Under the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, each outstanding share of the common stock, $1.00 par value per share, of the Bank (the "Bank's Common Stock") was converted into one share of the common stock, $.01 par value per share, of the Registrant (the "Common Stock") and the former holders of the Bank's Common Stock became the holders of all the outstanding Common Stock. The Registrant has thereby become the successor issuer to the Bank. ITEM 7.

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Bank's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Citizens Federal Savings Bank and subsidiary as of September 30, 1997 and 1996, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended September 30, 1997, in conformity with generally accepted accounting

Statements September 30, 1997, 1996 and 1995 (1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES ------------------------------------------ Citizens Federal Savings Bank (the "Bank") is a federally chartered stock savings bank regulated by the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) and certain other federal agencies. The Bank provides a full range of banking services to customers through its offices in Birmingham and Eutaw, Alabama. The Bank is subject to competition from other financial institutions in the market in which it operates. The following is a description of the more significant accounting and reporting policies which the Bank follows in preparing and presenting its financial statements: (A) BASIS OF PRESENTATION --------------------- The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Bank and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Citizens Service Corporation. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet and revenues and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. One estimate that is particularly susceptible to a significant change in the near term relates to the determination of the allowance for loan losses. A significant portion of the Bank's mortgage loans are secured by real estate in Alabama, primarily in Jefferson County and the surrounding areas. The ultimate collectibility of the loan portfolio is susceptible to changes in market conditions in Alabama. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate. While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans, future additions to the allowance may be necessary based on changes in economic conditions. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an internal part of their examination process, periodically review the Bank's allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require the Bank to recognize additions to the allowance based on their judgments about information available to them at the time of their examination. (B) CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS ------------------------- For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from financial institutions and federal funds sold. Generally, federal funds are purchased and sold for one-day periods. (C) INVESTMENT SECURITIES --------------------- The Bank classifies its investment securities in two categories: available for sale or held to maturity. Held to maturity securities are those securities for which the Bank has the ability and intent to hold the security until maturity. All other securities are classified as available for sale. 9 CITIZENS FEDERAL SAVINGS BANK AND SUBSIDIARY Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED ----------------------------------------------------- (C) INVESTMENT SECURITIES, CONTINUED -------------------------------- Available for sale securities are recorded at fair value. Held to maturity securities are recorded at amortized cost adjusted for the amortization or accretion of premiums and discounts. Unrealized holding gains and losses, net of the related income tax effects, on securities available for sale are excluded from earnings and are reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity until realized. Mortgage-backed securities held to maturity are stated at their unpaid principal balances, adjusted for unamortized premiums and unaccreted discounts. Mortgage-backed securities available for sale are stated at their estimated fair value. A decline in the market value of any available-for-sale or held-to- maturity security below cost that is deemed other than temporary results in a charge to earnings and the establishment of a new cost basis for the security. At September 30, 1997, the Bank did not have any securities with other than temporary declines in value for which a new cost basis had not been established. Premiums and discounts are amortized or accreted over the life of the related investment security as an adjustment to yield using the level- yield method and prepayment assumptions. Dividend and interest income are recognized when earned. Realized gains and losses for investment securities sold are included in earnings and are derived using the specific identification method for determining the cost of the security sold. The investment in the stock of the Federal Home Loan Bank is required of insured institutions that utilize the services of the Federal Home Loan Bank. The stock has no quoted fair value and no ready market exists. However, the Federal Home Loan Bank has historically repurchased the stock at cost. Accordingly, the stock is reported in the financial statements at cost. (D) LOANS AND INTEREST INCOME ------------------------- Loans receivable are stated at their unpaid principal balance less the undisbursed portion of loans in process, unearned interest