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 nine month
periods ended September 30, 1999, may not necessarily be indicative of the
results which may be expected for the entire year ending December 31, 1999.
Certain 1998 balances have been reclassified to conform to the 1999
presentation.
NOTE 3--EARNINGS PER SHARE
Earnings per share data are based on the weighted-average number of
common shares outstanding during each period, including any restricted shares.
Diluted earnings per share are adjusted for common stock equivalents outstanding
at the end of each period. Common stock equivalents are computed using the
treasury stock method and consist of stock options outstanding under the
Corporation's stock incentive plans. 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 nine month periods ended September 30, 1999
and 1998, 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
DIVISIONS AND PROFIT CENTERS The Bank has six operating divisions: (i)
executive, (ii) finance and administration, (iii) human resources, (iv)
residential lending, (v) commercial real estate lending, and (vi) retail
banking. Each division is headed by an executive officer that reports directly
to the president of the Bank. The last three divisions contain the Bank's profit
centers for segment reporting purposes. These divisions are primarily involved
in the delivery of financial products and services to the Bank's deposit and
loan customers. The remaining divisions consist principally of support
departments.
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 Bank for investment purposes (loans held for sale are included in
the mortgage banking profit center). Commercial real estate lending is a single
profit center for segment reporting purposes. It consists of the Bank's
portfolio of multi-family and commercial mortgage loans, as well as functions
related to the origination and servicing of such loans. Retail banking is
divided into two profit centers for segment reporting purposes: (i) a consumer
lending portfolio, which consists of the Bank'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. The Bank's retail branch network, which delivers checking, savings, and
other deposit-related products and services to customers, is also part of retail
banking, but is considered a support department for segment reporting purposes,
as more fully described in a subsequent paragraph. Finally, the Bank's
investment and mortgage-related securities portfolio is considered a profit
center for segment reporting purposes. Personnel in finance and administration
manage this portfolio.
MEASUREMENT OF SEGMENT PROFIT (LOSS) Management evaluates the after-tax
performance of the Bank'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 Bank's
accounting systems. Interest expense is allocated to each profit center
according to its use of the Bank's funding sources, which consist primarily of
deposit liabilities, Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") advances, 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 Bank's support departments is allocated
to the Bank's profit centers and to the retail 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
retail banking network. In addition, certain allocations of revenues and
expenses are made between profit centers when they perform services for each
other.
The Bank's retail 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 Bank's other support departments) to arrive at
net cost 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.
10
<PAGE> 12
For segment reporting purposes, management makes certain non-GAAP
adjustments and reclassifications to the earnings, assets, and equity of the
Bank that, in management's judgement, more fairly reflect the performance and/or
financial condition of certain of the Bank's profit centers. Following is a
description of the more significant adjustments:
INTEREST INCOME AND EXPENSE Interest income is credited to the
mortgage banking profit center for implied earnings on non-interest-bearing
liabilities such as custodial and escrow accounts. The offsetting interest
expense is charged to each profit center according to their use of these funding
sources, as previously described. Fee income from customers that make their
monthly loan payments late ("late charges") is reclassified from interest income
to non-interest income in the mortgage banking profit center.
LOAN ORIGINATION FEES AND COSTS In accordance with GAAP,
origination fees earned on residential loans held for investment are deferred
and amortized over the expected life of the loans, as are the direct costs to
originate the loans. In general, these deferrals and their subsequent
amortization are disregarded for segment reporting purposes. As a result, the
mortgage banking cost center receives revenue for loans that it originates for
the portfolio of residential loans held for investment, as well as a full charge
for the costs to originate the loans. These fees and costs are in addition to
the fees it receives and the costs it incurs on loans originated for sale in the
secondary market, which are included in current earnings under GAAP.
MORTGAGE SERVICING RIGHTS In accordance with GAAP, mortgage
servicing rights are not recorded on residential loans held for investment.
