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 month period
ended March 31, 2000, may not necessarily be indicative of the results that may
be expected for the entire year ending December 31, 2000.
Certain 1999 balances have been reclassified to conform to the 2000
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 the period. Diluted
earnings per share are 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 month periods ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, is as follows:

</TABLE>
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 Corporation has five operating
divisions: (i) residential lending, (ii) commercial real estate lending, (iii)
retail banking, (iv) finance and administration, and (v) human resources. Each
6
<PAGE> 8
division is headed by an executive officer that reports directly to the
president of the Corporation. The first three divisions contain all but one of
the Corporation's profit centers for segment reporting purposes. The remaining
two divisions are considered support departments for segment reporting purposes,
although the finance and administration division also provides the primary
support for the Corporation's remaining profit center--the investment and
mortgage-related securities portfolio.
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). Commercial real estate lending
is a single profit center for segment reporting purposes. It 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. Retail
banking 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. The Corporation's retail branch network, which delivers
checking, savings, certificates of deposit and other financial products and
services to customers, is also part of retail banking, but is considered a
support department for segment reporting purposes. The net costs of this network
are referred to as "net costs to acquire and maintain deposit liabilities" and
are allocated proportionately to each segment according its use of deposit
liabilities as a funding source. This cost is reported as an adjustment of each
segment's net interest income. Finally, the Corporation's investment and
mortgage-related securities portfolio is considered a profit center for segment
reporting purposes. Personnel in finance and administration support this profit
center, as previously described.
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, FHLB advances, other 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.
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 month periods ended March 31,
2000 and 1999. 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 retail branch network, as previously described. The
net cost to acquire and maintain deposit liabilities was 1.20% and 1.31% of
average deposit liabilities outstanding during the three months ended March 31,
2000 and 1999, respectively.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW The Corporation's net income for the three months ended March
31, 2000, was $5.3 million or $0.29 per diluted share compared to $5.0 million
and $0.26 in the same period last year. These amounts represented a return on
average assets of 1.00% and 1.12%, respectively, and a return on average equity
of 16.07% and 16.62%, respectively.
The increase in net income from 1999 to 2000 was primarily attributable
to a $2.5 million increase in net interest income, a $1.0 million improvement in
loan servicing fees, and a $899,000 increase in retail banking fees. These
developments were offset in part by a $3.3 million decline in gain on sales of
loans, as well as a $493,000 increase in total non-interest expense. Most
notable was an $803,000 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
month periods ended March 31, 2000 and 1999.
NET INTEREST INCOME Net interest income increased by $2.5 million or
approximately 20% during the three months ended March 31, 2000, as compared to
the same period in the previous year. Net interest income was favorably impacted
by a $294.6 million or 17.5% increase in the Corporation's average
interest-earning assets between these periods. The principal source of this
growth was in the Corporation's single-family mortgage loan portfolio.
Contributing to a lesser extent were increases in the commercial real estate and
consumer loan portfolios. This growth was largely funded by increases in FHLB
advances and securities sold under agreements to repurchase. Contributing to a
lesser degree was an increase in deposit liabilities. Refer to "Financial
Condition" for additional discussion.
The Corporation's interest rate spread increased from 2.46% during the
three months ended March 31, 1999, to 2.55% during the same period in 2000.
Since early 1999, market rates of interest have risen substantially, which has
resulted in a 17 basis point increase in the average yield on the Corporation's
earning assets. In contrast, the Corporation's average cost of liabilities
increased by only eight basis points during the same period. The increase in the
Corporation's cost of liabilities was tempered by the fact that the cost of its
primary funding source, interest-bearing deposit liabilities, actually decreased
by 15 basis points--despite the increase in market interest rates during this
time frame. Management attributes this development to the fact that during the
first half of 1999, a significant portion of the Corporation's certificates of
deposits matured and were replaced by certificates carrying a lower rate of
interest. In general, these certificates had maturities that exceeded twelve
months. Consequently, they remained outstanding throughout the first quarter of
2000. In addition, during the first half of 1999, the Corporation lowered the
rates it pays on its interest-bearing demand accounts. Because of these actions,
the Corporation's average cost of interest-bearing deposits declined from 4.82%
in the first quarter of 1999 to 4.67% in the most recent period. Competitive
pressures in recent months, however, have compelled the Corporation to increase
the rates it offers on its certificates of deposit and most of its other account
types. Accordingly, management expects the
8
<PAGE> 10
Corporation's average cost of interest-bearing deposits to increase in the
immediate future and its interest rate spread to decrease. Indeed, the
Corporation's interest rate spread decreased by nine basis points in the most
recent quarter compared to the fourth quarter of 1999. Management also expects
short-term market rates to continue to increase in the near future. This is
expected to have additional adverse effects on the Corporation's cost of
interest-bearing deposits, as well as its cost of borrowings from the FHLB and
other sources.
