AND SUBSIDIARY Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) September 30, 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 statement of income for the three month period ended September 30, 1997 is 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 September 30, 1997, and June 30, 1997, the bank met each of the three capital requirements. As of June 30, 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 Ended September 30, 1997 and September 30, 1996. Net Income. Net income increased by $493,000 from $147,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 to $640,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1997. The increase in net income was primarily attributable to a special assessment by the FDIC of 65.7 basis points or $686,000 ($408,000 net of taxes) for the quarter ended September 30, 1996. This special assessment was to recapitalize the SAIF. Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased by $108,000 or 7.2%, from $1.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 to $1.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1997. The increase in the Bank's net interest income resulted from a slight increase both in the Bank's ratio of average interest-earning assets to average interest-bearing liabilities and in its net interest margin. Interest Income. Interest income was $2.8 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1997. This represents an increase of $172,000 or 6.5%, from the quarter ended September 30, 1996. The increase was due to an increase in the average yield earned on interest-earning assets and by an increase in average interest-earning assets. The increase in the average yield on interest-earning assets primarily reflected a higher balance of loans with higher interest rates during the three-month period ended September 30, 1997 versus the three-month period ended September 30, 1996. Interest Expense. Interest expense increased by $65,000 or 5.5%, from $1.16 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 to $1.23 million for the quarter ended September 30, 1997. The increase resulted primarily from higher average interest-bearing liabilities for the quarter ended September 30, 1997 versus September 30, 1996. 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 $6,000 or 4.1% from $135,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 1997 to $141,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 1998 due primarily to increased loan fees. Noninterest Expense. Total noninterest expense decreased by $702,000 or 50.8% during the quarter ended September 30, 1997. The decrease was primarily due to the special FDIC assessment of $686,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1996. Income Taxes. The Bank's income tax expense increased by $322,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1997 as compared to the quarter ended September 30, 1996. The increase reflects increased income before income taxes during this period. Comparison of Financial Condition at September 30, 1997 and June 30, 1997. Total assets increased by $1.4 million, or 0.9% from $156.7 million at June 30, 1997 to $158.1 million at September 30, 1997. The increase was primarily due to an increase in deposits and short-term borrowings of $1.1 million. Deposits increased by $900,000 or 0.8% and short-term borrowings increased by $200,000,or 1.5%. The Bank's investment securities decreased by $700,000 or 0.9%, from $83.1 million at June 30, 1997 to $82.4 million at September 30, 1997. The decrease in investment securities was primarily due to the company's stock buyback program and increased funding for loans. The Bank's net loans receivable increased by $2.5 million, or 4.0%, from $61.2 million at June 30, 1997 to $63.7 million at September 30, 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.