income and an allowance for loan losses. Interest income on loans is recorded when earned. It is the general policy of the Bank to discontinue the accrual of interest when principal or interest payments are delinquent 90 days or more or the ultimate collection of either is in doubt. Unearned discount on loans purchased is accreted to income over the remaining life of the loans purchased using the level-yield method. One of the procedures used by management in establishing the allowance for loan losses is the evaluation of potential impairment on selected loans. A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Bank will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the note agreement. Impaired loans are measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, or at the loan's observable market price, or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent, beginning in fiscal 1996. Loans that are determined to be impaired require a valuation allowance equivalent to the amount of impairment. Impairment losses are included in the allowance for loan losses through a charge to the provision for loan losses. Cash receipts on impaired loans which are (Continued) 10 CITIZENS FEDERAL SAVINGS BANK AND SUBSIDIARY Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED ----------------------------------------------------- (D) LOANS AND INTEREST INCOME, CONTINUED ------------------------------------ accruing interest are applied to principal and interest under the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Cash receipts on impaired loans for which the accrual of interest has been discontinued are applied to reduce the principal amount of such loans until the principal has been recovered and are recognized as interest income thereafter. At September 30, 1997, approximately 18 percent of the Bank's loan portfolio consists of mortgage loans to churches. The Bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the parties to financial instruments for mortgage loans to churches is represented by the contractual amounts of these instruments. (E) ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES ------------------------- Additions to the allowance for loan losses are based on management's evaluation of the loan portfolio under current economic conditions, including such factors as the volume and character of loans outstanding, past loss experience, and such other factors which, in management's judgment, deserve recognition in estimating loan losses. Loans are charged to the allowance when, in the opinion of management, such loans are deemed to be uncollectible. Provisions for loan losses and recoveries of loans previously charged to the allowance are added to the allowance. (F) LOAN FEES --------- Loan origination fees and certain direct loan origination costs are deferred and recognized over the lives of the related loans as a yield adjustment using a method which approximates the level-yield method. (G) REAL ESTATE ACQUIRED BY FORECLOSURE ----------------------------------- For real estate acquired through foreclosure, a new cost basis is established at the lower of cost or fair value, adjusted for estimated costs to sell, at the time of foreclosure. Subsequent to foreclosure, foreclosed assets are carried at the lower of fair value less estimated costs to sell or cost, with the difference recorded as a valuation allowance, on an individual asset basis. Changes in the valuation allowance are recognized as charges or credits to earnings. (H) INCOME TAXES ------------ The Bank provides for income taxes based upon pretax income, adjusted for permanent differences between reported and taxable earnings. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be realized or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the period that includes the enactment date. (Continued) 11 CITIZENS FEDERAL SAVINGS BANK AND SUBSIDIARY Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED ----------------------------------------------------- (I) PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT ---------------------- Land is stated at cost. Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets on primarily the straight-line method. (J) NET INCOME PER SHARE -------------------- Net income per share is calculated based on the average shares of common stock and common stock equivalents, if dilutive, outstanding during the year. Common stock equivalents included in the computation represent the dilutive effect of shares issuable under stock options granted by the Bank. All of the common shares owned by the ESOP are considered outstanding.

Additionally, in accordance with Office of Thrift Supervision regulations, the Bank is required to maintain a certain percentage (5 percent at September 30, 1997), of its withdrawable deposits and current borrowings in cash, U.S. Treasury obligations, or other approved investments which are readily convertible into cash. The Bank met this liquidity requirement at September 30, 1997. During 1996, the Bank transferred investment securities with an amortized cost of $25,939,464 from held to maturity to available for sale. The fair market value of the investment securities on the date of transfer was $25,924,334 resulting in a decrease in the unrealized gain on investment securities available for sale of $15,130. The investment securities were transferred as a result of the reassessment of the appropriateness of the classification of all securities following the issuance of the FASB Special Report, A Guide to Implementation of Statement 115 on Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.

