AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30, 2002 NOTE 1- PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION The unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2002 include the accounts of FSF Financial Corp. (the "Corporation") and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Insurance Planners of Hutchinson, Inc. (the "Agency") and First Federal fsb (the "Bank"), with its wholly owned subsidiaries, Firstate Services and Homeowners Mortgage Corporation ("HMC"). All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. NOTE 2- BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and therefore, do not include information or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). However, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring accruals, which in the opinion of management are necessary for fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements, have been included. The results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire fiscal year or any other future period. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Corporation's Annual Report of Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2001. NOTE 3- BUSINESS SEGMENTS The Corporation's wholly owned subsidiary, First Federal fsb and HMC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Bank, have been identified as reportable operating segments in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 131. HMC was deemed to be a segment because it is a separate corporation that operates independently from the Bank. HMC's mortgage banking activity includes an origination function and it also purchases loans from other loan originators. All loans acquired either by origination or by purchase are intended for resale in the secondary loan market. Insurance Planners, Firstate Services and FSF Financial Corp., the holding company, did not meet the quantitative thresholds for determining reportable segments and therefore are included in the "other" category. The segments follow generally accepted accounting principles as described in the summary of significant accounting policies. Each corporation is managed separately with its own president who reports directly to their own respective board of directors.

The weighted average number of shares outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per share computation for the quarter ended June 30, 2001 were 2,204,670 and 2,300,601, respectively. For the same period in 2002, the number of shares outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per share computation was 2,182,167 and 2,322,339, respectively. For the nine-month period ended June 30, 2001, the weighted average number of shares outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per share computation was 2,228,847 and 2,324,763, respectively. For the same period in 2002, the number of shares outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per share was 2,172,290 and 2,291,896, respectively. The difference between the basic and diluted earnings per share denominator is the effect of stock based compensation plans. NOTE 5- EFFECT OF NEW FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Financial Accounting Standards Statement No. 141, Business Combinations and Statement No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Statement 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. Statement 142 changes the accounting for goodwill from an amortization method to an impairment-only approach. Thus, amortization of goodwill, including goodwill recorded in past business combinations, will cease upon adoption of the Statement. The Company must adopt Statement 142 effective for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2002. Amortization of goodwill for the three-month period ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 was $80,000 and $23,000, respectively. Amortization of goodwill for the nine-month period ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 was $187,000 and $68,000, respectively. 6 NOTE 6- BRANCH ACQUISITION On November 9, 2001, the Bank acquired the St. Cloud, Minnesota branch facility of ING Bank, fsb. The purchase method transaction involved the assumption of deposits and acquisitions of assets as follows (in thousands): Deposits assumed (at fair value) $ 50,083 ======== Assets acquired: Cash $ 17,589 Loans receivable 28,806 Premises and equipment 765 Other assets 14 Core deposit intangible 794 -------- Sub-total (at fair value) $ 47,968 -------- Cost of unidentifiable intangible asset resulting from the excess of fair value of deposit liaabilities assumed over the fair value of acquired identifiable asset $ 2,115 ======== The unidentifiable intangible asset is recognized under FASB Statement No. 72, Accounting for Certain Acquisitions of Banking and Thrift Institutions. The unidentifiable intangible asset recognized under Statement 72 is excluded from the scope of Statement 142. Statement 72 intangible asset (goodwill) continues to be subject to amortization based upon the estimated remaining maturity of the interest rate sensitive assets acquired (approximately 12 years) and is tax deductible over a 15 year period. The primary reason for the ING branch acquisition was to increase the Bank's market potential in the St. Cloud, Minnesota area. The results of operations for the current and comparable prior interim periods were affected by less than one cent per share on a pro-forma basis and