AND SUBSIDIARY Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) December 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 six month periods ended December 31, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire year. (3) Earnings Per Share The FASB has issued Statement No. 128, Earnings per Share, which supersedes APB Opinion No. l5. Statement No. 128 requires the presentation of earnings per share by all entities that have common stock or potential common stock, such as options, warrants and convertible securities, outstanding that trade in a public market. Those entities that have only common stock outstanding are required to present basic earnings per share amounts. (Basic per-share amounts are computed by dividing (income from continuing operations) (income before extraordinary item(s)) (income before cumulative effect of accounting change) (and) net income (adjusted for (dividends declared on preferred stock) (dividends accumulated on cumulative preferred stock)) (the numerator) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding (the denominator).) All other entities are required to present basic and diluted per-share amounts. Diluted per-share amounts assume the conversion, exercise or issuance of all potential common stock instruments unless the effect is to reduce the loss or increase the income per common share from continuing operations. The Company initially applied Statement No. l28 for the quarter and six months ended December 3l, l997 and (as required by the Statement), has restated all per share information for the prior periods to conform to the Statement. Following is information about the computation of the earnings per share data for the periods ended December 3l, l997 and l996. 7 Quarter Ended December 3l, 1997 Six Months Ended December 3l, 1997 Net Net Income Income Per Per Numerator Denominator Share Numerator Denominator Share Basic earnings per share, income available to common stockholders $ 653,839 l,046,l22 $0.63 $l,293,648 l,077,239 $1.20 Effect of dilutive securities: Stock options - 79,678 - 74,280 Management recognition plan - 22,487 - 26,382 Diluted earnings per share, income available to common stockholders $653,839 l,l48,287 $0.57 $l,293,648 l,l77,90l $1.10 Quarter Ended December 3l, 1996 Six Months Ended December 3l, l996 Basic earnings per share, income available to common stockholders $67l,379 1,l55,240 $0.58 $818,299 1,202930 $0.68 Effect of dilutive securities: Stock options 23,7l3 l7,873 Management Recognition Plan 8,957 9,635 Diluted earnings per share, income available to common stockholders 671,379 l,l87,9l0 0.57 8l8,299 l,230,438 0.67 (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 December 31, 1997, and June 30, 1997, the bank met each of the three capital requirements. As of November 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. Item 2.Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Comparison of Operating Results for the Quarter and Six Months Ended December 31, 1997 and 1996. Net Income. Net income decreased by $18,000 or 2.6% from $671,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 1996 to $654,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 1997. The decrease in net income was primarily attributable to an increase of $191,000 in non-interest expense offset by an increase in net interest income of $116,000. Net income increased by $475,000, or 58.4%, from $818,000 for the six months ended December 31, 1996 to $1.3 million for the six months ended December 31, 1997. The increase 8 was primarily attributable to a special assessment by the FDIC of 65.7 basis points or $686,000 in the six-month period ended December 31, 1996. Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased by $116,000 or 7.6% between the quarter ended December 31, 1997 and the quarter ended December 31, 1996. Net interest income increased by $224,000, or 7.4%, from $3.0 million for the six months ended December 31, 1996 to $3.2 million for the six months ended December 31,1997. The increase in net interest income primarily resulted from an increase in the Bank's ratio of average interest-earning assets to average interest-bearing liabilities and a slight increase in the Bank's net interest margin. Interest Income. Interest income increased $175,000 or 6.5% from the quarter ended December 31, 1996 to the quarter ended December 31, 1997. Interest income for the six month period ended December 31, 1997 increased by $348,000 or 6.5% as compared to the six month period ended December 31, 1996. The increases were due to an increase in average interest-earning assets and a slight increase in their interest rate yields. Interest Expense. Interest expense increased by $116,000 or 7.6%, from the quarter ended December 31, 1996 the quarter ended December 31, 1997, and increased by $124,000 or 5.3% from the six months ended December 31, 1996 to the six months ended December 31, 1997. The increases were due to both an increase in average interest-earning liabilities and a slight increase in cost of funds. 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 $115,000 from $134,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 1997 to $148,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 1998. Noninterest income increased by $20,000 for the six months ended December 31, 1997. The increases were primarily due to increases in miscellaneous income. Noninterest Expense. Total noninterest expense increased by 191,000 and decreased by $511,000, or 26.54% during the quarter and six months ended December 31, 1997, respectively. The increase for the quarter was primarily due to reversing an over accrual of FDIC insurance premiums. The decrease for the six month period was primarily due to the special assessment of $686,000 by the FDIC in the first quarter of fiscal 1997. Income Taxes. The Bank's income tax expense decreased by $43,000 and increased by $279,000 for the quarter and six months ended December 31, 1997 as compared to the quarter and six months ended December 31, 1996, respectively. The changes reflect the changes in income before income taxes during these periods. Comparison of Financial Condition at December 31, 1997 and June 30, 1997. Total assets decreased by $4.1 million, or 2.6% from $156.7 million at June 30, 1997 to $152.7 million at December 31, 1997. The decrease was due to a decrease in Federal Home Loan Bank advances of $4.1 million. Deposits and short-term borrowings remained stable during these periods. The Bank's investment securities decreased by $6.2 million, or 7.4%, from $83.1 million at June 30, 1997 to $76.9 million at December 31, 1997. The decrease in investment securities was primarily due to the increase in loan demands and to the decrease in funding from Federal Home Loan Bank advances. The Bank's net loans receivable increased by $3.6 million, or 5.9%, from $61.2 million at June 30, 1997 to $64.8 million at December 31, 1997. The increase in loans receivable reflects the loan demand during this period. 9 QCF BANCORP, INC. Part II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings. None. ITEM 2. Changes in Securities.
