NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. REORGANIZATION

The Registrant is the successor to Webster City Federal  Savings Bank, a federal
stock  savings  bank (the "Bank")  which  reorganized  into the holding  company
structure, effective July 1, 1999 (the "Holding Company Reorganization"). In the
Holding  Company  Reorganization,  each  outstanding  share of the Bank's common
stock was converted into one share of the  Registrant's  common stock,  and each
stockholder of the Bank received the same  ownership  interest in the Registrant
immediately following the Holding Company Reorganization as he or she had in the
Bank immediately prior to that transaction. Because the reporting period covered
by this report ended on June 30, 1999 (the day prior to the  consummation of the
Holding Company Reorganization), the consolidated financial statements presented
herein reflect the financial performance of the Bank and not the Registrant.


2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICES

The consolidated  financial statements for the three and six-month periods ended
June 30, 1999 and 1998 are  unaudited.  In the opinion of  management of Webster
City  Federal  Bancorp  these  financial  statements  reflect  all  adjustments,
consisting only of normal recurring  accruals  necessary to present fairly these
consolidated  financial  statements.  The results of operations  for the interim
periods are not  necessarily  indicative  of results that may be expected for an
entire year. Certain information and footnote  disclosures  normally included in
financial  statements  prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been omitted.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated  financial  statements include the accounts of the Bank and its
wholly owned subsidiary,  WCF Service  Corporation which is engaged in the sales
of mortgage  life and credit life  insurance to the Bank's loan  customers.  All
material inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.


3. EARNINGS PER SHARE COMPUTATIONS - 1999

Earnings  per share - basic is computed  using the  weighted  average  number of
common  shares  outstanding  of 2,119,049  and  2,118,650  for the three and six
months ended June 30, 1999, respectively, reduced by the 13,539 weighted average
unearned  ESOP shares and divided into the net earnings of $268,100 and $606,200
for the three and six months  ended June 30,  1999,  respectively,  resulting in
earnings  per share of $.13 and $.29 for the three and six months ended June 30,
1999, respectively.

Earnings per share - diluted is computed  using the weighted  average  number of
common shares outstanding after giving effect to additional shares assumed to be
issued in relation to the Bank's stock  option plan using the average  price per
share for the period.  Such additional shares were 5,172 and 7,454 for the three
and six months ended June 30, 1999, respectively. Earnings for the three and six
months ended June 30, 1999 were $268,100 and $606,200,  respectively,  resulting
in earnings  per share of $.13 and $.29 for the three and six months  ended June
30, 1999, respectively.

EARNINGS PER SHARE COMPUTATIONS - 1998

Earnings  per share - basic is computed  using the  weighted  average  number of
common  shares  outstanding  of 2,093,866  and  2,115,194  for the three and six
months ended June 30, 1998, respectively, reduced by the 20,127 weighted average
unearned  ESOP shares and divided into the net earnings of $328,400 and $658,200
for the three and six months  ended June 30,  1998,  respectively,  resulting in
earnings  per share of $.16 and $.31 for the three and six months ended June 30,
1998, respectively.

Earnings per share - diluted is computed  using the weighted  average  number of
common shares outstanding after giving effect to additional shares assumed to be
issued in relation to the Bank's stock  option plan using the average  price per
share for the  period.  Such  additional  shares  were 21,328 and 22,409 for the
three and six months ended June 30, 1998,  respectively.  Earnings for the three
and six months  ended June 30, 1998 were  $328,400 and  $658,200,  respectively,
resulting  in  earnings  per share of $.16 and $.31 for the three and six months
ended June 30, 1998, respectively

4. DIVIDENDS

On April 21, 1999 the Bank  declared a cash dividend on its common stock payable
on May 21, 1999 to stockholders  of record as of May 7, 1999,  equal to $.20 per
share or approximately  $422,393.  Of this amount,  the payment of approximately
$230,000  (representing  the dividend  payable on 1,150,000  shares owned by WCF
Financial,  M.H.C.,  the Bank's mutual holding company) was waived by the mutual
holding company, resulting in an actual dividend distribution of $192,393.

