AND SUBSIDIARY Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) Basis of Presentation -- The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the information contained herein reflects all postings and disclosures (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial condition, results of operations, changes in stockholders' equity, and changes in cash flows for the periods disclosed. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996, are not necessarily indicative of the results anticipated for the year ended December 31, 1996. For additional information, refer to the consolidated audited financial statements and footnotes thereto included in United Savings Bank's annual report and Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 1995. Organizational Structure -- In the second quarter of 1996 a holding company structure was approved by shareholders and regulators with United Savings Bank becoming the wholly owned subsidiary of a newly formed Minnesota corporation, United Financial Corp. Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements, as of June 30, 1996, include the accounts of United Financial Corp. (the Holding Company) and its wholly owned and regulated thrift institution subsidiary, United Savings Bank (the Bank). The consolidated financial statements also include the Community Service Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Bank. The Community Service Corporation, a Montana corporation, was formed in 1974 and engages in real estate management. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Cash Equivalents -- For purposes of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, all cash, daily interest and noninterest-bearing deposits with banks are classified as cash equivalents. Computation of Earnings Per Share -- Earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of shares outstanding for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 1996, 1995, and for the year ended December 31, 1995, were 1,223,312 shares. Dividends Declared -- On April 24, 1996, the Board of Directors of the Bank declared a second-quarter 1996 cash dividend of $.22 per share, paid May 27, 1996, to shareholders of record on May 13, 1996. On July 22, 1996, the Board of Directors of the Holding Company declared a third-quarter 1996 cash dividend of $.225 per share, payable August 26, 1996, to shareholders of record on August 12, 1996. Material Contracts-Severance Agreements -- During fiscal year 1994, the Bank's Board of Directors approved change of control severance agreements for the Bank's President and each of the five Vice-Presidents. The agreements provide for severance compensation in the event any company or person acquires control of the Bank, as determined in accordance with applicable federal regulations. Pursuant to his agreement upon a change of control, the Bank's President would be entitled to lump-sum compensation equal to two times his annual base salary plus any target bonuses, and 24 months of continued welfare and employee benefits. The agreements with each of the five Vice-Presidents provide for payment, upon a change of control, of lump-sum compensation equal to each annual base salary, plus any target bonuses, and 12 months of continued welfare and employee benefits. Emerging Legislation -- Updating the discussion on pages 6 and 7 of the Bank's 1995 Annual Report, the Budget Reconciliation Bill (Budget Bill) that included BIF/SAIF FDIC insurance legislation and thrift bad debt reserves recapture relief was vetoed by President Clinton. Attempts are now being made to include these two provisions as part of Budget Bill 1996 Continuing Resolutions. In addition, separate legislation is now being debated before Congress that addresses both the BIF versus SAIF FDIC insurance premium and insurance reserve ratio disparity, as well as thrift bad debt reserve recapture relief. It continues likely, as previous reported, that the Bank will be charged a one time FDIC insurance special assessment of approximately $.85 per $100 of insured deposits. If assessed against the Bank's March 31, 1995 insured deposits, this assessment would result in an approximate $713,000 (pre-tax) reduction in earnings and an approximate $.37 per share (after tax) reduction in earnings per share. What impact a final Budget Bill, along with other changes in federal law regarding interstate banking and branching, Glass-Stegall Act revisions, the potential merger of federal regulatory agencies, the continued consolidation of the banking industry and other regulatory changes will have on the Bank's operations are now under review and cannot be predicted at this time. Debt and Equity Investment Accounting -- In May 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement No. 115, "Accounting for Investments in Certain Debt and Equity Securities." This Statement addresses the accounting and reporting for investments in equity securities that have readily determinable fair values and all investments in debt securities. These investments are to be classified into the following three categories and accounted for as follows: 1) Debt securities purchased with the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held-to-maturity and reported at amortized cost. 2) Debt and equity securities purchased and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term are classified as trading securities and reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses included in earnings. 3) Debt and equity securities not classified as either held-to-maturity securities or trading securities are classified as available-for-sale and reported at fair value, with net unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported (net of tax effect) as a separate component of stockholders' equity. Statement 115 was implemented January 1, 1994. The existing policy of not maintaining a trading portfolio was retained. All investment securities are classified as either held-to-maturity or available-for-sale. Held-to-maturity investments, shown at cost, are comprised of mortgage-backed securities, Federal Home Loan Bank certificates of deposit and U.S. Government securities and agencies. Available-for-sale securities, shown at fair value with net unrealized holding gains and losses, net of tax, reported in stockholders' equity, are comprised of the Kemper U.S. Government bond fund and U.S. Government securities and agencies. A comparison of the amortized cost and estimated fair value of investment securities at the dates indicated is as follows: (Unaudited, except December 31) June 30, 1996 (Dollars in thousands) -------------------------------------- Gross Gross Estimated Amortized Unreal.