considered not material for disclosure. NOTE 7- COMPREHENSIVE INCOME Comprehensive income consists of net income and other gains and losses affecting shareholder's equity that, under generally accepted accounting principles, is excluded from net income. For the Corporation, the difference between net income and comprehensive income consists of the change for the quarter in unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale, net of tax. 7 FSF FINANCIAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 contains safe harbor provisions regarding forward-looking statements. When used in this discussion, the words "believes", "anticipates", "contemplates", "expects" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Those risks and uncertainties include changes in interest rates, risks associated with the effect of integrating newly acquired businesses, the ability to control costs and expenses and general economic conditions. General The Corporation's total assets at June 30, 2002 and September 30, 2001 totaled $512.0 million and $473.6 million. This increase of $38.4 million was mainly the result of an increase in loans held for sale and loans receivable from the ING Bank branch acquisition (see Note 6 of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements). Cash and cash equivalents increased $2.3 million from $12.6 million at September 30, 2001 to $14.9 million at June 30, 2002. The Corporation utilizes this excess liquidity to fund the purchase of treasury shares and loan originations. Securities available for sale decreased $1.3 million between June 30, 2002 and September 30, 2001, as a result of the purchase of a security for $3.0 million, net of market value changes and principal payments on mortgage-backed and related securities and the call of a $3.0 million debt security. Loans held for sale increased $4.8 million to $16.9 million at June 30, 2002 from $12.1 million at September 30, 2001. As of June 30, 2002, the Bank and HMC had forward commitments to sell all of their loans held for sale in the secondary market. Payment for these loans usually occurs within fourteen days of funding. Loans receivable increased $33.5 million or 9.8% to $374.0 million at June 30, 2002 from $340.5 million at September 30, 2001. Total residential real estate and construction loan originations increased by $109.8 million and when combined with the sale and prepayments of residential mortgages, resulted in an increase in one-to-four family residential mortgages and construction loans of $55.2 million. Agricultural loans increased by $6.8 million and consumer loans decreased by $9.6 million. To supplement originations, the Bank purchased $17.3 million of commercial business loans. As part of the acquisition of the ING branch, the Bank purchased $2.6 million of consumer loans and $26.2 million in commercial and commercial real estate loans at a premium of $316,000. The commercial loans purchased that meet the risk profile established by the Bank generally have interest rates that are based on the "Prime" rate as published in The Wall Street Journal. These types of commercial loans provide the Bank with the opportunity to continue to diversify the composition of and shorten the length of maturity of the loan portfolio. 8 The following table sets forth information on loans originated and purchased for the periods indicated: Three Months Nine Months Ended June 30, Ended June 30, ----------------------------- ----------------------------- 2002 2001 2002 2001 ----------------------------- ----------------------------- (in thousands) (in thousands) Loans originated: 1-4 family residential mortgages $ 22,798 $ 30,797 $ 105,321 $ 69,150 1-4 family construction loans 69,428 57,474 172,169 98,505 Land 2,500 - 4,850 3,083 Agriculture 16,153 8,790 46,740 36,904 Commercial business & real estate 5,346 2,678 12,805 8,539 Consumer 6,651 11,599 16,411 22,420 ----------------------------- ----------------------------- Total loans originated 122,876 111,338 358,296 238,601 ----------------------------- ----------------------------- Loans purchased: Commercial business 3,790 9,193 17,286 22,253 ----------------------------- ----------------------------- Total new loans $ 126,666 $ 120,531 $ 375,582 $ 260,854 ============================= ============================= Acquired in ING branch acquisition $ - $ - $ 28,806 $ - ============================= ============================= Total loans sold $ 37,736 $ 38,897 $ 153,559 $ 88,178 ============================= ============================= The following table sets forth the composition of the Bank's loan portfolio in dollars and in percentages of total loans at the dates indicated: June 30, September 30, 2002 2001 ----------------------------------- ---------------------------- Amount % Amount % ----------------------------------- ---------------------------- (dollars in thousands) Residential real estate: One-to-four family (1) $ 63,918 12.9% $ 81,790 19.1% Residential construction 215,140 43.6% 142,035 33.2% 5,414 1.1% 5,922 1.4% ----------------------------------- ---------------------------- 284,472 57.6% 229,747 53.7% Agricultural loans 56,703 11.5% 49,935 11.7% Land and commercial real estate 71,595 14.5% 55,220 12.9% Commercial business 21,206 4.3% 23,908 5.6% ----------------------------------- ---------------------------- 149,504 30.3% 129,063 30.1% Consumer loans: Home equity and second mortgages 27,559 5.6% 29,991 7.0% Automobile