AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) (1) Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations and other data for the three months ended March 31, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year ending December 31, 1997. The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the amounts of CNS Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") and its wholly- owned subsidiary, City National Savings Bank, FSB (the "Saving Bank") and the Savings Bank's wholly-owned subsidiary, Parity Insurance Agency, Inc., and its wholly-owned subsidiary, City National Real Estate, Inc., for the three months ended March 31, 1997. Material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. (2) Conversion to Stock Ownership On December 19, 1995 the Board of Directors of the Savings Bank unanimously adopted a Plan of Conversion pursuant to which the Savings Bank converted from a federally chartered mutual savings bank to a federally chartered stock savings bank, with the concurrent formation of the Company. The Company, on June 11, 1996, sold 1,653,125 shares of common stock at $10.00 per share to depositors, borrowers and employees of the Savings Bank in a subscription offering. The proceeds from the conversion, after recognizing conversion expenses and underwriting costs of $531,424 were $15,999,826 and are recorded as common stock and additional paid in capital on the accompanying unaudited consolidated statement of financial condition. The Company utilized 50% of the net proceeds to purchase all of the capital stock of the Savings Bank. The Savings Bank has established for eligible employees an Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP") in connection with the conversion. The ESOP borrowed $1,322,500 from the Company and purchased 132,250 common shares issued in the conversion. The Savings Bank is expected to make scheduled discretionary cash contributions to the ESOP sufficient to service the amount borrowed. The $1,322,500 in stock issued by the Company is reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements as a charge to unearned compensation and a credit to common stock and paid-in capital. The unamortized balance of unearned compensation is shown as a deduction of stockholders' equity. The unpaid balance of the ESOP loan is eliminated in consolidation. (3) Earnings Per Share Earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 1997 have been calculated to be $.15 based upon the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the quarter. (4) Subsequent Event(s): On April 8, 1997 the Company announced a stock repurchase program under which it will acquire up to 5%, or approximately 82,656 shares, of the corporation's outstanding common stock. At the annual meeting, April 22, 1997, the shareholders approved and adopted the CNS Bancorp, Inc. 1997 Stock Option Plan and the CNS Bancorp, Inc. Management Recognition and Development Plan. Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation General On June 11, 1996, City National Savings Bank, FSB (Savings Bank) converted from mutual to stock form and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of a newly formed Delaware holding company, CNS Bancorp, Inc. (Company). The Company sold 1,653,125 shares of common stock at $10 per share in conjunction with a subscription offering to the Savings Bank's Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) and eligible account holders. The Company's principal business is the business of the Savings Bank. Therefore, the discussion in the Managements's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation relates to the Savings Bank and its operations. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Savings Banks's principal sources of funds are cash receipts from deposits, loan repayments by borrowers and net earnings. The Savings Bank has an agreement with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines to provide cash advances, should the need for additional funds be required. For regulatory purposes, liquidity is measured as a ratio of cash and certain investments to withdrawable deposits. The minimum level of liquidity required by regulation is presently 5%. The Savings Bank's liquidity ratio was approximately 19.67% at March 31, 1997. Commitments to originate adjustable-rate mortgage loans at March 31, 1997 were approximately $684,000. Commitments to originate fixed-rate mortgage loans at March 31, 1997 were approximately $195,000. The thrift industry historically has accepted interest rate risk as a part of its operating philosophy. Long-term, fixed-rate loans were funded with deposits which adjust to market interest rates more frequently. From the early 1980's up until 1996, the Savings Bank has originated primarily adjustable-rate mortgage loans for it's loan portfolio. In early 1996 the Savings Bank began keeping some of the fixed rate loans it originates. As of March 31, 1997 the Savings Bank held adjustable-rate mortgage loans of $46.2 million or 74.91% of the total mortgage loans. The Savings Bank is required to meet certain tangible, core and risk-based capital requirements. The following table presents the Savings Bank's capital position relative to its regulatory capital requirements at March 31, 1997: Percent of Adjusted Amount Total Assets (Unaudited) (Dollars in Thousands) Tangible