There was no valuation allowance at September 30, 1997 or 1996, or any change in the valuation allowance during the period ended September 30, 1997, 1996 or 1995. (10) EMPLOYEE BENEFITS PLANS ----------------------- The Bank sponsors an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). The ESOP is available to all employees who have met certain age and service requirements. Contributions to the plan are determined by the board of directors, based on a percentage of the total payroll and certain limitations as to the deductibility for tax purposes. The Bank intends to make contributions to the Plan that, when combined with dividends on unallocated shares, are sufficient to fund interest and principal payments on the ESOP debt. The ESOP has borrowed funds on two occasions from an unrelated financial institution to purchase shares of common stock of the Bank for the benefit of the ESOP participants. The common stock of the Bank acquired by the ESOP is held as collateral for the loans. As of September 30, 1997, the ESOP holds 26,760 (20 percent) shares of the Bank's outstanding stock. of which 17,998 shares have been allocated to the participants. The Bank makes contributions to the ESOP which are used to make loan interest and principal payments. Shares are released and allocated to the participants prorata with the paydowns on the ESOP debt. The contributions are recorded as compensation expense. The contributions attributable to the ESOP shares acquired in 1995 (1995 shares) approximate the fair value of the 1995 shares released to participants. Contributions of $56,095, $61,928, and $60,000, were made to the ESOP in 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively. (Continued) 18 CITIZENS FEDERAL SAVINGS BANK AND SUBSIDIARY Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (10) EMPLOYEE BENEFITS PLANS, CONTINUED ---------------------------------- The first ESOP loan is due on demand and is repayable in monthly installments of interest at 80 percent of the prime rate or $7,307, $9,632, and $13,777 for the years ended September 30, 1997, 1996, and 1995, respectively, and annual installments of principal in the amount of $41,275. The interest rate is 6.8 percent and 6.6 percent at September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The principal outstanding is $82,550 and $123,825 at September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The second ESOP loan is repayable in annual installments of interest at 6.75 percent and 5 annual installments of principal in the amount of $24,195. The principal outstanding at September 30, 1997 and 1996 is $48,391 and $72,586, respectively. The principal balance approximates the fair value of the unearned 1995 shares which approximated 1,300 and 1,900 at September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The Bank also sponsors a 401(k) retirement plan (401(k)). The 401(k) is a trusteed, salary reduction plan which is available to all employees who have completed one year of service and have attained the age of 21. 401(k) participants may elect to defer a percentage of their compensation each year up to a certain dollar limit established by law. The Bank's management may make a discretionary matching contribution equal to a percentage of the amount of salary reduction 401(k) participants elected to defer. Such discretionary contributions for the year ended September 30, 1997, 1996, and 1995 were $21,800, $25,952, and $24,332, respectively. The Bank also provides major medical and dental coverage funded through pre-tax withholdings from the participants. (11) STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY -------------------- The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory, and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Bank's financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank's assets, liabilities, and certain off- balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank's capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Quantitative measures established by regulations to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total and Tier I capital to risk-weighted assets, and of Tier I capital to average assets. Management believes, as of September 30, 1997, that the Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements and meets the requirements to be classified as "well capitalized." For capital Well Actual adequacy purposes capitalized ------------------- ------------------- ------------------- Amount Ratio Amount Ratio Amount Ratio ----------- ------ ----------- ------ ----------- ------ As of September 30, 1997: Total capital (to risk weighted assets) $8,007,691 17.5% $3,655,338 8.0% $4,581,667 10.0% Tier I capital (to risk weighted assets) $7,770,829 17.0% 1,832,667 4.0% 2,749,000 6.0% Tier I capital (to average assets) $7,770,829 9.0% 3,459,160 4.0% 4,323,950 5.0% (Continued) 19 CITIZENS FEDERAL SAVINGS BANK AND SUBSIDIARY Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (11) STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY, CONTINUED ------------------------------- To be well capitalized under For capital prompt corrective Actual adequacy purposes action provisions ------------------- ------------------- ------------------- Amount Ratio Amount Ratio Amount Ratio ---------- ------- ---------- ------- ---------- ------- As of September 30, 1996: Total capital (to