loans 10,004 2.0% 13,023 3.0% Other 22,155 4.5% 26,292 6.1% ----------------------------------- ---------------------------- Total consumer loans 59,718 12.1% 69,306 16.2% ----------------------------------- ---------------------------- Total loans 493,694 100.0% 428,116 100.0% ============== ============== Less: Loans in process (100,333) (73,235) Deferred fees (795) (774) Allowance for loan losses (1,703) (1,541) -------------------- -------------------- Total loans, net $ 390,863 $ 352,566 ==================== ==================== - -------------------------------------------------- 1. Includes loans held for sale in the amount of $16.9 million and $12.1 million as of June 30, 2002 and September 31, 2001. Deposits, after interest credited, excluding the ING branch acquisition, increased from $312.5 million at September 30, 2001 to $313.7 million at June 30, 2002, an increase of $1.2 million. Overall cost of funds on deposits during the period decreased 188 basis points (100 basis points equals 1%) as the Bank attempted to maintain deposit rates consistent with market place competitors. Demand deposits increased $2.8 million or 6.9% from September 30, 2001 to June 30, 2002. Savings account balances decreased 10.0% during the same period, while certificates of deposit increased $8.1 million. As part of the ING branch acquisition, the Bank assumed $19.3 million in demand deposits, $6.2 million in savings 9 accounts and $24.2 million in certificates of deposit, at a discount of $416,000. The Bank also recorded $794,000 of core deposits intangibles in this transaction. The Bank utilized this increase in deposits to fund the continued loan growth and reduce Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") borrowings. The Corporation completed the repurchase of 82,535 shares of common stock which, when netted against 75,575 shares issued in connection with the exercise of stock options, increased the number of treasury shares to 2,201,763 at June 30, 2002. Treasury shares are to be used for general corporate purposes, including the issuance of shares in connection with the exercise of stock options. Total stockholders' equity has increased $2.37 million since September 30, 2001 due to net income, less dividends and a decrease in accumulated comprehensive loss. Book value per share increased from $19.30 at September 30, 2001 to $20.20 at June 30, 2002. In making loans, the Bank recognizes that credit losses will be experienced and that the risk of loss will vary with, among other things, the type of loan being made, the creditworthiness of the borrower over the term of the loan and in the case of a secured loan, the quality of the collateral for the loan. The Bank's management evaluates the need to establish reserves against losses on loans and other assets each quarter based on estimated losses on specific loans and on any real estate held for sale or investment when a finding is made that a loss is estimable and probable. Such an evaluation includes a review of all loans for which full collectibility may not be reasonably assured and considers, among other matters, the estimated market value of the underlying collateral of problem loans, prior loss experience, economic conditions and overall portfolio quality. While management recognizes and charges against the allowance for loan losses, accounts that are determined to be uncollectible, experience indicates that at any point in time, possible losses may exist in the loan portfolio which are not specifically identifiable. Therefore, based upon management's best estimate, each year an amount may be charged to earnings to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level sufficient to recognize inherent credit risk. Impaired loans, including all loans that are in a troubled debt restructuring involving a modification of terms, are measured at the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's initial effective interest rate. The fair value of the collateral of an impaired collateral dependent loan or an observable market price, if one exists, may be used as an alternative to discounting. If the measure of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, impairment is recognized through the allowance for loan losses. 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 loan agreement. The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level that represents management's best estimates of losses in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date. However, there can be no assurance that the allowance for losses will be adequate to cover losses that may be realized in the future and that additional provision for loan losses will not be required. The following table sets forth information with respect to the Bank's non-performing assets for the periods indicated: June 30, September 30, 2002 2001 ----------------------------------- (in thousands) Loans accounted for on a non-accrual basis: Mortgage loans: Residential construction loans $ 1,634 $ 1,043 Permanent loans secured by one-to-four family units 689 78 Non- mortgage loans: Commercial and agricultural 711 1,195 Consumer 513 637 ----------------------------------- Total non-accrual loans 3,547 2,953 Foreclosed real estate 274 126 ----------------------------------- Total non-performing assets $ 3,821 $ 3,079 =================================== Total non-performing loans to net loans 0.91% 0.84% =================================== Total non-performing