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 and nine months ended March 31, 2004 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 accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Note C - Earnings Per Share Earnings per share for the three month and nine month periods ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 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 January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46 "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities", which was subsequently replaced by a revised FIN 46 in December 2003. FIN 46 provides new accounting guidance on when to consolidate a variable interest entity. A variable interest entity exists when either the total equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities by itself, or the equity investors lack one of three characteristics associated with owning a controlling financial interest. Those characteristics include the direct or indirect ability to make decisions about an entity's activities through voting rights or similar rights, the obligation to absorb the expected loss of an entity if they occur, and the right to receive the expected residual return of the entity if they occur. FIN 46 is effective for the first reporting period ending after December 15, 2003. Adoption of this Statement 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 April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149 "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". The Statement amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". In general, this Statement should be applied prospectively. Adoption of this Statement did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150 "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity". This Statement established standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. This Statement is effective for financial statements entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after September 15, 2003. Adoption of this Statement did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In November 2003, the FASB ratified a consensus reached by Energizing Issues Task Force ("EITF") in EITF 03-1, "The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments," which is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2003. The consensus requires certain qualitative and quantitative disclosures for debt and marketable equity securities classified as available-for-sale or held-to-maturity under SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" that are impaired at the balance sheet date but for which an other-than-temporary impairment has not been recognized. The Company believes there are no disclosures currently required that would have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In December 2003, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("AICPA") released Statement of Position 03-3, "Accounting for Certain Loans or Debt Securities Acquired in a Transfer" ("SOP 03-3"). SOP 03-3 addresses accounting for differences between contractual cash flows and cash flows expected to be collected from an investor's initial investment in loans or debt securities acquired in a transfer if those differences are attributable to credit quality. SOP 03-3 is effective for loans acquired in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2004. Adoption of this Statement is not expected to have a material impact 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 Item 2. 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 for the purpose of becoming the thrift holding company for Midland Federal Savings and Loan Association (the "Association" or "Midland Federal"). The Association converted from a federal mutual savings and loan association to a federal stock savings and loan association on June 30, 1993 (the "Conversion"). In the Conversion, 345,000 shares of common stock, par value of $.01 per share, of the Association were sold in an initial public offering for an aggregate consideration of $3.45 million. On July 23, 1998, as a result of a reorganization, the Association became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and each outstanding share of common stock of the Association became, by operation of law, one share of common stock of the Company. At March 31, 2004 there were 372,600 shares of the Company's common stock outstanding. 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, multi-family, consumer and other loans in its primary market area. The Association also invests in mortgage-backed securities, investment securities and liquid assets in an effort to supplement loan production and manage interest rate risk. 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 March 31, 2004, Midland Federal's capital ratios exceeded all of its regulatory capital requirements with both tangible and core capital ratios of 6.73% and a risk-based capital ratio of 13.07%. FINANCIAL CONDITION At March 31, 2004, total assets of the Company decreased by $6.6 million to $153.4 million from $160.0 million at June 30, 2003. Loans receivable, including loans held for sale, decreased $571,000 to $92.7 million at March 31, 2004. The Company originated $33.8 million of primarily fixed rate loans during the nine months ended March 31, 2004 compared to loan originations of $39.0 million during the prior year period. Approximately $4.5 million, or 13%, of the Company's loan originations during the nine months ended March 31, 2004 were adjustable rate mortgage loans and approximately $11.1 million, or 41%, of the Company's fixed rate mortgage loan originations had original term to maturities of 15 years or less. Offsetting loan originations in the current period were loan