However, for segment reporting purposes, the mortgage banking profit center
receives an income allocation for the origination of such loans, which
represents the estimated value of the mortgage servicing rights. This allocation
is in addition to the gain from mortgage servicing rights that is recorded on
loans sold in the secondary market, as permitted under GAAP. The amortization of
the mortgage servicing rights created by this allocation is charged-back to the
mortgage banking profit center over the estimated life of the loans.
LOAN SERVICING FEES In accordance with GAAP, loan servicing
fee income is not recorded on loans held for investment. However, for segment
reporting purposes, the mortgage banking profit center receives an income
allocation for the services it performs for the Bank's residential, commercial
real estate, and consumer loan portfolios. This allocation is in addition to the
service fee income that the profit center receives on loans serviced for
third-parties, as recorded in the Bank's Consolidated Statement of Operations.
The aforementioned loan portfolios are charged with the offsetting servicing
cost.
PROVISION FOR LOAN AND REAL ESTATE LOSSES For segment
reporting purposes, the Bank disregards provisions for loan and real estate
losses recorded under GAAP. Rather, actual charge-off (recovery) activity is
charged (credited) to each profit center in the period it occurs.
INTANGIBLE ASSETS The amortization of goodwill and certain
other intangible assets is disregarded for segment reporting purposes.
INCOME TAXES In general, a standard income tax rate of
approximately 41% is used for segment reporting purposes. However, the income
tax benefit associated with assets held in Nevada by First Cap Holdings, Inc.
("FCHI"), the Bank's wholly-owned investment subsidiary, is allocated to the
profit centers that own such assets. This results in a lower effective income
tax rate, or even a negative rate, for such profit centers. During most of the
nine months ended September 30, 1998, the investment and mortgage-related
securities profit center was the only segment that held assets in Nevada. During
the nine months ended September 30, 1999, this segment, as well as the
residential loan portfolio, held assets in Nevada.
NON-GAAP ADJUSTMENTS TO ASSETS AND EQUITY Allowances for
losses on loans and real estate and security valuation allowances are added to
and/or excluded from assets of the profit centers. In addition, an estimated
value for mortgage servicing rights not recorded under GAAP is estimated and
added to the assets of the mortgage banking profit center. For each of these
adjustments, a corresponding amount is added to or excluded
11
<PAGE> 13
from equity prior to the proportionate allocation of equity to the profit
centers, as previously described. The amount added to or excluded from equity is
net of the estimated income tax effect.
SEGMENT PROFIT (LOSS) STATEMENTS AND OTHER INFORMATION The following
tables contain profit (loss) statements for each of the Bank's reportable
segments for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1999 and 1998.
In addition to the after-tax performance of profit centers, management of the
Bank closely monitors the net cost to acquire and maintain deposit liabilities
(as defined elsewhere in this footnote). The net cost to acquire and maintain
deposit liabilities was 1.00% and 1.31% of average deposit liabilities
outstanding during the three months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998,
respectively, and 1.13% and 1.30% during the nine months ended September 30,
1999 and 1998, respectively.

ITEM 2--MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The discussion in this report includes certain forward-looking
statements based on current management's expectations. Examples of factors which
could cause future results to differ from management's expectations include, but
are not limited to, the following: general economic and competitive conditions;
legislative and regulatory initiatives; monetary and fiscal policies of the
federal government; general market rates of interest; interest rates on
competing investments; interest rates on funding sources; consumer demand for
deposit and loan products and services; consumer demand for other financial
services; changes in accounting policies or guidelines; and changes in the
quality or composition of the Corporation's loan and investment portfolios.
Readers are cautioned that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of
future performance and that actual results may differ materially from
management's current expectations.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
QUARTER OVERVIEW The Corporation's net income for the three months
ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, was $5.4 million or $0.29 per diluted share
and $4.8 million or $0.24 per diluted share, respectively. These amounts
represented a return on average assets of 1.14% and 1.20%, respectively, and a
return on average equity of 16.36% and 15.85%, respectively.
The increase in net income from 1998 to 1999 was primarily attributable
to a $2.2 million increase in net interest income, a $1.6 million increase in
retail banking fees, and a $1.6 million improvement in loan servicing fees.
