In retrospect, the year and the financial changes for the Bank was outstanding. The Bank's assets increased 19.1%, to $405 million. During the year the loan portfolio increased from $171 million to $233 million. The increase was in adjustable rate and short-term fixed-rate mortgages held for investment. The Bank's loan servicing portfolio increased to $1.291 billion. The Bank's deposits accounts balances increased by $22 million. The Bank's High Performance checking accounts has continued to increase at a rapid rate with the total number of accounts being approximately 19,000. The stockholders' equity increased from $36.8 million to $40.0 million, or 8.6%. Looking to the future, Mid Continent Bancshares on September 2, 1997 executed a definitive agreement with Commercial Federal of Omaha, Nebraska to merge. The Board of Directors, after a long deliberation, concluded that this was in the best interest of the stockholders, the future of the Bank, its employees, and the communities it serves. Commercial Federal is an outstanding company and has the same business and community responsibilities as Mid-Continent. The Board of Directors encourage you to vote in the affirmative for the merger of these two companies. We thank you, the stockholders of Mid Continent Bancshares, for your confidence you have shown in the Bank, the Board of Directors, management and our employees. Very truly yours, MID CONTINENT BANCSHARES, INC. /s/Richard T. Pottorff Richard T. Pottorff Chairman of the Board and President 1 Mid Continent Bancshares, Inc. ================================================================================ BUSINESS OF THE BANCORP - ----------------------- Mid Continent Bancshares, Inc. ("Bancorp") is a Kansas corporation organized in January, 1994. On June 27, 1994, the Bancorp acquired all the capital stock of Mid-Continent Federal Savings Bank ("Savings Bank") in the conversion of the Savings Bank from a federal mutual savings and loan association to a federal stock savings bank. Bancorp, as a unitary savings and loan holding company, under existing laws, generally is not restricted in the types of business activities in which it may engage provided that the Savings Bank retains a specified amount of its assets in housing-related investments. The Bancorp's business activities to date have been limited to its investment in the Savings Bank, loans made to the Savings Bank for use in the normal course of its business and to the Mid-Continent Federal Savings Bank Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP") to enable the ESOP to purchase shares of the Bancorp's common stock in the initial public offering and the repurchase of limited amounts of Bancorp stock. The loans bear interest rates and have terms and conditions which prevailed in the market place at the time they were originated. As of September 30, 1997 the Bancorp has reacquired 290,000 shares of its common stock in the open market. BUSINESS OF THE SAVINGS BANK - ---------------------------- Mid-Continent Federal Savings Bank is a federally chartered stock savings bank located in El Dorado, Kansas in Butler County, Kansas. The Savings Bank was founded in 1925 with a charter from Kansas under the name Mid-Continent Savings and Loan Association. In 1935, the Savings Bank adopted a federal charter and changed its name to Mid-Continent Federal Savings and Loan Association of El Dorado. Its present name, Mid-Continent Federal Savings Bank, was obtained in 1994 at the time it obtained a charter as a savings bank. The Savings Bank completed its conversion from mutual to stock form in June, 1994 at which time all of its stock was acquired by Mid Continent Bancshares, Inc. The Savings Bank has been a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Topeka since 1937 and its deposits are insured up to the applicable limits by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"). Mid-Continent is primarily engaged in attracting deposits from the general public and using those funds to originate and sell real estate loans on one-to-four family residences and, to a lesser extent, to originate consumer and construction loans for its portfolio. The Savings Bank purchases one-to-four family residential loans through approximately 125 correspondents located in Kansas, Oklahoma, and in Missouri. The Savings Bank also invests in mortgage-related securities, U.S. government and agency obligations. These activities are funded with deposits from the general public and borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank and Mid Continent Bancshares, Inc. The Savings Bank has offices in El Dorado, Newton, Winfield, Augusta, Derby and Wichita, Kansas, which are located in its primary market area of Butler, Cowley, Sedgwick and Harvey Counties in the State of Kansas. The Savings Bank opened one full service branch in Wichita, Kansas and another in Derby, Kansas in fiscal 1997. The Savings Bank offers its customers fixed-rate and adjustable-rate mortgage loans, as well as FHA/VA loans and consumer loans, including home equity and savings account loans. Adjustable-rate mortgage loans 2 Mid Continent Bancshares, Inc. ================================================================================ generally are originated for retention in the Savings Bank's portfolio while fixed-rate mortgage loans are generally sold into the secondary market. All consumer loans are retained in the Savings Bank's portfolio. The Savings Bank is actively engaged in the purchase and sale of certain mortgage loans through a correspondent network. These purchased loans and loans originated by the Savings Bank are sold, generally without recourse, into the secondary market with the Savings Bank generally retaining the servicing rights. The sale of loans in the secondary market is the source of a significant amount of income in the form of gain on the sale of loans and fees generated from servicing the loans. The principal sources of funds for the Savings Bank's lending activities are deposits and the amortization, repayment and maturity of loans, mortgage-related securities and investment securities, and borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Topeka and the Bancorp. Principal sources of income are interest and fees on loans, mortgage-related securities and investment securities. The Savings Bank's principal expense is interest paid on deposits. 3 Mid Continent Bancshares, Inc. ================================================================================ Selected Consolidated Financial Highlights - ------------------------------------------ The following table sets forth certain information at the dates and the periods indicated.

This number includes persons or entities who hold their stock in nominee or "street" name through various brokerage firms. The Bancorp's ability to pay dividends to stockholders is substantially dependent upon the dividends it receives from the Savings Bank. Under current regulations, the Savings Bank is not permitted to pay dividends if its regulatory capital would thereby be reduced below (1) the amount then required for the liquidation account established in connection with the Savings Bank's conversion from mutual to stock form, or (2) the regulatory capital requirements imposed by the Office of Thrift Supervision. Capital distributions are also subject to certain limitations based on the Savings Bank's net income. See Note 1 of notes to consolidated financial statements. The Savings Bank's total capital at September 30, 1997, exceeded the amounts of its liquidation account and regulatory capital requirements. 6 Mid Continent Bancshares, Inc. ================================================================================ MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF - --------------------------------------- FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - --------------------------------------------- (Dollars in thousands) GENERAL - ------- Mid Continent Bancshares, Inc. was formed to purchase all of the common stock of Mid-Continent Federal Savings Bank in connection with the Saving Bank's conversion from the mutual to the stock form of ownership in 1994. In addition, the Bancorp made loans to the Savings Bank and to the Savings Bank's employee stock ownership plan, from which it receives interest income. The loans bear interest rates and have terms and conditions which prevailed in the market place at the time they were originated. The Bancorp's consolidated results of operations are primarily dependent on the Savings Bank's net interest income, or the difference between the interest income earned on its loan, mortgage-related securities and investment securities portfolios, and the interest expense paid on its deposits and other borrowings. Net interest income is affected not only by the difference between the yields earned on interest-earning assets and the costs incurred on interest-bearing liabilities, but also by the relative amounts of such interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. Mid-Continent Federal Savings Bank is a federally chartered stock savings bank located in El Dorado, Kansas in Butler County, Kansas. Mid-Continent Federal Savings Bank is primarily engaged in attracting deposits from the general public and using those funds to originate and sell real estate loans on one-to-four family residences and, to a less extent, to originate consumer and construction loans for its portfolio. The Savings Bank purchases one-to-four family residential loans through correspondents located in Kansas, Oklahoma, and in Missouri. The Savings Bank also invests in mortgage-related securities, U.S. government and agency obligations. These activities are funded with deposits from the general public and borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank and Mid Continent Bancshares, Inc. The Savings Bank offers its customers fixed-rate and adjustable-rate mortgage loans, as well as FHA/VA loans and consumer loans, including home equity and savings account loans. Adjustable-rate mortgage loans generally are originated for retention in the Savings Bank's portfolio while fixed-rate mortgage loans are generally sold into the secondary market. All consumer loans are retained in the Savings Bank's portfolio. The Savings Bank is actively engaged in the purchase and sale of certain mortgage loans through a correspondent network. These purchased loans and loans originated by the Savings Bank are sold, generally without recourse, into the secondary market with the Savings Bank generally retaining the servicing rights. The sale of loans in the secondary market is the source of a significant amount of income in the form of gain on the sale of loans and fees generated from servicing the loans. Earnings of the Savings Bank are significantly affected by economic and competitive conditions, particularly changes in interest rates, government policies and regulations of regulatory authorities. 7 Mid Continent Bancshares, Inc. ================================================================================ On September 2, 1997, the Bancorp entered into a Reorganization and Merger Agreement ("the agreement") to be acquired by Commercial Federal Corporation ("Commercial Federal"). Under the terms of the agreement, Commercial Federal will acquire through a tax-free reorganization all of the outstanding shares of the Bancorp's common stock in exchange for Commercial Federal's common stock. The exchange ratio will be determined based upon the average closing price of Commercial Federal's common stock during a twenty consecutive trading day period prior to closing. Based on Commercial Federal's closing price on September 2, 1997, Mid Continent shareholders would receive .8693 shares of Commercial Federal common stock for each share of Mid Continent Bancshares, Inc. outstanding common stock. The acquisition is subject to regulatory approvals, the Bancorp's shareholders' approval and other conditions and is expected to close in the second fiscal quarter of 1998. Regardless of whether the proposed acquisition is consummated, the following discussion addresses the financial condition, results of operation, liquidity and capital resources and ongoing strategy of the Bancorp and Savings Bank. MANAGEMENT STRATEGY - ------------------- The Savings Bank's lending strategy has focused historically on the origination of mortgage loans on one-to-four family residences pursuant to underwriting standards. The Savings Bank generally retains ownership of the adjustable-rate and short-term fixed-rate loans it originates and sells long-term fixed-rate loans in the secondary market; accordingly, its lending strategy is designed to reduce the risk of losses on its loan portfolio. However, the high concentration of residential mortgage loans in its portfolio subjects the Savings Bank to risks associated with potential declines in real estate values in its lending area. This risk has been mitigated to some extent, however, through diversification in its investment and mortgage-related securities portfolios. In an effort to reduce interest rate risk and protect it from the negative effect of increases in interest rates, the Savings Bank has instituted certain asset and liability management measures. This strategy includes the following primary elements: (i) originating and purchasing long-term fixed-rate loans primarily for sale in the secondary mortgage market, (ii) maintaining a high percentage of total assets in short-term securities and other liquid assets, (iii) increasing sources of other income, such as gain on sale of loans and loan servicing fees, (iv) increasing its adjustable rate mortgage and short-term fixed-rate loan portfolio and (v) building a loan servicing portfolio whose market value floats inversely to the movement of interest rates. A loan servicing portfolio becomes more valuable as the "turnover" in the mortgage loans slows. Loan portfolios traditionally become more seasoned and experience less turnover after interest rates rise. Therefore, after interest rates rise, the value of a loan servicing portfolio generally increases (assuming credit quality is maintained), causing the opposite effect to the value of the Savings Bank's loans and investments. CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION FROM SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 - ------------------------------------------------------ TO SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 - --------------------- Total assets increased $65,076, or 19.1% from $340,186 at September 30, 1996 to $405,262 at September 30, 1997. The increase is attributable to increases of $11,709 in cash, $62,153 in 8 Mid Continent Bancshares, Inc. ================================================================================ loans receivable, and $1,119 in mortgage servicing rights. Mortgage-related securities decreased $6,259 and investments and Federal Home Loan Bank stock decreased $4,497. Investment securities and FHLB stock decreased from $90,562 at September 30, 1996 to $86,065 at September 30, 1997. At September 30, 1997 there are callable securities with a carrying value of approximately $70,830 bearing interest at various rates ranging from 4.98% to 7.87% with stated maturity dates ranging from 1998 to 2011. The Savings Bank intends to hold these securities to maturity, but the securities are subject to call at the option of the issuer. Loans receivable increased from $171,158 at September 30, 1996 to $233,311 at September 30, 1997. This increase is due primarily to increases in adjustable-rate mortgages and short-term fixed-rate mortgage loans being held for investment and to a lesser extent to increases in the construction and consumer lending portfolio. First mortgage loans increased $59,669 and consumer loans increased $1,029. The Bank expects to increase its residential (one-to-four unit), first mortgage loans in fiscal 1998, but not to the extent that these loans were increased in fiscal 1997. Mortgage servicing rights increased $1,119 during fiscal 1997. During the fiscal year the Savings Bank increased its servicing portfolio for others from $1,229,153 to $1,291,331. Deposit accounts increased $21,840. Savings certificate accounts increased $12,401 and Demand and NOW deposit accounts increased $6,678. Demand and NOW accounts which totaled $43,463 at September 30, 1997 provide a significant amount of low interest-rate funds and a source of service fee income to the Savings Bank. Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank increased $40,100 from $81,700 at September 30, 1996 to $121,800 at September 30, 1997. The Savings Bank utilizes advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank to meet its cash needs as they arise. The Savings Bank has a $68,292 line of credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank, subject to certain limitations, for the purpose of providing short-term financing. At September 30, 1997, $7,300 was outstanding relative to this line of credit. Stockholders' equity increased $3,175, or 8.6%, from $36,807 to $39,982. Net income for the year was $4,170. Other significant transactions during the year included the acquisition of 58,500 shares of the Bancorp's common stock for treasury at a cost of $1,481 and cash dividends paid or payable to common stockholders of $743. See the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Stockholders' Equity for more detail. 9 Mid Continent Bancshares, Inc. ================================================================================ COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR YEARS - ----------------------------------------- ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1995 AND 1996 - --------------------------------- GENERAL - ------- Net income decreased by $980, or 23.9%, from $4,106 for the year ended September 30, 1995 to $3,126 for the year ended September 30, 1996. TOTAL INTEREST INCOME - --------------------- Total interest income increased $3,948, or 24.3%, to $20,173 during the year ended September 30, 1996 from $16,225 for the year ended September 30, 1995. Interest income on loans receivable and on investment securities increased $1,413 and $2,669, respectively. The average yield on loans declined from 7.95% in 1995 to 7.76% in 1996, but increases in the loan portfolio resulted in an increase in loan interest in 1996 over 1995. The average yield of investment securities increased from 6.92% in 1995 to 7.15% in 1996. The increase in rates prompted more investment in securities and increased revenue resulted from both volume and rate increases. Interest on mortgage-related securities decreased $84 as mortgage-related securities were allowed to repay in the amount of $6,746. The average yield on mortgage-related securities increased from 6.92% in 1995 to 7.36% in 1996, but as rates increased, increased repayments took place in amounts sufficient to result in an overall decrease in interest from mortgage-related securities. Other interest income decreased $50 due to reduced average cash balances. The average rate of interest earned on interest-bearing cash accounts decreased from 1995 to 1996, plus the demand for cash to fund loans and investment securities, which paid higher yields, reduced the overall interest yield from cash accounts. NET INTEREST INCOME - ------------------- Net interest income increased $684, or 9.5%, from $7,221 for the year ended September 30, 1995 to $7,905 for the year ended September 30, 1996. Total average interest-earnings assets increased $52,867 from 1995 to 1996. Components of the interest-earning assets are discussed above. Overall the average yield remained unchanged, at 7.49% in 1995 and 1996. The major increase in interest income was due to the increase in interest-earning assets with a lesser benefit from individual rate increases, primarily on mortgage-related securities and investment securities. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $53,614 from 1995 to 1996. Both deposit accounts and borrowed money increased in 1996. Average rates on deposits increased from 4.35% in 1995 to 4.63% in 1996. The average interest rate on borrowed money, however, declined from 6.33% in 1995 to 6.21% in 1996. Overall rates on interest-bearing liabilities increased from 4.59% in 1995 to 4.91% in 1996. The ratio of average interest-bearing assets to interest-bearing liabilities decreased from 110.4% at September 30, 1995 to 107.9% at September 30, 1996. PROVISION FOR LOSSES ON LOANS - ----------------------------- The Savings Bank currently maintains an allowance for loan losses based upon management's periodic evaluation of known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio, the Savings Bank's past loss experience, adverse situations that may affect the borrowers' ability to repay loans, 10 Mid Continent Bancshares, Inc. ================================================================================ estimated value of the underlying collateral and current and expected market conditions. The allowance for loan losses was $423 and $421 at September 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively. The provision for losses on loans decreased $149 for the year ended September 30, 1996. The decrease in the provision resulted from management's evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. While the Savings Bank maintains its allowance for losses at a level which it considers to be adequate to provide for potential losses, there can be no assurance that further additions will not be made to the loss allowances and that such losses will not exceed the estimated amounts. OTHER INCOME - ------------ Other income decreased $582, or 7.5%, during the year ended September 30, 1996, as compared to the year ended September 30, 1995. During the year ended September 30, 1995, the Bank realized gain on sale of servicing rights of $1,961. There was no sales of servicing rights in the year ended September 30, 1996. All other significant sources of other income increased in 1996 compared to 1995. Loan servicing fees (net of amortization) increased by $26, or 0.8%, from $3,102 to $3,128 during the years ended September 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively. Loan servicing fees increased $372, from $4,407 in 1995 to $4,779 in 1996. Amortization of mortgage servicing rights increased $346, from $1,305 in 1995 to $1,651 in 1996. The growth in gross servicing fees was 8.44%. Servicing fees result primarily from service fees paid by investors and correlate closely with the size of the loan servicing portfolio. The change in servicing fees during the year ended September 30, 1996 is reflective of the increase in the amount of loans serviced by Mid-Continent for others from $1,189,892 at September 30, 1995 to $1,229,153 at September 30, 1996. Amortization of mortgage servicing rights are influenced by changes in the servicing portfolio, scheduled loan amortization, anticipated and actual prepayments and changes in market interest rates. Service fees and other charges to customers increased by $693, or 37.5%, from $1,846 to $2,539 during the years ended September 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively. This source of income is primarily a function of the amount of deposits and the fees for deposit-related services charged by the Savings Bank. A primary source of this income is the Bank's high performance checking account program. The Bank also receives late charges related to loans serviced for the Bank, as well as loans serviced for others. Net gains on sale of loans increased by $661, or 93.6%, from $706 to $1,367 during the years ended September 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively. The gains on the sale of loans are attributable to the Savings Bank's secondary market activities and result from a combination of interest rates and management strategies. Gains from the sale of loans are dependent on market and economic conditions and, accordingly, there can be no assurance that the gains reported in current periods can be achieved in the future or that there will not be significant variations in the results from such activities. 11 Mid Continent Bancshares, Inc. ================================================================================ OTHER EXPENSE - ------------- Other expense increased by $1,781, or 21.7%, from $8,202 to $9,983 during the years ended September 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively. This increase is primarily attributable to increases in salaries and related expenses, office supplies and related expense, advertising, federal insurance premiums and promotion. Compensation and employee benefits increased $291, or 6.9%, in 1996 over 1995. The increase is due to normal annual salary adjustments and employment of personnel necessary to carry out the business activities of the Savings Bank. Occupancy decreased $22 and office supplies expense increased $114, in 1996 over 1995. During 1996 the Savings Bank opened one new full service branch in Wichita, Kansas. Data processing costs increased $135 in support of additional branch operations and in response to mortgage banking (including servicing) demands. Advertising increased $34 in the fiscal year 1996 over fiscal 1995. Advertising was increased primarily to promote the Savings Bank's checking account programs. Federal insurance premiums increased from $351 for the year ended September 30, 1995 to $1,504 for the year ended September 30, 1996. On September 30, 1996 the Economic Growth and Regulatory Paperwork Reduction Act of 1996 was signed into law. The Act imposed a special assessment on Savings Association Insurance Fund (SAIF) members to recapitalize the SAIF. The Bank's assessment was $1,053 which was charged to expense immediately. The rate of deposit insurance assessment is expected to materially decline in future periods. Deposit account expense, related primarily to operation of the Savings Bank's checking account programs, increased from $227 in 1995 to $298 in 1996. The Savings Bank intends to expand its checking account and deposit account programs in the future. Miscellaneous loan servicing expense increased $149 in 1996 over 1995. These expenses are directly related to the servicing of loans for others, as well as for the Savings Bank, and can be expected to rise as the Savings Bank grows and expands its servicing portfolio for others. See footnote 19 to the consolidated financial statements, Segment Information, for more information relative to the operation of the mortgage banking segment (which includes loan servicing for others) of the Savings Bank. Operating expenses have increased in recent years due to the Savings Bank's increased mortgage banking operations. For the year ended September 30, 1996, operating expenses totaled 3.4% of average assets, a decrease from the 3.5% of average assets recorded for the year ended September 30, 1995. The operating expense ratios are attributable to loan production and loan servicing activities (which incur operating expenses), and general inflationary pressures on the Savings Bank's operations. 12 Mid Continent Bancshares, Inc. ================================================================================ INCOME TAX EXPENSE - ------------------ Income tax expense decreased $550, from $2,443 for the year ended September 30, 1995 to $1,893 for the year ended September 30, 1996. The primary reason for the decrease was a $1,530 decrease in pre-tax income. The effective rate for the year ended September 30, 1995 was 37.3% as compared to 37.7% for 1996. 