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 and six months ended December 31, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results which 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 - Stock Conversion and Holding Company Reorganization On June 30, 1993, the Association completed a conversion to the stock form of organization with the sale of 345,000 shares of $.01 par value common stock at $10.00 per share. On March 19, 1998, the Board of Directors of the Association adopted a proposal to reorganize the Association into a holding company form of organization in accordance with a Merger Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the "Reorganization"). The Reorganization was approved by the Association's shareholders on July 15, 1998 and became effective on July 23, 1998. As a result of the Reorganization, the Association became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Midland Capital Holdings Corporation, a newly formed Delaware Corporation, and each outstanding share of common stock of the Association became, by operation of law, one share of common stock of Midland Capital Holdings Corporation. Midland Capital Holdings Corporation operates as a unitary thrift holding company. Note D - Earnings Per Share Earnings per share for the three month and six month periods ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 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 E - 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. -5- MIDLAND CAPITAL HOLDINGS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) Note F - Effect of New Accounting Standards In June 1998, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 ("SFAS 133"), entitled "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", which is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. SFAS 133 requires all derivatives to be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. It also establishes "special accounting" for hedges of changes in the fair value of assets, liabilities, or firm commitments (fair value hedges), hedges of the variable cash flows of forecasted transactions (cash flow hedges), and hedges of foreign currency exposures of net investments in foreign operations. To the extent the hedge is considered highly effective, both the change in the fair value of the derivative and the change in the fair value of the hedged item are recognized (offset) in earnings in the same period. Changes in fair value of derivatives that do not meet the criteria of one of these three hedge categories are included in income. In September 1999, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 137 ("SFAS 137"), entitled "Accounting for Derivative Instruments in Hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statements no. 133". SFAS 137 defers the effective date of SFAS 133 from years beginning after June 15, 1999 to all fiscal quarters of all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. Management does not believe that adoption of SFAS 133 will have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial condition or results of operations. The foregoing does not constitute a comprehensive summary of all material changes or development affecting the manner in which the Company keeps its books and records and performs its financial accounting responsibilities. It is intended only as a summary of some of the recent pronouncements made by the FASB which are of particular interest to financial institutions. -6- MIDLAND CAPITAL HOLDINGS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS GENERAL Midland Capital Holdings Corporation (the "Company") is a Delaware corporation which 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. All references to the Company, unless otherwise indicated, at or before July 23, 1998 refer to the Association. 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. 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, 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 Township, Illinois. The Association's deposits are insured up to applicable limits by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"). At December 31, 1999, Midland Federal's capital ratios exceeded all of its regulatory capital requirements with both tangible and core capital ratios of 6.28% and a risk-based capital ratio of 20.52%. Forward Looking Statements When used in this Form 10-QSB and in future filings by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), in the Company's press releases or other public or shareholder communications, and in oral statements made with the approval of an authorized executive officer, the words or phrases "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 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 are subject to the above-stated qualifications in any event. -7- MIDLAND CAPITAL HOLDINGS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES The Company wishes to advise readers that the factors listed above could affect the Company's financial performance and could cause the Company's actual results for future periods to differ materially from any opinions or statements expressed with respect to future periods in any current statements. FINANCIAL CONDITION During the six months ended December 31, 1999, total assets of the Company increased by $10.3 million to $140.5 million from $130.2 million at June 30, 1999. Net loans receivable and loans available for sale increased $601,000 to $50.0 million at December 31, 1999 as loan disbursements of $6.8 million more than offset loan repayments of $3.7 million and loan sales of $2.5 million. The balance of mortgage-backed securities increased by $7.6 million to $23.5 million as a result of purchases of mortgage-backed securities in the amount of $10.0 million, which exceeded repayments of mortgage-backed securities in the amount of $2.4 million during the six months ended December 31, 1999. The balance of cash and cash equivalents increased by $2.6 million to $37.7 million at December 31, 1999. The increase in mortgage-backed securities as well as the increase in cash and cash equivalents was primarily