These developments were offset in part by a $2.7 million decline in gain on
sales of loans, as well as an increase in all non-interest expense categories.
Most notable was a $1.1 million increase in compensation and employee benefits.
NINE MONTH OVERVIEW The Corporation's net income for the nine months
ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, was $16.6 million or $0.87 per diluted share
and $14.3 million or $0.72 per diluted share, respectively. These amounts
represented a return on average assets of 1.20% for both periods and a return on
average equity of 17.61% and 16.47%, respectively.
The increase in net income from 1998 to 1999 was due principally to a
$5.2 million improvement in loan servicing fees, a $4.5 million increase in net
interest income, and a $4.0 million increase in retail banking fees. These
developments were partially offset by a $4.6 million decline in gain on sales of
loans, as well as increases in every non-interest expense category. Most
prominent was a $4.1 million increase in compensation and employee benefits.
The following paragraphs discuss the aforementioned changes in more
detail along with other changes in the components of net income during the three
and nine month periods ended September 30, 1999 and 1998.
NET INTEREST INCOME Net interest income increased by $2.2 million or
19.3% and $4.5 million or 12.9% during the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 1999, as compared to the same periods in the previous year. Net
interest income was favorably impacted by a $302.5 million or 20.2% increase and
a $244.2 million or 16.3% increase in the Corporation's average interest-earning
assets between such periods, respectively. The principal source of this growth
was in the Corporation's single-family residential loans, consumer loans, and
commercial real estate loans. Although mortgage-backed and related securities
also increased substantially between the nine-month periods, this increase was
largely the result of the Corporation's securitization of adjustable-rate
residential mortgage loans into mortgage-backed securities ("MBSs") in the
second quarter of 1998. The Corporation's growth was primarily funded by
increases in deposit liabilities, including non-interest-bearing deposits, and
to a lesser degree, by an increase in FHLB advances and a decline in overnight
investments. Refer to "Financial Condition" for additional discussion.

<PAGE> 17
The Corporation's interest rate spread increased from 2.51% during the
three months ended September 30, 1998, to 2.58% during the same period in 1999.
Between these periods, a 46 basis point decline in the Corporation's average
yield on interest-earning assets was more than offset by a 54 basis point
decline in its average cost of interest-bearing liabilities. These declines were
attributable to a generally lower interest rate environment in 1999 as compared
to 1998, although market rates have risen in recent months to levels that
approach or exceed the highs of 1998. The Corporation's average cost of
interest-bearing liabilities declined from 4.82% during the first quarter of
1999 to 4.58% in the quarter just ended. This decline contributed significantly
to the improvement in the Corporation's interest rate spread between such
periods. During the first few months of the year, a significant portion of the
Corporation's certificates of deposits matured and were replaced by certificates
carrying a lower rate of interest. In addition, during the period the
Corporation reduced the rate it pays on its interest-bearing checking accounts,
money market savings accounts, and regular savings accounts. Given recent
increases in market rates of interest, however, management is uncertain as to
how long it can maintain the current rates it offers on its deposit products. In
addition, recent and potential future increases in the federal funds rate will
most likely have an adverse impact on the rate the Corporation pays on
short-term borrowings from the FHLB. FHLB borrowings that mature either
overnight or within three months amounted to $161.5 million as of September 30,
1999.
The Corporation's interest rate spread declined modestly from 2.58%
during the nine months ended September 30, 1998, to 2.55% during the same period
in 1999. Management attributes this decline to a generally flatter yield curve
environment in 1999 as compared to 1998. This type of interest rate environment
typically has an unfavorable impact on the Corporation's interest rate spread
because of the tendency of the Corporation's assets to price off a longer end of
the yield curve than its liabilities. In recent months, however, the yield curve
has steepened somewhat with long-term rates rising faster then short-term rates.
Despite this development, management does not expect the Corporation's interest
rate spread to improve significantly in the immediate future because of the
tendency of its interest-bearing liabilities to reprice more quickly than its
interest-earning assets. Refer to Item 3,"Quantitative and Qualitative
Disclosures about Market Risk", for additional discussion.
