NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1--PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and balances
of First Federal Capital Corp (the "Corporation"), First Federal Savings Bank La
Crosse-Madison (the "Bank"), and the Bank's wholly-owned subsidiaries. All
significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.
NOTE 2--BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements are
unaudited and do not include information or footnotes necessary for a complete
presentation of financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). However, in
the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial
statements have been included. Operating results for the three and six month
periods ended June 30, 2002, may not necessarily be indicative of the results
that may be expected for the entire year ending December 31, 2002.
Certain 2001 balances have been reclassified to conform to the 2002
presentation.
NOTE 3--EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic and diluted earnings per share data are based on the
weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted
earnings per share is further adjusted for potential common shares that were
dilutive and outstanding during the period. Potential common shares generally
consist of stock options outstanding under the Corporation's stock incentive
plans. The dilutive effect of potential common shares is computed using the
treasury stock method. All stock options are assumed to be 100% vested for
purposes of the earnings per share computations. The computation of earnings per
share for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2002, and June 30,
2001, is as follows:

NOTE 4--CONTINGENCIES
The Corporation and its subsidiaries are engaged in various routine
legal proceedings occurring in the ordinary course of business, which considered
together are believed by management to be immaterial to the consolidated
financial condition of the Corporation.
NOTE 5--SEGMENT INFORMATION
REPORTABLE SEGMENTS The Corporation tracks profitability in four major
areas: (i) residential lending, (ii) commercial real estate lending, (iii)
consumer lending, and (iv) investment and mortgage-related securities.
Residential lending is divided into two profit centers for segment reporting
purposes: (i) a mortgage banking profit center that is responsible for loan
origination, sales of loans in the secondary market, and servicing of
residential loans, and (ii) a residential loan portfolio that consists of loans
held by the Corporation for investment purposes (loans held for sale are
included in the mortgage banking profit center). This profit center also
includes mortgage-backed securities that are collateralized by loans that were
originated by the Corporation. Commercial real estate lending consists of the
Corporation's portfolio of multi-family and non-residential mortgage loans, as
well as functions related to the origination and servicing of such loans.
Consumer lending is divided into two profit centers for segment reporting
purposes: (i) a consumer lending portfolio, which consists of the Corporation's
second mortgage, automobile, and other consumer installment loans, as well as
functions related to the origination and servicing of such loans, and (ii) an
education loan portfolio, which also includes functions related to the
origination and servicing of the loans. Finally, the Corporation's investment
and mortgage-related securities portfolio is considered a profit center for
segment reporting purposes. As previously noted, however, mortgage-backed
securities collateralized by loans originated by the Corporation are included in
the residential loan profit center, rather than the investment and
mortgage-related securities portfolio.
The Corporation's extensive branch network, which delivers checking,
savings, certificates of deposit and other financial products and services to
customers, is considered a support department for segment reporting purposes, as
more fully described in a subsequent paragraph.
In October 2001, the Corporation completed the acquisition of American
Community Bankshares, Inc. ("ACB"). In addition, in April 2002 the Corporation
completed the acquisition of three bank offices in Rochester, Minnesota, from
another financial institution. These purchases included the customer loans and
deposits at those branches. In addition to offering products and services
similar to the Corporation's existing product lines, these institutions also
deliver commercial loan and deposit products and services to business customers.
This represents a new line of business for the Corporation and a new reportable
segment. The financial results of this new line of business have not been
separately reported in 2002 due to continuing efforts to design these products
on the Corporation's systems, as well as efforts to complete the integration of
the operations of ACB and the three Rochester branches.
MEASUREMENT OF SEGMENT PROFIT (LOSS) Management evaluates the after-tax
performance of the Corporation's profit centers as if each center were a
separate entity--each with its own earning assets, actual and/or allocated
non-earning assets, and allocated funding resources. Each profit center has its
own interest income, non-interest income, and non-interest expense as captured
by the Corporation's accounting systems. Interest expense is allocated to each
profit center according to its use of the Corporation's funding sources, which
consist primarily of deposit liabilities, wholesale borrowings, and equity. In
general, all funding sources are allocated proportionately to each profit
center. However, in certain instances specific liabilities may be matched
against specific assets of profit centers.
The net cost of operating the Corporation's support departments is
allocated to the Corporation's profit centers and to the banking network using a
variety of methods deemed appropriate by management. In general, these net costs
are included in the non-interest expense of each profit center, to include the
branch network. In addition, certain allocations of revenues and expenses are
made between profit centers when they perform services for each other. Such
amounts, however, are not generally material in nature.
10
The Corporation's branch network is considered a support department
center for segment reporting purposes. Retail banking fees and revenues are
deducted from the non-interest expense of operating the network (to include an
allocation of net costs from the Corporation's other support departments) to
arrive at net costs for the branch network. This net cost is then allocated to
each profit center based on its use of deposit liabilities to fund its
operations. This amount is reported as "net cost to acquire and maintain deposit
liabilities" and is included as an adjustment to the net interest income of each
profit center.
For segment reporting purposes, management makes certain non-GAAP
adjustments and reclassifications to the results of operations and financial
condition of the Corporation that, in management's judgement, more fairly
reflect the performance and/or financial condition of certain of the
Corporation's profit centers.