risk weighted assets) $7,634,658 21.6% 2,832,000 8.0% 3,540,000 10.0 Tier I capital (to risk weighted assets) $7,444,726 21.0% 1,416,000 4.0% 2,124,000 6.0 Tier I capital (to average assets) $7,444,726 8.6% 3,442,000 4.0% 4,303,000 5.0 Savings institutions with more than a "normal" level of interest rate risk are required to maintain additional total capital. A savings institution with a greater than normal interest rate risk is required to deduct specified amounts from total capital, for purposes of determining its compliance with risk-based capital requirements. Management believes that the Bank was in compliance with capital standards at September 30, 1997 and 1996. Retained earnings at September 30, 1997 and 1996, include approximately $2,200,000 for which no provision for income tax has been made. This amount represents allocations of income to bad debt deductions for tax computation purposes. If, in the future, this portion of retained earnings is used for any purpose other than to absorb tax bad debt losses, income taxes may be imposed at the then applicable rates. An additional $1,400,000 of retained earnings is also restricted at September 30, 1997 and 1996, as a result of the liquidation account established upon conversion to a stock company. No dividends may be paid to stockholders if such dividends would reduce the net worth of the Bank below the amount required by the liquidation account. (12) CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND COMMITMENTS -------------------------------------- The Bank is defending various lawsuits and claims arising out of the conduct of its business. While the ultimate results of these lawsuits and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, in the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a significant effect on the consolidated financial position or results of operations of the Bank. On October 18, 1996, the Bank entered into a Supervisory Agreement (Agreement) with the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) whereby the Bank agreed to take certain actions. These actions primarily include: (a) developing a business plan covering such matters as lending activities, operating expenses, operating results and other matters, (b) reviewing by the Bank's board of directors of the level, trend and causes of delinquent and nonperforming assets of; (c) establishing and implementing procedures for accurate preparation of the Thrift Financial Report; (d) establishing and implementing written internal control procedures for all aspects of the Bank's operations; (e) ensuring that the calculation of compliance with regulatory liquidity requirements is accurate; and (f) monitoring of the Bank's interest rate risk by the Bank's board of directors. Management believes it is making good faith efforts to comply with the Agreement. It is not presently determinable what actions, if any, the regulatory authorities might take if the Bank does not comply with the provisions of the Agreement. (Continued) 20 CITIZENS FEDERAL SAVINGS BANK AND SUBSIDIARY Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (13) OFF-BALANCE-SHEET FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS --------------------------------------- The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit. Such instruments involve elements of credit risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the financial statements. The Bank's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit is represented by the contractual amount of these instruments. The Bank uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments. The off-balance sheet financial instruments whose contract amounts represent credit risk as of September 30, 1997, are as follows: Commitments to extend credit $3,674,952 Commitments to fund lines of credit 777,180 ---------- $4,452,132 ========== Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since some of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. (14) OTHER EXPENSE ------------- Components of other expense exceeding 1 percent of total interest and other income included miscellaneous losses of $116,708 in 1996 and $142,558 in 1995, consisting primarily of costs related to bank robberies and settlements of and provisions for various legal issues. There were no such components exceeding the 1 percent criteria as stated which are not presented separately in the 1997 consolidated statements of operations. (15) STOCK OPTION PLAN ----------------- Under the terms of the Bank's incentive stock option plan, the Bank has granted 12,000 common stock options to officers and key employees in 1991. The exercise price for the options is equal to $14 per share. All options are exercisable through 2001. As of September 30, 1997, no options had been exercised. (16) SAVINGS ASSOCIATION INSURANCE FUND SPECIAL ASSESSMENT ----------------------------------------------------- On September 30, 1996, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation imposed a special assessment on Savings Association Insurance Fund (SAIF) assessable deposits of depository institutions to recapitalize the SAIF. The Bank's assessment of $493,687 was reflected in the statement of operations for the year ended September 30, 1996. (Continued) 21 CITIZENS FEDERAL SAVINGS BANK AND SUBSIDIARY Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (17) FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS ----------------------------------- The following table provides fair values of the Bank's financial instruments at September 30, 1997 and 1996. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Bank's entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. Because no market exists for a portion of the Bank's financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates. Fair value estimates are based on existing on and off-balance sheet financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments. In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in any of the estimates. The assumptions used in the estimation of the fair value of the Bank's financial instruments are explained below. Where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using discounted cash flow and other valuation techniques. Discounted cash flows can be significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. The following fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and should not be considered representative of the liquidation value of the Bank's financial instruments, but rather a good-faith estimate of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Bank. The following methods and assumptions were used by the Bank in estimating the fair value of its financial instruments: Cash and Cash Equivalents and Interest-Bearing Deposits in Other Banks -- Fair value equals the carrying value of such assets due to their nature. Investment Securities and Accrued Interest Receivable -- The fair value of investments and mortgage-backed securities is based on quoted market prices. The carrying amount of related accrued interest receivable approximates its fair value. Federal Home Loan Bank Stock -- The Federal Home Loan Bank has historically repurchased its stock at cost. Therefore, the carrying amount is considered a reasonable estimate of its fair value. Loans Receivable -- The fair value of loans is calculated using discounted cash flows by loan type. The discount rate used to determine the present value of the loan portfolio is an estimated market discount rate that reflects the credit and interest rate risk inherent in the loan portfolio. The estimated maturity is based on the Bank's historical experience with repayments adjusted to estimate the effect of current market conditions. The carrying amount of related accrued interest receivable approximates its fair value. Deposits -- Fair values for certificates of deposit have been determined using discounted cash flows. The discount rate used is based on estimated market rates for deposits of similar remaining maturities. The carrying amount of all other deposits, due to their short-term nature, approximate their fair values. The carrying amount of related accrued interest payable approximates its fair value.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (none of which are other than normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair statement of financial position of the Bank and the results of operations for the three month and six month periods ended March 31, 1997 and 1998. The results contained in these statements are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire year. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Bank's annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended September 30, 1997. 2. RECLASSIFICATIONS Certain items in the 1997 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to current year classifications. 3. IMPLEMENTATION IF FASB NO. 128 During the quarter ended December 31, 1997, the Bank adopted the requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings Per Share. This statement establishes standards for computing and presenting earnings per share ("EPS") and applies to entities with publicly held common stock or potential stock. The statement replaces the presentation of primary EPS with a presentation of basic EPS. It also requires dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the income statement for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation. Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if the Bank's outstanding options to acquire common stock were exercised. The exercise of these options accounts for the difference between basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding. 29 MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS - ---------------------------------- REVIEW OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OVERVIEW - -------- Net income for the three months ended March 31, 1998 was $99,665 an increase of $7,977 when compared to the three months ended March 31, 1996. The improvement in net earnings resulted primarily from an increase in net interest income of $32,177 and a decrease in general and administrative expense of $17,753 which were tempered by a decline in other income, which consists primarily of service charges and gains on sale of assets, of $36,931. Net income for the six months ended March 31, 1998 was $197,550, an increase of $28,253 when compared to the six months ended March 31, 1997. The increase in net earnings resulted from the same factors which impacted the earnings for the three month period ended March 31, 1998. Net interest income increased by $92,023, non-interest expense decreased by $46,227 and non-interest income declined by $93,682 when compared to the six month period ended