The Corporation's interest income from single-family mortgage loans was
unfavorably impacted in the most recent period by a $291,000 write-off of
premium paid on adjustable-rate mortgage loans, due to faster than anticipated
prepayment activity. Such loans were purchased in 1998 and early 1999. Excluding
this development, the Corporation's interest rate spread would have been 2.65%
and 2.57% during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1999,
respectively. Recent increases in interest rates have reduced prepayment
activity on these loans. As such, management does not anticipate a need for a
similar write-off in the immediate future, although there can be no assurances.
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 nine month periods ended
September 30, 1999 and 1998.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES In general, provisions for loan losses
recorded during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1999 and
1998, approximated the Corporation's actual net charge-off activity during such
periods. On an annualized basis, net charge-offs were 0.01% and 0.03% of average
loans outstanding during the 1999 periods, respectively. These amounts compared
to 0.02% and 0.03% for the three and nine month periods in 1998, respectively.
Management of the Corporation expects the provision for the remainder of 1999 to
be modest and to also approximate actual charge-off activity, although there can
be no assurances.
As of September 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998, the Corporation's
allowance for loan losses was $7.7 million and $7.6 million, respectively, or
0.55% and 0.65% of loans held for investment, respectively. 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".
NON-INTEREST INCOME Non-interest income for the three months ended
September 30, 1999 and 1998, was $8.4 million and $7.9 million, respectively.
The following paragraphs discuss the principal components of non-interest income
and the primary reasons for their changes from 1998 to 1999.

<PAGE> 20
Retail banking fees and service charges increased by $1.6 million or
approximately 40% during the three months ended September 30, 1999, as compared
to the same period in the previous year. This increase was due in part to
approximately 30% growth since December 31, 1997, in the number of checking
accounts serviced by the Corporation. Over 50% of this growth came from retail
banking offices opened or acquired since that date (refer to "Results of
Operations--Non-Interest Expense" for additional discussion). Also contributing
to the increase in retail banking fees was an increase in the per-item charge
for overdrafts on checking accounts that was instituted in the second quarter of
1999.
Loan servicing fees improved by $1.6 million from $(691,000) during the
three months ended September 30, 1998, to $863,000 during the same period in
1999. The improvement in 1999 was the result of an increase in interest rates,
which reduced the impact of loan prepayments on the Corporation's mortgage
servicing rights. During the third quarter of 1998, the Corporation recorded
$1.6 million in losses on its mortgage servicing rights over-and-above that
which management considered to be "normal" periodic amortization. This compared
to only $101,000 during the most recent quarter.
Excluding the effects of the aforementioned losses, but net of "normal"
periodic amortization of mortgage servicing rights, loan servicing fees would
have increased by $30,000 or 3.2% during the three months ended September 30,
1999, compared to the same period in the previous year. This increase was
attributable to a $103.6 million or 5.8% increase in average mortgage loans
serviced for others between periods. This growth was due to an interest rate
environment during most of 1998 and early 1999 that resulted in significant
originations and sales of fixed-rate loans and which encouraged borrowers to
convert single-family adjustable-rate mortgage loans, which the Corporation
generally retains in portfolio, to fixed-rate mortgage loans. Upon conversion,
these loans were also sold and the Corporation retained the servicing.
Premiums and commissions on annuity and insurance sales increased by
$255,000 or almost 60% during the three months ended September 30, 1999, as
compared to the same period in the previous year. The Corporation's current
sources of premium and commission revenues are from sales of tax-deferred
annuity contracts and credit life and disability insurance policies on consumer
and mortgage loans. Most of the increase in the recent quarter was attributable
to increased sales of tax deferred annuity contracts. Contributing to a lesser
degree was increased sales of insurance policies to consumer loan customers.
Gain on sales of mortgage loans declined by $2.7 million from $3.5
million during the three months ended September 30, 1998, to $810,000 during the
same period in 1999. This decline was primarily attributable to a $113.7 million
or almost 70% decrease in the Corporation's mortgage loan sales. This decrease
was due to rising interest rates during most of 1999 that slowed loan
originations and sales relative to the same quarter in the previous year.
