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-QSB 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 and nine months ended September 30, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year ending December 31, 1998. 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 and nine months ended September 30, 1998. Material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. (2) Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) The Savings Bank has established for eligible employees an Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP"). The ESOP borrowed $1,322,500 from the Company and purchased 132,250 common shares. 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. 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 Bank's principal sources of funds are cash receipts from deposits, loan repayments by borrowers and net earnings. The Savings Bank had $578,000 borrowed from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines (FHLB) at September 30, 1998 and an agreement with the FHLB to provide additional cash advances should the need arise. 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 4%. The Savings Bank's liquidity ratio was approximately 20.36% at September 30, 1998. Commitments to originate mortgage loans at September 30, 1998 were approximately $457,000. 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 September 30, 1998 the Savings Bank held adjustable-rate mortgage loans of $45.9 million or 72.84% 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 September 30, 1998: Percent of Adjusted Amount Total Assets (Unaudited) (Dollars in Thousands) Tangible capital $19,158 20.32% Tangible capital requirement $ 1,406 1.50% Excess $17,752 18.82% Core capital $19,158 20.32% Core capital requirement $ 2,812 3.00% Excess $16,346 17.32% Risk-based capital $19,546 41.15% Risk-based capital requirement $ 3,800 8.00% Excess $15,746 33.15% Financial Condition Total assets decreased $2 million, or 1.98%, from $97.9 million at December 31, 1997 to $95.9 million at September 30, 1998. The decrease is primarily due to a $1.6 million decrease in loans receivable and a $277,000 decrease in FHLB stock. Cash and due from depository institutions increased $4.1 million from $4.5 million at December 31, 1997 to $8.6 million at September 30, 1998. The increase in cash and due from depository institutions is due to the sale of $12.4 million of fixed rate loans, a large number of which were refinanced loans held for sale and the maturity of securities which was partially off set by the purchase of $2.6 million of treasury stock. Securities available-for-sale decreased $4.0 million from $21.7 million at December 31, 1997 to $17.7 million at September 30, 1998. The decrease in secur- ities available-for-sale is primarily due to the maturity of securities. Stock in FHLB decreased by $277,000 due to the redemption of excess stock by the FHLB. Net loans receivable decreased from $67.0 million at December 31, 1997 to $65.3 million at September 30, 1998 due primarily to refi- nancing and loan sales during the period. It is the policy of the Savings Bank to cease accruing interest on loans 90 days or more past due. Nonaccrual loans increased from $132,000 at Decem- ber 31, 1997 to $170,000 at September 30, 1998 as a result of a commercial real estate loan with a balance of $157,000 which became delinquent. Treasury stock increased by $2.6 million during the first nine months of 1998 as a result of the purchase of 161,179 shares at an average price of $16.35 per share. Results of Operations Net income decreased $11,000, or 5.85%, from $192,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1997 to $181,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1998. Net income decreased $5,000, or 1.21%, from $637,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 to $632,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. Net Interest Income Net interest income decreased $51,000, or 5.99%, from $845,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1997 to $794,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1998 and $95,000, or 5.56%, from $2.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 to $2.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. Total interest income decreased $59,000, or 3.32%, from $1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 1997 to $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 1998 and $101,000, or 2.88%, from $5.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 to $5.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. The decrease in total interest income for the quarter is due primarily to decreases in inter- estincome from mortgage loans, investment securities and mortgage-backed securities which was partially offset by increases in interest income from consumer and other loans and other interest earnings assets. Interest income from mortgage loans decreased by $50,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1998 compared to the same time period last year and increased $95,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 compared to last year. The decrease for the quarter was due to a lower average loan balance this quarter this year compared to the same quarter last year. The increase for the year was a result of higher average balances during the first nine months 1998 compared to the same time period in 1997. Total interest expense decreased from $922,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1997 to $914,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1998 and remained unchanged at $2.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and September 30, 1998. 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 their loans. Management also reviews individual loans for which collection 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 increased from $16,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1997 to $39,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1998. Provision for loan losses increased from $11,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 to a $53,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. The increase in loan loss provision is a result of an increase in classified assets. Classified assets increased this quarter when a commercial real estate loan with a balance of $157,000 became delinquent. Non-interest Income Non-interest income increased from $45,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1997 to $108,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1998 and from $139,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 to $394,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. The primary reason that non-interest income increased in 1998 was the increased gain on sale of loans with servicing released. The Company sold $2.2 million of loans in the second quarter and $12.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and none in the first nine months of 1997. Non-interest Expense Non-interest expense increased from $555,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1997 to $561,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1998 and from $1.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 to $1.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. The increase in non-interest expense during 1998 is primarily due to increases in compensation and benefits and is partially offset by a decrease in deposit insurance and other non-interest expense. The increase in compensation and benefits is due primarily to the recognition of MRDP compensation during the first nine months of 1998 and none during the first six months of 1997. Other non- interest expenses decreased primarily due to first time expenses in 1997 resulting from operating as a public company. Provision for Income Taxes Provision for income taxes decreased from $128,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1997 to $123,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1998 and decreased from $425,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 to $421,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. Year 2000 Considerations The Company has a Year 2000 Action Plan which management is using to identify and correct Year 2000 compliance issues. The Company has reviewed all services and operation components to identify technical and non- technical issues. Having identified internal components and external components, the Company has replaced its computer hardware with Y2K compliant equipment. The Company has requested third party providers to insure Y2K compliance with software and services and has required testing of these services to assure compliance. All third party providers have identified Year 2000 issues and are completing revisions to systems and software to become Year 2000 compliant. Testing schedules are being established with each provider. The primary service provider for the Company is Fiserv who provides data processing. The cost incurred by the Company for Year 2000 compliance as of September 30, 1998 is $70,000. Fiserv will bill for the testing costs of the data processing system at an expected cost is $7,000. Minimal other expense is projected to be incurred. The Company is currently in the testing phase of the Year 2000 Action Plan. This requires the testing of systems and software to insure continued service to customers until and beyond the Year 2000. Failure to remedy Year 2000 issues could result in an interruption of service to customers. The Company is preparing for the event of different systems not being Year 2000 capable as of June 30, 1999. Any system not tested or found to not be Year 2000 compliant will be handled manually or by another provider that is Year 2000 compliant. Currently the Company is on target to have testing completed during the first quarter of 1999. CNS BANCORP, INC.