During the six months ended June 30, 1995, available-for-sale investment securities with a book value of $6,001,458 were sold realizing a net gain of $2,178. Regulatory Capital -- United Savings Bank (the Bank), the wholly owned regulated thrift institution of the Holding Company is required to meet three FIRREA-enacted capital regulations: (1) a tangible capital requirement (stockholders' equity adjusted for the effects of intangibles, investments and advances to "nonincludable" subsidiaries and other factors) equal to not less than 1.5% of tangible assets (as defined in the regulations), (2) a core capital requirement, comprised of tangible capital adjusted for supervisory goodwill and other defined factors equal to not less than 3% of tangible assets, and (3) a risk-based capital requirement equal to 8% of all risk- weighted assets. For risk-weighting, selected assets are given a risk assignment of 0% to 100%. For example, cash and securities backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government are risk-weighted at 0% of book value, while repossessed assets and delinquent loans over 90 days past due are assigned a 100% factor, or a risk-weighting equal to their book value. The Bank's total risk-weighted assets at June 30, 1996 were approximately $30,911,000. The following table demonstrates as of June 30, 1996, the extent to which the Bank exceeds in dollars and in percent, the three minimum regulatory capital requirements: Unaudited-Regulatory Capital (Dollars in thousands) -------------------------------- Actual Requirement Excess ------ ----------- ------ Tangible capital: $ Amount $15,282 $1,425 $13,857 % of tangible assets 16.1% 1.5% 14.6% Core capital: $ Amount $15,282 $2,849 $12,433 % of tangible assets 16.1% 3.0% 13.1% Risk-based capital: $ Amount $15,317 $2,473 $12,844 % of risk-weighted assets 49.6% 8.0% 41.6% Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) capital as shown on the consolidated financial statements differs from tangible, core and risk-based regulatory capital at June 30, 1996 as follows: (Unaudited) (Dollars in thousands) Consolidated GAAP capital $24,507 Holding company (8,901) -------- Bank GAAP capital 15,606 Non-includable assets of Bank subsidiary (408) Unrealized loss on certain securities available-for-sale 84 -------- Tangible and core capital 15,282 General loan valuation allowances 75 Other assets required to be deducted (40) -------- Risk-based capital $15,317 ======== The Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) is responsible for insuring that capital standards reflect interest rate risk (IRR), defined as the potential for the reduction of earnings and stockholders' equity resulting from changes in market interest rates. The OTS has delayed implementation of a proposed capital deduction for savings institutions with a greater than normal level of IRR as calculated by an OTS Net Portfolio Value Model. Due to its current capital position, most recent OTS calculated IRR and proposed exemption criteria, the Bank would not have an IRR capital adjustment. Failure to comply with applicable regulatory capital requirements can result in capital directives from the director of the OTS, restrictions on growth, and other limitations on a savings association's operations. The following table sets forth for the second quarter 1996, information regarding (1) average balance sheets, (2) an analysis of net interest income, and (3) other information regarding changes in interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.