Other non-interest income decreased by $165,000 or 20.8% during the
three months ended September 30, 1999, as compared to the same period in the
previous year. This decrease was due in part to a decline in fees received on
loans originated as agent for the Wisconsin State Veteran's Administration
("State VA") and the Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority
("WHEDA"), as well as lower fee income from conversions of adjustable-rate
mortgage loans to fixed-rate loans. Both of these developments were attributable
to rising interest rates during most of 1999, as previously described. Also
contributing to the decrease in other non-interest income, however, was the fact
that 1998 included a large recovery from the federal government of an amount
that had been written-off as uncollectible in an earlier period.
Non-interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and
1998, was $26.9 million and $22.2 million, respectively. This increase was due
in part to a $5.2 million improvement in loan servicing fees from $(3.4) million
in 1998 to $1.8 million in 1999. Also contributing, however, was a $4.0 million
or approximately 37% increase in retail banking fees and a $823,000 or over 65%
increase in premiums and commissions on annuity and insurance sales. These
developments were partially offset by a $4.6 million or approximately 40%
decrease in gain on sales of loans and a $640,000 or approximately 25% decrease
in other non-interest income. The explanations for these changes are
substantially the same as those given in previous paragraphs. Also contributing
to the decrease in
19
<PAGE> 21
other non-interest income, however, was the fact that 1998 included a $390,000
state income tax refund for the Corporation's 1987-89 tax years.
NON-INTEREST EXPENSE Non-interest expense for the three months ended
September 30, 1999 and 1998, was $13.8 million and $12.0 million, respectively,
which was 2.89% and 3.00% 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 1998 to 1999.
Compensation and employee benefits increased by $1.1 million or 15.8%
during the three months ended September 30, 1999, as compared to the same period
in the previous year. In general, this increase was due to normal annual merit
increases and to general growth in the number of banking facilities operated by
the Corporation. Since December 31, 1997, the Corporation has opened or acquired
twelve retail banking facilities and one loan production office. During the
remainder of 1999, the Corporation intends to open two additional retail banking
facilities, although there can be no assurances. As of September 30, 1999, the
Corporation had 819 full-time equivalent employees. This compares to 808 and 756
as of December 31, 1998, and September 30, 1998, respectively.
Occupancy and equipment expenses increased by $165,000 or 9.3% and
communications, postage, and supplies expense increased by $132,000 or 14.6%
during the three months ended September 30, 1999, as compared to the same period
in the previous year. These increases were primarily attributable to general
growth in the number of banking facilities operated by the Corporation, as
previously described, 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 $59,000 or 9.9%
during the three months ended September 30, 1999, as compared to the same period
in the previous year. This increase corresponds to an increase in the number of
checking accounts serviced by the Corporation, as previously described, as well
as an increase the number of ATMs operated by the Corporation.
Advertising and marketing expenses increased by $81,000 or 15.9% during
the three months ended September 30, 1999, as compared to the same period in the
previous year. This increase can be attributed to general 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 serviced by the Corporation.
Also contributing was an increase in contributions to charitable organizations.
Amortization of intangible assets increased by $135,000 or over 100%
during the three months ended September 30, 1999, as compared to the same period
in the previous year. This increase was due to the Corporation's acquisition of
$76.9 million in deposit liabilities from another financial institution during
the fourth quarter of 1998. The Corporation paid a premium of $8.0 million for
the deposits and certain other assets.
Other non-interest expense increased by $156,000 or 13.6% during the
three months ended September 30, 1999, as compared to the same period in the
previous year. This increase was due primarily to increased expenditures for
outside professional services and increased costs associated with forgery,
fraud, and other irregularities in deposit customer accounts. Also contributing
was an increase in check-printing charges associated with customers' checking
accounts, although this increase was principally due to a change in accounting
for such costs. Before 1999, such costs were netted against the commission
revenue received from the Corporation's third-party check supplier.
