STATEFED FINANCIAL CORP. ANNOUNCES
SECOND QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS
DES MOINES, IOWA (NASDAQ: "SFFC") -- StateFed Financial Corporation, the parent
company of State Federal Savings and Loan Association of Des Moines, today
announced the financial results for its second fiscal quarter ended December 31,
2001.
Net income rose $253,200 to $429,600 or $0.33 in diluted earnings per
share, from $176,400 for the same period in 2000, or $0.12 per diluted earnings
per share. For the six-month period ended December 31, 2001, net income totaled
$573,000, up 15 percent from the $500,500 reported for the six-month period
ended December 31, 2000. Diluted earnings per share increased 36 percent to
$0.45 from $0.33 for the six-month period ended December 31, 2001. For the
six-month period, basic earnings per share increased to $0.46 from $0.34 a year
earlier.
A significant factor in State Fed's second-quarter earnings was the
gain of $638,200 on the sale of real estate holdings. The sale of two real
estate complexes allows the company to reallocate important resources to its
core business of personalized retail banking and financial services.
"We are continuing to refocus and revitalize our operations with
decisive actions that position us for future growth and enhance value to our
shareholders," said Randall C. Bray, Chairman of the Board. "The sale of the
apartment complexes marks an important step in repositioning State Federal to
better reach
and serve its customers. Funds and resources that have been tied up in these
fixed assets can now be invested in the development and expansion of our
products and services."
Management increased the bank's provision for loan losses to $154,000,
compared with $9,000 a year ago. The company establishes loan loss reserves in
order to maintain the allowance for losses at an appropriate level based upon an
assessment of volume, type and performance of loans in the portfolio.
Net interest income for the quarter declined $55,200, reflecting
reduced interest income from the continued decline in interest rates in late
2001. Lower interest rates also triggered a high level of refinance activity
that resulted in a reduction in total loans. The decrease in interest income was
offset in part by a reduction in interest expense. State Fed has been
intentionally repositioning its balance sheet to lower funding costs by reducing
its reliance on advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank, resulting in a
reduction in interest expense of $203,800, compared with a year ago. Total
non-interest expense was $130,800 higher in this quarter compared with the same
period in 2000 primarily as a result of costs associated with the Company's new
location in Clive.
"As part of our strategic plan, we're working to serve our customers
with more appealing and convenient locations," said Bray. "This month we will be
opening a new location in the downtown skywalk that offers a unique and
innovative concept in the delivery of financial services in the Des Moines area.
In addition to banking, customers and potential customers will be able to take
advantage of a full-service coffee bar and Internet access on the go. We are
partnering with Timbuktu Coffee Cafe and Crosspaths Internet Service to bring
added value to customers and potential customers, and we continue to look for
other opportunities to deliver complementary retail services to our customers."
As of December 31, 2001, State Federal reported 1,279,526 shares
outstanding. The Corporation's stock is traded on the NASDAQ Small-Cap Market
under the symbol "SFFC".