(1) MATERIAL CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION. COMPARISON OF THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD FROM DECEMBER 31, 1995, TO JUNE 30, 1996. (Unaudited, except December 31) Selected Financial Condition Recap (Dollars in thousands) June 30, December 31, 1996 1995 Change --------- ------------ --------- Total assets $104,195 $114,440 ($10,245) Cash and cash equivalents 768 1,221 (453) Investments (held-to-maturity) 34,123 43,117 (8,994) Investments (available-for-sale) 33,595 35,261 (1,666) Loans receivable, net 30,977 30,352 625 Real estate owned 674 491 183 Other assets 4,058 3,998 60 Deposits 78,604 78,291 313 Federal Home Loan Bank advances 200 10,500 (10,300) Total liabilities 79,688 89,753 (10,065) Stockholders' equity, net 24,507 24,688 (181) General -- The $10.2 million, or 9%, decrease in assets resulted from the repayment of borrowings (FHLB advances) outstanding at the end of 1995. The $10.5 million of debt was repaid from $25.6 million of cash flows from investment securities. Due to a weaker economy, the Federal Reserve Board made two interest rate policy changes and lowered rates in late December 1995 and late January 1996. However, beginning in February and continuing throughout the first half of 1996 market interest again rose on improving employment and renewed inflation fears. Investments -- The two investment categories decreased a combined net $10.7 million, or 14%. This change was comprised primarily of $5.0 million of matured and called available-for-sale securities, a $1.0 million matured held- to-maturity investment, and $16.4 million of mortgage-backed securities principal repayments, offset by $8.3 million of held-to-maturity securities purchases and $6.9 million of available-for-sale securities purchases. In addition, $3.1 million of proceeds were received from the sale of an available-for-sale security. A $132,400 gain was realized from this sale. Loans Receivable -- For the six months ended June 30, 1996, net loans receivable increased $.6 million, or 2%, as follows: (Unaudited) Loans originated for portfolio $ 7.2 million Sales of portfolio loans (1.9) " Payments and payoffs (5.0) " Other changes .3 " ------ Net increase $ .6 million ====== For the six months ended June 30, 1996, $5.7 million of loans were originated for sale and $5.6 million of loans were sold to the secondary market. Loans receivable at the dates indicated consisted of the following: (Dollars in thousands-unaudited) June 30, Dec. 31, 1996 1995 1995 ------- ------- ------- Conventional: 1-4 residential $13,308 $14,040 $13,540 5 or more residential 4,120 3,794 3,987 Construction 3,781 1,859 3,373 Commercial and other non-resident. 2,334 2,747 2,517 FHA insured or VA guaranteed 6,258 7,652 6,970 Home improvement and home consumer 1,256 1,218 1,136 Loans to depositors, savings secured 101 242 175 Recreational vehicle and auto 874 35 31 Other non-mortgage 253 362 306 ------- ------- ------- Total loans 32,285 31,949 32,035 Less: Loans in process 1,227 831 1,600 Discounts 6 9 8 Reserve for possible loan losses 75 75 75 ------- ------- ------- Loans receivable, net $30,977 $31,034 $30,352 ======= ======= ======= Real Estate Owned -- The $183,000, or 37%, increase consisted of a new $231,000 foreclosed Great Falls residence, less the sale of a $29,000 Glendive residence, less additional depreciation for properties held for investment. The Glendive sale resulted in a $14,000 gain. At June 30, 1996, approximately $403,000, or 60%, of real estate owned was comprised of two 24-unit apartment complexes in Glendive, Montana, owned as depreciating investments by the Bank's wholly-owned subsidiary; plus $271,000 of real estate held for sale consisting of $40,000 for two Great Falls commercial lots and the $231,000 Great Falls residence. Other Assets -- This category remained at approximately $4.0 million. The unrealized tax benefit relating to the FASB 115 adjustment for available-for- sale securities increased $.2 million to $.4 million. At June 30, 1996, other assets included $.8 million of loans receivable contracted for sale to the secondary market. Deposits -- Deposits increased $.3 million, or less than 1%. The Bank's average cost of deposits for the first half of 1996 increased to 4.40%, compared to an average cost of 4.05% for the same six months in 1995. The Bank's cost of deposits was 4.46% at June 30, 1996, 4.44% at December 31, 1995, 4.30% at June 30, 1995, and 3.94% at December 31, 1994. The following table indicates the amounts and maturities of time certificates of deposit of $100,000 or more outstanding as of June 30, 1996: (Dollars in thousands, unaudited) Maturity Amount -------- ------ 3 months or less $ 610 >3 months through 6 months 204 >6 months through 1 year 1,031 >1 year 2,087 ------ $3,932 ====== Borrowings -- During the first quarter of 1996, the cash flows from matured and called investment securities, together with mortgage-backed securities repayments were utilized to repay the $10.5 million of FHLB advances outstanding at December 31, 1995. At June 30, 1996, a $.2 million overnight FHLB advance was