See accompanying notes to unaudited consolidated financial statements. 6 7 MIDDLEFIELD BANC CORP. NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION The consolidated financial statements of Middlefield Banc Corp. ("Middlefield") includes its wholly-owned subsidiary, The Middlefield Banking Company (the "Bank"). All significant intercompany items have been eliminated. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In Management's opinion, the financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, that Middlefield considers necessary to fairly state Middlefield's financial position and the results of operations and cash flows. The balance sheet at December 31, 2000, has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the necessary informational disclosures and footnotes as required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included with Middlefield's Amended Form 10 (File No. 33-23094). Certain amounts in the 2000 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to 2001 presentation. The results of Middlefield's operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of Middlefield's operations for any other interim period or for a full fiscal year. NOTE 2 - EARNINGS PER SHARE Middlefield provides dual presentation of Basic and Diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share utilizes net income as reported as the numerator and the actual average shares outstanding as the denominator. Diluted earnings per share includes any dilutive effects of options, warrants, and convertible securities. For the six and three months ended June 30, 2001, the diluted number of shares outstanding from employee stock options was 1,811 and 1,740, respectively. There was no diluted effect for the six or three months ended June 30, 2000. NOTE 3 - COMPREHENSIVE INCOME The components of comprehensive income consist exclusively of unrealized gains and losses on available for sale securities. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, this activity is shown under the heading Comprehensive Income as presented in the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Stockholders' Equity (Unaudited). For the six months 7 8 ended June 30, 2000, comprehensive income totaled $992,781. For the three months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, comprehensive income totaled $493,054 and $478,071, respectively. NOTE 4 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinations, effective for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001, as well as all business combinations accounted for by the purchase method that are completed after June 30, 2001. The new statement requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations and prohibits the use of the pooling-of-interests method. The adoption of Statement No. 141 is not expected to have a material affect on Middlefield's financial position or results of operations. In July 2001, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The new statement changes the accounting for goodwill from an amortization method to an impairment-only approach. Thus, amortization of goodwill, including goodwill recorded in past business combinations, will cease upon adoption of this Statement. The adoption of Statement No. 142 is not expected to have a material affect on Middlefield's financial position or results of operations.

11 12 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS General - ------- The Private Securities Litigation Act of 1995 contains safe harbor provisions regarding forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as "believes," "expects," "anticipates," "estimates," "intends," "should," "will," "plans," "potential" and similar words. Forward-looking statements are also statements that are not statements of historical fact. Forward-looking statements necessarily involve risks and uncertainties. They are merely predictive or statements of probabilities, involving known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors. If one or more of these risks of uncertainties occurs or if the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results in 2001 and beyond could differ materially from those expressed in or implied by the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based upon a variety of estimates and assumptions. The estimates and assumptions involve judgments about a number of things, including future economic, competitive, and financial market conditions and future business decisions. These matters are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond Middlefield's control. Although Middlefield believes its estimates and assumptions are reasonable, actual results could vary materially from those shown. Inclusion of forward-looking information in this Form 10-Q does not constitute a representation by Middlefield or any other person that the indicated results will be achieved. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking information. Comparison of Financial Condition at June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total assets increased $8.9 million to $185.4 million at June 30, 2001 from $176.5 million at December 31, 2000. This increase primarily resulted from an increase in net loans receivable of $8.0 million that was funded by an $8.4 million net increase in deposits. Total investment securities of $30.7 million at June 30, 2001 increased slightly from $29.8 million at December 31, 2000 as the proceeds from maturities and principal repayments were primarily reinvested in available for sale mortgage-backed securities. Management focused on supplementing loan demand primarily by lengthening the maturities of the investment portfolio through an increase in higher yielding, mortgage-backed securities of $5.3 million. This has resulted in a slight shift in the composition of the investment securities portfolio at June 30, 2001, as mortgage-backed securities now comprise 24.5% of the total portfolio as compared to 7.5% at December 31, 2000. 