at beginning of period $350 $ 360 Charge-offs: One-to-four family loans -- -- Consumer loans -- -- Commercial business loans -- -- ---- ------- Total charge-offs -- -- ---- ------- Recoveries: One-to-four family loans 1 -- Multi-family loans -- -- Consumer loans -- -- ---- ------- Total recoveries 1 -- ---- ------- Net (charge-offs) recoveries 1 -- Additions charged to operations 15 -- ---- ------- Balance at end of period $366 $ 360 ==== ======= Ratio of net charge-offs during the period to average loans outstanding during the period --% --% Ratio of net charge-offs during the period to average non-performing assets --% --% Allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans 56.47% 108.61% Allowance for loan losses to total loans 0.40% 0.48% The Company was aware of no regulatory directives or suggestions that the Association make additional provisions for losses on loans. Although the Company believes its allowance for loan losses is at a level that it considers to be adequate to provide for possible accrued losses in the portfolio, there can be no assurance that such losses will not exceed the estimated amounts. Deposits for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 increased $4.9 million as a result of interest credited to deposits in the amount of $751,000 as well as actual deposit inflows, net of withdrawals, in the amount of $4.1 million. The net increase in savings deposits is primarily attributed to a $4.7 million increase in certificate of deposit accounts, a $226,000 increase in demand deposit accounts, an $88,000 increase in passbook deposits and a $14,000 increase in NOW accounts offset by a $117,000 decrease in money market accounts. Stockholders' equity increased $247,000, or 2.4%, to $10.6 million at September 30, 2002 from $10.4 million at June 30, 2002. The increase in stockholders' equity was due to net income of $211,000 and an increase in accumulated other comprehensive income of $91,000 offset by the payment of cash dividends in the amount of $55,000. -10- MIDLAND CAPITAL HOLDINGS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The Company had net income of $211,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 compared to net income of $164,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2001. The increase in net income in the current quarter is the result of a $177,000 increase in net interest income and a $19,000 increase in non-interest income offset by a $110,000 increase in non-interest expense, a $15,000 increase in provision for loan losses and a $24,000 increase in income taxes. For a discussion on the increases in both non-interest income and non-interest expense, respectively, see "Non-Interest Income" and "Non-Interest Expense." The increase in net interest income was primarily the result of increases in interest rate spread and net interest margin. For the quarter ended September 30, 2002, interest rate spread and net interest margin increased to 2.98% and 3.22%, respectively, from 2.51% and 2.91% in the prior year quarter. The increases in both interest rate spread and net interest margin were primarily attributed to a decline in the average cost of deposits which more than offset a decline in the average yield earned on interest earning assets as interest costing deposits re-priced more quickly than interest earning assets during a period of declining market interest rates. Interest Income Interest income decreased $202,000, or 9.4%, for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 as compared to the same period last year. The decrease in interest income is primarily attributed to a decrease in the average yield earned on interest earning assets to 5.38% for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 from 6.30% in the prior year quarter. The decrease in the average yield earned on interest earning assets offset an $8.5 million increase in the average balance of interest earning assets to $145.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 compared to $137.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2001. Interest on loans receivable increased $195,000, or 15.1%, for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 from the comparable quarter in 2001. The increase in interest income was primarily attributed to a $15.0 million increase in the average outstanding balance of net loans receivable to $88.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2001 from $73.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2001. The increase in the average outstanding balance of net loans receivable offset a decrease in the average yield earned on loans receivable to 6.72% for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 compared to 7.03% for the quarter ended September 30, 2001. Interest on mortgage-backed securities decreased $130,000, or 48.2%, for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 from the comparable quarter in 2001. The decrease in interest income is attributed to a decrease in the average balance of mortgage-backed securities as well as a decrease in the average yield earned on mortgage-backed securities in the quarter ended September 30, 2002 as compared with the same period last year. For the quarter ended September 30, 2002, the average balance of mortgage-backed securities decreased $6.7 million to $9.5 million from $16.2 million in the prior year quarter. The average yield earned on mortgage-backed securities also decreased to 5.88% for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 from 6.62% for the quarter ended September 30, 2001. The decrease in the average yield earned on mortgage-backed securities was primarily the result of a decrease in the yield earned on the Company's balance of adjustable rate mortgage-backed securities, which re-priced at lower yields as market interest rates decreased between the two quarterly periods. -11- MIDLAND CAPITAL HOLDINGS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Interest Income (continued) Interest earned on investment securities decreased $266,000, or 59.0%, for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 from the quarter ended September 30, 2001. The decrease in interest income is primarily attributed to a $16.3 million decrease in the average outstanding balance of investment securities to $15.1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 from $31.4 million in the prior year quarter. The average yield earned on investment securities also decreased to 4.89% for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 compared to 5.75% for the quarter ended September 30, 2001. Interest earned on interest bearing deposits remained stable at $140,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 compared with the same quarter in 2001 as an increase in the average outstanding balance offset a decrease in the average yield earned on interest bearing deposits. The average outstanding balance of interest bearing deposits increased by $16.5 million to $31.