P. Rooney PRESIDENT and CEO Telephone: 773-376-3800 PS Financial, Inc. Announces Year End and Fourth Quarter Earnings Chicago, Illinois (February 10, 2000: NASDAQ: "PSFI"), K. P. Rooney, President and Chief Executive Officer of PS Financial, Inc., holding company for Preferred Savings Bank, today announced the company's fourth quarter financial results. The three months ended December 31, 1999 produced net income of $389,000 compared to $368,000 for the three months ended December 31, 1998. Net interest income increased to $974,000 for the fourth quarter of 1999 from $847,000 for the fourth quarter of 1998. Net interest income increased primarily due to an increase in the balance of interest-earning assets. The increase in net interest income was partially offset by an increase in other noninterest expense of $48,000 and a loss on sale of securities of $29,000 compared to a gain of $21,000 in 1998. However, due to the utilization of excess capital to implement the Company's stock repurchase plans, the Company's return on equity increased to 7.57% from 6.85% for the same period in the prior year. Net income for the twelve months ended December 31, 1999 was $1.6 million compared to $1.5 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 1998, an increase of 6.67%. Net interest income increased to $3.8 million in the twelve months ended December 31, 1999 compared to $3.7 million in the twelve months ended December 31, 1998 primarily due to an increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets. The increase in net interest income, as well as a $118,000 decrease in income taxes, was partially offset by an increase in noninterest expense of $113,000 and a loss on sales of securities of $86,000. The increase in noninterest expense was primarily the result of expenses incurred to convert data processing systems. The decrease in income taxes was the result of purchasing tax exempt municipal securities. The corporation had $122 million in assets and $19 million in stockholders' equity as of December 31, 1999. Preferred Savings Bank, a federally chartered, FDIC-insured savings bank founded in 1891 serves customers in Cook County, Illinois by operating one full service office located in Chicago, Illinois and exceeds all capital standards imposed by the federal government.