repayments of $33.2 million as well as loan sales of $1.4 million. There were no new purchases of mortgage-backed securities during the nine months ended March 31, 2004 and the balance of mortgage-backed securities decreased by $2.5 million to $3.8 million due to repayments. The balance of investment securities available for sale decreased $5.1 million to $1.3 million at March 31, 2004 compared to $6.4 million at June 30, 2003 due to the maturity of $5.0 million in securities. Gross unrealized gains in the available for sale portfolio were $337,000 at March 31, 2004 compared to gross unrealized gains of $409,000 at June 30, 2003, reflecting the negative impact of higher interest rates and to a lesser extent the maturity of $5.0 million of investment securities available for sale. In response to the increase in economic activity and in anticipation of upward pressure on interest rates in 2004, the Company increased its balance of cash and cash equivalents by $1.7 million to $51.1 million at March 31, 2004 from $49.4 million at June 30, 2003 and did not purchase additional fixed rate securities. Non-performing assets consisted of $133,000 in non-accruing loans at March 31, 2004 compared to $482,000 at June 30, 2003. The allowance for loan losses increased by $27,000 to $437,000, or 0.47% of total loans, at March 31, 2004 compared to $410,000, or .44% of total loans, at June 30, 2003. The $27,000 increase in the allowance for loan losses during the nine months ended March 31, 2004 was the result of $45,000 in loan loss provisions offset by $18,000 in net loan charge offs. At March 31, 2004 the Company's ratio of allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans was 327.58% compared to 84.80% at June 30, 2003. 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 interest becomes doubtful, generally when the loan is delinquent 90 days or more. Foreclosed assets, if any, include assets acquired in settlement of loans. March 31, June 30, 2004 2003 --------- -------- (Dollars in Thousands) Non-Accruing Loans: One-to-four family $132 472 Multi-family -- -- Consumer 1 10 Commercial business -- -- ---- ---- Total non-performing loans $133 $482 ---- ---- Foreclosed Assets: One-to-four family -- -- ---- ---- Total foreclosed assets -- -- ---- ---- Total non-performing assets $133 $482 ==== ==== Total as a percentage of total assets 0.09% 0.30% ==== ==== As of March 31, 2004, there were no loans not included in the above table where known information about the possible credit problems of borrowers caused management to have serious doubts as to the ability of the borrower to comply with present loan repayment terms and which may result in disclosure of such loans in the future. -9- MIDLAND CAPITAL HOLDINGS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES FINANCIAL CONDITION (continued) The following table sets forth an analysis of the Company's allowance for loan losses. Nine Months Ended March 31, 2004 2003 ----- ----- (Dollars in Thousands) Balance at beginning of period $ 410 $ 350 ----- ----- Charge-offs: One-to-four family loans -- -- Consumer loans 10 2 Commercial business loans 8 -- ----- ----- Total charge-offs 18 2 ----- ----- Recoveries: One-to-four family loans -- 1 Multi-family loans -- -- Consumer loans -- -- ----- ----- Total recoveries -- 1 ----- ----- Net (charge-offs) recoveries (18) (1) Additions charged to operations 45 45 ----- ----- Balance at end of period $ 437 $ 394 ===== ===== Ratio of net charge-offs during the period to average loans outstanding during the period .02% .00% Ratio of net charge-offs during the period to average non-performing assets 5.34% .10% Allowance for loan losses to non-performing loans 327.58% 66.19% Allowance for loan losses to total loans 0.47% 0.43% 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. Total deposits decreased $6.9 million to $140.6 million at March 31, 2004 from $147.5 million at June 30, 2003. The decrease in deposits is the result of withdrawals, net of deposits, in the amount of $8.2 million offset by interest credited to deposits in the amount of $1.3 million. The net decrease in savings deposits is primarily attributed to a $7.0 million decrease in certificate of deposit accounts, a $1.4 million decrease in NOW account deposits and a $256,000 decrease in demand deposits offset by a $1.5 million increase in passbook deposit accounts and a $253,000 increase in money market deposit accounts. The decrease in certificate of deposit accounts is primarily attributed to increased competition for such deposits as well as management's view that current asset yields did not justify aggressive deposit pricing. Stockholders' equity increased $620,000, or 5.6%, to $11.68 million at March 31, 2004 from $11.06 million at June 30, 2003. The increase in stockholders' equity was due to net income of $857,000 offset by a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income of $47,000 and the payment of cash dividends in the amount of $190,000. -10- MIDLAND CAPITAL HOLDINGS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The Company had net income of $193,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 compared to net income of $178,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2003. The increase in net income in the current quarter is the result of an $18,000 increase in non-interest income and a $16,000 decrease in non-interest expense offset by an $11,000 decrease in net interest income and an $8,000 increase in income taxes. The increase in non-interest income was the result of an $87,000 gain on the sale of a non-performing loan, without recourse. The decrease in net interest income was the result of the collection of $15,000 in non-accruing loan interest in the prior year