SEGMENT PROFIT (LOSS) STATEMENTS AND OTHER INFORMATION The following
table summarizes the profit (loss) and average assets of each of the
Corporation's reportable segments for the three and six month periods ended June
30, 2002 and 2001. In addition to the after-tax performance of profit centers,
management of the Corporation closely monitors the net cost to acquire and
maintain deposit liabilities, which consists principally of the net costs to
operate the Corporation's branch network, as previously described. The net cost
to acquire and maintain deposit liabilities was 1.34% and 1.22% of average
deposit liabilities outstanding during the three months ended June 30, 2002 and
2001, respectively. The net cost for the six month periods ending as of the same
dates was 1.28% and 1.28%, respectively.

NOTE 6--INTANGIBLE ASSETS
In June 2001 the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets" ("SFAS 142"). Under the new rules, goodwill and intangible
assets deemed to have indefinite lives are no longer amortized but are subject
to annual impairment tests in accordance with the new statements. Other
identifiable intangible assets continue to be amortized over their useful lives,
which include core deposit intangibles. The Corporation adopted SFAS 142 in
January 2002. If SFAS 142 had been in effect during the three and six months
ended June 30, 2001, the Corporation's net income in such periods would have
been higher by approximately $165,000 and $331,000, respectively, or $0.01 and
$0.02 per diluted share, respectively.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
QUARTER OVERVIEW The Corporation's net income for the three months
ended June 30, 2002, was $8.2 million or $0.40 per diluted share compared to
$6.4 million or $0.34 in the same period last year. These amounts represented a
return on average assets of 1.20% and 1.07%, respectively, and a return on
average equity of 16.63% and 16.26%, respectively.
The increase in net income from 2001 to 2002 was primarily attributable
to a $5.9 million increase in net interest income, a $1.3 million increase in
loan servicing fees, and a $1.1 million increase in retail banking fees. These
developments were partially offset by a $4.5 million increase in non-interest
expense and a $925,000 decrease in gain on sales of loans. Also contributing was
a $791,000 increase in income tax expense, due to higher pre-tax earnings.
SIX MONTH OVERVIEW The Corporation's net income for the six months
ended June 30, 2002, was $15.9 million or $0.78 per diluted share compared to
$12.3 million and $0.66 in the same period last year. These amounts represented
a return on average assets of 1.19% and 1.03%, respectively, and a return on
average equity of 16.20% and 15.95%, respectively.
The increase in net income from 2001 to 2002 was primarily attributable
to a $10.0 million increase in net interest income, a $1.7 million increase in
retail banking fees, a $791,000 increase in loan servicing fees, and a $687,000
increase in gain on sales of loans. These developments were offset in part by a
$7.9 million increase in total non-interest expense and a $587,000 increase in
provision for loan losses. Also contributing was a $1.6 million increase in
income tax expense, due to higher pre-tax earnings.
The following paragraphs discuss the aforementioned changes in more
detail along with other changes in the components of net income during the three
and six month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001.
NET INTEREST INCOME Net interest income increased by $5.9 million or
nearly 40% and by $10.0 million or nearly 35% during the three and six month
periods ended June 30, 2002, respectively, as compared to the same periods in
the previous year. Net interest income was favorably impacted in both periods by
an increase in the Corporation's interest rate spread, which improved from 2.18%
during the three month period ended June 30, 2001, to 3.00% during the same
period in 2002, and from 2.12% during the six month period ended June 30, 2001,
to 2.83% during the same period in 2002. Market interest rates declined
dramatically in 2001 and into 2002, and have
13
remained at historically low levels. During the three and six month periods
ended June 30, 2002, 19% and 55%, of the Corporation's time deposits matured,
respectively, which resulted in a larger decline in the cost of the
Corporation's funding sources than the decline in the yield on its earning
assets. However, management does not expect this trend to continue in the third
quarter, as deposits that are maturing in that period are expected to reprice at
substantially the same rate. Improvement in the Corporation's interest rate
spread in the third quarter, if any, will most likely come from a shift in the
Corporation's asset mix from lower-yielding assets, such as overnight and
short-term investments, into longer-term, higher-yielding assets, such as
purchased adjustable-rate mortgage loans and collateralized mortgage obligations
("CMOs"). However, there can be no assurances.
Also contributing to the improvement in the Corporation's net interest
income during both periods was an increase in average interest-earning assets
outstanding. Such assets increased by $298.9 million or 13.4% during the three
months ended June 30, 2002, and by $236.5 million or 10.5% during the six months
ended June 30, 2002, as compared to the same periods in 2001. The principal
source of this growth occurred in the Corporation's overnight investments,
mortgage-related securities, commercial real estate loan, consumer loan, and
commercial business loan portfolios. Asset growth in both periods was funded by
a combination of increases in deposit liabilities, Federal Home Loan Bank
("FHLB") advances, and stockholders' equity.
Net interest income in both periods also benefited from an increase in
average non-interest-bearing deposit liabilities, which was the principal reason
the Corporation's ratio of average interest-earning assets to interest-bearing
liabilities improved during both the three and six month periods ended June 30,
2002. Contributing to a lesser degree was a $40.3 million or over 25% increase
in average stockholders' equity during the three month period ended June 30,
2002, and a $42.0 million or over 25% increase in average stockholders' equity
during the six month period ended June 30, 2002. The increase in
non-interest-bearing deposits was due in part to an increase in
non-interest-bearing deposits acquired in the ACB and Rochester acquisitions
(refer to "Other Matters" for additional discussion). The increase in average
stockholders' equity was principally caused by the issuance of stock in
connection with the Corporation's acquisition of ACB in the fourth quarter of
2001.