13 Mid Continent Bancshares, Inc. ================================================================================ COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR YEARS - ----------------------------------------- ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 AND 1997 - ------------------------ -------- GENERAL - ------- Net income increased by $1,044, or 33.40% from $3,126 for the year ended September 30, 1996 to $4,170 for the year ended September 30, 1997. TOTAL INTEREST INCOME - --------------------- Total interest income increased $5,874, or 29.12%, to $26,047 during the year ended September 30, 1997 from $20,173 for the year ended September 30, 1996. Interest income on loans receivable and on investment securities increased $4,268 and $2,048, respectively. The average yield on loans declined from 7.76% in 1996 to 7.68% in 1997, but increases in the loan portfolio resulted in an increase in loan interest in 1997 over 1996. The average yield of investment securities increased from 7.15% in 1996 to 7.18% in 1997. The increase in rates prompted more investment in securities and increased revenue resulted from both volume and rate increases. Interest on mortgage-related securities decreased $384 as mortgage-related securities repaid in the amount of $6,228. The average yield on mortgage-related securities increased from 7.36% in 1996 to 7.42% in 1997, but as rates increased, increased repayments took place in amounts sufficient to result in an overall decrease in interest from mortgage-related securities. Other interest income decreased $58 due to reduced average cash balances. The average rate of interest earned on interest-bearing cash accounts increased from 1996 to 1997, but the demand for cash to fund loans and investment securities, which paid higher yields, reduced the overall interest income from cash accounts. NET INTEREST INCOME - ------------------- Net interest income increased $1,308, or 16.55%, from $7,905 during the year ended September 30, 1996 to $9,213 for the year ended September 30, 1997. Total average interest-earning assets increased $79,435 from 1996 to 1997. Components of the interest-earning assets are discussed above. Overall the average yield remained substantially unchanged for 1996 and 1997, at 7.49% and 7.47%, respectively. The major increase in interest income was due to the increase in interest-earning assets. Average interest-bearing liabilities increased $81,076 from 1996 to 1997. Both deposit accounts and borrowed money increased in 1997. Average rates on deposits increased from 4.63% in 1996 to 4.71% in 1997. The average interest rate on borrowed money, however, declined from 6.21% in 1996 to 5.98% in 1997. Overall rates on interest-bearing liabilities increased from 4.91% in 1996 to 5.09% in 1997. The ratio of average interest-bearing assets to interest-bearing liabilities decreased from 107.9% at September 30, 1996 to 105.5% at September 30, 1997. PROVISION FOR LOSSES ON LOANS - ----------------------------- The Savings Bank currently maintains an allowance for loan losses based upon management's periodic evaluation of known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio, the Savings Bank's past loss experience, adverse situations that may affect the borrowers' ability to repay loans, 14 Mid Continent Bancshares, Inc. ================================================================================ estimated value of the underlying collateral and current and expected market conditions. The allowance for loan losses was $421 and $465 at September 30, 1996 and 1997, respectively. The provision for losses on loans increased $68 for the year ended September 30, 1997. The increase in the provision resulted from management's evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. While the Savings Bank maintains its allowance for losses at a level which it considers to be adequate to provide for potential losses, there can be no assurance that further additions will not be made to the loss allowances and that such losses will not exceed the estimated amounts. OTHER INCOME - ------------ Other income increased $347, or 4.84%, during the year ended September 30, 1997, as compared to the year ended September 30, 1996. Loan servicing fees (net of amortization) decreased by $29, or 0.93%, from $3,128 to $3,099 during the years ended September 30, 1996 and 1997, respectively. Loan servicing fees increased $62, from $4,779 in 1996 to $4,841 in 1997. Amortization of mortgage servicing rights increased $91, from $1,651 in 1996 to $1,742 in 1997. The growth in gross servicing fees was 1.30%. Servicing fees result primarily from service fees paid by investors and correlate closely with the size of the loan servicing portfolio. The change in servicing fees during the year ended September 30, 1997, is reflective of the increase in the amount of loans serviced by Mid-Continent for others from $1,229,153 at September 30, 1996 to $1,291,331 at September 30, 1997. Amortization of mortgage servicing rights are influenced by changes in the servicing portfolio, scheduled loan amortization, anticipated and actual prepayments and changes in market interest rates. Service fees and other charges to customers increased by $528, or 20.8%, from $2,539 to $3,067 during the years ended September 30, 1996 and 1997, respectively. This source of income is primarily a function of the amount of deposits and the fees for deposit-related services charged by the Savings Bank. A primary source of this income is the Bank's high performance checking account program. The Bank also receives late charges related to loans serviced for the Bank, as well as serviced for others. Net gains on sale of loans decreased by $173, or 12.66%, from $1,367 to $1,194 during the years ended September 30, 1996 and 1997, respectively. The gains on the sale of loans are attributable to the Savings Bank's secondary market activities and result from a combination of interest rates and management strategies. Gains from the sale of loans are dependent on market and economic conditions and, accordingly, there can be no assurance that the gains reported in current periods can be achieved in the future or that there will not be significant variations in the results from such activities. OTHER EXPENSE - ------------- Other expense decreased by $241, or 2.41%, from $9,983 to $9,742 during the years ended September 30, 1996 and 1997, respectively. A decrease in federal insurance premiums for the 1997 year more than offset increases in salaries and related expenses, office supplies and related 15 Mid Continent Bancshares, Inc. ================================================================================ expense, advertising, data processing and promotion. Additionally, $187 of expense has been incurred in the 1997 year related to the proposed merger with Commercial Federal. Compensation and employee benefits increased $533, or 11.75%, in 1997 over 1996. In addition to increases due to normal annual salary adjustments and employment of personnel necessary to carry out the business activities of the Savings Bank, the Bank charged off the total remaining cost of its Management Stock Bonus Plan, an additional expense of $348, which became 100% vested to plan participants upon the signing of the proposed merger agreement with Commercial Federal. Occupancy increased $321 and office supplies expense increased $36, in 1997 over 1996. The Savings Bank opened two new full service branches in 1997. Data processing costs increased $14 in support of additional branch operations and in response to mortgage banking (including servicing) demands. Advertising increased $52 in the fiscal year 1997 over fiscal 1996. Advertising was increased primarily to promote the Savings Bank's checking account programs and two branch openings. Federal insurance premiums decreased from $1,504 for the year ended September 30, 1996 to $204 for the year ended September 30, 1997. On September 30, 1996 the Economic Growth and Regulatory Paperwork Reduction Act of 1996 was signed into law. The Act imposed a special assessment on SAIF members to recapitalize the SAIF. The Bank's assessment was $1,053 which was immediately charged to expense in 1996. The normal rate of deposit insurance premium assessment materially declined in 1997 ($204 for 1997 compared to $451 for 1996). Deposit account expense, related primarily to operation of the Savings Bank's checking account programs, increased from $298 in 1996 to $340 in 1997. The Savings Bank intends to expand its checking account and deposit account programs in the future. Miscellaneous loan servicing expense decreased $101 in 1997 over 1996. These expenses are directly related to the servicing of loans for others, as well as for the Savings Bank, and can be expected to rise as the Savings Bank grows and expands its servicing portfolio for others. The decrease in this expense in 1997 is attributed to a decrease in the rate of prepayments of loans serviced for others. See footnote 19 to the consolidated financial statements, Segment Information, for more information relative to the operation of the mortgage banking segment (which includes loan servicing for others) of the Savings Bank. For the year ended September 30, 1997, operating expenses totaled 2.59% of average assets, a decrease from the 3.4% of average assets recorded for the year ended September 30, 1996. The operating expense ratios are attributable to loan production and loan servicing activities (which incur operating expenses), and general inflationary pressures on the Savings Bank's operations. 16 Mid Continent Bancshares, Inc. ================================================================================ INCOME TAX EXPENSE - ------------------ Income tax expense increased $784 from $1,893 for the year ended September 30, 1996 to $2,677 for the year ended September 30, 1997. The primary reason for the increase was a $1,828 increase in pre-tax income. The effective rate for the year ended September 30, 1996 was 37.7% as compared to 39.1% for 1997. Asset and Liability Management Although the Savings Bank's dependence upon net interest income has been greatly reduced during the past years as a result of the increase in sources of other income obtained through its mortgage banking operation and purchases of mortgage servicing rights ("MSR"), the income from retail operations and assets held in portfolio still depends primarily upon it's net interest income. The ability to maximize net interest income is largely dependent upon the achievement of a positive interest rate spread that can be sustained during fluctuations in prevailing interest rates. Interest rate sensitivity is a measure of the difference between amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities which either reprice or mature within a given period of time. The difference, or the interest rate repricing "gap", provides an indication of the extent to which an institution's interest rate spread will be affected by changes in interest rates over a period of time. A gap is considered positive when the amount of interest-rate sensitive assets maturing or repricing over a specified period of time exceeds the amount of interest-rate sensitive liabilities maturing or repricing within that period and is considered negative when the amount of interest-rate sensitive liabilities maturing or repricing over a specified period of time exceeds the amount of interest-rate sensitive assets maturing or repricing within that period. Generally, during a period of rising interest rates, a negative gap within a given period of time would adversely affect net interest income, while a positive gap within a given period of time would result in an increase in net interest income; during a period of falling interest rates, a negative gap within a given period of time would result in an increase in net interest income while a positive gap within a given period of time would have the opposite effect. At September 30, 1997, the Savings Bank's one year and three year cumulative interest sensitivity gap as a percentage of total assets was a negative 12.4% and a negative 7.0%, respectively. In an effort to reduce interest rate risk and protect it from the negative effect of increases in interest rates, the Savings Bank has instituted certain asset and liability management measures. This strategy includes the following primary elements: (i) originating and purchasing long-term fixed-rate loans only for sale in the secondary mortgage market, (ii) maintaining a high percentage of total assets in short-term securities and other liquid assets, (iii) increasing sources of other income, such as gain on sale of loans and loan servicing fees, (iv) increasing its ARM and short-term fixed rate loan portfolio and (v) building a loan servicing portfolio whose market value floats inversely to the movement of interest rates. A loan servicing portfolio becomes more valuable as the "turnover" in the mortgage loans slows. Mortgage loans traditionally become more seasoned and turnover less as interest rates rise. Therefore, after interest rates rise, the value of a loan servicing portfolio generally increases (assuming credit quality is maintained), causing the opposite effect to the value of the Savings Bank's loans and investments. 17 Mid Continent Bancshares, Inc. ================================================================================ Certain risks are inherent in the business of mortgage banking. There is a risk that the Savings Bank will not be able to sell all the loans that it originates or purchases or, conversely, that the Savings Bank will be unable to fulfill its contractual commitment to deliver loans. In addition, in periods of rising interest rates, loans originated or purchased by the Savings Bank may decline in value. Exposure to interest rate risk is significant during the period between the time the interest rate on a customer's mortgage loan application is established and the time the mortgage loan closes, and also during the period between the time the interest rate is established and the time the Savings Bank commits to sell the loan. If interest rates change in an unanticipated fashion, the actual percentage of loans that close may differ from projected percentages. The resultant mismatching of commitments to close loans and commitments to deliver sold loans may have an adverse effect on the profitability of loan originations in any such period. A sudden increase in interest rates can cause a higher percentage of loans to close than projected. To the degree that this was not anticipated, the Savings Bank will not have made commitments to sell these additional loans and may incur significant mark to market losses, adversely affecting results of operations. In order to minimize these risks, it is the policy of the Savings Bank to cover approximately 75%-85% of the loans that it has originated or purchased with sales contracts with third parties. A mortgage banker that is unable to fulfill its commitments to deliver mortgage loans to third parties will be subject to the payment of fees and monetary penalties as well as the loss of business reputation. The risk associated with failing to meet delivery commitments cannot be eliminated due to the variables created by changes in market conditions and other factors. Commitments to sell loans are considered when assessing the lower of cost or market valuation of the Savings Bank's loans held for sale portfolio. Gap Table The following table sets forth the amount of the Savings Bank's interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities outstanding at September 30, 1997 on an unconsolidated basis, which are expected to reprice or mature in each of the future time periods shown. The amount of assets or liabilities shown which reprice or mature during a particular period were determined by the contractual terms of the asset or liability. The table assumes prepayments and scheduled principal amortization of fixed-rate loans and mortgage-related securities, and assumes that adjustable rate mortgage loans will reprice at contractual repricing intervals. No consideration has been provided for the impact of future commitments and loans in process. 