quarter under the terms of a loan workout agreement that was paid in full during the quarter ended September 30, 2003. For the nine months ended March 31, 2004 the Company had net income of $858,000 compared to net income of $560,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2003. The increase in net income in the current nine month period is the result of a $49,000 increase in net interest income and a $446,000 increase in non-interest income, which offset a $43,000 increase in non-interest expense and a $154,000 increase in income taxes. The increase in net interest income was the result of the collection of non-accruing loan interest during the current period in the amount of $216,000 from the payment in full of the loan workout agreement, discussed above. Net interest income in the prior year period also included the collection of non-accruing loan interest in the amount of $57,000 from the same loan workout agreement. The increase in non-interest income in the current nine month period was primarily due to payments received under the terms of the loan workout agreement, discussed above. For a discussion on the increases in both non-interest income and non-interest expense, respectively, see "Non-Interest Income" and "Non-Interest Expense." Net of the collection of non-accruing loan interest, discussed above, the Company's interest rate spread increased to 2.96% for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 from 2.83% for the prior year quarter. The average balance of net earning assets (average interest earning assets minus average interest bearing liabilities) also increased in the quarter ended March 31, 2004 by $1.3 million to $16.3 million compared with the prior year period. For the nine months ended March 31, 2004, net of the collection of non-accruing loan interest, discussed above, interest rate spread decreased to 2.79% compared to 2.84% in the prior year nine month period. Interest rate spread declined in the nine months ended March 31, 2004 compared with the prior year period as a result of high mortgage refinancing activity at lower market interest rates and the maturity of investment securities which were not replaced in anticipation of higher interest rates. The average balance of net earning assets in the nine months ended March 31, 2004 increased by $1.6 million to $16.2 million compared with the prior year period. Interest Income Interest income decreased $239,000, or 13.5%, for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 compared with the prior year quarter (a decrease of $224,000 net of the collection of non-accruing loan interest in the prior year period). The decrease in interest income was the result of a decrease in the average yield earned on interest earning assets to 4.18% for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 compared to 4.69% in the year earlier period, net of the collection of non-accruing loan interest, discussed above. The average outstanding balance of interest earning assets also decreased $3.1 million to $147.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 as compared with the prior year period. -11- MIDLAND CAPITAL HOLDINGS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Interest Income (continued) For the nine months ended March 31, 2004, interest income decreased $760,000, or 13.6%, from the 2003 period (a decrease of $919,000 net of the collection of non-accruing loan interest in both periods). The decrease in interest income for the current nine month period was the result of a decrease in the average yield earned on interest earning assets. Net of the collection of non-accruing loan interest in both periods, discussed above, the average yield on interest earning assets decreased to 4.15% compared to 4.99% for the year earlier period. The decrease in the average yield earned on interest earning assets offset a $538,000 increase in the average outstanding balance of interest earning assets to $148.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2004 from $148.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2003. Interest on loans receivable decreased $88,000, or 6.2%, in the quarter ended March 31, 2004, compared with the prior year quarter (a decrease of $73,000 net of the collection of non-accruing loan interest in the prior year period), as a result of a decrease in the average yield earned on net loans receivable. Net of the collection of non-accruing loan interest, the average yield earned on loans receivable decreased to 5.74% for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 as compared to 6.21% for the prior year quarter. The decrease in the average yield earned on net loans receivable was primarily the result of prepayments of higher yielding loans combined with loan origination activity at lower mortgage interest rates. The decrease in the average yield on loans receivable was offset in part by a $2.3 million increase in the average outstanding balance of net loans receivable to $93.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 from $91.2 million for the prior year quarter. Interest on mortgage-backed securities decreased $56,000, or 54.3%, for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 from the comparable quarter in 2003. The decrease in interest income is attributed to a decrease in the average balance of mortgage-backed securities due to repayments as well as a decrease in the average yield earned on mortgage-backed securities. For the quarter ended March 31, 2004, the average balance of mortgage-backed securities decreased $3.4 million to $4.0 million from $7.4 million in the prior year quarter. The average yield earned on mortgage-backed securities also decreased to 4.70% for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 from 5.52% for the quarter ended March 31, 2003. 