funded by an increase in deposits in the amount of $10.3 million to $130.4 million at December 31, 1999. The balance of investment securities remained relatively unchanged at $25.0 million during the six months ended December 31, 1999. The weighted average remaining maturity of the Company's investment securities portfolio at December 31, 1999 was 2.0 years. As discussed above, deposits for the six months ended December 31, 1999 increased $10.3 million as deposit activity of $212.9 million and interest credited to deposits in the amount of $2.3 million exceeded withdrawal activity of $204.9 million. The net increase in savings deposits is attributed to a $10.6 million increase in certificate of deposit accounts and a $1.2 million increase in transaction deposits including money market accounts offset by a $1.5 million decrease in passbook accounts. The net increase in savings deposits is primarily attributed to aggressive pricing and promotion of certificate of deposit rates at the Company's new branch banking office in Homer Township, Illinois. Total stockholders' equity for the six months ended December 31, 1999 increased by $22,000 to $9.0 million primarily as a result of earnings in the amount of $131,000 and a $16,000 reduction in the unamortized cost of the Association's Bank Incentive Plan offset by a $74,000 market adjustment from securities available for sale, net of income taxes, and dividends paid on common stock in the amount of $54,000. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The Company had net income of $83,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 1999 compared to net income of $85,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 1998. The decline in net income in the current quarter is the result of a $54,000 decrease in non-interest income and a $35,000 increase in non-interest expense offset by an $84,000 increase in net interest income and a $3,000 decrease in income taxes. For the six months ended December 31, 1999 the Company had net income of $131,000 compared to net income of $228,000 for the six months ended December 31, 1998. The decline in net income in the current six month period is the result of a $170,000 decrease in non-interest income and a $92,000 increase in non-interest expense offset by a $113,000 increase in net interest income and a $52,000 decrease in income taxes. For a discussion on the decrease in non-interest income and the increase in non-interest expense that occurred in both the three and six month periods ended December 31, 1999, see "Non-Interest Income" and "Non-Interest Expense." -8- MIDLAND CAPITAL HOLDINGS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued) The increase in net-interest income in both the three and six month periods ended December 31, 1999 was primarily the result of an increase in the average balance of interest earning assets in both periods. For the three months ended December 31, 1999 the average balance of interest earning assets increased $18.6 million to $133.1 million from $114.5 million during the same period last year, and for the six months ended December 31, 1999, the average balance of interest earning assets increased $18.5 million to $132.2 million from $113.7 million in the prior year period. The increase in the average balance of interest earning assets in both the three and six months ended December 31, 1999 was funded by an increase in deposit liabilities that occurred between the current and the prior year periods. The increases in the average balance of interest earning assets in both the three and six month periods ended December 31, 1999 offset decreases in net interest margin and interest rate spread that also occurred in both periods. Net interest margin and interest rate spread decreased to 2.55% and 2.50%, respectively for the three months ended December 31, 1999 from 2.67% and 2.60%, respectively, for the three months ended December 31, 1999. For the six months ended December 31, 1999 net interest margin and interest rate spread decreased to 2.52% and 2.46%, respectively, compared to 2.73% and 2.64%, respectively, in the prior year six month period. The declines in net interest margin and interest rate spread that occurred in both the three and six month periods ended December 31, 1999, compared with the prior year periods, were attributed to lower yields in the Company's loan and securities portfolios as well as a higher percentage of certificate of deposits within the Company's deposit liability mix. The ratio of average interest earning assets to average interest bearing liabilities also decreased in both the three and six month periods ended December 31, 1999 to 108.86% and 110.43%, respectively, from 109.31% and 110.85%, respectively, in the prior year periods. Interest Income Interest income increased $287,000, or 15.7%, for the quarter ended December 31, 1999 from the comparable year earlier period. The increase in interest income was primarily the result of an $18.6 million increase in the average outstanding balance of interest earning assets, discussed above, which was partially offset by a decrease in the average yield earned on interest earning assets to 6.36% for the quarter ended December 31, 1999 compared to 6.39% in the year earlier period. For the six months ended December 31, 1999 interest income increased $442,000 or 12.0% from the 1998 period. The increase in interest income for the current six month period was the result of an $18.5 million increase in the average outstanding balance of interest earning assets, discussed above, offset by a decrease in the average yield earned on interest earning assets to 6.23% from 6.47% in the 1998 period. Interest on loans receivable increased $76,000, or 9.2%, in the quarter ended December 31, 1999, compared with the prior year quarter, as a result of an increase in the average outstanding balance of net loans receivable to $50.1 million from $45.0 million in the 1998 quarter. The increase in the average outstanding balance of net loans receivable offset a decrease in the average yield earned on net loans receivable to 7.28% for the