Item 2. Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
        of Operations


FINANCIAL CONDITION

Total assets decreased by $1.7 million,  or 1.8%, from December 31, 1998 to June
30, 1999. Cash and cash  equivalents  decreased $8.5 million or 64.6% while time
deposits in other financial institutions increased $346,000 to $2.6 million from
$2.3  million.  The  increase  in time  deposits  was due to the  Bank  matching
certificate  of deposits  of public  funds with  certificate  of deposits at the
Federal Home Loan Bank. Loans receivable  increased $1.1 million, or 1.9% during
the same period. At June 30, 1999, the Bank had no real estate owned. Investment
securities  increased  from December 31, 1998 to June 30, 1999  primarily due to
the  Bank  having  some  securities  that  matured  at the  end of  1998,  while
reinvestment  of these funds did not occur until the first quarter of 1999. When
the Bank  reinvested  the funds in the first  quarter this caused an  offsetting
decrease in cash and cash  equivalents.  During the  six-month  period  deposits
decreased $1.9 million, or 2.8%.

Total  stockholders'  equity  increased by $424,400 to $23.5 million at June 30,
1999 from $23.1 at December  31, 1998 as  earnings  of $606,200  were  partially
offset by two quarterly  dividends  totaling  $382,100 and  amortization  of the
employee stock ownership plan.

CAPITAL

The Bank's total stockholders' equity increased by $424,400, to $23.5 million at
June 30, 1999 from $23.1  million at  December  31,  1998.  The Office of Thrift
Supervision   (OTS)  requires  that  the  Bank  meet  certain   minimum  capital
requirements. As of June 30, 1999 the Bank was in compliance with all regulatory
capital requirements.  The Bank's required,  actual and excess capital levels as
of June 30, 1999 were as follows:

LIQUIDITY

OTS  regulations  require  the Bank to  maintain  an  average  daily  balance of
qualified liquid assets (cash, certain time deposits and specified United States
government,  state or federal agency  obligations) equal to a monthly average of
not less than 4% of its net withdrawable deposits plus short term borrowings. At
June 30, 1999, the Bank's quarterly average liquidity position was $19.2 million
or 27.7% compared to $13.8 million or 19.7% at December 31, 1998.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Interest  Income.  Total  interest  income  decreased  $63,100 or 3.8% from $1.7
million for the three  months  ended June 30, 1998  compared to $1.6 million for
the three months ended June 30, 1999.  Interest  income totaled $3.2 million for
the six months  ended June 30, 1999  compared to $3.4 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1998.  This was the result of a decrease in the average  yield on
interest-earning  assets to 7.02% for the six months  ended  June 30,  1999 from
7.15% for the six months  ended  June 30,  1998 and a  decrease  in the  average
balance of interest  earning assets of $2.7 million or 2.9% to $91.4 million for
the six months  ended June 30, 1999 from $94.1  million for the six months ended
June 30, 1998.

Interest on loans for the three months ended June 30, 1999 increased  $41,200 or
3.9% compared to the three months ended June 30, 1998. Interest on loans for the
six months  ended June 30, 1999  increased  $79,600 or 3.8%  compared to the six
months ended June 30, 1998. The increases resulted primarily from an increase in
total loans outstanding  during the periods,  offset by a decrease in the yields
on loans  receivable  from 7.75% for the six months ended June 30, 1998 compared
to 7.72% for the six months ended June 30, 1999.  The decreases in the yields on
loans  receivable  were  primarily  due to lower market rates and a  substantial
volume of adjustable  rate loans  repricing at a lower rate based on the lagging
index used by the Bank.

Interest on  mortgage-backed  securities  decreased  by $72,600 or 32.2% for the
three-month period ended June 30, 1999 as compared to the same period ended June
30, 1998. Interest on mortgage-backed securities decreased $167,200 or 35.6% for
the six months ended June 30, 1999  compared to same period ended June 30, 1998.
These declines  resulted from a decrease of $4.1 million or 30.5% in the average
balance of  mortgage-backed  securities to $9.4 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1999 compared to $13.5 million for six months ended June 30, 1998 and a
decrease of 51 basis points in the average yield on  mortgage-backed  securities
to 6.42% for the six months  ended  June 30,  1999 from 6.93% for the six months
ended June 30, 1998 as higher rate mortgage-backed securities were paid off.

Interest on investment  securities remained unchanged for the three months ended
June 30,  1999  compared  to the same period  ended June 30,  1998.  Interest on
investment  securities  decreased  by $72,600 or 13.8% for the six months  ended
June 30, 1999 as compared to the same period ended June 30,  1998.  This was due
to a decrease in the average balance of investment securities from $16.2 million
for the six months  ended June 30, 1998  compared  to $14.6  million for the six
months  ended June 30,  1999 as well as a decrease  in the  average  yield of 28
basis  points  from  6.51%,  on June 30, 1998 to 6.23%,  on June 30,  1999.  The
generally  lower  interest  rate  environment  during the  current  fiscal  year
resulted in the declining yields on investment securities.