March 31, 1997. NET INTEREST INCOME - ------------------- Net interest income is the difference between the interest and fees earned on loans, securities and other interest bearing assets (interest income) and the interest paid on deposits and FHLB advances (interest expense). The Bank's deposits and FHLB advances are primarily short term in nature and reprice faster than the Bank's interest earring assets, consisting mainly of loans and mortgage backed securities, which generally have longer maturities. The mix of the Bank's interest earning assets and deposits and FHLB advances along with the trend of market interest rates have a substantial impact on the change in net interest margin. The cost of the Bank's interest bearing liabilities increased 23 basis points from 3.92% for the six month period ended March 31, 1997 to 4.15% during the six month period ended March 31, 1998 while the yield on interest earning assets increased 63 basis points from 7.39% for the six month period ended March 31, 1997 to 8.02% for the comparable period in the current fiscal year. The Bank's net interest income increased by $92,023 or 6.43% from $1,430,718 for the six month period ended March 31, 1997 to $1,522,741 for the six month period in the current fiscal year. The increase resulted from increase in both the Bank's net interest margin and in the average balance of interest earning assets for the six month period ended March 31, 1998 when compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. The increases in net interest margin and interest earning assets are attributable to a significant increase in the Bank's loan portfolio which grew from $34,641,046 at March 31, 1997 to $44,252,781 at March 31, 1998 and increase of $9,611,735 or 27.75%. The funding for the growth in the Bank's loan portfolio was provided primarily from Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) advances which totaled $9,200,000 at March 31, 1998. There were no FHLB advances outstanding at March 31, 1997. The advances have higher rates than the weighted average cost of the Bank's deposits and are the primary cause for the 23 basis point increase in the average cost of interest bearing liabilities between the six month period ended March 31, 1997 and the six month period in the current fiscal year. 30 OTHER INCOME - ------------ During the six month period ended March 31, 1998 other income decreased from $337,264 for the six month period ended March 31, 1997 to $243,582 for the comparable period in the current fiscal year. The decrease resulted from declines in service charges on deposits of $41,648 and in gains on sale of securities of $48,511 when comparing the six months ended March 31, 1998 to the comparable period in the prior fiscal year. OTHER EXPENSE - ------------- During the six month period ended March 31, 1998 the Bank's other expense declined by 3.07% or $44,568 from $1,503,878 for the six month period ended March 31, 1997 to $1,457,651 for the comparable period in the current year. Most categories of expense either declined or increased only modestly when comparing the six month period ended March 31, 1998 to the comparable period in the prior fiscal year. Line items which decreased significantly included net occupancy expense, federal insurance premiums, depreciation and amortization and advertising expense which decrease by $23,653, $17,598, $24,021 and $14,381, respectively when compared to the six month period ended March 31, 1997. Professional services increased by $26,646 from $100,163 for the six months ended March 31, 1997 to $126,809 for the six month period in the current fiscal year as a result of outsourcing the human resource function during the current fiscal year . The decline in occupancy expense and depreciation relate to expenses and leasehold improvement write-offs which were incurred during fiscal 1997 in conjunction with the Bank's move to a new main office. The decline in federal insurance premiums resulted from a reduction in SAIF premiums which did not become fully effective until January 1, 1997. During fiscal 1997 the Bank conducted an extensive marketing campaign to enhance the Bank's image and promote the Bank's products. Marketing efforts during the current fiscal year have been less extensive and resulted in a decline in advertising expense. REVIEW OF FINANCIAL CONDITION - ----------------------------- Significant factors affecting the Bank's financial condition from September 30, 1997 to March 31, 1998 detailed below: ASSETS - ------ Total assets decreased $6,179,999 or 6.20% from $99,640,318 at September 30, 1997 to $93,460,319 at March 31, 1998. The decline is primarily attributable to the settlement of a payable for investment securities transaction at September 30, 1997 in the amount of $4,975,130. The Bank committed to purchase several mortgage backed securities during the latter part of September 1997 which did not settle until October 1997. The funding for settlement of the securities transactions was provided by a decrease in federal funds and overnight deposits, proceeds from the sale of an investment security available for sale and from cash flows from the investment portfolio. Between September 30, 1997 and March 31, 1998 the Bank's loan portfolio increased by $1,679,904 or 3.95% from $42,572,877 at September 30, 1997 to $44,252,781 at March 31, 1998 while the Bank's total investment portfolio decreased by $5,556,898 or 12.43% from $44,718,585 at September 30, 1997 to $39,161,687 at March 31, 1998. 