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. Interest earned on investment securities decreased $90,000, or 82.6%, for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 from the prior year period due to an $8.8 million decrease in the average outstanding balance of investment securities to $1.3 million from $10.1 million in the 2003 quarter. The average yield earned on investment securities increased to 5.83% for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 from 4.30% in the year earlier period as shorter term securities within the investment securities portfolio matured and were not replaced. -12- MIDLAND CAPITAL HOLDINGS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Interest Income (continued) Interest earned on interest bearing deposits decreased $10,000, or 8.6%, for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 from the same quarter in 2003. The decrease in interest income is attributed to a decrease in the average yield earned on interest bearing deposits. For the quarter ended March 31, 2004, the average yield earned on interest bearing deposits decreased to 0.94% from 1.20% for the quarter ended March 31, 2003. The decrease in the average yield earned on interest bearing deposits was offset by a $6.7 million increase in the average balance of interest bearing deposits to $47.2 million from $40.5 million in the 2003 quarter. The $6.7 million increase in the average balance of interest bearing deposits was primarily funded by the $8.8 million decrease in the average balance of investment securities, discussed above. The Company increased its average balance of interest bearing deposits in anticipation of an increase in economic activity and interest rates in 2004. For the nine months ended March 31, 2004 interest on loans receivable decreased $182,000, or 4.2%, compared with the prior year period (a decrease of $342,000 net of the collection of non-accruing loan interest in both periods), as a result of a decrease in the average yield earned on net loans receivable. Net of the collection of non-accruing loan interest in both periods, discussed above, the average yield earned on loans receivable decreased to 5.69% for the nine months ended March 31, 2004 as compared to 6.37% for the prior year period. The decrease in the average yield on loans receivable was offset in part by a $2.7 million increase in the average outstanding balance of net loans receivable to $93.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2004. For the nine months ended March 31, 2004 interest earned on mortgage backed securities decreased $194,000 to $167,000. The decrease in interest income is attributed to a decrease in the average outstanding balance of mortgage-backed securities as well as a decrease in the average yield earned on mortgage-backed securities. The average outstanding balance of mortgage-backed securities decreased by $3.9 million to $4.6 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2004 from $8.5 million in the 2003 period. The average yield earned on mortgage-backed securities also decreased to 4.83% for the nine months ended March 31, 2004 from 5.68% for the comparable prior year period. For the nine months ended March 31, 2004 interest earned on investment securities decreased $340,000 to $99,000 from $439,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2003. The decrease in interest income is attributed to a $9.7 million decrease in the average outstanding balance of investment securities to $2.9 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2004 from $12.6 million in the 2003 period. The decrease in the average outstanding balance of investment securities was offset by an increase in the average yield earned on investment securities to 4.94% for the nine months ended March 31, 2004 from 4.59% in the comparable prior year period as shorter term securities matured and were not replaced. For the nine months ended March 31, 2004 interest earned on interest bearing deposits decreased $57,000 from the year earlier period. The decrease in interest income was primarily due to a decrease in the average yield earned on interest bearing deposits to 0.95% for the nine months ended March 31, 2004 from 1.49% for the prior year period. The decrease in the average yield earned on interest bearing deposits was offset by an $11.2 million increase in the average outstanding balance of interest bearing deposits to $47.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2004 from $35.8 million for the comparable prior year period. -13- MIDLAND CAPITAL HOLDINGS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Interest Expense Interest expense decreased $228,000, or 36.4%, for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 compared with the prior year quarter. The decrease in interest expense is primarily attributable to a decrease in the average yield paid on interest costing deposits to 1.22% for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 from 1.85% for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 due to a general decline in interest rates as well as a reduction in the proportion of the Company's deposits represented by certificate of deposit accounts. The average outstanding balance of interest costing deposits also decreased by $4.5 million to $130.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 from $135.1 million for the prior year quarter. For the nine months ended March 31, 2004 interest expense decreased $808,000 to $1.3 million from $2.1 million for the prior year period. The decrease in interest expense was the result of a decrease in the average yield paid on interest costing deposits to 1.36% for current year period from 2.16% in the prior year period. The average outstanding balance of interest costing deposits also decreased by $1.1 million to $132.4 million for the current period from $133.5 million for the year earlier period. 