The following tables set forth information regarding the average
balances of the Corporation's assets, liabilities, and equity, as well as the
interest earned or paid and the average yield or cost of each. The information
is based on daily average balances during the three and six month periods ended
June 30, 2002 and 2001.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES Provision for loan losses was $771,000 and
$437,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. It
was $1.4 million and $831,000 during the six month periods ended as of the same
dates, respectively. In the most recent quarter, the Corporation recorded
approximately $384,000 in provision for loan losses over-and-above its actual
net charge-off activity, and $603,000 for the six month period. These additional
provisions were recorded to maintain the Corporation's allowance for loan losses
at a level deemed appropriate by management. These additions were considered
prudent in light of anticipated growth in the Corporation's loans held for
investment, an increased mix of higher-risk commercial real estate, commercial
business, and consumer loans, and current levels of non-performing and
classified assets. On an annualized basis, net charge-offs were 0.08% and 0.09%
of average loans outstanding during the three and six month periods in 2002,
respectively. These amounts compared to 0.06% and 0.05% during the same periods
in 2001.
As of June 30, 2002, and December 31, 2001, the Corporation's allowance
for loan losses was $10.6 million and $10.0 million, respectively, or 0.55% and
0.54% of loans held for investment, respectively. The allowance for loan and
real estate losses was 125% and 120% of non-performing assets as of the same
dates. Although management believes that the Corporation's present level of
allowance for loan losses is adequate, there can be no assurance that future
adjustments to the allowance will not be necessary, which could adversely affect
the Corporation's results of operations. For additional discussion, refer to
"Financial Condition--Non-Performing Assets".
16
NON-INTEREST INCOME Non-interest income for the three months ended June
30, 2002 and 2001, was $13.0 million and $11.5 million, respectively. These
amounts represented 38% and 42% of the Corporation's total revenue during such
periods. The following paragraphs discuss the principal components of
non-interest income and the primary reasons for their changes from 2001 to 2002.
Retail banking fees and service charges increased by $1.1 million or
17.1% during the three months ended June 30, 2002, as compared to the same
period in the previous year. Most of this improvement can be attributed to
growth in overdraft and other service fees caused by an increase in the number
of checking accounts serviced by the Corporation. Also contributing was a
$260,000 or nearly 30% increase in fees from customers' use of debit cards, as
well as a $248,000 or 23.1% increase in fees from customers' use of ATMs.
Premiums and commissions on annuity and insurance sales increased by
$58,000 or 6.5% during the three months ended June 30, 2002, as compared to the
same period in the previous year. The Corporation's principal sources of premium
and commission revenues are from sales of tax-deferred annuity contracts, credit
life and disability insurance policies, mortgage loan insurance policies, and
brokerage services. The increase was principally the result of an increase in
commissions from brokerage services.
Loan servicing fees increased by $1.3 million from $(1.9) million
during the three months ended June 30, 2001, to $(674,000) during the same
period in 2002. This development was caused principally by a declining interest
rate environment in 2001, which led to higher loan prepayment activity that
resulted in the recognition of higher levels of amortization, as well as
unfavorable mark-to-market adjustments in the Corporation's mortgage servicing
rights ("MSRs"). As of June 30, 2002, the Corporation's valuation allowance for
mark-to-market adjustments against its MSRs was ($750,000).
Excluding amortization of MSRs, as well as changes in the allowance for
losses on MSRs, gross loan servicing fees increased by $375,000 or 18.2% during
the three months ended June 30, 2002, as compared to the same period in the
previous year. This increase can be attributed to a $538.4 million or almost 25%
increase in the average outstanding balance of loans serviced for others during
the three month period ended June 30, 2002, as compared to the same period in
the previous year. Contributing to the growth in loans serviced for others was
an interest rate environment in 2001 and 2002 that caused borrowers to favor
fixed-rate loans, which the Corporation generally sells in the secondary market.
The Corporation retains the servicing of these loans.
In recent weeks, market interest rates have declined. If this trend
continues, the Corporation will most likely be required to record higher levels
of amortization on its MSRs as a result of higher levels of loan prepayment
activity. Such amortization, however, will most likely be offset by higher
levels of gains on sales of mortgage loans, although there can be no assurances.
It should be noted, however, that declines in market interest rates may also
expose the Corporation to unfavorable mark-to-market adjustments against its
portfolio of MSRs--primarily because of increases in market expectations for
future prepayments. Although management believes that most of the Corporation's
loans that prepay are replaced by a new loan to the same customer or even a
different customer (thus preserving the future servicing cash flow), GAAP
requires mark-to-market losses resulting from increases in market expectations
for future prepayments to be recorded in the current period. However, the
offsetting gain on the sale of the new loan, if any, cannot be recorded until
the customer actually prepays the old loan and the new loan is sold in the
secondary market.
Gains on sales of loans decreased by $925,000 or 17.6% from $5.3
million during the three months ended June 30, 2001, to $4.3 million during the
same period in 2002. This decrease was primarily the result of two offsetting
developments: (1) a $102.1 million or almost 35% decrease in the Corporation's
mortgage loan sales, and (2) a higher average gain on sales during the three
months ended June 30, 2002, as compared to the same period in the previous year.
The decline in mortgage loan sales was due to a rapidly declining interest rate
environment in 2001 that resulted in a significant level of fixed-rate mortgage
loan production in that period. The increase in the average gain was caused by a
wider spread between mortgage rates offered to borrowers by the Corporation and
the yields demanded in the secondary market. Also contributing to the increase
in the size of the average gain was a higher valuation for the MSR portion of
the gains, due to lower prepayment expectations.