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 month periods ended March
31, 2000 and 1999.

PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES In general, provisions for loan losses
recorded during the three month periods ended March 31, 2000 and 1999,
approximated the Corporation's actual net charge-off activity during such
periods. On an annualized basis, net charge-offs were 0.03% and 0.04% of average
loans outstanding during these periods, respectively. Management of the
Corporation expects the provision for the remainder of 2000 to be modest and to
approximate actual charge-off activity, although there can be no assurances.
As of March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999, the Corporation's allowance
for loan losses was $7.7 million and $7.6 million, respectively, or 0.47% and
0.50% 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
9
<PAGE> 11
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
March 31, 2000 and 1999, was $7.5 million and $9.1 million, respectively. The
following paragraphs discuss the principal components of non-interest income and
the primary reasons for their changes from 1999 to 2000.
Retail banking fees and service charges increased by $899,000 or
approximately 22% during the three months ended March 31, 2000, as compared to
the same period in the previous year. A large portion of this improvement was
the result of an increase in the per-item charge for overdrafts on checking
accounts that was instituted in the second quarter of 1999. Also contributing
was 11.9% in growth in the number of checking accounts serviced by the
Corporation since December 31, 1998.
Loan servicing fees improved by $1.0 million from a small loss during
the three months ended March 31, 1999. The improvement over last year was the
result of a higher interest rate environment, which reduced the impact of loan
prepayments on the Corporation's mortgage servicing rights. During the first
quarter of 1999, the Corporation recorded $1.0 million in losses on its mortgage
servicing rights over-and-above that which management considered to be normal
periodic amortization. This compared to no such losses in the most recent
quarter.
Excluding the effects of the aforementioned loss, but net of normal
periodic amortization of mortgage servicing rights, loan servicing fees
increased by $5,000 or 0.5% during the three months ended March 31, 2000,
compared to the same period in the previous year. The modest nature of this
improvement was also attributable to higher interest rates, which has resulted
in significantly fewer originations of fixed-rate residential mortgage loans in
recent periods. The Corporation generally sells such loans in the secondary
market, but retains the servicing. Accordingly, growth in loans serviced for
others has been modest in recent periods.
Premiums and commissions on annuity and insurance sales declined by
$65,000 or 8.5% during the three months ended March 31, 2000, as compared to the
same period in the previous year. The Corporation's current sources of premium
and commission revenues are primarily from sales of tax-deferred annuity
contracts, life and disability insurance policies on consumer loans, and
mortgage insurance policies on residential loans. The decline in premiums and
commissions was primarily the result of a $120,000 or approximately 20% decrease
in sales of tax-deferred annuities. This development was partially offset by a
$58,000 or approximately 47% increase in premiums and commissions from sales of
life and disability insurance on consumer loans.
Gain on sales of mortgage loans declined by $3.3 million from $3.6
million during the three months ended March 31, 1999, to $290,000 during the
same period in 2000. This decline was primarily attributable to a $149.9 million
or almost 90% decrease in the Corporation's mortgage loan sales. This decrease
was caused by rising interest rates during most of 1999 and early 2000 that
significantly reduced the Corporation's fixed-rate residential mortgage loan
originations.
Other non-interest income decreased by $ 68,000 or 12.0% during the
three months ended March 31, 2000, as compared to the same period in the
previous year. This decrease was due in part to the fact that last year included
a large fee from the Corporation's origination of a commercial real estate loan
for another financial institution.
