SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The consolidated condensed financial statements for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 are unaudited. In the opinion of the management of North Central Bancshares, Inc. (the "Company" or the "Registrant") 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 which may be expected for an entire year. Certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in complete financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted in accordance with the requirements for interim financial statements. The financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Company's 1998 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The consolidated condensed financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (See Note 2). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. 2. REORGANIZATION The Company was organized on December 5, 1995 at the direction of the Board of Directors of First Federal Savings Bank of Iowa, formerly known as First Federal Savings Bank of Fort Dodge, (the "Bank") for the purpose of acquiring all of the capital stock of the Bank, in connection with the conversion of the Bank and North Central Bancshares, M.H.C. (the "Mutual Holding Company" or "MHC") from the mutual to the stock holding company structure (these transactions are collectively referred to as the "Reorganization"). On March 20, 1996, upon completion of the Reorganization, the Company issued an aggregate of 4,011,057 shares of its common stock, 1,385,590 shares of which were issued in exchange for all of the Bank's issued and outstanding shares, except for shares owned by the MHC which were canceled, and 2,625,467 shares of which were sold in Subscription and Community Offerings (the "Offering") at a price of $10.00 per share, with gross proceeds amounting to $26.3 million. In addition, the Company replaced the Bank as the issuer listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market. At this time, the Company conducts business as a unitary savings and loan holding company and the principal business of the Company consists of the operation of its wholly owned subsidiary, the Bank. 3. ACQUISITION OF VALLEY FINANCIAL CORP. As of the close of business on January 30, 1998, the Bank completed the acquisition of Valley Financial Corp. ("Valley Financial") (the "Acquisition") pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of September 18, 1997 (the "Merger Agreement"). The Acquisition resulted in the merger of Valley Financial's wholly owned subsidiary, Valley Savings Bank, FSB ("Valley Savings"), with and into the Bank, with the Bank as the resulting financial institution. Valley Savings, headquartered in Burlington, Iowa, was a federally- chartered stock savings bank with three branch offices located in southeastern Iowa. The former offices of Valley Savings are being operated as a division of the Bank. In connection with the Acquisition, each share of Valley Financial's common stock, par value $1.00 per share, issued and outstanding (other than shares held as treasury stock of Valley Financial) was canceled and converted automatically into the right to receive $525 per share in cash pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement. As a result of the Acquisition, shareholders of Valley Financial were paid a total of $14.7 million in cash. The Acquisition was accounted for as a purchase transaction, resulting in goodwill of $6.6 million. The operating results of the former offices of Valley Savings are included in the 1998 operating results of the Company only from the date of acquisition through June 30, 1998. -5- NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)(Continued) 4. EARNINGS PER SHARE The earnings per share amounts were computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the periods presented. In accordance with Statement of Position No. 93-6, Employers' Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans, issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, shares owned by the Bank's Employee Stock Ownership Plan that have not been committed to be released are not considered to be outstanding for the purpose of computing earnings per share. For the three month period ended June 30, 1999, the weighted average number of shares outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per share computation were 2,728,666 and 2,791,482, respectively. For the six month period ended June 30, 1999, the weighted average number of shares outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per share computation were 2,788,780 and 2,848,838, respectively. For the three month period ended June 30, 1998, the weighted average number of shares outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per share computation were 3,140,815 and 3,233,867, respectively. For the six month period ended June 30, 1998, the weighted average number of shares outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per share computation were 3,122,934 and 3,225,206, respectively. 