17
In recent weeks, market interest rates have declined. This situation
will more than likely result in increased originations of fixed-rate mortgage
loans in the third quarter, as well as increased conversions of adjustable-rate
loans into fixed-rate loans, both of which are generally sold in the secondary
market. Such activity is expected to result in higher levels of gains on sales
of mortgage loans in the third quarter, although there can be no assurances.
Non-interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 was
$25.9 million and $22.2 million, respectively. These amounts represented 39% and
42% of total revenues during such periods. Most of the increase in 2002 was the
result of a $1.7 million increase in retail banking fees and service charges to
$13.8 million in 2002 from $12.1 million in 2001. Also contributing was a
$791,000 or over 55% increase in loan servicing fees and a $687,000 or 8.3%
increase in gain on sales of loans. The explanations for these changes are
substantially the same as those given in previous paragraphs
NON-INTEREST EXPENSE Non-interest expense for the three months ended
June 30, 2002 and 2001, was $21.3 million and $16.8 million, respectively, which
was 3.11% and 2.83% of average assets during such periods, respectively. The
following paragraphs discuss the principal components of non-interest expense
and the primary reasons for their changes from 2001 to 2002.
Compensation and employee benefits increased by $3.3 million or over
30% during the three months ended June 30, 2002, as compared to the same period
in the previous year. In general, this increase was due to normal annual merit
increases and to growth in the number of banking facilities operated by the
Corporation. Since June 30, 2001, the Corporation has opened twelve banking
facilities and closed two. In October 2001, the Corporation obtained two banking
facilities as a result of its acquisition of ACB. In April 2002, the Corporation
completed the purchase of three banking facilities from another financial
institution in Rochester, Minnesota. In addition, the Corporation will complete
the acquisition of four supermarket banking facilities from another financial
institution in various cities in Minnesota in September 2002 (refer to "Other
Matters" for further discussion). Finally, the Corporation intends to open three
to five more supermarket banking facilities during the rest of the year,
although there can be no assurances. As of June 30, 2002, the Corporation had
1,171 full-time equivalent employees. This compares to 1,033 and 952 as of
December 31, 2001, and June 30, 2001, respectively.
Occupancy and equipment expense increased by $177,000 or 7.1% and
communications, postage, and office supplies expense increased by $268,000 or
19.9% during the three months ended June 30, 2002, compared to the same period
in the previous year. These increases were primarily attributable to growth in
the number of banking facilities operated by the Corporation, as well as
increases in the number of full-time equivalent employees and in the number of
customers served by the Corporation.
ATM and debit card transaction costs increased by $196,000 or 23.3%
during the three months ended June 30, 2002, as compared to the same period in
the previous year. This increase can be attributed to increased use by the
Corporation's customers of ATM and debit card networks, as well as an increase
in the number of ATMs operated by the Corporation.
Advertising and marketing costs increased by $283,000 or more than 40%
during the three months ended June 30, 2002, as compared to the same period in
the previous year. This increase can be attributed to growth in the number of
banking facilities operated by the Corporation, as previously described, as well
as an increase in the number of market areas served by the Corporation.
Amortization of intangible assets, which consists primarily of core
deposit intangibles and purchase accounting goodwill, decreased by $78,000 or
over 30% during the three months ended June 30, 2002, as compared to the same
period in the previous year. The decrease was caused by the Corporation's
adoption of SFAS 142 in January 2002 (refer to Note 6 of the Corporation's
Consolidated Financial Statements, included herein under Part I, Item 1,
"Financial Statements"). This development was partially offset by increased
amortization of the core deposit intangibles recorded in connection with the
Corporation's ACB and Rochester acquisitions in the fourth quarter of 2001 and
the second quarter of 2002, respectively.
18
Other non-interest expense increased by $374,000 or nearly 25% during
the three months ended June 30, 2002, as compared to the same period in the
previous year. This increase was caused by a variety of factors, the most
significant of which were increased merger-related costs associated with the ACB
and Rochester transactions. Contributing to a lesser degree were increased costs
related to the operation and disposition of foreclosed real estate.
Non-interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001,
was $40.4 million and $32.5 million, respectively, which was 3.03% and 2.74% of
average assets during such periods, respectively. This increase was primarily
the result of a $5.8 million or approximately 30% increase in compensation and
employee benefits. Also contributing was a $845,000 or more than 30% increase in
other non-interest expense, a $437,000 or 17.0% increase in communications,
postage, and office supplies, a $371,000 or over 30% increase in advertising and
marketing, and a $350,000 or 7.4% increase in occupancy and equipment expense.
Contributing to a lesser degree was a $296,000 or 18.8% increase in ATM and
debit card transaction costs. The explanations for these changes are
substantially the same as those given in previous paragraphs for the three month
periods.
INCOME TAX EXPENSE Income tax expense for the three months ended June
30, 2002 and 2001, was $4.3 million and $3.5 million, respectively, or 34.3% and
35.4% of pretax income, respectively. Income tax expense for the six months
ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, was $8.4 million and $6.7 million, respectively,
or 34.6% and 35.4% of pretax income, respectively. The decline in the
Corporation's effective income tax rate was due in part to the purchase of bank
owned life insurance policies.