Non-interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and
1998, was $40.4 million and $34.2 million, respectively. Non-interest expense as
a percent of average assets during these periods was 2.92% and 2.86%,
respectively. This increase was primarily the result of a $4.1 million or 21.5%
increase in compensation and employee benefits. Also contributing was a $481,000
or 9.3% increase in occupancy and equipment expense, a $438,000 or 11.9%
increase in other non-interest expense, a $404,000 or over 100% increase in
amortization of intangible assets, and a $345,000 or 13.1% increase in
communications, postage, and supplies expense. Contributing to a lesser degree
was a $278,000 or 16.2% increase in ATM and debit card expense and a $144,000 or
20
<PAGE> 22
9.2% increase in advertising and marketing expense. The explanations for these
changes are substantially the same as those given in previous paragraphs. Also
contributing to the increase in other non-interest expense, however, was the
Corporation's payment in the second quarter of $152,000 in sales and use taxes
to the State of Wisconsin for prior years, as well as increased professional
fees as a result of negotiations connected with such issue.
INCOME TAX EXPENSE Income tax expense for the three months ended
September 30, 1999 and 1998, was $2.9 million and $2.6 million, respectively, or
34.9% and 35.5% of pretax income, respectively. Income tax expense for the nine
months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, was $9.0 million and $8.4 million,
respectively, or 35.2% and 37.2% of pretax income, respectively. The
Corporation's effective tax rate declined in 1999 because a greater share of its
taxable earnings were in the State of Nevada during the 1999 periods as compared
to the same periods in 1998 (the State of Nevada currently imposes no corporate
income tax). During the second and fourth quarters of 1998 and the first and
second quarters of 1999, the Corporation substantially increased its investment
in its wholly-owned Nevada subsidiary, FCHI, which resulted in a lower effective
income tax rate for the Corporation as-a-whole.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
OVERVIEW The Corporation's total assets increased by $164.0 million or
9.2% during the nine months ended September 30, 1999. This increase was
primarily the result of a $224.5 million or 19.1% increase in loans held for
investment and a $42.7 million or 13.9% aggregate increase in mortgage-backed
and related securities. These increases were funded by a $142.7 million or
approximately 75% increase in FHLB advances and other borrowings and by the
proceeds from a $76.2 million or approximately 80% decrease in overnight
investments and a $21.3 million or approximately 30% decrease in loans held for
sale.
OVERNIGHT INVESTMENTS Interest-bearing deposits with banks, which
consist of overnight investments at the FHLB and fed funds sold, decreased by
$76.2 million from $96.5 million at December 31, 1998, to $20.4 million at
September 30, 1999. The large amount of overnight investments at December 31,
1998, was caused by the temporary investment of proceeds from loan sales. In
general, these proceeds were reinvested in loans held for investment and
mortgage-backed and related securities during the nine months ended September
30, 1999.
MORTGAGE-BACKED AND RELATED SECURITIES The Corporation's aggregate
investment in its mortgage-backed and related securities portfolios increased by
$42.7 million or 13.9% during the nine months ended September 30, 1999. This
increase was the result of the Corporation's purchase of $161.0 million in
collateralized mortgage obligations during the period. This development was
offset in part by the repayment of $113.7 million in mortgage-backed and related
securities.
LOANS HELD FOR SALE The Corporation's loans held for sale decreased by
$21.3 million or approximately 30% during the nine months ended September 30,
1999. This decrease was caused by a higher interest rate environment during the
first nine months of 1999, which slowed consumer demand for fixed-rate mortgage
loans and reduced the number of conversions by borrowers of adjustable-rate
loans into fixed-rate loans. Both of these categories of loans are classified as
"held for sale" until the date of sale, which typically occurs within 30 to 60
days of origination and/or conversion.