loans to total assets 0.70% 0.62% =================================== Total non-performing assets to total assets 0.75% 0.65% =================================== 10 The residential construction loans are comprised of 9 loans. The outstanding balance of the loans range from $97,000 to $314,000. The loan-to-value ratios of the loans range between 31% and 80%. Each of the loans has been evaluated for impairment and is carried at the lower of fair value or cost. There are 5 permanent loans secured by one-to-four family residential units that range from $54,000 to $301,000. These 5 loans have loan-to-value ratios between 38% and 82%. Commercial and agricultural loans are comprised of 7 loans. The outstanding value of the loans range from $6,000 to $423,000. The largest loan is insured by the U.S. Government and the Bank is awaiting the insured payment which will liquidate the remaining balance of the loan. Each of the loans has been evaluated for impairment and is carried at the lower of fair value or cost. The consumer loan total is made up of 26 loans that range from $465 to $98,000. The foreclosed real estate total, $274,000, consists of three loans with balances of $15,000, $125,000 and $134,000. COMPARISON OF THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002 AND 2001 The following table sets forth information with respect to the Corporation's average balance sheet, interest and dividends earned and paid and related yields and rates (dollars in thousands): Three Months Ended June 30, --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2002 2001 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Interest Interest Average Yields & Average Yields & Balance Interest Rates (1) Balance Interest Rates (1) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Assets: Loans receivable (2) $ 383,296 $ 7,698 8.03 % $ 344,333 $ 7,499 8.71 % Mortgage-backed securities 51,522 641 4.97 44,310 567 5.12 Investment securities (3) 47,261 338 2.86 42,457 416 3.92 ----------------------- ----------------------- Total interest-earning assets 482,079 8,677 7.20 431,100 8,482 7.87 --------------------- ------------------------ Other assets 27,108 23,424 ------------- ------------- Total assets $ 509,187 $ 454,524 ============= ============= Liabilities: Interest-bearing deposits $ 361,621 $ 2,710 3.00 % $ 294,320 $ 3,536 4.81 % Borrowings 98,000 1,379 5.63 113,610 1,650 5.81 ----------------------- ----------------------- Total interest-bearing liabilities 459,621 4,089 3.56 407,930 5,186 5.09 % --------------------- ------------------------ Other liabilities 5,759 5,691 ------------- ------------- Total liabilities 465,380 413,621 Stockholders' equity 43,807 40,903 ------------- ------------- Total liabilities and stockholders' equity $ 509,187 $ 454,524 ============= ============= Net interest income $ 4,588 $ 3,296 Net spread (4) 3.64 % 2.78 % Net margin (5) 3.81 % 3.06 % Ratio of average interest-earning assets to average interest-bearing liabilities 1.05X 1.06X 1. Annualized. 2. Average balances include non-accrual loans and loans held for sale. 3. Includes interest-bearing deposits in other financial institutions. 4. Net spread represents the difference between the average yield on interest-earning assets and the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities. 5. Net margin represents net interest income as a percentage of interest-earning assets. 11 Net Income The Corporation recorded net income of $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002, as compared to net income of $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001. This increase in net income was $276,000 or 24.0%. The increase in net income for third quarter 2002 was the result of increases in net interest income and non-interest income, offset by increases in non-interest expense. Net interest income increased $1.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2002, an increase of 39.3% over third quarter 2001. Such an increase in net interest income was the result of a 153 basis point decline in average cost of funds. The mix of the Bank's deposits helped to stabilize its cost of funds in this lower interest rate environment. Additionally, non-interest income increased from the levels of one year ago, mainly due to gains on loan sales increasing $118,000. Non-interest income was 50.0% of non-interest expense for the quarter. Total Interest Income Total interest income decreased by $195,000 to $8.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002. The average yield on loans decreased to 8.03% for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 from 8.71% for the quarter ended June 30, 2001. During the same period, the average yield on mortgage-backed securities decreased 15 basis points, which was somewhat offset by an average balance increase of $7.2 million. The average balance of investment securities increased to $47.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 from $42.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2001, mainly as a result of an increase in the Bank's liquidity. The average yield decreased from 3.92% for the three months ended June 30, 2001 to 2.86% for the same period in 2002. Total Interest Expense Total interest expense decreased to $4.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 from $5.2 million for the same period in 2001. The average balance of interest-bearing deposits increased from $294.