NON-INTEREST EXPENSE Non-interest expense for the three months ended
March 31, 2000 and 1999, was $13.9 million and $13.4 million, respectively,
which was 2.66% 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 1999 to 2000.
Compensation and employee benefits increased by $803,000 or 10.6%
during the three months ended March 31, 2000, 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, 1998, the Corporation has opened three
retail banking facilities. During the remainder of 2000, the
10
<PAGE> 12
Corporation intends to open five or more retail banking facilities, although
there can be no assurances. As of March 31, 2000, the Corporation had 819
full-time equivalent employees. This compares to 831 and 798 as of December 31,
1999, and March 31, 1999, respectively. The number is down slightly from
December 31, 1999, because of normal employee turnover during the first quarter.
Occupancy and equipment expenses decreased by $71,000 or 3.6% during
the three months ended March 31, 2000, as compared to the same period in the
previous year. This decrease was due in part to a gain on the sale of a
warehouse that the Corporation formerly used to store office equipment and
supplies.
ATM and debit card transaction costs increased by $72,000 or 11.4%
during the three months ended March 31, 2000, 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 in the number of ATMs operated by the Corporation.
Other non-interest expense decreased by $366,000 or approximately 25%
during the three months ended March 31, 2000, as compared to the same period in
the previous year. This decrease was due primarily to lower costs associated
with the servicing of loans for the Federal National Mortgage Association
("FNMA"). Under the terms of its servicing agreement with FNMA, the Corporation
is required to forward a full month's interest when certain loans payoff early,
regardless of the actual date the loan payoffs. A higher interest rate
environment and lower prepayment activity since the first quarter of 1999 has
resulted in lower payments of such amounts to FNMA. Also contributing to the
decline in other non-interest expense in the most recent period, however, was a
$119,000 or over 60% decline in deposit insurance premiums paid to the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"). This decline was caused by a decrease in
the amount thrift institutions are charged for their share of the bond
obligation of a government agency known as the Finance Corporation ("FICO").
INCOME TAX EXPENSE Income tax expense for the three months ended March
31, 2000 and 1999, was $2.9 million and $2.7 million, respectively, or 35.5% and
35.0% of pretax income, respectively.
SEGMENT INFORMATION The following paragraphs contain a discussion of
the financial performance of each the Corporation's reportable segments
(hereafter referred to as "profit centers") for the three month periods ended
March 31, 2000 and 1999. 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 declined by $302,000 or almost 50% during the three months
ended March 31, 2000, as compared to the same period in the previous year. Loan
origination volumes and mortgage servicing fees are the principal drivers of
performance in this profit center. A higher interest rate environment in the
most recent period resulted in a significant decrease in originations of
single-family residential loans. In the first quarter of 2000, the Corporation's
mortgage banking operation originated $85.5 million in single-family residential
loans compared to $176.8 million in the first quarter of 1999. The unfavorable
impact of reduced originations was offset somewhat by increased earnings from
mortgage servicing, as previously described in "Results of
Operations--Non-Interest Income".
RESIDENTIAL LOANS Profits from the Corporation's residential
loan portfolio increased by $719,000 or almost 70% during the three months ended
March 31, 2000, as compared to the same period in the previous year. In 2000,
the performance of this profit center was favorably impacted by a significant
increase in average assets, which was chiefly the result of a higher interest
rate environment. Such environments tend to increase customer preference for
adjustable-rate mortgage loans, which the Corporation generally retains in its
portfolio. In addition, higher interest rate environments tend to discourage
loan prepayment activity on the part of existing borrowers.
COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE LENDING Profits from commercial real
estate lending increased by $201,000 or 19.0% during the three months ended
March 31, 2000, as compared to the same period in the previous year. In 2000,
commercial real estate lending benefited from a $73.9 million or 21.0% increase
in average assets as compared to the first three months of 1999.