outstanding. Stockholders' Equity -- The less than $.2 million decrease in stockholders' equity was comprised of $.7 million of net income, less $.5 million of cash dividends paid and a $.3 million increase in the unrealized loss adjustment for available-for-sale securities. In addition, capitalized holding company formation costs were approximately $37,000. Book value per share decreased to $20.03 at June 30, 1996, from $20.18 per share at December 31, 1995. Stockholders' equity ratio (stockholders' equity divided by assets) was 23.5% at June 30, 1996, compared to 21.6% at December 31, 1995. The ratio of average interest-earning assets to average interest-bearing liabilities was 1.28 for the first half of 1996 and 1.27 for the same six months in 1995. Asset Quality and Loss Reserves -- Nonperforming assets consisting of nonaccrual uninsured loans, accruing uninsured loans past due over 90 days, restructured loans, and all real estate owned-held for sale (REO/HFS) were approximately: $271,000 at June 30, 1996, $78,000 at December 31, 1995, representing .26% and .07% of total assets, respectively. (Dollars in thousands-unaudited, except December 31) June 30, December 31, 1996 1995 -------- ------------ Loss reserves $75 $75 Loss reserves as a % of nonperforming assets 27% 96% Loss reserves as a % of uninsured loans & REO/HFS .30% .32% Federal regulations require the Bank to classify its assets as substandard (distinct possibility that some loss will be sustained), doubtful (high likelihood of loss), and loss (uncollectible). At June 30, 1996, the Bank's substandard assets were approximately $40,000, with no asset classified as doubtful or loss. Given the continuing low level of nonperforming and classified assets, the decrease in loans receivable, and the sale of the majority of new loan production, no additional loss provision expense was deemed necessary (i.e. both probable and estimable) during the quarters and six-month periods ended June 30, 1996. (2) MATERIAL CHANGES IN RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. COMPARISON OF THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996, AND JUNE 30, 1995. (Dollars in thousands, unaudited) INCOME RECAP Three Months Ended June 30, 1996 1995 Change ------ ------ ------ Interest income $1,752 $1,841 $(89) Interest expense 868 850 18 ------ ------ ------ Net interest income 884 991 (107) Noninterest income 302 152 150 Noninterest expense 547 534 13 ------ ------ ------ Income before income taxes 639 609 30 Provision for income taxes 239 227 12 ------ ------ ------ Net income $ 400 $ 382 $ 18 ====== ====== ====== General -- Net income for the second quarter of 1996 was $400,000, an $18,000, or 5%, increase over the same period in 1995. This increase primarily resulted from a $132,000 noninterest income gain from the sale of a security classified as available-for-sale, offset by a $107,000, or 11%, decline in net interest income. Second quarter 1996 average interest-earning assets and average deposits declined. The average yield for interest-earning assets was lower, while the average cost of deposits was higher. Second quarter 1996 return on average assets was 1.52%, compared to 1.44% for the same 1995 quarter. Based on weighted average shares outstanding, second- quarter 1996 net income was $.33 per share, compared to $.31 per share for the same 1995 quarter. Interest Income and Expense -- Compared to the same 1995 quarter, average second quarter 1996 interest-earning assets decreased $2.0 million, or less than 2%. Due primarily to a decrease in investment securities yields, the average yield for all interest-earning assets was 6.89%, compared to 7.10% for the same 1995 quarter. As a result, second quarter 1996 interest income decreased $89,000, or 5%. Compared to the same 1995 quarter, second quarter 1996 average deposits decreased $2.2 million, or 3%. However, due to higher interest rates and time deposit repricing, deposit interest expense actually increased $17,000, or 2%. The average cost of deposits was 4.40% for the second quarter of 1996, compared to 4.19% for the same 1995 quarter. Second quarter 1996 average borrowings (FHLB advances) were less than $.1 million, average cost was 5.56%, and borrowing expense was approximately $1,000. There were no borrowings during the same 1995 quarter. The second quarter 1996 cost of all interest- bearing liabilities was 4.40%, compared to 4.19% for the same quarter in 1995. Net Interest Income -- This category decreased $107,000, or 11%, for the reasons cited above. Net interest spread (the difference between the average yield on interest-earning assets less the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities) was 2.49% for the second quarter of 1996, compared to 2.91% for the same 1995 quarter. Net interest margin (net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets) was 3.47% for the second quarter of 1996, compared to 3.82% for the same 1995 quarter. Noninterest Income -- During the second quarter of 1996, this category increased $150,000, or 99% to $302,000. The primary reason for this change was a $132,000 gain from the sale