5. DIVIDENDS On May 21, 1999, the Company declared a cash dividend on its common stock, payable on July 6, 1999 to stockholders of record as of June 16, 1999, equal to $0.10 per share. 6. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME Comprehensive income for the three months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 was $512,458 and $1,115,926, respectively. Comprehensive income for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 was $1,390,128 and $2,082,420, respectively. -6- ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS EXPLANATORY NOTE This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements consisting of estimates with respect to the financial condition, results of operations and business of the Company that are subject to various factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from these estimates. These factors include changes in general, economic, market, legislative and regulatory conditions, and the development of an interest rate environment that adversely affects the interest rate spread or other income anticipated from the Company's operations and investments. The Company's actual results may differ from the results discussed in the forward looking statements. ACQUISITION OF VALLEY FINANCIAL CORP. On September 18, 1997, the Company announced the execution of a definitive agreement to acquire Valley Financial, a privately held Iowa corporation and parent company of Valley Savings, Burlington, Iowa. As of the close of business on January 30, 1998, the Bank completed the Acquisition. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Bank was acquired in a cash transaction totalling $14.7 million, or $525 per share, of all 28,050 shares outstanding of Valley Financial's common stock. Valley Savings was a federally-chartered savings bank, with two offices in Burlington, Iowa and one office in Mount Pleasant, Iowa. At January 30, 1998, just prior to the merger, Valley Financial had assets of $108.0 million, loans of $57.9 million and deposits of $98.9 million. The acquisition of Valley Financial resulted in the merger of Valley Financial's wholly-owned subsidiary, Valley Savings, with and into the Bank, with the three Valley Savings branches continuing to operate as Valley Savings Bank, a division of First Federal Savings Bank of Iowa. The transaction was accounted for as a purchase, resulting in goodwill of $6.6 million, and closed on January 30, 1998. Consequently, the operating results of the former Valley Savings are included in the 1998 operating results of the Company only from the date of acquisition through June 30, 1998. FINANCIAL CONDITION Total assets increased $6.9 million, or 2.1%, to $343.6 million at June 30, 1999 compared to $336.7 million at December 31, 1998. Interest bearing cash decreased $5.2 million, or 39.8%, due to the use of cash to fund growth in other areas of the balance sheet. Securities available for sale increased $1.1 million, or 2.2%, primarily due to $13.7 million of purchases, partially offset by $11.3 million of maturities, sales and calls. Total loans receivable, net, increased by $10.4 million from December 31, 1998, due to originations of $20.5 million of first mortgage loans secured primarily by one-to-four family residences, purchases of $19.0 million of first mortgage loans secured by multi-family residences and commercial real estate and originations of $8.5 million of second mortgage loans. These increases were offset in part by payments and prepayments of loans (of approximately $40.5 million) and loan sales of $425,000. Deposits increased $10.1 million, or 4.1%, to $256.7 million at June 30, 1999 from $246.7 million at December 31, 1998, reflecting increases primarily in certificate of deposit accounts. This increase was due in part to the deposit of certain public funds and the marketing of retail certificate of deposits during the six months ended June 30, 1999. Other borrowings, primarily Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") advances, increased by $1.4 million to $40.3 million at June 30, 1999 from $38.8 million at December 31, 1998, due to borrowings on the Bank's FHLB open line of credit, offset in part by the maturities of certain FHLB advances. Total stockholders' equity decreased $4.5 million, to $43.7 million at June 30, 1999 from $48.2 million at December 31, 1998. See "Capital." -7- CAPITAL The Company's total stockholders' equity decreased by $4.5 million to $43.7 million at June 30, 1999 from $48.2 million at December 31, 1998, primarily due to stock repurchases and dividends declared, which were offset in part by earnings. The changes in stockholders' equity were also due to an decrease in the unrealized (gain) loss on securities available for sale by $721,000 to $363,000 at June 30, 1999 from $(359,000) at December 31, 1998. The unearned shares from the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the "ESOP") decreased by $95,000 to $918,000 at June 30, 1999 from $1,013,000 at December 31, 1998, due to the release of shares by the ESOP to employees of the Bank. The Office of Thrift Supervision (the "OTS") requires that the Bank meet minimum tangible, leverage (core) and risk-based capital requirements. As of June 30, 1999, the Bank exceeded all of its regulatory capital requirements. The Bank's required, actual and excess capital levels as of June 30, 1999 are as follows:
Amount Percentage of Assets -------- --------------------- (dollars in thousands) Tangible capital: Capital level $30,557 9.11% Less Requirement 5,034 1.50% ------- ----- Excess $25,523 7.61% ======= ===== Core capital: Capital level $30,557 9.11% Less Requirement 13,424 4.00% ------- ----- Excess $17,133 5.11% ======= ===== Risk-based capital: Capital level $32,926 18.10% Less Requirement 14,557 8.00% ------- ----- Excess $18,369 10.10% ======= =====
LIQUIDITY The Company's primary sources of funds are cash provided by operating activities (including net income), certain financing activities (including increases in deposits and proceeds from borrowings) and certain investing activities (including principal payments on loans and maturities and calls of securities). During the first six months of 1999 and 1998, principal payments and repayments on loans totalled $40.5 million and $33.6 million, respectively. The increase in loan payments and repayments is due primarily to the current low interest rate environment. The net increase in deposits during the first six months of 1999 and 1998 totalled $10.1 million and $6.0 million, respectively. The proceeds from borrowed funds during the first six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 totalled $1.0 million and $10.0 million, respectively. During the first six months of 1999 and 1998, the proceeds from the maturities, calls and sales of securities totalled $11.3 million and $17.3 million, respectively. The decrease in proceeds from securities is due in part to the proceeds from the sales of certain investments in 1998 of $3,357,000 compared to proceeds of $146,000 in 1999. Cash provided from operating activities during the first six months of 1999 and 1998 totalled $2.8 million and $3.7 million, respectively, of which $2.1 million and $2.2 million, respectively, represented net income of the Company. The Company's primary use of funds is cash used to originate and purchase loans, purchase of securities available for sale, repayment of borrowed funds and other financing activities. During the first six months of 1999 and 1998, the Company's gross purchases and origination of loans totalled $52.5 million and $37.6 million, respectively. The increase in purchase and origination of loans is due in part to the current low interest rate environment. The purchase of securities available for sale for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 totalled $13.7 million and $9.5 million, respectively. The repayment of borrowed funds during the first six months of 1999 and 1998 totalled $3.1 million and $6.3 million, respectively. For additional information about cash flows from the Company's operating, financing and investing activities, see "Statements of Cash Flows in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements." -8- The Bank is required to maintain an average daily balance of liquid assets (cash, certain time deposits, bankers' acceptances, specified United States Government, state or federal agency obligations, shares of certain mutual funds and certain corporate debt securities and commercial paper) in each calendar quarter of not less than four percent of either (1) the liquidity base at the end of the preceding quarter, or (2) the average daily balance of the liquidity base during the preceding quarter equal to a specified percentage of its net withdrawable deposit accounts plus short-term borrowings. This liquidity requirement may be changed from time to time by the OTS to any amount within the range of 4.0% to 10%, depending upon economic conditions and the savings flows of member institutions. Currently, it is 4.0%. Monetary penalties may be imposed for failure to meet these liquidity requirements. At June 30, 1999, the Bank's liquidity position was $40.4 million, or 15.8%, of liquid assets, compared to $45.7 million, or 17.6%, at December 31, 1998. Stockholders' equity totaled $43.7 million at June 30, 1999 compared to $48.2 million at December 31, 1998, reflecting the Company's stock repurchases, earnings for the quarter, the amortization of the unallocated portion of shares held by the ESOP, dividends declared on common stock and the change in the net unrealized gains (losses) on securities, net of taxes. On April 6, 1999, the Company paid a quarterly cash dividend equal to $0.10 per share on common stock outstanding as of the close of business on March 16, 1999, aggregating $286,000. On May 21, 1999, the Company declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.10 per share payable on July 6, 1999 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on June 16, 1999, aggregating $274,000.