11
<PAGE> 13
CONSUMER LENDING Profits from consumer lending increased by
$264,000 or approximately 43% during the three months ended March 31, 2000, as
compared to the same period in the previous year. This increase was principally
the result of a $52.5 million or approximately 22% increase in the average
assets associated with this profit center. Also contributing, however, was an
improvement in the profit center's net interest margin (including the favorable
effect of a lower net cost to acquire and maintain deposit liabilities, as
described more fully in a later paragraph). This profit center is funded almost
entirely by deposit liabilities. As noted in a previous paragraph, the
Corporation's average cost of interest-bearing deposit liabilities declined by
15 basis points in the most recent quarter as compared to the same quarter in
1999. Also contributing to the improvement in the net interest margin of this
profit center was a five basis point increase in the gross yield earned on
consumer loans. Management attributes this increase to a higher interest rate
environment.
EDUCATION LENDING Profits from education lending increased by
$210,000 or approximately 36% during the three months ended March 31, 2000, as
compared to the same period in the previous year. In 2000, education lending
benefited from a higher interest rate environment, which increased the gross
yield on such loans by 50 basis points compared to the first quarter of 1999. In
addition, the net interest margin of this profit center was helped by a 15 basis
point decline in the Corporation's average cost of interest-bearing deposit, as
well as a lower net cost to acquire and maintain deposit liabilities, as
described more fully in a later paragraph. Finally, average assets associated
with education lending increased by $12.5 million or 6.4% during the three
months ended March 31, 2000, as compared to the first three months of 1999.
INVESTMENT AND MORTGAGE-RELATED SECURITIES Profits from the
Corporation's investment securities portfolio increased by $266,000 or
approximately 35% during the three months ended March 31, 2000, as compared to
the same period in the previous year. This improvement occurred despite a $52.5
million or 11.6% decline in the average assets of this profit center. The
principal reason for this improvement was a substantially lower level of
overnight investments in the most recent period as compared to the same period
in the previous year. Yields on overnight investments are typically lower than
that earned on longer-term investments. In addition, such yields are often less
than the average cost of the funding sources allocated to the profit center. The
Corporation's holdings of overnight investments were higher in the first quarter
of 1999 because of the temporary investment of proceeds from loan sales.
OTHER SEGMENTS Other segments consist primarily of the
Corporation's holding company, as well as two of the Bank's wholly-owned
subsidiaries. The increased loss from this segment was principally the result of
increased interest expense in the holding company. This increase was the result
of a higher level of borrowings, the proceeds of which were largely used to
repurchase the Corporation's stock.
NON-GAAP ADJUSTMENTS Non-GAAP adjustments were $(631,000) in
the first quarter of 2000 compared to $409,000 in the first quarter of 1999.
This change was principally caused by the fact that the mortgage banking profit
center originated more loans for the Bank's residential lending profit center in
the most recent quarter than it did in the same quarter last year. In general,
this resulted in a larger internal adjustment to compensate the mortgage banking
profit center for its efforts related to these originations. In addition, in the
first quarter of 1999 the mortgage banking profit center experienced a higher
level of internal charge-offs related to its mortgage servicing operations due
to the lower interest rate environment.
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 net cost to acquire and maintain deposit
liabilities during the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, was 1.20% and
1.31% of average deposit liabilities outstanding, respectively. The decline in
net cost to acquire and maintain deposit liabilities in the most recent period
was principally due to an increase in the per-item charge for overdrafts on
checking accounts that was instituted in the second quarter of 1999, as
previously described.
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, the decline in the net
12
<PAGE> 14
cost to acquire and maintain deposit liabilities benefited most of the
Corporation's profit centers. For some of the Corporation's profit centers, this
improvement was offset in whole or in part by a decline in the gross yield on
the profit center's assets and/or an increase in its average cost of funding.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
OVERVIEW The Corporation's total assets increased by $54.5 million or
2.6% during the three months ended March 31, 2000. This increase was the result
of a $103.4 million or 6.7% increase in loans held for investment that was
funded in part by a $43.8 million or 3.0% increase in deposit liabilities. Also
funding growth in the loan portfolio was a $23.9 million or approximately 36%
decrease in cash and due from banks and a $20.3 million or 5.7% aggregate
decrease in mortgage-backed and related securities. The Corporation's cash
holdings were abnormally high at the end of 1999 as a precautionary measure
related to the year 2000 change-over. Such cash holdings proved unnecessary,
however, and were returned to the Federal Reserve System in January 2000.