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001 to $361.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002, mainly due to the ING transaction. The average cost of deposits decreased 181 basis points from 4.81% for the three month period ended June 30, 2001 to 3.00% for the same period in 2002, as the rates offered by the Bank decreased. No assurance can be made that deposits can be maintained in the future without further increasing the cost of funds if interest rates increase. The average balance of borrowings decreased $15.6 million to $98.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 from $113.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001. The cost of such borrowings decreased by 18 basis points to 5.63% for the three months ended June 30, 2002 from 5.81% for the same period in 2001. Borrowings decreased as the Bank utilized repayments of loans and an increase in deposits to meet liquidity needs. Net Interest Income Net interest income increased from $3.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001 to $4.6 million for the same period ended June 30, 2002. Average interest-earning assets increased $51.0 million from $431.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001 to $482.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002, while the average yield on those interest-earning assets decreased from 7.87% for 2001 to 7.20% for 2002. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased by $51.7 million to $459.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2002 from $407.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2001, while the cost of those interest-bearing liabilities decreased from 5.09% in 2001 to 3.56% in 2002. Provision for Loan Losses The Corporation's provision for loan losses was $203,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2002, as compared to $90,000 for the same period in 2001. Increases in the Bank's loan portfolio, especially in regard to increases in the residential construction and land and commercial real estate portfolios, precipitated the increases in the provision for loan losses for the current period. Management believes, based on a detailed review of the loan portfolio, historic loan losses, current economic conditions and other factors, that the current level of provision for loan losses and the resulting level of the allowance for loan losses reflects an adequate reserve against inherent losses in the loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses charged to expense. While the Corporation maintains its allowance for losses at a level which it considers to be adequate, there can be no assurance that further additions will not be made to the loss allowances or that such losses will not exceed the estimated amounts. 12 Non-interest Income Total non-interest income increased $188,000 to $2.1 million during the three-month period ended June 30, 2002, as compared to the same period in 2001. Due to the low interest rate environment, loan volume on new home purchases and existing home refinances increased significantly. Since the Bank sells all of its fixed rate loans into the secondary loan market, gains on loans sold increased from $769,000 at June 30, 2001 to $887,000 at June 30, 2002 and service charges and fees increased from $309,000 to $344,000 for the same periods. Non-interest Expense Total non-interest expense increased $946,000 or 29.8% over the periods compared. Compensation and benefits increased $489,000 to $2.4 million at June 30, 2002, mainly due to the ING branch acquisition and the compensation associated with the increase in loan activity mentioned above. Data processing expense increased $51,000 to $241,000 for the period ended June 30, 2002, due to processing expenses associated with the increased delivery of electronic services to customers. Other non-interest expense increased $362,000 to $972,000 at June 30, 2002, mainly due to the amortization of core deposit intangibles associated with the ING branch acquisition and the indirect cost associated with the increase in loan activity mentioned above. Income Tax Expense Income taxes increased by $145,000 to $893,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 2002 from $748,000 for the same period in 2001, which was primarily due to an increase of $421,000 in income before tax. The effective tax rate decreased by 0.9% for the same periods as a result of an increase in tax exempt income of $91,000. 13 COMPARISON OF THE NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002 AND 2001 The following table sets forth information with respect to the Corporation's average balance sheet, interest and dividends earned or paid and related yields and rates (dollars in thousands): Nine Months Ended June 30, ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2002 2001 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Interest Interest Average Yields & Average Yields & Balance Interest Rates (1) Balance Interest Rates (1) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Assets: Loans receivable (2) $ 379,668 $23,331 8.19 % $ 343,606 $23,111 8.97 % Mortgage-backed securities 51,682 1,851 4.78 42,996 1,754 5.44 Investment securities (3) 50,580 1,032 2.72 52,134 1,868 4.78 ------------------------- ------------------------ Total interest-earning assets 481,930 26,214 7.25 438,736 26,733 8.12 ----------------------- ----------------------- Other assets 26,571 23,677 ------------- ------------- Total assets $ 508,501 $ 462,413 ============= ============= Liabilities: Interest-bearing deposits $ 358,215 $ 8,820 3.28 % $ 297,138 $11,489 5.16 % Borrowings 101,839 4,378 5.73 119,460 5.369 5.99 ------------------------- ------------------------ Total interest-bearing liabilities 460,054 13,198 3.83 416,598 16,858 5.40 % ----------------------- ----------------------- Other liabilities 5,320 5,260 ------------- ------------- Total liabilities 465,374 421,858 Stockholders' equity 43,127 40,555 ------------- ------------- Total liabilities and stockholders' equity $ 508,501 $ 462,413 ============= ============= Net interest income $13,016 $ 9,875 Net spread (4) 3.42 % 2.72 % Net margin (5) 3.60 % 3.00 % Ratio of average interest-earning assets to average interest-bearing liabilities 1.05X 1.05X 1.