The actual statement of income for the three months ended June 30, 1999 was used for comparison purposes to the actual statement of income for the three months ended June 30, 1998. The actual statement of income for the six months ended June 30, 1999 was used for comparison purposes to the pro forma statement of income for the six months ended June 30, 1998 in order to more clearly present the changes in the results of operations. Interest Income. Interest income decreased by $45,000 to $6.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999 compared to $6.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 1998. The decrease in interest income was primarily due to a decrease in the average yield on loans and interest bearing cash. The yields on interest earning assets decreased from 7.70% for the three months ended June 30, 1998 to 7.51% for the three months ended June 30, 1999. The average yields on loans and interest bearing cash declined due to a general decrease in the market interest rates. The impact of the decrease in average yields was offset in part by an increase in the average balance of interest earning assets. The average balance of interest bearing assets increased $5.4 million (primarily first mortgage and -10- RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued) consumer loans, offset by decreases in securities available for sale and interest bearing cash) to $320.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999 from $314.6 million for the comparable 1998 period. The increase in the average balance of loans generally reflects an increase over the past twelve months in originations of first and second mortgage loans and purchases of first mortgage loans secured primarily by multi-family residences and commercial real estate, which were offset, in part, by payments and prepayments on such loans. See "Financial Condition." The impact of the increase in the average balances of loans was offset in part by a decrease in the average balance of securities available for sale. The decrease in the average balance of securities available for sale was due to sales, calls and maturities, which were offset, in part, by purchases of available for sale securities. Interest income decreased by $165,000 to $12.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 compared to $12.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998. The decrease in interest income was primarily due to a decrease in the average yield on loans and interest bearing cash. The average yield on interest earning assets decreased from 7.71% for the six months ended June 30, 1998 to 7.53% for the six months ended June 30, 1999. The average yields on loans and interest earning cash declined due to a general decrease in the market interest rates. The impact of the decrease in average yields was offset in part by an increase in the average balance of interest earning assets. The average balance of interest bearing assets increased $3.1 million (primarily first mortgage and consumer loans and interest bearing cash) to $318.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 from $315.3 million for the comparable 1998 period. The increase in the average balance of loans generally reflects an increase over the past twelve months in originations of first and second mortgage loans and purchases of first mortgage loans secured primarily by multi-family residences and commercial real estate, which were offset, in part, by payments and prepayments on such loans. See "Financial Condition." The impact of the increase in the average balances of loans was offset in part by a decrease in the average balance of securities available for sale. The decrease in the average balance of securities available for sale was due to sales, calls and maturities, which were offset, in part, by purchases of available for sale securities. Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased by $56,000 to $3.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999 compared to $3.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 1998. The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to a decrease in the average cost of interest bearing liabilities from 4.87% for the three months ended June 30, 1998 to 4.54% for the three months ended June 30, 1999. The average cost of interest bearing liabilities declined due to a general decrease in the market interest rates. The impact of the decrease in average cost of interest bearing liabilities was offset in part by an increase in the average balance of interest bearing liabilities. The increase in the average balance of interest bearing liabilities was primarily due to a $5.0 million increase in the average balance of NOW and money market savings accounts and a $6.0 million increase in the average balance of borrowed funds. The increase in such deposit accounts is due to increased marketing of the Company's NOW accounts. The increase in the borrowed funds was due to the borrowing of funds in part to fund the corresponding asset growth. Interest expense decreased by $178,000 to $6.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 compared to $6.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998. The decrease in interest expense was primarily due to a decrease in the average cost of interest bearing liabilities from 4.88% for the six months ended June 30, 1998 to 4.59% for the six months ended June 30, 1999. The average cost of interest bearing liabilities declined due to a general decrease in the market interest rates. The impact of the decrease in average cost of interest bearing liabilities was offset in part by an increase in the average balance of interest bearing liabilities. The increase in the average balance of interest bearing liabilities was primarily due to a $4.6 million increase in the average balance of NOW and money market savings accounts and a $3.3 million increase in the average balance of borrowed funds. The increase in such deposit accounts is due to increased marketing of the Company's NOW accounts. The increase in the borrowed funds was due to the borrowing of funds in part to fund the corresponding asset growth. Net Interest Income. Net interest income before the provision for loan losses increased by $10,000 to $2.77 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999 from $2.76 million for the three months ended June 30, 1998. The increase is primarily due to the increase in the interest rate spread, offset by the decrease in the excess of average interest earning assets over the average