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased by $99,400, or 11.8%, from $844,400
for the three  months ended June 30, 1998 to $745,000 for the three months ended
June 30,  1999.  Interest  expense  decreased  by $196,100  or 11.6%,  from $1.6
million for the six months  ended June 30, 1998 to $1.5 for the six months ended
June 30,  1999.  This  decrease  resulted  from a decrease  in average  deposits
outstanding as average deposits decreased by $3.1 million from $69.9 million for
the six months  ended June 30, 1998 to $66.8  million  for the six months  ended
June 30, 1999.  The average cost of deposits also decreased 36 basis points from
4.74% for the six  months  ended  June 30,  1998  compared  to 4.38% for the six
months ended June 30, 1999.

Net Interest  Income.  Net interest income before  provision for losses on loans
increased  by $36,300 or 4.4% from  $818,500 for the three months ended June 30,
1998 compared to $854,800 for the three months ended June 30, 1999. Net interest
income  increased  by  $39,200 or 2.4% for the six  months  ended June 30,  1999
compared to the same period ended June 30, 1998. The Bank's interest rate spread
at June 30, 1999  increased  by 23 basis  points to 2.64% from 2.41% at June 30,
1998.

Provision for Losses on Loans.  There were no provisions for losses on loans for
the three and six months  ended June 30,  1999.  The Bank had no  non-performing
loans as of June 30,  1999  compared  to $15,300 as of December  31,  1998.  The
allowance for losses on loans is based on  management's  periodic  evaluation of
the loan  portfolio and reflects an amount that,  in  management's  opinion,  is
adequate to absorb probable losses in the existing portfolio.  In evaluating the
portfolio,  management  takes into  consideration  numerous  factors,  including
current economic conditions,  prior loan loss experience, the composition of the
loan portfolio, and management's estimate of anticipated credit losses.

Non-interest Income. Total non-interest income decreased by $30,400 or 44.4% for
the three-month  period ended June 30, 1999 as compared to the same period ended
June 30, 1998. Non-interest income decreased $29,600 or 26.7% for the six months
ended June 30,  1999 as compared to the same  period  ended June 30,  1998.  The
decreases  were  related to a decrease in fees and service  charges,  due to the
repricing of service charges.

Non-interest  Expense.  Non-interest expense increased $106,100 or 29.8% for the
three-month  period  ended June 30, 1999  compared to the same period ended June
30, 1998.  Non-interest  expense  increased  $101,700 or 14.2% for the six-month
period  ended June 30, 1999  compared to the same  period  ended June 30,  1998.
Compensation and benefit costs increased $101,000 or 51.0% from $197,900 for the
three  months  ended June 30, 1998 to $298,900  for the three month period ended
June 30, 1999.  Compensation  and benefit costs increased by $89,000 to $485,900
for the six months  ended June 30, 1999 from  $396,900  for the six months ended
June 30,  1998.  The  increases  were  primarily  due to the Bank paying off the
balance of the ESOP loan of $141,800 on June 30, 1999.

Taxes on Income.

Income  taxes for the three and six months  ended June 30,  1999,  decreased  to
$162,500 and $366,000  from $202,500 and $406,000 for the same periods for 1998.
The  effective  income  tax rate for the  first  six  months  of 1999 was  37.7%
compared to 38.2% for the first six months of 1998.

Net Earnings.  Net earnings totaled $268,100 for the three months ended June 30,
1999 compared to $328,400 for the three months ended June 30, 1998. Net earnings
decreased  $52,000 or 7.9% for the six-month period ended June 30, 1999 compared
to the same period ended June 30, 1998.


Impact of Year 2000 Compliance

         The federal banking regulators recently issued guidelines  establishing
minimum safety and soundness  standards for achieving Year 2000 compliance.  The
guidelines,  which took effect  October  15, 1998 and apply to all  FDIC-insured
depository  institutions,  establish  standards for developing and managing Year
2000 project plans, testing remediation efforts, and planning for contingencies.
The guidelines are based upon guidance  previously  issued by the agencies under
the  auspices of the Federal  Financial  Institutions  Examination  Council (the
"FFIEC"),  but are not intended to replace or supplant the FFIEC  guidance which
will continue to apply to all federally insured depository institutions.