LOANS HELD FOR INVESTMENT The Corporation's loans held for investment
increased by $224.5 million or 19.1% during the nine months ended September 30,
1999. During this period, the Corporation originated $207.4 million and
purchased $87.7 million in adjustable-rate single-family mortgage loans,
originated $142.6 million in consumer loans (consisting mostly of second
mortgages), originated $93.0 million in commercial real estate loans, and
originated $23.7 million in education loans. During the same period, the
Corporation experienced a substantial decline in loan prepayment and refinance
activity, due to a rising interest rate environment, as previously described. As
a result of these factors--strong origination volumes and reduced prepayment and
refinance activity--the Corporation has experienced significant growth in its
loans held for investment in recent months.
As noted in the previous paragraph, during the nine months ended
September 30, 1999, the Corporation purchased $87.7 million in adjustable-rate
single-family mortgage loans that were originated by a third-party financial
institution. These loans were purchased to maintain growth in the Corporation's
level of earning assets in
21
<PAGE> 23
early 1999. A flat yield curve environment during most of 1998 and early 1999
had a significant impact on the ability of the Corporation to maintain its
internally-originated portfolio of loans held for investment. Such environment
increased customer preference for fixed-rate mortgage loans, as opposed to
adjustable-rate loans. In addition, such environment encouraged borrowers to
refinance their existing adjustable-rate mortgage 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 single-family loans declined substantially.
Although some of this decline was offset by internal growth in commercial real
estate, consumer, and education loans, as previously described, the Corporation
elected to purchase adjustable-rate mortgage loans from a third-party financial
institution in an effort to maintain growth in its earning assets. These loans
were subjected to substantially the same underwriting process as the
Corporation's own loans. The loans are located throughout the U.S., with no
single state making up a significant portion of the overall principal. The loans
have adjustable-rates that reset annually at an average margin of approximately
250 basis points above the one-year U.S. Treasury bill. Most of the loans have
fixed interest rates for terms of three to seven years before their first
adjustment date. The loans have been purchased by FCHI, the Corporation's
wholly-owned investment subsidiary in Nevada.
DEPOSIT LIABILITIES The Corporation's deposit liabilities increased by
$6.4 million or less than 1% during the nine months ended September 30, 1999.
Growth in the Corporation's deposit liabilities has slowed in 1999 as a result
of a decline in the rates offered by the Corporation on virtually all of its
deposit products, as previously described.
FHLB ADVANCES AND OTHER BORROWINGS The Corporation's FHLB advances and
other borrowings increased by $142.7 million or approximately 75% during the
nine months ended September 30, 1999. Additional advances were drawn during the
period to fund growth in the Corporation's loans held for investment and
mortgage-backed and related securities, 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 $2.0 million or
0.10% of total assets at September 30, 1999, compared to $2.4 million or 0.13%
of total assets at December 31, 1998. The Corporation's allowance for loan and
real estate losses was 401% and 330% of non-performing assets as of the same
dates, respectively.
In addition to non-performing assets, at September 30, 1999, management
was closely monitoring $6.5 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 $6.4 million in such assets at
December 31, 1998.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Bank is required under applicable federal regulations to maintain
specified levels of qualifying types of U.S. government, federal agency, and
other mortgage-related and investment securities of not less than 4% of net
withdrawable accounts and short-term borrowings. The Bank was in full compliance
with these regulations during the nine months ended September 30, 1999.
The Corporation's stockholder's equity ratio as of September 30, 1999,
was 6.74% of total assets. The Corporation's objective is to maintain its
stockholders' equity ratio in a range of approximately 6.5% to 7.0%, which is
consistent with return on asset and return on equity goals of at least 1% and
15%, respectively. 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 September 30, 1999, the Bank's regulatory capital
exceeded all regulatory minimum requirements as well as the minimum amount
required to be classified as a "well capitalized" institution.
The Corporation paid cash dividends of $4.6 million and $3.7 million
during the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. These
amounts equated to dividend payout ratios of 27.7% and 25.9% of the net income
in such periods, respectively. It is the Corporation's objective to maintain its
dividend payout ratio
22
<PAGE> 24
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 October 26, 1999, the Corporation's Board of Directors declared a
regular quarterly dividend of $0.09 per share payable on December 9, 1999, to
shareholders of record on November 18, 1999.