SEGMENT INFORMATION The following paragraphs contain a discussion of
the financial performance of each of the Corporation's reportable segments
(hereafter referred to as "profit centers") for the three and six month periods
ended June 30, 2002 and 2001. Refer to the table in Note 5 of the Corporation's
Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements, included herein under Part I, Item
I, "Financial Statements", for a summary of the after-tax profit (loss) of each
of the Corporation's profit centers.
MORTGAGE BANKING Profits from the Corporation's mortgage
banking activities were $1.1 million in the second quarter of 2002 compared to
only $81,000 in the same period last year. Year-to-date, profits were up
$956,000 or 73% compared to 2001. Loan origination volumes and loan servicing
fees are the principal drivers of performance in this profit center. In the
first six months of 2002, the Corporation's mortgage banking operation
originated $563.3 million in single-family residential loans compared to $583.4
million in the same period of the previous year. In 2001, a higher proportion of
the Corporation's loan originations were the result of an increase in refinance
activity. In such environments, a substantial portion of the internal revenue
allocated to the mortgage banking profit center for loan originations is offset
by an increase in internal charges for lost servicing value. This methodology
for measuring results in the mortgage banking profit center recognizes that
during periods of high refinance activity the Corporation incurs significant
costs related to the preservation of existing mortgage customer relationships,
rather than the creation of new customer relationships. As a result, periods of
high refinance activity generally result in lower earnings in the mortgage
banking profit center, despite a higher level of loan origination volumes. Refer
to "Non-GAAP Adjustments", below, for additional discussion. Also contributing
to the increase in mortgage banking profits in the 2002 was an increase in the
average gain on sales of mortgage loans, as described elsewhere in this report.
RESIDENTIAL LOANS Profits from the Corporation's residential
loan portfolio increased by $307,000 or 18.6% and $414,000 or 11.8% during the
three and six month periods ended June 30, 2002, respectively, compared to the
same periods in the previous year. The improvement in this profit center's
earnings occurred despite a $165.0 million or 17.2% decline in the average
assets assigned to the profit center in 2002. In 2001, the performance of this
profit center was impacted by a significant increase in charge-offs of
internally-capitalized origination costs assigned to the loans in the portfolio.
This development was the result of increased prepayment activity in 2001 due to
a rapidly declining interest rate environment. Due to a decline in prepayment
activity in the portfolio in 2002 relative to 2001, charge-offs of
internally-capitalized origination costs were $520,000 or 36% lower in 2002 than
they were in 2001.
Also contributing to the improvement in the performance of
this profit center was an increase in its interest rate spread. This profit
center is funded by a mix of deposit liabilities and wholesale borrowings. The
19
Corporation's average cost of interest-bearing liabilities declined by 187 basis
points between the six month period in 2001 and the same period in 2002. In
contrast, the yield on the profit center's single-family residential loans
declined by only 81 basis points between the periods.
COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE LENDING Profits from commercial real
estate lending increased by $1.4 million or over 120% and by $2.6 million or
almost 125% during the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, respectively,
as compared to the same periods in 2001. These improvements were principally the
result of a significant increase in the profit center's interest rate spread in
2002 compared to 2001. This profit center is primarily funded by deposit
liabilities and, to a lesser extent, by wholesale borrowings. The Corporation's
average cost of interest-bearing liabilities declined by 187 basis points
between 2002 and 2001. The yield on commercial real estate loans, however,
declined by only 33 basis points between these years.
Also contributing to the increase in profits from commercial
real estate lending was a $62.3 million or 12.3% increase in the average assets
assigned to the profit center in 2002 compared to the previous year. During the
six months ended June 30, 2002, this profit center originated $53.4 million in
commercial real estate loans compared to $65.6 million in the same period last
year. Also contributing to growth in this profit center were the commercial real
estate loans obtained in the ACB and Rochester banking office acquisitions.
CONSUMER LENDING Profits from the Corporation's consumer
lending activities increased by $686,000 or almost 70% and $1.1 million or 64%
during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2002, respectively, as
compared to the same periods in the previous year. This increase was primarily
attributable to a substantial increase in the profit center's interest rate
spread in the most recent year, compared to the same timeframe in 2001. Similar
to commercial real estate loans, this profit center is principally funded by
deposit liabilities and, to a lesser extent, by wholesale borrowings. The
Corporation's average cost of interest-bearing liabilities declined by 187 basis
points between the first six months of 2002 and the same period in the previous
year. The yield on consumer loans, however, declined by only 74 basis points
between these same periods.
Also contributing to the increase in profits from consumer
lending was a $50.7 million or 13.6% increase in the average assets assigned to
the profit center since last year. During the six months ended June 30, 2002,
this profit center originated $199.1 million in consumer loans compared to
$132.7 million in the same period last year. Also contributing to growth in this
profit center were the consumer loans obtained in the ACB and Rochester banking
office acquisitions.
Finally, the performance of this profit center was adversely
impacted by a $387,000 or almost 95% increase in loan and real estate charge-off
activity in the most recent year compared to 2001.
EDUCATION LENDING Profits from education lending declined by
$213,000 or 22.8% and $127,000 or 7.9% during the three and six month periods
ended June 30, 2002, respectively, as compared to the same periods in the
previous year. These declines were due in part to a modest decrease in the
profit center's interest rate spread in 2002 compared to 2001. During 2002, the
average yield on education loans has declined more than the average cost of the
funding sources for the profit center, which consist primarily of money market
demand accounts. Also contributing to the decline in earnings in this profit
center was a $66,000 increase in marketing expenditures between 2002 and 2001,
as well as the fact that last year's profits included a $50,000 gain on the sale
of $1.4 million in education loans.