interest bearing liabilities. The interest rate spread (i.e., the difference in -11- RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued) the average yield on assets and average cost of liabilities) increased to 2.97% for the three months ended June 30, 1999 from 2.83% for the three months ended June 30, 1998. Net interest income before the provision for loan losses increased by $13,000 to $5.54 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 from $5.52 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998. The increase is primarily due to the increase in the interest rate spread, offset by the decrease in the excess of average interest earning assets over the average interest bearing liabilities. The interest rate spread (i.e., the difference in the average yield on assets and average cost of liabilities) increased to 2.94% for the six months ended June 30, 1999 from 2.83% for the six months ended June 30, 1998. The following table sets forth certain information relating to the Company's actual and pro forma average balance sheets and reflects the actual and pro forma average yield on assets and actual and pro forma average cost of liabilities for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. -12- RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

-13- RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued) Provision for Loan Losses. The Company's provision for loan losses was $30,000 and $60,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The Company's provision for loan losses was $60,000 and $120,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The Company establishes provisions for loan losses, which are charged to operations, in order to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level which is deemed to be appropriate based upon an assessment of prior loss experience, industry standards, past due loans, economic conditions, the volume and type of loans in the Bank's portfolio, which includes a significant amount of multifamily and commercial real estate loans, substantially all of which are purchased and are collateralized by properties located outside of the Bank's market area, and other factors related to the collectibility of the Bank's loan portfolio. The net charge offs were $4,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 as compared to net charge offs of $8,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1998. The resulting allowance for loan losses was $2.7 million at June 30, 1999 as compared to $2.7 million at December 31, 1998 and $2.6 million at June 30, 1998. The level of nonperforming loans decreased to $276,000 at June 30, 1999 from $956,000 at December 31, 1998 and increased from $162,000 at June 30, 1998. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses is adequate. While management estimates loan losses using the best available information, such as independent appraisals for significant collateral properties, no assurance can be made that future adjustments to the allowance will not be necessary based on changes in economic and real estate market conditions, further information obtained regarding known problem loans, identification of additional problem loans, and other factors, both within and outside of management's control. Noninterest Income. Total noninterest income increased by $81,000 to $1,055,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1999 from $974,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1998. The increase is primarily due to increases in fees and service charges and other income. Other fees and service charges increased $22,000, primarily due to increases in overdraft fees. Other income increased $46,000, primarily due to an increase in revenues from the sale of loans, annuity sales and gains on the sale of foreclosed real estate, offset by decreases in insurance sales. Noninterest income for the three months ended June 30, 1999 reflects gains on sales of securities available for sale of $32,000, while the three months ended June 30, 1998 does not include any gains on sale of securities available for sale. Total noninterest income increased by $132,000 to $1,975,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 from $1,843,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1998. The increase is due primarily to increases in fees and service charges and other income. Other fees and service charges increased $110,000, primarily due to increases in overdraft fees, NOW and savings account service charges and loan prepayment fees. Other income increased $82,000, primarily due to an increase in revenues from the sale of loans, annuity sales and rent income, offset by losses on disposal of certain equipment and decreases in insurance sales. Noninterest income for the six months ended June 30, 1999 reflects gains on sales of securities available for sale of $32,000, compared to gains on sale of securities available for sale of $55,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1998. Noninterest Expense. Total noninterest expense increased by $263,000 to $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999 from $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 1998. The increase is primarily due to increases in salaries and employee benefits, premises and equipment, data processing and other expenses. The increase in salaries and employee benefits was primarily due to normal salary increases and additional employees and related insurance and payroll taxes. The increases in premises and equipment was primarily due to an increase in depreciation expense relating primarily to the purchase of computer equipment, software, ATMs, the opening of a branch located in Perry, Iowa and normal cost increases. The increase in data processing expense was due to one time costs incurred as a result of additional data processing services utilized by the Bank due to the Acquisition, upgrading the Bank's operating systems, Year 2000 costs and normal cost increases. The increase in other expenses was primarily due to increased professional fees and costs to process checking account transactions. The Company's efficiency ratio for the three months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 were 56.41% and 50.78%, respectively. The Company's ratio of noninterest expense to average assets for the three months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 were 2.56% and 2.35%, respectively. Total noninterest expense increased by $276,000 to $4.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 from $3.