Net spread represents the difference between the average yield on interest-earning assets and the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities. 5. Net margin represents net interest income as a percentage of interest-earning assets. Net Income The Corporation recorded net income of $4.3 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2002, as compared to net income of $2.6 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2001. This increase in net income was $1.7 million or 67.6%. The increase in net income for the 2002 third quarter was the result of an increase in net interest income and non-interest income, offset by an increase in non-interest expense. Net interest income increased $3.1 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2002, an increase of 31.8% over the same period in 2001. Such an increase in net interest income was mainly the result of a 157 basis point decline in average cost of funds. The mix of the Bank's deposits helped to stabilize its cost of funds in this lower interest rate environment. Additionally, non-interest income increased significantly over the levels of one year ago, with gains on the sale of loans increasing $1.4 million. Non-interest income was 55.3% of non-interest expense for the period. 14 Total Interest Income Total interest income decreased by $519,000 to $26.2 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2002. The average yield on loans decreased to 8.19% for the nine months ended June 30, 2002 from 8.97% for the nine months ended June 30, 2001. During the same period, the average yield on mortgage-backed securities decreased 66 basis points, which was somewhat offset by an average balance increase of $9.0 million. The average balance of investment securities decreased to $50.6 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2002 from $52.1 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2001, as a result of a reduction in the Bank's liquidity. The average yield decreased from 4.78% for the nine months ended June 30, 2001 to 2.72% for the same period in 2002. Total Interest Expense Total interest expense decreased to $13.2 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2002 from $16.9 million for the same period in 2001. The average balance of interest-bearing deposits increased from $297.1 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2001 to $358.2 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2002, mainly due to the ING transaction. The average cost of deposits decreased 188 basis points from 5.16% for the nine month period ended June 30, 2001 to 3.28% for the same period in 2002, as the rates offered by the Bank decreased. No assurance can be made that deposits can be maintained in the future without further increasing the cost of funds if interest rates increase. The average balance of borrowings decreased $17.7 million to $101.8 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2002 from $119.5 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2001. The cost of such borrowings decreased by 26 basis points to 5.73% for the nine months ended June 30, 2002 from 5.99% for the same period in 2001. Borrowings decreased as the Bank utilized repayments of loans and the increase in deposits to meet liquidity needs. Net Interest Income Net interest income increased from $9.9 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2001 to $13.0 million for the same period ended June 30, 2002. Average interest-earning assets increased $43.2 million from $438.7 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2001 to $481.9 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2002, while the average yield on those interest-earning assets decreased from 8.12% in 2001 to 7.25% in 2002. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased by $43.5 million to $460.1 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2002 from $416.6 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2001, while the cost of those interest-bearing liabilities decreased from 5.40% in 2001 to 3.83% in 2002. Provision for Loan Losses The Corporation's provision for loan losses was $628,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 2002, as compared to $885,000 for the same period in 2001. During the quarter ended March 31, 2001, an agricultural loan in the Bank's loan portfolio experienced deterioration. Stored corn collateralized a large portion of the loan, which due to the weather conditions during the quarter, caused spoilage to the corn. Following discussions with the borrower during the quarter, management determined that the loan was impaired and recognized a $615,000 charge to earnings for the 2001 period. See also "Comparison of the Three Months Ended June 30, 2002 and 2001- Provision for Loan Losses". The increase in the allowance for loan losses is a result of the change in total loans outstanding and to a lesser extent, it is due to the changes in various loan categories. 