During the six months ended June 30, 2002, the average assets
assigned to this profit center were $214.7 million, a $1.1 million or 0.5%
increase over the same period last year. Year-to-date, this profit center has
originated $17.7 million in loans in 2002 compared to $16.5 million in 2001.
The earnings of the education lending profit center are
expected to decline further in the third quarter of 2002. Education loans carry
a floating rate of interest based on various three-month market indices. This
rate, however, is subject to a floor that is reset in July of each year. The
sharp decline in market rates since last year will result in a much lower floor
rate on these loans beginning in the third quarter. As such, management expects
the yield on education loans to decline by 150 to 200 basis points in the third
quarter.
20
INVESTMENT AND MORTGAGE-RELATED SECURITIES Profits from the
Corporation's investment securities portfolio increased to $665,000 in the
second quarter of 2002 compared to only $188,000 in the same quarter in 2002. On
a year-to-date basis, profits were $1.0 million in 2002 compared to $404,000 in
2001. These improvements were primarily volume related, as the average assets
assigned to the profit center increased by $307.8 million or almost 125% in the
most recent year compared to the previous year. The performance of this profit
center in 2002 was adversely impacted by a $166,000 loss on the sale of certain
investment securities, as described elsewhere in this report.
OTHER SEGMENTS This profit center consists of the parent
holding company and certain of the Bank's wholly-owned subsidiaries. In
addition, in 2002 this profit center contains the preliminary results of the
Corporation's new line of business--commercial banking. The financial results of
this profit center have not been reported separately in 2002 due to continuing
efforts to design these products on the Corporation's systems, as well as
efforts to complete the integration of the operations of ACB and the three
commercial banking offices the Corporation acquired in Rochester, Minnesota.
NON-GAAP ADJUSTMENTS Non-GAAP adjustments were $(242,000) in
the second quarter of 2002 compared to $1.5 million in the second quarter of the
previous year. Year-to-date, these adjustments were $(340,000) in 2002 and were
$1.7 million in 2002. The changes between these periods were due primarily to
the fact that in 2001 a substantial portion of the efforts in the mortgage
banking profit center were devoted to the refinance of existing loans rather
than the origination of new loans. As such, the Corporation recorded
significantly higher levels of internal charge-offs related to its mortgage
servicing operations. In addition, the residential loan profit center
experienced a substantially higher level of charge-offs related to
internally-capitalized origination costs.
NET COST TO ACQUIRE AND MAINTAIN DEPOSIT LIABILITIES In
addition to the after-tax performance of the aforementioned profit centers,
management of the Corporation closely monitors the net cost to acquire and
maintain deposit liabilities. The Corporation's profit centers are allocated a
share of the net cost to acquire and maintain deposit liabilities according to
their proportionate use of such deposits as a funding source. As such, changes
in the net cost to acquire and maintain deposit liabilities will impact most of
the Corporation's profit centers.
The net cost to acquire and maintain deposit liabilities was
1.40% and 1.22% of average deposit liabilities outstanding during the three
months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. On a year-to-date basis, the
net cost was 1.34% and 1.28%, respectively. The increase in net cost between
these periods was the result of a larger increase in the Corporation's net costs
of operating its branch network than its average deposit liabilities. As
discussed elsewhere in this report, the Corporation has incurred significant
costs in recent periods to expand its branch network, as well as its product
offerings. Conversely, deposit growth has slowed in the current interest rate
environment.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
OVERVIEW The Corporation's total assets increased by $131.2 million or
4.8% during the six months ended June 30, 2002. The increase was primarily
caused by the Corporation's acquisition of three banking offices from another
financial institution in April, 2002. Refer to "Other Matters", for
additional discussion.
OVERNIGHT INVESTMENTS Interest-bearing deposits with banks, which
consist of overnight investments at the FHLB, short-term money market accounts,
and Federal funds purchased, increased by $63.5 million or 65% from $98.2
million at December 31, 2001, to $161.8 million at June 30, 2002. The large
amount of overnight investments at June 30, 2002, was caused by the temporary
investment of proceeds from loan sales and increases in deposit liabilities.
These investments will be used to pay down funding sources as they mature or
will be reinvested in other interest-earning assets.
21
INVESTMENT SECURITIES The Corporation's investment securities decreased
from $35.5 million at December 31, 2001, to zero at June 30, 2002. In January
2002, the Corporation sold $35.5 million in callable securities issued by
various agencies of the U.S. government. Despite an accounting loss of
approximately $166,000 on the sale, the holding period return on these
securities was comparable to a money market yield, which was the Corporation's
minimum expectation when it purchased the securities.
MORTGAGE-BACKED AND RELATED SECURITIES The Corporation's aggregate
investment in its mortgage-backed and related securities portfolios decreased by
$4.6 million or 1.1% during the six months ended June 30, 2002. During the six
month period, principal payments and premium amortization on the portfolio
offset the purchase of $137.2 million in CMOs.
LOANS HELD FOR SALE The Corporation's loans held for sale decreased by
$34.3 million or over 60% during the six months ended June 30, 2002. This
decrease was due to a stable to slightly higher interest rate environment after
December 31, 2001, that reduced consumer demand for fixed-rate mortgage loans.
Such loans are classified as "held for sale" until the date of the sale, which
typically occurs within 30 to 60 days of origination.
LOANS HELD FOR INVESTMENT The Corporation's loans held for investment
increased by $87.0 million or 4.7% during the six months ended June 30, 2002.