capital $18,236 19.54% Tangible capital requirement $1,400 1.50% Excess $16,836 18.04% Core capital $18,236 19.54% Core capital requirement $2,800 3.00% Excess $15,436 16.54% Risk-based capital $18,576 41.96% Risk-based capital requirement $3,542 8.00% Excess $15,034 33.96% Financial Condition Assets increased from $97.5 million at December 31, 1996 to $98.1 million at March 31, 1997. Cash and due from depository institutions increased from $4.6 million at December 31, 1996 to $6.1 million at March 31, 1997 due to the reinvestment of funds from government securities into shorter term FHLB time certificates. Securities available-for-sale decreased from $27.6 million at December 31, 1996 to $26 million at March 31, 1997. Loans held-for-sale and loans receivable, net increased from $61.6 million at December 31, 1996 to $62.3 million due primarily to the favorable interest rate environment during the period. Accrued interest receivable decreased slightly during the quarter. Deposits increased from $72.9 million at December 31, 1996 to $73.3 million at March 31, 1997. Accrued interest on deposits and advances from borrowers for taxes and insurance increased during the first quarter of 1997. It is the policy of the Savings Bank to cease accruing interest on loans 90 days or more past due. Nonaccrual loans decreased from $310,000 at December 31, 1996 to $94,000 at March 31, 1997 as a result of the loans being paid current. Results of Operations Net earnings increased from $134,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 to $231,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997. The primary reason for the increase in net earnings during the current quarter was an increase in net interest income. Net Interest Income Net interest income increased from $545,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 to $850,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997. Total interest income increased from $1.5 million in the first quarter of 1996 to $1.7 million in the first quarter of 1997. The increase in total interest income is due primarily to increases in interest income from mortgage loans, consumer and other loans and investment securities which was partially offset by decreases in interest income from mortgage-backed securities and other interest earnings assets. The increases in interest income from loans and securities is a result of higher average balances, which reflects the investment of stock proceeds, and higher average yields in those assets during the first quarter of 1997 compared to the same time period last year. Total interest expense decreased from $946,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 to $892,000 for the same time period in 1997. The decrease in interest expense is primarily due to a decrease in the average deposit balance outstanding during the first quarter of 1997 compared to the same time period last year. Provision for Loan Losses Provision for loan losses is based upon management's consideration of economic conditions which may affect the ability of borrowers to repay the loans. Management also reviews individual loans for which full collectibility may not be reasonably assured and considers, among other matters, the risks inherent in the Savings Bank's portfolio and the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral. This evaluation is ongoing and results in variations in the Savings Bank's provision for loan losses. As a result of this evaluation, the Savings Bank's provision for loan losses decreased from a ($5,000) recapture of loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 1996 to a ($27,000) recapture of loan losses for the three months ended March 31, 1997. Noninterest Income Noninterest income decreased from $71,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 to $52,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997. The primary reason that noninterest income decreased during the first quarter of 1997 was the decrease in income from real estate owned. The Savings Bank sold real estate owned during the three months ended March 31, 1996 and there was no such activity during 1997. Noninterest Expense Noninterest expense increased from $433,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 to $544,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997. The increase in noninterest expense during the first quarter of 1997 is due to increases in compensation and benefits and other noninterest expense and is partially offset by a decrease in deposit insurance. The increase in compensation and benefits is due primarily to the recognition of ESOP compensation during the first quarter of 1997 when there was no ESOP compensation for the first quarter of 1996. Other noninterest expenses increased primarily due to first time expenses resulting from operating as a public company. The decrease in deposit insurance premiums is a result of lower insurance premiums this year compared to the same time period last year. Income Taxes Income taxes increased from $54,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 to $154,000 for the same time period in 1997. The effective income tax rates used to calculate the provision for income taxes is 40%. A lower rate was applicable last year due primarily to non-taxable income which included gains on sale of real estate owned. CNS BANCORP, INC.