15 The following table sets forth information with respect to the Bank's allowance for loan looses at the dates indicated: For the Nine Months Ended June 30, ---------------------------------------- 2002 2001 ---------------------------------------- (in thousands) Average loans outstanding $ 379,668 $ 343,606 ======================================== Allowance balance (beginning of period) $ 1,541 $ 1,534 ======================================== ING branch acquisition $ 274 $ - ======================================== Provision (credit): Residential and construction 100 - Land and commercial real estate - 25 Commercial and agricultural business 220 670 Consumer 308 190 ---------------------------------------- Total provision 628 885 Charge-offs: Residential and construction 87 - Commercial and agricultural business 276 654 Consumer 411 215 ---------------------------------------- Total charge-offs 774 869 Recoveries: Residential and construction - - Land and commercial real estate - 35 Consumer 34 19 ---------------------------------------- Total recoveries 34 54 ---------------------------------------- Net charge-offs 740 815 ---------------------------------------- Allowance balance (end of period) $ 1,703 $ 1,604 ======================================== Allowance as percent of net loans 0.44% 0.40% Net loans charged off as a percent of average 0.19% 0.24% loans Non-interest Income Total non-interest income increased $1.9 million during the nine-month period ended June 30, 2002 to $6.5 million as compared with the same period in 2001. Due to the low interest rate environment, loan volume on new home purchases and existing home refinances increased significantly. Since the Bank sells all of its fixed rate loans into the secondary loan market, gains on loans sold increased from $1.7 million at June 30, 2001 to $3.1 million at June 30, 2002 and service charges and fees increased from $675,000 to $1.0 million for the same periods. Service charges on deposit accounts increased from $1.2 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2001 to $1.3 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2002. Non-interest Expense Total non-interest expense increased $2.4 million or 24.9% over the periods compared. Compensation and benefits increased $1.4 million to $7.0 million at June 30, 2002, mainly due to the ING branch acquisition and the compensation associated with the increase in loan activity mentioned above. Data processing expense increased $104,000 to $665,000 for the period ended June 30, 2002, due to processing expenses associated with the increased delivery of electronic services to customers. Other non-interest expense increased $882,000 to $2.6 million at June 30, 2002, due mainly to the amortization of core deposit intangibles associated with the ING branch acquisition and the indirect cost associated with the increase in loan activity mentioned above. Income Tax Expense Income taxes increased by $1.2 million to $2.8 million for the nine month period ended June 30, 2002 from $1.6 million for the same period in 2001, which was primarily due to an increase of $2.9 million in income before tax. 16 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Corporation's primary sources of funds are deposits, borrowings, principal and interest payments on loans, investments and mortgage-backed securities, sales of mortgage loans and funds provided by operations. While scheduled payments on loans, mortgage-backed securities and short-term investments are relatively predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and early loan repayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions and competition. The amount of certificate accounts that are scheduled to mature during the twelve months ending June 30, 2002 is approximately $165.3 million. To the extent that these deposits do not remain upon maturity, the Bank believes that it can replace these funds with new deposits, excess liquidity and FHLB advances or outside borrowings. It has been the Bank's experience that substantial portions of such maturing deposits remain at the Bank. At June 30, 2002, the Bank and HMC had outstanding loan commitments of $1.2 million. Funds required to meet these commitments are derived primarily from current excess liquidity, loan sales, advances, deposit inflows or loan and security repayments. OTS regulations require the Bank to maintain core capital of 4.0% of assets, of which 2.0% must be tangible equity capital, excluding goodwill. The Bank is also required to maintain risk-based capital equal to 8.0% of total risk-based assets. The Bank's regulatory capital exceeded its tangible equity, tier 1 (risk-based), tier 1 (core) and risk-based capital requirements by 5.8%, 3.3%, 6.5% and 2.8%, respectively. Management believes that under current regulations, the Bank will continue to meet its minimum capital requirements in the foreseeable future. Events beyond the control of the Bank, such as increased interest rates or a downturn in the economy in areas in which the Bank operates, could adversely affect future earnings and, as a result, the ability of the Bank to meet its future minimum capital requirements.
