ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-K
PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
Iowa First Bancshares Corp. (the "Company"), is a bank holding company
headquartered in Muscatine, Iowa. The Company owns all the outstanding stock of
two national banks in Iowa, First National Bank of Muscatine and First National
Bank in Fairfield.
On a full-time equivalent basis, year-end employment for the Company and its
subsidiary banks totaled 123 employees.
First National Bank of Muscatine has a total of five locations in Muscatine,
Iowa. The First National Bank in Fairfield has two locations in Fairfield, Iowa.
Each bank is engaged in the general commercial banking business and provides
full service banking to individuals and businesses, including checking and
savings accounts, commercial loans, consumer loans, real estate loans, safe
deposit facilities, transmitting of funds, trust services, and such other
banking services as are usual and customary for commercial banks.
The commercial banking business is highly competitive. Subsidiary banks compete
with other commercial banks and with other financial institutions, including
savings banks, mortgage banking companies, credit unions and mutual funds. In
recent years, competition also has increased from institutions not necessarily
subject to all the same regulatory restrictions or requirements as banks and
bank holding companies.
The operations of the Company and its subsidiary banks are affected by state and
federal legislative changes and by policies of various regulatory authorities.
The Company is a registered bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company
Act of 1956 (the "Act") and is subject to the supervision of, and regulation by,
the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Board"). Under the
Act, a bank holding company may engage in banking, managing or controlling
banks, furnishing or performing services for banks it controls, and conducting
activities that the Board has determined to be closely related to banking.
National banks are subject to the supervision of, and are examined by, the
Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. Both subsidiary banks of the Company
are members of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and as such, are
subject to examination thereby. In practice, the primary federal regulator makes
regular examinations of each subsidiary bank subject to its regulatory review or
participates in joint examinations with other federal regulators. Areas subject
to regulation by these authorities include capital levels, the allowance for
possible loan losses, investments, loans, mergers, issuance of securities,
payment of dividends, establishment of branches, and many other aspects of
operations.
Statistical information called for by this Item is contained in the Company's
2000 Annual Report to Shareholders which is incorporated by reference (pages 40
- - 51 of this Form 10-K).
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.
Since the Company commenced business, its principal executive office has been
located at 300 East Second Street, Muscatine, Iowa, which is the principal
office of First National Bank of Muscatine, a national banking association and a
wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
First National Bank of Muscatine conducts its operations from five facilities
located in Muscatine. The main bank is located at 300 East Second Street and is
a modern brick and steel building completed in 1979 containing 36,000 square
feet of floor space on three floors. The bank owns both the building and the
underlying real estate. All administrative functions of the bank are conducted
at its main offices. Portions of the building are leased to commercial tenants.
During 1997, a branch was opened inside the then new Wal-Mart Supercenter
located on highway 61 at Muscatine. This branch and the Wal-Mart Supercenter
were the first of their kind in Iowa. The bank operates this branch under a five
year lease agreement with Wal-Mart, with two five year renewal options.
Additionally, another new branch facility, which includes drive-through banking
services and is located across the alley from the main Muscatine banking
headquarters, was completed in the fall of 1997. This branch replaced a previous
downtown branch. The bank owns this facility and the underlying real estate.
Two locations, in addition to the new Wal-Mart branch, provide banking services
outside the Muscatine downtown area. The office at the Muscatine Mall is
approximately two miles northeast of the main bank. The facility contains 2,304
square feet of floor space in a one-story concrete and steel building. The
facility offers a walk-in lobby and night depository. The three-lane drive-up
facility of this branch is located approximately 500 feet west of the branch at
the parking lot of the mall. The building, drive-up facilities and real estate
are leased. The terms of the lease provide for monthly payments of $2,304. This
lease has expired. Management is negotiating with the new owners of the
Muscatine Mall for construction of a freestanding building on Mall property with
a long-term lease arrangement with First National Bank of Muscatine.
The bank's southside office at 608 Grandview Avenue is located two miles
southwest of the main bank. The office contains 3,600 square feet of floor space
and is located in a one-story steel frame, concrete block building. The facility
offers a walk-in lobby and three drive-up lanes. The building and underlying
real estate are owned by the bank. Portions of the building are leased to
commercial tenants.
First National Bank in Fairfield conducts its operations from a modern brick and
steel building completed in 1968 containing 8,200 square feet of floor space on
two floors. The bank owns both the building and the underlying real estate.
Portions of the building are leased to commercial tenants. A three-lane drive-up
facility is located at the main bank. In the spring of 1997, a new branch
facility was opened at Fairfield, Iowa. The building, which is located in a high
traffic area in front of the local Wal-Mart store on highway 34, contains
several private offices for lending staff and management as well as teller and
deposit services, including several drive-through lanes.
The Company's facilities are well maintained and are suitable for the Company's
business operations.