18 Mid Continent Bancshares, Inc. ================================================================================ Within Over 1-3 Over 3-5 Over One Year Years Years 5 Years Total Amount Amount Amount Amount Amount ------ ------ -------- -------- -------- (Dollars in Thousands) Interest-earning assets: Mortgage loans and MRS (1) $106,606 $106,269 $17,401 $37,766 $268,042 Other loans 2.588 2,554 967 1,189 7,298 Investment securities (2) 46,606 3,000 52,399 102,005 ------ ----- ----- ------ ------- Total interest-earning assets 155,800 111,823 18,368 91,354 377,345 ------- ------- ------ ------ ------- Interest-bearing liabilities: Non-interest-bearing deposits 9,692 9,994 3,989 2,651 26,326 Demand and NOW accounts 9,826 2,781 1,837 2,993 17,437 Savings accounts 6,396 759 548 1,430 9,133 Money market deposit accounts 9,216 3,364 1,312 840 14,732 Certificates of deposit 97,076 63,201 7,687 1,068 169,032 FHLB advances 70,800 10,000 41,000 121,800 Other borrowings 3,059 3,059 ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- Total interest-bearing liabilities 206,065 90,099 56,373 8,982 361,519 ------- ------ ------ ----- ------- Interest sensitivity gap (50,265) 21,724 (38,005) 82,372 15,826 ======== ====== ======== ====== ====== Cumulative interest sensitivity gap (50,265) (28,541) (66,546) 15,826 15,826 ======== ======== ======== ====== ====== Ratio of interest-earning assets to interest-bearing liabilities 75.6% 124.1% 32.6% 1,017.1% 104.4% ===== ====== ===== ======== ====== Ratio of cumulative gap to total assets (12.4%) (7.0%) (16.4%) 3.9% 3.9% ======= ====== ======= ==== ==== (1) Includes loans held for sale. Mortgage-related securities are identified as "MRS". (2) Includes investment securities, FHLB stock and interest-earning deposits in banks. Certain shortcomings are inherent in the method of analysis presented in the table above. For example, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods of repricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates. Also, the interest rates on certain types of assets and liabilities may fluctuate in advance of changes in market interest rates, while interest rates on other types may lag behind changes in market rates. Additionally, certain assets, such as adjustable-rate mortgage loans, have features which restrict changes in interest rates on a short-term basis over the life of the asset. Further, in the event of a change in interest rates, prepayment levels and decay rates on core deposits would likely deviate significantly from those assumed in calculating the table. The Savings Bank's analysis of its interest-rate sensitivity incorporates certain assumptions concerning the amortization of loans and other interest-earning assets and the repricing characteristics of deposits. The Savings Bank has made the following assumptions in calculating the value on the above-referenced table: adjustable-rate mortgage loans have prepayment rates ranging from 10 to 31%; fixed-rate mortgage loans have a prepayment rate that is constant through time but varies from 5% for lower contractual interest rate loans to 44% for higher 19 Mid Continent Bancshares, Inc. ================================================================================ contractual interest rate loans; consumer loans have prepayment rates ranging from 4 to 17%; core savings deposits have a decreasing decay rate through time ranging from 100% almost immediately to 15% after one year; NOW checking deposits have a decreasing decay rate through time ranging from 100% almost immediately to 19% after one year; and money market deposits have a decreasing decay rate through time ranging from 91% almost immediately to 38% after one year. The interest-rate sensitivity of the Savings Bank's assets and liabilities illustrated in the table could vary substantially if different assumptions were used or if actual experience differs from the assumptions used. As discussed above and as shown in the preceding gap table and the average balance sheet and rate/volume analysis contained in the annual report, the Bank's net interest rate risk consists of risks from the numerous time periods for maturity or repricing of particular assets or liabilities and from the numerous interest rates that vary over time and because of the maturity or repricing of the underlying assets or liabilities. These risks necessarily impact net interest income. One impact on net interest income results from the interest rate margin (net yield on interest bearing assets). AVERAGE BALANCES, NET INTEREST INCOME, YIELDS EARNED AND RATES PAID - ------------------------------------------------------------------- The following table presents for the periods indicated the total dollar amounts of interest income from average interest earning assets and the resultant yields, as well as the interest expense on the average interest bearing liabilities, expressed both in dollars and rates.

The Savings Bank's Assets Liability Management Committee ("ALCO"), which includes senior management representatives, monitors and considers methods of managing the rate and sensitivity repricing characteristics of the balance sheet components consistent with maintaining acceptable levels of changes in net portfolio value ("NPV") and net interest income. A primary purpose of the Savings Bank's asset and liability management is to manage interest rate risk to effectively invest the Savings Bank's capital and to preserve the value created by its core business operations. As such, certain management monitoring processes are designed to minimize the impact of sudden and sustained changes in interest rates on NPV and net interest income. The Savings Bank's exposure to interest rate risk is reviewed on at least a quarterly basis by the Board of Directors and the ALCO. Interest rate risk exposure is measured using interest rate sensitivity analysis to determine the Savings Bank's change in NPV in the event of hypothetical changes in interest rates and interest rate sensitivity gap analysis is used to determine the repricing characteristics of the Bank's assets and liabilities. If estimated changes to NPV and net interest income are not within the limits established by the Board, the Board may direct management to adjust its asset and liability mix to bring interest rate risk within Board-approved limits. In order to reduce the exposure to interest rate fluctuations, the Savings Bank has developed strategies to manage its liquidity, shorten its effective maturities of certain interest-earning assets, and increase the interest rate sensitivity of its asset base. Management has sought to decrease the average maturity of its assets by emphasizing the origination of adjustable-rate residential mortgage loans, consumer loans and adjustable-rate mortgage loans for the acquisition, development, and construction of residential real estate, all of which are retained by the Bank for its portfolio. In addition, long-term, fixed-rate single-family residential mortgage loans are underwritten according to guidelines of the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("FHLMC"), Federal Housing Administration ("FHA"), Veterans Administration ("VA"), Guaranteed Rural Housing Loans ("GRHL") and the Federal National Mortgage Association ("FNMA"), and are either swapped with the FHLMC, FNMA, and GNMA ("Government National Mortgage Association") in exchange for mortgage-related securities secured by such loans which are then sold directly for cash in the secondary market. 23 Mid Continent Bancshares, Inc. ================================================================================ Interest rate sensitivity analysis is used to measure the Savings Bank's interest rate risk by computing estimated changes in NPV of its cash flows from assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet items in the event of a range of assumed changes in market interest rates. NPV represents the market value of portfolio equity and is equal to the market value of assets minus the market value of liabilities, with adjustments made for off-balance sheet items. This analysis assesses the risk of loss in market risk sensitive instruments in the event of a sudden and sustained one hundred to four hundred basis points increase or decrease in the market interest rates. The Savings Bank's Board of Directors has adopted an interest rate risk policy which establishes maximum decreases in the NPV of 15%, 25%, 35% and 45% in the event of a sudden and sustained one hundred to four hundred basis points increase or decrease in market interest rates. The following table presents the Savings Bank's projected change in NPV for the various rate shock levels of September 30, 1997. All market risk sensitive instruments presented in this table are held to maturity or available for sale. The Savings Bank has no trading securities. Percent Change Change in Market Value of Actual Board Interest Rates Portfolio Equity Change Actual Limit ---------------- ------ ------ ----- (Dollars in Thousands) ---------------------- 400 basis point rise $ 38,443 $ (25,503) (40) % (45) % 300 basis point rise 45,921 (18,025) (28) (35) 200 basis point rise 52,605 (11,341) (18) (25) 100 basis point rise 58,953 (4,993) (8) (15) Base Scenario 63,946 -- -- -- 100 basis point decline 65,307 1,361 2 15 200 basis point decline 63,243 (703) (1) 25 300 basis point decline 63,977 31 0 35 400 basis point decline 66,333 2,387 4 45 The preceding table indicates that at September 30, 1997, in the event of a sudden and sustained increase in prevailing market interest rates, the Savings Bank's NPV would normally decrease, and that in the event of a sudden and sustained decrease in prevailing market interest rates, the Savings Bank's NPV would normally increase. At September 30, 1997, the Savings Bank's estimated changes in NPV were within the targets established by the Board of Directors. NPV is calculated by the Savings Bank pursuant to guidelines established by the OTS. The calculation is based on the net present value of estimated discounted cash flows utilizing market prepayment assumptions and market rates of interest provided by independent broker quotations and other public sources as of September 30, 1997, with adjustments made to reflect the shift in the Treasury yield curve as appropriate. Computation of prospective effects of hypothetical interest rate changes are based on numerous assumptions, including relative levels of market interest rates, loan prepayments and deposits decay, and should not be relied upon as indicative of actual results. Further, the computations do not contemplate any actions the ALCO could undertake in response to changes in interest rates. 24 Mid Continent Bancshares, Inc. ================================================================================ Certain shortcomings are inherent in the method of analysis presented in the computation of NPV. Actual values may differ from those projections presented, should market conditions vary from assumptions used in the calculation of the NPV. Certain assets, such as adjustable-rate loans, which represent one of the Savings Bank's primary loan products, have features which restrict changes in interest rates on a short-term basis and over the life of the assets. In addition, the proportion of adjustable-rate loans in the Savings Bank's portfolio could decrease in future periods if market interest rates remain at or decrease below current levels due to refinance activity. Further, in the event of a change in interest rates, prepayment and early withdrawal levels would likely deviate significantly from those assumed in the NPV. Finally, the ability of many borrowers to repay their adjustable-rate mortgage loans may decrease in the event of interest rate increases. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES - ------------------------------- The Savings Bank is required to maintain minimum levels of "liquid assets", as defined by the Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") regulations. This requirement, which may be varied from time to time depending upon economic conditions and deposit flows, is based upon a percentage of deposits and short-term borrowings. The required minimum ratio is currently 4 percent. The Savings Bank's average liquidity ratio was 9.06% percent during September, 1997. The Savings Bank manages its liquidity ratio to meet its funding needs, including; deposit outflows; disbursement of payments collected from borrowers for taxes and insurance; repayment of Federal Home Loan Bank advances and other borrowings; and loan principal disbursements. The Savings Bank also monitors its liquidity position in accordance with its asset/liability management objectives. In addition to funds provided from operations, the Savings Bank's primary sources of funds are: savings deposits; principal repayments on loans and mortgage-related; and matured or called investment securities. The Savings Bank also borrows funds from time to time from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Topeka (the "FHLB"). Scheduled loan repayments and maturing investment securities are a relatively predictable source of funds. However, savings deposit flows and prepayments on loans and mortgage-related securities are significantly influenced by changes in market interest rates, economic conditions and competition. The Savings Bank strives to manage the pricing of its deposits to maintain a balanced stream of cash flows commensurate with its loan commitments and other predictable funding needs. The Savings Bank usually maintains a portion of its cash on hand in interest-bearing demand deposits with the FHLB to meet immediate loan commitment and savings withdrawal funding requirements. When applicable, cash in excess of immediate funding needs is invested into longer-term investment and mortgage-related securities, some of which may also qualify as liquid investments under current OTS regulations. The Savings bank has a $68,292 line of credit with the FHLB which may be used to provide funds necessary to cover cash shortages on a daily basis, and the ability to obtain various other FHLB advances up to a total borrowing limit of approximately $220,000, the amount of the 25 Mid Continent Bancshares, Inc. ================================================================================ Banks residential housing finance assets. At September 30, 1997, the Savings Bank had total FHLB borrowings of $121,800. Management believes the Savings Bank has sufficient resources available to meet its foreseeable funding requirements. At September 30, 1997, the Savings Bank had outstanding loan commitments of $87,584, and certificates of deposit scheduled to mature within one year of $97,076. As required by the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989 ("FIRREA"), the Savings Bank must meet or exceed three separate standards of capital adequacy. OTS regulations require financial institutions to have minimum tangible capital equal to 1.50 percent of total adjusted assets; minimum core capital equal to 3.00 percent of total adjusted assets; and risk-based capital equal to 8.00 percent of total risk-weighted assets. The Savings Bank's capital requirements and actual capital under the OTS regulations were as follows at September 30, 1997: Percent of Amount Adjusted (Thousands) Assets ------------- ------------ Tangible capital Actual amount $36,179 8.9% Required amount 6,079 1.5% ----- ---- Excess $30,100 7.4% ======= ==== Core capital: Actual amount $36,179 8.9% Required amount 12,158 3.0% ------ ---- Excess $24,021 5.9% ======= ==== Risk-based capital: Actual amount $36,633 22.6% Required amount 12,954 8.0% ------ ---- Excess $23,679 14.6% ======= ===== OTHER MATTERS - ------------- LEGAL PROCEEDINGS - ----------------- Mid-Continent Federal Savings Bank, the wholly-owned subsidiary of Mid Continent Bancshares, Inc., is pursuing its claim against the federal government to recover funds lost as a result of the enactment of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 ("FIRREA"). In 1986, the Bank was encouraged by the federal government to acquire an insolvent thrift institution ("Reserve Savings and Loan Association"). The federal government allowed the Bank to count the insolvent thrift's losses as "goodwill" assets and to double-count as "capital credit" federal government funds provided to help the Bank take over the failing thrift. The Bank contends (among other things) in its lawsuit that the federal government 26 Mid Continent Bancshares, Inc. ================================================================================ breached its contract with the Bank when FIRREA was enacted because FIRREA prevented the Bank from counting such assets toward minimum capital requirements. As a result of FIRREA, the Bank was forced to write off approximately $7,500,000 in supervisory goodwill. This write off reduced the Bank's regulatory capital. On July 1, 1996, the United States Supreme Court affirmed decisions by a federal appellate court that the government had breached express contracts with three thrifts (U.S. v. Winstar Corp, et al.) and therefore was liable for damages. Those lawsuits stemmed from circumstances that are similar to those of the Bank; in order to persuade those thrifts to acquire certain insolvent thrift institutions, the federal government promised accounting treatment similar to that promised to the Bank. While the Supreme Court's ruling in U.S. v. Winstar Corp, et al., serves to support the Bank's legal claims in its pending lawsuit against the federal government, it is not possible at this time to predict what effect the Supreme Court's ruling, and subsequent rulings of a lower court concerning damages, will have on the outcome of the Bank's lawsuit. Notwithstanding the Supreme Court's ruling, there can be no assurance that the Bank will be able to recover any funds arising out of its claim and, if any recovery is made, the amount of such recovery. Possible Year 2000 Computer Program Problems A great deal of information has been disseminated about the global computer crash that may occur in the year 2000. Many computer programs that can only distinguish the final two digits of the year entered (a common programming practice in earlier years) are expected to read entries for the year 2000 as the year 1900 and compute payment, interest or delinquency based on the wrong date or are expected to be unable to compute payment, interest or delinquency. Rapid and accurate data processing is essential to the operation of the Savings Bank. Data processing is also essential to most other financial institutions and many other companies. All of the material computer programs of the Savings Bank that could be affected by this problem are provided by third party vendors. The third party vendors of the Savings Bank have advised the Savings Bank that they expect to resolve this potential problem before the year 2000. However, if the third party vendors are unable to resolve this potential problem in time, the Savings Bank would likely experience significant data processing delays, mistakes or failures. These delays, mistakes or failures could have a significant adverse impact on the financial condition and results of operation of the Savings Bank. 27 MID CONTINENT BANCSHARES, INC.

STOCK CONVERSION On November 23, 1993, the Board of Directors of Mid-Continent Federal Savings and Loan Association of El Dorado unanimously adopted a Plan of Conversion to convert from a federally chartered mutual savings and loan association to a federally chartered stock savings bank to be known as Mid-Continent Federal Savings Bank (the "Savings Bank") and to form Mid Continent Bancshares, Inc., (the "Company"), a Kansas corporation, to act as the holding company of the Savings Bank. At the date of conversion, June 27, 1994, the Company completed the sale of 2,248,250 shares of common stock, $.10 par value, through concurrent Subscription and Community Offerings at $10.00 per share. Included in the total shares sold are 136,000 shares which were purchased by the Employees Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP") at $10.00 per share. Net proceeds from the conversion, after recognizing conversion expenses and underwriting costs of $754 were $21,729. From the net proceeds, the Company used $11,241 to purchase all of the capital stock of the Savings Bank and $1,360 to fund the purchase of 136,000 shares of the Company stock by the ESOP. The Company owns 100% of the Savings Bank's common stock. At the time of conversion, the Savings Bank segregated and restricted $13,434 of retained earnings, which was the amount of its regulatory capital as of December 31, 1993, in a liquidation account for the benefit of eligible account holders who continue to maintain their deposit accounts in the Savings Bank after conversion. In the event of a complete liquidation of the Savings Bank (and only in such an event), eligible depositors who continue to maintain accounts shall be entitled to received a distribution from the liquidation account in an amount proportionate to the current adjusted balances of all qualifying deposits then held. The liquidation account will be reduced annually to the extent that eligible account holders have reduced their qualifying deposits. The Company or the Savings Bank may not declare or pay a cash dividend on any of its shares of common stock if the effect would reduce stockholders' equity below either the amount required for the liquidation account discussed above or the applicable regulatory capital requirements or if such declaration and payment would otherwise violate regulatory requirements. At September 30, 1997 approximately $8,949,000 of the equity of the Savings Bank was available for distribution as dividends to the parent company without reducing regulatory capital below required levels. 2. REORGANIZATION AND MERGER AGREEMENT On September 2, 1997, the Company entered into a Reorganization and Merger Agreement ("the agreement") to be acquired by Commercial Federal Corporation ("Commercial Federal"). Under the terms of the agreement, Commercial Federal will acquire through a tax-free reorganization all of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock in exchange for Commercial Federal's common stock. The exchange ratio will be determined based upon the average closing price of Commercial 36 Federal's common stock during a twenty consecutive trading day period prior to closing. Based on Commercial Federal's closing price on September 2, 1997, the Company's shareholders would receive 1.30395 shares of Commercial Federal's common stock for each share of the Company's outstanding common stock. The acquisition is subject to regulatory approvals, the Company's shareholders' approval and other conditions and is expected to close in the second fiscal quarter of 1998. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments giving effect to the agreement. 3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES Principles of Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, and its wholly owned subsidiary, Mid-Continent Federal Savings Bank. The Savings Bank grants mortgage and consumer loans primarily to customers within the state of Kansas. The Savings Bank has a wholly owned subsidiary, Laredo Investment, Inc., that is engaged in promoting the sale of tax deferred annuities and receives related commissions. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Cash and Cash Equivalents - Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from depository institutions, treasury bills and interest bearing deposits in other banks purchased with an original maturity of three months or less. The Savings Bank is required by regulation to maintain liquid assets in the form of cash and securities approved by federal regulations, at a monthly average of not less than 5% of customer deposits and short-term borrowings. Investment Securities - Investment securities include securities of the United States Government and its agencies and are recorded at amortized cost. Related premiums and discounts are accreted or amortized into income over the lives of the securities using the level-yield method. Securities are not adjusted to market value because management has both the ability and intent to hold these securities to maturity. Capital Stock of Federal Home Loan Bank - Capital stock of Federal Home Loan Bank is carried at cost. Dividends received on such stock are reflected as interest income on investment securities in the consolidated statements of income. Mortgage-Related Securities - Mortgage-related securities are recorded at amortized cost. The related premiums and discounts are accreted or amortized over the estimated lives of the underlying securities using the level-yield method. These securities are not adjusted to market value because management has both the ability and intent to hold these securities to maturity. Loans Held for Sale - The Savings Bank's management designates certain loans receivable at the date of origination or purchase as held for sale as management does not intend to hold such loans to maturity. Accordingly, such loans are carried at the lower of cost (outstanding principal adjusted for net unearned fees and costs) or market value (determined on an aggregate basis with consideration given to forward delivery commitments). Such loans are originated or purchased and intended for sale in the secondary market and are generally sold with servicing retained by the Savings Bank. Gains or losses on such sales are recognized utilizing the specific identification method for financial reporting and income tax purposes at the time of sale. Loan fees, net discounts, premiums and other related costs are 37 recognized at the time the related loans are sold to third-party investors. Interest on these loans is included in interest income on loans receivable. Loans Receivable - Loans are stated at the amount of unpaid principal less an allowance for loan losses, undisbursed loan funds and unearned discounts and loan fees, net of certain direct loan origination costs. Interest on loans is credited to income as earned and accrued only if deemed collectible. Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when, in the opinion of management, the full timely collection of principal or interest is in doubt. As a general rule, the accrual of interest is discontinued when principal or interest payments become 90 days past due or earlier if conditions warrant. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, previously accrued but unpaid interest is reversed against current income. Subsequent collections of cash may be applied as reductions to the principal balance, interest in arrears or recorded as income, depending on management's assessment of the ultimate collectibility of the loan. Nonaccrual loans may be restored to accrual status when principal and interest become current and full payment of principal and interest is expected. Net loan origination and commitment fees are amortized as a yield adjustment to interest income using the level-yield method over the contractual lives of the related loans. Provision for Loan Losses - SFAS No. 114 "Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan," requires the Savings Bank to measure impaired loans based on the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the loan's effective rate or based on the loan's observable market price or the fair value of the collateral if the loan is collateral dependent. One to four family residential loans and consumer loans are collectively evaluated for impairment. Loans on residential properties with greater than four units and loans on business properties are evaluated for impairment on a loan by loan basis. The provision for loan losses also includes an amount which, based on management's estimate, is necessary to establish a general valuation allowance sufficient to absorb possible credit losses within the Savings Bank's loan portfolio. These provisions are made based on the results of continuing reviews by management of the loan portfolio, which includes analysis of borrower's financial data and assessment of a borrower's ability to continue to meet its obligations. These estimates are susceptible to changes that could result in a material adjustment to operations. Recovery of the carrying value of such loans is dependent to a great extent upon economic, operating and other conditions that may be beyond the Savings Bank's control. Premises and Equipment - Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are computed primarily on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. The following represents a summary of estimated useful lives: Years Building and improvements 40 Furniture, fixtures and equipment 5-10 Automobiles 3 38 Real Estate Owned - Real estate owned represents foreclosed assets held for sale and is recorded at fair value as of the date of foreclosure or transfer less estimated disposal costs (the new basis) and is subsequently carried at the lower of the new basis or fair value less selling costs on the current measurement date. Subsequently, properties are evaluated and any additional declines which reduce the fair value to less than carrying value are provided for as a provision for losses on real estate owned. Costs and expenses related to major additions and improvements are capitalized while maintenance and repairs which do not improve or extend the lives of the assets are expensed currently. Gains on the sale of real estate owned for which the Savings Bank grants a loan are recognized upon disposition of the property to the extent allowable considering certain down payments and other requirements. Other Assets - Included in other assets is the excess of cost over fair value of assets acquired, which is amortized using a straight line method over the estimated remaining life of the long-term interest-bearing assets acquired. The excess of cost over fair value of assets acquired is $22 as of September 30, 1996 and has been fully amortized as of September 30, 1997. Mortgage Servicing Rights - The Savings Bank adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 125, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, effective for the year ended September 30, 1997. For each servicing contract in existence before January 1, 1997, previously recognized originated and purchased servicing rights and "excess servicing" receivables are combined, net of any previously recognized servicing obligations under that contract, as a servicing asset or liability. The Statement provides that servicing assets and other retained interests in transferred assets be measured by allocating the previous carrying amount between the assets sold, if any, and retained interest, if any, based on their relative fair values at the date of the transfer, and servicing assets and liabilities be subsequently measured by (1) amortization in proportion to and over the period of estimated net servicing income or loss, and (2) assessment for asset impairment or increased obligation based on their fair values. The implementation of this Statement did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. Originated mortgage servicing rights are recorded at cost based upon the relative fair values of the loans and the servicing rights. Servicing release fees paid on comparable loans and discounted cash flows are used to determine estimates of fair values. Purchased mortgage servicing rights are acquired from independent third-party originators and are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value. These rights are amortized in proportion to and over the period of expected net servicing income. Impairment Evaluation - The Savings Bank evaluates the carrying value of capitalized mortgage servicing rights on a periodic basis based on their estimated fair value. For purposes of evaluating and measuring impairment of capitalized servicing rights, in accordance with SFAS No 125, the Savings Bank stratifies the rights based on their predominant risk characteristics. The significant risk characteristics considered by the Savings Bank are loan type, period of origination and stated interest rate. If the fair value estimated, using a discounted cash flow methodology, is less than the carrying amount of the portfolio, the portfolio is written down to the amount of the discounted expected cash flows utilizing a valuation allowance. The Savings Bank utilizes consensus market prepayment assumptions and discount rates to evaluate its capitalized servicing rights which considers the risk characteristics of the underlying servicing rights. For the years ended 1995 and 1996, there were no write downs or valuation allowances established for capitalized servicing. A write down and valuation allowance of $10 was established at September 30, 1997. 39 Sale of Mortgage Servicing Rights - The Savings Bank recognizes gains on sales of mortgage servicing rights when a legal closing of the sale occurs with title passing to the buyer, all significant risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the buyer, including risks related to default prepayment (including no uncapped risks related to defaults or prepayments) and there are no significant unresolved contingencies. The Savings Bank defers the gain on sale of servicing until these conditions are met. Income Taxes - The Company, the Savings Bank and its subsidiary file a consolidated Federal income tax return. State income tax returns are individually filed for each of the entities. In years prior to September 30, 1997, thrift institutions were permitted under the Internal Revenue Code to deduct an annual addition to a reserve for bad debts in determining taxable income, subject to certain limitations. This addition differs from the bad debt experience used for financial accounting purposes. Bad debt deductions for income tax purposes are included in taxable income of later years only if the bad debt reserve is used subsequently for purposes other than to absorb bad debt losses. Under SFAS No. 109, a deferred tax liability is provided only to the extent the tax bad debt reserve exceeds the base year reserve. The base year reserve is the tax bad debt reserve as of September 30, 1988. Retained earnings as of September 30, 1997 includes approximately $2,071 representing such bad debt reserve as of the base year for which no deferred income taxes have been provided. The Small Business Job Protection Act of 1996 (the "Act") repeals the special bad debt reserve method for thrift institutions. The Act requires thrifts to recapture any reserves accumulated after 1987 but forgives taxes owed on reserves accumulated prior to 1988. Thrift institutions will be given six years to account for the recaptured excess reserves. The Savings Bank must recapture excess reserves beginning with the year ended September 30, 1997. Thrift institutions will be permitted to delay the timing of this recapture for up to two years depending upon whether they meet certain residential loan tests. A deferred tax liability has been provided on the amount of bad debt reserve that exceeds the base year reserve. Revenue Recognition - Servicing fees, interest income, late fees, and other ancillary income related to the Savings Bank's servicing and lending activities are accrued as earned. Earnings Per Share - Common equivalent shares include shares issuable upon exercise of dilutive options outstanding determined under the treasury stock method. The Company accounts for the shares acquired by its ESOP in accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants' (AICPA) Statement of Position 93-6 and the shares acquired for its Management Stock Bonus Plan (MSBP) in a manner similar to the ESOP shares; shares acquired by the ESOP and MSBP are not considered in the weighted average shares outstanding until the shares are committed for allocation or vested to an employee's individual account. The weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding are 2,087,668; 1,962,849 and 1,938,765 as of September 30, 1995, 1996 and 1997. Regulatory Compliance - The Savings Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory - and possibly additional discretionary - actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company's financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Savings Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Savings Bank's assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The 40 Savings Bank's capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Quantitative measures that have been established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Savings Bank to maintain minimum capital amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below). The Savings Bank's primary regulatory agency, the OTS, requires that the Savings Bank maintain minimum ratios of tangible capital (as defined in the regulations) of 1.5%, core capital (as defined) of 3%, and total risk-based capital (as defined) of 8%. The Savings Bank is also subject to prompt corrective action capital requirement regulations set forth by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"). The FDIC requires the Savings Bank to maintain a minimum of total and Tier 1 capital (as defined in the regulations) to risk-weighted assets (as defined), and of Tier 1 capital (as defined) to average assets (as defined). Management believes, as of September 30, 1997, that the Savings Bank meets all capital adequacy requirements to which it is subject. As of September 30, 1997 and 1996, the most recent notification from the OTS categorized the Savings Bank as "well capitalized" under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as "well capitalized" the Savings Bank must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the table. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the institution's category. To Be Categorized as "Well Capitalized" Under Prompt For Capital Corrective Action Actual Adequacy Purposes Provisions -------------- ------------------- --------------------- Amount Ratio Amount Ratio Amount Ratio ------ ------ ----------- ------- ---------- ---------- As of September 30, 1997: Tangible capital (to total assets) $36,179 8.9 % $ 6,079 1.5 % N/A N/A Core capital (to total assets) 36,179 8.9 % 12,158 3.0 % N/A N/A Total risk-based capital (to risk weighted assets) 36,633 22.6 % 12,954 8.0 % 22,480 10.0 % Tier I risk-based capital (to risk weighted assets) 36,179 16.1 % N/A N/A 13,488 6.0 % Tier I leverage capital (to average assets) 36,179 9.6 % N/A N/A 18,774 5.0 % 41 To Be Categorized as "Well Capitalized" Under Prompt For Capital Corrective Action Actual Adequacy Purposes Provisions ---------------- ------------------ ------------------- Amount Ratio Amount Ratio Amount Ratio -------- ------- ---------- ------- --------- --------- As of September 30, 1996: Tangible capital (to total assets) $31,827 9.3 % $ 5,122 1.5 % N/A N/A Core capital (to total assets) 31,827 9.3 % 10,244 3.0 % N/A N/A Total risk-based capital (to risk weighted assets) 32,281 24.5 % 10,551 8.0 % 17,703 10.0 % Tier I risk-based capital (to risk weighted assets) 31,827 24.1 % N/A N/A 10,622 6.0 % Tier I leverage capital (to average assets) 31,827 10.9 % N/A N/A 14,573 5.0 % A reconciliation of the Savings Bank's stockholders' equity under generally accepted accounting principles to regulatory capital amounts as of September 30, 1997 is as follows: Stockholders' equity, core and tangible capital - as reported by the Savings Bank $36,179 General loan loss reserves 454 ------- Risk-based capital $36,633 ======= Estimates - The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of September 30, 1995, 1996 and 1997 and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the years then ended. Significant estimates include loan loss and real estate owned reserves, valuation of mortgage servicing rights and fair value of financial instruments. Actual results could differ from those estimates. New Statements of Financial Accounting Standards - In February 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share. The Statement establishes standards for computing and presenting earnings per share ("EPS"). It replaces the presentation of primary EPS with a presentation of basic EPS. The Statement is effective for the Company's financial statements as of September 30, 1998. The Company's earnings per share under the new standard are not materially different from that reported. In February 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 129, Disclosure of Information about Capital Structure. The Statement establishes standards for disclosing information about an entity's capital structure. The Statement is effective for the Company's financial statements as of September 30, 1998. The Company does not anticipate that the implementation of this Statement will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. In June 1997, FASB issued SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income. The Statement establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components (revenues, expenses, gains and losses) in a full set of general-purpose financial statements. This Statement requires 42 that all items that are required to be recognized under accounting standards as components of comprehensive income be reported in a financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements. This Statement requires that the Company (a) classify items of other comprehensive income by their nature in a financial statement and (b) display the accumulated balance of other comprehensive income separately from retained earnings and additional paid-in capital in the equity section of a statement of financial position. The Statement is effective for the Company's financial statements as of September 30, 1999. The Company does not anticipate that the implementation of this Statement will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. In June 1997, FASB issued SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information. The Statement establishes standards for the way that public business enterprises report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires that those enterprises report selected information about operating segments in interim financial reports issued to shareholders. It also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas, and major customers. The Statement is effective for the Company's financial statements as of September 30, 1999. The Company anticipates that the implementation of this Statement may require additional disclosures. Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1995 and 1996 consolidated financial statements in order to conform with the 1997 presentation. 4.