Most of this increase was the result of portfolio loans acquired in the
Rochester acquisition. Excluding the effect of the Rochester acquisition, the
Corporation's loans held for investment decreased by approximately $27.6 million
or 1.5%. During 2001 and continuing into 2002, the interest rate environment had
a significant impact on the ability of the Corporation to maintain its
internally-originated portfolio of loans held for investment. This situation
developed because low interest rates tend to increase customer preference for
fixed-rate mortgage loans, as opposed to adjustable-rate loans. In addition, a
low interest rate environment encourages borrowers to refinance their existing
adjustable-rate residential loans into fixed-rate loans to "lock-in" a lower
long-term rate. Given the Corporation's policy of selling these types of loans
in the secondary market, its internally-originated portfolio of adjustable-rate
residential loans declined in the most recent period.
In July 2002, the Corporation committed to purchase approximately $200
million in single-family residential loans from two third-party financial
institutions. The Corporation may purchase additional amounts in the near term
in order to reinvest excess liquidity and maintain growth in its earning assets.
Single-family residential loans purchased by the Corporation are subjected to
substantially the same underwriting process as the Corporation's own loans. The
servicing of these loans is retained by the sellers, for which the Corporation
pays a fee of approximately 38 basis points on the unpaid principal balance. The
loans are generally located throughout the U.S., with no single state making up
more than 30-40% of the overall principal. The loans have adjustable-rates that
reset annually at an average margin of approximately 275 basis points above the
one-year U.S. Treasury bill. Most of the loans have fixed interest rates for
terms of five years before their first adjustment date. The loans are purchased
by First Capital Holdings, Inc., the Corporation's wholly-owned investment
subsidiary in Nevada.
FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK STOCK The Corporation's FHLB stock increased
$26.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2002. The Corporation
purchased additional shares of FHLB stock as an alternative to investment in
overnight deposits.
MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS The Corporation's mortgage servicing rights,
net of valuation allowances, were $31.5 million and $29.9 million as of June 30,
2002, and December 31, 2001, respectively. These amounts were 1.15% and 1.13% of
the principal serviced for others, which amounted to $2.7 billion and $2.7
billion at June 30, 2002, and December 31, 2001, respectively. The valuation
allowance for MSR losses was $750,000 and $2.6 million at June 30, 2002, and
December 31, 2001, respectively.
INTANGIBLE ASSETS The Corporation's intangible assets increased $19.6
million during the six months ended June 30, 2002. This increase was the result
of deposit-based intangibles and goodwill created in the Rochester transaction.
22
DEPOSIT LIABILITIES The Corporation's deposit liabilities increased by
$131.9 million or 6.5% during the six months ended June 30, 2002. Most of this
growth was due to the assumption of deposit liabilities in the Rochester
acquisition.
FHLB ADVANCES The Corporation's FHLB advances decreased by $26.4
million or 5.6% during the six months ended June 30, 2002. This funding source
was replaced by increases in deposit liabilities, as previously described.
NON-PERFORMING ASSETS The Corporation's non-performing assets
(consisting of non-accrual loans, real estate acquired through foreclosure or
deed-in-lieu thereof, and real estate in judgement) amounted to $8.6 million or
0.30% of total assets at June 30, 2002, compared to $8.5 million or 0.31% of
total assets at December 31, 2001. The Corporation's allowance for loan and real
estate losses was 125% and 120% of non-performing assets as of the same dates,
respectively.
In addition to non-performing assets, at June 30, 2002, management was
closely monitoring $11.0 million in assets which it had classified as doubtful,
substandard, or special mention, but which were performing in accordance with
their terms. This compares to $10.3 million in such assets at December 31, 2001.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Bank is required under applicable federal regulations to maintain
sufficient liquidity to ensure safe and sound operation. The Bank's objective is
to maintain liquid assets (generally defined as cash and due from banks,
interest-bearing deposits with banks, investment securities, and mortgage-backed
and related securities) equal to at least 4% of its liquidity base (generally
defined as short-term deposit liabilities and other borrowings). In addition,
the Corporation has management policies in place to ensure that it maintains
adequate short-term borrowing capacity with various lenders. At June 30, 2002,
the Bank was in compliance with its management policies with respect to asset
liquidity and borrowing capacity.
The Corporation's stockholders' equity ratio as of June 30, 2002, was
6.93% of total assets. The Corporation's long-term objective is to maintain its
stockholders' equity ratio at approximately 7.0%. The Corporation's tangible
stockholders' equity ratio was 5.46% as of June 30, 2002.
The Bank is also required to maintain specified amounts of capital
pursuant to regulations promulgated by the OTS and the FDIC. The Bank's
objective is to maintain its regulatory capital in an amount sufficient to be
classified in the highest regulatory capital category (i.e., as a "well
capitalized" institution). At June 30, 2002, the Bank's regulatory capital
exceeded all regulatory minimum requirements as well as the amount required to
be classified as a "well capitalized" institution.
The Corporation paid cash dividends of $5.0 million and $4.2 million
during the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. These amounts
equated to dividend payout ratios of 31.7% and 34.5% of the net income in such
periods, respectively. It is the Corporation's objective to maintain its
dividend payout ratio in a range of 25% to 35% of net income. However, the
Corporation's dividend policy and/or dividend payout ratio will be impacted by
considerations such as the level of stockholders' equity in relation to the
Corporation's stated goal, as previously described, regulatory capital
requirements for the Bank, as previously described, and certain dividend
restrictions in effect for the Bank. Furthermore, unanticipated or non-recurring
fluctuations in earnings may impact the Corporation's ability to pay dividends
and/or maintain a given dividend payout ratio.