12 13 Furthermore, available for sale securities now comprise 57.7% of the investment securities portfolio as compared to 41.3% at December 31, 2000. Total loans increased to $143,272,000 at June 30, 2001 from $135,304,000 at December 31, 2000. The increase in net loans receivable resulted from the economic health of Middlefield's market area and the strategic, service-oriented marketing approach taken by management to meet the lending needs of the area. The majority of lending activity is predominately mortgage loans secured by one-to-four family residential property. Such loans grew $4.7 million to $106.1 million at June 30, 2001. Management attributes the increases in residential real estate properties to continued customer referrals and Middlefield's overall relationship with its customers. Also impacted by the local economic conditions were commercial and commercial real estate loans which increased in total by $2.9 million to $29.2 million. This growth was boosted by a loan of approximately $1.0 million to a local church. The allowance for loan losses represents the amount that management estimates is adequate to provide for probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio, as of the balance sheet date. Accordingly, all loan losses are charged to the allowance, and all recoveries are credited to it. At June 30, 2001, Middlefield's allowance for loan losses remained relatively unchanged at $2.0 million. The allowance for loan losses is established through a provision for loan losses, which is charged to operations. The provision is based on management's periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, taking into account the overall risk characteristics of the various portfolio segments, past experience with losses, the impact of economic conditions on borrowers, and other relevant factors. The estimates used to determine the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, including the amounts and timing of future cash flows expected on impaired loans, are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term. The total allowance for loan losses is a combination of a specific allowance for identified problem loans, a formula allowance, and an unallocated allowance. Total deposits increased to $155.6 million at June 30, 2001 from $147.2 million at December 31, 2000. Growth was primarily concentrated in time and savings deposits and resulted from continual marketing efforts by management. Time deposits account for approximately 52.7% of the total deposit portfolio and continue to be a dominate resource for funds. Total stockholders' equity increased $823,000 to $19.1 million at June 30, 2001 due to net retained income of $720,000 and increases in unrealized gains on investment securities available for sale of $104,000. These increases in stockholders' equity were offset by dividend payments of $309,000. Accumulated other comprehensive income increased as a result of changes in the net unrealized gain on investment securities available for sale due to fluctuations in interest rates. Because of interest rate volatility, accumulated other comprehensive income could materially fluctuate for each interim period and year-end period depending on economic and interest rate conditions. In addition, future dividend policies will be determined by the Board of Directors in light of 13 14 the earnings and financial condition of Middlefield, including applicable governmental regulations and policies. Comparison of Results of Operations for the Six and Three Months Ended June 30, - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2001 and 2000. - -------------- Net income for the six-months ended June 30, 2001 of $1,029,000 decreased from $1,109,000 for the same period ended 2000. Basic and diluted earnings per share declined slightly from $1.00 per share in 2000 to $.94 per share in 2001. Net income for the three-months ended June 30, 2001 of $491,000 decreased from $552,000 for the same period ended 2000. Net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2001 was $3,381,000, compared to $3,425,000 for the same period ended 2000. The decrease was primarily related to an increase in interest expense, in general, and interest incurred on deposits of $627,000, in specific. Interest income for the first half of 2001 was influenced mainly by increases in interest earned on loans receivable of $547,000 and federal funds sold of $70,000, while offset by decreases in interest-bearing deposits in other institutions of $31,000 and interest earned on investment securities of $16,000. The increase interest income and expense were both primarily driven by increases in the average balances of related interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. The average balances of loans receivable, specifically real estate mortgages, increased $13.6 million, or 10.9%, to $138.1 million as of June 30, 2001, and resulted in an increase in interest-earning assets of $16.1 million. Lessening the impact of the increase in volume of interest-earning assets was a slight decline on the tax-equivalent yield on interest earning assets to 7.87% for the six-months ended June 30, 2001 from 7.97% for the same period ended 2000. In addition, the average balance of time deposits increased $14.3 million, or 21.6%, to $80.6 million as of June 30, 2001, and resulted in an increase in interest-bearing liabilities of $13.1 million. Middlefield's competitively priced deposit products and continual marketing efforts contributed to the overall increase in the cost of funds to 4.86% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2001 from 4.39% for the same period ended 2000. Net interest income for the three-months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 remained relatively unchanged. Interest income increased $321,000 during this time period and consisted primarily of increases in interest earned on loans receivable of $286,000 and interest on federal funds sold of $35,000. As noted previously, increases in the average balances of related interest-earning assets of $13.6 million and $2.4 million, respectively, primarily contributed to the fluctuations in the corresponding interest income accounts. Increases in interest expense of $316,000 for the three-months ended June 30, 2000 resulted from interest incurred on deposits. The primary contributors for this fluctuation was an increase in the average balances of time deposits of $15.6 million coupled with an increase in the related cost of such funds of 45 basis points from 5.56% for 2000 to 6.01% for 2001. These competitively priced products were heavily marketed