The Savings Bank has lending activities primarily in the State of Kansas. The Savings Bank originates and purchases both adjustable and fixed rate loans. The approximate composition of these loans is as follows: September 30, 1996 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fixed Rate Adjustable Rate ----------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------- Term to Term to Rate Maturity Book Value Adjustment Book Value 1 mo. - 1 yr. $ 18,246 1 mo. - 1 yr. $ 50,379 1 yr. - 3 yrs. 2,009 1 yr. - 3 yrs. 48,341 3 yrs. - 5 yrs. 2,219 3 yrs. - 5 yrs. 9,419 5 yrs. - 10 yrs. 5,422 5 yrs - 10 yrs. 1,170 10 yrs. - 20 yrs. 28,615 Over 20 years 16,323 -------- --------- $ 72,834 $ 109,309 ======== ========= September 30, 1997 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fixed Rate Adjustable Rate ----------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------ Term to Term to Rate Maturity Book Value Adjustment Book Value 1 mo. - 1 yr. $ 18,296 1 mo. - 1 yr. $ 55,765 1 yr. - 3 yrs. 2,119 1 yr. - 3 yrs. 66,989 3 yrs. - 5 yrs. 2,994 3 yrs. - 5 yrs. 21,098 5 yrs. - 10 yrs. 5,843 5 yrs - 10 yrs. 1,091 10 yrs. - 20 yrs. 49,450 Over 20 years 19,196 -------- --------- $ 97,898 $ 144,943 ======== ========= The adjustable rate loans have interest rate adjustment limitations and are generally indexed to the weekly average yield on United States Treasury securities adjusted to a constant maturity of 1 year. The Savings Bank is subject to numerous lending-related regulations. Under FIRREA, the Savings Bank may not make real estate loans to one borrower in excess of the greater of 15% of its unimpaired capital and surplus or $500, whichever is greater. As of September 30, 1997, the Savings Bank is in compliance with this limitation. 46 A summary of the activity in the allowance for loan losses is as follows: 1995 1996 1997 Balance, beginning of year $ 275 $ 423 $ 421 Provision charged to expense 224 75 143 Losses charged against the allowance (80) (90) (117) Recoveries 4 13 18 ----- ----- ----- Balance, end of year $ 423 $ 421 $ 465 ===== ===== ===== During 1995, the Savings Bank restructured loans with a carrying value of approximately $3,039. No provision for loss was considered necessary based on the restructured terms and the cash flows expected to be generated by the underlying collateral. The Savings Bank did not engage in any troubled debt restructurings during the years ended September 30, 1995, 1996 and 1997. No loans were considered impaired under SFAS No. 114 during the years ended September 30, 1995, 1996 and 1997. Aggregate loans to executive officers, directors and their associates, including companies in which they have partial ownership interest did not exceed 5% of stockholders' equity as of September 30, 1996 and 1997. Management believes such loans were made under terms and conditions substantially the same as loans made to parties not affiliated with the Savings Bank. As of September 30, 1996 and 1997, loans totaling approximately $484 and $932, respectively, were on nonaccrual status. Gross interest income would have increased by $45 and $79 for the year ended September 30, 1996 and 1997, respectively, for nonaccrual status loans 7. MORTGAGE LOANS SERVICED The Savings Bank services primarily single family residential loans for others which are not included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The approximate unpaid principal balances of these loans are summarized as follows: 1995 1996 1997 Government National Mortgage Association $ 902,977 $ 875,381 $ 854,467 Federal National Mortgage Association 132,209 115,492 100,778 Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation 146,624 231,515 330,225 Other investors 8,082 6,765 5,861 ---------- ---------- ---------- $1,189,892 $1,229,153 $1,291,331 ========== ========== ========== 47 The Savings Bank services loans in 16 states. The five largest state concentrations, based on unpaid principal balances, are as follows: Kansas (53.0%), Oklahoma (23.1%), Louisiana (8.0%), Michigan (8.3%), and Illinois (3.5%), aggregating approximately 95.9% of the portfolio. The risk inherent in such concentrations is dependent not only upon regional and general economic stability which affects property values, but also the financial well-being and creditworthiness of the borrower. Mortgage loans and their related servicing rights are sold under agreements that define certain criteria for the mortgage loan. If the criteria is not met, the Savings Bank may be required to repurchase the mortgage loan. Conforming conventional loans serviced by the Savings Bank are securitized through FNMA or FHLMC programs on a non-recourse basis, whereby foreclosure losses are generally the responsibility of FNMA or FHLMC and not the Savings Bank. Similarly, the government loans serviced by the Savings Bank are securitized through GNMA programs, whereby the Savings Bank is insured against loss by the Federal Housing Administration ("FHA") or partially guaranteed against loss by the Veterans Administration ("VA"). With respect to sales of loans, under certain circumstances, the Savings Bank may become liable for the unpaid principal and interest on defaulted loans or other loans if there has been a breach of representations or warranties. In the opinion of management, adequate reserves have been established for losses that may be incurred as a result of obligations to repurchase mortgage loans. The servicing of loans for others generally consists of collecting mortgage payments, maintaining escrow accounts, disbursing payments to investors and foreclosure processing. Loan servicing income includes servicing fees from investors and certain charges collected from borrowers, such as late payment fees.

As of September 30, 1997, there was $7,300 outstanding relative to this agreement. The agreement expires December 26, 1997. 15. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS Pension Plan - The Savings Bank has a noncontributory defined-benefit pension plan covering substantially all employees completing one year of employment and 1,000 hours of service. Plan benefits are based upon years of service and compensation. The Savings Bank funding policy is, acting under the advice of the actuary for the plan, that the Savings Bank intends to make contributions to the trust in such amounts and at such times as they are required to maintain the plan and trust for its employees in compliance with ERISA and Section 412 of the Internal Revenue Code. 54 The following table sets forth the funded status of the plan: September 30, 1996 1997 Projected benefit obligation: Vested benefits $ 1,111 $ 1,276 Nonvested benefits 49 66 ------- ------- Accumulated benefit obligation 1,160 1,342 Effect of projected future compensation levels 453 581 ------- ------- Projected benefit obligation 1,613 1,923 Fair value of plan assets 1,162 1,314 ------- ------- Projected benefit obligation in excess of fair value of plan assets 451 609 Unrecognized net obligation existing at initial application of SFAS No. 87 (141) (131) Unrecognized net loss (52) (144) ------- ------- Accrued pension cost $ 258 $ 334 ======= ======= The assets of the plan consist primarily of certificates of deposit which are included in the Savings Bank's deposits. Net periodic pension cost includes the following: September 30, 1995 1996 1997 Service cost $ 172 $ 181 $ 214 Interest cost 83 101 110 Actual return on assets (63) (87) (104) Net amortization and deferral 7 19 20 ----- -------- ------- Net periodic pension cost $ 199 $ 214 $ 240 ===== ======== ======= For each of the plan years ending September 30, 1995, 1996 and 1997, the weighted average discount rate used in determining the actuarial present value of the projected obligation was 7.0%, the expected rate of increase in future salary levels for plan beneficiaries was 4.0% and the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets was 7.5%. Upon execution of the Reorganization and Merger Agreement (Note 2), the pension plan will be merged with Commercial Federal's existing plan. Employee Stock Ownership Plan - The Company has an ESOP for the benefit of Savings Bank employees who meet the eligibility requirement which includes having completed 1,000 hours of service within a 12 month period with the Company. The ESOP Trust acquired 136,000 shares of 55 common stock in the Company's initial public offering with proceeds from a loan from the Company. The Savings Bank makes cash contributions to the ESOP on a quarterly basis sufficient to enable the ESOP to make the required loan payments to the Company. The note payable referred to above bears interest at prime rate adjustable quarterly with interest payable quarterly and future principal payable in nine installments of $136 beginning December 31, 1995 and annually thereafter and one installment of $68 payable on June 26, 2004. The loan is secured by the shares of the stock purchased. As the debt is repaid, shares are released from collateral and allocated to qualified employees based on the proportion of debt service paid in the year. The Company accounts for its ESOP in accordance with AICPA Statement of Position 93-6. Accordingly, the shares pledged as collateral are reported as a reduction of stockholders' equity in the consolidated balance sheet. As shares are released from collateral, the Company reports compensation expense equal to the current market price of the shares, and the shares become outstanding for earnings per share computations. Dividends on allocated ESOP shares are recorded as a reduction of retained earnings. Compensation expense related to the ESOP was $172, $246 and $361 for the years ended September 30, 1995, 1996 and 1997, respectively. Following is a summary of shares held in the ESOP Trust as of September 30, 1997: Allocated shares 32,910 Shares released for allocation or committed to be released 10,200 Unreleased shares 90,719 -------- Total ESOP shares 133,829 ======== Fair value of unreleased shares at September 30, 1997 $ 3,470 ======== The ESOP will terminate, as of the date of acquisition by Commercial Federal Corporation (Note 2) and the ESOP will allocate and distribute Plan assets to Plan participants and beneficiaries in accordance with the terms of the Plan. Management Stock Bonus Plan - The Savings Bank adopted a Management Stock Bonus Plan ("MSBP"), the objective of which is to enable the Savings Bank to retain personnel of experience and ability in key positions of responsibility. Employees of the Savings Bank are eligible to receive benefits under the MSBP at the sole discretion of a committee appointed by the Board of Directors of the Savings Bank. The MSBP is managed by trustees who are non-employee directors of the Savings Bank. The MSBP purchased 74,833 shares of the Company's stock for $995 during 1995. These shares were granted in the form of restricted stock payable 20% upon date of award (June 27, 1995) and the remaining equally over a four year period beginning June 27, 1996. Compensation expense in the amount of the fair market value of the common stock at the date of the grant to the employee will be recognized over the period during which the shares are payable. A recipient of such restricted stock will be entitled to all voting and other stockholder rights (including the right to receive dividends on vested and nonvested shares), except that the shares, while restricted, may not be sold, pledged or otherwise disposed of and are required to be held in escrow. If a holder of such restricted stock terminates 56 employment for reasons other than death, disability or retirement, the employee forfeits all rights to the allocated shares under restriction. If the participant's service terminates as a result of death, disability, retirement or a change in control of the Savings Bank, all restrictions expire and all shares allocated become unrestricted. Upon entering into the Reorganization and Merger Agreement (Note 2) all plan shares subject to restrictions were immediately 100% earned and non-forfeitable and subject to distribution to Plan participants. As a result, the Company recognized the remaining unearned compensation of $547 related to the Plan as of September 30, 1997. Stock Option Plan - In connection with the stock conversion, the Company's Board of Directors adopted the 1994 Stock Option Plan (the "Option Plan"). Pursuant to the Option Plan, 224,825 shares of common stock are reserved for issuance by the Company upon exercise of stock options granted to officers, directors and employees of the Company from time to time under the Option Plan. The purpose of the Option Plan is to provide additional incentive to certain officers, directors and key employees by facilitating their purchase of a stock interest in the Company. The Option Plan provides for a term of ten years, after which no awards may be made, unless earlier terminated by the Board of Directors pursuant to the Option Plan. The Option Plan is administered by a committee of at least three non-employee directors designated by the Board of Directors (the "Option Committee"). The Option Committee selects the employees to whom options are to be granted and the number of shares to be granted. The option price may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the shares on the date of the grant, and no option shall be exercisable after the expiration of ten years from the grant date. In the case of any employee who owns more than 10% of the outstanding common stock at the time the option is granted, the option price may not be less than 110% of the fair market value of the shares on the date of the grant, and the option shall not be exercisable after the expiration of five years from the grant date. The exercise price may be paid in cash, shares of the common stock, or a combination of both. On January 27, 1995 the Option Committee granted options for 165,476 shares of common stock, at an exercise price of $11.75 (market value at date of grant) per share. All such options are exercisable immediately (for nonemployee directors) or otherwise generally at the rate of one-third following one year after the date of the grant and one-third annually thereafter. Options on 161,773 shares are exercisable and outstanding at September 30, 1997. Options on 3,703 shares were exercised during the year ended September 30, 1997. The stock option plan is accounted for under Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25. The disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, are not required as all of the stock options were granted prior to the date of disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123. Upon entering into the Reorganization and Merger Agreement (Note 2), all outstanding stock option awards became immediately exercisable. If the merger is treated as a pooling of interests for accounting purposes, each outstanding option to purchase Company Common Stock will be converted to an economically equivalent number of Commercial Federal Corporation Common Stock shares. However, if the merger is not treated as a pooling of interests for accounting purposes, then the Option Plan will be terminated and each holder of options will receive a cash payment in the amount of the per share 57 value of the optioned shares, less the exercise price of such options, net of any cash which must be withheld under federal and state income tax requirements. 