Holdings Corporation (OTC:MCPH) (BULLETIN BOARD: MCPH) (the
"Company"), the holding company for Midland Federal Savings and
Loan Association ("Midland Federal"), today announced that net
income for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 totaled $140,000, or
$0.38 per diluted share, compared to net income of $261,000, or
$0.70 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2006. Net
income for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 totaled $698,000, or
$1.87 per diluted share, compared to net income totaling $1.0
million, or $2.71 per diluted share for the fiscal year ended June
30, 2006. Midland Capital Holdings Corporation also announced that
it will pay a regular cash dividend of $0.24 per share for the
quarter ended June 30, 2007. The dividend will be payable August
16, 2007 to shareholders of record as of August 6, 2007. Annualized
return on average assets and annualized return on average equity
during the quarter ended June 30, 2007 were .45% and 4.11%,
respectively compared to .79% and 7.89%, respectively, for the
comparable prior year quarter. For the fiscal year ended June 30,
2007, annualized return on average assets was .56% and annualized
return on average equity was 5.15%, compared to .76% and 7.78%,
respectively, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. Net interest
income decreased $146,000 to $1.14 million in the quarter ended
June 30, 2007 as compared to the prior year quarter. The decrease
in net interest income is primarily attributed to a decrease in
interest rate spread to 3.42% for the quarter ended June 30, 2007
from 3.79% for the prior year period. The average balance of
interest earning assets also decreased to $119.8 million for the
quarter ended June 30, 2007 compared to $124.4 million for the
prior year quarter. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 net
interest income decreased $444,000 to $4.73 million. The decrease
in net interest income in the current fiscal year was also
primarily the result of a decrease in interest rate spread to 3.58%
compared to 3.80% in the prior year period. Non-interest income
decreased $69,000 to $164,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 2007
from $233,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 2006. The primary
factors for the decrease in non-interest income were a $25,000
decrease in deposit related fees, a $21,000 decrease in loan fees
and service charges, a $15,000 decrease in gain on the sale of
loans offset by a $9,000 increase in commission income.
Non-interest income in the prior year quarter was also increased by
an $18,000 gain from additional proceeds received on the sale of
Midland Federal's investment in Intrieve, Incorporated
("Intrieve"), Midland Federal's data processing provider. For the
fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 non-interest income decreased
$143,000 to $756,000 compared to the prior year. The primary
factors for the decrease in non-interest income were a $110,000
decrease in deposit related fees and an $80,000 decrease in loan
fees and service charges offset by a $35,000 increase in gain on
the sale of loans, a $24,000 recovery of data communication charges
billed in error and a $16,000 increase in commission income.
Non-interest income in the 2006 fiscal year was also increased as a
result of a $35,000 gain from additional proceeds received on the
sale of Midland Federal's investment in Intrieve. Non-interest
expense decreased $38,000 to $1.09 million in the quarter ended
June 30, 2007 as compared to the prior year quarter. The decrease
in non-interest expense is primarily the result of a $27,000
decrease in staffing costs. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007
non-interest expense decreased $117,000 to $4.43 million compared
to the prior year. The primary factors for the decrease in
non-interest expense in the current fiscal year were a $58,000
decrease in staffing costs, a $22,000 decrease in computer software
and support expense and an $11,000 decrease in data processing fees
offset by a $22,000 increase in office occupancy expense. The
decrease in staffing costs is primarily attributed to a $38,000
decrease in payroll expenses and a $20,000 decrease in loan
origination commissions due to a decrease in lending volume.
Non-performing assets were .41% of total assets at June 30, 2007
and consisted of $511,000 in non-performing loans compared to
$327,000 in non- performing loans, or .25% of total assets, at June
30, 2006. Non-accruing loans at June 30, 2007 consisted of $484,000
in one-to-four family residential mortgage loans and $27,000 in
non-mortgage loans. The allowance for loan losses increased $4,000
during fiscal 2007 due to net recoveries and amounted to $420,000,
or 0.49% of total loans, at June 30, 2007. The Company made no loan
loss provisions during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. At June
30, 2007 the Company's ratio of allowance for loan losses to

compared to total assets of $130.8 million at June 30, 2006. Net

30, 2007. Total deposits decreased $6.3 million to $109.7 million
at June 30, 2007 from $116.0 million at June 30, 2006. The net
decrease in deposits is primarily attributed to increased
competition for deposit accounts in the current interest rate
environment. Stockholders' equity in the Company totaled $13.7
million at June 30, 2007 resulting in a book value per common share
of $36.80 based upon 372,600 shares outstanding. At June 30, 2007