quarter ended December 31, 1999 from 7.43% for the prior year quarter. The decline in the average yield earned on net loans receivable was primarily the result of lending activity that occurred at lower market interest rates between the current and prior year periods. -9- MIDLAND CAPITAL HOLDINGS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Interest Income (continued) Interest on mortgage-backed securities increased $62,000, or 19.3%, for the quarter ended December 31, 1999 from the year earlier period. The increase in interest income was the result of a $4.5 million increase in the average outstanding balance of mortgage-backed securities to $23.8 million for the quarter ended December 31, 1999 from $19.3 million for the comparable prior year period. The increase in the average outstanding balance of mortgage-backed securities offset a decline in the average yield earned on mortgage-backed securities to 6.45% from 6.67% in the 1998 quarter. Interest earned on investment securities increased $42,000, or 13.9%, for the quarter ended December 31, 1999 from the prior year period due to a $3.8 million increase in the average outstanding balance of investment securities to $25.0 million from $21.2 million in the 1998 quarter. The increase in the average outstanding balance of investment securities offset a decline in the average yield earned on investment securities to 5.51% for the quarter ended December 31, 1999 from 5.70% in the year earlier period. Interest earned on interest bearing deposits increased $104,000, or 29.1%, for the quarter ended December 31, 1999 from the year earlier period. The increase in interest income was the result of an increase in both the average outstanding balance of interest bearing deposits as well as the average yield earned on interest bearing deposits. For the quarter ended December 31, 1999, the average outstanding balance of interest bearing deposits increased $5.1 million to $33.6 million from $28.5 million in the 1998 quarter and the average yield earned on interest bearing deposits increased to 5.51% from 5.04% in the year earlier period. For the six months ended December 31, 1999 interest on loans receivable increased $174,000 from the comparable prior year period. The increase in interest income was due to a $6.3 million increase in the average outstanding balance of loans receivable to $49.7 million from $43.4 million for the six months ended December 31, 1998. The $6.3 million increase in the average outstanding balance of loans receivable offset a decrease in the average yield earned on loans receivable to 7.27% for the six months ended December 31, 1999 from 7.54% in the prior year period. The growth in the Company's loan portfolio is attributed to direct marketing of the Company's loan products. For the six months ended December 31, 1999 interest earned on mortgage backed securities increased $4,000 to $669,000. The primary factor for the increase in interest income was a $951,000 increase in the average outstanding balance of mortgage-backed securities to $20.9 million for the six months ended December 31, 1999 from $19.9 million for the comparable prior year period. The increase in the average outstanding balance of mortgage-backed securities offset a decline in the average yield earned on mortgage-backed securities to 6.40% for the six months ended December 31, 1999 from 6.67% in the 1998 period. For the six months ended December 31, 1999 interest earned on investment securities increased $78,000 to $690,000 from $612,000 for the six months ended December 31, 1998. The primary factor for the increase in interest income was a $3.8 million increase in the average outstanding balance of investment securities to $25.0 million for the six months ended December 31, 1999 from $21.2 million for the prior year period. The increase in the average outstanding balance of investment securities was offset by a decrease the average yield earned on investment securities to 5.51% for the six months ended December 31, 1999 from 5.76% in the comparable prior year period. The decrease in the average yield on the Association's investment securities was the result of lower reinvestment yields on maturing investment securities with the same original terms to maturity. -10- MIDLAND CAPITAL HOLDINGS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Interest Income (continued) For the six months ended December 31, 1999 interest earned on interest bearing deposits increased $182,000 to $930,000 from $748,000 for the year earlier period. The increase in interest income is primarily attributed to a $7.3 million increase in the average outstanding balance of interest bearing deposits to $35.9 million for the current six month period from $28.6 million for the year earlier period. The increase in the average outstanding balance of interest bearing deposits more than offset a decrease in the average yield earned on interest bearing deposits to 5.20% for the six months ended December 31, 1999 from 5.24% in the year earlier period. The Company has historically maintained a relatively high level of cash equivalents and other short term investments in an attempt to control interest rate risk. Interest Expense Interest expense increased $204,000, or 19.2%, for the quarter ended December 31, 1999 compared to the prior year quarter. The increase in interest expense was the result of an $18.6 million increase in the average balance of interest costing deposits to $122.3 million in the current year period from $103.7 million in the prior year period. The average yield paid on interest costing deposits also increased slightly to 4.15% in the current year period from 4.11% in the 1998 quarter. For the six months ended December 31, 1999 interest expense increased $330,000, or 15.5%, from the prior year period. This increase in interest expense was the result of an $18.4 million increase in the average outstanding balance of interest costing deposits to $121.0 million for the current period from $102.6 million for the year earlier period. The increase in the average outstanding balance of interest costing deposits was