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 from $15.4 million for the prior year quarter. The average yield earned on interest bearing deposits decreased to 1.76% for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 from 3.65% for the quarter ended September 30, 2001. The $16.5 million increase in interest bearing deposits was funded by the $16.3 million decrease in the Company's investment securities portfolio, discussed above. Interest Expense Interest expense decreased $379,000, or 32.6%, for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 compared with the prior year quarter. The decrease in interest expense is attributable to a decrease in the average cost paid on interest costing deposits to 2.40% for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 from 3.80% for the quarter ended September 30, 2001. The decrease in the average cost paid on interest costing deposits was partially offset by an $8.3 million increase in the average outstanding balance of interest costing deposits to $131.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2002 from $122.7 million for the prior year quarter. Provisions for Losses on Loans The Company maintains an allowance for loan losses based upon management's periodic evaluation of probable accrued losses in the portfolio based on known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio, the Company's past loan loss experience, adverse situations that may affect borrowers' ability to repay loans, estimated value of the underlying collateral and current and expected market conditions. The allowance for loan loses totaled $366,000, or .40% of total loans, at September 30, 2002 compared to $350,000, or .41% of total loans, at June 30, 2002. The $16,000 increase in the Company's allowance for loan losses during the current quarter was the result of $1,000 in recoveries and $15,000 in loan loss provisions. The Company incurred no loan charge-offs during the quarter ended September 30, 2002. At September 30, 2002, after consideration of the high concentration of one-to-four family mortgage loans in the loan portfolio, the absence of any loan charge offs and the strong housing market, the $366,000 allowance for loan losses was determined by the Company to be consistent with its policy for the establishment and maintenance of adequate levels of loan loss reserves. Non-Interest Income Non-interest income increased $19,000 to $305,000 in the quarter ended September 30, 2002 as compared to the prior year quarter. The primary factors for the increase in non-interest income in the current quarter were an $11,000 increase in loan fees and service charges, a $4,000 increase in profit on the sale of loans, a $3,000 increase in deposit related fees and a $3,000 increase in commission income. The increase in loan fees and service charges in the current quarter is attributed to an increase in loan origination activity compared to the prior year quarter, as loan originations increased to $12.4 million from $11.7 million, while loan sales amounted to $929,000 during the current quarter compared to $684,000 in the prior year quarter. -12- MIDLAND CAPITAL HOLDINGS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Non-Interest Expense Non-interest expense increased $110,000 to $1.1 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2002 as compared to the prior year quarter. The increase in non-interest expense is primarily the result of a $54,000 increase in staffing costs, a $27,000 increase in computer software and support expense, a $7,000 increase in office occupancy expense and a $6,000 increase in professional fees. The increase in staffing costs is primarily attributed to a $22,000 increase in the cost of employee benefits and a $10,000 increase in loan origination commissions, due to an increase in lending volume. The increase in computer software and support expense is primarily attributed to the conversion to a new computer network operating system during the current quarter. Income Taxes Income taxes increased $24,000 to $109,000 in the quarter ended September 30, 2002 from $85,000 for the same period last year. The increased income tax provision was due primarily to the increase in operating income in the quarter ended September 30, 2002 as compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2001. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company's principal sources of funds are deposits, loan and mortgage backed securities repayments, proceeds from the maturities of investment securities and other funds provided by operations. The Company maintains investments in liquid assets based upon management's assessment of (i) the Company's need for funds, (ii) expected deposit flows, (iii) the yields available on short-term liquid assets and (iv) the objectives of the Company's asset/liability management program. At September 30, 2002 the Company had commitments to originate $6.7 million in single-family mortgage loans and commitments to sell $107,000 in loans. The Company uses its capital resources principally to meet its ongoing commitments to fund maturing certificate of deposits and deposit withdrawals, fund existing and continuing loan commitments, maintain its liquidity and meet operating expenses. The Company considers its liquidity and capital reserves sufficient to meet its outstanding short and long-term needs. The Company expects to be able to fund or refinance, on a timely basis, its material commitments and long-term liabilities. At September 30, 2002, the Association had tangible and core capital of $9.1 million, or 5.85% of adjusted total assets, which was approximately $6.8 million and $4.4 million above the minimum requirements in effect on that date of 1.5% and 3.0%, respectively, of adjusted total assets. At September 30, 2002, the Association had total capital of $9.5 million (including $9.1 million in core capital) and risk-weighted assets of $76.5 million, or total capital of 12.38% of risk-weighted assets. This amount was $3.4 million above the 8.0% requirement in effect on that date. DISCLOSURE AND INTERNAL CONTROLS The Company has adopted interim disclosure controls and procedures designed to facilitate the Company's financial reporting. The interim disclosure controls currently consist of communications between the Chief Executive Officer and each department head to identify any new transactions, events, trends, risks or contingencies which may be material to the Company's operations.
