AND SUBSIDIARY Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) March 31, 1997 and 1996 (1) QCF Bancorp, Inc. QCF Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of the state of Minnesota for the purpose of becoming the savings and loan holding company of Queen City Federal Savings Bank ( the "Bank") in connection with the Bank's conversion from a federally chartered mutual savings bank to a federally chartered stock savings bank, pursuant to its Plan of Conversion. The Company commenced on February 10, 1995, a Subscription and Community Offering of its shares in connection with the conversion of the Bank (the "Offering"). The Offering was closed on March 17, 1995, and final approval for the conversion was received from the Office of Thrift Supervision on March 31, 1995. The consolidated financial statements included herein are for the Company, the Bank and the Bank's wholly owned subsidiary, Queen City Service Corporation. (2) Basis of Preparation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10- QSB and therefore, do not include all disclosures necessary for a complete presentation of the consolidated statements of financial condition, consolidated statements of income, consolidated statement of stockholders' equity and consolidated statements of cash flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. `However, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the interim financial statements have been included. The statements of income for the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire year. (3) Earnings Per Share Earnings per share are based upon the weighted average number of common shares and common stock equivalents, if dilutive, outstanding during the period. The only common stock equivalents are stock options. The weighted average number of common stock equivalents is calculated using the treasury stock method. (4) Regulatory Capital Requirements The Bank as a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank System is required to hold a specified number of shares of capital stock, which is carried at cost, in the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines. In addition, the Bank is required to maintain cash and liquid assets in an amount equal to 5% of its deposit accounts and other obligations due within one year. The Bank has met these requirements. Federal savings institutions are required to satisfy three capital requirements: (I) a requirement that "tangible capital" equal or exceed 1.5% of adjusted total assets, (ii) a requirement that "core-capital" equal or exceed 3% of adjusted total assets, and (iii) a risk-based capital standard of 8% of "risk-adjusted" assets. Failure to meet these requirements can initiate mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material affect on the Bank's financial statements. The Bank's capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgements by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. At March 31, 1997, and June 30, 1996, the bank met each of the three capital requirements. As of March 31, 1997, the most recent notification from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank's category. 7 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Comparison of Operating Results for the Quarter and Nine Months Ended March 31, 1997 and 1996. Net Income. Net income increased by $25,000 or 4.6% from $548,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 to $574,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1997. The increase in net income was primarily attributable to a decrease of $19,000 in non-interest expense. Net income decreased by $327,000, or 14.0%, from $1.7 million for the nine months ended March 31, 1996 to $1.4 million for the nine months ended March 31, 1997. The decrease was primarily attributable to a special assessment by the FDIC of 65.7 basis points or $686,000. This assessment was offset in part by an increase in non-interest income of $199,000. The increase in non-interest income was primarily attributable to reversing an over accrual for FDIC insurance premiums. Net Interest Income. Net interest income decreased by $7,000 or 0.5% between the quarter ended March 31, 1996 and the quarter ended March 31, 1997. Net interest income decreased by $60,000, or 1.3%, from $4.6 million for the nine months ended March 31, 1996 to $4.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 1997. The decrease in net interest income primarily resulted from a decrease in the Bank's ratio of average interest-earning assets to average interest-bearing liabilities as a result of stock repurchases. Interest Income. Interest income decreased $20,000 from the quarter ended March 31, 1996 to the quarter ended March 31, 1997. Interest income for the nine month period ended March 31, 1997 decreased by $61,000 as compared to the nine month period ended March 31, 1996. The decrease was due to a decrease in average interest-earning assets as a result of stock repurchases. Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased by $7,000 or 0.6%, from the quarter ended March 31, 1996 to the quarter ended March 31, 1997, and decreased by $1,000 from the nine months ended March 31, 1996 to the nine months ended March 31, 1997. Provision for Loan Losses. The Bank has not provided for loan losses during either of the two periods due to low levels of nonperforming loans and to the high level of the allowance for loan losses in relation to nonperforming loans during these periods. Noninterest Income. The Bank's non-interest income increased $13,000 from $116,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 1996 to $128,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 1997. Noninterest income increased by $199,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 1997 versus the nine months ended March 31, 1996. The increase in noninterest income for the nine month period was primarily attributable to reversing an over accrual of FDIC insurance premiums. Noninterest Expense. Total noninterest expense decreased by $19,000 or 2.7% and increased by $71,000, or 35.1% during the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 1997, respectively, compared to the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 1996. The increase for the nine month period was primarily due to the special assessment of $686,000 by the FDIC. Income Taxes. The Bank's income tax expense decreased by $1,000 and by $245,000 for the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 1997 as compared to the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 1996, respectively. The changes reflect the changes in income before income taxes during these periods. Comparison of Financial Condition at March 31, 1997 and June 30, 1996. Total assets increased by $157,000, or 0.1% from $149.5 million at June 30, 1996 to $149.6 million at March 31, 1997. Deposits increased by $16.1 million and short-term borrowings decreased by $16.4 million. These changes were due to offering FDIC insured savings accounts instead of repurchase agreements to customers. The Bank's investment securities decreased by $7.3 million, or 8.2%, from $89.2 million at June 30, 1996 to $81.9 million at March 31, 1997. The decrease in investment securities was primarily due to the increase in loan demands and to the company's stock buyback program. The Bank's net loans receivable increased by $6.1 million, or 11.7%, from $52.4 million at June 30, 1996 to $58.5 million at March 31, 1997. The increase in interest loans receivable reflects strong loan demand during this period. 8 QCF BANCORP, INC. Part II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings. None. ITEM 2.