of an available-for-sale investment security. Loan origination fee and discount income decreased $3,000, or 3%. Noninterest Expense -- This category increased $13,000, or 2%, and was the net result of a $2,000, or 1%, decrease in salaries and employee benefits, a combined $9,000 decrease in data processing and FDIC/SAIF deposit insurance expense (lower deposit base), offset by a $25,000, or 23%, increase in other expenses, the primary component of which was advertising expense for an ongoing marketing campaign. Income Taxes -- Second quarter 1996 income before taxes was $639,000, a $30,000, or 5%, increase from the $609,000 earned for the same 1995 quarter. Taxes increased $12,000, or 5% to $239,000. (3) MATERIAL CHANGES IN RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. COMPARISON OF THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996, AND JUNE 30, 1995. INCOME RECAP (Unaudited) (Dollars In Thousands) Six Months Ended June 30, 1996 1995 Change ------ ------ ------ Interest income $3,581 $3,761 $(180) Interest expense 1,795 1,692 103 ------ ------ ------ Net interest income 1,786 2,069 (283) Noninterest income 451 274 177 Noninterest expense 1,096 1,052 44 ------ ------ ------ Income before income taxes 1,141 1,291 (150) Provision for income taxes 426 481 (55) ------ ------ ------ Net income $ 715 $ 810 $ (95) ====== ====== ====== General -- Net income for the first six months of 1996 was $715,000, a $95,000, or 12%, decrease when compared to the same six months in 1995. This decrease resulted primarily from a $283,000, or 14%, decline in net interest income, offset by a $132,000 noninterest income gain from the sale of a security classified as available-for-sale. First half 1996 average interest- earning assets declined, average deposits declined and average borrowings increased. The first half of 1996 average yield for interest-earning assets was lower, the average cost of deposits was higher and borrowing expense was higher. The first half of 1996 return on average assets was 1.33%, compared to 1.50% for the same 1995 period. Based on weighted average shares outstanding, year- to-date 1996 net income was $.59 per share, compared to $.66 per share for the same 1995 period. Interest Income and Expense -- Compared to the first half of 1995, average year-to-date 1996 interest-earning assets decreased $2.7 million, or less than 3%. Due primarily to a decrease in investment securities yields, the average yield for all interest-earning assets decreased to 6.94%, compared to 7.10% for the same 1995 period. As a result, year-to-date 1996 interest income decreased $180,000, or 5%, when compared to the same 1995 period. Compared to the first half of 1995, year-to-date 1996 average deposits decreased $4.6 million, or 6%. However, due to higher interest rates and time deposit repricing, deposit interest expense actually increased $45,000, or 3%. The average cost of deposits was 4.40% for the first half of 1996, compared to 4.05% for the same 1995 period. First half 1996 average borrowings (FHLB advances) were $2.0 million, average cost was 5.80%, and borrowing expense was $59,000. For the same 1995 period, average borrowings (FHLB advances) were less than $.1 million, average cost was 6.30%, and borrowing expense was approximately $1,000. The first half 1996 cost of all interest-bearing liabilities was 4.44%, compared to 4.05% for the same period in 1995. Net Interest Income -- This category decreased $283,000, or 14%, for the reasons cited above. Net interest spread (the difference between the average yield on interest-earning assets less the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities) was 2.50% for the first half of 1996, compared to 3.05% for the same 1995 period. Net interest margin (net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets) was 3.46% for the first half of 1996, compared to 3.91% for the same 1995 period. Noninterest Income -- For the first half of 1996, this category increased $177,000, or 65% to $451,000. The primary reason for this change was a $132,000 gain from the sale of a $3.1 million available-for-sale investment security. Loan origination fee and discount income increased $35,000, or 23%. This improvement was the direct result of increased loan production. First half 1996 loans originated for sale to the secondary market were $5.7 million compared to $3.0 million for the same period in 1995, and year-to-date 1996 loans originated for portfolio were $7.2 million, compared to $4.7 million for the same 1995 period. Noninterest Expense -- This category increased $44,000, or 4%, and was the net result of a $3,000, or 1%, decrease in salaries and employee benefits, a combined $20,000 decrease in data processing and FDIC/SAIF deposit insurance expense (lower deposit base), offset by a $67,000, or 33%, increase in other expenses, the primary component of which was advertising expense for an ongoing marketing campaign. Income Taxes -- First half 1996 income before taxes was $1,141,000, a $150,000, or 12%, decrease from the $1,291,000 earned for the same 1995 period. Taxes decreased $55,000, or 11% to $426,000.