offset by a decrease in the average yield paid on interest costing deposits to 4.06% for current year period from 4.14% in the prior year period. Provisions for Losses on Loans The Company maintains an allowance for loan losses based upon management's periodic evaluation of known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio, 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 Company made no provisions for loan losses out of income in either period based upon the absence of any specific asset quality problems, the current level of general loan loss reserves and management's assessment of the inherent risks in the loan portfolio. Non-performing loans, net of specific reserves, decreased to $108,000 at December 31, 1999 and consisted of $57,000 in one single family residential mortgage loan, $38,000 in one multi-family residential mortgage loan and $13,000 in non-mortgage loans. At December 31, 1999, general loan loss reserves totaled $184,000, which amount was .74% of total loans and 170.94% of net non-performing loans. At December 31, 1999, 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 potential losses, there can be no assurance that such losses will not exceed the estimated amounts. -11- MIDLAND CAPITAL HOLDINGS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES Non-Interest Income Non-interest income decreased $54,000 to $221,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 1999 from $275,000 for the prior year quarter. The decrease in non-interest income was due primarily to a $39,000 decrease in loan fees and service charges, a combined $16,000 decrease in rental revenue and profit from real estate owned operations and sales and a $5,000 decrease in commission income offset by a $4,000 increase in profit on the sale of loans. The decrease in loan fees and service charges was attributed to a decline in loan origination activity caused by higher market interest rates. For the six months ended December 31, 1999 non-interest income decreased $170,000 to $452,000 from $622,000 in the year earlier period. The decrease in non-interest income in the current six month period is primarily the result of an $87,000 decrease in loan fees and service charges, a combined $39,000 decrease in rental revenue and profit from real estate owned operations and sales, a $27,000 decrease in commission income and a $13,000 decrease in deposit related fees compared with the prior year period. Non-Interest Expense Non-interest expense increased $35,000 to $944,000 in the quarter ended December 31, 1999 compared to $909,000 in the 1998 quarter. The increase in non-interest expense in the current quarter is primarily the result of a $66,000 increase in office occupancy and equipment expenses and a $15,000 increase in advertising expense. These increases in non-interest expense were offset by a $36,000 decrease in staffing costs, a $6,000 decrease in data processing fees and a $6,000 decrease in other operating expenses. For the six months ended December 31, 1999 non-interest expense increased $92,000 to $1.9 million from $1.8 million in the prior year period. The primary factors for the increase in non-interest expense in the current six month period were a $126,000 increase in occupancy and equipment expense and a $30,000 increase in advertising expenses, offset by a $31,000 decrease in staffing costs, a $29,000 decrease in data processing fees and a $6,000 decrease in other operating expenses, compared with the prior year period. Both the increases in office occupancy and advertising expenses in the three and six month periods ended December 31, 1999 were the result of the operations of the Company's new full service branch banking facility in Homer Township, Illinois, which opened for business in April 1999. The decrease in data processing fees in both current year periods was the result of the elimination of a $38,000 de-conversion fee incurred in the quarter ended December 31, 1998 when the Company converted its on-line data processing systems to another service provider. Income Taxes Income taxes decreased to $42,000 in the quarter ended December 31, 1999 from $45,000 for the prior year quarter. For the six months ended December 31, 1999 income taxes decreased to $66,000 compared to $118,000 in the prior year period. The decreased income tax provision was due primarily to the decrease in operating income in both periods as compared to the prior year periods. -12- MIDLAND CAPITAL HOLDINGS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES 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. In addition, the Association may borrow funds from the FHLB of Chicago. 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. The OTS requires members of the FHLB system to maintain minimum levels of liquid assets. OTS regulations currently require the Association to maintain an average daily balance of liquid assets equal to at least 4% of the sum of its average daily balance of net withdrawable deposit accounts and borrowings payable in one year or less. At December 31, 1999, the Association's regulatory liquidity ratio was 53.1%. The Company had outstanding commitments to originate $1.2 million in loans and to sell $221,000 in loans at December 31, 1999. 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. At December 31, 1999 the Association had $58.5 million of certificates of deposit maturing in one year or less. 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 December 31, 1999 the Association had tangible and core capital of $8.8 million, or 6.3% of adjusted total assets, which was approximately $6.7 million and $4.6 million above the minimum requirements in effect on that date of 1.5% and 3.0%, respectively, of adjusted total assets. At December 31, 1999 the Association had total capital of $9.0 million (including $8.8 million in core capital) and risk-weighted assets of $44.0 million, or total capital of 20.5% of risk-weighted assets. This amount was $5.5 million above the 8.0% requirement in effect on that date. -13- MIDLAND CAPITAL HOLDINGS CORPORATION PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 1.