throughout Middlefield's market area. 14 15 Total noninterest income for both the six-months and three-months ended June 30, 2001 increased $82,000 and $43,000, respectively, as compared to the same period ended 2000. Noninterest income items are primarily comprised of service charges and fees on deposit account activity, along with fee income derived from other financial related services. Service fees on deposit accounts increased $72,000 and $38,000, respectively, and have progressively increased as the number of accounts and volume of related transactions have increased. Total noninterest expenses increased $185,000 and $140,000 for the six and three-months ended June 30, 2001, respectively, as compared to the same period ended 2000. Compensation and employee benefits increased $52,000 and $22,000, respectively, primarily as a result of normal merit raises. Additionally, equipment expenses and other expenses increased $40,000 and $91,000 for the six-months ended June 30, 2001, as compared to $27,000 and $83,000 for the same periods ended 2000, as a result of added capital expenditures in prior years from building and furnishing a new branch office in Garrettsville, additional ATMs, increased transaction activity from operating a larger organization, the marketing of the 100th anniversary of the Bank, costs incurred with the addition of internet banking, and increased professional fees associated with outside assistance in complying with the increased levels of regulatory compliance of a publicly reported company. LIQUIDITY Liquidity management for Middlefield is measured and monitored on both a short and long-term basis, thereby allowing management to better understand and react to emerging balance sheet trends. After assessing actual and projected cash flow needs, management seeks to obtain funding at the most economical cost to Middlefield. Both short and long-term liquidity needs are addressed by maturities and sales of investment securities, loan payments and maturities, and liquidating money market investments such as federal funds sold. The use of these resources, in conjunction with access to credit, provide the core ingredients to meet depositor, borrower, and creditor needs. Middlefield's liquid assets consist of cash and cash equivalents, which include investments in very short-term investments (i.e. federal funds sold), and investment securities classified as available for sale. The level of these assets is dependent on Middlefield's operating, investing, and financing activities during any given period. At June 30, 2001, cash and cash equivalents totaled $4.2 million or 2.2% of total assets while investment securities classified as available for sale totaled $17.7 million or 9.6% of total assets. Management believes that the liquidity needs of Middlefield are satisfied by the current balance of cash and cash equivalents, readily available access to traditional funding sources, FHLB advances, and the portion of the investment and loan portfolios that mature within one year. These sources of funds will enable Middlefield to meet cash obligations and off-balance sheet commitments as they come due. 15 16 Operating activities provided net cash of $1.1 million and $1.2 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively, and were generated principally from net income of $1.0 million and $1.1 million, respectively. Investing activities consist primarily of loan originations and repayments, and investment purchases and maturities. These activities used $9.5 million in funds during the first six months of 2001, principally for the purchase of investment securities and the net origination of loans. For the same period ended 2000, investing activities used $5.0 million in funds, principally from the net origination of loans. In 2000, these cash usages were offset somewhat by an increase in net investment repayments and maturities coupled with a decline in interest-bearing deposits in other institutions from maturities of certificates of deposits. Financing activities consist of the solicitation and repayment of customer deposits, borrowings and repayments, treasury stock activity, and the payment of dividends. During the six months ended June 30, 2001, net cash provided by financing activities totaled $7.7 million, principally derived from an increase in deposit accounts in general, and time deposits specifically. During the same period ended 2000, net cash provided by financing activities was $3.8 million, and consisted of an increase in deposit accounts that was offset by the net acquisition of treasury stock. Liquidity may be adversely affected by unexpected deposit outflows, excessive interest rates paid by competitors, and similar matters. Management monitors projected liquidity needs and determines the level desirable, based in part on the bank's commitment to make loans, as well as management's assessment of Middlefield's ability to generate funds. Middlefield anticipates it will have sufficient liquidity available to meet estimated short-term and long-term funding needs. CAPITAL RESOURCES Middlefield is subject to federal regulations that impose certain minimum capital requirements. Management monitors both Middlefield's and the Bank's Total risk-based, Tier I risk-based and Tier I leverage capital ratios in order to assess compliance with regulatory guidelines. At June 30, 2001, both Middlefield and the Bank exceeded the Minimum risk-based and leverage capital ratio requirements. Middlefield's Total risk-based, Tier I risk-based and Tier I leverage ratios were 17.39%, 16.13%, 10.31%, and the bank's were 16.94%, 15.69%, 10.12%, respectively, at June 30, 2001. RISK ELEMENT The table below presents information concerning nonperforming assets including nonaccrual loans, renegotiated loans, loans 90 days or more past due, other real estate loans, and repossessed assets. A loan is classified as nonaccrual when, in the opinion of management, there are serious doubts about collectibility of interest and principal. At the time the accrual of interest is discontinued, future income is recognized only when cash is received. Renegotiated loans are those loans which terms have been renegotiated to 16 17 provide a reduction or deferral of principal or interest as a result of the deterioration of the borrower.