31 LIABILITIES - ----------- Total liabilities decreased $6,233,389 or 6.79% between September 30, 1997 and March 31, 1998. The decrease resulted from the settlement of a payable for investment securities transactions which was previously discussed in the asset section. The Bank's deposits declined $864,822 or 1.13% between September 30, 1997 and March 31, 1998. LOAN QUALITY - ------------ A key to long term earnings growth for Citizens Federal Savings Bank is maintenance of a high quality loan portfolio. The Bank's directive in this regard is carried out through its policies and procedures for review of loans. The goals and results of these policies and procedures are to provide a sound basis for new credit extensions and an early recognition of problem assets to allow the most flexibility in their timely disposition. At March 31, 1998 the Bank had $892,096 in assets classified as substandard including real estate acquired by foreclosure of $193,634, no assets classified as doubtful and $43,062 in assets classified as loss. The assets classified as loss have been fully reserved. At September 30, 1997 the Bank had $366,603 in assets classified as substandard including real estate acquired by foreclosure of $99,494, no assets classified as doubtful and $252,792 in assets classified as loss. The allowance for loan losses was $391,332 at March 31, 1998. Management believes that the current allowance for loan losses is adequate to cover any potential future loan losses which exist in the loan portfolio, although there can be no assurance that further increases in the loan loss allowance will not be made as circumstances warrant. LIQUIDITY AND INTEREST SENSITIVITY - ---------------------------------- The Bank is required under applicable federal regulations to maintain specified levels of cash and "liquid" investments in qualifying types of United States Treasury and federal agency securities and other investments. Such investments serve as a source of funds upon which the Bank may rely to meet deposit withdrawals and other short term needs. The Bank monitors its cash flow position to assure adequate liquidity levels and to take advantage of market opportunities. The Bank maintains liquidity levels which significantly exceed the minimum the regulatory requirements. Management believes that the Bank's liquidity is adequate to fund all outstanding commitments and other cash needs. Changes in interest rates will necessarily lead to changes in net interest margin. The Bank's goal is to minimize volatility in the net interest margin by taking an active role in managing the level, mix and maturity of assets and liabilities. The Bank's primary emphasis in reducing its interest rate risk is to focus on reducing the weighted average maturity of the loan portfolio and by purchasing adjustable rate securities. YEAR 2000 (Y2K) CONSIDERATIONS - ------------------------------ The Bank has contacted its major computer service vendors and has received assurances that those computer services will properly function on January 1, 2000, the date that computer problems are expected to develop world wide. The Bank has also begun testing computer hardware and software for year 2000 compliance. Based on a review of our internal bookkeeping practices and our conferences with our third party service companies, we do not expect to incur 32 significant additional bookkeeping, data processing or other expenses in connection with issues related to the Year 2000 issue. CAPITAL ADEQUACY AND RESOURCES - ------------------------------ Management is committed to maintaining capital at a level sufficient to protect stockholders and depositors, provide for reasonable growth, and fully comply with all regulatory requirements. Management's strategy to maintain this goal is to retain sufficient earnings while providing a reasonable return to stockholders in the form of dividends and return on equity. The Office of Thrift Supervision has issued guidelines identifying minimum regulatory "tangible" capital equal to 1.50% of adjusted total assets, a minimum 3.00% core capital ratio and a minimum risk based capital of 8.00% of risk weighted assets. The Bank has provided the majority of its capital requirements through the retention of earnings. At March 31, 1998 the Bank satisfied all regulatory requirements. The Bank's compliance with the current standards is as follows: For capital Well Actual adequacy purposes capitalized ------------------- ------------------- ------------------- Amount Ratio Amount Ratio Amount Ratio ---------- ------- ---------- ------- ---------- ------- Total capital (to risk weighted assets) $8,034,970 17.29% 3,717,520 8.00% 4,646,900 10.00% Tier I capital (to risk weighted assets) $7,817,139 16.82% 1,858,760 4.00% 2,788,140 6.00% Tier I capital (to average assets) $7,817,139 8.23% 3,800,910 4.00% 4,751,138 5.00% Reconciliation of capital: Risk Weighted Tier I Capital Capital Total stockholders' equity (GAAP) $7,851,258 $7,851,258 Unrealized gain of securities - AFS (34,119) (34,119) Allowance for loan losses 348,270 -- Equity investments (130,439) ---------- ---------- Total $8,034,970 $7,817,139 33 Prior to the consummation of the holding company reorganization, the Registrant did not have any significant assets or liabilities.