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 losses totaled $437,000, or .47% of total loans, at March 31, 2004 compared to $410,000, or .44% of total loans, at June 30, 2003. The $27,000 increase in the Company's allowance for loan losses during the current nine month period was the result of $45,000 in loan loss provisions net of $18,000 in charge offs. At March 31, 2004, after consideration of the high concentration of one-to-four family mortgage loans in the loan portfolio, peer data, current economic conditions, trends in the portfolio, the low level of loan charge offs and the strong housing market, the $437,000 allowance for loan losses was determined by the Company to be sufficient to cover probable accrued losses in the loan portfolio consistent with its policy for the establishment and maintenance of adequate levels of loan loss reserves. Non-Interest Income Non-interest income increased $18,000 to $285,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 2004 from $267,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 2003. The primary factors for the increase in non-interest income in the current quarter was an $87,000 gain from the sale of a non-performing loan, without recourse, which offset a $60,000 decrease in loan fees and service charges and a $13,000 decrease in deposit related fees. The decrease in loan fees and service charges is attributed to a decrease in loan origination activity as loan originations decreased to $4.8 million in the current quarter from $11.5 million in the prior year quarter. For the nine months ended March 31, 2004 non-interest income increased $446,000 to $1.34 million from $891,000 in the prior year period. The increase in non-interest income in the current nine month period compared with the prior year period is primarily attributed to a $433,000 gain on the satisfaction of foreclosure judgments resulting from the payment in full of the loan workout agreement, discussed above, and the $87,000 gain from the non-performing loan sale. Non-interest income decreased in the nine months ended March 31, 2004 due to a $58,000 decrease in loans fees and service charges, a $28,000 decrease in deposit related fees and a $3,000 decrease in commission income. The decrease in loan fees and service charges in the nine month period ended March 31, 2004 is attributed to a decrease in loan origination activity compared to the prior year period. -14- MIDLAND CAPITAL HOLDINGS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Non-Interest Expense Non-interest expense decreased $16,000 to $1.11 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2004 compared to the prior year quarter. The decrease in non-interest expense is primarily the result of a $25,000 decrease in office occupancy expense offset by a $5,000 increase in staffing costs, a $2,000 increase in advertising expense and a $1,000 increase in data processing fees. The increase in staffing costs is primarily attributed to a $36,000 increase in costs for employee medical and pension benefits offset by a $32,000 decrease in loan origination commissions, due to a decrease in lending volume. For the nine months ended March 31, 2004 non-interest expense increased $43,000 to $3.48 million from $3.44 million in the prior year period. The primary factors for the increase in non-interest expense in the current nine month period were a $69,000 increase in staffing costs, a $9,000 increase in advertising expense, an $8,000 increase in professional fees and a $6,000 increase in data processing fees. Non-interest expense was decreased in the nine months ended March 31, 2004 as a result of a $30,000 decrease in computer software and support expense and a $20,000 decrease in office occupancy expense. The increase in staffing costs is primarily attributed to a $70,000 increase in costs for employee medical and pension benefits offset by a $24,000 decrease in loan origination commissions compared with the prior year period. Income Taxes Income taxes increased $8,000 to $99,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 2004 from $91,000 for the prior year quarter as a result of an increase in operating income from the prior year quarter. For the nine months ended March 31, 2004 income taxes increased $153,000 to $442,000 compared to $288,000 in the prior year period. The effective income tax rate in all periods presented was 34.0%. 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 March 31, 2004 the Company had commitments to originate $3.2 million in one-to-four family loans and $25,000 in commercial loans. On the same date, the Company had $42.5 million of certificate of deposit accounts maturing within one year. Based upon historical experience, the Company expects most of these certificate of deposit accounts to remain with the Association. 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 March 31, 2004, the Association had tangible and core capital of $10.3 million, or 6.73% of adjusted total assets, which was approximately $8.0 million and $5.7 million above the minimum requirements in effect on that date of 1.5% and 3.0%, respectively, of adjusted total assets. At March 31, 2004, the Association had total capital of $10.7 million (including $10.3 million in core capital) and risk-weighted assets of $82.2 million, or total capital of 13.07% of risk-weighted assets. This amount was $4.2 million above the 8.0% requirement in effect on that date. -15- MIDLAND CAPITAL HOLDINGS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Item 3.