June 30, December 31, 2001 2000 -------- ------------ (Dollars in thousands) Loans on nonaccrual basis $ 0 $ 0 Loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing 10 5 --- --- Total nonperforming loans $10 $ 5 --- --- Nonperforming loans as a percent of total loans 0.01% 0.00% ==== ==== Nonperforming assets as a percent of total assets 0.01% 0.00% ==== ====
At June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2000, no real estate or other assets were held as foreclosed or repossessed property. Management monitors impaired loans on a continual basis. As of June 30, 2001, impaired loans had no material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2001, loans increased $8.0 million while nonperforming loans remained relatively unchanged. The allowance for loan losses decreased $21,000 during this same period and resulted in the percentage of allowance for loan losses to loans outstanding to decline to 1.41% as compared to 1.51% at December 31, 2000. Nonperforming loans are primarily made up of residential and commercial mortgages. The collateral requirements on such loans reduce the risk of potential losses to an acceptable level in management's opinion. The allowance for loan losses represents the amount that management estimates is adequate to provide for probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio, as of the balance sheet date. The relationship between the allowance for loan losses and outstanding loans is a function of the credit quality and known risk attributed to the loan portfolio. The on-going loan review program and credit approval process is used to determine the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. 17 18 QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK Like other financial institutions, the bank is subject to interest rate risk. The bank's interest-earning assets could mature or reprice more rapidly than or on a different basis from its interest-bearing liabilities (primarily borrowings and deposits with short- and medium-term maturities) in a period of declining interest rates. Although having assets that mature or reprice more frequently on average than liabilities will be beneficial in times of rising interest rates, that asset/liability structure will result in lower net interest income in periods of declining interest rates. Interest rate sensitivity, or interest rate risk, relates to the effect of changing interest rates on net interest income. Interest-earning assets with interest rates tied to the prime rate for example, or that mature in relatively short periods of time, are considered interest-rate sensitive. Interest-bearing liabilities with interest rates that can be repriced in a discretionary manner, or that mature in relatively short periods of time, are also considered interest-rate sensitive. The differences between interest-sensitive assets and interest-sensitive liabilities over various time horizons are commonly referred to as sensitivity gaps. As interest rates change, a sensitivity gap will have either a favorable effect or an adverse effect on net interest income. A negative gap -- with liabilities repricing more rapidly than assets -- generally should have a favorable effect when interest rates are falling, and an adverse effect when rates are rising. A positive gap -- with assets repricing more rapidly than liabilities -- generally should have the opposite effect: an adverse effect when rates are falling and a favorable effect when rates are rising. Middlefield and the bank have no financial instruments entered into for trading purposes. Interest rates change daily on federal funds purchased and sold. Federal funds are therefore the most sensitive to the market and have the most stable fair values. Loans and deposits tied to indices such as the prime rate or federal discount rate are also market sensitive, with stable fair values. The least sensitive instruments include long-term, fixed-rate loans and securities and fixed-rate savings deposits, which have the least stable fair value. Management of maturity distributions of assets and liabilities between these extremes is as important as the balances maintained. Management of maturity distributions involves matching interest rate maturities as well as principal maturities, and it influences net interest income significantly. In periods of rapidly changing interest rates, a negative or positive gap can cause major fluctuations in net interest income and earnings. Managing asset and liability sensitivities to enhance growth regardless of changes in market conditions is one of the objectives of the bank's asset/liability management strategy. 18 19 Evaluating the bank's exposure to changes in interest rates is the responsibility of the Asset/Liability Committee, a committee of bank directors and officers. The Asset/Liability Committee assesses both the adequacy of the management process used to control interest rate risk and the quantitative level of exposure, ensuring that appropriate policies, procedures, management information systems and internal controls are in place to maintain interest rate risk at appropriate levels. Evaluating the quantitative level of interest rate risk exposure requires assessment of existing and potential effects of changes in interest rates on the bank's financial condition, including capital adequacy, earnings, liquidity and asset quality. The bank uses an asset/liability model to support its balance sheet strategies. Gap analysis, one of the methods used by management to analyze interest rate risk, does not necessarily show the precise impact of specific interest rate movements on Middlefield's net interest income because the re-pricing of certain assets and liabilities is discretionary and is subject to competitive and other pressures. In addition, assets and liabilities within the same period may, in fact, be repaid at different times and at different rate levels. Middlefield has not experienced the kind of earnings volatility that might be indicated from gap analysis. Middlefield's use of a simulation model to better measure the impact of interest rate changes on net interest income is incorporated into the risk management process to effectively identify, measure, and monitor Middlefield's risk exposure. Interest rate simulations using a variety of assumptions are employed by Middlefield to evaluate its interest rate risk exposure. A shock analysis at June 30, 2001 indicated that a 200 basis point movement in interest rates in either direction would have had a minor impact on Middlefield's anticipated net interest income and the market value of assets and liabilities over the next 12 months, well within Middlefield's ability to manage effectively. 19 20 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 1.

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Middlefield Banc Corp. and subsidiary as of June 30, 2001, and the related consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the six and three-month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, and the consolidated statement of changes in stockholders' equity for the six-month period ended June 30, 2001. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We have previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2000, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 16, 2001 we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements Wexford, PA August 9, 2001 -----END PRIVACY-ENHANCED MESSAGE-----