MORTGAGE-BACKED AND RELATED SECURITIES The Corporation's aggregate
investment in its mortgage-backed and related securities portfolios declined by
$20.3 million or 5.7% during the three months ended March 31, 2000. This decline
was the result of normal periodic amortization of the mortgage loans that
support these types of securities. The proceeds from such amortization were
generally reinvested in the Corporation's portfolio of loans held for
investment, as previously described.
LOANS HELD FOR INVESTMENT The Corporation's portfolio of loans held for
investment increased by $103.4 million or 6.7% during the three months ended
March 31, 2000. During this period, the Corporation originated $63.4 million and
purchased $13.1 million in adjustable-rate single-family mortgage loans,
originated $49.0 million in consumer loans (consisting mostly of second
mortgages), originated $35.0 million in commercial real estate loans, and
originated $15.3 million in education loans. During the same period, the
Corporation experienced very little loan prepayment and refinance activity, due
to higher interest rates, as previously described. As a result of these factors,
the Corporation has experienced strong growth in its loans held for investment
in recent periods.
DEPOSIT LIABILITIES The Corporation's deposit liabilities increased by
$43.8 million or 3.0% during the three months ended March 31, 2000. Management
attributes this growth to higher short-term rates and recent volatility in other
financial markets, which has made traditional bank financial offerings more
attractive to consumers. Furthermore, in recent months the Corporation has
increased the rates it offers on its certificates of deposits and certain other
account types relative to that of its competitors.
FHLB ADVANCES AND SECURITIES SOLD UNDER AGREEMENTS TO REPURCHASE The
Corporation's FHLB advances declined by $72.0 million or 16.2% during the three
months ended March 31, 2000. These borrowings were replaced by $75.0 million in
borrowings under reverse-repurchase agreements, more formally known as
"securities sold under agreements to repurchase".
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 $2.4 million or
0.11% of total assets at March 31, 2000, compared to $2.1 million or 0.10% of
total assets at December 31, 1999. The Corporation's allowance for loan and real
estate losses was 333% and 365% of non-performing assets as of the same dates,
respectively.
In addition to non-performing assets, at March 31, 2000, management was
closely monitoring $3.5 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 $3.3 million in such assets at December 31, 1999.
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
13
<PAGE> 15
withdrawable accounts and short-term borrowings. The Bank was in full compliance
with these regulations during the three months ended March 31, 2000.
The Corporation's stockholders' equity ratio as of March 31, 2000, was
6.04% of total assets. The Corporation's long-term 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 1.1% and
16.5%, respectively. The Corporation is below its target range as of March 31,
2000, primarily as a result of stock repurchases during the fourth quarter of
1999 and, to a lesser extent, the first quarter of 2000. The Corporation expects
its equity ratio to return to its target range during the next 12 to 24 months,
although there can be no assurances.
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 March 31, 2000, 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 $1.7 million and $1.3 million
during the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. These
amounts equated to dividend payout ratios of 31.4% and 25.3% 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 April 18, 2000, the Corporation's Board of Directors declared a
regular quarterly dividend of $0.11 per share payable on June 1, 2000, to
shareholders of record on May 11, 2000.
During the three months ended March 31, 2000, the Corporation
repurchased 143,904 shares of common stock at a cost of $1.7 million under its
1999 stock repurchase plan (the "1999 Plan"). As of March 31, 2000, 219,510
shares remain to be purchased under the 1999 Plan. On April 18, 2000, the
Corporation's Board of Directors extended the 1999 Plan for another twelve
months and approved a new plan to repurchase up to 913,554 shares of the
Corporation's outstanding common stock (the "2000 Plan"). The shares may be
repurchased from 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 three months ended March 31, 2000, the Corporation reissued
11,600 shares of common stock out of its inventory of treasury stock with a cost
basis of $161,000. In general, these shares were issued upon the exercise of
stock options by employees and directors of the Corporation.
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
"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 and education 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 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, FHLB
14
<PAGE> 16
advances, and other borrowing sources that tend to have 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 Bank 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 Bank's NPV under specified interest rate scenarios such that the
Bank will continue to be classified by the OTS as an institution with minimal
exposure to interest rate risk.
As of March 31, 2000, 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, 1999.