16. OUTSIDE DIRECTORS' RETIREMENT PLAN The Savings Bank has a consultation and retirement plan for outside directors which became effective January 1, 1995. The plan provides retirement benefits for outside directors after they have completed ten years of service to the Savings Bank and reached age 65. The benefits include $300 per month payment for 120 months beginning at age 75. In the event of death, disability or retirement of a director on or after age 65 or in the event of a change in control of the Company or the Savings Bank, such payments will commence to the director or their beneficiary as if age 75 was attained. Management estimates approximately $114 relate to severance benefits payable upon consummation of the Reorganization and Merger (Note 2). Expense related to the retirement plan is amortized ratably over the service period which is also the vesting period. Total expense related to this plan was $141, $10 and $10 for the years ended September 30, 1995, 1996 and 1997, respectively. The plan is unfunded. 17. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES As of September 30, 1996, the Savings Bank had commitments to originate loans approximating $63,743 of which approximately $39,491 were fixed-rate (interest rates ranging from 6.00% to 9.00%) and $24,252 were floating rate commitments. As of September 30, 1997, the Savings Bank had commitments to originate loans approximating $87,584 of which approximately $49,481 were fixed-rate (interest rates ranging from 4.75% to 8.5%) and $38,103 were floating rate commitments. These commitments are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Certain of the commitments are expected to expire without being fully drawn upon; the total commitments amount disclosed above does not necessarily represent future cash requirements due to normal fallout experience. The Savings Bank evaluates each customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained if considered necessary by the Savings Bank upon extension of credit is based on management's credit evaluation of the borrower. As of September 30, 1996 and 1997, the Savings Bank has approximately $28,345 and $34,191 of commitments to sell loans to third parties, which includes $28,345 and $32,246 of forward commitments to sell mortgage-related securities, respectively. These instruments contain an element of risk in the event the counterparties may be unable to meet the terms of such agreements. In the event the parties to delivery commitments were unable to fulfill their obligations, the Savings Bank would be required to sell its product to other parties and would be exposed to market fluctuations. The Savings Bank minimizes its risk exposure by limiting the counterparties to those that meet established credit and capital guidelines. Management does not expect any counterparty to default on its obligations and, therefore, does not expect to incur any cost due to counterparty default. The Savings Bank does not require nor place collateral for any delivery commitments. Any unrealized gain or loss on these commitment obligations are considered in conjunction with the Savings Bank's lower of cost or market valuation of its loans held for sale. The Savings Bank is contingently liable on loans sold with recourse. The principal balance of these loans is $207 as of September 30, 1997. 58 18. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Company using available market information and a selection from a variety of valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is necessarily required to interpret market data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented are not necessarily indicative of the amount the Company could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. The estimated fair value of the Company's financial instruments as of September 30, 1996 and 1997 are as follows: 1996 1997 --------------------- -------------------- Estimated Estimated Carrying Fair Carrying Fair Amount Value Amount Value Assets: Cash and cash equivalents $ 5,618 $ 5,618 $ 17,327 $ 17,327 Investment securities 86,235 83,827 79,390 79,220 Capital stock of Federal Home Loan Bank 4,327 4,327 6,675 6,675 Mortgage-related securities 34,383 34,366 28,124 28,556 Loans held for sale 13,718 13,816 13,894 14,078 Loans receivable 171,158 173,295 233,311 236,697 Mortgage servicing rights 12,496 18,326 13,615 19,508 Liabilities: Deposits 214,493 215,016 236,333 237,311 Advances from Federal Home Loan Bank 81,700 81,857 121,800 121,549 Accrued and other liabilities 4,683 4,683 4,039 4,039 1996 1997 -------------------- -------------------- Contract Estimated Contract Estimated or Unrealized or Unrealized Notional Gain Notional Gain Amount (Loss) Amount (Loss) Off-balance sheet financial instruments: Lending commitments - fixed rate, net $ 39,491 $ 117 $ 49,481 $ 235 Lending commitments - floating rate 24,252 38,103 Commitments to sell loans 28,345 (64) 34,191 150 The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of the financial instruments. Cash and Cash Equivalents and Accrued and Other Liabilities - The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents and accrued and other liabilities are a reasonable estimate of their fair value. 59 Investment Securities, Mortgage-Related Securities and Loans Held for Sale - Estimated fair values of investment securities, mortgage-related securities and loans held for sale are based on quoted market prices where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are estimated using quoted market prices for similar instruments. Capital Stock of Federal Home Loan Bank - The carrying value of capital stock of Federal Home Loan Bank approximates its fair value. Mortgage Servicing Rights - Fair values are determined by discounting the estimated future net cash flows using consensus market prepayment assumptions and discount rates which consider the risk characteristics of the underlying servicing rights. The significant risk characteristics considered by the Company are loan type, period of origination and interest rate. Loans Receivable - Fair values are estimated for portfolios with similar financial characteristics. Loans are segregated by type, such as single family residential mortgages, multi-family residential mortgages, nonresidential and installment loans. Each loan category is further segmented into fixed and variable interest rate categories. Future cash flows of these loans are discounted using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities. Deposits - The estimated fair value of demand deposits and savings accounts is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The estimated fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities. Advances from Federal Home Loan Bank - The estimated fair value of advances from Federal Home Loan Bank is determined by discounting the future cash flows of existing advances using rates currently available on advances from Federal Home Loan Bank having similar characteristics. Lending Commitments - Fixed Rate - The estimated fair value of commitments to originate fixed-rate loans is determined based on the difference between current levels of interest rates and the committed rates. The notional amount of lending commitments - fixed rate represents the amount which the Savings Bank expects to fund. The Savings Bank's estimate of unrealized gains and losses, based on experience, is that 25% of its lending commitments - fixed rate will not close. Lending Commitments - Floating Rate - There is no estimated unrealized gain (loss) attributable to floating rate lending commitments due to their floating interest rate nature. Commitments to Sell Loans - The estimated unrealized gain (loss) associated with commitments to sell loans is based on current market prices that the buyer will pay or demand for assuming such commitments. The fair value estimates presented herein are based on pertinent information available to management as of September 30, 1996 and 1997. Although management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the estimated fair value amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these financial statements since that date. Therefore, current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein. 60 19. SEGMENT INFORMATION The Savings Bank's operations include two reportable segments: savings and loan and mortgage banking. The savings and loan segment is composed of those operations involved in originating mortgage loans held for investment, primarily on single family residences; investing in mortgage-related securities, United States Treasury and other U.S. Government agencies' securities and receiving deposits from customers. The mortgage banking segment is composed of those operations involved in originating and purchasing residential mortgage loans for resale in the secondary mortgage market and in servicing loans for others. Intersegment interest income and expense represent interest on loans and advances from the savings and loan segment to the mortgage banking segment computed at the prime rate of interest. 1995 --------------------------------------------------------- Savings Mortgage Bank Banking Eliminations Consolidated Interest income: Unaffiliated customers $ 14,499 $ 1,726 $ 16,225 Intersegment 1,937 $ (1,937) --------- --------- --------- --------- Total interest income 16,436 1,726 (1,937) 16,225 --------- --------- --------- --------- Interest expense: Unaffiliated customers 9,004 9,004 Intersegment 1,937 (1,937) --------- --------- --------- --------- Total interest expense 9,004 1,937 (1,937) 9,004 --------- --------- --------- --------- Net interest income (expense) 7,432 (211) $ 7,221 ========= Provision for loan losses (224) (224) Other income 1,580 6,174 7,754 Other expense (5,431) (2,771) (8,202) --------- --------- --------- Income before income taxes $ 3,357 $ 3,192 $ 6,549 ========= ========= ========= Identifiable assets $ 214,649 $ 56,274 $ 270,923 ========= ========= ========= Depreciation and amortization expense $ 338 $ 55 $ 393 ========= ========= ========= Capital expenditures $ 1,014 $ 403 $ 1,417 ========= ========= ========= 61 1996 ------------------------------------------------------- Savings Mortgage Bank Banking Eliminations Consolidated Interest income: Unaffiliated customers $ 17,859 $ 2,314 $ 20,173 Intersegment 2,723 $ (2,723) --------- --------- -------- --------- Total interest income 20,582 2,314 (2,723) 20,173 --------- --------- -------- --------- Interest expense: Unaffiliated customers 12,268 12,268 Intersegment 2,723 (2,723) --------- --------- -------- --------- Total interest expense 12,268 2,723 (2,723) 12,268 --------- --------- -------- --------- Net interest income (expense) 8,314 (409) $ 7,905 ========= Provision for loan losses (75) (75) Other income 2,121 5,051 7,172 Other expense (6,962) (3,021) (9,983) --------- --------- --------- Income before income taxes $ 3,398 $ 1,621 $ 5,019 ========= ========= ========= Identifiable assets $ 293,415 $ 46,771 $ 340,186 ========= ========= ========= Depreciation expense $ 257 $ 87 $ 344 ========= ========= ========= Capital expenditures $ 1,489 $ 369 $ 1,858 ========= ========= ========= 62 1997 ------------------------------------------------------- Savings Mortgage Bank Banking Eliminations Consolidated Interest income: Unaffiliated customers $ 23,994 $ 2,053 $ 26,047 Intersegment 2,624 $ (2,624) --------- --------- --------- --------- Total interest income 26,618 2,053 (2,624) 26,047 --------- --------- --------- --------- Interest expense: Unaffiliated customers 16,834 16,834 Intersegment 2,624 (2,624) --------- --------- --------- --------- Total interest expense 16,834 2,624 (2,624) 16,834 --------- --------- --------- --------- Net interest income (expense) 9,784 (571) $ 9,213 ========= Provision for loan losses (143) (143) Other income 2,575 4,944 7,519 Other expense (7,200) (2,542) (9,742) --------- --------- --------- Income before income taxes 5,016 1,831 $ 6,847 ========= ========= ========= Identifiable assets $ 354,504 $ 50,758 $ 405,262 ========= ========= ========= Depreciation expense $ 425 $ 91 $ 516 ========= ========= ========= Capital expenditures $ 1,319 $ 149 $ 1,468 ========= ========= ========= 63 20.

INTEREST RATE RISK The Company is engaged principally in providing first mortgage loans to individuals. For the year ending September 30, 1997, the Company had average interest earnings assets of approximately $348,783 having a weighted average effective yield of 7.47% and average interest bearing liabilities of approximately $330,726 having a weighted average effective interest rate of 5.09%. The average maturity or repricing of interest earning assets is generally longer than that of the liabilities. The shorter duration of interest sensitive liabilities indicates that the Company is exposed to interest rate risk because, in a rising rate environment, liabilities will be repricing upwards more rapidly than the Company's interest sensitive assets, thereby reducing net interest income. 67 23. FEDERAL LEGISLATION In September 1996, legislation was enacted which included a comprehensive reform of the banking and thrift industries. The legislation imposed a one-time assessment on qualifying thrift deposits to recapitalize the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF"), the fund which insures thrift deposits, and ultimately merged the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF") and the SAIF, at which time banks and thrifts now pay the same deposit insurance premiums. The amount of the one-time assessment was .657% on qualifying thrift deposits as of March 31, 1995. This one-time assessment of $1,053 is included in federal insurance premiums for the year ended September 30, 1996.