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998. The increase is primarily due to increases in salaries and employee benefits, premises and equipment and data processing. The increase in salaries and benefits was primarily due to normal salary increases and additional employees and related insurance and payroll taxes. The increases in premises and equipment was primarily due to an increase in depreciation expense relating to the purchase of computer equipment and -14- RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued) software, ATMs and normal cost increases. The increase in data processing expense was due to one time costs incurred as a result of additional data processing services utilized by the Bank due to the Acquisition, upgrading the Bank's operating systems, Year 2000 costs and normal cost increases. The Company's efficiency ratio for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 were 56.07% and 53.42%, respectively. The Company's ratio of noninterest expense to average assets for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 were 2.51% and 2.37%, respectively. Income Taxes. Income taxes decreased by $99,000 to $563,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1999 as compared to $662,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1998. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in pre-tax earnings during the 1999 period as compared to the corresponding 1998 period. Income taxes decreased by $120,000 to $1,109,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 as compared to $1,229,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1998. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in pre-tax earnings during the 1999 period as compared to the corresponding 1998 period. Net Income. Net income totaled $1,074,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1999, compared to $1,116,000 for the same period in 1998. Net income totaled $2,132,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1999, compared to $2,082,000 for the same period in 1998. Year 2000 Compliance. The Year 2000 ("Y2K") issue is a serious operational problem that is widespread and complex, affecting all industries. The problem consists essentially of the risk that programming code in existing computer systems will fail to properly recognize the new millennium when it occurs in the Year 2000. Many computer programs and related hard-printed memory circuits were developed with six-digit date fields. These programs and memory circuits were designed and developed without considering the impact of the upcoming change in the century. If not corrected, many computer applications could fail or create erroneous results by or at the Year 2000. Because banks rely heavily on their computer systems, the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council ("FFIEC") has placed significant emphasis on the problems surrounding the Year 2000 issues and has required financial institutions to document the assessment, testing and corrections made to ready their computer systems and programs for the Year 2000 date change. The FFIEC and the OTS have strict regulations, guidelines and milestones in place that each FDIC-insured financial institution must follow in order to remain operational. The Company's board of directors has remained informed of the Company's position and progress in its Year 2000 project. In addition, noninformation technology systems, such as equipment like telephones, copiers, fax machines and elevators may also contain embedded technology which controls its operation and which may be effected by the Y2K problem. When the Year 2000 arrives, systems, including some of those with embedded chips, may not work properly because of the way they store date information. They may not be able to process correctly the date 01/01/00, and may not be able to function with operational 'cycles' such as 'do X every 100 days'. Thus, even noninformation technology systems may affect the normal operations of the Company upon arrival of the Year 2000. In order to address the Y2K issue and to minimize its potential adverse impact on the Company and its operations, management has begun a process to identify areas that will be affected by the Y2K Problem, assess its potential impact on the operations of the Company, monitor the progress of Fiserv, Inc. of Milwaukee ("Fiserv") and other third party software vendors in addressing the matter, test changes provided by these vendors, and develop contingency plans for all critical systems. An internal committee of the Company has been formed to address the potential risks that Y2K poses for the Company. The Company's Y2K committee has completed the awareness, inventory, assessment and testing phases of Y2K. The Company's most critical exposure to Y2K system problems is with its data processing provider, Fiserv. The Company has been advised by Fiserv that Fiserv's on line real time processing platform ("Vision system") is Y2K ready as of February, 1999. Although the effort to prepare for Y2K is intended to address all Y2K issues, the Company has developed contingency plans to address potential Y2K issues that arise despite the Company's Y2K compliance effort. Contingency plans have been developed on a department-by-department basis in -15- RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued) anticipation of the possibility of unplanned system difficulties or failure of third parties to successfully prepare reporting procedures. The testing phase on the Company's contingency plans began in the second quarter of 1999 and will continue to be tested through the third quarter of 1999. The Company anticipates that it has and will incur internal staff costs, consulting costs, data processing costs, additional purchase of equipment and other expenses related to the enhancements necessary to prepare its systems for Y2K. The Company has replaced some equipment, software and incurred consulting fees at a cost of approximately $50,000. Management anticipates the additional costs associated with Year 2000 compliance will not exceed $100,000. Any personnel and consulting costs have been and will continue to be expensed as incurred. If the Company is not Y2K compliant, the costs to become compliant would likely be material to the financial condition and operating results of the Company. ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK In management's opinion, there has not been a material change in market risk from December 31, 1998 as reported in Item 7A of the Form 10-K. -16- PART II.

