Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed by First National Bancorp of River Falls, Inc. with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial statements contained herein contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows of First National Bancorp of River Falls, Inc. at September 30,1997 and for all periods presented. The operating results for the periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results to be expected for the full fiscal year. 6 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION EARNINGS SUMMARY First National Bancorp of River Falls, Inc. (the "Company") recorded net income of $448,000 for the third quarter of 1997, a 11.5% decrease from the $506,000 earned in the third quarter of 1996. On a year-to-date basis, earnings were $1,259,000, down 7.7% or $105,000 from the $1,364,000 earned in the first nine months of 1996. Contributing positively to earnings in the first nine months of 1997 was a 3.2% or $141,000 increase in net interest income coupled with an increase in non-interest income of 12.7% or $92,000. Offsetting these positive increases were a 10.5% or $334,000 increase in non-interest expenses and a $55,000 increase in the provision for loan losses. Return on average assets (ROA) was 1.10% for the first nine months of 1997, compared to 1.26% for the same period in 1996. Return on average equity (ROE) was 9.95% for the first nine months of 1997, compared to 11.50% for the same period of 1996. SHAREHOLDER'S EQUITY AND DIVIDENDS Shareholder's equity totaled $17,379,000 at September 30,1997, representing a book value per share of $1,738, a 6.9% increase from $1,626 at December 31, 1996. Dividends paid per share of $45 in the second quarter of 1997 remained unchanged from the fourth quarter of 1996. The Company maintains a very strong capital position compared to industry standards. Table II presents various regulatory capital ratios. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" (FAS No.115), requires the market value of securities available for sale to be recorded on the Company's balance sheet, with unrealized gains or losses, net of tax, included in equity. This accounting standard had the effect of increasing the book value per share by $90 as of September 30, 1997 and increasing the book value per share by $72 as of December 31, 1996. NET INTEREST INCOME Tax-equivalent net interest income for the third quarter of 1997 was $1,533,000, an increase of $81,000 or 5.6% from the third quarter of 1996. On a year-to-date basis, tax-equivalent net interest income was $4,546,000, an increase of $141,000 or 3.2% over the $4,405,000 realized in the first nine months of 1996. The Company uses gap reports and a basic simulation model to assess its current interest rate sensitivity position. While the Company's traditional gap report indicated a liability sensitive position at September 30, 1997, simulation modeling results indicated the amount of net interest income at risk as a result of any substantial change in market interest rates was within the Company's acceptable policy limits. 7 NON-PERFORMING ASSETS Table VI shows the details of non-performing assets at September 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996. Non-performing assets, which include non-performing loans and other real estate owned (OREO), were $1,165,000 at September 30, 1997. This total represents a decrease of $670,000 from December 31, 1996. Non-performing assets as a percentage of total loans and OREO declined to 1.16% as of September 30, 1997 from 1.94% as of December 31, 1996. Non-performing loans, which include non-accrual and restructured loans, were $1,165,000 at September 30, 1997, a decrease of $670,000 from December 31, 1996. The ratio of non-performing loans to total loans improved to 1.16% at September 30, 1997 from 1.94% as of December 31, 1996. The ratio of non-performing assets and past due loans to total loans and OREO increased from 2.54% at December 31, 1996 to 3.93% at September 30, 1997. The level of at-risk performing loans (with an internal loan review rating of either substandard, doubtful or loss) increased $3,140,000 or 73% from $4,295,000 at December 31, 1996 to $7,435,000 at September 30, 1997. The ratio of classified loans to total loans has increased from 4.53% at December 31, 1996 to 7.36% at September 30, 1997. Total loans grew 6.5% during the same period. Net charge-offs were $421,000 for the first nine months of 1997 as compared to net charge-offs of $102,000 in the same period in 1996. There was no other real estate owned at September 30, 1997 or at December 31, 1996. RESERVES FOR LOAN LOSSES The Company's reserve for loan losses was 113.91% of nonperforming loans at September 30, 1997 compared to 78.64% at December 31, 1996. The reserve for loan losses decreased from $1,443,000 at December 31, 1996 to $1,327,000 at September 30, 1997. NON INTEREST INCOME As presented in Table VIII, non-interest income was $293,000 for the third quarter of 1997 compared to $237,000 for the third quarter of 1996, representing a $56,000 or 23.6% improvement. On a year-to-date basis, non-interest income was $815,000 compared to $723,000 in 1996, an increase of $92,000 or 12.7%. On a year-to-date basis, operating non-interest income, which excludes investment securities gains and losses, increased 14.2% over 1996. The gains were due primarily to increases of $15,000 in loan servicing and $46,000 in SBA loan sales. NON INTEREST EXPENSE As presented in Table IX, non-interest expense increased $65,000 or 6.6% in the third quarter compared to the third quarter of 1996. On a year-to-date basis, non-interest expense increased $334,000 or 10.5% compared to the first nine months of 1996. For the nine month period, 8 $195,000 of the increase was due to loss on sale of the Prescott branch building. This building was replaced by a new building costing $1,050,000 in August,1997. A common industry statistic used to measure the productivity of banking organizations is the efficiency ratio. The efficiency ratio measures the cost required to generate each dollar of revenue and is calculated by dividing recurring non-interest expense by tax-equivalent net interest income and recurring non-interest income. The Company's efficiency ratio was 62.08% for the nine months ending September 30, 1997 compared to 62.19% for the same period in 1996. TAXES Comparing the first nine months of 1997 to the first nine months of 1996, the Company's effective tax rate decreased from 19.2% to 17.9%. This results from proportionately more tax-exempt income during the first nine months of 1997 compared to the same period in 1996. BALANCE SHEET GROWTH ASSETS Average total assets increased $8,436,000 or 5.8% from the first nine months of 1996 to the first nine months of 1997. LOANS From the first nine months of 1996 to the first nine months of 1997, average loans increased $5,809,000 or 6.1%, driven by increases in real estate loans. SECURITIES Average securities increased $810,000 or 3.4% from the first nine months of 1996 to the first nine months of 1997. The average duration of the $43,627,000 securities portfolio was 5.25 as of September 30, 1997 and the average tax equivalent yield was 7.89%. Gains or losses on the $50,000 of securities held to maturity are not material. In accordance with FAS No.115, the available for sale securities are recorded inclusive of any unrealized gain or loss. LIABILITIES Total deposits increased $3,078,000 or 2.5% in the first nine months of 1997, due primarily to a new money market account that is tied to the 90 day T-bill rate. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase decreased $13,000 or 0.3%. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities decreased $306,000 or 18.5%, due primarily to the $450,000 dividend payable at December 31, 1996 compared to none at September 30, 1996. Other short-term borrowings increased $92,000 or 27.5%. 9 FIRST NATIONAL BANCORP OF RIVER FALLS, INC.