         The  guidelines  were issued  under  section 39 of the Federal  Deposit
Insurance  Act, as amended (the  "FDIA"),  which  requires  the federal  banking
regulators to establish  standards for the safe and sound operation of federally
insured depository institutions. Under section 39 of the FDIA, if an institution
fails  to  meet  any  of  the  standards  established  in  the  guidelines,  the
institution's  primary federal regulator may require the institution to submit a
plan for achieving  compliance.  If an institution fails to submit an acceptable
compliance plan, or fails in any respect to implement a compliance plan that has
been  accepted by its primary  federal  regulator,  the regulator is required to
issue an order directing the  institution to cure the deficiency.  Such an order
is  enforceable  in court in the same manner as a cease and desist order.  Until
the  deficiency  cited in the  regulator's  order is cured,  the  regulator  may
restrict the institution's  rate of growth,  require the institution to increase
its capital,  restrict the rates the institution pays on deposits or require the
institution  to take any  action  the  regulator  deems  appropriate  under  the
circumstances.  In addition to the enforcement procedures established in section
39 of the FDIA,  noncompliance with the standards  established by the guidelines
may  also be  grounds  for  other  enforcement  action  by the  federal  banking
regulators,   including   cease  and  desist  orders  and  civil  money  penalty
assessments.

         The Board of Directors  is aware of  potential  risk that the year 2000
poses for the Bank and has assigned an individual to establish  Year 2000 formal
project plans,  which have been  developed and adopted by the Bank.  Testing and
contingency  plans have also been  developed  and  adopted by the Bank.  Testing
procedures have been completed.



                                       8
<PAGE>


         The Bank's contingency plans include two components, which are business
remediation and business resumption. The business remediation plan was developed
to mitigate the risk associated with the failure to successfully complete system
renovation, validation or implementation of the Bank's Year 2000 readiness. This
plan  pertains  to  mission-critical  systems  developed  in-house,  by  outside
software vendors, and by third-party service providers.  The business resumption
plan will be designed to be implemented  in the event there are system  failures
at critical dates.

         The Bank  anticipates that it will incur internal staff costs and other
expenses  related to the  enhancements  necessary to become Year 2000 compliant.
Based  on the  Bank's  current  knowledge,  the  expense  related  to Year  2000
compliance  is not  expected to have a material  effect on the Bank's  financial
position or results of  operations.  It is estimated  that the costs incurred by
the Bank for Year 2000 compliance will be approximately $ 10,000.

         Accurate data processing is essential to the operation of the Bank, and
a lack of accurate  processing by its vendors  could have a significant  adverse
impact on the Bank's financial condition and results of operations.

         The Bank has been assured by its data  processing  service  bureau that
their computer services will function properly on and after January 1, 2000.

         Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  if the Bank is unable to resolve this
potential  problem in time,  the Bank will likely  experience  significant  data
processing  delays,  mistakes or failures.  These  delays,  mistakes or failures
could have a significant  adverse impact on the financial  condition and results
of operations of the Bank.

         The Bank has also tested such things as vault  doors,  alarms,  phones,
etc. and is not aware of any significant problems with such systems.

         The Bank has  received  year 2000  updates  from  most of its  material
non-information  system providers,  and based on these updates the Bank does not
anticipate any significant year 2000 issues.

         In addition to expenses  related to its own computer  system,  the Bank
could  incur  losses if loan  payments  are  delayed  due to year 2000  problems
affecting any of its  significant  borrowers or impairing the payroll systems of
large employers in the Bank's market area. The Bank is communicating  with these
companies to assess their progress in evaluating  their systems and implementing
any corrective measures required by them to be prepared for the year 2000.

Impact of New Accounting Standards


         SFAS  133,   "Accounting   for  Derivative   Instruments   and  Hedging
Activities,"  and SFAS 137, an amendment to SFAS 133,  will be effective for the
Bank for the year  beginning  January 1, 2001.  Management  is  evaluating  what
impact  the  adoption  of  SFAS  133  and  SFAS  137  will  have  on the  Bank's
consolidated  financial  statements.  The Bank expects to adopt SFAS No. 133 and
137 when required.

Government,  including  polices of the U.S.  Treasury  and the  Federal  Reserve
Board, the quality of composition of the loan or investment  portfolios,  demand
for loan products, deposit flows, competition,  demand for financial services in
the Bank's market area and accounting principles, policies and guidelines. These
risks and  uncertainties  should be  considered  in  evaluating  forward-looking
statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements.
