AND SUBSIDIARY Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) 1) QCF Bancorp, Inc. The consolidated financial statements included herein are for QCF Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company"), Queen City Federal Savings Bank (the "Bank") and the Bank's wholly owned subsidiary, Queen City Service Corporation. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the footnotes thereto contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended June 30, 1998 of the Company, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The June 30, 1998 balance sheet was derived from audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. (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 six month period ended December 31, 1998 is not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire year. (3) Earnings Per Share Basic per-share amounts are computed by dividing net income (the numerator) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding (the denominator). 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. Following is information about the computation of the earnings per share data for the periods ended December 31, 1998 and 1997. Quarter Ended December 31 Six Months Ended December 31 Net Net Income Income Per Per Numerator Denominator Share Numerator Denominator Share 1998 Basic earnings per share, income available to common stockholders $525,550 775,657 $0.68 $1,104,539 839,559 $1.32 Effect of dilutive securities: Stock options - 71,177 - 75,415 Management recognition plan - 12,842 - 17,103 Diluted earnings per share, income available to common stockholders $525,550 859,676 $0.61 $1,104,539 932,077 $1.19 1997 Basic earnings per share, income available to common stockholders $653,839 1,046,122 $0.63 1,293,648 1,077,239 $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 1,148,287 0.57 1,293,648 1,177,901 l.10 7 (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 4% 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, 1998, and June 30, 1998, the bank met each of the three capital requirements. As of December 31, 1998, 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, 1998 and 1997 Net Income. Net income decreased by $128,000 or 19.6% from $654,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 1997 to $526,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 1998. The decrease in net income was primarily attributable to a decrease of $186,000 in net interest income. Net income decreased by $189,000, or 14.6%, from $1.3 million for the six months ended December 31, 1997 to $1.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 1998. The decrease was primarily attributable to a reduction in net interest income of $250,000. Net Interest Income. Net interest income decreased by $186,000 or ll.4% between the quarter ended December 31, 1998 and the quarter ended December 31, 1997. Net interest income decreased by $250,000 or 7.7% from $3.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 1997 to $3.0 million for the six months ended December 31, 1998. 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 and a slight decrease in the Bank's net interest margin. The decrease in average interest- earning assets was due to a reduction in investment securities primarily as a result of the Bank's stock buyback program. Interest Income. Interest income decreased $253,000 or 8.8% from the quarter ended December 31, 1997 to the quarter ended December 31, 1998. Interest income for the six month period ended December 31, 1998 decreased by $387,000 or 6.8% compared to the six month period ended December 31, 1997. The decreases were due to a decrease in average interest-earning assets and a slight decrease in their interest rate yields. Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased by $68,000 or 5.5%, from the qurter ended December 31, 1997 to the quarter ended December 31, 1998 and decreased by $137,000 or 5.6% from the six months ended December 31, 1997 to the six months ended December 31, 1998. The decreases were due to a decrease in average interest-bearing liabilities as a result of decreases in Federal Home Loan Bank advances. 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 $23,000 from $148,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 1998 to $171,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 1999. Noninterest income increased by $42,000 for the six months ended December 31, 1998. The increases are primarily due to increases in fee income. Noninterest Expense. Total noninterest expense increased by $41,000 or 5.5% and by $124,000 or 8.8% during the quarter and six months ended December 31, 1998, respectively. The increases for the quarter and for the six-month period were primarily due to additional expenses incurred for the pending conversion of the Bank's data processing system. 8 Income Taxes. The Bank's income tax expense decreased by $75,000 and by $143,000 for the quarter and six months ended December 31, 1998 as compared to the quarter and six months ended December 31, 1997, respectively. The changes reflect the changes in income before income taxes during these periods. Comparison of Financial Condition at December 31, 1998 and June 30, 1998. Total assets decreased by $5.2 million, or 3.4% from $150.5 million at June 30, 1998 to $145.3 million at December 31, 1998. The decrease was primarily due to a $8.4 million decrease in investment securities offset by a $3.0 million increase in cash and cash equivalents. Deposits increased by $2.1 million or 2.0% and short-term borrowings increased by $1.4 million,or 9.6%. The Bank's investment securities decreased by $8.4 million or 10.8%, from $78.1 million at June 30, 1998 to $69.7 million at December 31, 1998. The decrease in investment securities was primarily due to the company's stock buyback program and increased level of interest-bearing deposits with banks. The Bank's net loans receivable increased by $701,000 or 1.1%, from $65.2 million at June 30, 1998 to $65.9 million at December 31, 1998. The increase in interest loans receivable reflects normal loan demand fluctuations. Year 2000 Compliance The year 2000 ("Y2K") issue is the result of computer programs using a two-digit format, as opposed to four digits, to indicate the year. Such computer systems will be unable to interpret dates beyond the year 1999, which could cause a system failure or other computer errors, leading to disruptions in operations. The Bank has been identifying potential problems associated with the Y2K issue and has implemented a plan designed to ensure that all software used in connection with the Bank'' business will manage and manipulate data involving the transition with data from 1999 to 2000 without functional or data abnormality and without inaccurate results related to such data. In addition, the Bank recognizes that its ability to be Y2K compliant is dependent upon the cooperation of its vendors. The Bank is requiring its vendors to represent that their products are or will be Y2K compliant and is in the process of testing compliance. All major Y2K issues for the Bank, including testing, have been addressed and all problems will be remedied by March 31, 1999. The bank has also prepared a contingency plan in the event there are system interruptions. The Bank believes that its costs related to Y2K will be approximately $700,000, primarily related to replacing the bank's core inhouse computer software and hardware systems. 9 Part II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1.