During the nine months ended September 30, 1999, the Corporation
repurchased 519,152 shares of common stock at a cost of $8.0 million under its
1997 stock repurchase plan (the "1997 Plan"). On April 20, 1999, the
Corporation's Board of Directors approved a new plan to repurchase up to 905,248
of the Corporation's outstanding common stock (the "1999 Plan"). The shares may
be repurchased form time to time in open-market transactions during the next
twelve months 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 nine months ended September 30, 1999, the Corporation
reissued 1,065,107 shares of common stock out of its inventory of treasury stock
with a cost basis of $13.8 million. In general, these shares were issued upon
the exercise of stock options by employees and directors of the Corporation.
YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE
Potential software and hardware failures arising from calculations that
use the year 2000 represent a significant risk exposure to the Corporation. If
not corrected, software and hardware failures caused by the year 2000 could
result in a major system failure and/or miscalculations, which could result in a
material loss to the Corporation. Accordingly, in 1998 management implemented a
program designed to ensure that the Corporation's information systems will not
be adversely impacted by the year 2000.
The Corporation's program to resolve the year 2000 issue consisted of
four phases: assessment, remediation, testing, and implementation. The
Corporation completed the assessment phase in 1998 and found that the year 2000
issue affected all of its significant information systems. As of September 30,
1999, the Corporation had also completed the remaining three phases of the
program. These efforts included systems purchased from and maintained by
third-party software and hardware vendors. Although management does not believe
that the arrival of the year 2000 will pose significant operational problems to
the Corporation, there can be no assurances that it will be successful in
preventing failures caused by this issue. There can also be no assurances that
such failures will not result in a material loss to the Corporation. Such losses
may include loss of customer goodwill, waivers of customer transaction fees and
interest, errors in honoring obligations of third parties, fraudulent
transactions, or other sources of loss not know at this time. The Corporation is
unable to estimate the probability or the amount of future loss at this time, if
any.
The Corporation's information systems interface directly with those of
certain third-party transaction processors, to include the Federal Reserve Bank
of Minneapolis. With respect to the year 2000 issue, the Corporation's
information systems are highly dependent on the state of readiness of these
third-party transaction processors, as well as the communication systems over
which the data is exchanged. As of September 30, 1999, the Corporation has
completed the testing and implementation phases that relate to interface
programs with third-party transaction processors. The Corporation is unable,
however, to provide any assurances with respect to year 2000 readiness on the
part of public providers of communication services and other utilities.
The Corporation has developed contingency plans to deal with
communication and other utility failures that may occur as a result of the year
2000 issue. It has also developed plans to temporarily accumulate data related
to customer transactions should its own information systems or those of third
parties fail. A portion of such contingency plans includes the manual processing
of certain types of customer transactions. In addition, it includes plans to
temporarily honor certain obligations of reputable third parties, such as
recurring deposits from the federal government, that could be disrupted by the
year 2000 and which could have a significant impact on the
23
<PAGE> 25
Corporation's customers if not honored. However, there can be no assurances that
the Corporation will honor the obligations of third parties. The Corporation's
current contingency plans were approved by its Board of Directors on March 23,
1999.
The Corporation used in-house personnel to identify and correct year
2000 issues. As of September 30, 1999, the Corporation estimates that it spent
approximately $377,000 in direct, incremental costs related to the year 2000
issue. This amount includes additional compensation costs to retain essential
personnel, hire additional personnel, and purchase new software--it does not
include opportunity costs. The Corporation is unable to estimate additional
future costs of the year 2000 issue at this time, but does not believe such will
be material to its financial condition or results of operations.
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") 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
"funding gaps"). Management has sought to control the Corporation's funding
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 and education loans, which
generally have shorter terms to maturity and/or floating rates of interest, and
investing in multi-family residential and 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 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 funding gap in a range between 0% and -25% and its three-year funding
gap in a range between +5% and -5%. 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
funding 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.
As of September 30, 1999, the Corporation was in compliance with its
internal 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, 1998.