As of the close of business on January 30, 1998, the Bank completed the acquisition of Valley Financial Corp. pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of September 18, 1997. The acquisition resulted in the merger of Valley Financial's wholly owned subsidiary, Valley Savings Bank, FSB, with and into the Bank, with the Bank as the resulting financial institution. Valley Savings, headquartered in Burlington, Iowa, was a federally-chartered stock savings bank with three branch offices located in southeastern Iowa, with assets of approximately $110 million. The former offices of Valley Savings are being operated as a division of the Bank. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase transaction and therefore, the operating results of the former offices of Valley Savings Bank are included in the 1998 operating results of the Company only from the date of acquisition through June 30, 1998. Therefore, the comparison between periods is significantly impacted by this acquisition. Stockholders of record on June 16, 1999, received a quarterly cash dividend of $0.10 per share on July 6, 1999. Total assets at June 30, 1999 were $343.6 million as compared to $336.7 million at December 31, 1998. The increase in assets resulted primarily from increases in loans and fixed assets, offset by decreases in cash. Cash decreased $6.2 million, or 39.6%, from $15.6 million at December 31, 1998 to $9.4 million at June 30, 1999. Loans increased by $10.4 million, or 4.1%, from $254.0 million at December 31, 1998 to $264.4 million at June 30, 1999. Fixed assets increased $1.5 million, or 40.3%, from $3.6 million at December 31, 1998 to $5.1 million at June 30, 1999. - MORE - Deposits increased $10.1 million, or 4.1%, from $246.7 million at December 31, 1998 to $256.7 million at June 30, 1999. Other borrowed funds increased $1.4 million, or 3.7%, from $38.8 million at December 31, 1998 to $40.3 million at June 30, 1999. The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of income, for the six months ended June 30, 1998, presented in this press release is based on the historical financial statements of the Company and Valley Financial and was prepared as if the acquisition had occurred as of the beginning of the period for purposes of the combined consolidated statement of income. The pro forma financial statement of income is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that might have occurred had the acquisition taken place at the beginning of the period, or to project the Company's results of operations at any future date or for any future period. Nonperforming assets were 0.17% of total assets as of June 30, 1999 compared to 0.34% of total assets as of December 31, 1998. The allowance for loan losses was $2.7 million, or 1.01% of total loans, at June 30, 1999, compared to $2.7 million, or 1.03% of total loans, at December 31, 1998. The net interest spread for the three months ended June 30, 1999 of 2.97% was increased from the net interest spread of 2.85% for the three months ended June 30, 1998. The net interest margin for the three months ended June 30, 1999 of 3.46% was decreased from the net interest margin of 3.51% for the three months ended June 30, 1998. Net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 1999 was $2.8 million, compared to net interest income of $2.8 million for the corresponding period a year ago. The Bank's provision for loan losses was $30,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1999, compared to pro forma provision for loan losses of $60,000 for the corresponding period a year ago. The Company establishes provisions for loan losses, which are charged to operations, in order to maintain the allowance for loan losses at a level which is deemed to be appropriate based upon an assessment of prior conditions, the volume and type of loans in the Bank's portfolio, and other factors related to the collectibility of the Bank's loan portfolio. Stockholders' equity was $43.7 million at June 30, 1999, compared to $48.2 million at December 31, 1998, the decrease was due primarily to stock repurchases. Book value, or stockholders' equity, per share at June 30, 1999 was $16.46, compared to $16.26 at December 31, 1998. The ratio of stockholders' equity to total assets was 12.7% at June 30, 1999, as compared to 14.3% at December 31, 1998.