On July 23, 2002, the Corporation's Board of Directors declared a
regular quarterly dividend of $0.13 per share payable on September 5, 2002, to
shareholders of record on August 15, 2002.
During the six month period ending June 30, 2002, the Corporation
repurchased 461,384 shares under its 2000 stock repurchase plan (the "2000
Plan") at a cost of $8.7 million. In April 2002, the Corporation's Board of
Directors extended the 2000 Plan for another twelve months and adopted another
stock repurchase plan (the "2002 Plan") that authorizes the repurchase of up to
1,001,678 shares or approximately 5% of outstanding common stock.
23
Both the 2000 and 2002 Plans have a twelve month term and authorize the
Corporation to repurchase shares from time-to-time in open-market transactions
as, in the opinion of management, market conditions warrant. The repurchased
shares will be held as treasury stock and will be available for general
corporate purposes.
During the six month period ending June 30, 2002, the Corporation
reissued 121,714 shares of common stock out of its inventory of treasury stock
with a cost basis of approximately $2.0 million. In general, these shares were
issued upon the exercise of stock options by, or the issuance of restricted
stock to, employees and directors of the Corporation.
OTHER MATTERS
In April 2002, the Bank completed the acquisition of three bank offices
in Rochester, Minnesota from another financial institution. The transaction was
accounted for using the purchase method of accounting in accordance with SFAS
141. The amount of goodwill recorded in connection with this transaction was
$16.7 million. In addition, the Corporation recorded a deposit-based intangible
of $2.1 million in connection with the transaction. The goodwill will not be
amortized, which is in accordance with SFAS 142. The deposit-based intangible
will be amortized using an accelerated method, in accordance with SFAS 142.
Following is a summary of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed
in the Rochester transaction. The table excludes cash and cash equivalents
acquired of $629,000.

In March 2002, the Bank announced an agreement with another financial
institution to purchase four supermarket banking offices in the Minnesota cities
of Rochester, Albert Lea, Austin, and Mankato. All of the bank offices are
located in supermarkets. The acquisition will include substantially all of the
deposits and loans of the bank offices along with the net book value of related
premises and equipment. Management expects the deposit and loan balances to be
approximately $20 million and $2 million, respectively. These amounts are
subject to change depending on customer transaction activity until the date of
closing. The transaction is subject to approval by the Bank's regulators and
currently is expected to close in the third quarter of 2002. The Bank will
simultaneously convert all deposit and loan customers to its systems.

ITEM 3--QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Corporation manages the exposure of its operations to changes in
interest rates ("interest rate risk" or "market risk") by monitoring its ratios
of interest-earning assets to interest-bearing liabilities within one- and
three-year maturities and/or repricing dates (i.e., its one- and three-year
"gaps"). Management has sought to control the Corporation's one- and three-year
gaps, thereby limiting the affects of changes in interest rates on its future
earnings, by selling substantially all of its long-term, fixed-rate,
single-family mortgage loan production, investing in adjustable-rate
single-family mortgage loans, investing in consumer, education, and commercial
business loans which generally have shorter terms to maturity and/or floating
rates of interest, and investing in commercial real estate loans, which also
tend to have shorter terms to maturity and/or floating rates of interest. The
Corporation also invests from time-to-time in adjustable-rate and short- and
medium-term fixed-rate CMOs and MBSs. As a result of this strategy, the
Corporation's exposure to interest rate risk is significantly impacted by its
funding of the aforementioned asset groups with deposit liabilities and FHLB
advances that tend to have average terms to maturity of less than one year or
carry floating rates of interest.
In general, it is management's goal to maintain the Corporation's
one-year gap in a range between 0% and -30% and its three-year gap in a range
between 0% and -10%. Management believes this strategy takes advantage of the
fact that market yield curves tend to be upward sloping, which increases the
spread between the Corporation's earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities. Furthermore, management of the Corporation does not believe that
this strategy exposes the Corporation to unacceptable levels of interest rate
risk as evidenced by the fact that the Corporation's three-year gap is generally
maintained in a narrow band around zero, which implies that the Corporation is
exposed to little interest rate risk over a three-year horizon.
Although management believes that its asset/liability management
strategies reduce the potential effects of changes in interest rates on the
Corporation's operations, material and prolonged increases in interest rates may
adversely affect the Corporation's operations because the Corporation's
interest-bearing liabilities which mature or reprice within one year are greater
than the Corporation's interest-earning assets which mature or reprice within
the same period. Alternatively, material and prolonged decreases in interest
rates may benefit the Corporation's operations.
The Corporation is also required by the OTS to estimate the sensitivity
of its net portfolio value of equity ("NPV") to immediate and sustained changes
in interest rates and to measure such sensitivity on at least a quarterly basis.
NPV is defined as the estimated net present value of an institution's existing
assets, liabilities, and off-balance sheet instruments at a given level of
market interest rates. In general, it is management's goal to limit estimated
changes in the Corporation's NPV under specified interest rate scenarios such
that the Corporation will continue to be classified by the OTS as an institution
with minimal exposure to interest rate risk.
As of June 30, 2002, the Corporation was in compliance with its
management polices with respect to exposure to interest rate risk. Furthermore,
there was no material change in its interest rate risk exposure since
December 31, 2001.
